Each competitor is tasked to complete each section below with a formatted response as this will be used for the introduction portion of Crownstrial. We have left the interviewer vague to provide a lot of room for each member to expand as much as they like for each section. Place your character directly in the situation below and react accordingly as we want all characters to remain in-character throughout Crownstrial.
Question 1. The interviewer shuffles through their bag before crossing one leg over the other once they have found exactly what they were looking for. They seem to show little regard for your time and could careless how long it takes to get the interview started. You could be on a tight schedule, but it would appear that you will likely run late the rest of the day at the rate the interview is going. They glance up with the slightest smile on their face before looking back towards the note cards in their hands. Again — Time is a concept they have no intention of comprehending at this moment, so when they finally clear their throat, there could be a bit annoyance in your answers given the fact you have every right to. “ Could you introduce yourself to the camera? “ That is all they ask from you. They could have done so sooner, but they go back to their note cards with little direction when to start. They glance up again and wave a hand as if to signal some type of response on your end with a single finger pointing towards the camera. A red light soon appears to show that it has began recording.
Question 2 & 3. You have barely finished your sentence when the interviewer shoots another question out without regards if you had anything else to add. “ Why are you doing Crownstrial? “ The question is simple enough that it should be brief and easy to answer with honesty being the best policy in this moment. However, the interviewer tilts their head to the side to show that their is a brief moment of disbelief. “ Are your words true? Do you mean what you say? Can we trust you? “ The heaviness of the interview becoming rather apparent as you could swear that there is a smirk on the edge of the interviewers lip before they blankly stare towards you ; the red lip from the camera is still flashing at you. This is the moment where reality sets in, and you can feel the weight of country’s eyes staring at you. They may not see this at this very moment, but you swear that you feel as if this is a live stream to the world. You give what you perceive as your own truth and give your best expression to the camera.
Question 4. The longest sigh rolls from their interviewers lips as they quickly pause the recording once you’re done giving your answers. They get up and head for the door with little said in your direction. They are gone for a total of ten minutes before returning with food and water in hand ; something you could have desired if asked. “ Let us pick up where we left off. “ They take a bite from their food, browsing the note cards once more. They open their mouth to respond, but decide that finishing their bite is best. A hard swallow follows as note cards soon flood the floor as they slip from the interviewers lap. They glance up at you to see your response, expecting you to retrieve the note cards from the floor. The red light flashes on and another smile takes over the interviewer’s face. “ Do you agree with the ideals of our king? “ Every question seems to either set you up for a successful interview or a complete fail as everyone will be able to read your expression in this type of situation. You do not have seconds to react as the camera never stops recording. You make the best of the interview expecting more to come, but that seems to be the last question for you.
Question 5. The interviewer gives one last glance over cards that you can easily see that ask about your hobbies and passions, which would have painted you as relatable, but they stick with the harder ones. The light continues to flash for what seems like hours when the interviewer reviews a few things in their lap then points to the camera again. “ Now give a closing remark. Keep it short. I will cut whatever I do not like. “ There is a superiority in their tone as they look at you, and you could swear they are trying their best to get a reaction out of you. It is ultimately up to you on how you respond, but patience will get you far in moments like this as the red flashing light is a reminder of those that are to watch soon enough. You give your answer. The interviewer grabs their things with a quick push on the camera to cut it off. Anything that happens next is ultimately up to you as no one is watching.
