Interview by Daema Laeksya 1023.13.20
Daema: Welcome back to my show, where I interview anyone of interest to Erebos, from one-hit wonders to beloved celebrities. I’m your host, Daema Laeksya, and today we have a TV personality familiar to most of you, the highly entertaining and hilariously quick-tempered mage who brings us moments of wonder and nostalgia each week. So, #1, tell us, who are you?
Reia: I’m Reia Vaerdas. I’m the host of Lost & Found: Pocket Dimensions on the Travel Channel.
D: #2. What’s special about you?
R: I can see traces of magic left behind after a spell.
D: #3. What’s your favorite thing about your job?
R: I get to play with magic.
D: #4. How would your friends describe you in three words?
R: Tough, smart, curious.
D: #5. What’s your favorite thing about living in Kaerisnen?
R: My friends live here.
D: #6. If you could have any other job, what would it be?
R: Something that pays better.
D: Such as?
R: A master.
D: #7. Who is the most important person in your life?
R: Ivvrai
D: Why?
R: Is that one of the ten questions or are you trying to steal my time?
D: Moving right along, #8. what’s your ideal day off?
R: Read. Eat. Drink. Hang with my friends. Simple pleasures.
D: #9. What’s been the best moment of your life?
R: Damn. I guess getting the gig as host of Lost & Found. Or getting my first paycheck as host. No, wait, it’s meeting Ivvrai. But the others were pretty great moments too.
D: #10. If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
R: Poverty. I’d get rid of it. No one should be poor. No one deserves that.
D: Very fair. Well, it was nice to meet you, Reia. I’m sure our audiences will love learning more about you.

This is awesome. I did a little research and was able to learn more about Reia. The perspective is one I hadn’t thought of, and I think it’s brilliant! Will you be doing other interviews in your series?
Yes! I’m planning to do interviews for some other characters including Erelinn from the film Lost & Found: Pocket Dimensions and the Head Master of the Master’s Academy, Elsie Reivores.
Hello Lillian,
That is such a cool idea to have your characters participate in the interview! I love this approach because it creates a vibe that makes them feel like living, breathing people rather than just figures in a story. It gives them a real sense of agency.
I also appreciate that you provided both a sound clip and a transcript. Offering multiple formats makes the content so much more accessible for everyone. Aside from the audio interviews, are you planning to include any video clips?
Thank you Yelena! Unfortunately the production costs of video clips are much higher as I need to make costumes and find a set, so right now I’m going to stick to audio and text, but I do have a short film set in this universe that I’m working on editing right now, so that will be up later this year.
