To everyone who's been curious about my story about NRC suffering a crying disease epidemic ever since I started mentioning it on a few posts, here it is for you all to see!

Hi!
It's been a while since I posted on here. I've been occupied with other interests, but I recently got an idea I'd like to share with you all just to gauge general opinion. How do you all feel about a series of five scripts about a character suffering a crying disease? This is my outline:
Stage 1 - Speaker feels melancholic and lethargic; the listener cheers them up to a fair degree (Note: this is where the exposition about the crying disease happens)
Stage 2 - Speaker has random crying fits, even when they're trying to laugh; the listener comforts them
Stage 3 - Speaker begins crying more frequently, but can still talk in between spells (maybe include something about their mental health deteriorating)
Stage 4 - Speaker is now wailing and sobbing hysterically. They act erratically and say things they normally wouldn't. The listener has to save them from themself.
Aftermath - Speaker is recovering and can speak and think normally again. This time, they have to comfort the listener on account of the events of the previous script.
So, what do you think? I understand crying scripts may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I wanted to get a general impression of this idea. Should I write it? Should I not? You can help me decide.
A trend I've noticed with the past few Halloween events on the JP server is that they're based on films with either scary or intense elements (i.e. Hunchback, Pinocchio, Nightmare before Christmas). That got me thinking: what film will the next Halloween event adapt?
I'm thinking along the lines of Black Cauldron, Mulan, Atlantis, or even the Sleepy Hollow segment from Ichabod and Mr. Toad. Ooh! What if we get a Port Bliss event with Sam so it would be in line with the creepy scenes from The Princess and the Frog?
What do you all think?
I mean how were characters like the Evil Queen and Maleficent viewed back when they were new to the public? I'm curious about how each and every villain was seen in audiences' eyes before they became legends.
