Interviewing the Crowd

The arena was crowding in with spectators as Payne walked along with her cameraperson. Now that the event had started, she also had help from the control booth. They would point her in the right direction and provide names and information as needed.

She was specifically looking for the notable-people section. The famous, infamous, and well-to-do paid enormous sums of money, or were invited as VIPs, to frequent this section. It was good for publicity.

“The crowd is amassing for the tournament,” she said while the camera scanned the rows of seats. “Thousands will be in attendance today, but we’re going to focus in on those who have risen to the level of celebrity.”

She shielded her eyes from the sun and pointed to the third row.

“I spot Gappy Whirligig of the famous Gappy’s Gadgets, which everyone knows is a division of Contraptions, LLC.” Actually, Payne didn’t know that, but her control person fed the information and so she used it. “The parent company is owned by his wife, Tootz Gibdawdle-Whirligig, who is seated next to him. To her right is a rather attractive young man and there’s also a large orc.” She put her finger to her ear. “I’ve just received word that the young man is Merton Myron Wambles and the orc’s name is…” She couldn’t be sure, but it sounded as though something wrong occurred in the booth, because an expletive had been used. “What happened?” she said and then lifted her head and looked at the orc again. “Oh, that’s his name? Huh.” Turning back to the camera, she said, “Okay, so the orc’s name is Sh…” She paused and covered her ear again. “Are you sure? Hmmm? Oh! Right.” She smiled. “His name is Shrit.”

A flock of dragons flew overhead and everyone pulled out steel umbrellas. Considering what a mere bird could do to you as it flew over, Payne understood the need for the umbrellas to be made of a sturdy metal.

“Over here we have the royal families of Henroot and Nubbins.” She was smiling at the camera. “The Henroot family owns a large soap empire in the Underworld, and all of their product comes by way of the Nubbins hemp farm.”

There were many faces that she didn’t recognize, so she just kept moving until she was told to stop.

“Ah,” she said, pointing to a middle-aged, baldish man who was sitting with a fellow who was broad-shouldered and had long, princely hair. “I see the vampire Paulie Vergen and Prince Hughbarian Tessan.” Information continued flowing in. “Rumor has it that the prince is a werewolf, but you’d never know it by looking at him. Also, insider information claims that Paulie Vergen has been in discussions about doing a travel series called Around Ononokin in 90 Days.” She winked at the camera. “We can only hope that pans out!”

Just as she was about to continue her walking tour, a huge ogre stepped up to her. One look told her that he was the dumb type of ogre.
