Q: What is your name?
Polly: Apollyon,
my friends call me Polly. You may call me Apollyon.
Drew: My given
name is Drew Jessica Stanton.
Lenny: My name is
Lenore. Everyone calls me Lenny. I know, it’s a name that makes you think of a
mechanic or a bouncer, but it’s just me, Lenny.
Q: What kind of powers
do you have?
Polly: I’m not
telling you anything. Only a fool would reveal their strengths and weaknesses
so easily.
Drew: I’m a
succubus. Until recently, I didn’t know how much energy I could take from a
person without doing the deed, but now it comes pretty easily. I can also smell
emotions and steal people’s memories while I’m sucking their life force, so I
make an excellent interrogator.
Lenny: Well, it’s
actually a funny story. Not like, funny ha ha, but funny. You’ll find out more
about it later, though. I’m a shapeshifter. I can shift into the form of any
person, animal or supernatural thing that I’ve seen or come in contact with.
Pretty handy, actually.
Q: Tell me a bit about
you.
Polly: I like
food and rock music. I also enjoy spending long nights torturing traitors and
evildoers. Yes, I do use the word evildoer and, no, idgaf what you think of it.
Drew: I ran away
from home when I was fourteen ’cause my dad kept sucking the life out of my
stepmoms and I hated him for that. I lived on the streets for a while and was a
prostitute for a few years, but that’s all behind me now. I’ve found I’m a
sucker for pretty shoes, and I can run surprisingly fast in heels. Does that
count as a super-power?
Lenny: I’m 26, I
like long walks on the beach, pina coladas, and getting’ caught in the rain.
Just kidding. Although I do like pina coladas. Any-hoo, I grew up in a convent,
but never took to the whole nun-ish thing. They were cool, though. The nuns,
that is. Not that I have anything against other nuns. They knew I was
different, but they hid it from everyone else. After the monsignor found out I
was a shifter, he kicked me out. So, I lived on the street for about ten years.
I had it pretty easy, being a shifter and all. I never went hungry or anything.
It wasn’t that bad … sorry, I’m rambling.
Q: How does it feel
being a shapeshifter/demon/succubus?
Polly: Being a
demon is far easier than being an angel ever was. The expectations are less and
the reward is higher. Go Hell!
Drew: It sucks.
Lenny: I’m
getting used to it. I spent so many years trying to hide it and only using it
when I really needed to get something. Now, I’m kind of digging the fact that I
can openly use my powers to fight … what did you call them, Polly? Evildoers.
*Chuckle*
Q: What do you like to
do in your spare time?
Polly: Eat,
listen to good music, and skin evildoers.
Drew: I like to
people watch. People do the damnedest things….
Lenny: I like to
read a lot. I find, now that I have a paying job, I love to shop. I’m also
getting into at-home spa days. Like crazy face masks and lotions and stuff. And
music! I love music.
Q: What are your
favorite foods?
Polly: Steak
nachos, apple turnovers, and ice cream sundaes. Ice cream is kind of a special
order in Hell so we don’t get it often.
Drew: I love a
good Philly cheesesteak. I also really like fries and chocolate milkshakes
(even better—fries dipped in chocolate milkshake).
Lenny: I’m all
about the Lumberjack Slam at Denny’s. I’m also all about bacon cheeseburgers
and bottomless fries. And cheesecake!
Q: What is your
favorite restaurant?
Polly: I can’t
say that I actually have a favorite. There’s this one diner in Castleberry that
makes the best buttermilk pancakes. They offer fresh honey made right on site
as well as real maple syrup. Oh, and the bacon, so thick and perfect. Great,
now I’m hungry. Thanks, mortal.
Drew: Anywhere
that serves fries and milkshakes.
Lenny: There is a
taco truck around the corner that serves the best carne asada burrito, ever.
Like in all the history of taco trucks, this has got to be the best.
Q: Are you happy being
a shapeshifter/demon/succubus?
Polly: Yeah, why
wouldn’t I be? I am who I am and there is nothing I feel needs changing. Go me.
Drew: Not really.
I’d love to be normal—or mundane, as
my dad called it.
Lenny: I’m cool
with it. There are a few other monkeys swinging in my family tree, but I’m
getting used to what I am. I wish it could be different, but such is life.
Q: If not, why not?
Polly: Not
applicable to me.
Drew: Soul
sucking is ridiculously addictive, and it’s been hell living my entire life
with that monkey on my back.
Lenny: Swinging
monkeys. Some crazy mojo went down with my mom and dad when I was no more than
a twinkle in his eye. I wish it could have been different for them.
Q: What is your
favorite part about working for Hell?
Polly: The
medical, dental, 401k, and vision plans are out of this world. I mean, heck, we
cover 100% of those expenses. You’ll never find a deal that good anywhere else.
By the way, we are always hiring.
Drew: The pay,
the apartment, the car—in no particular order.
Lenny: Having a
job. Travel. Friends. I’ve never had that before. It kind of rocks.
Q: How does it feel
when you shift/call forth hellfire/suckle at someone’s life-force?
Polly: It tingles
a little. I mean, the fire used to burn painfully but over a few thousand years
my nerves have started to dull to it. The hellfire strengthens me and it can be
awful intimidating to mortals when fire erupts from my eyes. Always makes me
smile.
Drew: It makes me
feel like I can conquer the world … until the withdrawals hit.
Lenny: It feels
weird because I get the powers/limitations of what or who I shift into. The
actual shifting is instant, so I don’t really have time to feel anything.
Q: Have you ever
wanted to be fully mortal and, if so, do you still?
Polly: No way,
you meat sacks break way too easily for my taste.
Drew: Yes and
yes.
Lenny: I did when
I was young. I wanted to be a regular ole human. Now, I dig being a shifter. It
makes me kind of special, I think.
Q: What is your
favorite book?
Polly: I’d have
to say either The Hitchhikers Guide to
the Galaxy or The Giving
Tree.
Drew: I read A Wrinkle in Time in seventh grade,
right before I ran away from home. I liked that book a lot.
Lenny:
Interview With the Vampire, Jurassic Park, pretty much anything awesome. I
like mysteries and thrillers and stuff like that. If it’s awesome, I like it.
