Pre-show interview with Flare

The Host

Name?

Flare

Flare.

The Host

I see. So, Flare, how are you feeling about the competition?

Flare

You trapped us in a nightmare death game against our will and are forcing us to compete just to be able to get out of here alive. What sort of answer are you expecting?

The Host

Most of what you just said is complete speculation,

Flare

But it's true, though. The only reason you're not outright saying that 'elimination' means death is because if you were to confirm that, I imagine one or two of the people here would just have a complete breakdown.

The Host

It's called suspense, and the show is better for it.

Flare

Strongly disagree.

The Host

Yes, well, you're not The Host. If you want to make the rules, go make your own show.

Flare

I literally couldn't even if I wanted to right now.

The Host

Well, all the more incentive to win, I guess.

Flare

Not really. If elimination didn't mean death then that would mean that being eliminated would be the quickest way out o-

The Host

Alright, quiet down will you? We've still got three more questions to go through.

The Host

I swear, you're almost as bad as Chip.

Flare

Who?

The Host

Now, onto the next question.

The Host

What would you say your greatest strength is?

Flare

Hm. Well, I'm fairly strong... pretty fast, have rather good stamina... I've been told I'm a pretty good leader. People listen to me. At least, most of the time...

The Host

You certainly seem confident.

Flare

Confidence, yes. That's another one people have said.

The Host

Hm. Well, those certainly sound like skills that may come in handy in some of these challenges.

Flare

...

The Host

So, how are you feeling about your team?

Flare

I mean, let's just address the idiot in the room now.
[A shout can be heard from across the room]

Flare

Yes, I'm talking about you, [obscenity]!

The Host

Hey, hey, let's keep it clean.

Flare

...

Flare

Well, for whatever reason, he seems to think he'd make a better leader for the team. Despite, you know, everyone in the team hating him.

The Host

Is that... hm.

Flare

I mean, I even proposed that we could be joint leaders. That we could both work together to lead the team. And that'd solve all these problems, and make everything so much easier for the team.

But he refused that. He just wants to be in control, he doesn't actually care about what's good for the team.

The Host

Right. Well I'm sure you could rant for hours about this guy, but for the sake of time, let's move on.

The Host

How are you feeling about the other team? Anyone you're particularly worried about?

Flare

...Hm...

Flare

That leaf guy... what's his name?

The Host

Leaf.

Flare

Right. That Leaf guy seems like he's going to be their leader, so... I'll need to keep an eye on him for sure.

Flare

...And that's about it. None of the others really seem too much of a threat, but.. I don't really know much about them yet. I'll need to keep an eye on them.

The Host

Indeed. Well, I wish you the best of luck in the competition.

Flare

Sure.
