The Tower of Trials Interlude 1

Hi, everyone! This is Mab here in the Narration Room and it's time for a brief interlude. Time to get up and do some stretches, maybe get a drink for yourself.

For those of you who don't know, the Narration Room is where we add the narration to the text that we filmed in the studio and do the editing. There's no camera here so all you read is what I type.

You may have seen my previous work in Gloriously Messed-up. I played Julia. You know, the basketball player? Has a younger sister...

Okay, she didn't appear much. So I didn't get a chance to show my acting skills. The higher-ups thought that I should have more page time. But since there were no plans for more of Julia, they thought I should try out for Mab and here I am! Of course my hair has to be brown for this role. The Makeup Department did their magic for that.

Oh, and the actress for Trish played Ursula in Gloriously Messed-up.

For Io, we had a choice of either Carrie or Annie. Carrie's good at pulling off Io's wacky nature while Annie's sneaky and devious. Both important traits of Io.

In the end, we went with Carrie. Annie just can't do wacky like Carrie can. But she can give Carrie a few pointers in sneaky. So those two are gonna work together a bit until Carrie nails Io's character. The Makeup Department worked their magic again since Io is a little shorter than Mab.

So we have Fernham High's Girls Basketball Team as the Scarlet Vixens!

For some strange reason, Carrie was a bit apprehensive with the arrangement while Annie was delighted. I wonder why.

Oh, and Squirt is played by Roger from Handful of Sand. Yeah, the higher-ups wanted someone quiet yet silently tough so he fit the role. Too bad he didn't get much page time in Handful of Sand either, so you can't see much of his previous work.

Originally, we had thought of casting Gloria for the role of the main character. But she was busy with behind-the-scenes work on Handful of Sand.

That's a brief look behind the scenes at The Tower of Trials. Hope you had a good break. So please sit back and enjoy the rest of the story.
