Heroic interview with Patrick Galloway supported by GAMER.ru and CBR
Let me introduce myself - I'm Magistr, working at FBMION (Federal Bureau of Magic and Occult Sciences). Our bureau is classified, and only those who possess magic can enter. Today, I received an order from management - to interview the renowned professor of occult sciences, Patrick Galloway. Without hesitation, I donned my teleportation ring and set off to find Patrick...
Name:
Patrick Galloway
Date of Birth:
1923
Current Age:
30 years, rejuvenation effect used
Marital Status:
Unmarried
Game:
Magistr: Hello, Patrick. May I interview you for FBMION?
Patrick: How unexpectedly you appeared, of course.
Magistr: I, along with many of your fans, am curious to know how your life story unfolded after defeating the King in Clive Barker's Undying?
Patrick: The battle with the King was very difficult; I spent all my mana and strength to defeat him. After the victory, I got into a boat and started to sail, but a storm arose, and I lost consciousness. I awoke in the FBMION building.
Magistr: So, our bureau saved you? I've never heard this story.
Patrick: Not only did they save me, but they also taught me new magic and sorcery techniques. Your leader is my old friend, which is why he sent you to learn about me. He is always busy saving lives.
Magistr: I see. Can you show me something interesting?
Patrick: Have you ever seen the summoning of dark matter?
Magistr: No, show me.
Patrick: *shows it*
Magistr: Amazing, will you teach me this magic?
Patrick: Here, take this diary; everything is described in it.
Magistr: Thank you. Can I ask you something? You were born in 1923 but look 30 years old. What’s the secret, do you use age-slowing or is there something else?
Patrick: Something else - I have completely stopped aging and regained my youth. Soon this will also be available for the best students of your school. There aren't many wizards in the world to be lost.
Magistr: Several decades ago, you were expelled from Ireland for a crime you didn't commit. Did you try to challenge this decision, and how is it now?
Patrick: Ah, it's a sad story. You get accused and expelled from your home country and can't do anything. Did I try to challenge the decision? I did, but who would listen to a still unknown guy back then? Now my reputation is restored, and I can visit Ireland whenever I want.
Magistr: I might be a bit curious, but what do you have in the neighboring room, protected by magic?
Patrick: All my weapons and scrolls are stored there. Moreover, without my consent, no one can enter.
Magistr: Can you show me?
Patrick: You? Alright, come in.
Magistr: So many interesting and powerful things... What's your favorite weapon?
Patrick: The phoenix amulet and the Celtic scythe.
Magistr: Yes, I remember your phrase:
At times, it feels like it itself draws me into battle - as if thirsting for another's pain and blood. It can heal my wounds in the heat of battle - all while draining my magical energy. I thought I had learned to fear nothing in this life... but there is something in the Celtic scythe that inspires an unexplainable horror.
Patrick: You haven't forgotten. *smiles*
Magistr: What kind of magic do you prefer?
Patrick: Of course, speed - I always use it when I'm in a hurry. A shield is indispensable when fighting dishonesty, and I also use lightning and flight. And I almost forgot, I recently learned a new scroll - Obedience, which is the highest hypnosis. You don’t even need to look a person in the eye; I recommend learning it. All of this is in the diary I gave you.
Magistr: When I have time, I will definitely. Let’s go back to the past one more time - besides the King, who else was difficult to fight?
Patrick: Against Ambrose Covenant, I remember I spent 35 medkits before realizing how to defeat him. By the way, I dealt with Lizbeth Covenant quickly, although she seems to be a strong opponent.
Magistr: There are rumors that if you often use the Gelziabara Stone, a large beast - the Guardian of Gelziabara - will appear. I know you used the stone frequently, but have you ever encountered it?
Patrick: It seems that’s just a rumor; I've never seen it.
Magistr: Have you had any hidden magic not accessible to your fans?
Patrick: Yes, there’s siren powder - an analog of a smoke grenade, a wizard’s eye - an analog of a portable camera, a lantern, a double - creating a clone, and invisibility.
Magistr: I know you currently live alone; have you tried to find your soulmate?
Patrick: After the curse with my family, it’s somehow... Although perhaps in the future.
Magistr: What do you think of advanced technologies? Do you have the internet?
Patrick: I think well of it; it's development. The internet? Where would we be without it nowadays? Of course, I have it.
Magistr: Then what are your favorite websites?
Patrick: GAMER.ru, Twitter.com, many favorites.
Magistr: Oh, GAMER.ru, you say? That's my favorite too :) What are your game preferences?
Patrick: BioShock, the Mass Effect series, the F.E.A.R. series, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Amnesia: The Dark Descent - these games fit my life more.
Magistr: If you were offered to act in a movie, would you agree? In what genre?
Patrick: I would gladly do so; I've dreamed of this for a long time. In the mysticism or fantasy genre.
Magistr: Tell us about your future plans.
Patrick: I need to study many scrolls and artifacts, expand cooperation with your company, and go abroad; I haven't had a vacation in a long time.
Magistr: Good luck then. You’re looking at the clock; are you in a hurry?
Patrick: As usual, business.
Magistr: Then I won’t keep you; what would you wish our readers?
Patrick: More positivity, joy, and may the monsters not bother you.
Magistr: Thank you for the interview.
