"DOWN WITH SHOVELWARE! UP WITH GOODWILL GAMES!!" - A very angry pepper following behind Broccoli with a similar sign.
✏️[LONGISH POST AHEAD! Readmored to not clog the homepage]✏️
Unfortunately, Broccoli's been dealing with the peppers all day.
The first time? They weren't too disruptive. They kept to their own group and stayed quiet. Nobody really bat an eye, just a few new faces in the audience.
The second time? It became concerning. They had been flocked around Apple, who they at the very least let have his regular seat. He didn't seem all too bothered, as he just likes seeing new people in general. More people to show off that sick flip to. The attention from Apple inadvertently granted them a bit of volume. The signs went up.
The third time? It got bad. VERY bad. Broccoli had to fight through the crowd of them just to get to his seat when they decided they wanted to take over his regular row.
And now he was being directly targeted on the fourth.
Seems he can't even escape them walking OUTSIDE of the studio. He assumes they think he directly WORKS for Shovelware Studios, considering how often he attends the show, which couldn't be further from the actual case. No matter how much he tries to explain or reason, they're on his tail, simply refusing to listen.
Broccoli doesn't even know where these people CAME from. It as if they just APPEARED overnight, flooding almost any public space they can find if not the studio itself. They're apparently with these people called "Goodwill Games" trying to take down Shovelware, but he just cannot see the appeal. That pompous pepper is intentionally advertising dull and boring games with little effort put into them? No thanks. At least he has things to investigate here. He'd rather deal with a bunch of music enjoying fruits than deal with that pepper. Which isn't a big stretch, considering he's become impartial to the fruits over the last few years.
Surely this has become EXCESSIVE, right? They've circled around town countless times at this point.
Broccoli isn't sure how much longer he can deal with these protests.
But he silently walks along, hoping not to make the situation worse by pitching in with a response in retaliation- Something he likely won't hold off for long.
If they're following him, he can imagine they're likely doing this to anyone who frequently comes to the show as well. He hasn't seen Lemon in hours, Cantaloupe is probably pissed off to all hell, and Apple is likely being swept away by them like a flock of funhating vultures, considering he would be the one to respond to them. [Apple's likely feeding off of that extra attention as well, which is never a good thing.]
That's just his neighbors as well! The only other audience member Broccoli can see actually enjoying this is that orange that freaks him the hell out, and he'd rather not think about that guy to add to this mess.
There's the distinct pitter patter one would expect from a shovelware character approaching, growing closer with each passing second. Usually, one be looking for something sweet or a fruit when that sound is heard, but instead you've got Broccoli, notepad in hand. He bounds up, the eraser end of a pencil pointed towards them.
[🥦] "Excuse me! Are you available for an interview?"

The technician had been simply fixated on repairing one of the broken cameras after one of his fellow cast-members had broken it in order to use the stand in a physical fight- He could still feel the bruise on his head from intervening between two spicy friends of his.. The apologies were enough to him, he figured.
But upon hearing the pitter-patter for the first few seconds, his head perks up.. What the hell was that? He cranes his head backward. "Wha.." He gazes at his eye-level first, then blinks, then looks a bit downward- He was rather taller in his human form, to see.. Oh, another object. He takes a breath in, and sees the piece of broccoli gesturing toward him with the buttend of the pencil, and he took a second to hear him out.
..A what? He physically would've recoiled in shock if not for his usual resistance to random things that happened at all times.
"A.. An interview? You've got the wrong person, pal. This place's where hopes and dreams wither away.. You sure you meant to interview like.. A better studio or something?" He speaks bluntly, yet there is a slight tilt of his head, but he takes a moment, and sighs.
"Alright, alright.. Hold on."
He pauses, and..
"If it's an interview you want, I guess it's an interview you'll get. What's up?"
[🥦] "Great! I've got a few questions prepared, give me just a moment-"
He pauses, before unclipping his mess of papers, shuffling through a few of them before reorganizing them, clipping them back into the clipboard. Clearly he didn't come prepared, but this did seem to be more of a last minute thing- The application for the newspaper that a quota to meet, and he intended on doing so. He'd be writing a different article, but he wasn't getting too far in his research there.
[🥦] "Alright, let's get started."
Broccoli mumbles, pencil to paper, and ready to go. The vegetable scribbles something down preemptively before stopping. He's ready to go, or at least appears to be some semblance of prepared for this interview, thankfully. You'd assume he'd come prepared, but more often than not, he isn't.
He takes another moment, placing the pencil back down by his side before he speaks up again. He probably won't stop asking questions for a little while-
[🥦] "Firstly, might I ask when this whole operation began?"
[🥦] "I mean, I wouldn't call myself an enthusiast or anythi-"
[🍎] "LETS GET GOING!! The sooner we get there the more time we've got!!"
Apple seems a lot more excited about this than Broccoli does, but nonetheless, Apple's probably gonna drag him down to the creek anyways. Broccoli isn't too much of a water person anyways, it makes him look funny.
