[insert crowd cheering from tape. zoom in on single person at ringside,  wearing a headset, typing away on a laptop set up on the apron.]  It will be a weekend to remember. Careers will be defined, legends will be  born. Unlike the superstars of WWE, our Blocktronics superstars are used  to the deafening silence, to performing their art without the encouraging   cheers of an adoring audience to drive them on. ANSI art has always been created in solitude.  [pan over empty seats. a half-empty bucket of popcorn in the second row  was left behind by one of the camera operators.]  In a way we're lucky. Most of us have been doing this for over 20 years.  We've grown up with text chat on IRC, made and kept up with friend in other states, in other countries. We figured out how to collaborate, to coordinate, without the necessity of seeing each other face to face. We've lead digital lives long before the era of Facebook, and are among the ones best prepared for a world of physical distancing. [cut back to closeup of narrator offering a friendly smile as he takes off his headset.]  While Blocktronics is family, we also have our respective friends and families in the mundane world. We're not unfazed by the situation. Some are forced by circumstance to live apart from even their closest family, some have to explain to their children why they can't go to the playground or go meet their friends. We find ourselves teaching our parents and less technically adept friends how to use social media and video chats so we can stay in touch better. [pan to laptop screen showing a video chat window of Ivan alternating  between kissy faces and hand gestures that don't translate into any language other than Australian.]  Which is to say, we know what you're going through. And we want to help. [a pablodraw window opens up, covering the video chat window with rough NSFW outlines of Roxy Spaudling.] When the idea for this theme pack came up in February, we didn't know we'd be facing a world of lockdown. Then, over the past weeks, the world changed around us. What should've given us plenty of time to draw, being locked in at home, instead gave us reason to worry, and other things to think about - if only where and when we'd be able to procure our next roll of toilet paper. We've been less productive than we wanted to be. [window minimizes, so that Wrestlemania wallpaper image is visible]  Still, like Vince McMahon and WWE decided to double down and turn Wrestlemania into a weekend spectacular taped without any audience in attendance, we, too, stuck to our plan. However small our own audience of ANSI aficionados, just like the superstars of wrestling depicted in this pack have done for decades, we aim to please, to entertain.
