Group Chat /// A Horror/Comedy Text-Based YouTube Audio Drama (!!VAs Needed!!)
Project Overview
Story: Thirteen people met in an online game. They all bonded, becoming great friends.
One of the members, Ashley, created a group chat, that they all connect every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
It's been a common routine for three years.
However, things start to change, now that the group is getting older.
What will happen, when the members start to disappear, and there's a murderer on the loose?
And what if it turns out: the murderer is not only amongst them...
But one of them.

This is a YouTube project that I've been working on creating for a while! It is a text-based, episodic series that will go up every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday after initial release. This series is based off of a book that I wrote three years ago, and has been re-developed into a proper script with 22 episodes, and a second season in the works if all goes well. I am looking for people to voice act the characters to make the series feel more complete.

Ashley is an often extremely bubbly girl. After meeting her future friends in an online game, she created the infamous group chat to connect with them more. She is an overall optimist, and tries to help people any way she can. However, when her friends are getting murdered around her she falls into a pit of blaming herself.
Hard to believe summer vacation is almost here!
I love all of you. My heart goes out to every single one of you. May you rest easy, wherever you may be.
I can honestly say, I am not the killer. But, I may as well be. I'm the one who put everyone's lives at risk. Because of me, Gavin; Luke; Gabriel; and Leilani are gone. And Valen; Nia; and Katherine have a chance of getting murdered. All because of me. I won't feel bad if you vote for me. I'm a terrible person.
THE_CREATOR is the main villian of the series hosting a game of death, causing the murders of the members of the group chat. The catch? They are one of the members, causing their own "friends'" deaths, only nobody knows who. After their introduction to the group, they appear every Saturday to kill off another member, unless people vote- and get correct- on who THE_CREATOR really is.
Note: THE_CREATOR's voice should sound like they are using a voice changer, since they are trying to mask their identity. Any person of any gender can play this role, since it's supposed to be unknown who THE_CREATOR is.
Welcome ten contestants, to the "Game of Death"
If you don't follow how the game is played, you will die. No second chances. If you leave the chatroom, out of your own free will... You're dead.
This is how the game will function. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, all of you will show up to the chat. If you don't, you die. Every day, you will go about normal conversation. Each of you, will piece together clues. Clues about what, you might ask? Clues about, which of you...is the traitor... That's right. One of you, is me. At the end of each week, on Saturday...I will come back. I will ask you the same question, every day... "Who am I?" All of you, will tell me who you think it is. If half of you or more, guess correctly: you win the game. Guess wrong: the person who most people thought it was dies. If it makes it to the point, where there is only two people left... That last person will be killed, no matter what. Now, I think it's time we all disconnect. Remember, everyone better show up on Monday. See you next Saturday...
Gabriel is the older brother of Valen and Zack, and suffers from depression. He holds unrequited feelings towards another member of the group chatroom, and has a hard time being happy-go-lucky because of it. Even through his depression, Gabe loves every member of the chatroom to pieces, especially his little brothers, and would do anything for any of them.
Sorry to interrupt this quarrel, but I think that it should be stated that love shouldn't intervene with our judgement.
Believe me, I am literally falling apart inside. But, I'm trying to be a bit more optimistic. Zack's a different story.
I'm still fucking panicking. One of us are going to fucking die on Saturday, and there is nothing we can do to avoid it!
Luke is one of the jokingly-flirtatious bachelors of the group. He has a secret crush on Ashley, but the only other person who knows is his best friend Gabriel. He is a huge wisecracker, and never misses an opportunity to make a comment on something.
Yikes. What is making you more pissy than usual?
Okay, everyone calm down. It isn't that big of a deal.
Guys, not cool. Fighting isn't going to solve anything. We have to work together to solve this mystery. Now, whoever is still on, I'm leaving. See you Wednesday
Keira is a very brash and violent woman, prone to agressive outbursts. However, she is extremely friendly to those she loves and cares about, mostly Ashley and Nia. She isn't tolerant of excessive flirting or perverted comments, and will lash out on someone who is acting that way (especially Thomas, who she ironically has a crush on). She's good and kind at heart, but refuses to show it, putting up a barrier between herself and most of the members of the group chat.
Ashley, I'm so sorry you had to endure the torture of being around these losers. And you shut the hell up, Thomas.
So, I'm getting vibes, that it's either Thomas or Leilani? Damn, a win-win for me. My money's on Leilani, she's been acting really sketchy. You know I'm serious, because I'm not instantly voting Thomas.
You guys are fucking idiots! Maybe the asshole is him, and he's fucking lying!
Thomas is the rather flirtatious, pansexual bachelor of the groupchat. He takes every opportunity to flirt with the members that catch his eye (especially Keira and Zack), and often cracks perverted jokes. However, deep down, he just wants to settle down with someone and actually start a life outside of his hometown. Even though he is ever the optimist, and tries his best to keep everyone happy, he has his own dark past causing strain on his mental health. He's suffered from abuse from his father all of his childhood, after the death of his mother, and uses the group chat as a coping mechanism, and a way to escape from his father.
Oh, so she can compliment you on how beautiful you are, but I can't? You're breaking my heart here, babe! Why is everyone so mean to me?
And the award for person who gives a fuck goes to...anyone that's not me!
Does it fucking matter, though?! We're going to lose, and all of us will die! We are all being played here! It's hard to trust even one person.
Damon is the younger brother of Gavin, and best friend of Thomas. He is a rather laid back guy, and is a bit of a jokester. Even though he is a gamer, and spends most of his day on the internet, he is ironically rubbish at computers.
Those are all literally the only good people to me. Fuck.
*Laughing* I fell off my chair! I'm dying over here!
What the hell are you talking about?! It isn't me! Where are you getting your damn accusations from?!
Adam is the soft-spoken, extremely laid-back, and also the oldest member of the group. He doesn't speak up too often, but when he does he has a lot to say. He has feelings for Ashley, causing an unwanted rivalry between himself and Luke, and not-so passive agression from Zack.
I scrolled up a bit, and saw that Thomas and Zack killed Ashley. Should I find out why?
Right, right. We need to think about this in a fashioned manor.
Yeah, but Zack hates me. Why did you vote for me? Do you really believe I would do that?
Zack is the emo, and aggressive middle brother of Gabriel and Valen, best friend of Ashley, and the apple of Thomas' eye. He is mainly apart of the group because of his brothers forcing him to join them in gaming sessions, and he stays because of Ashley. Zack comes off as harsh and unnecassrily violent, but does have a soft spot deep down in his heart. He has a hard time getting along with other members of the group (especially Adam, Kiera, Luke, and Thomas (for only a while)), and often lashes out at others (never Ashley). Proper relationships (friendship or otherwise) were never something that appealed to him, but over time he starts to allow more and more people into his life, and gain more compassion for others.
I'm not in the mood to deal with your shit, right now. If I were you, I would back the fuck off before I slit your throat in your sleep Thomas. Anyway, now that she is gone, I'll be leaving, too. I hate all of you.
Thank God he's gone. I don't like him at all. The only things I like are heavy metal, the misery and suffering of others, the colour black, Ashley, death, My Chemical Romance, etcetera.
It's all my fucking fault he's gone... He's gone because I took one of the only things that kept him going away from him...
Leilani is the beautiful, seductive-voiced, extremely sarcastic member of the group. She is locked in a rivalry with Keira (for reasons unbeknownst to either of them), but other than that is a loved and respected member. She is a practiced occultist, and is passionate about her work. Lei is very sarcastic and witty, and loves to tease others. She is not fond of romance of any sense, but doesn't miss up an opportunity to play-flirt (even though she ironically teases Thomas for being a flirt, himself).
You're as hot as Antartica during a snow-storm. And as much as I would love to stay, I have things to do that actually value in life.
It's nothing you need to worry your pretty little head about. Alright?
I wouldn't imagine hand-picking which of your friends you want to kill off...would ever be a pleasant experience, under any circumstance.
Katherine is extremely bubbly, cute, and energenic. She is a huge lover of romance (not so much for herself, but she has a dating life). She has an absolute pure heart of gold, and is the token sweetheart of the group.
Whoops, I gotta study. I’ll see you guys Wednesday!
Yup! I won't miss it for the world!
I live here too! Kiera, we have to meet up sometime!
Valen is the youngest sibling of Gabriel and Zack. They are genderfluid, but respond mainly to he/him pronouns. Valen is incredibly kind, and loves their older brothers to pieces. They are filled with so much joy and love, and sees the good in everyone and everything. They are extremely smart, and top of their class in school, resulting in them being labelled as "nerdy". Valen can be sarcastic and teasing at times, but it is all in good-natured fun.
Note: Valen only has a few lines in the first season, but become a lead character in the second season of the series, if the first season does well!
Man, you guys are lucky. I'll just be a Sophomore next year. But school is important.
Right! Bye guys.
Ashley, I'm sorry about what happened...with everyone. At least it's over now...
Gavin is the gothic older brother of Damon. He has a bad reputation outside of the group chat (and even within it). When the stakes are high he's almost always at ends with Ashley, who is constantly forgiving of him for his attitude and agression. Not many people in the group chat are fond of his presence, but he is rather nonchalant about the fact, and embraces it. The other group members question why he's even there if nobody really cares for him, but he stays anyway because Damon and Ashley insist
It's my graduation year! I get to get out of the Hell-hole you guys call "school".
However, I just found out a way for us both to get what we want. I'll send you the details.
What the fuck?! You guys think I'm the fucking person doing it?! Even you, Ashley!? (Pause) ...Well, I see how it is, then. Whatever...
Nia is the laid-back best friend of Keira. She doesn't have much to say often, but finds even the slightest of jokes extremely humourous and makes it a point to let everyone know how funny she thought it was. She has a huge crush on Damon, much to Keira's disappointment.
Note: Nia doesn't have many lines in season one, but becomes a lead character in the second season if the series does well!
Oh, hush Leilani. He's at least trying with his education.
*Laughing through her words* I'm crying right now!
*Laughing through her words* I'M CRYING AGAIN! OH MY GOSH! THAT'S HILARIOUS!
