Strixhaven Week 5
Project Overview
Wizards of the Coast has begun releasing online web fiction for Magic: the Gathering once again! It is our goal on the Voice of All podcast to bring these stories to life through audio.
This week we are casting for roles in one Strixhaven chapter: Blue-Green Ribbons. Strixhaven is their newest set focusing on the tropes of magical schools and we have many major roles to cast. You can read the stories here:

If you're interested in hearing our past works, you can listen to all of them here:

We can also be found on Spotify, Soundcloud, Stitcher, YouTube, iTunes, and Google Podcasts! We are looking to keep up with the release of Wizards' stories as best as possible and will release our version the second following Friday, so expect to be cast this week and have your lines to me within a few days. This schedule may be slightly different for the time being as they are releasing two stories a week, but our schedule will remain one a week.
As a general casting note, I do not typically have any voice requirements in mind for characters. I would much rather hear your interpretations and choose from among them.
Payments listed are for this particular set of stories. If they appear in future chapters, the value there may differ based on number of lines, but all chapters will be paid. All chapters and characters will be paid at once near the end of the set's production.

The 13 year old prodigy Zimone Wola is already in her second year at the magical university of Strixhaven, on track to join the math-focused college of Quandrix. Beyond being a genius, Zimone is cool and confident, ready to stand up for herself be it against a Dean of her college or a known villain trying to sweet talk her for information.
The Vorzani Conjecture is an ancient magical/mathematical ritual concerning infinite sequences of unpredictable forms of mana. [taking notes]
"I don't think I want to continue this conversation. My personal study is my life and shouldn't be subject to faculty scrutiny." [standing up to a teacher]
"The two of you should head off without me so you can snatch up seats in the front row."
Zimone's grandmother Nimiroti used to be a well-respected professor at Strixhaven. During an incident with a malicious group trying to get information out of her, she cast a memory wipe spell on herself. This unfortunately took far more from her than was necessary and now she is only sometimes lucid. Warm and caring, she may not always remember her family, but she knows she loves them.
"I don't know who you are, but I know you're someone I love." [meeting her granddaughter though she can't remember her]
Packages of Ribbons. Numbers one step backward to go on forever. Living books that talk to you on the pathway of light. [Her notes in a complex math book from when she was still a professor]
Happy birthday Zimone,
It's going to be hard getting these packages to you now that you're in Strixhaven. With all the eyes lurking in the shadows.
So, this will be the last one. I hope you put the ribbons to good use.
[A note in her granddaughter's birthday present]
The Codex Vocifera, or "Codie" is a walking, talking book. He likes to babble on and on, happy to expound on anything and everything the students or teachers might be interested in. He speaks rather formally in this story.
"Zimone Wola, granddaughter of Nimiroti Wola, what brings you here on a dark and eerie night?"
She came back to Strixhaven, but we noticed that the once-esteemed Professor Nimiroti was no longer herself. She had cast a memory-loss spell on herself because if she couldn't remember the Vorzani Conjecture, then there would be nothing to tell the Oriq. And then she left Strixhaven, and never came back."
[laughing like it knows something Zimone doesn't] "There is no more revealing to be done."
Wallader is the postman for Strixhaven college. He's naturally slow at his job, being a small turtlefolk, but refuses to use magic like anyone else at the college might to speed up his job. Because of this he likes to complain to anyone and everyone that might listen about how hard his job is. He is described only in story as having a squiggly voice, so slow and wavery is the name of the game.
"Are you Zimone Wola?"
"A package came in for you two weeks ago. No sender's name or address. Lightweight. Wrapped with an optical illusive paper of spiraling bricks. I would have delivered it earlier, but, you know . . ." [implying how hard his job is]
"They shouldn't be making café stools this high. You don't need to reach for the ceiling for the drink to slap."
A friend of Zimone's since school began, she is a new recruit to Prismari, the college for magic through art and the elements.
"Ugh, please tell me we're not going to be stuck-up next session when the new mages come to Strixhaven."
"Of course you didn't, because you ran off immediately after you handed in your script." [you missed an announcement from the teacher! duh]
"Let's hurry up. The Mage Tower game is about to start." [impatient]
A friend of Zimone's since school began, they are a new recruit to Silverquill, the college for magic through poetry and oration.
"How many stuck-up second-year mages did you have to fight to save these seats for us?"
"A mystery package..." [intrigued]
"Yes, people are already trooping to the stadium." [impatient]
