Interview With A Meerkat

[cowardly_hero]

Some kind of interview thing from writingknight. Looked fun enough, so I figured why not.

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. When others comment asking to be interviewed, ask them five questions.



1. Why do you dislike love so much?

ME? I don't hate love or anything. I love a lot of things, actually. It's just that icky, lovey-dovey, mushy stuff with hugging and kissing. Eeeuuuk! And people think bugs are gross.

2. What's your favorite type of food?

Bugs, of course! Slimy, crunch, pointy... -Crunchy mostly. A personal jungle favorite of mine next to Pumbaa's cooking. But, more than anything I gotta say ant grubs (ant larvae). My mouth's just watering thinking about 'em! I haven't had those since... since I was a pup! They're hard to come by.

3. What does a meerkat do for fun, anyway?

Meerkats don't really have fun. I mean, sure, there's digging. 'cause you know, mud is just so fascinating. And maybe the odd 'festival' now and then to celebrate something like spring. But other than that, you'd have to be a pup to do anything exciting.

I however have several things I like to do for fun like eating, sleeping, playing games, singing...

4. You wouldn't happen to know the Meerkat Brothers from Kinkan Town, would you?

Maybe. They could have been kicked out of my old colony or somethin'. I've never been to Kinkan Town, or seen them though so I couldn't tell yeah for sure though. -why, are they here?

5. I noticed the words 'Hakuna Matata' on your journal. What does that mean?

Ah, two little words that'll change your life forever. It means 'no worries'; no rules, no responsibilities. Just taking life one day at a time. I tell yeah, it's great.


Ahiru's Questions:

1. So you're a meerkat? Where are you from, then?

A meerkat colony back in the Pridelands. That's in Africa I think.

2.) Go out and find adventure, or wait for adventure to happen?

It has a way of finding me when I least expect it more than me actually finding it. So, I guess I wait for it to happen. Not that there's ever a dull moment around anyway with a kid.

3. Do you like to dance?

Sure. I'm an excellent dancer, you know.

4. Does it ever get a little lonely, with no other animals here..?

Well... I, uh, never really thought about it like that... Maybe a bit. But like I said, I ain't been thinkin' 'bout it. Besides, I've met some other former animals 'round here so it ain't like I'm the only one.

5. How do you like Fakir's story?

How? Gee, I dunno, it's interesting? I've never heard any stories with knight's who are still alive after having their heart shattered into pieces. Uck! How can you touch those things? Don't you find it gross?


Valerie's Questions:

1. How did you meet your friend Pumbaa?

We kind of just bumped into each other. ...well, I bumped into him. He was following me and nearly gave me a heart attack.

2) Now that you know how dangerous some people here are, what can you do to prevent another fiasco from happening?

What kind of question is this? NEXT!

3) What's one of your greatest scams? (I know you've got some- I have been paying attention to you, you know).

Scams? Scams?! I don't know what your talking about. -Do I look like the scheming type? Because I would never, ever, ever, ever! so much as dream about trying to 'scam' someone.

-Outsmarting them though, that's an entirely different story. I got a million of 'em. Best one I gotta say would have to be when I tricked that cheetah who was going to eat me since I ended up savin' both my tail and Pumbaa's.

4) Got any idea where you want to head off to now? You have a map and probably a goal in mind.

After I pick up a certain map from a friend, I'm leaving the city to look for a few things with someone.

5) How EXACTLY did you meet some of your other strange friends in Paixao- like that weird kid with the hair that looks like someone-we'd-rather-not-talk-about?

Who, Laharl? On that message board thing they have here. We met to have a fight -a fight I won, of course.

Comments

[scarf-attack.livejournal.com]

interview me! :D

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm, let me see...

1. What is your favorite animal?

2. Where did you say you were from again?

3. What else can you do with your powers besides change tea cups?

4. What's your favorite season?

5. Can you make a tea cup of me too?

[thunderknives.livejournal.com]

Now I know you want to interview me. Don't be shy.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

... How many times do I have to tell you to stop showin' your face around here? You don't deserve anything close to an interview.

[thunderknives.livejournal.com]

I'll do whatever I please, since we both know you're too weak to stop me.



Also, are still sore over what I did? That's too bad... Here, let me give you a piece of advice:

Get over it.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Lemme give YOU a piece of advice:

Scram before I get really angry.

[thunderknives.livejournal.com]

Or what? You'll use more bolded font and growl at me?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

No! I'll... do other stuff too.

[writingknight.livejournal.com]

Bugs...? You eat...bugs...? Wow. That's an answer I wasn't expecting.
Hmm...I can imagine that's something you can't just go to the café and order here...

You like to sing? What sort of songs?

There not here as far as I know. (Thank goodness! They're really nosy. They're always running around in the library asking me "What are you reading? Why? You don't seem like the type to read! Are you just trying to get away from people?")
They're just the only meerkats I've met before, so I was curious.

No responsibilities...? Really...? Isn't that...a little dangerous?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Is there an echo in here? Yes, that's what I said, bugs. And your right, this place ain't got nadda. Even if they did, I bet they'd be fake, just like everything else here anyway.

Ehh, fun songs? I don't know, anything that comes to my head really. -except maybe those slow, sappy songs. It should have a fun melody.

Well meerkats are very sociable, at least with each other. They sound like quite the couple of pups -at least they sound like pups. They must like you to be bugging you all the time, ha, ha. Are you their mother too?

Dangerous? Of course not! It's anything BUT dangerous! How can you possibly get hurt by livin' with Hakuna Matata?

[writingknight.livejournal.com]

Hm...if there aren't any bugs around, then what are you eating?

Oh, so you write songs?

They're the equivelent of human teenagers, I think, so I suppose they'd be pups...
What?! I'M NOT ANYONE'S MOTHER! Particularly not them! They just like to bug people!

Hmph. Someone else I use to know had a 'no responsibilities' look on life and caused a huge mess in my town.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Mostly fruit since I got sick from some of the human food I ate not to long ago.

Sure, I guess you could say that. Actually... I like the sounds of that. I never really thought of it that way.

Until they turn one, that's right. They sound like they really got to you. Maybe I should take over where they left off.

Amateur, they were probably doing the whole 'no worries' thing all wrong. Take it from me, I know what I'm talkin' about here.

[writingknight.livejournal.com]

Well, at least we still have fruit around here...(Where do they get food, anyway?)

'Take over where they left off'?! What did I ever do to you??

Hmph. I suppose so.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

No kidding. I bet they're hiding all the real stuff around here somewhere...

I was joking. You are fun to annoy though. Yeessh, you really outta lighten up a bit.

Suppose so? What, you don't believe me?

[writingknight.livejournal.com]

I wonder...if someone could find where they're hinding it, maybe they could figure out a way to get home?

Ugh!! How can I lighten up?! I'm far from home, Ahiru's from a different part of the story, and there's something going on here that's completely out of my hands!

No offense, but I have reason to be wary of the idea. I'm sure you probably mean no harm.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

What does finding real food gotta do with finding a way home?

Oh, and you think your the only one stuck in that predicament? -well, believe me, your not.

Your loss.

[writingknight.livejournal.com]

Well...you know...if other worlds have real food, and they don't have any inside the city...
oh....but I saw some plants on my way to the city...
Shoot. Back to square one.

No, of course not! It's not that!
I just don't see much to be happy about in this situation currently. Besides her.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Weren't you listening to me? I said they were probably hiding the food, in the city. Gezz...

-wait, on the way to the city? You mean outside the gates?

You like her don't you? ...I knew it! Ha, ha!

[writingknight.livejournal.com]

Bah, sorry...I'm just trying to consider all of our options.

Yes, outside the gates. I woke up on the beach here, so I had to walk for a while until I got to the gate. I remember there being real plants out there. Maybe even some bugs...

L-like who?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Really? That's what Farllee and I were thinking since there's apparently a river out there too. This confirms it though, there's GOTTA be something to eat out there.

Oh, you know... Her.

[writingknight.livejournal.com]

Hmm...it seems like it's dangerous out there, though...I wouldn't just go out there...

....H-her...?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Danger, shmanger. It's not like I'm goin' out there alone or anything. Besides, if what people've been saiyn' is true, it'll be so worth it.

Yes, her! I don't have to spell it out for you, do I? Because I really can't spell.

[writingknight.livejournal.com]

Hmph. Just be careful. I don't want to have to save your scrawny behind when you get in trouble.

...You don't mean....Ahiru...do you?

T-that's rediculous! Why would I like her?! She's a duck! A-and she likes Mytho, anyway!

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

My behind? If anything, I'll be the one savin' yours!

How should I know? Do I look like a mind reader? Yesh.

[writingknight.livejournal.com]

Excuse me? What makes you think I'm going to need to be saved?!

Hmph. I am not in love with Ahiru. She's my friend, I'll protect her, but that's the extent of our relationship. End of story.

[aensland-love.livejournal.com]

Will you interview me too?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Sure, no problem.

1. So, what's with those things sticking outta your head?

2. Can you actually fly with those wings?

3. You gotta sister here or somethin'? You look kinda familiar.

4. What's your favorite colour?

5. Largest annoyance?

[aensland-love.livejournal.com]

Alright, I answered them in my journal!

[angelicklutz.livejournal.com]

Wow'su, Timon-kun! You're really amazing'su!

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I know I am.
