The Edge of Town
Project Overview
The Edge of Town follows two young adults, who work in a gas station at the edge of a small town called Shepherd's Glen. They have a strangely enthusiastic boss, an unfortunately strange bunch of regulars, and a frustratingly mysterious janitor. Strange things happen in the woods nearby, and it soon becomes their mission to figure out the secrets of the woods.

Well, officers always come here to check our cameras and ask us questions whenever someone pops up. So I’ve started handing them out, so when officers find them, they see the pamphlet! Hopefully…
Our complementary suicidal ideation packets! The woods near here are super dense, and we’re the only gas station for miles, so a lot of people stop here before… yaknow. I try and slip one into every bag!
I was just surprised is all! Your question caught me off guard, all I’m saying is that there haven't been many murders out here, not in a few years anyways.

NOTICE::
Prince is supposed to sound constantly condescending. He needs to sound as if he's always smiling, even if he's upset. He will likely never break this pattern of speech. I know the tag says southern, but try out different accents on him if you'd like!

Hey you two! How are my favorite employees? Not slacking off, I hope?
Ah… I see! Well, that’s a shame. How has it been training Noelle?
Well, I just wanted to check in and all! Can’t be too careful after what happened with the last one! Keep up the good work!

THIS CHARACTER WON'T HAVE ANY BIG MOMENTS UNTIL A FEW EPISODES IN! Please be on the younger side (19 or younger) because he is meant to be a romantic interest for the main character, who will be read by a 17 year old. His lines are meant to be read in a more monotone voice, but feel free to have fun with it! He doesn't have any written lines yet, so I'm using lines from various medias.

They say you can’t explain fire to a fish, but I imagine if they could, that fish would feel about like how you’re feelin’ right now.
Today you will meet a beautiful stranger. Actually hundreds of beautiful strangers. Everyone is beautiful and you know almost none of them.
If my agenda was to try as hard as I could to make sure no one thought I sucked, what the fuck would ever get done? How would I go about taming this world, or shaping reality for the better?

20$ on pump 3, please. I hope I’m not interrupting anything!
I don’t plan on sticking around long enough to find out about it.
A pack of cigarettes? Dealer’s choice, I don’t care.

I don't have any background male characters yet, so you'll read the same lines as the female background character.

Be prepared to pick up the slack when I can't, lol! This is a team effort, and everyone will have an input on scripts, but you'll be my second hand! You'll know all the plot points before they're revealed and you'll have executive order, etc. Please provide a 200-400 word piece of example writing. If you can't provide one here, email be at [redacted], and make the subject line "WRITING EXAMPLE"
You will ALSO be required to have Discord, just like the actors! If you'd like to be featured in episodes from time to time, that's also okay.
