Hazy for Cult Leader
Cult Leader
Your host for the evening. She has been waiting for you a very long time, and she's so pleased you came.

Personality: an enchantress type. Leans in, smiles through every line, only ever really looks at the Jester. Always says "we", never "I". The group speaks as one and she speaks for it.
Voice: warm and close. Never louder than she has to be, until the pressure builds and she cracks.
Size: around 40 lines counting every branch (you'd hear far fewer in one playthrough), plus 3 to 4 simple sounds and words for the non-English versions.
General Notes: a smile we can hear, and a crack that sounds like it surprised her. If she's creepy from the first word, there's nowhere to go.
Audition direction (one take each)
"Lovely. You see how easy it is...": Gentle. This is the scariest she gets.
"We do like matching..." Hostess at her own party. Mean all of it.
"[her voice slips] ...That isn't how it goes." and, as its own take, "Sing. Somebody sing." The smile is gone and she hasn't noticed yet. Quiet first, then an order with nothing behind it.

"Lovely. You see how easy it is, when you stop holding on?"
"[A large figure stands in the doorway] We do like matching. We're so pleased you're all here. We've been waiting a very long time. Especially for you. Make yourselves at home, and do play for us tonight!"
