Interviewing Mira and Danaus

[Jocelynn Drake]

Let's pretend that you have a chance to sit down with Mira or Danaus, or maybe even Mira and Danaus at the same time for an interview. Imagine a nice comfy sofa, a pleasant coffee table, and an enormous studio audience.

What would you ask them if you had the chance? Do you have any burning questions you would like for them to answer as we head into the next two books?

*grins* so, how's that angry rival wall sex?

LMAO ... no ... really ... um .... does it get boring after a while living for so long or do they find new things to entertain themselves with, learn new things as they're developed to keep themselves fresh?

[Jocelynn Drake]

Nice question!

Of course, I think you're just going to get an angry look from both if you were to ask about their sex life.

*grins and giggles* but it'd be FUNNY

Questions:

Danaus: How close has he ever gotten to death? What was the circumstances? Was there a vamprie (besides Mira) that was a challenge to kill (although, kind of rude to ask/answer infront of Mira). What in the WORLD is his last name?! Any regrets?

Mira: Is she as jaded as she seems, or does she have any hopes or dreams for the future? After loving and respecting Jabari for so long, and finding out how cold and calculating he is, how has that changed her feelings toward him? Does she feel like she never really new him? Or does she feel betrayed? Can she ever really trust him? Who does she feel she can trust? Tristian? Knox? They are very loyal, but does she completely trust them?

Both: Their favorite cities that they've lived in. Favorite time period.

Er.....that's all I can think of...

Thanks for the great questions!!

Late to this post, but I would really love to ask Mira for the story behind the ring that Valerio gave her. Why does she wear it on that specific finger? When did he give it to her? Did she ever check on Calla after she became a nightwalker?

For Danaus I would like to know how he met Shelly. Certainly not the common type of person that Danaus and Mira encounter. Would also like to know if he's ever fathered a child that he knows of? Man can't be celebate forever, right? Even if he did live with monks for a few centuries. . . .

For both: What has been the hardest decision of your long life? What moments in your life stand out as the best? the worst? And finally, what's your favorite thing about the other?

oooh, awesome questions vampyrakasha!

[Jocelynn Drake]

I am now planning two different interviews. One for Danaus alone, which I am writing now.

The second one is for Mira and Danaus at a relationship counseling session. Do you have any questions for the therapist to ask? (Assume that only books 1-3 have been read)

Enjoy!

lol - relationship questions. Hmm, if only I had gone to marriage counseling. let me think...

If you were a tree what tree would you be - bwahaha, just kidding.

I'm going on the assumption they are going to a therapist to work out their difference? hmmm..so there must be problems right?

I guess a therapist would ask questions like:

What are the major problems you have with each other?

Having to work together has put them in close contact for days at a time, how does that make them feel? What do they do to give each other space? Is there really time for space? Does this cause conflict?

What would you like for the other to change to make it easier to work with them? What are your least favorite quirks?

What do you LIKE about each other?

Do you consider yourself a team player? Both have been working alone for many HUNDREDS of years, so they find it difficult to essentially depend on one another and do they resent it?

Respecting privacy - staying out of each other's heads. How is that working out?

hmmm, that's all i can think of for right now.

[Jocelynn Drake]

Great questions!!

[Vikki]

This is really a question however I'd Love to see some role playing where Mira portrays Danaus and vice versa. I think that comically golden.

[Jocelynn Drake]

Thanks for all the great comments and questions. The two interviews have been written and it looks like I'll be doing another for July. I think that one will focus on Knox for a change of pace. Or maybe Valerio? Still thinking.

[carnagsehls]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Knox??? *perks up*

[darkdaysfan]

I have to admit I'm starting to like Knox and wouldn't mind hearing more about him.
