Transcript

*Daisy browses at a jewelry vendor’s tables. Other congoers trudge onward in the foreground, some lining up to see a different vendor.*

*Daisy tries on a gold charm bracelet.*
Daisy: Paulo, what do you think?

*Paulo flies out of a a crowd of people and falls flat on his face.*

*Paulo, disheveled, dusts himself off and stands up.*
Paulo: It suits you.

*Daisy gives money to the jewelry vendor.*

Daisy: You wanna move on?
*Paulo looks unwilling to face the crowd again.*

*Paulo firmly grabs Daisy’s arm.*

*Daisy blushes in surprise.*

*Paulo, determined, pulls Daisy with him into the crowd.*

Author commentary

Oliver: I often play the Paulo to Vero’s Daisy in crowded situations like this. If you’ve ever tried to walk through Times Square as a timid, polite person, you’ll know that feel.

In fact, the best example of this was at New York Comic Con last year. Walk-in seller booths become islands of sanity surrounded by seas of sweaty people. FORGE ON OR BE SWEPT AWAY.

That said, come see as at ConnectiCon! We’re there all weekend, come see us along the wall in the main dealers hall with all the other online media guests! Take refuge. Buy a necklace.
