Okay. Since I’d set it for a day and it’s almost out, figured I’d put the logic behind the choices.
Choice one is because I just. Genuinely cannot picture them ‘canonizing’ themselves as what Jon and Martin look like. It feels much more likely that they’d just use old raw recordings or re-record and have them played over the loudspeakers.
Choice two is because I cannot predict what the fuck is going to happen. But the way people are talking, it sounds like this is going to be set between Sam being pushed into the gap in reality and being spit out. We know that the tapes were used to guide the fears to the different dimensions. Ergo. As Sam is traveling, he’d ‘see’ the events. Or something.
When it comes to both prior choices, I use past episodes to mean what is on tape. I do not expect to see or hear things set during TMA that weren’t on tape. Also MEMORY is key here.
Choice three is a joke. If Jonny and AJN kiss on stage I will… idk. Record myself reciting the grand ritual???
Choice four is a long shot but connected to choice two in that Jon and Martin maybe are still in the gap in reality and haven’t found their way out. Or something. And Sam shows up. And they have a conversation. I’m working off the ‘should have taken that tea’ moment here as well cause… y’know. TRAPPED is key here.
The last is cause it’s anyone’s guess. Could be a combo of any of these. Could be none. Could be anything. Who the fuck knows. I sure don’t. And it’s driving me mad. In all sense of the word.
I truly hope they’re actually going to record and make this readily available for people. Even if I have to buy it. It’ll suck to have to wait until probably next year to see it (there’s three productions, one at the end of October, two at the beginning of November) but I guess I can deal. So long as the lucky bastards who got tickets don’t spoil the entire production. Or do in heavy detail.
