Next month is Script Frenzy. To prepare, I've been jump-roping vigorously, watching movies...
CUT-IN: Jessica attempts to jump rope, even though the rope is too small. Rope tangles and Jessica nearly falls over.

...and typing randomly. It's quite interesting to come up with scripts, and Script Frenzy is the best time to be lazy and not worry about prose. It is a time solely for narrative, action, and setting, my friends. There are times in life when it is needed.

Who invited you to interrupt my narrative?
BLOGGO
You. You just typed me into this page.
JESSICA
Well, what, are you useful for anything?
Jessica rests her chin on her palm.
BLOGGO
Plenty. For instance, it's a little weird that you're talking to yourself. Whaz wrong with you?
JESSICA
(ignoring Bloggo's question)
Well, then, do something funny.

I can burp the alphabet.
