Library of Ruina: The Fandub (Round 5 - Urban Plague)
Zach Lofland for Church of Gears Worshippers
(Multiple people will be cast for this role!)
The Church of Gears is an organization built around a philosophy of nihilism, believing that everyone is a "gear" meant to fill only one specific purpose in the City so the whole thing can run. One member is a new one expressing doubts who gets turned into a Thought Gear right away, but the others are devoted zealots who believe firmly in their purpose... or lack of one, arguably. They first appear going up against Full-Stop Office, and in the future parts of the game some accompany their leaders into the Library, serving as supporting combatants.
For this role, I'm looking for any variety of voices - one person will be cast as a worshipper having doubts about the whole thing, and for that role I'm looking for someone who can be depressed and later on kinda fearful. For the majority of members, though, I'm looking for people able to praise their leader with mindless zealotry/faith, like a cult! I've included four lines for these folks - two for the single worshipper and two for the zealots! You can read all four if you're fine with being cast as either role, but if you prefer one or the other, you can just read their two lines![Nervous Member - moping about their routine.] "Everything is so dreary. And so is my life. I wake up at 6 in the morning, go to work by 8, and do the same work with the same face every single day. By the time I leave work, it’s already 10 in the evening... I’m not sure what I’m doing anymore." [Nervous Member - realizing they're about to be turned into a gear.] "A thought gear...? That means those gears on the back of your head are...? W-Wait, am I really gonna turn into a gear?! Wait! Wait! I didn't know this would happen!"
[Faithful Member - chanting religiously.] "As the gears turn, so too does life fulfill its cycle. Praise be to our leader!" [Faithful Member - falling in battle.] "Why... can't I hear the sound...? Why is it so dim... I'm not sure what I should do anymore... please brighten the path ahead..."
