ANY GENDER ROLES:

Pallas (any gender/race/30+):
A university professor and very learned individual! But underneath the cardigan and corduroy, a warm and loving being who can be quite smooth and funny when they need to. They’re in a complicated relationship and trying to be patient as things get worked out.

Line 1: I’m bringing it up because it’s on your mind. A lot. And honestly? It’s a little frustrating that my best girl is hung up on some guy..

Line 2: You might as well ask why the two of us are together. Did you and I both pursue different tracks to this university because we were destined to meet? Because our love is written in the stars? Or, did I just happen to see you across the hall at a faculty meeting and say to myself, “she’s cute, I should ask her out.”

Line 3: So according to you, I don’t actually want these tacos, but The Goddess decreed I should have them. Does The Goddess know what kind of sauce I should have?

Tripti (any gender/race/age):
Intrepid newscaster Tripti Copley! A name you can trust when it comes to news! You know the type. Trustworthy and serious, giving you all the news you can use.

Line 1: I’m Tripti Copley with Feedsurge News, and this is the Kingery Road Resort and Casino. Over the past few years, you’ve no doubt been inundated with advertisements from the casino’s previous owner, Thomas Arkell. But now, the Kingery is under new management. Precisely who is in charge, no one is willing to say on the record.

FEMALE ROLES:

Nora (female, 20s-40s):
She’s a mook who is willing to do anything if the price is right. She’s rough and tough, but there is a limit to how much she can take.

Line 1: Just call me Nora, baby, all the johns do. So what are we looking at here?

Line 2: O-kay, screw this. You owe me 1600 credits. Send it to my account within an hour or I’ll come back here and throw you out the window. Have a nice life, ya fruitcake.

ANY GENDER ROLES:

LISTENER (20s - 50s)
Random Internet podcast listener.

LINE 1: Babe I just heard the craziest thing, I think we need to call the-

LINE 2: What? No this is serious I think someone just died.

NEWSCASTER (20s-60)
Typical news reader.

LINE 1:And now for our top story tonight, we go to Boise, Idaho, the scene of the latest bizarre and seemingly random homicide. 19 year old David Martin strangled both of his younger siblings – Jessica and James Martin – to death in their family home. This brings the total to the 24th confirmed death in a sudden uptick of especially violent homicides scattered around the country over the last 36 hours.

BARISTA (20s-30s)
Your average coffee seller.

LINE 1: Sir? Sir, are you okay?

FEMALE ROLES:

MADISON (20s-30s)
Perky Youtuber. Though lately she’s been having trouble sleeping.

LINE 1: Hi everyone! Welcome to my first livestream! As I mentioned on my YouTube channel – subscribe now – my therapist suggested I keep an audio sleep journal. Being the good millennial that I am, I figured this seemed like the perfect opportunity for more content. And the great thing about audio – I don’t have to do my hair and makeup! I hope you’re excited to hear all about my sleep woes, listen to my rants about the drama that keeps me up at night, and maybe even get a recap of any spooky dreams.

LINE 2: (Slow to think of what words she wants to say) Hey…listeners. Sorry I missed the last few nights. I…forgot? It’s like I…sleep for a few hours but I’m not really sleeping, I’m just having that freaking spaghetti nightmare.

LINE 3: (angry, paranoid) You know what? I've figured it out. All this mess is HER fault. All that yelling and getting on my case about the dishes, anyone would go crazy! I bet she sent one of her dumb friends to go scratch on my window at night too so she could gaslight me. She’s always been jealous of me.

JULIE (20s-30s)
MADISON’s roommate, and she’s getting really tired of MADISON’s crap.

LINE 1: Madi, we seriously need to talk about the kitchen again. Are you ever planning on cleaning those pots you used like 5 days ago, or should I go ahead and get my petri dish and start culturing penicillin now?

LINE 2: (yelling, from the next room) ARE YOU SERIOUSLY RECORDING AGAIN?! SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!

LINE 3: Okay…Madi…you’ve had your fun but you’re starting to scare me.

ASTARTE (30s-40s)
Retired superhero and...goddess? ASTARTE isn’t really sure what she is now. She just knows she isn’t human anymore. She barely knows how humans think these days.

LINE 1: [groans] That again. Look, it was kind of a joke when it started. And then it just stuck. I do NOT want to be worshiped!

LINE 2: No, it’s not like that. It’s like...Imagine you’re a kid with eight crayons in a set to color the world. You get pretty good at figuring out what colors go where to show what you want. With these eight colors you can create a masterpiece. And then one day, you get a set of 48 crayons. So many colors! More than you’d ever seen before! And now instead of the sky you’re coloring being blue, it can be six different shades of blue and you don’t know which one to use. With all these choices you’re paralyzed. And it used to be so simple.

MALE ROLES:

CHUCK (30s-50s)
Award-winning journalist. Genuinely wants to help people.

LINE 1: Ah. Okay, then. I guess we can start the big questions. Well. [clears throat] Astarte, the last anyone saw of you was as a guest on O’Malley’s Media Storm. You cured Richard O’Malley’s cancer and vanished. Some thought you disappeared entirely due to shame from that appearance. Is that true?

LINE 2: [groans, seems to just be waking up] Whoa...must’ve drifted off there. Have to stop staying up so late working on my blog.. Looks like I’m gonna need another coffee.

LINE 3: Well, as you said, people aren’t used to someone wanting to help simply from the kindness of their heart. You seemed to be offering help in exchange for praise.

MAN (30s-40s)
Some guys sitting on the couch watching the news.

LINE 1: Yeah, a lot of people. You should probably see this too.
