Hello and Welcome All to the interview of the Wonderful Kathana! In this month’s issue of Casefiles, we will press Kathana in hopes to see if perhaps she knows who killed Our Beloved Asmo… *shifty Eyes*

——

Pacing back and forth, novice skirt swishing slightly, Limi waited outside of Kathana’s Special Projects Manager Office. Sweat rolled down her face as stress racked her nerves at meeting such an esteemed member of Dragonmount, and the Amyrlin Emeritus no less. Hearing a rather pleasant sounding “Come in”, Limi stops her incessant pacing, takes a deep breath, and enters the office never retur– I mean… enters and takes a seat in front of the large cherry wood desk adorning the room. Chatting over some tea and mini sandwiches, the investigation interview got under way……

——-

Taking a small turkey sandwich, I rearrange my skirts to balance the small plate and note pad before beginning.

“Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule for us, we know you are a busy lady who does much to keep DM up and running. Now why don’t we start the questions? Tell me, do you have a favorite anniversary to celebrate?”

Taking a sip of her tea, she answered with a contemplative tone, “I suppose my wedding anniversary. I’m terrible at remembering dates, but my husband makes sure I know this one is coming and keeps my schedule clear.”

Nodding quickly and jotting it down, I press on. “Since your husband has to remind you of your anniversary, are you good at remembering any special or important days?”

She glances at what looks like an upside down desk calendar with a grimace on her face and says: “Me and the calendar aren’t usually on speaking terms, so no”.

Intrigued by the fact that there must be a certain date she doesn’t want to remember, I resist the urge to try and take a peak. Coughing and clear my throat, I try a different question. “So, since you have been with DM a while, what is your favorite past time on DM?”

She smiles at this and replies, “Currently, it’s lurking on the book discussion forums and getting an idea of what might be included in the WoT FAQ”.

Smiling back, I make a mental note to see what the facts on the killer of Asmodean were, before bouncing to the next question, “Now tell me, do you have one day do you wish people remembered more?” Looking around, what looks to be a little nervously, she pauses before answering me. “I really have no idea how to answer this one.”

Keeping my composure the best I can, I nod and try not to fidget from the billion other accusing questions burning to be asked. Instead, I take another sip of my tea and ask, “So, do you have a favorite thing you like to receive for remembrance? (I.e. getting a rose on your “such and such” every year, or some certain item every year)?” She points to and looks lovingly to an elegant vase on her desk and replies, “My husband is pretty good about surprising me with flowers for Valentines every year. It seems like I turn around and there are roses on the table that weren’t there before.” Pausing to think she adds, “The only other thing I can think of that qualifies would be that I make an effort to get my nails done before a convention. I find it very soothing. “

Trying not to mutter about how cool and calm this woman was, I bring up the next question I have jotted down. “If you could move a holiday to a different season of the year which would you move and why?”

She smiles and says, “Not a holiday per say, but I’d move Dragon*Con to a summer month so I’m not working the week before it. It would make my life so much easier.”

I take another sandwich while I peruse my list, and peg one that may give me another hint. “So, what days have special meaning for you?”

She promptly replies, “Fridays. Those are activity days at school, so I always have a good time. We played Quidditch this week.”

Trying to cover my grimace of disappointment, I try another way, “Are there any places have special meaning for you?” *cough-Caemlyn-cough*

She gives me a funny look before answering, “I feel a strong attachment to any hotel I’ve been in for a convention. The Hyatt Regency in Atlanta especially feels like a second home to me.”

I stifle a sigh and end the conversation on a happier note, “Alright, last question, what foods have special memories for you?”

A happy smile blossoms across her face and she says, “Chocolate pudding”.

Running out of question, I finish up the interview, and thank her again while giving her a curtsie and scurry off to finish my novice duties.

Well Folks, looks like the “obvious” suspect in Asmodean’s death has yet to be discovered… Stay tuned next month to find out more!
