Today Novels On The Run is stop number 8 on the
Losing Lila Blog UK & Australian Blog Tour
And with this special stop we have the pleasure of hosting a chat with none other than
Sassy mind reading fashionista SUKI
&
The Jack/Alex obsessed projector NATE
Welcome guys to Novels On The Run....
Suki and Nate, you’re both members of the
group of Psys, led by Demos, who are being hunted by the Unit. Suki you’re a
mind reader and Nate you can astrally project – what’s that like?
Nate: It’s crazy. Amazing. I can go
anywhere in the world, access all areas. Last week I went to a Justin Bieber
concert in Manila and got backstage. I was hiding out in his dressing room
watching him warm up. He was singing ‘Boyfriend’ right to me. Suki was really
jealous when I told her.
Suki: I’m so not jealous of you hanging out
with Justin Bieber. He didn’t even know you were there. Now if you’d been
hanging out with Katie Holmes and her divorce lawyers or with the hot one from
Game of Thrones, then I might be jealous.
Nate: She’s so jealous. I spend a lot of
time following Jack. Especially when he goes to the gym.
Suki: Yes, but I know what he’s
fantasizing about. And, sorry to disappoint, but it’s not you. Being a mind reader
has its upsides, even if a lot of the time I’m listening in on inanity.
Nate: It’s tiring. Being a psy is tiring.
Suki: Yes. It is.
I’m hearing a lot of talk about boys, what
qualities does your ideal man have to have?
Suki: Killer hotness…
Nate: Wrapped up in a uniform.
Suki: Yes, we like concealed weapons.
Nate: I can think of two people whose
concealed weapons we’d like to inspect.
Suki: What are you talking about Nate? You
already inspected them. Nate likes to spy on certain members of the Unit. One
day he’s going to get caught.
Both of you have crushes on Alex and Jack.
If push came to shove, and you could only pick one, who would you choose: Jack
or Alex?
Suki: We don’t like this game.
Nate: That’s like Sophie’s Choice. Evil
person.
Suki: I would play that game ‘kiss, sex,
marriage’ though. Come on, let’s play that instead! I would skip the kissing
and just have sex with Jack and marry Alex.
Nate: All three with both of them please.
Suki: We’re really pro same sex marriage.
Imagine walking Jack down the aisle. I could be your best man.
Who’s your favourite person, besides each
other, in Demos’s crew?
Suki: We’re all one happy family. There are
no favourites.
N: Though you’re Demos’s pet. You’re so the
teacher’s pet.
S: Demos isn’t a teacher. And I can’t help
it if I’m irresistible.
N: OK, so you’re the unelected mind control
leader’s pet.
What was it like growing up with those
superpowers of yours?
Nate: Well, it was my grandma who first
figured out what I was. Because she’s one of us too. And my dad was not happy.
He didn’t want me to be like him. But it’s genetic. They kept trying to wake me
up in the morning and I’d be flopping all over the bed because I wasn’t in my
body, I was up on the ceiling watching them. At first I thought I was dreaming
because it only happened when I was sleeping – I guess I was about four. And
then I started figuring out how to do it when I was awake. I’d sit in math
class and then go flying off to the movies or to the beach. I failed a lot of
classes in high school.
Suki: For me it was very different because
no one in my family has any power. I grew up in Tokyo. But there are so many
people all crowded together and there’s only so much I can take when it comes
to voices in my head and Hello Kitty so I came to LA to study English and
that’s where Demos found me.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Nate: I am reigning X-Box champion of the
Batmobile. I like hanging out back stage at gigs too.
Suki: shopping. I always wanted to be a
stylist. I’d make Rachel Zoe eat her wedge shoes. All the celebs would come to
me. (sigh) but for now I just have to make do with dressing all of the people
on the bus. Though Demos has put a limit on the amount of wardrobe space I can
take over. (whisper) He has control issues.
After you’ve kicked the Unit’s butt, what
plans do you have for the rest of your life?
S: Like I said, I’m going to be a stylist
one day to the stars. Or maybe I will be a designer. And maybe Nate could be
one of my assistants. And Jack and Alex could be my models.
Nate: Why can’t I be a model?
Suki: You’re too skinny. But you are cute.
Maybe you could model footwear or something. Or hats. Yes you could model hats.
I would create a brilliant hat range just for you to model.
Nate: I’m going to be too busy. I think
I’ll be a spy. A private investigator. I could make loads of money and I’d
never have to leave my front room. It would be sweet.
What’s the most naughty thing you’ve done
with your super power?
Suki: Nate spies on Jack and Alex naked all
the time.
Nate: Not all the
time. Only at the gym. I can’t get in their apartments or onto the base cos of
all the security. Suki is way worse than me. She maxes out her dad’s credit
card all the time and when he cut her allowance to punish her this one time she
went to a club in LA and listened in on (edit: name of star removed to protect
from being sued) what they were thinking and then she sold their secrets to TMZ.
Thank you both so much for the chat...enjoyable to say the least!
