I'm sitting, again, at another shop in that same downtown of that same dying city. This time I'm eating frozen yogurt, and it's delicious. Just as I sit down, I see him; I recognize him right off the back. Kim is the only one of the actors in Star Force Gemini with any sort of real acting history. I wave him down, like a fan boy. He smiles and sits down at my small table.
"Hello." He says.
"Hi. How are you today?"
"I'm okay. So shall we begin?" He prompts.
"Sure sure! Were you going to get yogurt?" I ask, off the record.
"Yeah, in a little bit." He says.
"Alright." I say and set my Mp3 recorder on the table. "So how was it coming back for another season of Star Force Gemini?"
"It was fun, we got to travel this time. And even though we didn't get to go to SK, I still enjoyed it."
"Was it hard working in Greece?" I ask.
"A little bit. Most of us felt really out of place there, but we had translators so it wasn't so bad." He says with a smile.
"Is it true that your character, 김재민, does the most fighting in this season?" I ask.
"Yeah, it's true. The creator told me that he felt my character was under used in the last season. He actually even went as far as to say we were all under used, but as far as action goes, he felt 김재민 didn't shine, so he really challenged me with this new one."
"Right, so there's an evolution to all the characters?" I ask.
"Yeah, well for one thing; Ω isn't as unstable in this season as he was in the last one, he's more of a real person, not a caricature. C41212105 is more useful, overall, in this season..." I cut him off to ask.
"Does that mean he becomes an assassin?"
"I'm not at liberty to say." He pauses. "But back to what I was saying, **SuPeRfUcKiNgStAr** becomes a lead character in this season, like she did towards the end of the last season. And um, well, [Jestro] is a completely different character. I was really blown away by the complexities that each of these characters have in this new season."
"Right, so I hear there are a few love sub-plots in this season, is that true?" I ask.
"Yeah, for the most part. 김재민 however, doesn't get one until season 3."
"There's a season three!?" I ask, excited.
"Well, um..." He pauses. "Yeah, we're all signed into a three season contract, and plus a spin-off season."
"So Star Force Gemini: The C41212105 Chronicles was a series idea?"
"Yeah, Ryan thought it would be really funny. Also, he said it'd piss off the real Ω, which he loves to do, and that it would help tie into Guild for Hired Guns, a series that the real live C41212105 is writing."
"Right, so can you tell us anything more about season three?" I ask.
"Um, no I can't because, well, we haven't started working on it yet. The only thing I do know, is that everyone dies." He grins.
"Everyone dies!?" I ask horrified.
"Hahahahaha, you'll just have to wait and see!" Then he stands up and gets some yogurt, by this time I've noticed mine has started melting so I begin to eat it.
