My Little Pony (MLP) Fanfic Reading "Killing all the Right Ponies" by ObabScribbler
Radio Silence for Crescent
Crescent
He comes from a 'well-to-do' family. He appreciates the finer things in life, but he has a heart of gold. I imagine him sounding a bit like David from Schitt's Creek. Another way of thinking of him is as a male version of Rarity. He has an obviously male voice and his speech should have a tone/accent/cadence that is a bit posh, making for a great foil to Braeburn's 'country' twang.
Crescent is an original character (OC) who, in this production, is Braeburn's romantic partner. He's a bit cheeky and sarcastic, he is also very self-aware of who he is and how he comes off. I STRONGLY encourage people auditioning to read the story to get the best understanding of the following context of these lines and to best understand the character.
- english
- male adult
“I’m sighing. See me sighing? Are you going to spend the whole meal telling me I shouldn’t have made it because it doesn’t fit in with the idea of being an invalid or are you going to come and taste my delicious cooking?”
[Crescent has been found laying next to the toilet, having little energy/weak/in dispair and obviously had been retching]“But you shouldn’t have to. Not again.” [ a wet and gloopy Cough]“I hate this. You’re my boyfriend, not my carer. I’m an adult. I shouldn’t be so … so … helpless.”
[Crescent is dying and scared. The end of this sentence is cut off because his boyfriend kisses him] “Promise you won’t leave my side. I couldn’t … I couldn’t face the end without you there with me. Please. Oh Celestia, I’m … I’m so scared. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to – mrrf!”
