A Cold And Heartless Lullaby *PAID* (Sci-fi Audiobook) Final Round
bryncurry for Cheat
Cheat is an enigma. To those that don't know her, she looks like she might be insane. She's cracked, but she likes it that way. Even being a head shorter than everyone in the room, she still intimidates everyone. She demands attention at any cost, fear for a little extra. Once a perfect child, now a psycho criminal she will accomplish anything she sets out to do. It's impossible to tell what she is thinking at any point and if you cross her... well... It's best not to think about it.
She acts childish and impulsive, but those who have seen her never regard her as naive. There is a sharpness to it that puts people on edge.
Her voice is slightly fried from all the smoking she does, but don't let it take over, just let it supplement your voice. She is effortlessly cool and although she is excitable and childish, she is hardly feminine in the way she talks. There should be a dark edge to her lines, like years of trauma and conflict are brimming underneath her cool and confident exterior.

(Spoken to a robot she has captured. She is toying with it, and having way too much fun in the process.)
Helloooo! Anybody in there? (Overly dramatic sigh) Oh well, I guess it doesn’t value its life, we can still use it for scraps. Drop him, Mute.
(This is a moment where her crazy slips through. She mocks an incapacitated guard but there is nothing fun about it. Onlookers are deeply disturbed as she presses into his wound and licks her finger clean.)
Oh, I’m sorry, Is the stillwater cold? Does it make you uncomfortable?
(Playful. With a wink)
I know. I'm the best.
(She is finally showing some emotion. This moment signifies her descent into madness near the end of the book)
I can't live like this! I won't! Not again!
(Madness and despair has been replaced with rage. She has decided to take control of her situation. This line MUST be yelled as she is addressing a crowd of 400,000 people without a microphone)
Enough of your rules! This is our turf now!
(Interrupting a character who was about to introduce himself with his real name.)
NOPE! We don’t use real names around here, The circle of trust only goes so deep.
Hmmm... How about this? I’ll shake your hand and choose the first word that comes to my mind.
(She shakes his mechanical hand so vigorously that it pops off. Seeing this causes her to burst into manic laughter, and the fit carries into the next sentence, snorts included.)
No! Wait! I’ve got it! How about Leper?
