ladypeacek tugs out her phone and preps it to film and record

ladypeacek: Okay, lady succubus. Ready to put it all out there?

Jessie_Love: Yes ma'am. Let's go.

ladypeacek: First of all, I will preface this by saying that Jessie and I have discussed siring and in effort to make some changes, she has offered to do this interview. So, the first thing I am going to ask you, is simply explain what it means to be a succubus, for those who don't know.

Jessie_Love: Well I can't speak for the rest of my kind. There are certainly other succubi within the city who might disagree with me on this. But for me at least, it means feeding on the sexually charged energy of others. Some might assume I feed on liquids or the souls of my, well let's just call them donors. But in truth it's the energy released during sex that I am able to take it. The stronger someone feels the more I feed.

ladypeacek: It's true, succubi aren't the only species that have traits that vary between individuals- like vampires frequently vary- between what they can and cannot feed on, sunlight, mirrors, etc. So moving along, being a succubi in a town like this is hard. Much like we start to fade without blood, get weak, unable to even throw a weapon, you are the same when you don't feed. However, sex donors are a little less available on the streets than blood donors.

ladypeacek: Do you have powers over others to force them to feel attraction to others?

ladypeacek: Or to yourself.

Jessie_Love: I can shapeshift. Change my body or parts of it to suit the needs of others. Say a person enjoys a skinny waist or bigger chest. I can mold my body to fit their desires and thus make them want me. But I don't do it often, I don't like to. I do it if I have to. However I can not manipulate the thoughts of others. I can't make two people desire each other. But what I can do is amplify an already existing lust.

ladypeacek: So, there have been accusations about your forcefulness toward others in getting some of your sexual needs met. How do you respond to that?

Jessie_Love: I won't deny it. In the past I have attempted to seduce those who didn't want me. Often for the challenge alone. It wasn't until the most recent two years that I finally started to see how much that was hurting me and others. There was a time that I didn't care who i hurt. But I was wrong. I don't deny what I did. I used to try to force others, I tried to use them. I don't try to use my maker as an excuse but I acted as she did. Now I want to be better than that.

ladypeacek: Okay, that brings us to another point. You've tried to make amends many times with many people and while in some cases, you don't hurt them again, specifically, you do continue the same kind of behaviors which makes them refuse to believe you can change. What's different now? Tell them why they should give you yet another chance?

Jessie_Love: Like I said before, I don't deny what I've done. I was a real brat. I was arrogant and hated the city for a long time. I used to think no one really gave me a chance but now I see that I never gave them a reason to. I don't blame a lot of people if they see this as another mistake. But I am learning to let go of my ego, my pride, my arrogance. I want to live in this city and hopefully start to do some good. So I don't plan to keep fighting with everyone. I know this will be hard but I'm here to try.

ladypeacek: Moving forward, how do you intend to sate your needs for the sexual energy?

Jessie_Love: The same way I have been for the past two years in this city. My own inner circle. Granted it's getting smaller with my old brother choosing, let's call it, different paths. But I have a few close friends that willing feed me. Plus the tavern is always perfect. And I don't even need to touch anyone there.

ladypeacek: So you can feed off of others, if close enough to them?

ladypeacek: That means these side rooms are like an endless supply! Does it at all hurt them, or do they even know it's happening?

Jessie_Love: It doesn't hurt. It's energy. All they feel is tired after. And I can feed on the arousal of others around me. That's why bars and clubs are get places to eat. So many little humans all hoping to get some, all looking at each other with lust in their eyes. All wanting the same thing.

ladypeacek: Do you have to SEE it, or can it be behind closed doors out of your sight?

Jessie_Love: The closer I am, the easier it is.

ladypeacek: Okay, so what about the fighting and attitude you tend to get. Even recently, you've struggled to restrain your temper when things aren't going your way. You apologize and people aren't yet ready to accept the apology, how do you intend to deal with it now?

Jessie_Love: I admit, I have an anger problem and a bad attitude. I also don't handle rejection well. But I knowledge the problem and I'm working to change it. I'm going to try to be more patient and more understanding. I did a lot of damage and not everyone will be willing to accept my help in fixing it. I can accept that. I have to.

ladypeacek: You did do well to restrain recently when you tried to be friendly and were rejected by my blunt childe Bash. I was surprised, I admit. So, I guess we've sorta told the city a little about your lifestyle, gone over some bad history and talked about some of your desired changes. I guess, the next is to ask if you are up to keeping yourself available for questions- hard ones, from the city?

Jessie_Love: I am. It's time to let the city see me as I am. No holding back. No more lies, no more rumors, no more if, ands or buts. I'm ready to show the city who I really am.

ladypeacek: This means being honest, and ready to not only admit some hard truths again and again, but allow people to have their say, harsh as it may be, and restrain yourself. I know even recently you've struggled with keeping yourself on the path of change, so are you prepared for this- knowing it will often be 2 steps forward, 10 steps back for a while?

Jessie_Love: Yes. Change it hard, painful but for me, ultimately necessary.

ladypeacek: Got it. Well, we will ALL be watching now, so, get your game face on.

ladypeacek: Thank you though for coming clean a lot about this.

Jessie_Love: Thank you for having me Pea. And for trusting me.

ladypeacek: Lets not go that far yet, Missy, but we're working on it.
