Portray yourself on a bus. If it’s hard to, you probably ineligible for this interview but you can choose to give it a try anyway.
Are you alone?
Yes.
Did you pay the bus fare?
Yes I did.
Where are you sitting? ( Single seat right behind the driver / in the backseats / aisle / window / on the floor… )
To the unknown at the borders of the Universe.
What time of the day is it and what are you looking at? ( Your phone is not an option. No, you can’t reply you looking at someone else’s )
Afternoon. I’m watching the infinity contemplating the existence.
Are you listening to anything? If yes, what are you listening to?
I’m not listening to anything, don’t like to be distracted.
Where on the map are you and where are you going?
In different places in the city to an appointment, a date, a casting; to the set this map is confusing.
Do you have any food or drink on you? If yes, what? ( Edibles aren’t food )
An orange.
What are you wearing? ( Free misinterpretation - beauty is in the eye of the beholder as malice is )
Something casual I don’t want to stand up and get anxious.
How would you approach the stranger you are making eye contact with?
I never approach strangers but if I have to I would touch the stranger with my eyes first, then a “hello”.
What’s in your pockets?
Garbage accumulated in search of garbage can.
If the bus crashes, what would be written on your headstone? ( Or commemorative instagram post )
A rare Avis in perpetual search out of the box…
In the Backseat of the couch. Check it out.
