#1 of Looking To The Stars (Archive)
God have mercy on my soul (if I even have one anymore after doing such a sin) for posting this nightmare of a ghost story. But... considering I actually got some fans of this mess, I decided... ya know what... why not one more time. So this time I'll actually TRY to complete this thing... maybe....... I don't know......... probably not but still. I'm still willing to give it another shot. So..... yeah~! Fans old and new, welcome back to the remakes of... LOOKING TO THE STARS!
......... Shoot me please.
Also, a BIG thank you to the sexy-as-hell Guardian Phoenix for the amazing LTTS icon that you can see below this message. Just... thank you! Thank you! Thank you~!

*the grey wolf known as Alec walks into the Studio center as he looks around the busy area, occasionally jumping, ducking, and dodging whatever gets in his way and vise-versa*
Alec: Damn it... I am never going to find that place in this nightmare.
Person: Hey! Kid!
Alec: Hmm?
Person: You're messing up the shot! Get out of the way!
Alec: Sorry! *runs out of the way then mumbles under his breath* Ya jackass. *looks at the note in his paw then looks around the area again* Where... oh! *smiles* After trying and trying, I finally got the job of a lifetime.
*Alec looks up at the studio number (69) then runs inside gleefully with his tail wagging rapidly*
Alec: Hello! Hello! *twitches his ears at all the busy people* Man, I hate Hollywood. Erm... Hey! I'm looking for the producer here! I'm the... the new interviewer!
*Everybody and everything suddenly stops abruptly and goes quiet, all eyes now on Alec*
Alec: .......... *gulps*
Producer: *opens the door to his room and waves at Alec* In here! In here!
Alec: *runs into the room and slams the door behind him* Why the hell was everyone looking at me like my rowboat was missing a couple paddles?
Producer: That's because it probably is.
Alec: I'm sorry?
Producer: *sits behind his desk* Have a seat Alec.
Alec: *nods to the producer then pulls up a chair and sits in front of the desk*
*after about 45 minutes of silence, aside from the producer shuffling some papers around and nitpicking with his necktie, he finally claps his paws together and looks at Alec*
Producer: So... how much money do you owe the mob?
Alec: Say what?
Producer: Erm... nothing. So... why take up this job?
Alec: Well... I desperately need the money so--
Producer: So you didn't whore out your body?
Alec: Wait, huh?!
Producer: Talking out loud is all. *sweat drop*
Alec: Uh... huh.... Anyway, I saw the request for a third interviewer and--
Producer: You decided to come over and get the job for some extra pocket change?
Alec: Well, yes sir. That's it exactly.
Producer: You poor, sick puppy.
Alec: Huh?
Producer: Well, if it's that kinky to you then sure. You got the job.
Alec: Kinky...? Wait, I got the job~?
Producer: Yep. Glad to have you aboard. *whispers under his breath: So that I don't have to do it.*
Alec: Wait, what did you just say just now?
Producer: *drops a ton of papers onto his deck and pushes them near Alec* Just sign all these papers three times and you get the job.
Alec: *looks at some of the papers* There's like three papers for health insurance. Just how bad ARE these interviews?
Producer: One's for physical, one's for mental, and the third is for everything else.
Alec: ... I... I get a credit card~? That is so awesome!
Producer: Got to pay for those medical bills somehow.
Alec: Medical bills?
Producer: Nevertheless, you'll be a gold member after three interviews anyway.
Alec: Wait... this one... this one involves my family!?
Producer: Don't even ask. We'll be here all day.
Alec: ... Why does this one say coffin insurance?
Producer: I threw that one in just for you.
Alec: ... *gulps* Erm... maybe I should go--
Producer: *pulls out a pistol and cocks it* Just sign the damn papers.
Alec: Y-Yessir!
*The Next Day*
Alec: *is walking into the studio, looking like a nervous wreak* I shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't have done this.
Producer: Hurry up, Alec!
Alec: Yes sir! And I must say, I am so glad that I have done this! *thinks to himself: God help me.*
Producer: Just get your ass in my office!
Alec: *dashes into the office and slams the door behind him* Sir! Please I'm begging you! Rip up that contract! I have seen the earlier episodes of this horror feast! Please... I'll even do a porno or... o-or sell my body to science or ANYTHING.
Producer: Too late. Until you survive three seasons, you're stuck with us.
Alec: No one survives the first one!
Producer: Isn't my problem now is it?
Alec: *whimpers* Please... don't do this...
Producer: Look. I'll be nice to you since you're pretty much begging to give me a good one under the desk right now.
Alec: What?
Producer: So I'll give you two professional interviewers that just finished interviews all characters from the X-Men series.
Alec: 'eesh.
Producer: *stands up and walks over to the door, before swinging it open wide* HEY! WE HAVE TWO LONELY WOMEN AND A BAG OF SCORCHIN HABANERO DORITOS IN HERE!! *quickly gets out of the way*
*without even a second warning, a dragon quickly bursts into the room while looking around the room*
Dragon: HEY!? You tricked me again!?
Producer: Sorry. Had to.
Alec: Wait, why did you--
Producer: This is Taiga. He's the one that sets up the appointments and makes sure no one loses their cool... he sucks at both those jobs.
Taiga: *huffs*
Producer: He also loves Doritos. None more so than Doritos® 3rd Degree Burn Scorchin' Habanero.

*SHAMELESS ATTEMPT AT ADVERTISEMENT*
Producer: Next... *looks outside the door* HEY! THERE'S TWO RICH LOOKING GUYS HERE LOOKING FOR A GOOD BANG!!
....
AND THEY HAVE STRAWBERRY JELLY!!
*again, without a second warning, a lioness bursts into the room, looking around the place before she looked at Taiga*
Lioness: .... Ah damn, we just got played again didn't we?
Taiga: Yes. Yes we have.
Producer: And this... is Kira. The only ACTUAL whore in and out of her shots.
Alec: ... Seriously?
Producer: Plus, she's amazing at distractions and is in charge of... of... of...... something.
Kira: I'm in charge of treasury jackass!
Alec: Seriously!?
Producer: Though for some reason, there's always $100 dollars missing from the amount every time.
Kira: ... *giggles*
Taiga: Anyway, who's the wolf?
Producer: The wolf here... is the new leader of your group.
Taiga: What?
Kira: What!?
Alec: Hell no!
Producer: *holds up Alec's contract*
Alec: .... Damn it!
Producer: So then~ you three better get to knowing each other. Cause until his contract expires, you three are stuck with each other.
All three: WHAT!?
Producer: See? Even the creator of his piece of shit has you three working together.
All three: The hell are you talking about?! *looks at each other* ......... *facepaw*
Producer: So then... see you all in a month?
Alec: Go to hell! I am not doing this! I'd rather die than work with these weirdos!
Producer: It's either that or I give your contract to be Rick Perry's bitch.
Alec: .... That's just not fair, dude.
Producer: Welcome to the team!
Taiga: *pats Alec's back rather roughly* You'll be fine~!
Kira: Yeah! And we'll all be living together in one house like one big, happy family!
Alec: Well... at least you have a house.
Kira: House...? Oh! I meant apartment.
Alec: ... What?
Kira: Actually, wait, no. More like a motel.
Alec: .... What? What?
Taiga: Yeah, it's more like a studio.
Alec: *mumbles* Help me...
Producer: What was that?
Alec: *salutes* Can't wait to get to work!
Me: They remade my nightmares!? I told you to cancel this thing!
Luna: Oh shut up.
Daichi: It was your idea.
Me: Does anyone even know who you two are!?
Luna: Well... not yet. But that's your fault now isn't it?
Me: ...
Daichi: That's what I thought.
Me: Anyway... all characters in this interview are copyrighted by me. That includes Alec the wolf, Taiga the dragon, and Kira the lioness... and the producer for some reason.
Daichi: All of the jokes, gags, sick puns, and dumb ideas were all thought up right off the bat. If any of these look stolen, overused, negative, or racist/sexist/etc in any way possible, it is (mostly) completely by accident and thus should be reported to us so that it may be changed and/or deleted... MAYBE.
Luna: Hope you enjoyed the interview and I hope you'll tune in again for another episode of... Looking To The Stars!
