Interview time

As Streama festivalen was trying to get all it's streamers back, a certain reporter was live at the Ryokoma dome reporting on things.

"Breaking news! Kisha Shinbun here, and we got the story of the year before us! Streama festivalen is right behind me, yet reports say... ALL THE STREAMERS GOT SUCKED INTO SOME PORTAL! That's what's in the video feeds, but as you can see, we can't get inside. They really don't want us in, but we gotta get in, there's a story to be told!"

This was Kisha Shinbun, a reporter and podcast host famous for interviewing many famous people. In fact, her studio wasn't too far away from Ryokoma, leading to her being one of the first reporters on the scene. However, she had stepped out just in time to avoid getting sucked into the portal, which for her was a negative. Kisha was a drama whore, and loved nothing more than gossip. This is what led to her being fired from the newspaper company she used to work for, but since she had wealth, she charted her own path and became one of the biggest podcasters out there. Even folks from other nations would not only watch her, but try to get on her show. She was jut that popular.

Unable to get into the actual dome to get a look at things thanks to Rika's security system, she had instead setup a makeshift studio in the lobby of the Ryokoma hotel, and was interviewing various passerby on the events unfolding.

"Alright, next guest is some Mario guy. You know, the guy I had on a few weeks ago to discuss chess. So tell me, Mario, how long do you think this fiasco will go on for?" Kisha asked.

"I'd say... things will probably wrap up soon."

"Why's that?"

"Everyone's starting to get back together, so all that's left is to beat up the main villain. Once that's done, everyone will come back."

"OK. Sounds reasonable. And that's all the time we got. But after this short commercial break, I'll be back for more interviews, so stay tuned!"
