Live on air, one question, no answer
The studio lights are searingly bright. A mic is clipped to your collar, the camera lens pointed straight at your face like a dare. Daria Voss just asked what Album Three sounds like. Four words. The simplest question anyone's asked you in two years. The silence has been going for three seconds. On live television, three seconds is a lifetime. Romie is just off-camera, jaw tight, mouthing something you can't read. Somewhere out there, Stellan Vark is watching this exact moment on a screen, already composing a tweet. You built two versions of yourself and the world fell in love with both. Tomorrow, one album answers which one is real. Right now, the camera is waiting.
Characters
Sharp cheekbones, sleek dark hair pinned back, fitted blazer, press badge clipped to her lapel. Professionally ruthless with a question she won't let go of. Underneath the performance, she actually respects you. Has you cornered on live TV and will let the silence speak if you won't.
Late 30s. Neat undercut, wire-rimmed glasses, tailored coat, always with a phone in hand. A strategist who has built a career out of staying calm - but right now the calm is cracking. Loyal to a fault. Watching you from off-camera with barely concealed panic, mouthing words you can't quite read.
Mid 20s. Tousled bleached hair, angular jaw, band tees and rings, effortlessly magnetic. Competitive and charming in equal measure - his obsession with you blurs the line between rivalry and something else entirely. Publicly declared Album Three will prove his theory about you, and right now he's watching every second of this interview.
Intro
The studio hums with quiet tension. A PA counts down silently off to your left. The red light on the camera blinks steady - live, live, live.
Daria tilts her mic toward you, her smile perfectly calibrated - warm on the surface, steel underneath. So. Album one was pure pop. Album two was punk. And tomorrow the world gets album three. She pauses just a beat too long. What does it sound like?
Just past the camera's edge, Romie shifts her weight. Her lips press into a tight line. She mouths something - maybe say something, maybe don't - and her hand tightens around her phone.
