That's an interesting read of the scene! That's actually one of Trinity's cheer outfits for that school year! You'll find out more about the other female student when you read Tryouts, but you haven't seen the last of her! As for whether or not there's anything Exceptional about North Florespark High, who's to say?
Hahaha. Yes, Zephyr will have names for techniques. Yes, I already have them written down. Yes, he will say them aloud at times. And absolutely yes, people will look at him crossly for it. I find calling out attacks in anime and manga hilariously fun, and oftentimes cool. But it's incredibly impractical, and would, in reality, annoy the people around you. And that's 100% the point

Working at the Rippaverse has afforded me the absolute blessing and privilege of chatting face-to-face with Chuck Dixon. I've had the chance to pick his brain a number of times, and while I think fans should check out his Ask Chuck Dixon show on YouTube to glean wisdom directly from the source, I think the most important knowledge I've gained from him were in the realm of creating distinct character voices, such as when he was writing so many of the Bat-Family simultaneously and how he balanced that—something that I wanted to learn more about for not only Blue-Shift, but something else I have planned as well. Also picking his brain about fleshing out a world to make it feel lived in, whether it be logistical things about how a character's powers or gear function, or populating a city with diners, outfitters, gyms, and more. I hope that fans will see that I took his example to heart in my stories with Blue-Shift!
I can neither confirm nor deny Cedric's involvement in Zephyr's Blue-Shift Super Suit. But it does look pretty official and professional, doesn't it? I will say that the Blue-Shift suit is definitely not his first one. I'm a Spider-Man fan, so we're gonna have some fun along the way to truly looking like a proper speedster superhero

Oh, man, nothing that I can particularly discuss at the moment (NDAs and all). But there is one project in particular (and it's not mine, to be clear) that I am over the moon for, and I'm confident the fans will be too. Stay tuned!
The Soskas may be able to answer that more thoroughly than I; however, given that I studied it, I can offer this nugget: on screen, you want character dialogue to feel organic, and like two characters are having a genuine back-and-forth, as opposed to it being like a Pokémon battle. There's a difference between interrupting someone in a conversation and feeling like you're tossing a ball downfield before the other one responds, if that makes sense—it does to me, but I'm weird.
Thank YOU so much for having me!
