Thank you for everyone who has auditioned so far, I realized I forgot to mention the YouTube page that it'll be posted on. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ9Xw0xQW4ABcoz0MMMERxw/featured
Grizzled, gruff. Like batman or daredevil. Self-monologues all the time. Drops one liners.
(Monologue) I shut the door and make my way up the stairs to the porch. I get greeted and they take my hat and coat. I’m wearing something casual, but not too casual. I notice two spiral staircases in the main foyer, crowded by people. I see Sir Edgar and I approach him.
With all due respect Sir, why are you still having this party then? Why didn’t you call this off?
(Monologue) As Edgar talks and thanks everyone. I look around seeing the smiling faces. Edgar really does make a difference in these people's lives, and they all greatly appreciate him for that.
Sure thing! Wish I got an invitation.
Oh! Thank you, Detective. You enjoy your night.
Old guy who served in the Royal Army.
John. You made it. I’m glad you could be here, we should talk in my office, come with me.
It’s my pleasure. Now, onto important matters. Detective, I have received a letter. A death threat. I’m going to die tonight.
I have a name to withhold John. These people see me as a figurehead of peace for this city. If I had called off this party, a party that's for the people, then they would know that something is wrong, and that I am weak and vulnerable. I am going to die tonight, John. I called you here so you can finally have a lead on The Deck of 52. John. When I die tonight, promise me you’ll take down the Deck. Promise me!
Oh my goodness! I am so sorry. I did not see you there Mister…
Well, what a lovely name. I am Gertrude Brant. I’m a maid here for the estate.
I don’t know much. I just started working here for Mr. Drake. I got hired just last month.
She is a stunning actress that flirts with John.
(In Whisper) Excuse me? I thought I recognized you outside. You’re Detective John Lockhart.
Oh, thank you Detective. You’re not too bad yourself. I bet the lady at home is really lucky.
What if I ask you to make some time Mr. Lockhart?
served in the Royal Army with Edgar, close personal friend
What do you mean you don’t like the wine?
You’re being ridiculous. Ed hand-picked these. He also had a lot of it during the after parties after the war (laughs).
You only needed me to talk for you since your English wasn’t the best, or so you said.
the wife of Jack, USSR Spy who turned her back and joined the allies. Think Yelana from the MCU.
I just don’t think it is that tasty
You two were always partying after the war. I think that is why I liked you so much, you were only around when I needed you
Were you always that gullible? Because I had you talk for me for a long time. It was really cute of you (laughs).
