Notes and Additional Lines to assist1-Tip: Sound embarrassed, and anxious
Um, sorry if I come across as a little annoying. I'm starting to sound like more of a motormouth than my friend. I just know what it's like to be the friendless new kid in school, and-
2- Tip: Sound curious
Wait, weren't you one of the girls interrogated about that murder?
3-Tip: Sound panicky
WHAT?! We can't fight that thing! Look at these! They're fricken noodle arms!
4- Tip: "GUN NOISE WITH YOUR MOUTH" means make gun sounds, not saying the line. He is just running his mouth here.
Say, you look like a zombie, y'know. Did you not have a full night's rest or something? I've definitely been there, the other night I stayed up playing video games until I fell asleep. When my mom came in and woke me up for school, she said I was like a retired war veteran having a PTSD flashback. I guess I had a dream about the game I was playing, Call of Battle, so I woke up screaming about snipers on the rooftops and foot soldiers breaching our wall, and I guess I thought I had a machine gun in my hand because I was making that (GUN NOISE WITH YOUR MOUTH) sound, and acted like I was holding one in my hands-
5-
Tip: Sound distraught, the beaten down want to give up kind.
Well I guess, In my free time, I try to solve some of the murders that have happened here. Things here aren't always hunky Dory, ya know. Been doing it for a couple of years but most of my investigations just…..lead to a dead end.

Eric Wellington is the third main character in the series. He's sarcastic, sassy and stubborn, but deep down is sweet, shy guy who tries to do the right thing. Eric is quite expressive, especially when he is sarcastic. When he is angered, his voice is BOOMING as if he is just fed up with everyone's bullshit.
His vocal range is mid-tone (not nasally) and the link below is an example of his voice.

Hey, I wanted to sleep on that comfy looking couch, believe me! But your mother is cautious about a break in as well, doesn't wish to risk me getting offed my some robber. Smart woman, if only her SON took after her!
Uhh...So DON'T shake it when it makes a funny noise,right?
I forgot to mention purchasing match sticks but I heard rubbing twigs together can spark a fire! At least I think...Even the tiniest details are foggy.
4. (exploding anger) FINE! I’ll just find myself a host! I don’t need you!

Leah is a mid 30's early 40's Mother. She's optimistic, fun-loving, and spontaneous, but also stern. She is also a kind, caring, over protective but is still a child at heart.
Look, you have no reason to feel unsafe. Please just give this a chance. It'll be like opening to a clean page for all of us. Just… please remember to keep your conspiracies to yourself? If it weren't obvious, not everyone takes too kindly to it, especially considering your age…
There's nothing to be scared of. The shadows are just that...shadows. Not monsters.
Hmm… I suppose you can take the little rascals to Pete’s Pizza Kingdom. I've seen the ads, and a pizzeria full of bouncy houses does sound like heaven on earth for children!
This is Grace's Dad, Alex rebus, He plays a minor role in the series. Please, if you audition MAKE SURE we can be able to contact you when needed! Thank you.
Grace Rebus! I say lights out young lady!
Listen, I’m sure there's a reasonable explanation for it. An old friend of your mom’s gave us directions when things were getting a little...difficult back home. She was even nice enough to look into housing for us and send money for the trip. That's all you need to know.
Didn't we buy you a diary not too long ago? Remember the counselor’s advice: to write your surroundings? That should calm you down. An author in the family isn't a shabby idea, either
