UaU 1: The Lost One

UaU 1: The Lost One

Project Overview

# ๐ŸŒŒ UNKNOWNs and Uncertainty (UaU)


### *A non-competitive object show*


**UNKNOWNs and Uncertainty (UaU)** is an upcoming non-competitive animated webseries about a group of **Algebraliens and mathematical symbols** who are trying to find their place in an uncertain world.


The story follows ** Spesmilo**, a traumatized but caring mentor who takes in symbols and letters that have become lost or feel like they don't belong anywhere. Their newest arrival, **Root**, is a nervous and mysterious newcomer who struggles to trust others.


Alongside them are **U**, a quiet and emotionally guarded Algebralian; **F**, an energetic and chaotic character hiding a more vulnerable side; and **L**, an impulsive perfectionist who constantly clashes with F despite being friends.


What begins as a seemingly cozy group living together gradually develops into a story involving **friendship, identity, emotional struggles, mystery, comedy, and the consequences of the characters' pasts.**


### โœฆ What inspired UaU?


UaU was inspired by **Problems and Solutions (PaS)** and the broader **Object Show Community**, particularly the idea of turning mathematical concepts and symbols into characters.


However, **UaU is its own independent universe**, with its own characters, story, lore, setting, and themes.


The project also takes inspiration from **indie animation, animatics, surreal comedy, character-driven webseries, and experimental music/visuals.**


### ๐ŸŽฌ Production

The series is planned to have **45 episodes**, although production will happen gradually rather than expecting the team to complete everything at once.

## โšก F โ€” Episode 1 VA Quotes


### ๐ŸŽญ Main audition lines


> **โ€œOh yay! I win!โ€**

> *Excited and completely convinced they won.*


> **โ€œ...That doesn't make any sense.โ€**

> *Genuinely confused.*


> **โ€œSo... can I try?โ€**

> *Hopeful and eager.*


> **โ€œGRRRRRRRRR...โ€**

> *Trying WAY too hard to use telekinesis.*


> **โ€œALMOSTโ€”โ€**

> *Getting increasingly intense.*


> **โ€œI WOOOOON!!โ€**

> *Absolutely ecstatic after blowing up the Jenga tower.*


> **โ€œMY NAME'S F!!โ€**

> *Very energetic introduction.*


> **โ€œYesssss!โ€**

> *Proud little thumbs-up energy.*


### ๐Ÿƒ Chase scene


> **โ€œAFTER HER!โ€**

> *Sudden determination.*


> **โ€œThis hallway feels longer than I remembered...โ€**

> *Confused/tired while running.*


> **โ€œUh-oh.โ€**

> *The exact moment F realizes something went horribly wrong.* ๐Ÿ’€


> **โ€œOh no! What are we going to do?!โ€**

> *Genuinely panicking.*


### ๐Ÿˆ Spots scene


> **โ€œOoohhhh, she's a square root! Hooray! Work completed!โ€**

> *Extremely excited, like F has just solved the greatest mystery ever.*


> **โ€œDoes that mean we're not in trouble?!โ€**

> *Suddenly VERY hopeful.*


### ๐Ÿ˜ญ Ending


> **โ€œAaaaaaawwwww!โ€**

> *Maximum disappointed F.*


---

> **F is extremely expressive!** Don't be afraid to exaggerate their reactions. They can speak quickly when excited, get loud when overwhelmed, and have sudden shifts in emotion. However, F isn't *just* comic reliefโ€”their energetic personality can sometimes hide their more vulnerable side.


And because F is **autistic + ADHDistic**, the VA doesn't need to imitate a stereotype of either. I'd focus on **F's individual personality**: impulsive, energetic, easily excited, emotionally expressive, and sometimes overwhelmed.

# ๐Ÿ–ค U โ€” Episode 1 VA Quotes


### ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Main lines


> **"...Hey. I'm U."**

> *Quiet, reserved introduction.*


> **"...His name is F."**

> *Correcting F without much emotion.*


> **"...please stop..."**

> *Tired and increasingly stressed by L and F arguing.*


> **"You two are the newest."**

> *Calmly explaining things to Root and F.*

### Flashback / emotional lines


> **"Long before you arrived..."**

> *Quiet, reflective.*


> **"Spesmilo took in people who had lost their place."**


> **"They gave us food. A home. A family."**

> *Warm at first, but increasingly melancholy.*


> **"...Then Dollar came."**


> **"They felt betrayed."**


> **"They cried. They argued."**


> **"...And in the end... Spesmilo let Dollar go."**


> **"...She never came back."**

> *This should be one of U's most emotionally restrained lines. Don't overdo the sadnessโ€”the fact that U is trying to keep their voice steady can make it hit harder.*

---


## ๐ŸŽง Voice direction


> **Low, calm, slightly tired, and emotionally restrained.** U doesn't usually raise their voice, even when everyone around them is being chaotic. They can sound somewhat monotone at times, but their emotions should still come through during serious scenes.

# ๐ŸŒฑ โˆš Root โ€” Episode 1 VA Quotes


### ๐ŸŒฒ Opening โ€” scared & vulnerable


> **โ€œN-No... no...โ€**

> *Quiet, breathless, trying not to cry.*


> **โ€œ...What?โ€**

> *Confused after seeing Spesmilo's extremely serious T-pose flyer.* ๐Ÿ˜ญ


> **โ€œM-My name is...โ€**

> *She tries to introduce herself, but gets too nervous to finish.*


### ๐Ÿ  Meeting everyone


> **โ€œ...Ef?โ€**

> *Genuinely confused about F's name.*


> **โ€œ...Why?โ€**

> *Quietly asking why everyone cares about whether she's a currency symbol.*


> **โ€œ...What?โ€**

> *Confused by the absolutely bizarre things happening around her.*


### ๐Ÿˆ Spots scene โ€” excited Root


This is where I'd let the VA **break out of her usual nervousness**:


> **โ€œYou have a cat?!โ€**

> *Suddenly excited.*


> **โ€œWell what's her name?!โ€**

> *Curious and enthusiastic.*


> **โ€œWhy is her name that?โ€**

> *Genuinely baffled by U's explanation.* ๐Ÿ˜ญ


> **โ€œOoh~โ€**

> *Soft, fascinated.*


> **โ€œI love her! I love her! I love her!โ€**

> *Maximum cat excitement.*


### ๐Ÿ˜  After overhearing L and F


> **โ€œ...โ€**

> *Root realizes they're talking about her.*


> **โ€œ...โ€**

> *She backs away slowly.*


Then she **runs**.


No dialogue needed hereโ€”the VA could provide breathing/panting and a frightened gasp.


### ๐Ÿ’ฅ After the picture breaks


> **โ€œOh my gosh...โ€**

> *Quietly horrified by what just happened.*


### ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Voice direction for Root


> **Root's voice should be soft, hesitant, and nervous. She often pauses or stutters when she's scared or unsure. However, she's not constantly whisperingโ€”when something genuinely excites her, like Spots, she becomes much more expressive. Her emotional range should go from frightened โ†’ shy โ†’ confused โ†’ fascinated โ†’ excited.**

## ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ L's VA direction


> **L should sound confident, expressive, and slightly smug. They speak like they usually believe their ideas are the best ones in the room. When something goes wrong, their confidence can quickly turn into frustration. They're not intentionally cruelโ€”sometimes they simply don't realize that their words hurt others.**

# ๐Ÿฉต โ‚ท Spesmilo โ€” Episode 1 VA Quotes


### ๐ŸŒฒ Opening โ€” mysterious & playful


> **โ€œ...Another lost one.โ€**

> *Quietly delighted, as if they've just discovered someone who needs their help.*


> **โ€œHello, my dearies!โ€**

> *Warm, cheerful, welcoming.*


> **โ€œI have wonderful news.โ€**

> *Excitedly building suspense.*


> **โ€œA new friend has joined us.โ€**

> *Proud and affectionate.*


> **โ€œGo on, dear. Say hello.โ€**

> *Gentle encouragement toward Root.*


### ๐Ÿ  Showing Root around

> *Patient after Root hides behind them.*


> **โ€œWhy don't you all introduce yourselves first?โ€**

> *Trying to make Root feel less pressured.*


> **โ€œI'll give you a tour!โ€**

> *Suddenly very enthusiastic.*


### ๐Ÿ’œ The beloved picture


> **โ€œMy favorite picture.โ€**

> *Soft and affectionate.*


> **โ€œThey're... my beloved.โ€**

> *Genuinely sentimental.*


> **โ€œThey make me feel six thousand years younger.โ€**

> **โ€œAnyway! I have some tasks outside.โ€**

> *Immediately switches back to cheerful.*


### ๐ŸŒ… Their past


Then, after discovering Dollar belongs to the Currency Symbols Group:


> **โ€œ...You knew?โ€**

> *Quiet disbelief.*


> **โ€œWhy didn't you tell me?โ€**


> **โ€œI thought... we were a family.โ€**

> *Hurt, not angry.*


> **โ€œI can't keep you here.โ€**


> **โ€œGoodbye, Dollar.โ€**

> *Trying not to cry.*


That contrast could make Spesmilo's backstory hit **much harder**.

# ๐Ÿ’ฅ THE BROKEN PICTURE SCENE


This is where the VA gets to GO OFF. ๐Ÿ˜ญ


> **โ€œWell! That much I can see!โ€**

> *Trying to maintain composure.*


> **โ€œWho is responsible for this?!โ€**

> *Angry.*


Then:


> **โ€œL. Why are you pointing at me?โ€**


L:


> โ€œI meanโ€”โ€


Spesmilo:


> **โ€œ...I see.โ€**

> *Already realizing how ridiculous this explanation is.*


Then their disappointed-parent voice:


> **โ€œI really expected better from you all.โ€**


> **โ€œI did not have problems like this when I would bring any new symbols before.โ€**


> **โ€œI asked for a single, simple thing.โ€**


> **โ€œA rule you were all aware of.โ€**


And then the cat walks in. ๐Ÿ˜ญ


---


# ๐Ÿˆ Spots scene


> **โ€œ...โ€**

> *Noticing Root has completely abandoned the argument because CAT.*


> **โ€œOh.โ€**


> **โ€œYes. That is indeed a cat.โ€**

> *Completely deadpan.*


> **โ€œHm? Work?โ€**


> **โ€œWhat mission is he speaking of?โ€**

> *Genuinely confused.*


### ๐Ÿ’™ Forgiving them


> **โ€œOh, values! You little letters didn't need to go through all that for me!โ€**


> **โ€œIf anything, such an experience has... mentally prepared me for any futureโ€”โ€**


> **โ€œHmm... shenaniganry.โ€**


Then F:


> โ€œDoes that mean we're not in trouble?!โ€


Spesmilo:


> **โ€œOhohohoho! Nooo!โ€**


> **โ€œNo. No. No. No.โ€**

> **โ€œ...Y'all grounded.โ€**

## ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ VA direction


> **Warm, expressive, playful, and comforting, with a mature quality underneath. Spesmilo can become extremely theatrical when excited or angry, but their vulnerable scenes should be quieter and sincere. Their humor often comes from how dramatically they react to completely ridiculous situations.**


The **biggest thing**


**Don't make Spesmilo sound permanently serious.** Their trauma is important, but they're also a silly mentor who sleeps like a cat, slides around like a rock, makes dramatic announcements, and somehow ends Episode 1 by grounding everyone.
