Character by prswirve; Story by The Atomic Punk
Debbie Pendelton (Student, University of Iowa-Ames): “Yeah, sure, we went to high school with Cassandra.â€
Alexis O’Shea (Reporter, WBIA): “What was she like? Was she popular? Participate in school activities? Prom Queen?â€
Luna Perez (Accountant): “Oh no… she was… weird and annoying.â€
AO: “Oh, how so?â€
DP: “Ugh, where to begin? First, she was such a dweeb. Even the other dweebs though she was a misfit.â€
LP: “Yeah, she went through all these weird phases. She would go around school telling people how famous she was going to be.â€
AO: “What were her ambitions?â€
LP: “One week, she was going to be on Doing the Tango with Famous People and the next she was going to be a racecar driver or start a motorcycle gang.â€
DP: “The time she was going to be the next Britney or Cherrie Hart. She would walk around campus singing off-key.â€
LP: “Yeah, yeah, yeah… then she was going to be a supermodel who designs her own clothes.â€
AO: “Wow, sounds like she had a lot of dreams.â€
DP: “No, she was just a freak.â€
LP: “Like, the principal sent her home several times because of those outfits that she wore.â€
DP: “Think she was messed up before. Her parents died in a car accident and she was in a coma for three days. Her parents burned alive but she was unscathed. When she came back to school, she told everyone that she had ‘risen like a phoenix’ or some other bat-[censored] crazy nonsense.â€
AO: “When she flew in from the sky and defeated The Goldtooth Dragon, she probably saved a hundred lives.â€
DP: “Yeah, that was pretty cool.â€
LP: “She did help me with my math homework once.â€
