The Other Dimension- A Radio Skit Written for Steemstar After Dark! Live Tonight! The Green Jelly
The Other Dimension- "The Green Jelly"- Presented on Steemstar After Dark!
I've had the pleasure of writing scripts for @carrieallen's new radio show Steemstar After Dark and I am here to present yet another short skit titled, "The Green Jelly". Tonight will be her forth episode Friday's on the Steemstar Network! If you have not had a chance to see this show, you are missing out on a special treat!
Check out this post for the Steemstar After Dark Episode 1 to find the original recording of the show and get informed!
Tonight's Steemit After Dark show, @carrieallen is bound to bring us more laughs and fun times! Each week she presents new Steemian-written scripts for the audience to read and new volunteers are emerging every week. You never know who you may be stuck in a fart plane with, or what kind of trouble those pesky cat ladies will get into.
To listen to last week's show be sure to check out 😎Steemstar After Dark😎 - E3 - SHOW Archive - May 11, 2018.
If you listen to the recording of the Steemstar After Dark, you will hear many different voices. This is because @carrieallen pulls her cast from the radio audience to partcipate in each of the skits. If you have ever wanted to do any voice acting, this may be your chance to try! Just be sure to attend the audience chat on the Steemstar discord channel and then let her know you'd like to read.
@carrieallen is still looking for more scripts to be written for these Friday night shows. She is also looking for Steemians to entertain on the show. If you have any funny stories, jokes or antidotes, she asks you join the show live and give us your best.
The Other Dimension is loosely based off of the older television shows like The Twilight Zone where the person finds themselves in a world in which they can not explain what is happening to them.
It is created to be an ongoing saga that anyone can continue. Each episode will include a new story about a person or persons who will face situations in the Other Dimension, that either solve a problem in their current life, or shine light on the contradictions.
I can't wait to see other writer's dive deep into the depths of their twisted psyche to bring us new tales from The Other Dimension....
You can also find tonight's script on google docs here- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SAPY19wxU_ZfpNC0mgxHhqGDUvAPft2wslYPE1VYcSE/edit?usp=sharing
The Other Dimension-"The Green Jelly" Short Skit Written for Steemstar After Dark by: @simgirl
The Other Dimension- The Green Jelly
Cast:
Narrator
Anne
Mother
Green Jelly Blob #1
Green Jelly Blob #2
Intro- (prerecorded)
NARRATOR
Travel if you dare to the other dimension; where happy endings often turn into nightmares.
A realm in which your reality is not the one you know now.
Here, nothing’s predictable and things are not always what they seem.
What would you do if you woke up one morning to find you were living in an alternate universe?
What changes would you expect to find?
Let’s find out what happens to Anne McArthur, as she awakens in The Other Dimension…
Anne
(shouting) Mom, did you get me some more green jelly from the store?
Mother
(shouting back)
I got you one jar, it’s in the refrigerator.
Anne
(Still shouting) I already ate that jar.
Mother
Honey, you need to slow down on the green jelly. There’s too much sugar in it.
Anne
I know but it’s the only thing I like to eat. Will you please bring me home some more?
Mother
Okay, but if you don’t stop eating it, you are going to turn into a green jelly blob! Don’t watch too much television. I’ll be back in an hour.
(Door closes)
Anne
(giggles) Green jelly blob…
Narrator
Later that day Anne’s mother brought home 2 jars of green jelly. Anne sat on the couch with the jar and a spoon then ate the delicious sweet substance. She finished the jar and then sat back and enjoyed the sugar rush. When her mother was ready to go out for the evening she checked on Anne again.
Mother
Anne, honey I’m going out for a bit. Don’t eat too much of that green jelly.
Anne
Okay. I won’t.
Narrator
Anne waited until she knew her mother was gone before she raced to the kitchen for the second jar of green jelly. She sat back on the couch, watched television and shoveled the green jelly into her mouth. After a few minutes she noticed her hand was beginning to turn a green color. After further inspection Anne discovered both her hands and her arms were beginning to turn green. She poked her skin, but it wasn’t skin anymore… it was green jelly.
Anne
(panics) Oh no! Mother was right. I’m turning into a green jelly blob!
Narrator
Anne tries to think of what she can do to stop the green jelly from taking over her body but then she notices more and more of her body is taken over by the ooze. She could no longer lift her arms or legs. The green jelly seemed to pulsate and all she could smell was green apple.
Anne
Well, I guess I’m a green jelly blob now.
Green Jelly Blob #1
I’m a green jelly blob too!
Green Jelly Blob #2
Me too!
Anne
What? How is this possible?
Green Jelly Blob #1
Hi! What’s your name?
Anne
My name is Anne.
Green Jelly Blob #1 and #2
Anne! Anne! Anne!
Anne
I can’t believe this is happening. My mother must have been telling me the truth when she said I’d turn into a green jelly blob. But there’s no way this is true. I must be dreaming. That’s the only logical explanation. What will I do now?
Green Jelly Blob #2
There’s nothing you can do now. You have eaten so much green jelly that you will have to stay this way. But it’s a good thing for us because now we can live here too! There are so many cool things here.
Green Jelly Blob #1
Yes, we are going to love it here. The house is very cozy, and I love television. There’s enough room for all of us!
Anne
All of you? What do mean by “all of you”?
(sounds of multiplying blobs)
Narrator
Anne looks around and notices littler green jelly blobs scattered around the living room. She looked down and could see the green jelly blobs were reproducing from her! Anne’s entire body was now a big blob of green jelly that pulsated and spewed out more green jelly blobs. There was nothing Anne could do to stop it from happening.
Anne
No! Please stop. Mom help!!!! Oh, I’ll never eat green jelly again! I swear!!!
Green Jelly Blobs (in unison)
Anne! Anne! Anne!

Thanks to @snook for this very cool gif!!!
This is quite cool, so you’re revamping shows like the twilight zone, tales from the crypt etc etc? Where do i sign up? (ps, if you would like some creepy background underscores, let me know)
Thank you! Yes we are writing scripts and acting them out live in the discord chat and then they stream it too. You can go to the Steemstar Network here: https://discord.gg/2zKGZg.
Ask @carrieallen if she needs music, I'm sure she would. She also has a House of Horrors on her Monday show.
But you can find collaborations and contest for music in the Steemit Music Alliance on discord. Here is the link for SMA: https://discord.gg/MGrM8R
OMG! Yes! I'm still looking for some creepy writers and such, though like @simgirl said, that's more for my Monday night show (MISSION CONTROL).
STEEMSTAR AFTER DARK is morphing into whatever we (all of us) want it to be. Generally, the idea is a Saturday Night Live sort of thing... Simgirl simply chose to write scary instead of funny. For the most part, we are looking for funny for Friday nights (and simgirl's getting her hands wet in that too 😍).
As for underscores... Right now, we primarily use those for SPACE CARRIE'S ADVENTURES IN SPACE, which runs on the Monday night show. They are fully produced mini episodes (less than 15 minutes) chronicaling Space Carrie in the style of Old Time Radio (from the 1940s).
We are also planning to start a Western in the same style... and probably other things too.
I'd like to do a more produced creepy thing as well, but am having trouble finding collaborators on this and am simply writing things myself.
Feel free to connect with me on Discord (carrieallen#9415) and come join the radio fun!
You are like the BEST promo person EVA!
Thank you so much for being a part of this!
You're right. It's a party no one should miss. 😎
Can't wait to read the others!
I seen something about dogs...
I wish I could be there tonight, but I have a stupid meeting!
Meetings are the worst. For reals. Especially stupid ones! But... then... when are meetings NOT stupid? 🤔
Hrmmmm... maybe I should make a sketch about that...
I will MISSSSSSSSS YOU!!!!!!!!!
You should!
I'm going to stand up in the middle of meeting and declare it's stupidity!
I'll miss you tooooooo!
Have a great show!
<3
Everyone would agree with you! You'd be the company hero!
... and then you'd probably be reprimanded... but you'd be a hero to the people. And isn't that all that matters? 😘
One of my biggest fears is actually turning into a green jelly blob!!!!
This is awesome simgirl!
Thank you! We will miss you! Maybe the meeting will be short and sweet!
BWahahahaha!!!
Now I know what you eat late at night, probably hiding in your closet, with the lights off... so even YOU can see yourself. LOL!
Side note: I imagine the flavor of the green jelly to be jalapeno apple.... which now I'm interested in tasting!
