the unusual suspects: mirus jr. kajicube
PLUSH-POLICE REPORT #070807
PERP: Mirus Jr.
GUARDIAN (Interviewee): Dave Quiles (Outta My Mind Creations)
DETECTIVE TOYSREVIL: state for the record, what did your KajiCube do, to end up in the plush-police line-up...
DQ: He called the police chief’s mom ugly when she was looking at her reflection in his mask…in retrospect, that was not the proper thing to do, but he’d do it again - he’s a rebel!
TRE: "rebel", eh? we'll see how he rebels in the lockup! /// CLICK TO CONTINUE
TRE: please state what your KajiCube is accused of...
DQ: Slander and biting of an official (the biting he did do, but a good lawyer should be able to drop that charge down to nibbling which is a misdemeanor in Florida).
TRE: aaahhhh, a "biter", eh? what did your KajiCube say in the plush-police statement again?
DQ: He spoke his statement as English haiku-
The truth will be told
While gazing in mirrored face.
Your mom is fugly.
TRE: an educated kajicube eh? pity he didn't think twice before committing the crime! describe your KajiCube's character...
DQ: Mirus Jr. is a fluttery creature with bipolar tendencies. He’s really slick but will pass himself off as innocent just to keep people wondering. He shaved off his fur and wears a vinyl suit because he thinks it looks cool and feels nice on his bare skin. Ahhhh. Most of all he wants people to see a bit of themselves in him so he has a mirror prominently displayed over his face.
TRE: why the name "Mirus Jr."?
DQ: It’s the name that his parents, gave him…although for a few months, they were considering “Reflector,” but decided against it because everyone is naming their children either Michael, David, or Reflector nowadays.
But truly, Mirus Jr. is a plush version of the first figure I sculpted and cast early last year named Mirus. He was published in Dot Dot Dash along with other designer figures. I simplified him for this version and thought the Jr. suffix would be appropriate because he takes after his original plastic pop. The word ‘mirus’ is latin for wonderful and astonishing and also is a root for the English word ‘mirror.’
TRE: how did the KajiCubes come about?
DQ: While working in our space-age studio that orbits the earth, Nakanari had discovered a furry cube-shaped creature that had somehow burrowed into the outer hull and made our station its home. He approached the strange animal and found it to be friendly to him. We then took blood samples as all artist scientists would do and I suggested that each of us should take a turn making a clone. The original that Tony found had no legs (which was a wonder on how it made its way onboard) but under my proposition, little legs were genetically attached via a proprietary process called legular extremity generation (L.E.G.). We each manipulated the DNA in a different way and the Kaji Cube family was born.
TRE: any future plans for Mirus Jr. and the rest of the KajiCubes?
DQ: We really should ask them what their future plans are…I know for a fact that Mirus, Jr. would like to travel to see the wonders the world holds. He also would like to find a Mirette, fall in love, and look into her face to view near infinity.
TRE: why plush?
DQ: Soft and cushy- easy to convince that they are nice and then can get in bed with you and steal all your money. That’s the way Kaji Cubes roll! (Same way as groupies.)
TRE: describe your role in Agi-Agi
DQ: In Agi Agi, I would consider myself director, as well as lead scientist of biochemical testing. I am a dremel and CorelDraw expert and do most of the sculpting of the pieces. I’m have access to certain pieces of laseriffic machinery and printing, so the rest of the team ends up coming to me to do a lot of the production when it comes to plastic, acrylic, stencils, and prints. I have secret methods, secret weapons, and Secret deodorant- strong enough for a man, yet pH balanced for the police chief’s fugly mom.
DETECTIVE TOYSREVIL: thank you for your time in coming down to the station, Mr.Quiles ... im afraid Mirus Jr has to remain in the lockup until the investigation is complete ... meanwhile, please share with us; Who Is DAVE QUILES?
DAVE QUILES: I am a creative supergenius by day while balancing a life as an interpreter of ancient Atlantean language and private dancer at night. You gotta have a way to fund toy projects!
Honestly, though, I do have an incredible amount of personal projects at all times which range from children’s books to animation to furniture and lighting designs. I constantly am seeking ways to reinvent common things in new and kinetic ways. My character design is mostly based on mythology, folklore and robots, but my mind is random so you never know what’s going to pop in there. Pop! Outta My Mind Creations is my personal company for all the other projects that I’m working on. We’ve got a lot of things in store for the fans (provided that we obtain some fans first!), so be prepared!
