(Please note that bold speech is the interviewer speaking, while everything not in italics or bold is Portia speaking.)
*Portia enters the interview room.*

**(*Standing up to greet Portia*) Well, hello Portia! How are you?**

**Portia:** I'm doing pretty well, thanks!

*Portia takes a seat in the chair across from the interviewer, and the staff member takes a seat as well.*

**Congratulations on your medal, by the way! Your performance at the Four Continents championship was *stunning*!**

**Portia** (*Laughing*): Oh, well I appreciate that a lot! It was *not* easy getting there for sure.

**I can only imagine... (*hesitating for a second*) Well let's hop right in to the pre-game interview! What made you decide to play our show?**

**Portia:** I mean... this seemed a lot more fun than the games that lock you away or sequester you for months and months (*rolling her eyes*)! Honestly, I've always wanted an experience like this... just to be away from the world for a little bit, but not for two long, ya know?

*The interviewer nods their head as Portia continues.*

**Portia:** Plus, the whole idea of trying to figure out who the mafia is (*smiling*) that just overall sounds really exciting!

**Carrying with the idea of the game itself, do you think you'll be able to use skills from what you do on the season?**

**Portia:** Hmm... we're getting straight into it aren't we...

**(*Laughing*) That's what I said, didn't I?**

**Portia:** I do have a really, *really* competitive side to me that normally only shows out on the rink. But I feel like I want to release that competitive nature out in the game! I want to *strategize*, and I want to *win*. There will be nothing standing in my way, no matter what role I get, or how amazing these players are.

**This enthusiasm is great! Do you have a preference on any role that you may get?**

**Portia:** I bet a lot of people are gonna say something like the *mafia* or the *maniac* (*widening her eyes*). But I'd really just love some powerful villager role, like a healer or a detective! Being able to lead a team to victory is what I'd *love* to do- but I wouldn't mind sacrificing a few people for the team (*rolling her eyes and shrugging playfully*).

**Ahhh, that's one I don't hear too often for sure (*chuckling*).**

**Portia:** And I guess I don't really need the money- so I'll share the wealth as much as possible in that case!

**So, as you mentioned, this *is* a strategic game... but it's also a social game with challenges! How well do you think you'll be in these aspects? Are there any types of people who you do and don't normally get along with?**

**Portia:** Honestly, I think I've got both of those covered! I may not be the *strongest*, but if it's a mental challenge, I think I will very much excel, and if we need agility in some sort of physical challenge, you can bet that it'll be covered (*winking*). As for the social game... I don't want to sound too prideful (*chuckling*) but I feel like I'm a *very* outgoing person who loves to meet new people! There are of course those types of people who I just don't click well with? But as for a whole category of people, I wouldn't say that there is one that I dislike or don't get along with per se.

**Thank you, Portia! It's been very nice talking to you, but unfortunately, I must take my exit now. Another applicant to attend to, of course.**

**Portia** (*Standing up*): Well thank *you* for the opportunity! I hope not to disappoint!

**I'm sure you won't! It's an honor to have you on the season (*smiling*).**

*Portia walks toward the door and says a final "Good-bye" as she shuts it behind her.*
