Mousie: Because I am very short and going up against three bondage queens and their cheerleader friend would be suicide! So I make sure I’m in my phone booth pretty quickly.
2. What are the other Animamates like to work with?
Mousie: Luckily, I work alone, so I am my own free agent most of the time – but I would say Siren is fairly nice, Crow can get a little tetchy, but she’s OK… And as for Nyanko, I don’t get close enough to find out!
3. What about that Kayama Yuiji fiasco a while back? He didn’t seem attracted to you at all… How do you feel about that?
Mousie: *Pouts* Look, just because he refused my advances, called me a damned monster and tried to kill me DOESN’T mean there was no attraction there! Still, he is out of my system, and from now on, I will only go for realistic targets. Now, if only I could decide between Kunzite and Dilandau…
4. Do your bracelets annoy you sometimes?
Mousie: They’re under my gloves most of the time, so I’m not really aware of them… However, they are very hard to explain in the swimming pool, or at the airport. Also, the skin under them can get very dry… But I wouldn’t recommend taking them off to put moisturizer on- Such was the sad fate of lesser-known Animamate Sailor Plywood Sheep. *Hangs head*
5. If you could do it all again, who would you target instead?
Mousie: Someone with a True Starseed, dummy! Why do you think I’m here in the first place??
6. True Starseeds are sometimes called “Sailor Crystals”, and were all taken from Sailor Senshi. Weren’t you given a tiny clue about their whereabouts when actual Sailor Soldiers turned up?
Mousie: Urm… *makes incredibly fakey “ping” sound* Oooh, my muffins are done! Later! *runs off*
7. *After catching up with Mousie and offering her a bribe to stay* What is the most annoying aspect of your job?
Mousie: The death. Definitely the death. Apart from that, to become an Animamate, you have to have no self respect whatsoever. You get laughed at by your colleagues, you get kicked around, and you can’t carry out your mission without the risk of someone throwing yarn at you. Oh, and the vacation time is lousy!
8. What is your message to anyone considering becoming an anime character?
Mousie: *Turns to face camera* Kids, anime villainy is not all fun and games. You may think it’s cool at first to terrorize members of the public with your unearthly powers, but sooner or later you’ll end up like me… dead, (for a while at least) under appreciated, and without an Image Single to my name. *Jabs finger at camera* So DON’T DO IT!
9. Uh, yeah. How do you feel when you see all the shrines dedicated to you on the Net?
Mousie: It gives me a warm, squishy feeling to know that there are people out there who love me enough! Thanks, you guys! I love you all – um, except for that weird Mouse Mania girl- I had to withdraw my approval from her site because it was so demented.
10. O_o; HEY! Um, and finally, my last question- the greatest mystery of all- what is with Galaxia’s outfit?
Mousie: Don’t ask me!!!!
Well, that about wraps it up for the Top Ten Mousie Mysteries. I hope your quandaries have been sated- I know mine have. If you have any other questions for this section please email it to Clairefairy@excite.com. Thank you!
