And so now we officially end the second match of the first round, and we now know what the first match of round two will be. I don’t know how long it will take me to get the next page out to kick off the third match, but I’m hoping it won’t be too terribly long.
It’s honestly an insane bit of coincidence that our April One-Shot winner ended up being this April O’Neil-focused script, but I’m here for it. April has a unique presence in the Studio, showing up in a lot of roles (such as the Spotlight Interviews or hosting Chi-Chi’s Fan Appreciation Tour) while only getting the spotlight shone on her occasionally. For the script here it was said April should be showing up in locations from the game, but I ended up not going that route as I had some other ideas I thought would be fun. So I put her with A-ko and Goku in the room where she MC’d A-ko’s ToL match with Krillin, had her crash an Ask that didn’t happen last month, and also made use of the couch seen in the aforementioned Spotlight Interviews. I did use a game location for the last panel, though. Also they asked for some dialogue, so I provided a bit.
There’s been some interest in having Mei test out her “babies” on other Studio members, but it hasn’t worked out for one reason or another until now. I think it could be a fun idea, and probably one better suited to Dares than Asks (depending on the test subject). For Biko here, though, I thought it’d be fun to visit the idea and see if people want to see more stuff like this.
Like last month’s winner, this One-Shot script is a sequel of sorts to a previous one. In that one we saw a variety of characters in the Studio gym, but this time we focus just on A-ko as she pairs with a handful of different characters. Since this was the October script, it was specified that it should be “after hours”, hence the darker color palette than last time.
