Interview with Captain Tallia


Question: You said once that acting was not in your nature.

Answer: I did? Really?

Question: You did say that, are you denying that you said that? It seems like a strange thing to deny.

Answer: I dunno. I might have said that. That does seem like something I would say. Sometimes my memory can be a littler foggy. Ever since the accident and all.

Question: Accident?

Answer: Yeah. Deutzia fell on top of me when we were filming the climax to book two…or I drank some really bad grog…not sure which, actually.

Question: So, if acting is not in your nature, why do it?

Answer: Well, what I probably meant was that it has always been strange for me to be in the spotlight, to be in front of an audience. It doesn’t come naturally to me.

Question: But you are an actor.

Answer: I suppose.

Question: By choice?

Answer: Not really, it’s just something I started doing to pay the bills.

Question: Do you have a lot of bills?

Answer: Oh yeah, acting school, performance academy, oration instruction, private theater tutors, it all adds up really quick. I basically owe my soul to the Book Actors Guild.

Question: I don’t mean to sound combative, but it sounds to me like you went out of your way to become an actor.

Answer: Does it? I dunno. Might have just been some bad grog.

Question: So, we have a problem?

Answer: I suppose.

Question: And I’m guessing it’s not going to be solved during this interview?

Answer: You don’t know the half of it. I’m not even sure where I am right now. Might have been…

Question: …some bad grog?

Answer: What? No, I have a learning disability, you insensitive jerk.
