For this one I'm doing something a little different, with all three of the agents involved in the same room. That way I can keep track of the questions a little easier! For reference, and in seating order from left to right, S: Sarah, L: Lapis, C: Cupid.

******

1. Ahh yes! Welcome to the interview! Please introduce yourself: name, species, continuum of origin?
S: "Sarah Katherine Squall, Super (yes, we were implied to be a derived species of human in my homefic), The Incredibles... albeit as the main setting for an equal parts nightmarish and cringe-worthy thirty-plus-chapter monster of a badfic involving at least a dozen different continua. Please don't ask.
L: "Lapis Armenus Lazuli, human, Pokémon anime. Sort of. It was an incomplete fic involving a few other things..."
C: "Cupid Carmine, Impetus miserabilis-turned-drunken-angel-in-a-pink-toga, Kid Icarus."

2. So, what department are you in, and who is your partner?
S: "Pfff, are you kidding? We're all a team here!"
*The other two nod in agreement.*

3. Let’s start with the basic questions. How old are you?
S: "I was recruited at sixteen, so twenty-one as of now."
C: "Biologically, unable to progress past thirteen, sadly. Chronologically, though, would you believe I'm actually 48 years old? Needless to say, this has caused a lot of problems when it comes to dating-"
S: "AMONG OTHER REASONS."
L: "Before these two get into one of those cartoonish balls of violence with me in the middle, can I just say that I'm sixteen now and move on?"

4. Height and weight?
S: "5'5" now, and 130 pounds in weight."
L: "5'3", 110 pounds."
C: "5'3", 90 pounds. Hollow bones, baby!"

5. Sexual orientation?
S: "Straight."
L: "Aro-ace. Funnily enough, my author did consider hooking me up with one of his OCs back when I was a badfic character, "
C: "Bisexual, though with a preference for women. And I swear to Lady Palutena, if you imply that I've become straight thanks to my relationship with Stephanie..."

6. IQ?
S: "Uh, what now?"
L: "They didn't have IQs back in the fanmade region I grew up in last I checked..."
C: "What's an 'aye-kyoo'?"

7. Bra size? / Boxers or briefs?
*All three of them exchange confused glances, burst out laughing, and simultaneously shout "NEXT!"*

8. Let’s cut the boring questions. Firstly, how many weapons are currently on your person?
S: "Just the one: a two-handed sword with ice powers, ganked from an Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfic by its original owner and given to me during the 2015 New Year's Gift Exchange."
L: "My double-headed axe-trident, Amphitrite. A relic from my homefic that I still use every once in a while."
C: "My three current weapons from the Kid Icarus continuum: the Angel Bow, the Eyetrack Orbitars, and the Ninja Palm."

9. Are you wanted for any crimes?
S: "About the only one who can say yes would be Cupid, and that's for being a Sue-wraith. We fixed that right away, though."
C: "Yeah, if anything, the worst trouble I'll get into nowadays is for swiping Bleeport from Rudi's."
L: "...I don't think I've committed any crimes per se, but then again I've worried so much that people will regard me as a Sue and want me gone... Not healthy, I know, but still."

10. And the age-old ‘Are you a virgin?’
*The girls nod with less than amused expressions.*
C: "Well, you know how Steph and I are... so..."
S: "Let's just move on."

11. Do you ever fantasize about same-sex relations?
*The girls immediately start getting upset looks. Cupid, meanwhile, folds his wings over his face to hide his blush.*

12. Lovely. So, what is your favorite curse word?
S: "Weeeeeeellllll... It'd probably be-" *long string of angry-sounding parrot squawking*
C: "No way! Well, I prefer to curse in Greek, since according to my homefic I was taught that as a mortal. It's a lot of elaborate-sounding fun, though I do lapse into English cursing too at times!"
L: "And I've got 'Legendaries', taking Arceus' name in vain, and I might know a few Armenian swear-words as well."

13. When was the last time you threw up?
S: "I get nasty vertigo whenever I get put through a drastic time and space transition, like a scene shift. I think one of our previous missions had one of those, so I'll probably just put that as the answer."
C: "And then there's all those times I got way too drunk... I think that one time when I tried genuine alcohol kinda counts. Not fun."
L: "...let's just move on. Please."

14. Have any mental illnesses?
*They all look at each other.*
All three at once: "PTSD."

15. What is your biggest phobia?
S: "...don't tell anyone this, but... planes. If you know my canon basis it should be kinda obvious why..."
C: "For similar reasons, fire. And bad things happening to Lady Palutena, or Stephanie..."
L: "...I'm scared of the dark... I know it sounds so stereotypical, but I sleep with a Lanturn-shaped night light on every night..."

16. Do you crossdress often?
*The girls shake their heads in denial.*
L: "Well, there was this one time when I got Cupid to wear a dress..."
C: "I thought. I told you. Not. To speak. Of that. Again."
S: "But technically it was through the use of a D.O.R.K.S. and not a-"
C: "NEVER. AGAIN."

17. Have any addictions?
C: "Bleeport. Definitely Bleeport."
L: "Of course it'd be you to answer that right away, Angel Face..."
S: "Yeah, well, he'd be the ONLY one with a straight answer, not gonna lie. 'Cuz we're pretty clean ourselves, for obvious reasons."
*Lapis nods, and Cupid's face feels rather warm.*

18. What is the closest you have ever been to dying? Or have you ever died?
S: "April 23, 1957. That... That's all I'm gonna say."
C: "I'm pretty sure I'm already in the afterlife..."
L: "I actually did die as well once, in a sense. I was disguised as a Steven Universe gem about three years ago, and there was this gem-ified replacement of a canon who got me with a volley of icicles. It took me two hours to regenerate, but as it was a dark period of my life back then, the effect was much more far-reaching than just a new hairstyle... I'm afraid I wouldn't even be here today if that hadn't happened, for reasons I... I'd rather not to talk about... *sniff*..."
*The other two stare at Lapis with horrified expressions, and then hug her very tightly.*

19. Have the FicPsych nurses ever taken you away?
*The three of them instantly burst up into frantic shouts of denial.*
C: "Next question, PLEASE! Don't give them any ideas!"

20. Are the FicPsych nurses after you?
*The three of them shake their heads.*
L: "We've already been to FicPsych for consultation, multiple times, at some point in each of our lives. The rest, well... We'd rather not discuss it."

21. Do you snore?
S: "Well, I can't say anything about Pi, but Cupid does. Rather loudly. I have to wear earplugs to bed every night just to get some shut-eye..."
*Cupid kicks her in the shin. She only feels a gentle nudge from the rather hard impact, and decides it was worth it.*

22. Are you drooling right now?
*The three of them shrug and mutter a collective negative. The girls either don't notice or consciously ignore Cupid surreptitiously wiping a tiny droplet of spittle from the corner of his mouth...*

23. Let’s say that HQ was about to explode, and you could save one other person in here. Who would you choose?
S: "Falchion, hands down. He's my brother, after all, who did you think I was gonna pick?"
C: "Definitely my girlfriend, Stephanie Podd. She's just too precious not to save, "
L: "I... I can't really answer that question with as much certainty as the others, since there are a few choices to pick. I would've gone with a certain someone, but I lost him a while ago, and his boyfriend... well, he has his own partner to deal with. I also feel a lot of kinship with Falchion because he and I were created by the same person, and I knew one of his past lives as well. But then there's his other partner-"
S: "Who's friends with me. I'm sure in due course you'll get to know her well enough to be friends with her, too!"
L: "Uh..."

24. When was the last time you used the toilet?
*All three of them give the interviewer a simultaneous triple death glare.*

25. Have you ever kissed a girl? / a boy? / another species??
S: "I have a boyfriend back in my home continuum, Wendell Zuckerman. We're in a long-distance relationship right now, but I do visit him every once in a while."
C: "For girl and other species, Steph definitely counts!"
L: "I don't do love, for multiple reasons. Never have, never will."

26. Did you like it?
*Sarah and Cupid both nod eagerly, but Lapis huffs in disdain.*

27. The little voices in your head. Do you talk to them?
C: "I kinda miss Lady Palutena being in my head, to be honest..."
*The girls look at him with startled expressions.*
S: "Well, to be fair, he used to be a Sue-wraith, so maybe his voice ended up being in Pit's head?"
L: "...I think my brain just broke trying to process that."

28. Were you made fun of in school? Why?
S: "I... I don't think so. I was actually pretty popular, especially since I had a zoo volunteer job before... before what happened."
C: "I kinda doubt I went to school myself. Used to work on my mortal family's farm before my own demise..."
L: "And I went on my journey as a trainer starting from the age of ten. So I'm naturally excluded."

29. I can’t think of a question to ask you. Have any comments?
S: "Probably not. This was kinda fun, actually, at least half the time."
C: "I agree. Well, I had fun the ENTIRE time, really."
L: "I didn't. That is all."

30. This interview has ended? Are you gleeful? Or would you like to complete our 100 question survey over thumbtacks?
S: "Eh."
C: "Can I have a shot of Bleeport now?"
L: "NO!"
