Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mindy stood in front of the camera as it the red light turned on, letting her know that they were live. After her epic adventure to get her boss and the Head of Talent Relations out of their office-prison, she had managed to clean herself up a good deal. The dust was brushed off her clothes, the chocolate wiped clear off her lips, and her makeup reapplied. Honestly, she looked as if she never climbed through a ventilation shaft and feasted on the catering tables. Her big, blue eyes were lock onto the camera, and she tried her best to smile through her nerves.

"L-ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time... was su-supposed to be Andrew Styles, b-but after prior events, I'm a-afraid he cannot make it. He is currently b-being taken to a medical facility here in P-Portland. So... uh... I dunno who I'm going to be interviewing..."

[Planned]

The meek girl jumped back at the sound of the random fireworks cannon, almost falling flat on her a**. She squeaked at the sudden appearance of the masked, shirtless man, yelling at her for no reason. Mindy stared at the strange man with a fearful, confused look on her face. The poor girl might be traumatized by the end of the night.

"U-uh... w-who are y-you?"

Mindy looked at the front of the shirt and tilted her head in confusion. "... Boom?" She asked with a hint of uneasiness to her voice. Her big, blue eyes focused on his mask after reading the shirt, "U-uh... so, are y-you a pyro-technician? A-are you part of the crew?"

"O-oh!... That would make more sense..." Mindy quietly muttered, feeling dumber than she had when she mispronounced Salem Croft's name last week. At least she couldn't get Boom's name wrong.

"Uh... S-so, you're a wrestler. Are you in the tournament? Is uh... is Bad Blood treating y-you well?" She was prepared to interview a champion tonight, not a random guy named Boom. Her entire thought process was going to have to be re-evaluated.

"Y-You're in the Sanguine Invitational? W-what belt do you think you'll want, i-if you win of course..." Mindy asked rather meekly, then holding the microphone up to the man's mask for a response.

"U-um... I dunno... Mr. Shanahan gets r-really excited about the S-Seasons championship, and the C-Crimson City belt looks pretty n-neat, I guess..." Mindy mumbled in response; she wasn't entirely sure how to respond to the question. After all, she's supposed to be the one asking them! "B-but everyone else seems to gun for the W-World title, and that's also an option...!"

"Uh... Um.... which one do I l-like? Well... uh... I guess the Crimson City is the m-most interesting to me...?" The girl looked really taken aback by his reversal of the questions, but she was determined to get her answers. "B-but I'm not the one hoping for a title! Y-you should aim for wh-whichever you like best; which would b-be...?"

"... Wha...?" Mindy responded with an extremely befuddled tone. She figured something was off about this guy, but now she was certain he was off his rocker!

"Uh... o-okay, good choice... so... uh... W-why are you called Boom? I-is it a childhood nickname...?" She stammered, trying to change the subject to something that probably the entire world was wondering at this point.
