Create either an INTERVIEW ORP (where you can quote either other to interview) OR a INTERVIEW PRP interviewing two other people from factions NOT YOUR OWN (you can also create two separate interview rps, one for each person!) You must ask them a list of any of the questions below and then record the answers ICly. The format should be: question -> answer from player -> write it down (interview summary) -> interview complete, though you are free to just PRP it out with the player for a bit or ask more questions, or make up questions afterwards to ask of your own!
All interviews take place in a secluded area away from mobs. Think of it as a great way to know players from other factions without fighting in boss encounters!
Answers may not be answered sarcastically or they do not (icly!) count.
1) What did you do prior to Day Zero? 2) What is your secret to surviving? 3) What do you think caused Day Zero? 4) You are attacked by one of the undying. You lose function of both your legs and will never walk again. Would you rather put yourself out of your misery or survive knowing you will die soon in the future? 5) What use do you personally think you have towards your faction? 6) Do you think you will be rescued? 7) What qualities do you think you bring forward if you had to lead? 8) What the major problem to surviving Day Zero? 9) Describe your family. 10) Describe yourself 11) Describe your weapon of choice 12) What is more important to you - knowledge or physical power and why? 13) You find the way out of the city but are heavily infected.

Exhausted.
That was a great word to describe her, but there she was nearby the Harbinger's zone trying to get those objectives done for them. Not unlike a lackey, but the word wasn't being tossed around by anyone so it was probably just her. She was moving along with her small list of questions when she came across a small little huddle of people. None of them looked all that unpleasant, though she couldn't quite...tell just by looking at them. Unlike her maybe they didn't all wear their hearts on their sleeve, and she made no effort in hiding the fact that her arm, which had thankfully started healing already, was still numb and useless. She even hard to write with her left hand, which was annoying because she wasn't ambidextrous.
She had to try though, so with a sigh she took a seat and joined them for however briefly, if they let her, and cleared her throat. "Hey guys, uh... if it's cool, could I maybe ask a few questions? Or..." and she paused, a bit nervously before moving to hand her little notepad and pencil to the girl on her left. "I can't really use my right hand--my dominant hand--so if you guys could maybe jot down your answer for me that'd be awesome?"
It was worth a shot, but she wasn't sure if any of them would be up for it. She could hope, though.

Hey guys! Thanks so much for your help! ;; Mel's jotted down her questions that are a little hard to read 'cause she wrote it with her left hand, but at least one of the questions should be legible! lol I've given you guys three questions each to choose from, but you only need to answer one of them. ^^
If you wanna shoot back with questions from your peeps to use this for your interview, I'd be glad to reply and such to help you finish this objective~ :D

Monica grinned. The other girl had caught her at just the right time - her head was still hurting, after all, and she needed some place to sit down for a while. "I don't mind at all!" she said. "I like talking." Or writing things on paper. Either one of those was good.
She grabbed the pad of paper and a pen, and began writing her answers with care.
Quote:
1. I'm not sure, but it seems like science gone wrong to me! It looks a little too extreme to be a mutated virus. I mean...and some of these things are beyond television. 2. I think the major problem to surviving Day Zero is that we're not really cooperating with each other.
The third question gave her pause, though. What would she do? She loved Shirin. But a cure to the infection would save...could save so many people. And the virus could spread beyond Delta, too.
Quote:
3. I think the answer is up to her. I mean...I haven't seen her since before all of this, but I think I'd leave it up to her. It's her body, after all.
There. That was satisfactory.
She looked up from the questions when she was done, wide-eyed. "Wow - some of those were pretty hard-hitting!" she said. "Um...do you mind answering a question too?" She paused. "If...you lost both your legs, would you rather be put out of your misery, or...you know, keep living on?"
"Or, if that's too heavy - what did you do before all of this went down?" She waved a hand in the air.

She took back her notepad with a grateful smile and started handing it to the next person when the girl asked if she could answer some questions, too.
"Sure, no problem," was Mel's reply, and she said and listened as she listed her own questions. The first one was a doozy but she rather liked challenging questions like that, at least more than the generic small talk like the everyday "how do you do"'s and such. She gave it some thought before answering, though her words came out slowly. "I think if I lost both my legs I'd be bummed about it for a while, but I'm not the most active person in the world so I think I'd eventually get used to it. I'd rather lose my legs than my eyes, though; not sure what I'd do if I couldn't marathon my favorite shows on Netflix anymore, assuming we get the service back if we get out of here."
Which was the answer to her next question, so she continued. "That's actually what I was doing when it happened. I was watching Criminal Minds."
She smiled and just for formality's sake decided to introduce herself. She did seem pretty nice, and she took the notepad first and without any complaints or grumbling. It was good to make new connections even in such a bleak world, and Mel was always happy to meet new people anyway. "I'm Mel, by the way..."
And she turned to the other two women to include them in her introduction as well. "Yeah, sorry. I totally blanked earlier. I'm Mel, by the way." She gave a weak sort of wave with her good hand, and smiled sort of sheepishly at them.

Mel gave really thorough answers - Monica had to admit she was impressed. She took the information down gladly, humming as she did so. "Ooh, that's smart. I'm glad you have hope that we'll get out." If they were going to be honest, so did Monica. But a lot of the people in the prison faction seemed to find that optimism stupid. Well, she'd sure show them.
"Oh! I can't believe I did all of that without introducing myself! I'm Monica." She grinned at all three of the other women.

[ Assuming it happened after she braved radio tower ]
After getting some information she thought could be useful of her faction, she retreated to the secluded area to take a rest, more things needed to be done for mall before she headed back. When she was taking her rest and had her eyes closed, someone approached. The cool grey eyes flashed opened behind the glasses, stared at the speaker.
Gretel found it hard to hear the conversation between the two girls when her ears buzzed, she obliviously frowned. The hands crossed over chest were down as the speaker introduced herself. Nodded in a small motion, the lips barely colored parted, "Gretel." Since Mel didn't say of her faction, she didn't either, but the grey eyes looked into the blue eyes of her as she spoke.
Her suggestion was an acceptable since her hearing was damaged and she didn't want to let a stranger learn that. She took the notepad and pencil from her and jotted down answer.
Quote:
1) What is your secret to surviving? Gretel: Stay calm, analyze situation, take note of your own status and have a goal to move yourself forward.
Quote:
2) What qualities do you think you bring forward if you had to lead? Gretel: Experiences, wisdom & knowledge, information, observation & analysis, self-possessed.
Quote:
3) You find the way out of the city but are heavily infected. Would you still leave? Gretel: Depends. If I still want to live, I will. If I don't, I would suicide.
Short but to the point, she gave it together with the pencil back to Mel. The student was playing a zombie game in her dorm room when it happened, they were all similar, having their normal days ripped from them. Gretel looked up to the gloomy sky and wondered if she still dreaming, winds blew up the rope linking to the plastic whistle with brilliant colors. It seemed to be the only colorful thing in this grey world.

Mel took her notepad back from Gretel and voiced her thanks, along with a smile. She briefly scanned the answers written in her notepad so far and nodded, glad to see the honest answers, no matter how raw they seemed to be. When she was done she started to hand it over to the last of the three of them, hoping she would take it as well.
"It's good to meet you guys. For a while I was convinced we were like...the last on the planet, you know?"
She turned to Gretel again. "Uh, did you also wanna ask me some questions? Or..." and she kind of leaned back and gestured back and forth between her and Monica, "maybe you guys had questions for each other?"

"You're welcome. The same to you, It's good to know you're not alone. in some aspects, other people might be the reason you survive." Gretel the silver hair girl with grey eyes replied. She seemed composed and cool but generally friendly.
She thought a while, then nodded at Mel's suggestion. She hadn't take her stuff from Rebecca yet, but she was carrying a notepad and a pen with her. Since she wrote something in it for what she heard at the radio tower, she flipped it to the last page before she asked her questions.
"Mel, describe a bit of yourself and I'd like to know what you think is more important to you - knowledge or physical power and why?" Being a girl with low physical strength, she would like to know how others think about it.
She turned to another girl, "Since you're here, if you can get your hand on a weapon of your choice, what would it be?" The chubby girl with dark skin looked cheerful and amiable, Gretel guessed she won't mind answering.
Finally, she looked at the girl never talked, the one looked like a greenhouse flower, delicate and grew up with love. "If you don't mind, talk about your family and what would you do if you were rescued?"

Jane was startled, so startled she drifted away from the group for a little bit before realizing they were just holding conversation.
"Questions? alright..."

Pomelo's questions were a little probing so she only answered one.
"I think my faction knows what makes things work. We have a good defense and more importantly a system."

Jane looked like she would have been content if the ground swallowed her up right there. her cheeks were blushing. None of these people were part of her group and she didn't know how to answer a lot of the questions. She tired to choose one of each of those directed at her.

"Thanks," she said as she was handed back her notepad with the questions mostly filled out. She didn't mind that some weren't; she knew that she'd jotted down some more personal questions, and not everyone was interested in sharing. She tucked it away, along with the pencil, as the Gretel started to ask some questions as well, followed by the last girl (whose name she didn't quite catch if it was shared at all).
"Mm...I'm not really sure how to describe myself? I'm pretty average," she started, eyes looking toward Gretel as she was answering her question first. "I guess I'm a little quirky, moody. My friends used to say I was sensitive and cry easily, but I so do not." She sounded more like she was trying to convince herself of this, though. "As for which is better...I'd say it really depends on the situation. Obviously brawn isn't gonna do you any good if you're playing chess, and likewise being brainy wouldn't be too much help in gladiatorial combat. Still, if I really had to pick I'd go with...knowledge, because you can apply it to a whole lot of situations, including fights. I will add on that you'd also have to know what to do with that knowledge, otherwise it's just facts rattling in your brain."
Moving on, she faced the last girl and pointed at the hilt of the knife she had tucked away safely in a makeshift scabbard. "I've got a knife right now, but I'm not sure I'd call it my weapon of choice. Ideally I'd like some that doesn't make me have to touch those disgusting things. Maybe like a gun or something?"
Hopefully that helped them out a bit with their own research, or if not was just a good way to pass the time.

Monica was a little dizzy, but she waited patiently through the exchange of information. "Ooh! Me? I think...I think my weapon of choice is a car," she giggled. "I know it's a pipe dream in these conditions, but - driving is easy for me, and I think it keeps me safely in the vehicle, away from the infected." She paused. "But recently I got ahold of a fishing rod, and I'm pretty satisfied with that."
The other girl - Jane? - looked a bit nervous. That was all right. Monica tilted a smile over at her. It did seem like it'd be better to ask less probing questions, so Monica flipped her notepad to a new page and listened.
"All right, um. Gretel? Do you wanna describe your family to me? And...Jane. How would you describe yourself?"
Then she turned to Mel, just for formality's sake. "I hate to say this, but i-it's been bugging me, and...you actually look a little familiar to me." Had they known each other before this? Obviously not by name, but...

"A weapon would be nice." Jane nodded at Pomelo. "Not touching would also be nice, they are disgusting." she took a mental note of this.
Quote:
"Oh I like the car idea.... but it would be hard if they got into the car somehow." Monica received a smile.

Ok.....the shy one, Jane was as she expected. Gretel silently jotted notes for her answer and added, "Hope you can find your dog then." Short answer got short reply, that was her practice. "Get a nice bath," Gretel stressed.
Quirky? Gretel looked at Mel. She didn't see that on her so it's a fun point to note, she twisted her pen when the girl talked. "Being sensitive might mean you can feel the others better, that's not only a bad thing." She adjusted her lavender-colored glasses and nodded, "A wise pick. Sometimes strategy couldn't work without the help of strength, like setting up traps. Similarly, an opponent with huge strength could be defeated by strategies." What she still not realized was that she would prove her words on her way back to zone one later. Being able to analyze under situations was an important asset. Moreover, she approved of Mel's choice of weapon, if you are physically weak, you won't want to give a chance for those things to touch you.
She gave Monica a look for her reply, wondering the chance to get a working car. It was safe but its mobility was only slightly better than a house. Besides if the glasses are broken or run out of fuels, she would trap herself in it. "I understand, that's an interesting idea." It seemed two already got their hands on the weapons, was she just unlucky. The question the girl with big eyes asked was a bit personal, but she guessed she can say superficial things. "They're both business people, living far from here. I'd say a bit strict than normal family but they're caring in general."
Different types of people got a different answer, she checked what she wrote down and thought it would be enough. She also had rested enough, it's time to move on. "Alright, I've to meet up with my group, thanks for helping, see you all around." She mildly waved before she walked away.
Sweet~! I think that about wraps the interviews! Exit posts can happen, or more interaction, whichever you guys prefer! But at this point the objective could be considered complete~ ^^
