The room you have been shown looks fairly generic; it's spacey, with scant furnishings aside from two armchairs situated in front of a bookcase. The books include titles such as The Fault in Our Stars, Lord of the Rings, the X-men comics, Godzilla: Legends, Godzilla: 2000, and Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters. Above the bookshelf are a series of glowing letters, spelling out
Your host seems to have trouble getting out of the trapdoor, costumed in such a way. Help them?
>yes: You get up and grab your host's rubber claws to help them up. "Oh, yes, yes. That's perfect. Very kind of you. Thank you so much." Your host thanks you (or at least you think they do; it's sort of hard to tell from beneath the Godzilla hood) and waddles over to their armchair and sits down.
>no: You watch your host struggle pitifully up into the room, standing up with some difficulty and waddling over to sit down in their armchair. They sound like they're quietly cursing underneath their Godzilla hood, but it's sort of hard to tell. You are incredibly rude, you know that?
Your host clears their throat, producing a piece of paper from somewhere within their Godzilla outfit and pushes back their hood, just enough so that they can speak clearly. It's rumored that no one knows what the host of Worldievision actually looks like.
"Welcome to Worldievision, ladies and gentlemen and celestial beings. Today we're very proud to be interviewing Vash Zwingli, who you may know has recently starred in the yet-to-be announced romantic comedy about a forbidden romance between a human and a bowl of salad, Lettuce Dance." Your host seems to have difficulty containing themselves and breaks into laughter. You hear gasps of 'can you imagine something like that?' and 'that would be dis-dressing!' "Okay, okay, just kidding." You are relieved to hear that your agent has not, in fact, signed you up for a romantic comedy about a human and a bowl of salad.
"Anyway, down to business." Your host composes themselves, not without difficulty. "You are aware this video will be posted to YouPipe later, right? Okay, good—just wanted to avoid any future prospect of legal action, haha! How about a quick greeting to your fans?"
How do you choose to greet them?
Still somewhat recovering from "WHAT, ANOTHER ROMANTIC COMEDY? I've been on many, but this has to be the most ridiculous one yet!", the interviewee straightens himself out from the shock of the fact that Godzilla is interviewing him.
"Well then, if that's settled, then hello out there, anyone watching."
A bit more enthusiasm, give them a bit more.
"Et bonjour und hallo! ...for my international audience."
Not exactly what was in mind. But that'll do.
"Nice, nice, I'm sure they'll love that. Now, why don't you tell us a little about yourself? Likes? Dislikes? Hobbies? Your favorite childhood show? First kiss?" Your host winks, but you can't see that because of the Godzilla hood. It's also kind of weird to imagine Godzilla winking. Actually, even being interviewed by Godzilla is pretty weird. "Whatever strikes your fancy, m'dear!"
You tell them a little about yourself, except for that embarrassing childhood incident which you hope never comes to light.
You know what to do here.
"As said, yes, the name is Vash Zwingli. I'm from Geneva, Switzerland, and I just moved here a couple years ago. I've done a couple films here, nothing too big though. Other than that, I guess I spend my time at Mikasa Fitness relatively often. I go on a run every morning if I can. I even bring my St. Bernard, Einstein, with me. If I'm not doing that, I sometimes go over to the shooting range, or, what a guilty pleasure, play Call of Duty or something of that sort. I'm not so sure I had a favorite childhood show as a kid, given that I worked with one, and," he said, adding a bit of a laugh for good measure (and shush if it seems a bit forced) "I don't think knowing about my first kiss will interest you at all. If you've seen the work I do in Hollywood, you'll know how I could be in that department. Really, it isn't anything of interest."
He could be good. Except one just might wonder how he is off screen.
"Mm, yes, very interesting. Now, what do you think of Hollywood so far? Where do you hope to see your career go?"
Tell them about your hopes and dreams, stud! You're just starting out in the Hollywood world, this might help you get some helping hands along the way. Or a shameful reminder if your career goes down the drain, but hey! Which one would you rather bet on?
"Hollywood treats me well. Less fussy than Paris was, if anything. I've been doing romantic comedy work lately, but I really would love to get into the action movie business. I've been learning to work stunts for a while to get myself more marketable there, if anything," he said, shrugging. "I've been in show business for a while, but I'll say, Hollywood treats well."
"Tell us a little about the obstacles you've faced in the movie industry. What do you have to say those who want to succeed in it? Is there anything you'd like to see changed in Hollywood?"
That's a loaded question right there. Assuming you have something to say (and I'm sure you do, in some way or another), let all hell loose! Give them a piece of your mind.
"Changed? Well... well first of all, I'll have to say, it definitely is harder to get parts here. I probably had an easier time in Europe because I've been in that atmosphere for such a long time, but Hollywood really is big leagues. Definitely harder to get to where you want here, and everyone seems to have multiple talents. And apparently my accent entitles me to romance instead of action. Whatever," he said, shaking his head. He's been in show business long enough to know that you can't simply say no to talking to an animated goat if you want to stay in business. "It's just business. If you want to succeed, you have to know to not be picky, I guess. I'd really like to be able to have more freedom with what movies I'm in, but that's business."
"Thank you, that was very insightful. We're going to have to step back from the serious questions for a moment though, since I've asked people to comment with some questions they want to see answered by you. These might be a little weird." Your host produces another strip of paper from who knows where and bends down to read it. It must be rather difficult to read with that hood on. "If there were two guys on the moon and one guy killed the other with a rock would that be fucked up or what?"
I dunno. Would it?
"That's depressing, if anything."
"I'm not sure what sort of answer they were expecting. It's kinda hard to keep up with the humor of young'uns these days, what with living in the depths of the ocean and all… Last time I came up, they'd developed a new type of bomb. I miss the good old days when you guys were killing each other with swords, haha! Anyway, speaking of technology, someone wants to know who's driving the plane?"
The pilot, duh.
You really need to read up on your references.
"...the pilot."
"Hehe, nice answer. Now, what is something you can say about your computer but not your partner?"
Tread carefully, sweetie!
"Uh..."
Come up with an answer! Are you going to admit that you're alone?
"I happened to pay good money for it."
Uh.
Uh.
Let's go with that, then.
"Now that's killer! Better hope your partner doesn't hear that, huh? Future or otherwise! What are inappropriate things to say upon meeting the President?"
Whatever you do, don't threaten the President. The FBI takes these things very seriously.
"I'd rather not get arrested here."
"Yes—it would be a very good idea to keep your mouth shut before saying any of those things to the President, haha! Well, that's it with the silly questions for now." The paper slips disappear into the costume again, and out comes a clipboard. "We've done a little looking into your previous filmography, and I must say they're pretty impressive! You started acting at a pretty young age, didn't you? The show was called... Oh, gosh, excuse me this might be a little—" Your host leans closer to the clipboard, probably frowning at it from beneath that ridiculous hood. They clear their throat, and speak in rather butchered German, "Vash und seiner guter Freund, Hans der Ziege. Wow, sorry, haha! German isn't really my strong suit. My horrible accent aside, how did you take to acting at such a young age? I'm sure that show was a great experience for you; why don't you say a few words on it?"
What was that about the embarrassing childhood incident? Gottverdammt.
Well that wasn't expected. Not something he's too proud of, most certainly not a "badass" debut, talking to goats. But personally, that was a happier experience. Just not something that he would share otherwise. Let's turn look at the bright side... at least there's no need to talk about the countless telanovellas.
"Mein Vater war... excuse me, my father happened to be the director, so naturally he auditioned me for it. The show was an interesting start. There were two versions of the show. One version was to teach French, the other version was to teach German. We had to shoot every episode twice, which could be a bother. Nothing much changed, except the fact that I had to switch languages, and then sometimes, in later episodes at least, they had me record myself in the sound studio in English. I even had time to spend with the goats that were on the show in between shootings," he said, even smiling a little at the experience of spending time with those goats. Eiger had been a silly little goat. Jungfrau was always such a sweetie, and Mönch was a bit moody. Perhaps he spent more time in his childhood with goats as friends. Go figure.
"It was more enjoyable than doing those television dramas with Mutti's television network."
"Aww... That's so sweet. Isn't it great to know that the children who watched that show when they were younger can now see you on the silver screen again? I think that's splendid. But back to the present! You've been cast in a lot of romance movies, but they're not really your thing. I, personally, would love to see you blowing off some steam in an action-packed movie! So, if you had your choice to be in any movie, what would it be?"
Resident Evil would be pretty cool, really. Imagine yourself shooting zombies. Fuck yeah. Epitome of manliness.
SOMEONE GETS IT NOW. SOMEONE GETS IT. There are much too many choices... much too many...
"I hear they'll be making a Last of Us adaptation, and I definitely want to get on board with that one. I'll admit, I haven't had the opportunity to show myself in the action genre, but I think that would be a good mix of emotional and action for me to adapt to. Excellent storyline, excellent game, and it looks quite promising."
Hell. Yes.
"Ooh—yes, great idea! Let me know if they ever remake that with you in it, haha! Unfortunately, our time is up. It was great talking to you and thanks for joining us at Worldievision, Vash. It was a pleasure to have you here! I hope you'll accomplish your goals. It's hard to make it in Hollywood, but I believe in you." Your host turns to the videocamera and waves their rubber claws. "This is Worldievision, and I'll kaiju on the flip side."
Worldievision
A tripod sporting a video camera is set up a fair distance away. You are instructed to make yourself comfortable on one of the chairs, and that your host will be with you in just a moment. Not much later, you hear music begin to play. It sounds quite eerie, and if you've seen the 2014 Godzilla, you might recognize it as part of the movie's soundtrack. As the final notes play, a roar fills the room (not too loud so as to startle you), and… what appears to be a person in a Godzilla costume emerges from a trapdoor on the ground. Wow. Impressive. You heard that last time, the host had flown in through the window, clad in a Superman outfit.Your host seems to have trouble getting out of the trapdoor, costumed in such a way. Help them?
>yes: You get up and grab your host's rubber claws to help them up. "Oh, yes, yes. That's perfect. Very kind of you. Thank you so much." Your host thanks you (or at least you think they do; it's sort of hard to tell from beneath the Godzilla hood) and waddles over to their armchair and sits down.
