Splat Force IV: Radicalism; Cast Interview

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

W E L C O M E ! ! !

This is Nomad! I hope you've had a splendid day! To conclude the bonus content day, I bring to you the Cast Interview of Splat Force IV: Radicalism!

These ones, for those who need context, are non-canon posts where the cast of the story get to sit down and talk about what they liked about the story, what they enjoyed about making it, and what they think the future could hold.

As I said above, these posts (as well as the Blooper Reel) are NOT canon to the Splat Force universe and were made purely for fun.

So without further ado, let's get into this!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

C A S T I N T E R V I E W

Magnus: Hey everyone! Welcome to the Cast Interview!

Emily: Hell yeah!

Shauna: Yay! Wait... don't we need introductions?

Rex: We've been doing this long enough, surely it's not needed by now, right?

Samantha: Yeah, I agree there. Although we could mention who isn't here.

Platinum: Good idea!

Emily: Unfortunately, William and Vincent couldn't be here today, as well as Cyrus. They've all got stuff goin' on right now and their schedules don't align very well.

Rex: Wow, not even gonna mention... you know who?

Emily: I don't know whether or not I should because or spoilers and that.

Samantha: Well, I doubt the average reader would read the bonus content before the main thing.

Emily: Good point... spoilers up ahead, I guess?

Magnus: Yeah, be careful, guys! Anyway... let's get started!

Let The Questions Begin!

Question 1

Magnus: Ah, a nice and simple one to start us off, what was your favourite part of the whole thing? I'm assumin' they meant makin' it, right?

Samantha: That's the idea I got, at least.

Platinum: Yeah, let's just go with that.

Rex: I guess I can start with the obvious thing and that's that it was really nice working with you all again. I know we technically had What If...? just before this one, but this one was a return to the main storyline, and getting the chance to continue it with you lot was a great honor.

Emily: Took the words outta my mouth right there!

Magnus: I agree! Although I've been in a few stories here and there since our last big adventure.

Emily: And I had my own story to take care of.

Shauna: One thing I really liked about this was that it's my first big story! Obviously there was both Redemption and Emmie, but this was the first time I got to be apart of the main storyline, and I think I handled it well!

Platinum: Yeah! You were cool!

Shauna: Thanks!!

Platinum: Obviously, I've been in both Splat Force II and III, but as a background character, and here I am now being promoted to the main cast. I even got my own suit and everything! It was really fun to do!

Samantha: Oh yeah, coming back was cool... but I hated wearing that fatsuit.

*Small laughter occurs among the cast mates*

Samantha: I hated it! It was heavy, it smelled bad, and it was so uncomfortable! Other then that, I enjoyed my experience, and thankfully I'm not in that fatsuit for Splat Force V, so that's a huge bonus!

Question 2

Emily: The second question is another standard one, but what was everyone's favourite part of the story? Should I go first?

Platinum: Well, you are the one that's speaking after all.

Emily: True... spoiler alert, I guess, but I really loved doing all of the big emotional scenes with Zane. Gettin' the chance to do proper work with him was great!

Samantha: I'm the only one here that got to work with him in the past, and man he's changed a lot! I'm proud of him, what a performance he gave!

Magnus: Definitely! One bit I quite liked in the story was that bit in the penultimate Chapter where I'm visitin' my parents and I'm holdin' my child, which I should specify is NOT my actual child, that is a trained baby actress, or however that works. Anyway, midway through I start talking to little Mary with a soft, playful voice. I don't know why I picked that scene of all things, but I liked that part.

Platinum: Yeah, let's not have me on diaper duty for Splat Force V, please? Nothing has happened yet, but I am terrified.

Magnus: *chuckles* I don't know why I didn't get this duty considerin' the obvious.

Shauna: My answer is that small dance that I did in Chapter 15 because that wasn't even in the script, I kinda just started dancing and Nomad thought it was a cute idea and just put it in there and added you (Emily) into it.

Emily: One of the many instances of accidental improv, I guess.

Samantha: I gotta say, I had a blast with the bar fighting I was doing. It was only for one scene overall, but I had a really fun night filming that.

Platinum: I wanted to just jump in and you!

Samantha: We should all just go boxing when all this is over! It would be so much fun!

Magnus: Oh, definitely! What about you, Rex?

Rex: I really liked that scene on the beach with me, Platinum, and Luke Bishop. That Chapter was very action packed, so to have this moment of us three reflecting on our lives on this quiet beach... it was really nice and really hit home to me with how far we've all come on this journey, and... I can't say anything right now, but-

Emily: You're gonna make me cry in a second!

Rex: *starts laughing* Whoops! My apologies!

Question 3

Rex: This is a new one, I think... if you were to swap characters with anyone, including their backstory, and weaponry, who would you chose? I'm immediately going to say Melissa. Having her emphatic abilities would be very interesting and I could be an Inkling lie detractor.

Magnus: You would be unstoppable... until you that Bolton would be looming over you at every second.

Rex: True.

Magnus: I would pick... Vincent Fisk. I know he did awful things, but to have all those skills, resources, technology, and that high iq would be a lifegoal of mine.

Emily: Honestly, I'd pick Samantha.

Samantha: Really?!

Emily: Yeah! You're hard workin', you've never really been in any physical trauma unlike most of us here... although you do end up losing your father and sister, so there's that.

Samantha: Already regretting that pick?

Emily: ...kinda.

Samantha: *laughs and pats her back.*

Shauna: I would be Alyssa. Apart from early childhood struggles, she never went through much, and her gifts are basically mine if they were much, much better and could be used as beams.

Emily: Energy and light are two separate things, but okay, haha!

Shauna: Shush!!!!

Question 4

Platinum: Wow, we have enough stories to do this question... rank the stories from best to worst... oh f**k.

Magnus: Splat Force III, Splat Force IV, Splat Force II, Cosmo, Emmie, Splat Force I, Redemption, Bolton, What If...?

Emily: Emmie-

Platinum: What a shock!

Emily: Oh shush!!!!

*small laughter within the group*

Emily: Emmie, Splat Force IV, Splat Force III, What If...?, Redemption, Splat Force I, Splat Force II, Cosmo, Bolton.

Rex: Splat Force III, Cosmo, Splat Force IV, Splat Force II, Redemption, Emmie, Splat Force I, Bolton, What If...?

Samantha: Splat Force III, What If...?-

Shauna: Wow, was not expecting that story so high.

Samantha: What? I enjoyed it!

Emily: Yeah, but did you enjoy makin' it?

Samantha: I agree with you there, but as a story I'm putting it that high.

Emily: Fair enough-

Samantha: Anyway, Splat Force I, Splat Force IV, Emmie, Redemption, Splat Force II, Bolton, Cosmo.

Shauna: Might be a little biased, but... Splat Force IV, Emmie, Redemption, Splat Force III, Splat Force II, Cosmo, Splat Force I, Bolton, What It...?

Platinum: And for me it's Splat Force IV, Splat Force III, Cosmo, Splat Force I, Splat Force II, Emmie, Redemption, What It...?, Bolton.

Question 5

Shauna: I think I got this one! Can you all describe Splat Force V in a single word?

Magnus: Action-packed

Emily: Magnus, those are two words.

Magnus: Not if you use a hyphen!

Emily: Fair enough-

Shauna: Oh, I got one! Exciting!

Rex: That's a nice one! I'll follow that one up with this one: satisfying!

Platinum: Heh, nice one!

Emily: I'd say emotional, for obvious reasons.

Rex: That I also agree with. We only began production a few weeks back and there's already been some emotional days on set.

Samantha: Thrilling is the word I'd pick.

Platinum: D'oh! I was gonna pick that one!

Question 6

Platinum: Alright, looks like we're nearing the end here! Who's got the question?

Samantha: That would be I! Is there anything about your character that you would change? I would sure love to have an alive sister right about now, amiright?

Emily: Oh yeah, well I would happily heal from my wounds and trauma!

Magnus: I think I would change my hairstyle. You lot have had tweaks and upgrades yet I've just got a mini mohawk, and I've had that since my introduction, not that I'm actually complaining, I actually don't mind it that much!

Rex: I wish I was younger, but I can't do much about that, ahaha!

Platinum: Pops, you were literally aged up in this one!

Rex: I know!!

Shauna: For my sake, and for the sake of the make up department, I wish Fisk was successful in changing my skin back instead of giving me patches!

Emily: Girl, you look stunning regardless!

Shauna: *blushes* d'awww!!

Question 7

Emily: Okay, penultimate question... what are your hopes for Splat Force V? Kinda hard to answer since we've had many table reads for this one, all ending with most of us gettin' emotional.

Rex: Yeah, this one is a bit tricky to answer...

Platinum: Maybe we can share what our biggest hopes were from before the table reads? Because mine was that I got to have more father-daughter team ups!

Rex: I was not, nor am I now opposed to the idea, especially after the mini arc we went through together! As for me, my biggest hope was that I get to fly my Jet again, I miss that beauty...

Emily: I can speak for Magnus here when I saw that we both need our Commander scarves!

Magnus: Yes! We need them! I also just wanted some nice action mixed in with heart warming character moments.

Shauna: Yeah! More scenes with me and Emily would be great!

Samantha: My one and only wish of getting out of the fatsuit has already paid off.

*The cast all laugh.*

Question 8

Magnus: Final question! Oh... this is interestin'... if any past cast member were to show up, who would be your pick...?

Samantha: We've only just started filming, so anything can happen, really, but you lot already know my answer is Ami. Gotta have the sisters reunite... even though one is a moi now.

Emily: I'd love to have my Dad somehow come back from the dead so I can have that long awaited father-daughter team up like Rex and Platinum have!

Platinum: I would joke and say that I'm not sure how he'd come back... but seeing as my answer is my mother...

Emily: *snickers* Yeah, you get me!

Magnus: Addin' on to Samantha's answer, if we get Drift back, we could have the whole trio united for the first time since the end of the first story.

Shauna: D'aww! As for me, I'd love to get some of my Redemption company back. We still have a fairly active group chat, and I'd love to get them back... even though most of them are dead (in universe).

Samantha: Led, Melissa, and Bruce aren't!

Rex: Neither is Fisk, although he was with us for this one and will be back soon!

Emily: Excitin' times!

Rex: Bolton would be a cool comeback, but that would probably never work unless it's like a multiverse variant or something.

Magnus: Wow, a multiverse Splat Force story would be cool!

Samantha: We already had Wha-

Emily: Shhh!

End Of Questions!

Magnus: Well, that's all folks!

Platinum: That was a lot of fun! I can't wait to do this again next year!

Shauna: Yeah, same!

Rex: Me too, kiddo!

Samantha: Well, thank you all for ing us today, and I guess we'll catch you next time!

Emily: Bye-Bye!

*The cast all get out of their seats and leave the interview room.*
