Welcome to town. Hi listeners, this is Victoria here and welcome back to
Cryptic Cape. Today we have a little bonus episode for you in preparation for
season five. Today we have two of our lovely voice actors joining us,
hanging out, chit chatting and talking about their experience of being on the show.
So I will allow them to introduce themselves. Arden, would you like
to go first? Sure? Hi, my name is Arden Fitzroy. I
play Mari and I don't know, I've loved being bought of this experience.
Hello. I am Amy A. Sabato, and I played Juliet and I
get paid for this, so I can say I'm a voice actor who exactly.
My next question was gonna be who do you guys voice? But you
answered that? But would you like to give us a little description? I
guess in your own words, who your characters are? So, also known
as Marie. It depends on the vibe of the day. Is a plane
walker, which is the show's terminology for a type of necromancer essentially, which
I think is super cool and also a kind of Nancy Drew type. I
think they're living in a world and everyone else's cohabiting it. Marie is the
main character. Main character syndrome. How about Juliet. So I played Juliet
and she's like a little oh my god, what's the word, like sprite,
like fairy. I think I call her a pixie. Pixie, that's
the word, thank you. I was like, what is it? Pixie?
And she's kind of like a little aspiring journalist and she's almost kind of
like Ava's like annoying little sister, and that she kind of wants to do
the same work that she does, and she means well. And sometimes she
can be a little bit sassy, get in the way a little bit,
but um, she's doing her best. She means well, and she wants
to have fun. I feel like Juliet very much started off as the annoying
younger sister Vibe and is now just like everybody's favorite. I mean, you
said it, not me. It runs the show. I also adore the
fact that, like for both of your characters, I originally didn't intend for
either of them to really be like main characters in any sense, and now
I'm like, no, I love Arton and Amy too much that I need
to keep writing for them. But your characters have become more integrated into the
main storyline because I was just like, I need to keep them around too
good. Yeah. I remember when I auditioned for this. I think there
was a call out somewhere and it was for it was for like a one
line or two liner. It was English parents, and I think in hindsight
it would have been like one of the new comer lockans a come across,
comes across in the grocery store and the I think the audition mine was literally
something like I'm sorry, well, the Jeffer cakes. And I was like,
yeah, I can do this. This falls within my remit and it's
all it's all snowballs from there. I was just looking for the jeff cakes,
you know what I mean exactly? That reminds me that line specifically.
I had a question for you later, Arden, but we can we can
talk about it now because it's a good transition. But you are from the
UK. Are you originally from the UK? Yeah? Right, yeah,
yeah, And sadly, I mean we're both living in America. It's a
little right, yeah. Yeah, it's not. Neither is great. It's
just not going great. It's not going great. But I just think it's
funny, Like there's some moments where we're in recording, and you're like,
um, I don't know if if I don't know if mar would say this,
because it's not really a thing like did you want to talk about any
of that stuff of like the inconsistencies between like it's usually a lot of slang
slang that Marie would be saying versus stuff that like I, as an American,
I'm like writing into the script. I just think it's always yes.
So that's actually really interesting and a little bit of I think it involves a
lot of examining the characterization because yes, some of the slang used maybe American,
but ma Is is a person who has recently emigrated to the US,
so they may want to fit in, they may want to use this kind
of language, and let's not forget because of the effects of American culture and
globalization, like we say stuff like that too over here. So I think
there was one case where there was a reference made to Cello being Hella smart,
and you asked me like, would Maria say that? And I was
like, well, we can whine not. I think they would use that
because we do sometimes use that here and yet maybe it sounds silly in our
little voices, but I'm also really amused by those little moments that I kind
of ask you, I kind of take you aside before we record and ask
you, look, should I say oregano or oregano here? Because clearly oregano
is the right way to say it, but I take I totally take the
lead from my director, you know what I mean. Yeah, so that's
a lot of fun. Yeah, I had forgotten the like, yeah,
there's like slight pronunciation stuff too, and like we haven't said it in the
show, and I'm not going to write it in because aluminum and aluminium is
a fight, that's a that's an article. Gloves are off, gloves are
off. I mean, I don't know, it might become relevant if the
last scene of season five is High Council versus the gang in the in the
I don't know, plutonium factory or like I don't know, something along those
lines, the aluminium what whatever. But but yeah, I think that is
just such It's such a small but a rewarding part of the process for me
because it just makes you think about how your character would be like in a
different culture to what they're accustomed to, and it's like a really rewarding side
of Marie to kind of explore because it doesn't it's not in the text so
much with how they kind of because they don't talk about being discombobulated or whatever
in a new environment. But it's something that's very much fair, and I
think it's in language as well, So that's really interesting to me. This
has been a very waffling response, but this was a thought I have had.
No. I love it. I love hearing like one of my favorite
things as a writer on a show like this where like we get to,
i don't know, like spend a not insignificant time with like like a good
amount of characters. I feel like, you know, offers the main character,
but we have kind of an ensemble cast almost, and like since a
lot of them keep coming back, like we get to spend a lot of
time with them and everything, and like getting to see you guys kind of
make your characters your own is very fun and like because like when I'm writing,
I kind of like I'm just the kind of person where when I'm writing
or when i'm reading, I kind of like hear it in my head and
stuff like that, and I like I'll hear it kind of in your guys's
voices, and then you go and we're recording and you take it a totally
different way that I didn't even think about, and I'm like, oh my
god, I love that even more. That's awesome, you know, and
stuff like that with little characters visions of like oh yeah, like mar would
have like held onto these slang terms, but maybe for these ones, they're
like kind of trying to be more American and cool and like because they're living
in American now. You know, it's very fun. I like it speaking
of acting choices and acting and you know, voice and all the all the
stuff that we do here. Can you guys tell me a little bit about
any other acting or voice acting stuff that you do, experiences that you've had.
I know, I think I think you guys are coming from significantly different
places as far as like how much you've acted before, and I think that's
fun and interesting. Most of my acting experience actually came from acting in productions
that you created when you were younger. For anyone who does not know,
I am Vicky's younger cousin. And actually how I originally started doing the show
was you kind of had like everyone in our family had like a little like
cameo and then you're like, your role might be just like a little bit
bigger. Like you said earlier, you weren't planning on it being this big.
And then you were like, hey, do you want to keep doing
more seasons? And I was like, oh my god, that's kind of
really scary. I don't think I'm that good, but like, sure,
whatever, if you want me to, I will. There is a I
think it's still on my YouTube channel. Back if you go back a little
while, there's a video of Amy and three of her friends in a short
film called When Life Gives You Lemons where they make a lemonade stand. Her
and her friend have a lemonade stand and there's two competing lemonade stand girls.
And it's very fun. It's very that's so sweet. I need to watch
this. It was very fun. I still show it to my friends whenever,
Like I'm talking to my friends, I'm like, did you guys know
that you're best friends with like a viral YouTube sensation? Yeah? So,
very limited acting experience, but I think that the notes you've given me,
I've gotten pretty all right. How about you, Arden, I know you're
you're a thespian. Ah, Yes, this is when you get me on
and I kind of deliver that's kind of John Gielgood's on the podcast sort of.
Yes, when I was in the National at the time of Olivier in
the nineteen sixties. Yes, it's it's true. Acting is what I do
for a given definition of what that means. I've done voice acting mostly commercially,
which means that if you work for a certain corporation that a lot of
your e learning will be delivered by why is Marie suddenly telling me how not
to be a dickhead at work to people who are not like me? So
if you work at any of those corporations, which I don't think I should
name here, so I won't, but yes, you might hear the voice
of Marie. Also in terms of voice acting, I actually produced a podcast
and this is going to be like a sub plug, just really subtle.
I sweat wherever you get your podcasts. I produced a podcast for an art
organization called the Rise Collective season called Queer Joy on their Amplify podcast, and
it was actually the culmination of a six month development and mentorship program for young
trans and non binary people wanting to get into audio. So that exists as
well, and it's it's the proudest I've been because the work that these people
have created is just incredible. And I would encourage you to listen to it
because it's talking about experiences of what it's like to be trans or non binary
in the UK spoiler alert. It's all great, but it's also sharing joy
and celebrating each other's artistic achievements and platforming people who may have not had a
voice before. But going back to your original question, Yeah, I'm an
actor. I trained in rose Bruford College. Most of the stuff I've done
has been stage, so really harkening back to that, this is why I
turned into John Gielgud again. Yes, yes, I played Macucio. Yes
I've played this. Yeah, but yeah, going back to that kind of
classical acting experience and maybe coming to screens and near you soon who knows,
who knows kind of there you go, and uh yeah, I will definitely
link that podcast in the episode description because I think everybody should go listen to
it. So we've talked a little bit about your characters. How has it
been playing these characters? And I think there's there's a uniqueness to your guys's
characters compared to a lot of the rest of the cast, where both of
you guys are older than the characters you're playing. They're both like, oh
gosh, I can't remember the ages but their teens, you know. As
someone who is just playing basically myself because Alva's just me, I imagine it,
it's a bit of a different experience playing a younger person. So I'm
not sure what you mean, my dear, I'm not a day over fifteen
or else that skincare company has been ripping me off. But no, just
because I've started yaking already, I'll just say, first of all, it
was. It was really interesting because it kind of brings to light how you're
playing age in person is very different to the playing age of your voice.
Because I think one of the reasons you picked me for Mari is because you
said there was a youthful quality to my voice, and I'd never thought of
it that way, and that has vastly expanded my sort of cursting type ideas.
So thank you You've given me another like ten years. Yeah, that
was really interesting, but also it was really nostalgic getting back to that that
mindset of like the high school supernatural almost like a less intense stranger things vibe.
So that's really cool and just goes to show how audio is such a
versatile format because you may be able to play people who you may not necessarily
be able to play on screen, despite the fact that I really don't look
a day over fifteen, right right, I guess for me, I kind
of like when I started doing this, was closer in age to Juliet than
I am now, and I think having like limited acting experience, it was
like a little difficult because, as like Arden said, since it's voice acting
and you're not like there physically, I almost kind of like tended to want
to do like higher pitched things with my voice, but it's like, okay,
like she's fifteen, she's not five. But it was like fun because
she was just basically like a younger but like i'd say, definitely more spunky,
an outspoken version of myself, you know, Like so I don't know,
it was kind of like fun and like easy at times because she's so
similar to myself, but then at the same time different because like I said,
she's a lot more wild card, a little wild child than I ever
have been and probably ever will be. Yea Juliette makes some choices that are
like, yeah, let's do it, let's let's summon a demon, and
I'm like, I wish I was that brave at like fourteen. Yeah,
they're they're definitely choices. But there's such a gag though, because in a
way, in a way, they're all kind of enabling each other, but
they're all kind of supporting each other as well, and I love that.
Yeah, I'd love to hear in general, like what ways do you guys
tend to relate to your characters or ways that you definitely don't. And also,
you know, is there any character on the show that you would say
is more similar to you? I'd say similar, I say kind of.
The most glaring one for me is that she wants to be a journalist.
I am studying broadcast journalism at college the University of Oklahoma Boomer sooner, So
that's kind of the most similar thing, I'd guess, And also like kind
of I guess my sister would probably argue the annoying younger sibling thing, you
know, when she was like in high school and I was in middle school,
just wanted to be like, oh, you and your friends are so
cool. I want to hang out with you guys, and her being like
or sixteen year eleven like go away, you know, so those little things.
But like I said before, obviously different and that she's a lot more
like outspoken and kind of I don't know, she doesn't really have and I
mean this in like the best way possible. She doesn't really have like a
filter. It seems like like just like whatever's in her head, like she
kind of lets out and she doesn't care what other people really think or say
to her. And sometimes, of course that will get her into trouble when
it comes to like summoning demons and like putting her friends lives in danger.
So you know, maybe she could work on that. But at the same
time, I think that's what makes her so fun as a character. And
it also makes sense because she is only like fourteen fifteen years old, so
I mean, like not many fourteen or fifteen year olds really have that kind
of you know, our brains aren't fully developed to really be making those types
of decisions. As far as other characters go, I do really think that
I am the most similar to Juliet. The only I could kind of maybe
really say is Avra. I guess and a little. But I mean I
do think that Juliet, like I said, is essentially me, just younger
and more out there. Yes, So just to just to kick that off,
I I completely am like mar In that I am very much a necromancer.
I am accrypted. Yes, the truth comes out on the record,
Yeah I knew it. Yeah Yeah. After this, I got a I
got a call with a chaos plane. Yeah totally so yes, in that
way with someone now. But for real, um, I really relate to
Maury's sense of mischief. I would say is the word, because yeah,
they're a little bit chaotic, but it's been nine because I think underpinning all
that is um real love and respect and loyalty to their friends. And I
kind of really relate to that because maybe they would be judged as a kind
of rebel rouser, as someone who's maybe not got the best intentions, but
they always have and I feel like that's been me at certain points of my
life, especially when I was a lot more chaotic, but in a nice
way, in a nice way. I feel that also ma has no filter,
and as I think you may have been able to discern throughout this episode,
I can relate to that it's important to be self aware. What can
I say? And also there's a point in which, like I can't even
remember what it was about, but they were like, oh, well you
still will pack a gum or whatever, and they were like, yeah,
I like anarchy. That's that's the vibe, you know what I mean?
Like I didn't steal any gum for the record, but if there are any
other characters I can vibe with, yeah, yeah, I really feel Francy
and see too, I feel has that same sense of the surface is different
to what's on the inside kind of thing, because you would think that he's
somebody like maybe at times flippant or like doesn't worry too much, but it's
the facade hides like a whole lot of care and concern and a lot of
worry. So yeah, I say that too. Also just for you guys
to know, I have been I hope you're not hearing that, like discord
like mute and unmute sound constantly. They're cutting through the wall again, so
I have to just keep muting for the whole wall. They haven't gone through
yet. We just see a chainsaw come through on this side where the like
whiteboard is just like before we continue real quick. Sorry, I was going
to take my breal. Would you guys be okay with being in it?
Yes? Yeah, that yeah, go for it. While Amy takes her
be real, We're gonna take a quick ad break in a similar but different
thing, which I guess could be said about all things, but in a
kind of similar rain. Um, who if you have one? Who is
your favorite character besides your own? Oh, this is a toughie, you
know, with a show like that. As you said before, it is
an ensemblecast and it kind of becomes like a friends group that you drop in
on, like especially as time passes over the years and you hear that that
theme song what is it Pink Night in Ohio? And it's like, all
right, we're gonna see the team now. But this is a bit of
a cop out answer, I realized, So Amy over to you. While
I think of an actual answer, I would say it is hard. I
think Officer Jenkins is just pretty like just like comedic relief, and like,
you know, he's tried to be like sometimes like you know, I'm serious,
this is like law enforcement, but then you know, goofy silly stuff
always ends up happening. So I'd just have to say Officer Jenkins definitely,
because I mean there definitely are moments where, like, you know, things
are or try to be you know, serious. But then also the fact
that you can always kind of rely on him to be there for some sort
of you know, comedic relief I think is and also like one of the
like og kind of like Day One characters too. He's a constant when everything's
going crazy in Water's Edge. You can always count on Officer Jenkins. Sometimes
I forget he's a cup right. Yeah. Mikey plays him so fun too,
because like his Mikey's not an actor either, and he's been on one
of these Q and I before listeners. Y'all should go listen to it if
you haven't, because it's absolutely hilarious. Him and Roger Chris. They were
absolute chaos together. His whole thing about Officer drinks and I'm like, you
know, how to play and he's like hmm, tired and over this ship.
Yeah exactly, that's his whole vibe. Oh gosh, I need to
listen to that again because I do remember hearing this episode and like actually laughing
out loud, but like, yeah, Roger, I love Roger and Kenzie
was such a great addition, like just incredible depth to their character. Like
I think, oh, I think it was the first time that I like
loved and hated someone at the same time on this show. Yes, Minnie
just was perfect. And of course Nessie oh NeSSI yeah, gotta gotta shout
out Nessie. You guys have been in a large amount of scenes at this
point. Were there any scenes in particular that stood out to you when recording,
like for being either like something that was kind of difficult to record,
or like something that was really fun or like weird and hilarious or whatever,
you know, like any any stories from that that you'd like to share.
I guess well, I mean obviously like recording over Memorial Day weekend, when
a lot of us were fortunately able to be like actually there in person.
That was really cool. Of course we missed you arden able to like,
you know, see most of people in person, or even if it wasn't
in person, like able to like zoom them in because most of the time
when you're recording, you're like by yourself with Vicky and VALVICKI does a wonderful
job at playing all the other characters in the scene. It is nice to
get to actually like act with those other people that you hear yourself talking to
in the scenes, and that made it really fun. But one thing I
remember was I believe this was I believe this was like in my senior year
of high school, like earlier before I graduated, because I remember being at
home in my room recording it, and I think it was like the end
for season three year season four, and I had this long, little kind
of monologue that I went on and there was one word that kept screwing me
up. I think it was the name of a book, and I couldn't
stop laughing. And we were like, we'll just go to another scene and
come back to that at the end. But I just couldn't stop thinking about
when I had messed up and it kind of screwing me up, and I
felt so bad because I was like Vicki's probably like, oh my God,
just like please I get this it done like I work with professional voice actors,
the love of God, that I was just I couldn't and finally I
think we got it. Probably might have been a little rough, and then
I think eventually I was able to calm down. But I just remember not
being able to like keep it serious when recording that. So that was pretty
funny. I don't know why that whatever the word was threw me off.
I can't remember what it was the name of, like some book or something.
The book that seller wrote is through the Cracked Glass. Yeah, that
like screwed me up for some reason. I just couldn't. I couldn't get
it. It was so funny, though it was once, once we actually
got the good one, it was funny, you know. I remember the
time being it might not have been. It was like, oh my god,
let's just get this done, like she needs this. But looking back,
it was pretty funny. I mean there's always like everybody always has that,
like that one word in a random scene where it's like, why can't
I say this? Yeah, oh gosh. So Stephen Fry has this anecdote
he keeps breaking out about when he was doing the audiobook for The Boy Wizards
of the Okay, well let's not go into that, but but shut there
was this this sentence that he always mentions is the most difficult thing he's done
in his entire career, and it was something like Harry pocketed it and he
just could not say it. And he keeps using it as a kind of
anecdote. But yes, in answer to your question, I just loved recording
the heist. Well, it wasn't a heist, but the season four end
game let's break other out of like a freaky memory hospital to wipe her mind
that moment, because well it was live with everyone in the room, which
was really amazing and fun for me because I hadn't worked with everyone before at
the same time, and it looked really well on my end, I just
had to do my base, but it looked like it was really difficult to
coordinate that recording because it was like, what eight characters, Oh my gosh.
Yeah, I really love to write myself into extremely difficult scheduling situations.
I'm the writer, I don't have to do this, and I'm like,
no, I need all ton of them there. Yeah, it was amazingly
fun and like I think it was the best way to do it though,
because the energy was so live and it was so there. It wasn't like
we were all in separate hermetically sealed studios not knowing who's saying wat and like
when I had to deliver the line, like I think it was room twenty
two, and it was all really urgent and everything's depending on me to save
room twenty two so that everyone can get the room number. It was actually
real in that moment. So yes, it's it's great when you're acting.
Doesn't really need to be acting, you know, makes a job. But
I think this is such a minor thing, but I think a process.
I really amused me was like, not necessarily amused, but I really enjoyed
recording my very first lines in the first half of season three, because there
wasn't much for the first kind of appearance of Marie. It was something like
they were kicking a football around. It landed in front of Ava and the
crew and they were basically being handed the football back. It was like two
lines, and you gave me the choice of recording it remotely or jumping on
a call with you, and I just wanted to meet you and like see
who I'm working with. So I was like, yeah, let's do that.
And I remember, oh, it's so important to laugh for oneself.
But I remember going all like, oh, I'm a serious actor and being
all like, how would you like me to deliver this line? And it
was something like thank you bye or something. Yeah, it was like it
was only just like a couple of lines for some inside. On the flip
side of that, I have had many conversations with many like real professional actors
like yourself, where they've been like, oh, yeah, like how do
you want me to like take these lines? Or like how are you like?
My main response is usually like giving context about the scene, and then
they're like, how did you like that? And I'm like that was great.
I love that, you know, because like I went to school for
directing. I don't know what I learned there, but it wasn't a lot.
Let's be real, It's like, what what's the underlying pathos here?
What are we? What is the given circumstances of the character's entire lifespam?
And that reminds me of of a show that's pretty big here, and I
would really encourage you to watch it if it's available to you. It's called
Toast of London. It's on Netflix here. It starts Matt Barry, who
you may know of What we Do in The Shadows, the TV show.
He plays Laslow craven Worth. It's basically an homage to the whole acting industry
in specifically in London and theater especially, so one of the first scenes is
him in a recording studio, recording audio for a commercial and the line is
yes, and you literally hear him there like with his extraordinary Matt Berry voice
going yes, yes, and then the producers like, oh, can you
say that with a little bit more, you know, a little bit more
junis aqua and He's like yes, yes, yes, and it continues and
continues, and it's it's a whole meme. It's a whole meme. It's
like, do you hear me Clem fandango if you've ever heard that, that's
where that's from. So that's what I felt like in that moment. I
was just Matt Mary going yes, as if I'm like a soliloquy from Henry
the Fifth or whatever. Yeah, thank you for handling me that football.
I am so genuinely glad though that we did do that little those couple of
lines on I don't remember from Discord or Zoom or whatever, but on an
actual video call like together, because that's when I was like, oh,
I need to have them back. Okay, we're writing. We're writing Maria,
thank you, a sonorous thank you. You know. The show is
called Cryptid Cape. It's about cryptids. What are your thoughts on cryptids,
just in general, any thoughts. So cryptids, cryptures are the issue,
and so I love cryptis. The use of cryptis is such a great way
of telling the story, especially about the ways that people are marginalized, bearing
in mind that a lot of the characters and the curse on this show are
like marginalized along other intersections, and the fact that being encrypted is something that
I think most of us can relate to when we are in environments where we
are not represented by the majority. I think it's creates a really fun sense
of community in that, like, let's all vcrypted together. Does that make
sense? Because also it touches on this thing that Guillermo del Toro does very
well, which is kind of reclaiming the monster and why do we relate to
monsters and what do monsters actually mean in our culture? And are they actually
something to fear or do we just fear that presence brings out in ourselves.
No, that was so eloquent. I honestly I can't remember where my headspace
was when I first started writing this, but like, so I can't.
I can't be like, yes, this is what the author intended in the
beginning, but I realized after like at least the first season, I was
like, Oh, I'm kind of writing cryptids as an allegory for many things,
but yeah, like as an allegory for generally like being a marginalized person
in certain situations, it changes like it parallels more to something like having a
disability in a space that is not accessible, or or being queer in a
space that is majority like straight insists, and even like being in a different
like culture, or like like being like being immersed into a different culture where
you don't where you aren't familiar with what's going on, or being a person
of color. You know, and there's like different situations where like some of
those come out. But I was like, oh, I kind of like,
I guess I just did it a little bit subconsciously in the beginning.
I would love to give myself credit of being like, oh, yes,
the meaning of the story, but like and it's it has become more of
a purposeful thing. But but also cripses are cool, and that's cool if
that's all you meant by it at first, you know what I mean.
Also, you use a lot of like kind of folklore and mythology that's lesser
known in kind of the Western paradigm or whatever, like like Roger being a
tree giant. That's from Filipino folk law, isn't it. Yeah, I
think it's called a capri. I'm probably pronouncing that very wrong, but that's
what it's known. Who else is there? I mean we have some of
the classics like Werewolves and the Jersey Devil. Jersey Devil, Yeah, the
Jersey Devil. Because of the show, I realized that nobody except for the
people that grew up in New Jersey, now what the Jersey Devil is.
I knew what the Jersey Devil was because I remember there was there was this
PlayStation game on the original PlayStation, likely like proper Old School, and it
was this little I think it was. That's that's game developers answer to crash
bandicoots. Obviously it doesn't take off, but it was like the Jaersey Devil,
and it was like a really cute platform. So that's how I knew
what the Jersey Devil was. That sounds amazing and now I want to find
it and play it. It was. It was really difficult too, but
like I was like a baby. So Amy, what are your opinions on
encryptids and that's a that'sn't anything question, So you can say whatever you want
about tell me the big Foot's real. I just think it's like cool to
like learn about a bunch of different thems, even if it is like mythology
or like you know, folklore kind of thing, and it's like maybe people
believe they're real. Maybe some people don't think they're real people. Maybe people
think it's kind of like, you know, silly business whatever. But like
I just think it's cool to like listen to all the different like backstories they
all have and then kind of see those things like personified and like the way
that obviously you've used what's like been said about them on like tails and like
stuff like that, like over time to develop them, but also like taking
your own little spin and kind of like creating like a certain way that you
think that they would like behave. So I think that's really cool. And
then also just like I feel like now I just kind of like notice things
like I sent you a picture of this car that had a bumper sticker that
was like will break for cryptids, and I was like, oh my god.
Now I start like noticing like other people or other shows or like forms
of media that are kind of like cryptids and so just like, I don't
know, kind of cool just to see, like you know, and then
also kind of like what you guys were saying, like the way Ovrea comes
into this, you know, as like a human and just kind of seeing
how she like interacts with all of them and discovers it and is actually fortunately
very accept and loving of all of them when they feel like they need to
be hidden. I love the way that um others pretty generically like a human
in the in the she as she said many times in season four and we'll
say many times again in Susan five, she is the most normal of humans
that you could possibly be, and yet that somehow, even in like like
the cryptids themselves are kind of outsiders to like regular society, and now she
has even become kind of almost like an outsider to the society she has like
found herself in. And it's just everybody's out of place all the time.
But everybody loves you because it's my world, damn it. And I can
make it how I want. I'm calling, I'm calling, I'm calling Fakonava
being a human. I don't know, I don't know. I feel like
that that's that bridge has not quite I feel like we're still in the middle
of that bridge. To play with that metaphor, so I feel actually speaking
of that change of subject, well that was where the other question was kind
of leading. Um, so season five is going to be our last season,
and I have a lot of complicated feelings about that, mainly pushing those
aside and worrying about how I'm going to finish season five. You know,
I have to write it, and I know how it's ending, but there's
some things that are still like question marks in that vein of me still not
knowing all the answers. What would you guys maybe either like to see in
the last season or what do you think is going to happen in the last
season, any predictions any and also just thoughts about this being our last season
after I mean, you guys have been on since season two or three,
respectively. So showdown in the nuclear plants uranium, plutonium, aluminium, aluminium,
cancel aluminium alum Oh no, oh, no, it's getting to be
Yes, that's what's gonna happen. Amy, I have no I don't know.
I just hope everyone like survives and it's okay. And happy and like,
you know, I don't know what I like. I don't know.
I just feel like there's like so like I know this sounds like a generic,
like cough out answer, but like genuinely, there was like so much
that could like just spaced off the way, like you know, Season four
kind of ended, like I don't know, it really could like almost,
I guess this could be like a good promotion. Anything can happen, you
know. As for how I feel about it ending, it is kind of
sad because I mean, like it is, you know, like a fun
little thing. Like obviously it's not like constant like all the time, but
like I do like enjoy when you know, I get to like recording stuff
because it's just fun to be like, oh, I'm an actor for like
you know, an hour and a half or something, and then you know,
doing those things like we did last year was like recording with everyone else.
It's just fun. And then when I get to like listen to it
when it premiers and like how everything like all comes together is really fun.
So I'll definitely like miss it. But yeah, I just hope everyone survives
and is happy and healthy and everyone's dreams coming true. Yeah, I'll really
miss it too. It's been so wonderful getting to know you all and kind
of becoming a residence of Water's Edge and just kind of getting attached to these
characters over the years, not just my own character, but to everyone else's.
I would really love to see what I think. Kendy has been left
in a really interesting position at the end of season four, so I'd love
to know how her story pans that obviously everyone's and what's going on with Va,
and like, just yeah, I just want to know that everyone will
be okay. And there's another really funny thing that I'm wondering if I'll ever
reconcile in my own head. So not to kind of confuse anyone who's listening,
but I will admit this on the record. So Sibyl being called Sibyl
and Lizzie being called Lizzie sometimes really messes me up because the connotation of a
Sibyl is that of an oracle. So sometimes I'll hear someone refer to Sibyl
and they'll be like, oh, yes, Abra's friend the oracle, and
they'll be like, no, no, no, no, no, it's
her sister. Nothing to do with seeing the future. And then in my
own head, I'll be like, Okay, I just need to rewind that
scene and completely reor it, even though they sound completely different. I don't
know. Maybe I'll get over that by the time I'm done listening to Season
and five. That's just something I invented in my own head. I have
heard that from like one or two other people, whether like your character,
you have a character that's an oracle, and you name someone else Sibyl,
and I was like, yes, shall leave me alone. Well, no,
you're you're absolutely right, because like it would be, it's actually cooler
that the person who's the oracle isn't called Sibyl, you know what I mean,
Because then it's like that one who shall not be named calling their well
wolf character wolf mcwafferson. You know, it's kind of re emphasizes the point
that these are ordinary people who happen to be cryptis and have names, and
they are not just a function of what they do or what their power is.
And the person who's the oracle isn't called oracle oracle, And it's like
the waton INFI isn't called like aquol or whatever. Can you jim? All
right, Well, I guess that is. That's kind of the end of
my questions list. I guess any last little things to saying to the viewers
before we wrap it up viewers, I guess listeners that's the correct term.
Hello, listeners, listen up, be excellent to each other. It's a
tough old world, and you never know who might be dealing with crypted powers
that they don't know about, like Afra. I guess I would just say
thank you for listening and be prepared for season five. It's gonna be great
season five. Thank you everyone, Thank you listeners for hanging out with us.
And yeah, as Amy said, to listen to season five, we'll
get ready for season five. I guess you can't listen to it yet,
huh, unless you're listening to this in the future. Before season five comes
out, we are going to have several other bonus content things coming at you.
