> Good evening everyone out there tuning in. No matter if it's your first time or if this little show is a guilty pleasure, I’m your host Johnny Rocket and this is the Midnight Hour, Stardust Crossing’s local, home grown late night show. Tonight’s interview is with a guest I’m honestly amazed we got a hold of. Please, go ahead and say hello.

Y: Hello!

> laughs dryly Never gets old. Your name is…?

Y: Yulianna Novikov, but you can call me Yulie.

> I didn't even ask about nicknames yet!

Y: Sorry about that.

> It's no biggie! I wouldn't have expected someone with your outfit to be a little nervous about being on the air.

Y: I’m not exactly a people person. The lights and the microphone… It's a bit much.

> Not to worry, I’ll take it nice and easy tonight. Oh, and, for the sake of the listeners, our guest tonight showed up wearing a cloak and an itty bitty bikini and nothing else.

Y: You did say to wear something comfortable.

> Like pajamas, girl! Not that I’m complaining. Anyway, back to business. What do you do for work?

Y: Technically I’m unemployed.

> You’ve got a ruby bigger than my nose around your neck, you must do something for money? A lucrative hobby maybe?

Y: Well, I do collect comic books. Nothing rare or graded though.

> Dodging the question I see. Don't tell me it's selling spicy pics or something.

Y: Fine. I’m a vigilante. I beat up criminals and then I… liberate some of their illicit funds.

> Sounds questionable legally and ethically.

Y: You think so? I consider it a public service. I spend what I take so it goes back into the local economy.

> Hey, I wont judge. Is there a soundtrack for your late night patrols?

Y: I like cabaret music. Something… sad and sensual and nostalgic. Or jazz. Like a noir film.

> And how about your favorite food?

Y: It's hard to do better than a nice warm bread with butter and a bottle of Malbec.

> That feels like an appetizer. Are you the type who fills up on breadsticks before your meal arrives?

Y: nervous laugh Sometimes.

> Any special talents to help you take down the bad guys?

Y: I can turn into a bat.

> Hey now, I thought the goth thing was just a fun aesthetic, but are you saying you’re actually a vampire?

Y: That wouldn’t be the strangest thing you’ve seen around town, right?

> True enough, just curious. You have a favorite spot in the city?

Y: Outside the city. laughs. You know that little hamlet over the ridge, about 5 miles out?

> Oh yeah, it used to be its own town before it got lumped in with us. Lovely place. Do you live out there?

Y: No, I just like to visit.

> Got any pets?

Y: I’ve always wanted a cat. Maybe something with wings would be better though. Like a crow.

> What’s your home like?

Y: Um… about that…

> Oh dear, you have a place to stay, right?

Y: I actually have a hideout in town, but I can’t say where. Let’s just call it a secret base.

> Cool, cool. Very super hero coded. Anyone you’d want as a sidekick?

Y: Stealth-chan’s pretty cool. No doubt we’d make a great duo. I’d feel like her sidekick though, to be honest.

> How about a rival or nemesis?

Y: Hmmm. Maybe Vega? She’s just so… bright and bubbly. It's kind of exhausting just being around her sometimes. Don't tell her I said that though. Love you, V.

> Now that’s cute. We’ve been chatting up a storm and we’re low on time. Lightning round, coming up. Give me a big fear and a bigger dream.

Y: It's almost the same thing for me I think. I want to make a positive difference in the world. To be there for others, cause no one was there for me. So I’d be pretty scared of being unable to do that.

> That's kind of sad, isn't it? You're doing good now though, right?

Y: Yeah! I've got some good friends now.

> Love to hear it. What would you do on an ideal date?

Y: A late night carriage ride. The countryside or the city, doesn't matter. A full moon. Some fog. The works.

> Very Victorian of you. Any travel goals?

Y: New York City. It’s in so many comics I feel like I need to make a pilgrimage.

> Any spicy fantasies?

Y: I want to meet someone who can keep me busy all night. Like, even on the date. Playing footsie, sneaking little quickies, making moves in the carriage… especially in the carriage.

> Woah, that’s quite the game plan.

Y: You have to visualize it if you want it to happen.

> Oh, I’m visualizing. Any last words before our closing question?

Y: If the IRS is listening, and I know they are, don’t even think about it. I’m not paying taxes. You couldn't catch me anyway.

> laughs For legal reasons, I can’t endorse that. Ok, last one. Have you ever wished upon a star, and if so what did you wish for?

Y: I wished to be a cool and pretty hero, like in the comics.
