((Inspired by this thread: Q&A With James D. MacAvoy. I wanted to bring Pious to a hotseat and see how he would do with random questions. Be nice! ))

The lights on the long-running TV show returned to full brightness as the audience welcomed back the host Tracey Lionheart from a commercial break. Sat on the sofa next to her was the Reverend Pious Hunter.

"Welcome back, this is the Friday Night Talkshow with me Tracey Lionheart" said the corset-clad blonde in her trademark sultry voice. "Hollywood's favourite television show where we bring you Paragon City's heroes for all manners of interrogation. Our next guest is a world renowned hero, a beacon of light if ever there was one. Ladies and gentlemen please give a warm welcome the legendary, the resplendent, Reverend Pious Hunter!"

"Thank you" Pious greeted, blushing to the hail of applause as the cameras trained on him. "It's great to be here. I'm a big fan of the show."

"There has been some very interesting tweets since we announced you'd be appearing on the show, mostly questions about what's being done since the attack on Saint John's school, but lets get started with questions from the audience, then we'll move on to live callers and forums."

"Sure, I'm ready... I think" Pious joked.

"Erm, let's get the microphones to that person over there please" Tracy asked, "yes, what's your question?"

Only fifteen minutes into the show and the Priest found himself already swamped by questions on Open Season and the terrorist attack on St. John's.

"I completely agree" the Reverend began. "This war just seems to continue raging on endlessly like a wildfire. Forever spreading. Burning everything in it's path. Feels like a lifetime but it was only four months ago that the undead declared bounty on hunters. A secret government of the highest calibre of Vampire set about to assassinate every hero thought to be a demon hunter or monster basher. It was a real shock. Of course we hit back and when we did, countless demons were forever banished. Some semblance of peace was achieved between Nighthunters and Court of the Blood Countess but still the bounties lived on.

"It's been six weeks since the terrorist attack on St. Johns Catholic School. The House of Bathory was framed for it but we now have the identity of the true mastermind; a mentally unstable child entrepreneur who goes by the name of Tomb. We think it was all an attempt to invoke fear and hatred of vampires and the undead. Due to some misguided sense of morality, the girl wanted the world to turn on the Blood Countess but her evil plan was foiled. Tomb must be brought in. Especially since declaring her own counter-bounty on the undead. Of course this greatly muddles the waters and complicates everything. There is blood on the streets because of renegade mercenaries making hits on both hunters and monsters in order to cash in big time. Before this, all that concerned us was shielding the hunters from both monster and mercenary attacks. Now it's all up in the air and everyone is at each other's throats. There are no longer any easy way to tell who needs protection and who needs incarceration. The only way out is to find Tomb and stop the counter-bounty and also to convince the Vampire Council that things were better off for them before the Open Season. The fighting has just got to stop.

"I hope that covers most of your questions on this particular topic... were there any others? General questions, personal question, religion-related I don't mind."
