1) What is the first thing you notice about a new girl?
Presence. Most–the groupies, the ones that hang out after shows–I don’t bother to register. They blur by. To be worth my time, a girl has to make me notice her. Demand my attention. Command it. They are a precious few, the ones I bother to notice.
2) Why did you choose a band, rather than anything else?
*grins* They worship me, you know? When I’m on stage, everyone in that audience belongs only to me. They’re in the palm of my hand. Their frenzy feeds me.
3) Does being in a band help you with the ladies? *wiggles eyebrows*
The so-called ladies that come to the shows don’t exactly need convincing. As I said before, I don’t waste my time on them.
4) What would you say your best feature is?
I’d hesitate to say any feature is less desirable than the others. Wouldn’t you?
5) If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?
Oh, I suppose every once in a great while, I’m a little more kind than necessary. It’s a fault. Cruelty is twice as efficient.
6) What is it about Kristen that irks you so much?
*Luke’s eyes shift, his pupils dilating in darkening swirls* She’s a black hole of a girl. Her mind isn’t right. She dresses herself in those morbid gowns she strips off corpses. Laces up corsets as if THEY’ll hold her together. Her presence is astounding if she’d only– *leans back in the chair* Actually, I’d rather not talk about Kristen if it’s all the same.
7) Where do you hope that the road will take you next?
I don’t give much thought to the future. That way, no matter where I end up, I’m always amused to be there. Every development is a surprise. I would like to see Dawn’s Supernova head out on tour, but with the drama with the Siders escalating, it’s hard to say what’s feasible.
