Journalist: Welcome once again, ladies and gentlemen, to another interview. Today, Reoku Kurosai, the infamous catboy thief is with us today to answer your questions. Reoku, thank you for allowing us to do this, today.

Reoku: Uh...yeah, sure. So, did someone put you up to this, or what? I don't exactly see people being interested enough in me to ask about my life.

J: Believe it or not, you have fans out there, and they want to know all about you. So, let's get started, huh? First, EclairTalon wants to know, "Reoku? What does it feel like to be tortured as much as you are?"

R: Heh...oh, so it's like that. How do you think it feels? I lose so much sleep thanks to nightmares of my past returning to haunt me. Just to walk outside makes me paranoid that something is going to happen. I guess the feline part of me gives me those nine lives, but I've got to be running out. It feels horrible, to answer your question.

J: Please don't get upset with me, I'm just relaying the questions, Reoku. On the same subject, Bashthedragon asks, "What's with you and all the nasty situations you get into?"

R: Really? We're still on this? I don't know what's with them. Trust me, if I knew, then I would make sure they wouldn't be happening to me. I can assure you I don't enjoy the things that happen to me, out there. The fact that I'm still here to even have this interview is a friggin' miracle.

J: Hey, they want to know. I swear I just copy them down as I get them. Alright, Leaf-Mithras submits, "Reoku, has there been a single time in your life where you've actually struck lucky?"

R: Well, of course there's been. For one, like I said, I'm still here. Believe it or not, I have had success in what I do. I have a roof over my head, and I can keep food on the table. Yeah, I'd say that's pretty lucky, especially in this city. If you can survive all the things that are out to get you, you're lucky enough.

J: See, wasn't that a little better? Okay, Zeara inquires, "What's the worst situation you've ever been in so far?"

R: *Sigh*...and here we go again. So much shit has happened to me, I really don't know if I can point out one particular incident. I mean, they're all pretty terrible, but...I guess the time I was trapped in the sewers with a Lizard that wanted to use me for his toilet. I won't go into detail, but it was not a fun time, believe me. So much gross stuff happens to me, it's a wonder I even smell normal...

J: Well, now that you mention it....nah, I'm just kidding, you smell fine. Slingblade_47 sends, "Reoku, I have to ask you - with the hard time you've had fitting into human society with relatively little acceptance between them, have you managed to form any friendships?"

R: Thank you for reminding me how much of an outcast I really am. Anyway...friendships? I...guess you could call them that. I mean...I'm acquainted enough with a few people to trust them. I don't know that I'd divulge all my life's secrets to them, but...yeah, I enjoy their company. I mean, a catboy here or there, a husky, wolf, otter...it's a rather diverse collective. At least they don't try to kill me.

J: It's nice to have friends, yeah? Alright, from metalgear500, "This is Richter Matthias. Would you feel humiliated if this rat used you as a living dildo? >:3"

R: ...Am I even supposed to answer that? That's disgusting. I thought you said these were my fans, not people who want to use me for sexual favors. Next question, please...

J: Okay, so I'm guessing you would be. Moving on, Kokomai asks, "Reoku, You seem like you may have a soft side. If so what makes you weak in the knees?"

R: R-really? You think so? Um, well...I mean, being a guy, I rather enjoy the sight of a rather attractive catgirl smiling at me. I'm a sucker for a pretty smile. Other that that, I'd have to say...as stereotypical as it sounds...I have a real weakness for a mug of warm milk while vegging in front of the TV. Ah, also, I happen to be a lover of music, so if I hear the right song for the right mood, I can totally get lost in it. You know, chills up the spine and all that.

J: Fascinating, really. Finally, garbagebagged submits, "Chris wanted to know if there were any heists that you have backed out on because even you thought the risks too high?"

R: Mm hmm, I actually have decided to pass up on a few opportunities because I didn't like how things were playing out. I'm a lot more careful now than I used to be. Maybe it's from all the horrible crap I've been through. Even when I don't think anything bad is going to happen, it somehow does. So really, I'm not as arrogant as I once was. At least, I don't like to think I am.

J: Alright, that about does it, Reoku. Can I get a picture of you to run along with the column?

R: I guess, sure. I'm not very photogenic, though.

J: No worries. I think it turned out nicely. And that concludes our interview this time. Thanks goes out to all those who sent in questions! And thank you to Reoku for answering them for us, as well. See you next time!
