I want them to be like Alabama

Interview with Nancy Drew, a policeman in the past and a game maker in the future. Nancy is 39 years old and lives in California.

I know you are a very interesting apotheosis, you are the apotheosis of a victim, an embodiment of victimisation. Is that right?

Yes.

What else are you an apotheosis of?

Ah, hmm, I am an embodiment of a star.

Then being a victim must mean the same thing as being a star?

This is very moving... (pauses) Because I am a victim of many crimes. (pauses) I forgot that it means the same thing.

All people in the world are victims of hacking, and you are one of the most harmed persons in this respect, right?

Yes, but it's not only hacking. Although that itself is terrible. It's also money theft, and rapes, and murder attempts.

I'm very sorry. And you are the future maker of the original games known as Nancy Drew series. They all were stolen through time by thieves from the past who plagiarised them. 

Yes. Yes. They will one day pay me a lot of money for that.

Books even were created from them and lies were told that the books are very old. What is your general opinion about these plagiarisms?

Ah... (pauses) They are horrible, you must admit that.

Yes, that's true.

They are not playable, they are dull, they are boring, and they are nasty towards the players.

Your name has been used by plagiarists who claimed it is fictional. Are you planning on using your name inside the many games which you want to produce?

Yes. And I know that they thought, the thieves, that it is a fictional character, and I was normally alive, living already in the year from which they stole the games. And after the first two plagiatic versions were published, they finally learnt that I was a real person. And... they got scared. I know that it's the reason for some of the murder attempts. Anyway, they decided to never admit to public that I was real, that it's a real name, Nancy Drew. And I am planning to use this name, my real name, because I want the games to feel homemade and friendly. And there will be only real people inside my games. Obviously there's nothing wrong with that, only you need to have a consent of real people before you put them into an artwork, a commercial artwork, and never it is allowed to deny that real people are not real.

How many games do you want to create? Because I fear that there's gonna be a multitude of them.

A multitude is a good word, yes. I plan to never stop making them. That's why the thieves had so many materials, they stole possibly about a hundred of my games from future. So they could also make books and stuff.

How do you envision your future games?

Hmm, good question, because I want to make them with you.

Yes, I know, that's why this question is personally important to me, because we've never so far talked about these future games in detail. So what will the games be like? How do you envision them?

I... I think... Hmm, I want them to be like Alabama, like home sweet home, and... I want them to be modest adventures, humble adventures, I want them to be very positive psychologically.

And they will all be RPGs, right?

Yes, yes, and you... the players will be able to carry on a detective. So that... so that they could become very powerful in later games.

And they all will be detectivistic.

Yes. Always there will be a crime to solve. Yes.

What are some of the stories which you want to present in your games? Could you reveal some of your ideas?

Ah... There's a lot of things that interest me and I want them to be only real stories, documentary stories. Magical objects interest me very. Also magical places, they are very important. A crystal skull definitely will be one of game themes, also... also lost jewellery, magical rings. Dolls will be an important theme. These themes will appear more than once.

I see. You used to work in police...

Yes.

What exactly was your position?

Ha, I was a major and I worked in homicide department. In Los Angeles.

How do you remember your police work?

Well... (sighs) It was very interesting for the first three years. I was quickly made a major and my colleagues were very good, they were wonderful people. But then it changed. Many of my friends were fired, and crimes started being committed inside the police, and after two years of such a situation I resigned.

Were there any dangerous moments during your police years?

Quite a lot. I very often had to fight in close encounters, I had to do a lot of running... (laughs and smiles) Yeah.

Do you want to be a policeman again in the future?

I do. I do. Because things will change and police will be back again being... being honest and honorable, and I want to work in such police.

What do you want to do in the future mainly?

Ah, apart from games, I want to have a very peaceful life at home, but an adventurous life outside. I want to be a policeman and a cowboy.

Time travel technology is the tool used by criminals to rob you of your future games. Would you like to use the time travel technology yourself to visit other years?

I know I will. I know I will be living in the past, in prehistory. I want to buy a house there, and I want to study there at universities.

What do you think of the state of police nowadays?

They are nearing their end. They commit many crimes, they are completely deteriorated as an institution. So I think it will be easy to overthrow them and substitute them with honest people.

Good to hear that. All right, well, thank you for the interview.

Thank you very much.
