Npc — He/Him Posted 6 years ago ( 2018/12/21 05:29:18 )


Spark stands at a run down stage, clearly unused and not prepared for any sort of event.
He holds a microphone as usual, and bears an enthusiastic expression.
Facing towards a scattered crowd of volties, including Vanora and Vivienne holding up a camera,
he begins to share his ideas.

“Hello my favorite fans! Spark here to give you the—Oh! This is not a surge? Well it’s
expected to get praise on a regular day too, but I’m flattered!”
He poses dramatically,
Frizz climbs up the stage and approaches him for a reminder, which she delivers in a
kind and quiet way.

“Brother, did you forget already? You said you’d interview the
others this time…”


Without skipping a beat, as if it was his intention all along Spark continues
with his boasting. “But of course I know why we’re here! Although I, Spark,
am the most interesting figure in our beautiful land of Voltra, I’ve decided to extend my
privileged screen time with the others!”


Frizz sighs, but with him back on track, she jumps off the stage and leaves to continue her own activity.

“That is to say folks, I’ll help you get some juicy answers out there! Just ask our very
interesting citizens your questions and they will answer!”
He smiles brightly, but then
frowns. “Unfortunately, my siblings will be preoccupied with their own activities. And I
must hold back for the sake of others.”
He sighs, but doesn’t seem the least bit sad.

“I know… As the most interesting subject you’d want to ask me some questions too, but
it’s ok my friends, just wait on for my autobiographic film. I’ve been acting it out for some
time now, all my secrets exposed. I know you’re all dying to see my beauty routine—Oh,
but I shouldn’t give away too much!”


The camera moves towards Vanora, who’s to the side shaking her head. She looks at the
camera with a nervous expression and laughs awkwardly.
“Sorry to say, there’s no film… he just acts it out on his own without cameras last I heard…”

Sparks waves frantically, and the camera switches back to him. “Alright, alright! I can
see we’re getting anxious now! No need for that friend, Spark is here to help you on this
endeavor. So ask away, surely they’ll all be excited to share their life stories with you.
Who wouldn’t be!?”
He nods to himself, then his face lights up.

“Ah! And of course, if you’re too shy to ask something, let your friend Spark know.
I will truly make your questions shine!”

    @vivienne: You seem nice and approachable. And we have similar personalities it seems. (I too am shy and people have said I'm sweet) so I'll ask you some kind of generic but fun, and (hopefully) non-invasive questions.

    1. What is your favorite holiday treat?
    2. If you could have any super-power what would it be?
    3. What animal would you say you most relate to, and why?
    4. What is your favorite part of your job?
    5. What is your favorite color on Voltra?

    There is something haunting in the light of the moon;

    Virgil grimaces slightly, looking around and mutters under his breath, "You sure I can't leave this?"

    He sighs.

    @guttedbunny: "Fine."


    Question 1: What would be the most spectacular funeral you could imagine?

    Answer: My own.

    Question 2: What’s your fast food horror story?

    Answer: Eating any and supporting the corporate machine that sells that garbage back to us. Also, I like food trucks better.

    Question 3: What’s something you’ve done that you would try to dissuade anyone from doing?

    Answer: Trying to meet the demands of others.

    Question 4: What’s the future of dating?

    Answer: Apps I guess.

    Question 5: When did the saying “looks can be deceiving” really hit home?

    Answer: My sister. She looks innocent, but she's always scheming. How do you think I ended up here?

    Question 6: What game do you dominate when you play it?

    Answer: I'm okay at pinball.

    Question 7: What scene from a movie scarred you for life?

    Answer: Wouldn't say scarred, but I guess that scene in Un Chien Andalou made me wince.

    Question 8: What’s the most important file on your computer?

    Answer: Classified.

    Question 9: What is your hometown best known for?

    Answer: Crushing people's dreams.

    Question 10: What is the longest amount of time you have been awake?

    Answer: 2 or 3 days probably?

    Question 11: What landmark from your childhood was destroyed and what was put up in its place?

    Answer: They're always rebuilding things in Ice. Heritage isn't as important as progress to them.

    Question 12: What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and it was 13 years in the past and you were your younger self but still had your current memories and experiences?

    Answer: Suffer.

    Question 13: What is the most useful thing your mom or dad has taught you?

    Answer: That societal expectations are cruel and unforgiving.

    Question 14: What fun activity from your childhood has been completely ruined for kids today?

    Answer: I didn't have fun as a kid. He pauses, thinking. I played outside sometimes, kids can still do that though.

    Question 15: What piece of tech do you hope is invented in your lifetime?

    Answer: Faster travel maybe.

    Question 16: What’s your best example of a pyrrhic victory that happened to you?

    Answer: Pretty much any accomplishment I have.

    Question 17: How often does your brain go on autopilot?

    Answer: Any time there's an event and I'm forced to be at the front desk.

    Question 18: What old fashioned way of doing things is better than how they are currently done?

    Answer: I guess I like film better than digital photography. You get a richer highlights and colours, and the authentic grain creates a natural feel. Also makes it feel like a more intimate artistic endevour when you're able to develope your own film. But digital is more convienent. Hm.

    Question 19: What are some things that you haven’t seen or read, but know everything about because of popular culture?

    Answer: Going to cop out and say most things. I'm not into what's popular.

    Question 20: What is the most boring activity imaginable?

    Answer: Small talk. Parties. Events.

    Question 21: What, besides wealth, do you never have enough of?

    Answer: Alone time.

    Question 22: What fact do you wish you had never learned?

    Answer: You want me to start a list? This world's full of harsh truths.

    Question 23: What board game always ends badly?

    Answer: Most of them. They all start badly too.

    Question 24: What’s your most impressive “go to” meal that you can cook?

    Answer: I don't know, I tend to eat out. I make alright koofteh I guess.

    Question 25: What part of your body would you replace with an improved mechanical version?

    Answer: I guess my eyes.

    @Lithinel: Oh! That's really nice of you to say! You do seem very sweet, they're right about that! And don't worry! I'll answer most anything!


    Question: What is your favorite holiday treat?

    Ooh! I enjoy baking cakes, but for the holidays nothing beats cupcakes! It's so fun decorating them with all the bright colors! And of course, they're always tasty what's not to like!

    Question: If you could have any super-power what would it be?

    I'd definitely want to be able to stop time! I could get so much done! I wouldn't miss another show because I was late either, heehee...

    Question: What animal would you say you most relate to, and why?

    Oh! Good question, um... m-maybe something cute? Like a baby cougar! It... it has spots like my freckles? Haha, well... they grow out of them unlike me! And hey, they can be a little dangerous too, so watch out Voltra! Heehee, I wouldn't hurt any of you, don't worry!

    Question: What is your favorite part of your job?

    I really enjoy being able to do creative and beautiful styles on everyone's hair! There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a smile out of someone from getting a good hair cut!

    Question: What is your favorite color on Voltra?

    What a tough choice! A lot of the colors I see everyone in are so beautiful, but hmm, if I had to pick I'd definitely go with Lilac!

    @Priestess of Pie: Oh! What a smart move, hehe! I'll get to mine right away!


    Question: What made you want to cut hair?

    Well! Haha, it's all thanks to Van! When I moved here, I helped at her shop... I saw how much people shined with something small like accessories, and it just hit me that I could help too! Hair is so important in a look you know! And thanks to Van I managed to push myself into it, now I love it! It was a rocky start... um hehe, a lot of bad hair days were had in the process... bless you Van, I owe her so much! I'll uh... I'll.... Well! I'm really glad I get to do this for a living!
