Conversational Challenge
GAZETTE EXCLUSIVE
(PUBLISHERS NOTE: The Gazette's Stacie Landers was able to get an interview with Infama, the woman with strange powers who ravaged the city until she was stopped by Sinnamon. Ninety minutes later, Infama was spirited away by three women in an attack that left the city stunned. This interview was done as part of a feature story for Saturday's Gazette, but in light of yesterday's events, it is being printed here in its entirety.)
Even if she didn't have the ability to create objects seemingly out of thin air, the woman named Infama would stand out in any crowd. She stands six feet tall in her black leather boots, with a body that would put a centerfold model to shame.
Handcuffed, with two burly guards watching her every movement, her powers somehow curtailed, Infama still exudes an overwhelming sense of self-confidence.
SL: Thank you for agreeing to this interview.
INFAMA: It beats sitting around in the cell they won't let me have any playmates. Besides, I love the press. You're so easily manipulated.
SL: Er ah, fine. I assume "Infama" is a code name. Would you tell me your real name?
INFAMA: Sure. My name is Tracy Cleaver. And my dads name was Ward, and I can't remember my mom's name ...
SL: It wouldn't be June, would it?
INFAMA: Oh, so you knew my parents too? What an amazing coincidence!
SL: You're not going to tell me your real name, are you?
INFAMA: Very good. Say, you've got nice hair. Is that your natural color?
SL: Well ... maybe I gave it a little help.
INFAMA: You're all right. Ask me whatever you'd like.
SL: Okay. Where did you get that amazing power of yours?
INFAMA: I suppose I was born with them. My dad was a prominent scientist and quite the inventor. One day, he discovered that the planet was unstable and ready to blow. So he popped me into a rocket ship and launched it just as everything came tumbling down. I landed here on earth, and when I got out of the ship, I had powers beyond those of normal chicks.
SL: Wait ... you're saying you're an alien?
INFAMA: Of course. You think earth women are stacked like this?
SL: (expletive deleted) ... Fine, if you want to play it this way: I just assumed they were implants.
INFAMA: PLEASE! Totally natural. Mind you, I used to be a flat-chested little nerdette Then one day, I was bitten by a radioactive watermelon ...
SL: Excuse me, but aren't you going to be serious about anything?
INFAMA: Well ... what's the point of talking about my powers if I can't even show them to you? Now, if someone would loosen this piece of metal, then you'd REALLY have something to write about.
Hey, are you getting pale on me? I'm not scaring you, am I?
SL: You can be a very intimidating person. You hurt a lot of people while on your rampage why did you do those things?
Infama’s answer to this and other questions can be read in Part Two.
