Day of Hell In Cricket’s Life

Hey all! Cricket here!

So, public announcement, that I’ve done several times but if I put it here people may actually
read it. I am no longer controlling bugs! Look, I didn’t realise just how much that creeped
people out, and I’m sorry I did. I’ve switched that stuff out for some more flexible and adaptable
gear. Keeping the name though. I like Cricket.

Anyway, I went to another interview, this time with Deliverance and Loom. This one had
cameras, but also wasn’t live. CPAN’s “Day in the life of…” Series. Yes, I know everything from
CPAN’s channel is patriotism and such, but I don’t think CENTRAL would be happy if we went
off and did an interview on CrimeWAVE or Master/Peace. Still, it went… ok. I feel like the editor
is going to have a hard time with me, given all my stuttering and getting stalled. Though knowing
it wasn’t live Really helped.

Started out in Central, just some general interview stuff. Asked about before powers and such,
nothing interesting from me. Then we moved out to N12, where they asked us a few questions
about the city and stuff, all good things from us.

When we got to the HQ, they directly interviewed us, and asked a real key question - Why did
you become a hero? It took me a moment, but it’s because I want to make N12, and Hive in
general, safer. It’s a good feeling knowing that others can walk down the street safely, and it’s
because I made the street safer. I feel super worried that sounds kinda big headed and
egotistical, but it’s really just a nice feeling knowing I’m making the city just that little bit better.
That I can and will continue to make something of a difference, even if it’s only a little.

We all also had to guess what the others did in our downtime, which was kinda fun. Guess both
of them said I worked on my blog. (Big shock there, I do, but other stuff as well, like inventing.)

Next we went on patrol, and had a few more questions. Deliverance finally made a
recommendation that I felt was worth the price tag, and that’s Harries! (same place I
recommended.) It’s a little burger van on the edge of the district, a bit out the way but totally
worth it. Odd though, she said the Tofu Burgers were the best, but they only came out just after
the interview… Guess I’ll ‘grill’ her about it.

Finally we finished off at Russo's. Given I go there at least once a month, it was nice getting to
have some food for free from there (CENTRAL paid). Just some general chatting, confirming
what we’d guessed about each other. It was really just… casual. Nice. We don’t get to do stuff
like that often. Might try and see if we can do that more, to help forge the team-bond stronger.

Anyway, that’s all for now!

Cricket!
