Master Nage:  Vampires are sometimes called creatures of the night. Who are the creatures of the afternoon?

Michelle:  English Ladies from the Victorian Period drinking afternoon tea on the lawn, discussing the fine points of needlepointing.

Mandy:  The blonde-brigade, aka the group of speed walking moms that apparently require your husband to be a doctor or lawyer before they will permit you to don Nikes and join them.


Master Nage:  You make your favorite meal for dinner. Ask it an interview question. How does it answer?

Michelle:  Chicken Parmesan on a bed of pasta. Question: Now who’s your daddy, bitch? *taking bite* Answer: Ouch! You are! You are!

Mandy:  What? You want me to cook? I don’t like this fantasy much anymore. LOL


Master Nage:  What day isn't a holiday that should be?

Michelle:  The day we take over the world...hum...when was that again Mandy? I know I wrote it down somewhere.

Mandy:  I’ll have to agree with my partner in crime on this one. MM world domination day should really be recognized as a national holiday. We tentatively plan to take over the world on March 3, 2005. It’s my birthday and what better way to celebrate.


Master Nage:  What does the perfect man have that most other men lack?

Michelle:  *looking at husband and grinning* Tattoos. Oh, and at least a touch of the alpha. I’m really sick of these guys who I can make cry just by looking at them mean. Now, if Mandy looks at a guy mean, I can see why they’d start bawling, but I’m innocent-ish. *grin*

Mandy:  A really big.......heart, yeah, heart. *coughs* Umm, also no fear of being tied up by me, a taste for 80’s glam band music, and to NOT want to cuddle.


Master Nage:  You open a salon for lycanthropes. What do you name it and what does the ad copy look like?

Michelle:  I picture a shaved werewolf and werecat on the ad with little tuffs of hair sticking off their pink skin. But, if it’s a serious endeavor, let’s hire teenwolf for the layout. He had a pretty mean pompadour going in that movie.

Mandy:  “Hair of were”, we offer full body shearing, flea dips, nail filing, distemper shots, treatment for ear mites, powdering and a array of other services.


Master Nage:  How would you go about committing the perfect murder? Who would the victim be?

Michelle:  *looking at Mandy * Is this entrapment? What did you tell him? It was all her, I swear it. I had nothing to do with it! I’m innocent I tell you! Innocent! *running away from interview*

Mandy:  For one I’d make sure the victim was scheduled to be gone for a brief period anyways so that no one notices that they are missing right off the bat. I’d do it somewhere other than my property or any property I’d been known to frequent and make damn sure we were alone. A bullet to the head, while very effective is messy and leaves too much evidence behind for the examiners. I’d go for poisoning and then coat their body in chum and dump them into the ocean. I think that between the sharks, other aquatic life, and the current beating the body to pieces it would be hard to pull enough of it together to convict anyone. I’d also be very sure to pick a dumping location that tended to deposit things in an unpopulated area. Nothing like dumping a body only to have it wash up and a popular beach. No thanks.


Master Nage:  You open a school for vampires who need a bit of extra help. What would the curriculum be like?

Michelle:  Bloodletting 101, A&P, coffin maintenance, victim torture for dummies, Martha Stewart’s tips on coffin, crypt, and mausoleum decoration to liven up the drab vampiric atmosphere with bright colors and the use of floral patterns, and then they could spend the rest of the night with Mistress Mandy learning the fine points of her whip.

Mandy:  Anemia 202, how to overcome and avoid it, Vampire Disposition, how to look cool in leather, avoiding the pretty boy trap, the anatomy of a vampire, lycan: love em or hate em.


Master Nage:  What do you love to hate?

Michelle:  Mandy. What? Why you looking at me like that? Didn’t you know I hated you? Oh, don’t cry…all right, come here. *pats Mandy’s head* I don’t hate you. Jeesh. She is such a big baby sometimes...wait a minute...did you just feel me up?

Mandy:  I love to hate pretty much everything. It saves time and I’m not discriminating against anyone or anything. Works out well for all involved.
