    A large part of the joy of reading scripts on NPX is being surprised by what other writers/creators make, being invigorated and energized by it, being influenced by it. "no worries lol :)" is arresting because it does all of this to me.

    First, to label something "impossible" piques my interest and leads me to ideate how it can be produced. Second, there is such wonderful language in Emmet L.F. Cameron's stage directions that plucks the heartstrings. Third, there is visual magic in this onstage moment, startling images that cascade on top of one another. This is gorgeous.
