Breaking: Zebra consents to an interview

 

 Breaking: Zebra consents to an interview with the Midnight Dagger.

By the editorial board of the Midnight Dagger

After a recent spar that occurred between the Midnight Dagger and the Portvalatvian Times, which was spearheaded by The Mantle and Zebra, we got tired and decided to take a break. As we were munching on venison and pies, the Mantle suddenly thought of a brilliant joke. We would send Zebra a request for an interview. We drafted it as follows:

Hello, Zebra. This is The Crown, The Mantle, The Hat, The Umbrella, and The Briefcase. We are the editorial board of the Midnight Dagger. We have decided to invite you to an interview. If you do not accept, the Skies will turn purple, the Grass will taste like Mustard, the Trees will turn yellow, and we will all call you stupid again.

We intended this purely as a joke, and we drafted our apologies beforehand. But then, contrary to all expectations, Zebra accepted. This surprising development took us all by shock. We then started our preparations. We drafted our speeches, wrote our questions, and apologized profusely to Zebra's Public Relations Department. We planned the interview as follows: Zebra will sit in a chair on one end of the room, on top of a mat, with sufficient towels nearby, just in case. The five Authors of the Midnight Dagger would sit on the other side, with pen, paper, and stacks of books. They would sit in a sort of semicircle, so that each Author would be the same distance away from Zebra.

We prepared all our materials. We wrote our speeches, drafted our questions, read Zebra's books (no easy task) and predicted his answers.

We will post later updates and will publish the interview. Stay posted.
