Worm Full-Cast Production - Arc 3: Agitation
scaredpon for Sophia Hess / Shadow Stalker
Sophia is an athletic and pretty woman, but aggressive and easy to anger.
At the story's beginning she is 15 years old, and at the end she is 18. In costume as Shadow Stalker she is even more aggressive and angry. She is serving as a Ward as a condition of her parole for having nearly killed a man.
Sophia's secret identity as Shadow Stalker is intended to be an important twist; auditions should take that into account.
This is a continuation of the casting from Arc 2, to garner a wider pool of auditions, and may close early if needed.
[In costume, as Shadow Stalker. Talking about someone she bullies while not in costume, but who doesn't know this. Don't include narration.]
Shadow Stalker bound my wrists with what I guessed was a plastic wrist-tie. Too tight. Then she turned to my dad, and her voice was hushed. “Look at this crowd. These people. They’re scared. A place like this, with this much suppressed panic, fear and worry, this many people close together? I don’t care if your daughter is an idiot or just ill. She’s proven to be volatile in a powder-keg situation. It’s both dangerous and stupid to have her here. You can cut off the plasti-cuffs when she’s separated from anyone she might harm.” (5.3)
[Out of costume, as Sophia. "Hebert" is pronounced "heeb-ert".]
Sophia gave me a look of pure loathing, “You’re a coward, Hebert. A rat. You know you’re a nerd, you’re flat chested, scrawny. Nobody likes you, nobody wants you for a friend, you’re not good at anything. So you run, you hide, skip school, stay quiet, don’t do anything with your waste of a life. And if things get tough, if anyone decides to have a little fun at your expense, you go crying to the people in charge, because you can’t take it.” (7.5)
[In costume, as Shadow Stalker. Responding to a question from her teammate. Her actions are being controlled by someone else.]
“Because I’ve been up since five in the morning, it’s well past midnight now, and I’m going to have to start doing fucking paperwork the second we get these guys in a cell. I’m not allowed to walk away until they’re in custody, so if I let you foam them, I’m going to have to wait another half an hour to an hour for the solvent to get mixed and brought to them, five or ten minutes for it to work. Fuck that, they’re down. Listen to the hero who just took down a whole fucking team and get them in the truck.” (10.2)
