Oh, look I'm still here !
Hello Eveyone ! So, as promised I have an interview for the upcoming (yes, it’s still coming) Veritas reboot. For this interview I have Sarah Grace, Alan Gray, Minnow Dory, Jean Dory and Alex Haley and Me ! It’s a big group, so I’ve rented some studio space for us.
SH: Hello, thank you all so much for joining me
Sarah: Well, let’s be honest, we didn’t have much of a choice. But, the sentiment is nice.
SH: Um, you’re welcome. I have so many reader questions, but first of all I want to say I am so excited to have you all for a reboot of Veritas, I know it’s-
Jean: Oh, I’m sorry Shawna, but while we appreciate the opportunity you need to know Minnow and I will not be apart of this reboot. *casually drinks from flask*
SH: …
Alan: …
Haley:…
Sarah: …
Minnow: . . .Well, it’s just---
Jean: I’ll explain. You see, I care about my sister very much and well, last time she was in one of your stories she was dead for an installment, she almost got killed countless time and not to mention all the emotional torture. I just can’t put her through that . . . not to mention I wasn't even in Mimic and the rest of them were.
Minnow: Oh, but if you promise to make it easier on us, we might consider being in it. Might. *pops pill and offers bottle to Shawna*
Shawna: *shakes head* Well, I mean I understand this, I do. But, sometimes torturing your characters is necessary to fiction. You see their strength in how they survive. I mean would Harry be as great if he didn’t suffer 11 years locked in a cabinet ?
Jean: I’m sorry, Shawna, but we just can't. I know it will be hard to reboot your series without your main character—
Shawna: Oh,actually Alan is the main character
Alan: *takes pill from Minnow* Told you
Shawna: I really hope that's Aspr--
Jean: Really ? He is the main character ? Look, I love Alan like a brother, but let’s be honest there are more exciting heads to get inside of.
Alan: How did you not notice this, you self-centered jackass ? The story is told from my point of view. Listen, Jean you are good in small doses, but too much is overkill.
Jean: Small does, eh ?
* Jean pulls out a knife*
Jean: Let’s see how many small doses this takes before it’s overkill
Shawna: No, you can’t have a—
*Alan causally takes out a gun and points it at Jean*
Alan: You literally brought a knife to a gun fight.
Shawna: Stop ! You can’t kill each other you’re supposed to be friends
Minnie: Well, let’s face it, they have been more like frenemies.
Sarah: I wonder whose fault that is ?
*Minnie points her finger at Shawna*
*Sarah points finger back at Minnow.*
Shawna: *frantic* Can you stop this ?
Sara: I don't know, if I were you I'd write it down. This is probably better than what is going on in whatever reboot your making.
Shawna: *gapes*
Sarah sighs and pulls out a gun and fires warning shot. Jean and Alan stop fighting.
Shawna (shouting): Okay, guys we aren’t supposed to have weapons in here ! *pulls at hair*
Sarah: Listen, you idiots can kill each other after this over. Give us time to take bets.
They both sit down slowly eyeing each other.
Shawna: Um, th-tha-thank you.
*Minnow pets Alan's hand as he sits down*
Jean: Alan, you pretty boy idiot, I swear to God, if you touch my sister I will cut you to pieces and I’m sure you know where I will start. .
Minnow: *giggles* Stop it, Jean.
Jean: I’m serious.
Shawna: Okay, now back to the questions. Um, October S wants to know . . . will Jean and Alan be together in the reboot.
*Jean glares at Alan.*
Shawna: Let’s do the next question. Okay, this is a fun one. Someone wants to know if you could pick a new title for the series, what would it be ? This is a great question, because I am struggling with the--.
Alan. I’m sorry, this question is a little to meta for me, I can’t answer it.
Minnow: Well, I’d call it like, Cognition or The Melencholy of Alan Gray or something,
Shawna: Really? That’s what I was thinking.
Minnow: Well, I’m an extention of your imagaination, so I just went with what you are thinkning. Let’s face it, anything any of us say is an extenstion of your thought process.
Shawna: *Shuffle cards* Okay, um Linda Leigh, a great writer friend of mine, who I got this idea from wan—
Haley: *taps Shawna's shoulder* Excuse me, Miss Harrison ?
*Shawna breathes deeply*
Shawna: What?
Haley: I’m sorry, I just wanted to know if I was going to be in the Veritas reboot ? I know--
Shawna: *surprised* Wait, that’s actually a good question. Well I--
Sarah: I’m sorry who is he ?
Minnow: Yeah.
Jean: Is he Alan’s new supporting cast, since we quit ?
Shawna: Okay, one, you can’t quit and two Haley is in the second installment--
Sara: Oh, you mean that thing you wrote with little to no female characters ? Seriously ? I mean if I gave a shit, I’d be offended.
*tossed cards aside*
Shawna: I don’t understand. If none of you care or even want to be in it, why did you come ?
Sara: It’s not that I don’t care. Look, just let me put my hair back and kick ass and I will do whatever you want.
Shawna: Ooh, about that. You see in the reboot--,
Knock, knock, knock
Jean: I saw you are working on a sequel to Blessed Hearts, how is that going to work ?
Jean: ....
Shawna: Okay, well that’s all the time we have for today. I hope you have all learned about what is next for the Veritas reboot and I--
*power goes out*
I tried guys, I really did.
