Avery Miller
Central Park
Affected RP'ers: @Desolate Divine

Avery gazed up at the ceiling as they strolled through the Central Park. "This concourse has excellent lighting," they mused quietly, "I wonder if there's ever been a contest held on a cruise ship before. It'd be a rather unique venue." As their mind was occupied with the brewing semantics of a contest held on a cruise ship like this one, a female voice called out to them, snapping them from their thoughts.

"Avery Miller?" Alyssa asked as she approached them, showing her media pass, "I'm Alyssa Drake from BattleNET. I'm covering the tournament here, and was hoping to get a few words? Maybe an interview?"

Avery immediately put on a smile as Alyssa introduced herself. They were vaguely familiar with Alyssa's work, having seen her coverage on battles in the past. Though admittedly, since it wasn't Avery's usual wheelhouse, they wouldn't have been able to recognize Alyssa without her introducing herself as she had. Still, Avery knew, whether or not they actually recognized the reporter, a media badge meant it was time to flip the switch and assume the performer's persona.

"Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Drake," Avery said, bowing their head a bit respectfully. "Of course I would be open to an interview. I'm sure your viewers are probably quite curious as to how someone like me made it this far." Avery laughed a little and added, "I'm not exactly the typical battler, yeah? Probably makes things interesting for reporters such as yourself too."

"Would you prefer to do the interview standing or seated somewhere?" they asked, "Either is alright with Gloria and me."
