Avy and Erika: F(r)amed Reporters -working title

Project Overview

Avy and Erika is a comedy/mystery/buddy cop plot driven WLW visual novel. The story follows Avy, a Criminal Justice student trying to leave her tumultuous past behind and quietly get through college until one night she stumbles upon Erika, a caffeinated goblin of a girl calling herself a reporter that cannot stay out of trouble.

Together: they solve crimes! One specifically so far, but crimes in plural if everything goes well!

We're still at the writing stage, so there isn't much of a rush with the auditions! This is, however, planned to be part of a longer series.

This VN is 100% free but with professional quality as its intention is to add something cheerful and dynamic to the probably non-existent lesbian buddy cop genre. All the roles, from art to writing to music are voluntary. For other professional but paid projects created by me, please keep an eye out for The Hayseed Knight's auditions.

More roles will open up later on as well!

And that's about it, go go go.

  • Tiny Little Error

    HEY SO Avy's age was marked as "middle age" when she's just 20 and if that was keeping you from auditioning instead of the part where Spanish is mandatory FEAR NO MORE. Okay that was it, loving your auditions! <3

Note: MUST speak Spanish. The accent itself is optional, her father is Spanish and her mother Panamanian, so any variation of a Spanish accent would work if you want to add them but she's traveled enough to sound convincing in English.

Pronouns: she/her

Avy is charming, witty, and stylish! Tall, dark, and handsome! Sure, she rapid-fires every sentence and gets flustered while talking, but this Criminal Justice student is a lady killer, no doubt! 

Watch out, though! She's made of girlfriend material too! Nice and caring, she'll go out of her way to help any bird that's fallen out of its nest, and she'll stare at every box in the street for hours to make sure that there are no abandoned cats.

That's right, Avy can't stay still for a moment! You'd better believe there's not a single thing in the world she doesn't worry about.

So it's no surprise she's physically incapable of staying longer than a week in a relationship before breaking up due to her own insecurities. And let's not even talk about how worried that tiny goblin of a journalist Erika makes her...


  • (enthusiastically, "Mee-ah") Mia! ¡Mia de mis amores! Mia bellissima! The ex-est ex of all the exes! (flat) ...This’d better be the most important phone conversation ever to interrupt our traditional Coffee&Bitching about school.


  • (shocked/puzzled, to herself) What? Just… what? Why did you say that, brain? What in the name of the river have I done to offend you? Did Dad talk you into saying that kind of stuff?

  • I’m the chick that’s going to kick your ass to Mars if you don’t let go of her this instant, asshole!

Role assigned to: haleymccvo

Pronouns: She/her

Erika is the closest humankind gets to goblins, which makes her beloved journalism blog, The Voice of Creekport, the first newspaper written by fae folk. 

Teeny tiny genius goldilocks here has a knack for buying gadgets that her budget wouldn't normally allow, making long lists about seemingly pointless stuff, and asking very uncomfortable questions. The kind of questions that gets you in trouble with local thugs.

Erika's greatest passion is YEARNING FOR THE TRUTH, and you'd better believe she'll climb any wall or crawl through any hole in the wall to make sure she gets the best scoop!

  • (Frustrated) In case you hadn’t noticed, I have my hands full trying to make these two dolts understand that I’m in my right to ask any questions I please—whether they like them or not! I suggest you go find some other place to practice your heroic entrances.

  • (Speaking about Avy's name) ”A-bee”? As in, ”ABCD”? Or as in ”A bee”? Are you a fan of entomology, Torres?

  • I don’t know why you’re talking, I haven’t even gotten a chance to do a sales pitch yet! *harrumph* 150 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE MY BODYGUARD: NUMBER ONE…

Mia Malatesta

Unpaid

Pronouns: She/her

Mia is the latest addition to the long list of Avy's ex-girlfriends, and she'd be your average popular girl, if your average popular girl had a knack for yelling at people that they should wear a sweater because it’s too cold out and they’re going to catch something. She’ll do this while smoking a cigarette and she’ll look at you weird if you say anything about it.

Mia’s devoted to her studies, smart, and bossy in a very maternal, “I get to choose what is smothering or not” way. She knows best. She always knows best. 

And yet when the night falls, something changes in this soccer mom in the making: the true Mia awakens, off to become the soul of every party! Legends about all the liquor bottles she’s emptied and all the relatively fancy relatively terrible drinks she’s created all by herself circulate around the campus.

She believes firmly in polyamory and sometimes forgets other people... don’t. This has earned her quite a streak of enemies.

  • (endearingly sarcastic) Oh goodness, singing. In Spanish no less. Someone’s in a good mood.

  • (offendedly sarcastic) I did what now?! That went a bit differently, darling! I think I remember someone crying that she couldn’t bear the pressure of dating a popular girl!

  • (sarcastically sarcastic) I take it that whole ”I’m going to try and stay away from danger because I’m tired of worrying you all, sob sob” thing you were telling me about last time is going well.”

Role assigned to: Vladibear

Pronouns: they/them

Laura is Erika's roommate, and also a close relative, no matter how much the tiny journalist refuses to accept it.

Laura's personality is a bit... out there. Tacky at times, having given into their starving artist persona many, many years ago even though they’ve been successful for quite some time now. 

Capricious would be the simplest way to put it simply, and though they are not always quite as considerate as they should be in their day-to-day, they value their friends deeply and they’re the first to lend a helping hand when possible.

Terrible roommate, never tidies a single thing. Hoards all sorts of rubbish for artistic purposes that Erika ends up stealing somehow.

  • (rambling) True art is comprehensible, but those rich dumbasses go and pay loads of money to look at things that make them feel like idiots! *sigh* Anyway I call this one "Salt"!

  • (enthusiastically) Bring pizza!

  • IF I’M SUCH A TWERP WHY DO YOU LIVE WITH ME?

Role assigned to: James Dijit

Note: he should have a Spanish accent, but he's traveled enough to sound perfectly convincing in English, so it's optional.

Pronouns: He/him

Joaquín is an ex olympic athlete for the Spanish judo team in some late ‘90s/early 00s olympic games. This made him both somewhat of a celebrity and busy enough that he never had time for his daughter or his wife, occupied as he was training or traveling from one place to another.  He's what he would like to think of as a TRUE MAN, SOMEONE TRULY MANLY, AND TRULY STRONG! AN IBERIAN MACHO LIKE NO OTHER! There’s no martial art he hasn’t practiced! There’s no problem he can’t headbutt!

...But that was before. Now he’s retired and he's mostly a somewhat awkward father that tries to figure out how to couple his perceptions of reality and what measure is toxic masculinity with being endlessly supportive towards his only child, Avy, in whatever she tries to do. Being a lesbian, for example. That's one point where he can relate to her at least.

  • You never mentioned you saved a GIRL! Is she your girlfriend yet? Are you bringing her home soon?!

  • You’re still coming to the gym to help today, right? You won't be picking any girls up with those noodly arms, you know.

  • (taunting/threatening) My fists are legally classified as cold steel. COME AT ME IF YOU DARE, SON!

Role assigned to: TalonSims

Note: If you want to add a really fake Italian accent that'd be great too!

Pronouns: He/him.

Nico was first seen calling himself Italian in a first year party where he stumbled upon Mia. Some say he was called Paco before that and that he didn't appreciate protein shakes.

Be it as it may, Nico is a hollaback bro, always ready to laugh at his bro’s mean jokes, and to try his best to be mean of his own accord, though it doesn’t come naturally for Creekport’s most impressionable local minion.

PS. Rumor has it he calls everyone a bro in hopes of not messing up pronouns.

  • Dude, was any of that English?

  • Yeah, bro, you tell her!

If I have to tell you that he's rich and a jerkass I've failed as a designer.

  • See? She’s real dumb, so my bro’s just going to rough her up a bit so she doesn’t step on anyone else’s foot. Whaddya say I go buy you some shots and forget all this shit?

  • Tsk. She doesn’t even want your help, why’d you gotta stick your nose in this?
