Tony

Unpaid
In the clouds a lot of the time, but capable of being friendly. Very lonely. Also narrates, and has some big emotional moments. Quite a robust and emotionally demanding role.
Hah. Good luck with that. Real low sex drive across the board around here.
[Narration] It was a healthy, green summer leaf when it died — it seems to have deemed it time to feel the spirit, the messy orange popsicle light of a child — to be in the clear, ultimate head of a child — to be a child. In turn, I deem it time to leave, and I lift off into the endless sky.
[Choking up] You’re always changing, one day you’ll vaporize, you’ll dissipate, and you won’t change until you find a way to be complete, and you can’t be happy looking forward or looking back. You can feel happy today. You can feel happy today! Don’t look forward, look down at your fucking feet, stay here, STAY HERE!

Role assigned to:
John Patneaude
One of the best friends Tony has had in years — very friendly and fun-loving. Also shrieks as he falls out of the sky.
[Chuckles] No wonder. Alright, c'mon, let's go haunt a house.
Sounds like something to look forward to.
[Shrieks in terror] What the HELL are you talking about, man?!

Role assigned to:
nolaklop
Novice ghost hunter. She spooks easily, but is truly driven to find evidence of the supernatural. Doesn't know how to talk to ghosts, and is unsure of herself when she does.
Okay, I am SURE I did. It was calling to me... like... like it felt lonely. Like it wanted to be seen. Like it wanted love.
(Spooked cold) Did... did you see that?
If you could tell me… how I’m doing, like, just in general, in my life… If I’m doing it wrong. Er, if you could tell me what’s in my future… whatever you can do, sorry, I don’t want to be a bother.

katy5johnson5
The head honcho of a group of teenage friends, screws around with a Ouija board. Has an aloof sense of humor, but she does get genuinely freaked out and concerned when some paranormal activity goes down.
You're being an ass.
(Chuckling) Look, uh, Tony-! Okay, look, Tony, we don’t mean any disrespect. But you gotta admit… TONY… is a funny name for a ghost! Just… just not really a ghostly name, y’know?
Holy shit! Oh, my God. HOLY SHIT! Jesus CHRIST, CJ, are you okay?!

Steph
A member of the Ouija crew. Enthusiastic person, excited about the seance. Freaks out over some ghostly happenings.Â
Ooh, good one! Is there a god? Tony, is there a god?
[Screams]
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! OH, MY GOD! Shit, shit, shit, ghosts are real, ghosts are real, oh my GOD!

Role assigned to:
Electricstar
Lola's brother. Sits in on the seance, but is not happy about it. Nervous person. Gets hit in the face with a planchette.
We shouldn't be doing this! This is unholy!
Yeah. Yeah. We're done with this STUPID board, though.
[Heavy, panicky breathing, on the verge of tears]
[Shocked grunt in pain]
Voice Actor
Therapist

Unpaid
Role assigned to:
JHarper
Ghostly therapist. Speaks professionally -- friendly, but with a spirit of neutrality, as therapists often need to. That being said, not a very good therapist. But I mean he tries.
Do you feel happy?
Mm. Alright, well, that's why you're here. We're here to work through things like that.
Not really, no. I feel content.

Role assigned to:
nightskrel
Another ghost hunter who walks around the Queen Mary with Noelle. A bit more skeptical when it comes to paranormal investigation, has more of a sense of humor about the thing. Enjoys spending time with Noelle.
Nah man, you’re playing tricks on yourself! None of this is real.
Hey, YOU'RE the one who’s serious about this investigation thing, you’re the one who ‘saw a white mist.’
People stay in there all the time. In the dark, alone. Apparently it’s one of the most haunted rooms on the whole ship.

Ayy!
