Project Overview
FRAGMENTS
Fragments is a show about Daniel "Dan" Amsenlock a 19 year old highschool student who is struggling with life. He works at a bookstore run by Ann Nadlesakh a 46 year old woman whose dream is to spread literature and the beauty and fun of learning. His coworkers are:
Nora, the squaky hyper active girl who always talks about her hyper fixations
Ava, a snarky b*tch who actually has somewhat good advice
Bob, a miserable security guard who lived through 4 regimes and watched all of them fail spectacularly
His friend, David struggles with anxiety and panic, and gives Dan some myroxine (an anxiety drug) to help him with his stress.
The show is about how Dan becomes addicted to the drug and how it, and him destroy his life and personal relationships and any chance of a decent life.
Everyone is welcome to audition, especially newbies or teens since I know how hard it is to start out ^-^
Dan is the protagonist of the show. He is a 19 year old high school student working as the local bookstore's clerk. His life is very stressful and graduation, applying to college(s), his complicated family background and being antisocial does not help with that. Fortunately his friend David offers him some of his anxiety medication to relieve the stress.
Unfortunately, Dan quickly becomes addicted to the drug and starts to experience withdrawal, dependency. His life spiral out of control very fast with his personality and personal relationships getting worse every second.
He starts as a sarcastic, honest but also thoughtful and helpful guy and ends up as a total wreck, lashing out at people, becoming absolutely miserably and an intolerable jerk.

Told you, Wednesdays don’t work. Important stuff…
Maybe I would come into work if you'd include a "sorry I was an ass" compensation in my pay!
Well, that sounds like something you'll talk about for the next few days...
Nora is a 17 year old girl and the definition of a geek. She is very hyperactive and can go on and on about subjects that interest her. She is a bit socially awkward and a bit shy, but when you get to know her, she’ll be one of your most loyal friends and great company. She loves books and short stories and reads a LOT of fanfiction. Some say too much. She easily gets hooked by almost any form of bingeable media and becomes obsessed with it for a few weeks, until she finds the next one.

Like, picture this: it's, like, 1800s London, and it's basically giving major gossip blog vibes, but with corsets! The whole plot is, finding the ultimate husband on a super competitive marriage market and the dresses are so damn cute!
Yeah I guess that makes a lot of sense for him.

Ann is a 46 year old woman who has achieved their life goal of opening her own bookstore. She was a theatre kid in her youth and always loved drama and literature. Ann is a bit overly enthusiastic about any kind of media and will tell you all of her favourites in about 5 minutes of you meeting her. She believes that anyone and everyone deserves a chance to read and learn so she hires basically anyone and lets almost everyone into her store. Unfortunately in terms of love, she is still searching for the one, though she is very close to giving up. Her last 3 relationships (including her marriage that lasted 6 years) all ended rather dramatically.
She gets along with Nora really well.

Oh, he came in yesterday. You know while someone was skipping work?
Daniel. My boy. The morning energy is sluggish. Where is the spark? The theatrical flair?
Did you mainline espresso this morning? You look like you're about to vibrate right out of your chair.
Ava is your local annoying but wise girl. She is always chewing that goddamn bubble that would make you lose your mind in a few minutes.Though her attitude and whiny-bitchiness is repulsive at first she knows her way around town and kicks ass when she needs to. She is 24 years old and works as a janitor “because I’m disturbing the customers apparently…". Her dad was in the military until he died in 2015.

What was your lazy arse doing on Wednesday?
Oh don't worry next I wipe the shit stains way more precisely! Bansky will be jealous of my wall art!
Look, you're kinda a pain in the arse. So I suggest that you go over there to "Ms. C.ai marry me" and be a pain in her arse. Okay?
The security guy of the bookstore. He is a bit grumpy and passive-aggressive so people don’t tend to speak to him. The only person he ever communicates with is Ann and it seems like they get along well… Not much is known about him or his past, he just throws snarky comments at people when they mess up.

Going great so far! Maybe you'll win a Darwin award next year!
Remember, which does not kill us makes us stronger. Plus alcohol and cigarettes. *coughs*
This is almost as good as the food shortages of '72. Or the revolution of '56. Or World War 2. There's a reason I'm listing bad things y'know?
David is a classmate of Dan and his only friend from the school. While Dan gets along with everyone in his class, he and David became friends over dumping ice on people’s heads (ice bucket challenge) and stayed close ever since. David is from a moderately wealthy family with a two story house, a pool and a few bedrooms. David is a good person with good intentions but has trouble socializing, so Dan means everything to him. David has panic disorder and high anxiety which he takes Myroxine for, it worked wonders for him. He started befriending people and kinda got more distant with Dan. David’s backstory is nothing tragic, he has a good relationship with his mom and dad and sees a therapist named Martin Halo.

I'm glad the stuff is working man. I just, I don't want to be an enabler you know. Like you gotta consult a therapist. Halo's good, I'd 100% recommend.
