ACE NITETIME & JACK STATIC THE CURTAIN COMES BACK FORMAT One large portrait-oriented theatrical broadside. It is a single unified scene rather than a sequence of panels. VISUAL Ace and Jack stand full-length on opposite sides of a dark stage curtain, pulling it open and looking directly at the audience. Ace wears his rust-red shirt, dark vest, jeans, and headphones. Jack wears glasses, an olive work jacket, jeans, and his tool belt. Behind the upper curtain is the painted NITETIME.NET Gopherspace landscape from the preceding adventure. Beneath a marquee thanking the audience, the curtain opens farther onto a warm Wisconsin garage filled with radio gear, tools, beige computers, cables, and a CRT announcing the next destination. Backstage props include a director's chair, a DJRC—WEBMASTER slate, a carved gopher on a dolly, a NITETIME.NET field manual, a clapperboard, route notes, and coiled cables. DIALOGUE ACE: We're actors. You got that, right? JACK: We work for DJRC—the Webmaster at NITETIME.NET. CENTER PLACARD THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE FUTURE WILD SUCCESS OF NITETIME.NET! DIALOGUE ACE: Now—into the garage. JACK: That's where the action starts. CRT NEXT: THE GARAGE BOTTOM INVITATION KEEP FOLLOWING ALONG. USE BOOKMARKS. TAKE NOTES. SURF THE OLD-SCHOOL WAY.
