Today we have a bit of a different episode, where we are interviewing two actors from the Worldhopper Ball. First we have Savannah Carrasco, who played Shallan in 2024's ball (and returned in 2025 as a dancer), and Emily Whitcomb, who played Shan Elariel in 2025's. This was lots of fun, so we hope you enjoy.

We also have Evgeni (Argent), Eric (Chaos), and Ene (Aon Ene)!
