章 29: Interlude 2: Carmen's Interview [75 Collections]

"Hay Dawson... Are you ready to connect me to Carmen so that I can Interview her? I'm sure our readers are dying to hear more about her and how she feels about how things are happening." (DeJeL)

"Sure thing Deej, just let me warn you, don't say anything relating to the events of volume 4 or beyond, I'm using a sort of time dilation to connect you to the her that is pregnant with our to be named child, Carmen. She does not know their name yet, so make sure not to say anything." (Dawson)

"Alright, yeah, I don't want to mess with the future or anything, that'd be dangerous." (DeJeL)

"Alright, I will fade out, then she will fade in." (Dawson)

How we were having this conversation is through a portal the size of a hand-held mirror... it's a portal that items can only pass one-way through, and that's to our earth... this portal will be explained in volume 7. This portal stays open, but seems to be fading from one screen to another, shifting from seeing Dawson to seeing Carmen.

"Hello Carmen" (DeJeL)

"Hello, are you Deejl?" (Carmen)

"Yes, It is spelled with the consonants being capitalized D E J E L, pronounced Deejl." (DeJeL)

"Nice to meet you, Sone has told me that you are publishing his books in another world, not from the Earth we come from, but from another?" (Carmen)

"That is correct, and that is why I am writing our entire conversation, so I can share this interview with the readers of set novels." (DeJeL)

"Wow, I wonder if they will even like such a thing?" (Carmen)

"Well, I didn't get many if any negative responses from the readers about the one I did with Dawson, and if I remember right, I was asked to do this with more characters, so here we are." (DeJeL)

"Well, if that's what they want, who am I to question them..." she laughs "... anyway, this is an interview, right? That means you have questions for me?" (Carmen)

"Indubitably, so let's just jump right in. One of our readers, by the pseudonym of Kingicez wants to know, What is your perspective on life and the meaning behind it?" (DeJeL)

"Life is what you make of it, and so is the meaning of life." (Carmen)

"Well, I didn't expect an answer like that... well to continue... Kingicez asks, Do you believe humans are nothing more than flesh and blood, also some bones here and there, and that they are completely unnecessary in the world, and the universe as a whole?" (DeJeL)

"Before my transmigration, I would have replied with uncertainty... however, now I am positive that such is not true because we can become gods, so why would we be unnecessary?" (Carmen)

"I don't even begin to know how to attempt to rebut that one... I guess I'll just ask the next question, from Kingicez, Do you ever think about what it would feel like to die?" (DeJeL)

"If I went into details, it would be a spoiler, but I already know what it's like, and it's indescribable." (Carmen)

"How many unexpected answers are you gonna give me today?" (DeJeL)

"That all depends on the questions you ask." (Carmen)

Rolling my eyes, "alright... the same reader also asks... well, this reader likes to ask morbid questions it seems? Anyway... Kingicez wants to know, how would you feel if you were dying?" (DeJeL)

"Umm, aren't we all slowly dying? You might as well just ask how I feel?" (Carmen)

"And how do you feel?" (DeJeL)

"Happy, worried, and sad... and I don't feel like talking about the latter two, but am happy that my little Carmen will be fine." (Carmen)

"Come again?" (DeJeL)

"Oh, I must have caught you off guard, we haven't officially decided on a name yet, nor do we officially know the gender, but do to some foresight that Sone doesn't know I have, I already know that upon her birth, he chooses to name her after me." Carmen said that with the biggest grin.

"Well, I guess that explains that, so, an anonymous reader wished to ask you, Do you think humans are disgusting, and if so, what percent would you say are and aren't?" (DeJeL)

"Do I think humans ARE disgusting? No. Do I think they can DO disgusting things? Most definitely." (Carmen)

"Understandable. Kingicez wishes to ask, What's your favorite color and food topping?" (DeJeL)

"My favorite color is Fuchsia, and my favorite food topping is called BBA." (Carmen)

"Care to tell me what BBA means and what its equivalent is back on your planet of origin?" (DeJeL)

"Oh, yeah, it is Black Bug's Ass and it is a sauce made from the feces of a specific type of black bug... I can guess how the readers would likely react to this, but trust me, this sauce tastes just like chocolate sauce, and based on how it's been described to me, and what I remember from home, has about the same nutritional value as such." (Carmen)

"So, your favorite topping is literally sh*t sauce." (DeJeL)

"Yes, to be blunt. But only the shit of that black bug, I won't eat sauce made from mine or any other human's shit, nor without having it carefully explained to me, any shit other than that from that specific black bug." (Carmen)

"Well, anyway, a reader by the pseudonym of Forsaken1 wishes to ask, and I quote, Will you marry me?" (DeJeL)

"No... what kind of question is that?" (Carmen)

"It gets better, they already predicted that answer and wanted to know, why not?" (DeJeL)

"I'm a married woman, married to Dawson, there is no way I would ever marry two men." (Carmen)

"What if Dawson were to die before you, what would you have said then?" (DeJeL)

"I still would have said no because I'm sorry, I'm not interested in inter-world relationships." (Carmen)

"Understandable... now, tell me about Dawson... anything you want to say about him." (DeJeL)

"All I can think to say is... he is a wonderful husband and father who I love with all of my heart, I honestly don't know what I'd do without him." (Carmen)

"Well, that says a lot, anyway, have a nice day Carmen." (DeJeL)

"You as well." (Carmen)
