JoffScript for Recurring Wrong-Number Caller
Recurring Wrong-Number Caller
A strange alien or civilian who repeatedly calls the postal station while attempting to reach unrelated businesses and people.
The caller should sound casual and completely sincere. They are never embarrassed about reaching the wrong number and may not fully understand why the player cannot help them. Their logic is strange but internally consistent.
This is a comedy role, but the actor should avoid performing it like a loud cartoon character. The humor should come from confident delivery, unusual concerns, and perfectly normal reactions to impossible situations.
The same actor can use slight variations in delivery for different calls, but the character should remain recognizable as the same recurring caller.
