Mark is a nineteen-year-old curmudgeon. He's been walking his bike for *hours* through the countryside of eastern New Mexico, making a trek to the reputably haunted town of Deerface to find answers regarding a mysterious mask that's been stuck on his face for ten years.
The majority of his words will be coated with sarcasm and cynicism. He's not only tired from the walk, he's sick and tired of having a mask stuck on his face for ten years. Most of his humor is probably deadpan, but like, don't make it boring.
For reference, please take a look at the comic pages, as they add extra context and body language to aid with expression.
"Hhhhhhfine. Okay, so back when I was an idiot, I thought it would be a great idea to put on a random mask I found in the dirt... and I haven't been able to pry it off since. That's it. Completely asinine. Anyway, I figured a town called Deerface of all things might be a good place to investigate. It's not too far from my hometown, at any rate."
(Pages 12-15)
"My antlers? Hate 'em"
"..."
"Why, yes, in a freak incident I was inexplicably born with fully-grown antlers."
"I kid. They came with the mask; started sprouting from my head after a few days."(Page 16)
"Hhhhhit's about time somebody asked! I actually haven't eaten anything in the past ten years. How's that for freaky? But as much as I've enjoyed this discussion of the strange case of Mr. Haskell and the excruciatingly long walk to a sketchy, reputably haunted town in the middle of nowhere, what's the deal with all these pumpkins? It looks pretty expansive for a wild patch, if you ask me."
"Oh, did I say reputably haunted? My baAA Hello." (He almost ran into a ghost)
(Pages 20-21)
Frances is a... ghost? She's fractured and glowy and falling apart, and she's good at getting on Mark's nerves in a creepy sort of way.
"..yyou... snuck up... on mee..."
(Page 22)
Chaos child. Mark's childhood best friend. She's been around since before the mask happened, and she's likely offered several um... creative solutions to remove it.
"MARK HAVE YOU TRIED CROWBARS??"
(Page 28)
Amanda was driving her truck down a dirt road when she almost ran over Mark and totaled his bike. To make up for it, she offers to give him a ride into town. She's a self-assured country girl, she's got a big dog, wears a flannel covered in paint, and she was born and raised in the small town of Deerface.
"HWAH!! You okay, girl??"
(Page 32; she almost ran over Mark with her truck. She's talking to her Doberman Pinscer)
"Helloooo..."
"OH"
"Are you okay? I definitely hit something, but-"(Page 34, she's searching for Mark, sees him suddenly, then asks if he's okay)
"Wait, are you headed into Deerface?"
"Well, you're still quite a ways out of town. If you're walking, at least. I have a car. And I'm really sorry for smashing your bike... I can make it up to you by taking you into town."
"It's Amanda, by the way."
"Only stipulation is you have to explain the awesome Grim Reaper costume!"(Pages 37-38)
Macho is Amanda's doberman pinscer. She's a little shaken up from the sudden braking, but she good.
"Whrf"
Bing Yi is "tranquil as a forest, but on fire within." He's an extremely square man in his 40's, and the king of deadpan. He's extremely bad at telling stories in chronological order with all the relevant information attached.
"So Mark's missing? For how long?"
"What if he's in Deerface? They've got some weird local legends. Which he could've learned about from me. I had a job there once."(Pages 43-44)
"Mark really shouldn't be walking around right now."
"Well, as far as I understand it was Frances. Whatever that... weird ghost thing is she apparently does is, he had a stomach bug and she got him. He walked to my Walgreens and asked for a ride to the hospital."(Pages 45-46)
"The nearest hospital is two hours away from San Avila."
"I have something of an emergency room outpost set up. Because of the two hour drive. I was able to patch him up."
(Are you qualified??)
"It's a discount ER."(Pages 48-49)
Ms. Laura Haskell - she was too tired to correct Bing when he called her 'Mrs.' - was on a business trip when Mark decided to walk to Deerface. She came home to find him gone and called a friend of his: a middle-aged convenience store nightshift worked named Bing. She's been driving all day and is extremely exhausted.
"Yes, I was wondering if you had any idea where my &@#% son is, pardon me."
"I'm sorry, I'm realizing this now - I've been driving all day - I realize I invited myself over and demanded coffee very rudely."
"Oh, you didn't have to-" sits down "uhhhhh thank you."(Pages 41-43, the "uhhhh" is more of an "ahhhh" from sitting down after driving all day, please don't actually swear thx )
"Weird legends, like, about the mask?"
"Wait, he doesn't have the car... and he knows he can't do bikes! Wherever he is, he doesn't have a mode of transportation..."
"Oh, yeah? Did something happen? It's not like the sink is where he keeps his ties!"(Page 45, the anxiety gradually increases until the accusational tone at the end)
"Urghhhh how bad was it?"
(He walked to my Walgreens and asked for a ride to the hospital)
"And you took him?"
(No.)
"EXCUSE ME??"
(I have somewhat of an emergency outpost set up here. I was able to patch him up)
"WHAT!? Is it- is it just you? Are you qualified for that??"
(It's a discount ER)
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
"Fffff... is Mark okay?"(46-50, mama bear energy is coming out, then finally at the end she calms down)
Mark hears the comments section as voices in his head, and he's the only one that can hear them. These audition lines are just a few examples from the comic; there is no shortage of comments. We need as many extras as we can get, so please drop a recording in here!
"Why does he wear the mask? Also, I love him."
(Page 5)
"Idk but if I were you I would def be dropping Skittles down the eyeholes so like y u no do that?"
(Page 29)
"Take our poor boy to come civilization. Or maybe just a hospital for a walk-in appointment. Or just give him a ride."
(Page 33)
