A/N Okay here is the first starting chapter of the story, the other was just prologue and informative, now the update of these next 3 chapters will depend on the OCs submitted.
Belize sat in a chair waiting for the first few applicants to come in Belize sat there and waited, and waited, and waited. He started to juggle pens out of boredom, since he had nothing much else to do he just practiced juggling until he managed to juggle eight pens, suddenly the door opens and Belize lost his focus for a second and all the pens in the air fell to the ground, on the desk, and a couple on Belize.
Belize looked up and saw a golden brown squirrel with a lavender bow standing in the door way, "Hey umm Belize, when are you going to start this application interview thing?" Belize shook his head, "Oh umm I was just waiting for someone to come in, you applying Michelle?" Belize said smiling. Michelle looked away for a second and turned back, "Oh whatever let's have a go for it." She went in shut the door and sat in the chair in front of Belize.
"Okay well I have your profile here, would you like to elaborate on the skills and talents?" Belize smiled as he opened up the folder and looked at what she put down in her profile. "Well my first talent really is in retail, I can pretty easily convince people to buy something and make them think that they are making a good deal, which they are, but I am on the better end of the deal, but not too much." Michelle then looked at Belize, and saw he was giving her a 'You have to be kidding' face she shrugged, "Well I do have a real one for whatever you are doing, but I don't know if I will reveal what it is or not." Belize sighed.
"Okay that is fine, but do be aware the skills and talents, plus the interview is going to be the main reason I select people for game show, any way are you ready for the questions?" Michelle nodded smiling and clapped her hands together, "Yes oh yes I am ready." Belize sighed and picked up a notepad. "Okay then….Would you spill any secret you have in an attempt to save yourself from elimination?" Belize looked up at Michelle and waited for her to respond so he could start his notes whether she should or should not be in the show. Michelle buttoned her lips fast she opened her lips and was about to speak, but she quickly shut them. "Hmm" Belize just sat waiting.
"I guess I might, as long as it's not entirely too embarrassing." Belize started to jab down a few things and then smiled, "Okay….What would you do if you were the first one eliminated?" Michelle relaxed a bit and then thought carefully what her answer would be.
"Well it would depend who I lose to, and how I lost, if it's like last time I would be a bit upset, but hey you can't win everything all the time." Michelle then smiled and grabbed a pen on the desk and broke it in half, while still smiling like nothing was wrong. Belize wrote down a couple more things in the notepad, "Okay and the final question….If you won what would you do with the prize?" Michelle shrugged, "Well it depends on the prize I guess." Belize smacked his-self in the face for forgetting to put a prize up so they would know what they would win.
"Umm hang on a second I have to make a call…" Belize grabbed the notepad and turned the chair around. "Umm hello, yeah this is Belize." a couple seconds go by, "Okay well would you mind telling who ever sent me this package; tell me something I can give to the grand prize winner?" Belize waited a few seconds and then responded. "Okay that is great, thank you." Belize turned the chair around. "Okay so I will only go into details once the challenges start, but it's a large money prize."
Michelle smiled, "Okay well large money prize, I guess depending how much it is I will spend it on upgrading the business, build me a little sleeping shack in the loft above the store that is much cleaner and safer for me to live in, and whatever is left will just go to a lucky raffle ticket winner, that will get all the money but a small cut for tax purposes." Belize smiled and quickly wrote a few more things down and then got up held his hand out. "Thank you Michelle, once I have all the interviews in I will make the announcement, have a great day."
Michelle walked out of the room smiling, "Well thanks, but I only figured to try, it wouldn't hurt to try right?" Belize just smiled at her once she was out of the room he grinned a little, "Oh don't worry the challenges will hurt, but how long? Well that will be up to whatever happens." Belize then heard the door open and in walked a periwinkle cat with black tipped ears, "Hey there Belize, you really going to do this show thing again?" Belize smiled and nodded, "Yes, but this time its much better terms and I want the pay for the bonus ratings I am sure the show will get when I throw things into the mix that make for a better show." The cat shivered for a second, "Well I t-think I better just leave now, unless you need a co-host again." Belize shrugged, "I would love to have you co-hosting again Zack, but I am sure there won't really need to be one this time around."
The cat sighed and looked upset, "Are you sure you don't want to be in it, I mean it could be fun…" Belize said nudging Zack trying to push him into at least applying to be on it. "Okay fine Belize, I will try and audition or interview to get on." Belize smiled and handed him a piece of paper with the profile information. "Fill this out, I am going to interview a few more, then when you get that done I will interview you. Okay?" Zack was staring at the paper trying to figure out would he be able to hold his own if he made it onto the show or not.
Belize snapped his fingers at Zack, "Hello can you hear me?" Zack stirred to life and started to walk out the room after grabbing a pen that was on the ground in front of the desk, "Yes I think I will go through with it." Belize just smiled "Okay." Zack left the room, "Crap I do need to get a co-host, but who? I can't just pick someone at random like last time, but…" Belize felt an idea spring in his head as he went through the several responded profiles of potential competitors and pulled out two that could work as a co-host.
Belize then sighed as he remembered he had more interviews for the day; he put the profiles in a separate drawer and then proceeded to wait for the next to walk through the door. The next applicant that stepped through was a red tiger. "Hello umm…" The tiger just sat in the chair and looked at Belize. "Don't worry Mr. Ferdinand, you will know much more when I pronounce my love to your little sister on the show I am sure she would love it, so lets get down to business, do the interview and lets move on with it."
Belize was shocked he was being fast paced by someone he didn't know well enough to remember the name immediately, he just shrugged, "Fine, whatever… Here in your profile it says you are a tracker, make a quick elaboration of the skill." The tiger sighed, "Well I been hunting with my father before he left me with my uncle and died in some accident I don't think is pertinent to the situation so it will not be mentioned." He then put his head down, but then quickly lifted it back up again.
" But the past is the past, any way he taught me how to track and well ever since his death I been honing my tracking to the best I can without being taught by a professional tracker so all the skills in tracking I have is from my father, and what I learned on my own." Belize shrugged and then turned the page of the notepad.
"Okay then answer three questions and you can leave…What do you think about the supernatural?" The tiger sighed, "You have to be kidding me, that is stupid idiocy stuff no one cares for or about… okay next question…" Belize was a little annoyed the jerk was rushing him like this and even more annoyed that the tiger was in love with his little sister Rose, but he knows that she mentioned she had been great friends with the tiger for several years, and she is wondering if or when he would step up to the next level.
Belize then quickly got his mind back on the interview, "Okay whatever… You being this way is really not a good thing if you are going to date my sister, I would rather tie you to a bed and torture then let you be more then friends with her…" The tiger looked at Belize a bit shocked he said that, but knew Rose wasn't lying when she said he was protective.
Belize smacked the tiger with the notepad, "Hey no more day dreaming you want out of here so fast just answer this next question and the last and you can leave." The tiger rubbed his head where Belize smacked him, "Okay would you risk a friendship or a crush for a short term goal?" The tiger looked at him and just said "No way would I do that to Rosy Wosey." Belize almost busted out laughing, "Yeah, yeah, its funny to you, but not to her now… give me the last question…" he said slightly blushing that he said that out loud.
Belize smirked a little, but then wanting to get through this interview fast he had to ask the last question. "Fine answer this… If there are teams on in the show, how are you in being cooperative and loyal to that team, or are you a lone wolf that will take down anyone in your path?" The tiger thought for a minute, "If Rose was in the game and on my team, I would be loyal to her as a team member, but everyone else is free game."
Belize wrote down more things in the notepad and snickered a little before putting the notepad down after he turned the page for the next interview. "There we are done, you can go now, umm…" The tiger snapped at him "Look at the profile Mr. Ferdinand, I am sure that would help." Belize laughed "Oh shut up, don't you have somewhere else to be that's not here?" The tiger scoffed and looked at the clock on the wall. "Oh crap Our anniversary gifts…" The tiger jumped out of the seat and ran out the door, Belize took a look at the name on the profile…. Dave.
"Okay that was just three interviews, how many more do I have?" Belize got up from the seat walked outside and saw there was two otters there one grass green with a sky blue fedora. A tan otter with a star mark on her head. A light green fox with blue parallelograms on the side of his eyes and a light blue pentagram on his belly. Two cats, one that was red with blue stripes on the arm and smiling a bright shiny smile, the other blue but with red stripes on the arm and frowning a deep despair for reality, but a little softer when the red cat walks by him.
Belize sighed and then saw a light blue squirrel with a monocle and a grey wolf with a blood red tipped tail and ears and a dragon tattoo going from her head down to the tail. Belize nearly fell to the ground but he regained his composure before falling. He looked all around and started to think this interview thing was a slight bad idea, but he had to push through it. He went back in and breathed in slowly and exhaled trying to relax and waited until he was much more relaxed he went outside. "Okay bringing in two at a time now to make this a little faster, but one is going to have ear plugs in." Belize looked around and figured he should finish the sentence. "Only for the interview, the rest is fine for the others to hear." Belize turned and started to walk into the room, without turning around. "I will let you all decide who will be the next to go through the process." Belize went inside, and sat in the chair behind the desk and then sighed there was only one chair in front of the desk.
Belize walked to the side of the room and tapped on the wall, the wall opened up and shown a hidden storage room, Belize went inside and grabbed an extra chair and quickly had it set up and closed the hidden room door as fast as he could before anyone walked into the room.
Belize relaxed a bit when he had the door shut and was on his way back to sitting down in his chair to wait for the next applicants. The two otters walked in, Belize smiled, "Hello Gin, Louise… You two ready for this?" The tan otter known as Gin smiled, of course, but if I do make it on the show… I am going to need at least a week or two ahead of time to umm have something set up." Louise and Belize looked at Gin confused as to what she said, but they dismissed it as nothing important.
"Okay any way let's get started… Well this might be one of the faster interviews, since well you two aren't really too talented with anything." Louise slammed his hand down on the desk. "Hey we may not have talent, but we do have skills that you seem to have forgotten." Belize shrugged, "Well there's the problem, but whatever… Give a little explanation about moderate survival skills."
Louise looked at Belize, Gin just tuned out everything trying to figure out a plan in case she does make it on the show. "Well we live out doors mostly, so any outdoor setting or equipment will not really be needed for us, if this is a survival thing." Belize shrugged "Well this wasn't entirely my idea so I don't know for sure what it is about, I just know it's a show and I am hosting." Belize then reached down under the desk and pulled up ear plugs. "Okay who wants the interview first?" Gin was still planning and Louise was hoping she would go first. "Well?" Gin finally snapped to, "Oh time for the interview? I will go first." She smiled and Louise relaxed a little.
"Okay Louise put in the plugs." Once Louise had it in Belize decided to test it, he looked at Gin and slightly covered his mouth and told Gin anything he says he doesn't mean, but he's testing if the ear plugs are in. "Okay Gin… Ready?" Gin smiled, Belize looked at Louise and figured "So what time are you expecting to have the triplets?" Belize knew Louise did not want a family until he was older and he would hate to hear Gin might be expecting.
Louise didn't even stir not even a little so Belize knew it was safe to give the interview. Belize picked up the notepad and got a pen from the desk and was ready to write. "Okay real questions now. How would you feel if your best friend won?" Gin looked around and sighed, "Well I don't make friends well and Louise is the only friend I have so I would be fine with it if he won and I didn't." Belize wrote down a few things in the notepad. "Okay…Why do you think you deserve to be on the show?" Gin smiled, "Well it's a dream of mine to become famous and rich, but famous is the main priority, so I deserve to get famous because of this." Belize wrote more things in the notepad "Okay and the last question is…How would you feel if you betrayed your friends in the challenge? even though you might not have friends other then Louise, answer any ways."
Gin sighed "Well I am perfectly fine with it since well me and my 'Friend' are together giving us possibly two chances at winning, so if he doesn't get it, then I would be fine with it, but if I don't get it, he better." Belize was looking at Gin. He stopped for a second and then continued writing. "Okay tap Louise on the shoulder."
Gin did so making Louise jump a bit at the sudden contact without any warning slightly ignorant of the situation going on around him. He quickly pulled out the ear plugs. "What is it my turn?" Gin nodded. She then got up and walked over to the door. "Where are you going?" Gin laughed a little, "Sorry I don't do ear plugs well, so I am just going out, plus I need to do something." Gin walked out the door.
Belize sighed, "Okay what ever any way let's get on with you…What would you do if you were the first one eliminated?" Louise shrugged "I don't know really, I guess it wouldn't effect me much." Louise looked around the room. Belize wrote down information on a different page of the notepad. "Okay…What do you think about the supernatural?" Louise looked at Belize a bit confused, "Oh come now Belize, you should know my answer to that." Belize laughed, "Well I do, but its fun when others explain things that no one else much knows." Belize smiled.
Louise looked at him confused, "What the hell do you mean?" Belize didn't even look up from writing in his notepad, "You told me, but now you need to explain in your own words about it, also I don't think you would want me to have my version of your answer down." Belize then stopped writing and looked up, "So answer and explain." Louise sighed in defeat knowing that Belize was just going to find ways to keep pushing him until he answered, so he just figured he would answer it.
"Okay fine, damn… I am only supernatural about things in the occult, slightly. I don't really have a care about the heaven or hell, or angelic or demonic shit much, that's too religious, how ever evil and good essence I do believe factor in a bit. But other then essence of something I do not really at all believe anything supernatural." Louise looked at Belize and saw he was half asleep in the chair. "Belize!: Belize snapped awake, "Okay, well last question and then you can go on your way…If there is teams on in the show, How are you in being cooperative and loyal to that team, or are you a lone wolf that will take down anyone in your path?"
Louise shrugged, "Well I guess who is on my team, if me and Gin make it and on the same team, yeah I can be a team player, but if we are not and I am stuck with people that I don't like then hell yeah I would take them all down, sabotage the weakest link in the team and have the full support of them being picked off." Louise then smiled like he was innocent from everything he said. Belize froze stared at him and then wrote down more in his notepad before sending Louise on his way out of the room. Belize sighed and then started to think if he should rush a little through some of the rest, he then shook his head. "No you wanted a thorough interview, you are going to go through with it no matter how annoying it gets to you." Belize saw the door was wide open and everyone was staring at him. Belize shrugged as a rock broke into the window of the room, Belize went over and picked it up and saw a note.
Belize,
We have been watching your interview thing, even though its good, you need to focus on only one at a time, also might want to put things through the show is to start filming in several days
The Management.
Belize sighed and went over to the open door "Okay we are getting back to the one, I am just going to ask the questions and you answer, sorry, but I know you all too well and I just got a note to save the insights for the show of actual competitors. So the only time I will dig in on the interviews is once the producers have their selections then have fun with that…So from now on you get in sit, I ask a question you leave. Okay let's go."
Belize pointed to the grey wolf and got her into the room, He sat in the chair and snapped his fingers an orange beaver with a yellow hard hat ran over to the window and started to do his best to fix the window that the rock was tossed through, but it was a little hard, but he managed to do it even though he only had stubbs for hands.
Belize paid no attention at all to the window and smiled at the wolf, "Okay so as you know we are skipping everything but the questions, at least with you all, and the more thorough comes when the show starts." Belize shrugged "Okay ready do this Miltera?"
Belize grabbed the notepad and looked at the Miltera… "If there are teams on in the show, how are you in being cooperative and loyal to that team, or are you a lone wolf that will take down anyone in your path?" The wolf sat silently, but quickly wrote down on her own notepad, "Well you know I am a team player, but if they interfere in my goals then I will take them out, but I doubt that they would interfere too much." Belize wrote down a few things, smiled. "Okay then….What would you do if you were the first one eliminated?"
The wolf shrugged, the quickly wrote down "Wouldn't matter, I mean if this is not like the last one what harm could it possibly bring to lose… Just the chance of whatever the prize is." Miltera did a sighing motion, but didn't make a sound. Belize wrote down more notes, "Good point actually, eh I know the answer to this last one so I will end you at the two questions." Belize smiled and Miltera and pushed her out of the room.
Belize looked at everyone there. "Okay we need this done faster, so its going to be a single question, since I know all of the answers you guys and gals will make, so just line up and walk in I will ask a question and then you answer, you leave next walks in, then when others show up that I don't know, will answer three questions to get a sense of few things."
Belize saw Zack sitting in the chair; he walked over to him, "So, you done?" Zack smiled, "Just need the 'interview' then yes." Belize shrugged, "Okay get in the line and let's get this on the road." Belize went inside, the blue cat with red stripes on its arm walked in after him. "Okay Son, Would you have any encouragement to even put effort into the show?" Son just looked around, "Whatever." Belize wrote down in the notepad a few things and then sent Son out.
The other cat that was red, and had blue stripes on the arm walked in. "Hello Crim, if you won what would you do with the prize?" Crim looked around "Oh I don't know I would probably give it to charity and help orphans find a stable home." Belize looked at her kind of getting a little unnerved by her positiveness. "Okay next…." Crim smiled and jumped out of the chair and went out the door.
The light blue squirrel with a monocle walked in, "Kayser, I am shocked you would do anything I was hosting." Kayser shrugged, "I thought you wanted this to go by fast, just ask me the question so I can leave, you are already getting on my nerve from an already bad day…" Belize opened the drawer and pulled out a stapler. He then grabbed his notepad and tore a piece of paper out and wrote on it and then smiled looking at Kayser.
"What the hell are you…?" Before he could say anything Belize grabbed the squirrel's tail and stapled the paper on it and then pushed him out the door. "Belize then grabbed the next in line that was the fox with blue parallelograms on his eyes and pentacle on his belly."Hey Dwayne, needed a vacation from your group?" Belize didn't even wait for Dwayne to answer and then grabbed the notepad. "Don't answer here's the question you will answer… Would you sacrifice your chance to win for anyone?" Dwayne looked at him and didn't say a single word.
Belize wrote things down in his notepad and smiled, "Okay thanks for the answer, now leave so I can get through with these interviews for the day." Dwayne rolled his eyes and walked out; Zack walked into the room handed Belize the profile and sat in the chair.
"Let's say you get to the finals, would your personality be changed, or do you think you would be the same as you are now?" Zack looked at him, well I think it depends who is with me in the final and how I got there." Belize wrote down things and pushed him out.
"Finally they are out of the way, now to actually have some fun getting to know the others, I wonder if any of them will be interesting, and bribable, hmm I will let my co-host deal with them, to not look like it's my plan, but whatever I think it won't matter much… The producers want ratings… I am going to provide.
A/N Okay a little overboard as a start, but I love writing, and yeah, any way I will be doing a short interview thing for all the OC submitted so I will ask a few questions some may get a single question some may get more, it really depends, any way yes this chapter was my OC's they were the guinea pigs of the interview… any way next chapter starts the official other Writer OC submissions.
