After Prime Time in Berlin [IC/closed]

Postby European Federal Union » Thu Dec 26, 2024 3:51 pm

Seen even from the far edges of the Berlin suburbs, one of the tallest towers seeing a high spike in the crown of the Berlin suburbs, the greatest comuinication tower in the entire Union the main central of the Daily Patriot Media Agency. Beautifully glowing in the dark background of the night sky along the rest, the taller and the smaller structures on the skyline banishing the moderate darkness of the winter night. As usual for this time the sky did always seem to be quite ahead compared to what the actual clock in one’s hand or arm says, putting a night dark enough to require active street lights, while the actual time itself was merely 19:15. Still quite early in literal terms, but when drawing relative comparisons, many people where already on their way back home or waking up preparing for nightshifts, and media agencies such as The Patriot have just been one hour before of their prime time. And for todays 20:15 to 22:15 schedule those Patriot executives have already a more spicy program in order, one violently advertised and violently competed around for advertisers looking to capture on that and alongside the great story get their products heard. Prepared was an interview which would not just see one icon of the European and international TV, but also alongside the dear Miss Furina was the internationally famous or depending on one’s origin infamous Mari Makelä. Both provided with a live platform to openly share their view and answer harsher and less politically charged questions, with many tens of millions of people merely within the Union alone watching.

Specifically in preparations for that guest, the security around and inside of the building has been massively reinforced with additional guards being hired under a quasi blank check provided by internal security agencies. A mass paid leave event, with many many of the workers which had been unessicary for this interview being send home, while similar the day before any maintenance and janitor work on the building had been postponed to after the interview, while only the most important things have been performed by its most trusted and long serving workers. Consequently the building itself did surprisingly saw a significant reduction in paper waste and even toilet visits, making many people in the administration think about possibly normalising a more trimmed maintenance staff situation.

On the outside of the building with the special asylum status awarded to miss Mari, the security situation was being argumented by the states administration and the city council. Roadblocks have been erected around the building manned by the civilian police, and with parkinglots closed off and reserved for people which could not just be moved around. Some more checkpoints have been setup on the road sections leading up into the direction of the tower, those merely tasked with conduction deterrence and minor searches, while themselves more so looking at pourposes and the question of why couldn’t you just drive another way? With even additional police personnel coming in from neighbouring cities, more extensive patrols had been organised, on foot and on road with their own target priority being cars and vehicles with a renting marker or tourist marker on them. Meanwhile actual agents ceased some of the surrounding highgrounds and began patrols within the building, while other quite literally hide out of the cealing of the entrance and actually quite many portions of the building with questionable efficiency rather then just saying somewhere with guns pointing on the entrance.

However unphased by anything which was going on beyond the exterior of the building, and even quite a lot of the things which happened within. Instead she patiently sat on her seat infront of a mirror, and let her maid do the magic, painting her nails, adjusting her hair and even doing skincare prior to the makeup, a full and extensive care routine as one would expect from any famous women. Even if soon enough she gave her maid a free go, finishing off on her own while still taking some lone time to enjoy herself prior to the show. She took the remaining powder and carefully added a faint blush onto the pale skin of her checks, taking out her eyelashes case not much confidence behind a specific choice and rather experimenting with everything at hand before going back to what her maid previously suggested. This was a rather small thing and in all honesty she was well aware that regardless of what she choose, it would either be ignored or become a trend on social media by next week, but even then a natural look still felt quite boring and with her already clean and soft skin the makeup requirement bar was already quite low, and seeing one self in a mirror while someone takes care of one does seem quite comfy.

Makeup done and read through the checklist she went back into the waiting room, now all alone with a dimmed down light she just stared outside enjoying a pice of cake in the process. Questions arising and fading as she looked outside through the tainted windows, some related to this interview, while others rather opened the issue regarding the territories which she had at hand, and again others the sheer endless mountain of corruption charges she had gone through. Deep in her memory she waited, herself ready and the studio slowly preparing while as she could see through the screen in the corner the news played, and after a quite short ad break it would be time to shine for her again, the same studio the same agency and the same pre–show snack as countless times before. But still something felt diffirent, be it the guest or that one of her most dearest guests was missing still performing the mission which she had initially ordered him to perform.

Truthfully, it was Mari’s first real live television appearance. The ones she starred in back home had been received thoroughly poorly, many citizens simply opting to turn the TV off when she’d appear or even throw things at the screen. She had her initial doubts about this appearance as well, however now had a good feeling about things - she had gotten 7 hours of sleep, a good rest for Mari, and had been prepping for the broadcast for days.. standing in front of the mirror, talking to herself in the mornings to get an idea of what the questions would be like. It was all very exciting for Mari, of course, a first but hopefully a memorable one.

She was dressed in her finest military outfit, a sleek, formfitting black uniform adorned with ranks and medals and topped off by a shiny black cap, Arzelent insignia covering its brim. It was all specially tailored for Mari and was usually worn for only the most special occasions, a formal yet elegant uniform perfect for the broadcast finished by a pair of tinted sunglasses. Upholding some level of privacy was difficult for the world famous woman, but she did her best nevertheless. Kicking open the door of her car, she thanked the driver briefly and began making her way towards the building.

Mari took off her sunglasses and folded the pair down into her pocket, before grinning at the guards. “Mari Makelä. Here for the broadcast?”

The guards looked at her arrive, one of which going over to confront Mari while the second continued to look at the driver receiving security confirmation via a short hat signal. The second one went forward, shortly looking at Mari then pulling out a package of documents from his pocket, an less unfriendly version of confirming her looks given that Atleast for now she was basically unknown.

“Okay, so at first welcome to the Patriot media agency Miss Mari, we already prepared the entire building weeks in advance for your visit, and it is really an honour for us to have the honour of performing a live interview with you. The interview itself is only to begin around 20 minutes from now, or rather you should be present in the studio by then as this will be the time todays news summary is over and the ad break prior begins.“

He began to again search in his pocket not before putting back the documents at hand, searching quite deep inside before pulling out his hands again and digging into his bag. There finally after looking through a mountain of paper some magazines and a dam hand granade, he finally found what he looked for. A security badge reading VIP.

Apologise for the lengthy search, take this badge so people know not the bother you, and well so you can use the elevator and actually open any doors. Take it and go into the entrance hall, straight through to the elevator and then just use the badge it will bring you to the proper floor automatically and then follow the red lines of LED light, those will lead you into the waiting room where someone who will help you with this ordeal waits.“

The second guard in the back started to open the door and hold it, while the first one infront or her stepped aside while winking goodbye to her.

The second guard in the back started to open the door and hold it, while the first one infront or her stepped aside while winking goodbye to her.

Mari clipped the bag to her chest, straightening it meticulously so that it could be easily seen from a distance (and detached at will, of course) and looking back up at the guard. “Thank you, kindly. I’ll remember that when I go in.”

She was a little taken aback by the guard’s wink, but smiled and giggled, waving goodbye to him and nodding politely to the other man. Mari still seemed in a good mood despite the fact the interview was right around the corner, and as she entered the building, walked with a confident smile, donning her sunglasses again in the hopes of achieving an iota of privacy at least. She made her way first to the entrance hall, as directed, before boarding a free elevator and ascending to the proper floor, using her badge of course.

Once she had reached her destination, her wide eyes were illuminated by the crimson LEDs, creating a glowing effect of sorts, the natural shade of her irises replaced by that otherworldly red light. If one stood at the other end of the hall, the figure of Mari would barely have been recognisable - she was bathed in a blood-like crimson light, her pearly teeth and sleek black uniform illuminated with ominous glow. As she began to walk towards the waiting room, she appeared less of a minister of defence, more of a bloodthirsty shadow, exuding an uncaring, uncompromising evil.

Calmly she sat in her seat, now with extra dimmed light and the window right behind her, leaning into the airmchair while posing into the direction of the door. And as it began to open, as the light from the floorhal shot through the ever growing opening of the door she began to pose, now fully leaning into her arm while giggling slightly keeping her eyes looked on Mari.

“So you, are Mari if I has to guess.“

She stood up and snapped her finger, triggering the motion sensor in the room and activating the lights overhead them. She began to walk forwards Mari arm extended ready to take her hand and properly greet her.

“Welcome welcome, it is a pleasure to meet you and it is quite honorable for me to play your partner during this….. sort of live interview. My name is Furina, star in the arts of public appearance, death debating and shinning legal representive, and all beloved idole of the European people. Defender of the weak, speaker and truth and goddess of justice, the star shining brighter them the sun.“

“Pleased to meet you, Furina. Yes, I’m Mari…” she paused, trying to make up her own honorific on the spot, opting for a similarly dramatic list of titles which came off a little odd thanks to the hurried delivery. “…minister of defence, defender of BA, queen of Arz.. uh.. most beloved.. most.. admired.. err..”

Mari quickly shook her head, trying to brush off the brief embarrassment and flushing red with awkwardness, instead deciding to just shake Furina’s hand. “..anyway, looking forward to the interview? What exactly will you be doing to.. ‘play my partner’, as you so put it?”

Furina checked out Maria from down to her feet up to the hair, looking at every single Fiber of which while slowly starting to adjust individual strains of it.

“Oh well I, my role is to be your road to victory, and before talking about titles I am well aware who you are which is why I am here, I will show you to win over people’s hearts minds and feelings. However as soon as the cameras are on you should only refer to me as a neutral private individual and legal expert partaking in the interview as a consultant.“

She took Mari by the hand and pulled her into a nearby room, sitting her on a chair while starting to fresh her up, carefull soft touches with colours already very similar to her skin.

“I know who you are, and honestly I don’t care but I will also create a new you. And you are possible already aware of your public reputation as Mari the crazy and incompetent killer lady right. What if we take this craziness and instead represent you as Mari the leader of the Arzalent revolution of dignity, the women who played a game of 5D chess against the leader but has then been replaced by a figure which similarly then ceased the nation in the name of a foreign monarchy.“

Mari blinked, sighing heavily and staring up at Furina as she did her makeup. She usually didn’t like the feeling of being pampered, but accepted the gesture, sitting back and relaxing before shutting her eyes, beginning to speak. “Eh, I suppose. But.. it will be difficult. The people of BA hate me, you know? They threw tomatoes at me last time I tried to give a speech, and the next time I returned I had to be flown out to Gonswanza for my own safety. They want me dead, Furina, they can’t stand the sight of me. Not to mention the international community.. you remember last year, when the ASP tried to kill me? Who’s to say the CSL, or some other organisation, won’t try and do the same? I need sympathetic people to convince the public I’m a good person.”

She opened her eyes. “Tell me, Furina, what do you honestly think of me? Because only if I know how you see me will we be able to work together on this.”

Furina started to chuckle lightly after hearing Mari speak, and quick pulled herself back to not ruin her work.

“My my, you are really a quite negative person, but given how the past year went for you it is quite understandable.“

Furina reassumed her work, close to finishing she did the final touches and gave her a light pink lipstick and decorated her lips with those. Taking up and mirror and a lamp, she looked at Mari and asked “like it?“ taking a step back before continuing to speak.


“To answer your last question at first, I don’t know you much so I can hardly judge your character but based on what I know about you, you do seem to have great potential which is something which cannot be created making you a quite unique person.“

“And when it comes to the people of the Arz, they don’t hate you as a person as much as that what you did, when they see you everything they see and feel is the rage of the crimes you have caused, all of the merely negative actions and events which you have caused. But what if we could find a way to put them onto someone else? What do you think would happen with the hate on you if we were to blame that on someone else instead, and in the meantime presented you as a secret opposition fighter who fought against said crimes and thus resultingly has been betrayed and exiled by the government of the Arz?“

“I don’t try to be negative..” Mari murmured, glancing away. “.. besides, like you said it’s only natural. When you’ve been through what I’ve been through why would you want to be positive?” Still, her gaze eventually returned to the mirror as she admired her reflection, the makeup - albeit light - rather different to anything she had worn before. She wasn’t a big fan of being pampered, but beamed happily nevertheless, brushing a few dark strands of hair away from her eyes and continuing to stare at her reflection.. surprised.

“Oh, I look.. rather nice actually. Thank you. You think I look alright? I wore my favourite uniform and everything.” Mari uttered proudly, her decorated lips curving into a grin. She soon spoke again. “Also, I appreciate your honesty. You know, a lot of people aren’t very truthful when they give their opinions of me. They show deference, sure, but it is not true respect - only fear.”

“And we could find a scapegoat, sure.. somebody who was in government at the same time I was. We could blame the embezzlement on them, even the war crimes. Tell the public it was their fault and that I fought oh-so-hard to stop them but to no avail. So I look like a hero, right? That’s the intention?”

“…so what you’re saying is we blame Olaf, since he was the ‘hidden police’ leader at the time? I like it. The one issue is that if I voice such a sentiment openly then Arakhkhar would be prepared for an uprising and probably crush any insurgency that may occur. Their army is strong, or so I hear, and who’s to say that they wouldn’t just quell any rebellion with sheer force?”

Mari sighed, rolling her shoulders and rising to her feet to face Furina at eye level, with a little squeak of her shiny uniform.

“We need to have sympathisers in the government. People who I know are anti-Arakhkhar, maybe even enough to support me. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and all that. But it will be tricky to find a way of winning this for as long as Olaf remains backed by those purple-eyed demons. How about we just take him out on the spot and get it over and done with? If Olaf is dead then Arakhkhar won’t have a reason to involve themselves in BA’s affairs, surely. His heir may pose a problem, mind..”

“Right, right.. that should be easy enough, actually. He’s very poorly regarded among some of the government figures, and a lot of the public. If we portray him as a madman who stole power from its rightful owners, we can sow discontent among the civilians and maybe they’ll rise up if we force enough propaganda down their throats. Including the pro-me stuff as well, so that they will accept the great Mari Makelä as their rightful and most benevolent leader!” She grinned enthusiastically, talking about herself in the third person. “What do you say? Good idea, right?”

“Yes, tho we should get moving as the show might start soon, I assume the hired hackers have already managed to crack into media sites so we should get moving and try to get the thing out without any unplanned schedule changes.“

She started to walk ahead, waiting for Mari at the door frame.

Mari hurried towards the door frame, eager to begin the interview and practically brimming with excitement as she made her way there. “I can’t wait! It’ll be awesome, definitely. And the hacking should be easy enough - TV companies are too stupid to encrypt their broadcasting and internet has a firewall one brick thick. Besides, Olaf will never see it coming, so there’s little he can do as President to prevent the airing of the interview. I can only imagine the look on his face..” she chuckled darkly.

“Sure thing, so stay behind me the studio is close by just a small walk.“

Furina began to walk ahead, looking back to ensure Mari stays close behind her so she does not get lost. The studio entrance wasn’t really far away as she say, merely a short walk past two corners and one decend downstairs, and then they were there one door leading into the pre–room as the introduction was already going on.

“Just in time. So to be sure, remember our narrative and at best take a sip of water before you start speaking, but maybe it is comfortable for you to know we are operating on a 10 minute delay so even if you crash out or anything we have the possibility to remove such scenes or fake technical deficulties. But remember, try to stay rational and only show emotions in a negative way against Olaf, focus his hatred on him and all the feelings of betray from your government. Now just follow me in.“

Furina walked ahead into the studio, her shoes knocking onto the expansive wooden floor beneath, her facial expression open and welcoming looking into the different cameras and giving off a pure hearted smile into those. Half way on her walk over to the seats she them turned around winking to the live audience in the back, which promptly started to clap as the light work focused on Furina and Mari behind her, or rather as the audience instruction sign lit up on the CLAP CLAP CLAP writing. Furina sat down, while again looking back at Mari while clapping her hand down on the seat next to her.

Furina sat down, while again looking back at Mari while clapping her hand down on the seat next to her.


Mari eagerly took a seat next to Furina, waving somewhat awkwardly to the audience as she took a deep breath and readied herself for the interview. It was a new experience but not an unwelcome change, and as she sat down she felt an air of excitement mixed with apprehension at the thought of speaking in front of a live audience. Still, she kept her best poker face, not betraying her true feelings as she stretched her face into an open grin for the audience. It was somewhat unnatural in her mind, but she recognised the audience would likely be none the wiser to her plan.

One of the best things that came with being a feared dictator was the reaction of people she had only just met - most were afraid, hesitant to provoke Mari’s infamous wrath, whilst a small minority like Ortiz and (she surmised) Furina were able to see who she truly was, unfazed by the woman. In this case the crowd were clapping for her, an unusual sight for the hated politician but a very special one. She was clearly lapping up the excess of attention, pearly white teeth glinting in the lights which soon activated as her brown eyes displayed the same sensation of pride. They were applauding for her! Her, Mari Makelä!

The claps started to slowly fade away, now too the spotlight dimmed as the scene lines provided an equal illumination to the entire stage. Now the cameras readjusted, focusing on the host as she spoke and after that on Mari.

Mari smiled at the audience, and offered a small wave, eager to present an idyllic and ‘perfect’ view of her instead of the psychopath so many others saw her as. “Well, my name is Mari Makelä, and I am Arzelent. I love my country, from the spires of Arz to the mountains of Skei-Skil. I was born in Arz, and when my father was killed in the war and my mother took her own life, I was left homeless for years.” She paused, choosing her words. “Mother and father were good to me.. I don’t remember loads from then, but they.. did their best.. I’m sure some of you have heard of the Leader? He is..was..my best friend, and he took me in to live with him until we both— well, just me, actually — graduated from college. He was elected president, and I was his secretary of defence until the whole..”

Mari’s lip twitched, and for a moment she looked as if she were about to unleash a torrent of her own true feelings, although she bit her tongue. “.. ghastly business with those meddling ASP traitors. I survived, though, and I stand here today with nothing but determination in my mind. Determination to take back the country I belong to and rightfully lead!”

The studio remained silent, meanwhile a teleprompter which had been setup behind the host read “hidden police influencing your work next question” and “lack of decision freedom” in a quite tense green neon look. Meanwhile the camera adjusted to the side and looking through the studio guests to provide her with enough time to read it.

”So maybe let’s start it up not as hot, what was your job like as minister of defence before the unfortunate happening.”

Mari flushed red, embarrassed that her mini-speech wasn’t received so well. It was the first time she had done this after all, and she wiped beads of sweat from her brow, glancing around anxiously. Clearing her throat and taking a deep sip of water, Mari tried to move on and cover her embarrassment, simultaneously playing with her hair absentmindedly. It was evidently a coping method for stress.

“W-well, uh, working for the Leader was interesting. When he left for his sabbatical along with that lying scheming b— I mean, his girlfriend Clarkson, I was the heir to the proverbial throne of BA and therefore took power for a few weeks in place of him. I had to take care of the protests emerging, and did my best to please the people despite Olaf’s sick attempts to quash them as director of secret police. It was difficult to control, despite my hard work, and required as much effort as I could muster to help bring about peace and security across BA. However from there things are more hazy because of my sudden capture, which interrupted my career as I’m sure you can imagine.”

She forced a chuckle, although it came out as more of a loud, insincere laugh which cut through the studio’s deafening silence and only caused her to flush a deeper shade of crimson.

Great, now she had to make up evidence for this ridiculous claim!

Mari spoke with confidence, hiding her true anxiety. “Well, I always did my best to uphold the protestors’ human rights, since they are allowed to have their own opinions..” her eye twitched. “.. but Olaf was evil. He tried to pass an order to the secret police which allowed them to beat the demonstrators with violent force and quash them with violent tactics. I tried to stop him but he refused, pointing a gun at me until I backed down for my own safety. He falsified the documents which supposedly provide evidence of me committing such heinous crimes, and then proceeded to betray me by bribing ASP courts to try me as a war criminal, whilst he got away without any repercussions. Truly, shocking.”

“Wait, so what you are trying to say is that it was actually Olaf who was at fault for those acts, and then put them on you to save his own face. But if I remember correctly there was still a bit time which had passed inbetween the war in Frijheid breaking out and your arrest, what have you done in that time after the betray.

Once again the monitor shortly klicken on, this time reading. “rebel support” and Sabotage
