"Hello and welcome to another edition of....'Talents from the Old World' with me, Luna Flickerman!" She holds her arms out to gesture to the crowd, but then suddenly drops quiet. "Tonight, we have an extra special guest." She begins to get louder while continuing. "She's strong and mighty, and is beating the boys at their own game! Please welcome to our stage Johanna-Mae!" She shouts, sitting down as Johanna-Mae comes from the side of the stage and sits beside Luna.

"Thank you, Luna... It's an honour to be here today, I guess?" She folds her arms, propping one leg up on the chair.
Luna;;
"So, Jo--can I call you Jo?"
Johanna-Mae;;
She sighs lightly. "I guess I don't mind that too much..."
Luna;;
She claps her hands together loudly. "Excellent, excellent! So Jo, please tell us, what are you here to talk about today? What is your special hobby?" She says in a low tone.
Johanna-Mae;;
"Well, Luna, it's a sporting competition of Basque origin, which involves swinging an axe around and chopping wood." She explains, sounding a little bored.
Luna;;
"Come on, I'm sure there's more to it than that! Don't you want to learn more?" She calls, gesturing to the audience and inviting a wave of screams.
Johanna-Mae;;
"Okay, fine... It's called Aizkolaritza. The name here comes from the Basque word for 'wood-cutter'." She begins, flicking her fringe out of her face with annoyance. "It's a wood-chopping contest originating from the Basque regions of Spain that has now spread to a lot of different places in the world, and is surprisingly quite popular." She snorts a little. "They usually use Beech wood, which is without visible knots, and it is said it mostly comes from the forest of Navarre. The wood is usually categorised using circumference but using and old Basque measurement that I really don't understand--why can't they just use centimeters?!" She laughs in either exasperation or irritation. "It gets broadcasted on TV and radio sometimes, but usually only when a big competition is going on. It pushes the limits of the contestants' stamina whilst also testing the speed and strength of the competitors and, of course, skill at swinging around an axe."
"Each competitor has to chop through a number of tree pieces, which are placed on the ground in front of them, in the fastest time they can possible while standing on the log, trying to beat the other competitors while trying not to fall off. When they do its quite funny though." She chuckles a little at the thought.
"There is one competition that's pretty famous that I competed in: the Urrezko Aizkora, meaning the Golden Axe. It's the most renowned event in the whole of the sport. You cannot be considered any where near amazing until you've competed there at some point. It is held in a city called Azpeitia, which I think is considered the most beautiful city in the Basque area of Spain... It's a big tourist attraction, anyway." She snorts again, clearly disagreeing. "They hold some of the largest competitions in the world there, attracting up to 30,000 people. They have junior competitions there for those under eighteen. I won the latest of these junior competitions." She smirks proudly.Luna;;
"Wow Jo! At sixteen?" She says slowly, pronouncing every syllable, her eyes wide, clearly surprised.
Johanna-Mae;;
She snarls a little. "You shouldn't judge a girl based on her age, Luna." She spits angrily. "I've been competing in competitions for this sport since I was just fourteen. It doesn't matter how old you are, or if you're a girl. If you practice you can beat pretty much anyone." She adds smugly.
Luna;;
"Jo, you seen pretty tame and likeable to me. You have fire of course, but tell me, aren't Axe wielders supposed to be quite... Wild?" She asks curiously.
Johanna-Mae;;
She laughs, shocked and rather offended. "Tame? Likeable?! Are you totally brainless? No one decent is this good with an axe! Plus, I use mine every day."
Luna;;
"So, then, you have a job involving your axe skills?"
Johanna-Mae;;
"Of course I have a job involving my axe skills, Luna!" She says, smirking as if Luna is stupid. "How would I be good enough otherwise? It's not enough to be able to just swing an axe around and hope you manage to win!"
Luna;;
"Okay then..." She begins apprehensively, somewhat shocked at the aggression. "What exactly do you do?"Johanna-Mae;;
"I'm one of those people who cuts down trees, you know, a lumberjack?" She says, slightly patronisingly. "Well there's this forest--you know, that huge one? I managed to use money left to me as inheritance to buy quite a lot of the land in that forest." She sees Luna gasp a little at this and laughs again. "Well it wasn't really expensive. I mean, no one has much use for a bunch of dumb trees. So, yeah, the land was cheap, and so I purchased myself a large axe from one of those big warehouse stores. Well, I say I purchased it myself, but some adult I knew had to go purchase it for me because I was only fourteen at that point." She chuckles a little. "So there I go with my axe and I clear myself some land and build a little cabin with the logs there. Then I realize that I could make quite a bit of money selling the wood from the forest. Obviously I would plant new trees where the old ones were, and since then, I've lived in my cold little log cabin, selling wood and wood products to the consumers of the town. It's an interesting life, and fun, I guess..." She shrugs a little. "Still, because of my job, I have plenty of ability to practice for the events of Aizkolaritza. I do go out of my way for practice, I mean, I never use a chainsaw, even if it probably would be a lot easier. I like my axe a lot--it reminds me of my father."
Luna;;
"Your father? Reminds you? It sounds like there's more to your past than we know for sure..." She replies in a quiet voice.
Johanna-Mae;;
"Yes Luna, there is a lot to my past..." She says, her tone somewhere between irritation and melancholy.
Luna;;
"Anything you'd care to share with us? Maybe getting it off your chest will help?" She says comfortingly.
Johanna-Mae;;
"Don't pity me!" She spits. "It makes me sound weak. I am not weak!"
Luna;;
"Jo, I promise you, no one here will see you as weak." She says with a smile, resting a hand on her shoulder.
Johanna-Mae;;
She shakes off the hand, before sighing. "Fine, but I doubt you'll like what you hear." She sneers.
"I was born to a family, you know, as everyone is. I had an older brother and my father. My mother left my father after I was born, but we were happy together, the three of us. My father was a lumberjack, and my brother made the most beautiful sculptures using some of the wood. My father always used an axe, since he couldn't afford a chainsaw." She sighs a little. "We were very poor but that didn't matter because we were as happy as any family could be. My brother and my father were both my idols. When I was little I used to take this wooden axe into the forest and pretend to cut down trees. My brother used to give me his cutoffs of wood and I would make him things. It was a wonderful life. As I grew older my father let me borrow his axe, and I remember the first tree I felled by myself, because my father picked me up, and swung me around, telling me how proud he was..."
Luna;;
"It sounds... Wonderful..." She murmurs uncertainly, the audience practically silent too. "So what happened?"Johanna-Mae;;
She sighs slightly, and finds herself looking at Luna's feet. "Well, Luna, it was summer, almost three years ago now... My father, my brother, and I went to stay at a lake together for a nice holiday. We had been saving up all year and finally had enough, so we rented a little cabin by the lake. Every morning I would wake up and watch the sun rise over the lake with my Dad..." She fights back tears, growing annoyed at herself. "We weren't supposed to swim in the lake--that was one of the main rules of the resort, don't swim in the lake. But.... My brother... He decided one day that he wanted to swim. I'll never know why but I remember my Dad's look of horror as he didn't resurface for ages... I was screaming and crying. Then he jumped in after my brother..." She stops here and looks Luna in the eye. "One minute, two minutes, five, ten. I can't remember exactly how long passed before I began to scream even louder... People came, heard my story, and called the police. They came, with a team of medics and found them. My brother had been caught in a fishing net, and my father had drowned trying to save him."
Luna;;
She is almost lost for words. "Oh my..."
Johanna-Mae;;
"Why do you think I'm so uncaring? No one can hurt me, there's no one left that I love..."
Luna;;
"I'm truly sorry that they had to leave you in such a way..." She says, still in total shock. "But someone like you must have some kind of dream, right?"
Johanna-Mae;;
"Yes of course I have a dream, of some description." She responds calmly, getting rid of her emotional haze.
Luna;;
"Would you care to give us a small snippit?" She asks, smiling.
Johanna-Mae;;
"Okay if you really want..." She agrees, sounding almost bored.
"Well, I want to live in a small cottage, by a lake in the middle of the forest. I want to own a lot of the land in the forest, so I can keep on with my lumber business. I would have a small workshop out in the forest, where I would conduct all my business from. I may live alone, but, if I could have the choice, in a perfect world, I would be married to someone who was sweet and quite caring, a contrast. They would cook, because the most I can do is a can of beans." She sniggers. "They would have a job of some sort too though, not that it would matter what it was, I'm sure they'd have their own dream." She sighs a little. "Love is weird... I don't know what sort of person would catch my eye; I've never experienced it... I'm reluctant to love anybody..." She brushes her fringe out of her face before continuing."We would wake up early together and kiss each other goodbye as they went to work, if they worked away from home anyway, and I would go to my workshop. I would spend the day working hard, cutting, chopping, and crafting, before coming home in the late afternoon. In the evenings we would usually go to bed early but on weekends we would stay up and watch a film, or TV episode together, and curl up in bed, falling asleep together. We would lie in on the weekends, I would be awake, and I would just be happy, lying there holding them..." She smiles softly. "Just knowing they were safe..."
Luna;;
"Wow, who knew someone with such a dark persona, could have such a beautiful sounding dream?" She says quietly, smiling a little.
Johanna-Mae;;
"Dark persona?" She smirks a bit.
Luna;;
She ignores the comment just made and carries on. "So, Jo, final question. Do you have any secrets you can tell us about?"
Johanna-Mae;;
She smirks a little. "You really think that I would answer this?"
Luna;;
"Jo, we want to know more about the talented girl who managed to win a tournament like you did!" She replies, exasperated.
Johanna-Mae;;
"Okay fine... Have it your way..." She says with attitude, knowing that not many people she knows will be watching.
"After my father and brother..." She coughs at this. "I have hydrophobia. I cannot go near or touch water, but I still think that a lot of the time water is pretty."
Luna;;
"So how does this affect you on a day to day basis?" She asks.
Johanna-Mae;;
"Bathing is irritating and terrifying." She spits.
Luna;;
"I understand, what else?" She says, gesturing to the bean.
Johanna-Mae;;
She sighs before continuing. "Umm.... I have a lot of nightmares, I guess?" She starts, unsure. "I hate them, it always involves either my mother or my father and brother and I usually wake up screaming or crying..." She says it without meaning to, and quickly scowls at herself. "They are so irritating! They make me look so weak!" She hisses.
Luna;;
"I assure you that we don't see it that way, Jo!" She replies with an awkward smile. "So, is there anything you've done that you've never told anyone?"
Johanna-Mae;;
"Well if I've never told anyone, why would I tell you?" She laughs, stopping when she receives a glare from Luna. "Okay, okay.... Fine... I was out shopping when I was thirteen, while my father and brother were working and I bumped into a woman. I yelled at her to watch her step but she looked up and I realized who she was. I can't remember if she needed hospital treatment or not..." She says, appearing concerned, before shrugging to show that she really wasn't.
Luna;;
"Who was she? Why did you do that?" She asks, shocked.
Johanna-Mae;;
"It was my mother. She abandoned us." She explains simply, clearly not caring. "I know exactly where she is, and if I see her again, she will receive exactly the same treatment."
Luna;;
"Well, er... I think we've heard enough for tonight. Thank you, Johanna-Mae!" She exclaims brightly, beginning to clap.Johanna-Mae;;
She stands up, stretching. "Yeah. Blah, blah, thanks a lot, have a wonderful, boring uneventful life, and follow your dreams."
Luna;;
"Thank you ve-"
Johanna-Mae;;
"I wasn't talking to you." She spits, and walks out.
Luna;;
"Alright then..." She mumbles and continues, smiling her usual interviwer smile. "Who's next?"
"Do you have any health problems?"
Rynasha: Rubs her neck uncomfortably."Yes I have Barotrauma. Which I sustained on a scuba diving tour when I was little.
"Okay. Does this prevent you from doing anything?"
Rynasha:"No. It has never affected me when I DJ." She rolls her eyes at the thought of something so little preventing her from doing anything.
"What is your favorite type of music to DJ?"
Rynasha: "Definitely Dub Step. The pounding music, the bass lines, and drops always gets me and the crowd moving."
"Would you say you are a good role model?"
Rynsha: She bursts out laughing, "Role model nope." Rynasha brushes her bangs out of her face still laughing lightly.
"Why would you say this."
Rynasha:"Because I'm not a honor student, I misbehave, I have no manners. Do you want me to go on?" She crosses her arms defiantly.
