Strawberries and Darkness

Peacemakers Interview #2

To PAIS,

Now that you've seen what would've happened if you accepted the path Moon wanted for you? Do you regret your decision?

PAIS: No...not much. It's weird though, like a double-edged sword. On one talon, I wished I could have that life with Clearblade. To be happy and spend my life with her but on the other talon, I wouldn't want it to be staged, for it to feel fake like how I am fake. I suppose...I'll leave that path for the other me...as long as their reality isn't...too shattered.

Do you remember the Thanksgiving?

PAIS: Sort of, I remember roughly what happened but no exact details. Kind of like a misty memory.

Do you think Ghost would have killed Clearblade if he wore the earring or would Whiteout prevent him?

PAIS: I hope it gets prevented...

To Darkmaker,

How do you feel about Moon?

Darkmaker *coldly*: I prefer not to talk about her.

How did you fuse? Were you originally separate?

Darkmaker: I already explained it but I suppose yes, my two halves used to be separate before becoming one...also known as me.

Who are your friends?

Darkmaker: I haven't thought about friends or not if I'm being honest. I guess with both of my halves competing on what to do emotionally, it's hard to decide if I truly consider some dragons as "friends". But if I had to choose then I guess I have Cliff, Blade, and Claws. Dusk and Bee are fine too, they're interesting.

What power of yours is your favorite?

Darkmaker: Clearsight, it's simple, it's the funniest move you can make against other animus dragons who think they're the most powerful. I just pull this within my cards and out goes the magic.

Do Peacemaker and Darkstalker argue inside of you?

Darkmaker: I wouldn't say argue as they don't have separate minds piloting me but instead I feel like I'm torn between two different wills, two different reasonings, two different mindsets, and you get the point.

To Ending,

How does it feel that someone is willing to kill Clearblade?

Ending: I'm...not sure what I would feel if something like that happened to her...would I scream? Would I be in shock? Would I...feel nothing like the nothing I am...I guess at the end of the day, it worries me. It worries me that someone might want to kill Clearblade.

What are your opinions on these other versions of yourself?

Ending: They concern me but I guess some of them are friendly...at least they explained some things...

To Hollow,

How does it feel to know why you are the way you are?

Hollow: I feel fine. Fine. Fine.

Strawberry: I for some reason doubt that...

Do you find it weird seeing versions of yourself that aren't like you? Versions capable of expressing themselves and their feelings.

Hollow: I believe I am expressing pleasure and happiness, am I right?

Ghost: She thinks that you don't seem to express any other feeling but that.

PAIS: Is it an error with the enchantment or...?

Hollow: I do not believe there is an error whatsoever. I feel perfectly intact.

To Ghost,

Can Whiteout see Darkstalker?

Ghost: I don't think so. I think she wants to though.

What are Whiteout's feelings about Nightmare?

Ghost: Whiteout does like him I think. He likes Nightmare's assistance and protection, it almost flatters her in a way. But I think she thinks is a little concerned about how much he protects her or at least desires to.

To Strawberry,

Do you still see Darkstalker?

Strawberry: Yeah, he still is with me. He's not as interactive anymore but he likes to joke around with me and observe the simpler life.

What happened after Sludgesnout's murder? Does Berrybush still die?

Strawberry: She dies...!? No, she's not dead in mine. After Sludge, we were forced time off and I spent a week with Berry, she never died but if I had to admit, I had a strange feeling all over in the rainforest.

Are you happy with Berrybush?

Strawberry: I have to admit, at first...I wasn't sure but I guess spending more time with her led me to understand and see a whole new side with her. A side I guess I started enjoying more.

To Prisoner,

Do you hate Icewings?

Prisoner: All I know is that they hurt me. I don't hate them, I don't think so. But how can I trust them if all they've so far done is hurt me?

Do you still have a good relationship with Darkstalker?

Prisoner: He kept me comfortable, he was my only friend I believe in the prison. Maybe besides...
