Interviewer: How would you describe Joe Hills?
Cleo: (exhales) That's a hard question. He's one of the weirdest people I've ever met, which is saying a lot given my friend group.
I: Let's start with appearances then. What does Mr. Hills look like?
C: Any number of things, really. Normally, he is humanoid, but for the past few months he has taken the form of a puppet.
I: A puppet?
C: Yeah. Felt and everything. I told you he was weird.
I: So he's not human.
C: No, devs no. Every time I ask what he is he just says, 'I'm Joe Hills,' and refuses to elaborate. Personally, I don't think he's mortal. Every time I think I've got his age nailed down he talks about something from decades, even centuries, ago, like he was there.
I: Is he dangerous?
C: No, not unless you're allergic to poetry.
I: Does he enjoy poetry?
C: Yes, quite a bit. He takes any excuse he can get to write and recite it. He's not bad at it either.
I: What does he write about?
C: Anything and everything. Sometimes he mutters something about the Record Keepers being fond of it.
I: Are you familiar with the Record Keepers?
C: No.
I: Good.
C: Huh?
I: How did you two first meet?
C: (small laugh) Oh, that's a long story. Essentially, he dug me up.
I: Does he have a habit of committing grave robbery?
C: (shrugs) Not that I know of. Honestly, it wouldn't be the weirdest thing he's done.
I: What is the weirdest?
C: Ha! Do you want the list?
I: Actually, y-
C: Nevermind, forget I asked. I have things to do.
I: Reasonable. Is there anything else you'd like to add?
C: He's my friend, as well as a hermit, and a damn good artist. Also, I think his glasses are magic.
I: Why do you think that?
C: Just a hunch. I told you, he's weird.
I: Well thank you, Cleo, for your time. And now, the weather.

This is one of the goofiest things I've ever written.
Also, try to guess what city this is set in.
