Crew Interview


Below is a copy of the Original Brunswick Interview 12-29-11

Evan Carter-Thank you for having me here and allowing me to ask all of you questions. I find your story intriguing and I myself cannot wait to hear more and see what the future holds for The Brunswick Crew. So if you are all ready, I will start. My first question will be for Atticus.
Atticus, you left Brunswick for a while, what caused you to come back to your family home?

Atticus Payne -*Takes a seat at the big round table, leaning backwards then forwards on the back chair legs* Thanks Evan, it's good to be here. Well, let's see. I decided to come back home exactly because I had been away for a long time. See, I had lost myself into the dark arts for years, and then finally got out of it...not that it was easy – and I didn’t do it alone. That’s another story yet told though... I had a lot of memories that I was worried would trigger something ... *shrugs* I dunno, ya know, like make me go back where I came from and I didn’t want to jinx myself. One day though, I felt strong and I missed my family – it’s hard to be the only one alive out of so many...well, nobody in my family is still alive besides me and Kirr...that I know of.

Evan Carter- *nods as he listens to Atticus' answer.* Yes, I am sure we all would like to know how you got out of the dark arts. Maybe we can hit on that later. Speaking of which..after I finish asking my questions all the fans will be able to jump in on the thread and ask questions of their own. All the Brunswick Crew asks is that you all not post at once. *clears throat and leans forward looking at Rayven* You look positively glowing, pregnancy does you well. Now for my question for you.
You are not from Brunswick correct? What led you there?

 Rayven Payne - “No, I grew up in Oklahoma and one of my foster families brought me to Brunswick for vacation one year. Since then it was my goal to move back to the place that I felt called to me. At the time I didn’t know I was a witch as my powers developed late in life for some reason, and until I moved here did my powers come to life..so to speak..which I think Atticus had a role in that…” Glancing at Atticus she grabbed his hand and squeezed it, thankful to him for the life she now has.

Evan Carter- *chuckles* I am sure Atticus did have a role in that. *glances at Kirrus* Next question is for you.
I know you and Atticus met when young, what caused you to remain practicing the dark arts?

Kirrus Pars-  Looking around uncomfortably as he leans back in his chair at the table, cracking his neck before answering.”Atticus and I are now and were as close as brothers get. Brothers from another mother..and father I guess is the best way to put it. I was angry and I allowed that anger to sway rational thinking. I am not proud of it, but it’s the truth. I was mad that I had gotten involved in the dark arts, of the whole reason for it and then my boy Atti up and decided to get clear of it, so instead of doing as he urged, I practiced harder and learned more. It’s a vicious cycle…the more you learn the more power you get, the more you want. Sometimes getting what you want, will cure you of truly wanting it and other times… “ he glances over to Atti and Ray” it’s the best thing you can have. It’s truly fucking Epic ya know. I am just glad that I am getting clear, because it’s an effort every day, no matter how easy some of us make it look.” Taps knuckles with Atticus.

Evan Carter-Well Kirrus it's a good thing you have a great group of people to help you through it, and I personally am glad to see you get out of the dark arts. *turns towards Bevin* You look a little nervous..you okay? *winks* Alright, your question is next.
Bevin, you are Rayven’s sister. Can you tell us a little about it and how was it finding out you had a sister?

Bevin Forsythe -Great she thinks, now she was more nervous. She scans the room for a bucket in case, seeing one, she turns back to Evan finally letting his question sink in. "About being her sister?" She pauses to think for a second. "Honestly, I was stunned. Imagine going in trying to help a person from what could only be described as torture with someone you believed was your new found friend then finding out that they were all your sisters." She shook her head. "Big stuff to swallow in the midst of a lunatic father trying to ..ummm, we never really figured out what the bastard wanted with us." Shrugs. "Rayven has been so good to me..did finding out change anything for me?" She nods. "Yea, it did. Made me understand why I felt the way I did around her. She was a part of me just like Brie." She smiles softly.

Evan Carter- *gets up and takes the bucket to Bevin just to be safe. Then sits back down grinning* I can imagine you were stunned. Now to the next sister. *looks towards Gabriella aka Brie.*
Gabriella, you were not from the States originally, what’s it been like transplanting to Brunswick and finding family you didn’t expect?

Atticus Payne- *Lays on the table while Gabriella answers Evan eyeing the donuts in front of him. Looks around and stretches, grabbing the Boston Creme before anyone else can.*

Rayven Payne- *eyes the Bostom Creme Atticus snatched, then reaches over pulling it out of his hand watching as the creme squirts out and lands on his shirt. Stuffs it in my mouth before he can get it back* What? I'm the pregnant one!

Kirrus Pars- *Sits back wishing he had a beer and stretches out his legs, wishing even more he could smoke, but no way was that going down with the preggo Little Witch around*

Gabriella Soarez -~smiles uncomfortably and shifts in the chair~ It is very different here. I guess you could say a culture shock living in the states. Definitly colder. But I have had help settling in. I'm going to learn to drive soon. ~ smiles again~ kfinding out I had sisters was a shock as well, I was raised an only child. But it has turned out to be a blessing.

Evan Carter- Well Brie, I am sure your sisters are thankful to have you living here in Brunswick. *smiles*
Alright folks, going to change this up a bit that way we can make the interview go a little quicker so the fans have their chance to ask some questions. These next set of questions will be for Chloe.
You come from Paris, France what brought you to the states and Brunswick specifically?
You and Bevin have been long time friends, how does it feel to get re-acquainted with her again?
You have had your time practicing the dark arts, how hard is it for you to not go around taking power from others?
What do you plan on doing while you are living in Brunswick? Do you work? If not are you planning to?

Chloe Molyneux-  After numerous boarding schools in Paris and then London (yes I come from one of those fucked up rich families where everyone is kind of crazy), I went to Trinity College in Dublin for university. Then I decided I wanted to experience what NYC had to offer. NYC appealed to me. I liked the hodge-podge mix of people. The chaos of it all. Then I met someone. You know the story. Girl meets Boy and falls head over heels in love. Boy is into dark arts and lures Girl into being bad. Girl’s heart is broken. Girl fantasizes about killing Boy in a variety of painful ways. In all seriousness, I thought this man loved me (yah, I know, stupid moi). When I finally pulled away from him, I left the states and went home to my grand-mère. She saved my life in a sense. I could not have pulled away without her help. I felt it would be best if I moved and found a place to start over. Oddly enough, I took an online quiz to find out what places would fit me. I decided maybe I should find a smaller place this time. The quiz gave me five towns, one of which was Brunswick. So here I am and the fact that I found my friend Bevin again….well that was icing on the cake so to speak.
As to getting reacquainted with Bevin again, it is like finding your favorite tee shirt that you thought you lost. It fits perfectly and you are so glad you found it again. With Bevin, she knows me and loves me for me…..faults and all. She likes me even though I am a complete ogre if forced to be up before 11 am, doesn’t mind the fact that I am a bad driver (I’m French have you seen my people drive?) and can park worth shit and she accepts that I love eating dessert first. I am very thankful to have her back in my life. She is the only one who calls me on my bullshit. I respect that about her. She is insane fun to be around and she is the kindest person I know.
It takes, um…effort not to steal magic. When I am stressed it is a struggle like you wouldn’t believe. If you’ve never practiced the dark arts, you can’t really know the powerful appeal it can have. The way it can call to you. It will whisper your name like a lover, but there is a price…..there is always a price. I learned the hard way.
Hmm…what do I plan on doing in Brunswick? Besides shaking things up? *looks at Kirrus* Don’t even think about making a comment. *looks back at Evan and gives him a beatific smile* I write a line of graphic novels and am also an artist. I just decided to buy the place next the Witch’s Brew and open a gallery. I’ll be honest. I’m rich. I don’t have to work. However, I love being creative and need a creative outlet. I can’t imagine not doing some kind of creative work.

Evan Carter -*smiles at Chloe* Seems you have been around the world.

The next set of questions if for the new comer Crystal.
You seem to have just meet these folks Crystal. What brought you to them?
How do you see them affecting your life here in Brunswick?
Where do you see your future going?

Crystal Sykes-  *looking over at Kirrus, Rayven, and Atticus and trying to compose myself so I don't look like a fool* Well, *pointing at Kirrus Pars* In a way it's his fault. He kind of caught me off guard one night out on the streets. *peeking at Kirrus again* Said a bunch of stuff about trying to do a good deed. *not wanting to give over to much information, cleared my throat* He stuffed a bunch of money in my hoodie and an invitation to a Christmas dinner. So I guess you could say Christmas brought me to them, by way of Kirrus playing St. Nick.
They have already affected my life in a major way. *pointing at her clothes* Thanks to them, I'm warm for the first time in a long time. As to anything else, they just keep surprising me time after time. Don't know yet where that will lead, *shaking my head* but it might be interesting to find out. *looking over at the three people that had already made a big impression* They are really different from the usual for me.
Music is where I see my future. It has never deserted me, and always seems to be in my head to keep me company. That guitar you see over there is my best friend. *smiles a bit* It has been solid. Does that answer the questions okay? *raises her chin to show she had it covered as far as she was concerned for now*

Evan Carter -*looks to the white owl with the blue eyes, thinking this is a first. Takes a deep breath and starts asking questions.*
Since we have only just met you , what's one thing you think we should know about your character?
You have come to Brunswick obviously your intentions are with Bevin...are they honorable?
What or Who brought you to Brunswick? Are you working alone?
Will your character be someone that the fans will love or hate..maybe a little bit of both?

Madoc Coyle- Flies in from the window and perches on the mantle staring at the interviewer with unblinking blue eyes. One thing you should know about an enigma? He reaches out and touches Evan's mind. "For now the only thing you need to know is I always get what I want."
Cocks his head, talons tightening on the mantle. He wasn't going to discuss his business with Bevin with anyone. Yawns and moves on to a question that won't jeopardize his end game here in Brunswick.
Only the next one's pretty ridiculous. He lifts one wing then the other and holds Evan's gaze. Speaks through the mental connection. "These brought me here. As for working alone... I'm a one Warlock army. I learned awhile back you can't depend on anyone but yourself."
Steps back a few bird paces. Love? What a joke. "I can't speak for them but I tend to rub folks the wrong way. We shall see."

Evan Carter -*shakes his head wondering what just happened*
Alright now back to Atticus. *nods towards the Warlock before asking questions*
How long did you practice the dark arts and do you still need to fight it on a daily basis?
You mentioned before that you didn't think you could love someone after the Becky ordeal. Then a certain Witch walked into your world and you seem head over heels. What changed?
We know you and Kirrus go way back, you always thought of him as family but how did it feel when the two of you found out that you were really blood related?
So daddy to be...are you ready for the task at hand?
Last and not least...How old are you...really?

Atticus Payne- How long did I fight the dark arts and do I fight it on the daily? Well, I will always fight it, it is a choice that leaves its mark forever...but it isn’t always a bad struggle no. Usually, like other addictions, once you have stopped for a while you go most days without thinking about it – then there are those moments that feel as though you only just now stopped – those moments can be really bad. Honestly, since Ray has come into my life and Kirr is back and fighting the same fight...though he only stopped several months or so ago, it’s been better...those moments I mean...they don’t last so long.
About Becky and then falling for Ray...what changed? I did. Because of Ray, something in my changed...it’s hard to explain but I felt like I was on pause and not really alive until I saw her. Yeah – for real – first time I saw her, talked to her, there was something that started stirring...*huge grin* and the rest, as they say, is history...
How did I feel about really being blood related to Kirr? Really? I felt like I should have found out he was actually my brother. *laughing* For real though it just felt like “of course we are” ya know, I dunno maybe a part of me already knew we had a connection that went deeper than best friends. Course, even if we weren’t – ya know... *looks down at hands and over at Kirr* yeah...
Ready to be a dad well...Ah hell *leans way back in his chair and rubs face with hands* Is anyone ever ready? Well, let’s put it this way, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. She’s...well she’s a blessing, a miracle and I have no doubt raising a child... even mine and Ray’s child... well it’s always a challenge right? I’m sure we’ll be taking a lot of pictures to commemorate each uhhh moment. *huge grin – looks over to Ray knowingly*
My age...how old do I look? *laughs* just kidding. Well... I was born September 17 of 1813....in a little more than a year that’ll be ..... *counts on fingers* old as dirt.

Evan Carter-Thanks for answering Atticus, now for your better half. *smirks then nods towards Rayven*
You grew up in Foster homes with no real family, now that you have family surrounding you and sisters you never knew existed, how do you feel about having a instant family so to speak?
It was once mentioned that you weren't able to have kids, but here you are pregnant and due any day now, what happened?
Did you know that Atticus was your soul mate when you first met?
Your powers seem all over the place, from healing to fire..which one do you find to be the most important?
How scared are you about not knowing what to expect from Wynter's powers?


Rayven Payne -“I couldn’t be happier having the family I have now. I never really had anyone while growing up that I could actually lean on. Then once I moved to Brunswick and met Atticus that all seemed to change. He was the first person I really ever let get close to me, know the real me. I thought my life was complete with just having him there, which I would have been perfectly happy with just him. But then a badass Warlock from his past came into the picture…tried to kill me and strip me of my powers, in the end we all worked out our “differences” and now he is like a brother to me. Then I found out I had sisters I knew nothing about, and it was one of the most unbelievable but amazing feelings in the world.”
 “Hmmm, what happened? I had amazing magic induced sex with this amazing sexy as hell Warlock that had super sperm.” She laughed and shook her head. “Even though what I just said is all true, there is more to it than that. One of my powers is healing, and not only did I heal others but in the process I ended up healing myself from a childhood injury that took away my chances for having children. The pregnancy was a complete shock to myself and Atticus, but we are both excited and couldn’t be happier about having a baby.” She placed her hand on her swollen belly and smiled.
 “Yes..yes I did…not.” She looked over at Atticus and laughed. “I didn’t really know what to think that day he walked into the book store I was working at. My first thought was something along the lines of “Holy fuck that tattooed man is hot.” Then he touched me and it was like small lightening strikes where our skin touched. Then the “needing” went into full force, I ended up just staying at the manor so he could keep me “safe” and I used him for the most incredible sex I have ever had…and lots of it. But while I was there I realized that I enjoyed spending time with him –and no just not the sexual way- I also realized that with everything else going on in our lives, that I didn’t want to see any harm come his way. During that time, I ended up falling for him and falling hard. I got to know the real man behind the tough Warlock persona. Don’t get me wrong, he is still a badass when he has to be, and the only time I really see it come out is if someone fucks with his family. I love everything about him, and I might not have known he was my soul mate when we first met, but I sure the hell know he is now.” Leaning over she placed a kiss to his lips and whispered. “I love you.”
 “I think all three of my powers are very important, but if I had to give up the others and only keep one, it would be healing. It has helped more than the other two, and I hate seeing anyone in pain, so if I can fix the problem I want to try. Even though it seems like my fire magic is the one that causes most of the pain, I guess it’s a good thing I can heal those I accidently hurt. Maybe there is a reason why I have both of them..kind of one in the same?” She looked at Atticus and Kirrus with her eyes narrowed thinking they better not even mutter a response to that.
 “I am scared shitless to be honest! I think any new mom would be scared of having a baby, but then you add magic to it and it becomes even more terrifying. Especially when your unborn baby knows more about her magic than you do. But as much as I am scared, I am just as excited. This will definitely be a learning experience for all of us. I cannot wait to hold our tiny baby witch in my arms and know that she is safe and happy. She is definitely our miracle baby, and no matter what she throws our way or hell no matter where she might throw us, we will always love her unconditionally and make sure she will know she is loved.” She placed both hands on her belly and gently ran her hands over it. “She is our blessing….one we could never be more thankful for.”

Evan Carter- *smiles at Rayven then looks at Kirrus*
Your coming back to Brunswick, what sparked that?
After all that time, why the change of heart? Why make a change for the better?
We learned you and Atticus are truly related, cousins I believe. How did that come about?
What are your plans now that you have family and friends? What do you plan to do with your self

Kirrus Pars- “Why make a change for the better?” He shifted again, sitting upright and resting his heavily tattooed forearms on the table in front of him. “I was miserable with myself, with my life. Power is great, hell you can do just about anything, but everyone is always after it, there’s never enough and at some point you find yourself beyond fucking … damn my bad Mr Carter…. you find yourself alone and no happier. I spent the better part of 175 years being that way. I truthfully just figured death was about the only escape I would have when I worked to save Rayven instead of harming her, until Atticus offered to help me to get control over the darkness.”
 “Uh..having family and friends….you think you know your own family right? Not in my case or hell Atti’s either. When Atti’s cousin Edmund showed up back a while ago, when we uh..dealt with him, our way, Ed’s father, Attis Uncle, made a point of telling me, much to his delight and subsequent death, that he was my real father. So tada….instead of just being as close as brothers, we are in fact blood cousins though we will always be brothers. It’s just how it is.”
 “I Haven’t had much time for myself and after 175 years roughly of nothing but myself, given I am old as dirt…”smirks over at Atticus” …I don’t miss it too much. I plan to be there for Atti and Ray and Wynter..” turns his head and raises his hand to hide his mouth “though I don’t think Rayvens real pleased with my potential babysitting skills yet.” Lowers his hand and laughs” And to help make sure that Bevin and Gabriella and Rayven stay safe. Its not easy being a Witch or a Warlock, seems like there’s always someone or something that comes calling and not in the good way. In the mean time , I am thinking about starting up guitar lessons possibly, for those interested in learning…if I can muster the patience to deal with the public in general. We will see.

Evan Carter Thanks Kirrus- *looks at the nervous sister* Now you Bevin Forsythe
Now has living in Brunswick been?
Do you feel like you have a real family here now?
Besides Harmony, what other interests do you have?

Bevin Forsythe- Bevin scrunches her nose at the question. "I wasn't sure I was going to like it here. I am a city girl at heart...Loved New York. I thought I was nuts from being out here but...yea, it really has turned out to be, something else. You could say." She looks around at the people in the room with her. "I found myself in Brunswick."
 She nervously bit on the inside of her cheek before answering the next question. "I felt that way before I knew we were blood. Their acceptance of me." She shook her head. "It was just something I had never known before." She waves her hand dismissively. "Roman Catholic parents don't really take to kindly to the whole, surprise." Holds her hands up."I am a witch thing so well. They tried, my adoptive parents but, this here. It feels like what I thought I was missing my whole life."
Bevin smiles at the mention of her shop relaxing some crossing her leg gently kicking it back and forth. "For a long time, what I did there...You know, using the earth to heal or aid someone was all that mattered. It was like this crazy drive." She brought her fisted hand up by her heart. "But then once, I mastered it, I relaxed on that part and began to look into the other parts to my powers. Research. I love to read. Helps me to figure out whenever my dreams plague me which is always." She laughed, a little. "I really have been finding myself here so after my magic...I am learning how to be a sister..and Aunt. Yea. I have some work to do there if you haven't seen what I did to robo-babe. Not pretty." Bevin look over at Rayven putting her hand up to her mouth to block her view. "So not getting Aunt of the year award but," She lowers her hand. "that's life, right? A learning game."


Evan Carter- Thank you guys for taking time out of your busy schedules and answering questions. Now if the fans would like to ask questions. Please be sure to say the name of the person you are asking the question to. Have fun! (Brie will be answering the rest of her questions once the fans are finished with theirs)

Andee Lee Porter- Kirrus Pars? So, um you plan on stayin single? Or you got yaself a sweet somebody already?

Etienne Peltier- Bevin Forsythe..we know you like nature and animals..how do you feel about bears? *smirks*

Kirrus Pars- His chair legs hit the ground in a resounding thud as he sits back upright again with a smirk. "Nothing wrong with spending sometime seeing what's out there right? Some people know of the get go... "angles his head towards Atti and Ray "...others need a little time to find whats right. In the meantime....its all good times." waggles brows.

Andee Lee Porter- *smiles real big* thanks darlin woowee those ladies in Brunswick betta watch out.

Bevin Forsythe -Bevin sits up at the tall dreamy blonde questioning her. "Bbbbb...Bears?* Hold it together Bevin. "I like them just fine. I heard they have bbbb..big..claws.." She groans when she answers him covering her eyes cause she was sure she was gonna die from embarrassment.

Esperetta Danesti -Rayven Payne? So, is Alice Shaffer's family still in that house?

Rayven Payne- Hi Esperetta. *smiles* Yes, some of them decided to stay, which I am glad because Alice seems really happy to have her family around once again. We have a lot of work to do on Alice's family home, and have some plans for it in the future.
Elise Chase -For all the sisters of Rayven. Why don't all of you live in the manor with Rayven and Atticus, it's big I hear.

Bevin Forsythe-  "Hello Elise, Beautiful Ceremony the other night. Thanks again for inviting me. As for the living arrangements, I moved here and didn't know that I was her sister. Found my own place and just stayed. Gabriella was dealing with a bunch of stuff including our older sister who was taken over by the craziness of our father. That was Bella. She stayed with Ray and Brie with me. It kinda just stayed that way. Plus with Ray having all those ghosts. Kinda crowded in there. It is good to have our own space. Everyone needs that."

Jess Brady Retribution -Miss Chloe, I didn't understand part of what ya said before. I'm guessin' it's the French mumbo jumbo. I speak fluent bull shit but not French. *He tugs his Stetson as he realizes what he said.* Apologies about the cussin' Ma'am. That slipped out. Since you're from the big cities, how are ya adjustin' to living in a smaller place? Do ya ever think about movin' back? Is it easier resistin' the dark magic where you're livin' now?

Chloe Molyneux -*eyes widen (wow, cowboys are sexy....realizes she should not be thinking that)* Hello Jess.......well sometimes I do miss the hustle and bustle of the city. There is always something going on. However, I think for me, for now, I am better off here in Brunswick. It's really very charming in its own way. It reminds me of my grand-mère's country home. *gives him a smile*

Kennedy Kensington-Madoc- You seem so mysterious...Are you really that secretive or playing hard to get?

Medea PrincessMayhem Daimon -*runs in almost missing the interview* HEY!!! Got a question!!! *catches her breath* OK!! What are things we can expect in the upcoming future of the Brunswick Crew? Any good timbits you can reveal? Huh Huh Huh Atticus Payne???


Jess Brady Retribution-*He thinks he's goin' to have to get a translator pretty soon if she keeps throwin' in them French words.* Thank ya for answerin', Ma'am. 'Preciate it. I'm glad ya are likin' where ya are. Good luck on the stayin' away from the dark stuff. It's like the moth to the flame. Get too close, and your ass is goin'.. 'scuse me. Your butt will get burnt.

Madoc Coyle -Blinks. Then blinks some more trying to see more of this female. Pushes into her mind. "I don't have to play. I am hard... To get" Blue eyes flash wickedly.

Atticus Payne- Hmmm tidbits? Okay, let's see... well that house with Alice's family? Yeah. something's gonna go on there. Mine and Ray's little one? K, going to get big time interesting... Kirr, chachachachanges...he's got things coming even he doesn't know about. The sisters? shoot, they have so much going on it makes my head spin. I can tell you one of them is going to learn how to drive - better not ask ME to help with that one! *grins* Thanks Medea PrincessMayhem Daimon for asking and being here.

Atticus Payne Thank you Evan Carter for being here and asking great questions and thanks to everyone who has participated tonight in Epic-Fusion's first group interview. This is now officially.... THE END. Good night!

Gabriella Soarez- (These are my last three questions to answer)
You plan to attend school, what particular study are you looking into and how will that play into our future here in Brunswick?
Where do you see your future within your family and here in Brunswick?
Is Bevin a slave drive at Harmony being that she is your sister ?
~Shifts in chair again~ I'm getting my High School Diploma, then I was going to study Art. It is a passion I haven't been doing enough. I'm not sure how it will play into my future in Brunswick. I will just have to see if the people around here like my paintings and drawings and buy them. Maybe I could open my own art gallery. Time will tell. I have a habit of not planning too fr ahead or dreaming too big.

~Crosses legs, bouncing my foot~ My future within my family? Well, I plan on being a good sister. I'm still learning what that means, but I think we are all three learning. I cannot wait to be an Auntie. ~smiles~ Wynter is going to be a very blessed, very spoiled baby girl. But most importantly, she will be happy and loved by everyone around her.
~Laughs~ No, Bevin isn't a slave driver at Harmony. She generally lets be come and go as I please and do whatever I feel like doing that day, being it make jewelry or soaps or lotions and soon I may make teas. I like working for Bevin.
