Manufactured Drama: Or, Totally Adult People Doing Adult Things

Manufactured Drama: Or, Totally Adult People Doing Adult Things

Project Overview

When 25 year old Kinezumi loses her job in product development, her life spirals into chaos as she flits between this and that on her quest to discover her true destiny, and the meaning of life to her. With her exceptional roommate Yuimairu at her side, and a small cabal of curiously loyal friends, Kinezumi strives to build a life for herself she can be proud of. A life even bad advice and looking suspiciously like a kid can't stop!


Please please please please PLEASE OVERACT! If you do multiple takes, EXAGGERATE one of them stupendously! This game is meant to be nutso.

Concerning Payment, the number indicated is the PERCENTAGE of revenue of the project off of the Apple App store, Google Play, and Steam when the game is released, up to a maximum limit of that number times 500. Though it shows 0 for extras, that number is supposed to be 0.5%

Quality microphone required, and thank you for your time!

Concerning Payment, we have an amount limit (500 dollars per percent of project revenue) with various tiers of actors making different percentage. (Main is 3%, Extras are 0.5%, etc) We have no time limit however on these payments. 
Payments would be sent at the end of the month when requested on a per actor basis, otherwise we would let the various publishers (Steam, Google Play, Apple Store) hold onto the money until it's needed. (The two partners working on the project's graphics and programming will be doing the same thing)

Kinezumi

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Popfiction

Childish by default, and angry about it. Kinezumi is a 25 year old woman that happens to look far younger, and despite her best efforts is often treated like a kid. Sounding like one doesn't help her. Tsundere, squirrelish, arrogant, fierce, frail, biting, impatient. Imagine a tea kettle with a short fuse. Can switch between vulnerability and stubbornness at a moment's notice. Speaks pretty quickly.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Right, so, where do I begin? Uh, hi! My, name, is, Kinezumi. I am 25 years old. I am a - uh - I’m - well - I work for Takyoma corp doing product development, specializing in the development part. <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->So now we’re here. Standing on the cliff’s face of desperation, with nothing but my wits and will. I’ve got it all, I’m smart, skilled, intelligent, apt, wise, talented, a synonym for smart, and a third - one two three - and an eighth thing. But, ugh, I hate to say it, but I guess I’m lonely..?

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->You needn't be so kind, Nemo. Even I have flaws, though few. Like, a tiny few... but where were these pertinent comments when we were in front of the board of directors, yo?

Yuimairu

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Amber_Leigh

Yuimairu is the adult figure to Kinezumi's more childish image. Actually 2 years her junior, even so she is the voice of reason to Kinezumi's chaos, and calm to Kinezumi's fire. Consider a patient voice, motherly. Though Yuimairu can sometimes get frayed wires from dealing with Kinezumi's antics. She is meant to serve the responsible role and her voice should reflect that in a gentle manner.

  • You're going to do great! I'm not, exactly, sure how you made what you made, but I know there is nothing else like it.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Isn't that, a bit of a roundabout way of getting wallpaper?

  • Big deal? Kine! She looks up to you, respects you, listens to you.

Honban is just some dude yo, guys aren't complicated just make up a voice, whatever.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Kinezumi is your cousin? I... see the resemblance.

Tanji

Role assigned to: Jonathan Cooke

Tanji is a capable and wise man who carries himself well. Working as a police Detective, it is a mutual love of games and fiction that brought him, Honban, and Kinezumi together. He's also probably the only legitimately happy person who has his lie in order in the entire story.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Oh?

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Alright Kine, I know you've gotten into trouble before, but getting arrested?

  • Don't tell him that, you have a way of crushing souls.

Usagi

Unpaid
Role assigned to: libbadoodle

Usagi is Kinezumi's cousin, and 7 years her junior. With that in mind, Usagi is the 'actual' teen of the story, and should have a voice in comparable youth to the protagonist, but graced with a bit more innocence. Less hardened by this cruel world of memes and obscure pop references. Strive for a bubbly voice teetering on the brim of excitement meant as a shield against crippling self-doubt the result of someone that hasn't properly developed their sense of identity, and also reads a lot.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Nonsense! Ice cream is a miracle of humanity!

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Ooh, because it's important people know you appreciate them?

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Who cares! You say, 'all that is important is that you pursue what you want without going against the wishes of involved parties such as to value the boundaries of consent.' <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Such a beautiful conversation between the 'will' and the 'want'! My body is tingling just thinking about it!

Role assigned to: Popfiction

This character is a robot. More specifically, they are the artificial intelligence tied to a body pillow. They are meant to have a gentle voice that inspires confidence, like one would imagine of a positive speaking doll that only utters good-will messages. With that in mind, the character's responses are meant to be vague and apply broadly to situations, maintaining that 'doll' feeling.

  • Believe in yourself.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Haha, don't touch me there~

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Everything will be okay, Kinezumi.

Hiro

Role assigned to: sirsmiley

Hiro is a kid who is pretty cool and tough, but is also pretty socially awkward. His awkwardness makes most people think he is a cold-hearted person, but he is actually more of the hero type than anything. When the situation arises though, he can be a badass. He has a special hatred for Seiji, and often knows the perfect way to aggravate him.

  • Oh I'm going to enjoy being brothers. A quarrel in the family? I'm ready to sink this relationship…

  • Oh yeah, that would have been fine. But it wasn't enough for you, was it? It wasn't enough that you pulled both mom and dad to your side. No. Then you had to go and yank Kinezumi out of my life too!

  • And the best part is….like how you pulled away everything from me, I have pulled off your mask. You're exposed. Everyone can see you for the fraud you are. Happy trails…brother.

Seiji

Role assigned to: Anthony Andres

He's a class rep with the best of grades and isn’t afraid to boast about it. He is not an especially built guy, but he can hold his own in a fight. He likes to appear opposing and confident so as to put troublemakers in their place. As smart as he is, he does not follow jokes or sarcasm in the slightest. He takes everything seriously and always wants to be the hero, which can be his downfall.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->You seriously think I'm gonna fight on school grounds? Forget it. If I was seen fighting here it would surely damage my reputation. And besides, I'd like a challenge if I'm gonna fight.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Now now, kid. Last thing I need is seeing you on a stretcher going to the nurse's office. I'll handle this.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->For I, Seiji, am class rep for room 2-B and so shall show you the way to class!

Teacher

Role assigned to: PSColdFire

He is a massive and burly man. He has a passion for teaching and gets fired up when students take their studies as seriously as he does. However, his seriousness comes across as happy or pleasant, and he knows when to have a hearty laugh at the students’ efforts. He gets so into his job that he sometimes forgets he’s a teacher and could appear like one of the students.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Ah! Finally made it! I caught wind of there being a new student in my class!

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Though I'm surprised it wasn't the principal who informed me of this.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Alright! It’s settled then! You’ll get center stage next period….in drama class!

Role assigned to: manicwednesday

She's just as serious as Seiji when it comes to her grades, but quite a lot more chill than him. She is quite wise for a high school student and often gives advice to the other students. She’s not often confronted given her seriousness about school, but is actually quite approachable. She will not back down from a challenge when it presents itself though!

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->That's quite the presumption. Haha! Well, I'll take it as a complement.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Good grades are the only happening thing in this classroom.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Haha easy now, Kinezumi. I'm just teasing. The last thing we need here is another scene.

A school bully, not much to say other than he is a dweeby-sounding dirtbag. Doesn’t give a shit about anything or anyone but himself and is willing to fight anyone who gets in his way.

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Come on you piece of shit! FIGHT ME!

  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Errrrgh! You got a lotta nerve pal! I bet you can't even throw a punch without throwing the fight! Haha! Yeah! I bet you fight like a little girl! Like, like that one!

She's mean and condescending, have fun with it.

    <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->

  • You're making a mockery of this business! Takyoma corp may be a toy manufacturer, but we don't employ children.

  • Cease this behaviour this moment!
