## Spark's Interview

Jaz: Aaaand we are coming at you live from The Lodge, the only half-time show that happens every five days. Here today with me I have Spark… Uh… Last name?

Spark: Whazzat?

Jaz: You don’t have a last name, man?

Spark: The last name someone referred to me was with Spark, so that’s gotta be it!

Jaz: Sooounds reasonable to me. Let’s hit y’all with the replay.

Jaz: Saw tons of crowding in the first few turns. Give the others some space, y’all.

Spark: It’s like a big group hug but it’s really awkward because they’re going against each other!

Jaz: Intimate by choice? Orrrr not? You decide.

Jaz: We’ve got our first items on the board. Props to Jacko and Derpy for getting sooo lucky with their rolls.

Spark: Izzat sarcasm?

Jaz: I wish.

Jaz: Tuuurn two happened and uhhh…

Spark: Wow! How’d they get so far??

Jaz: We had not one, but twooo avalanches. Close one, folks. Not just that, but we had lots’a gifts go under the treeeee.

Spark: That’s super neat! But like, what’s happening to him??

Jaz: Uhhh… Gaming..? You gooood?

Spark: Definitely not.

Jaz: I’m sure he’s fiiiine. Just look at the coins he got.

Spark: Wow! That’s a lot more than three!!

Jaz: Why three, Spark?

Spark: I like that number!

Jaz: You’re quite the chaaaaracter, Spark.

Spark: Thanks I guess! What’s everyone doing on that scary space??

Jaz: I’m not suuure. Why would anyone want to see Bowser?

Spark: Santa

Jaz: I can’t-

Spark: Santa

Jaz: Suuuit yourself, bud. Aaaanything else to say about what happened?

Spark: They’re doing great!! Keep it up, guys!!!

Jaz: Aaand that does it for our replay. So Spark, tell the viewers at home a little bit about yourself.

Spark: Where are they?

Jaz: Where are who, Spark?

Spark: The viewers??

Jaz: Oh, riiight, they’re through that camera right there-

Spark: Hi guys! I’m Spark, but you can call me Spark! I got cool friends and cool moves and I can wire panels and other cool stuff!! I like to dance and skate and practice cool martial arts stuff with Wave and beat up bad guys and make my friends feel better and like, yeah!

Jaz: Thank you, Spark. And thank you, viewers, for sticking with us. Whooo do you think will win the competition, bud?

Spark: I like all of the guys! Especially Derpy. They have really cool shoes.

Jaz: There you have it folks. Our future winner is Derpy. They’ll get a super warp block for a bit of a boost. Everyone playing should watch out for a new section of the map opening up soon. That’s it for today, though. Would you like to sign us off Spark?

Spark: I don’t have a pen!

Jaz: Just turn off the camera.

## Bob the Frog's Interview

Jaz: Welcome back to The Lodge, everybody. Tooooday we are joined by the one, the only, Bob the Frog. Needless to say, it was a bit tough to get you on this show. I wasn’t exactly… apart… of that process. Would you mind telling our dear viewers why you were so hesitant to talk?

Bob: I was dragged here against my will

Jaz: Whaaat? Us at The Lodge would neeeever do that.

Bob: Not anymore after I killed them

Jaz: …

Bob:

Jaz: Let’s… Do the replay.

Jaz: It looks to meee like Jacko has a thing for D10s.

Bob:

Jaz: Nothing to saaaay?

Bob: Why do you look like that

Jaz: Listen, Bob, was it? Can we just tryyy and keep it civil here?

Bob: I dont like you

Jaz: Everyone loves you, Bob. So just sit still and talk to me here. Please.

Bob: Ok sure

Jaz: Raaad.

Jaz: Sauce has been on a roll! He went from firrrrrst place in coins to having a star and a gold pipe!

Bob: Thats dumb

Jaz: Pretty good luck of the draw if you aaaask me.

Jaz: The new fiiiishing spot is a must-try for everyone. All our contestants are scrambling to get their hands on some sweeeet, sweeeeet items.

Bob: I went fishing once

Jaz: Oh yeah? What’d you fish with?

Bob:

Jaz: Like, baaait?

Bob: Why would I need bait

Jaz: You scare me. Thaaaat’s about it, though. Aaaanything else to say, Bob?

Tel: Oh, not much, thank you. I’m just happy to be here, ‘s all!

Jaz: I’m flattered. Truuuely, I am. After our last guest, I wasn’t so sure we would have someone nooormal again.

Tel: Oh, am I now?

Jaz: Please tell me you are. I reeeally can’t handle another situation like last time.

Tel: As normal as someone made of bright blue gelatin can be~!

Jaz: I dig it, sliiiime lady. Let’s dive into the replay.

Jaz: Loooooks like Ocean’s been on a streak of baaad luck.

Tel: Poor thing… Y’sure it isn’t rigged?

Jaz: I’m offended you even aaaask that question.

Jaz: On the other haaaand…

Tel: Is that good? That’s good, right?

Jaz: Veeeery good! Derpy warped Sadie away and snatched the star himself!

Tel: But what about Sadie?

Jaz: She’ll be fiiine.

Jaz: A toooon of people have finally gotten their first staaaars!

Tel: Good for them! I’m proud they’re doing so well!

Jaz: Thaaat’s about it. Anything else, Tel?

Tel: Not much! Keep it up, everyone!

Jaz: That’s the replay, fooolks. Y’know, Tel, I’ve heard a lotta nice things about you, but the biiiiggest question on everyone’s mind is: Whooo is she?

Tel: I’m… famous?

Jaz: Well. I wouldn’t go THAT far. You’ve got a preeetty dedicated fan-club though.

Tel: Oh, that’s relieving. Well, I’m happy y’all like me~! I’m nothin’ special though; just a regular ol’ person living a regular ol’ life with a robotic psycho!

Jaz: There’s always a twist. Youuu… aren’t one yourself, riiiiight?

Tel: No! How could I be?!

Jaz: Phew. Good to hear. Whooo do you think is gonna win, Tel?

Tel: Oh! How could I pick just one?? Hmmm…

Jaz: This is embarrassing. My phone is going off. Hold that for juuust a moment, Tel.

Jaz: Y’ellooo? I’m in the middle of my set, what is it?

Jaz: A warrrrrant? For who?

Tel: Ahh, look at the time! It’s been great, Jaz, but I gotta skiddaddle! Byeeee!

Jaz: Wait! Who do you want to win?

Tel: Ravelore!

Jaz: Well, that was an abrupt end. I reeeally gotta do more research on who I bring on…

Jaz: Aaaanyway, thanks for coming to the show, everyone. Ravelore will get a gold pipe for their efforts. The fiiiinal section of the map has opened up now, sooo give it a try.

Jaz: This is Jaz signing off.

*This is the police! We have you surrounded!*

Jaz: Can’t you get rid of them?

Bob: No why should I
