As a part of our Young Artists' Initiative, MediaContex will work with its partners to create a pilot of an audiodrama of our students' original idea:
Synopsis
Her wish comes true when she stumbles across a demonic circle, which allows her to summon Calcifer, a demon-in-training who hopes to earn his horns by terrorising the human who summoned him.
Sydney gets out of this mess by making a bargain - in return for sparing her sanity, she offers to help him target and terrorise her bullies.
At first, Sydney is thrilled to make their lives a living hell. However, this changes once her thirst for vengeance is fulfilled, and she discovers that her deal with the devil comes with a price...
Character List
sydney
Gender: Female
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.
Headstrong and witty, Sydney is a teenager who actively rebels against the world. Although her actions and decisions may be questionable, Sydney hopes that she may inspire change by standing up to those who abuse their power. Although making a deal with the devil isn't her best option to do so, she believes that it may allow her to achieve her goal.
Lines:
- (Neutral) Hell isn't the only place that causes mortals to suffer. Have you ever been to high school?
- (Happy) Demons like making deals, don't they? (Chuckles) Well, I've got an offer that you can't refuse.
- (Disappointed) There's so much hate in this world. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm starting to wonder if getting my revenge was worth it.
- (Angry) I hate you. There's no way a simple apology will change that.
Calcifer
Gender: Male
Accent: Standard American is preferred, but not compulsory. You may audition with any accent you choose.
Charming and debonaire, Calcifer is a demon-in-training who hopes to become one of the most powerful entities in hell. Although Calcifer does not have much experience on the field, he is a charismatic, resourceful devil who can talk his way out of any mess. He will not hesitate to get what he wants, even if it means that his allies will pay the price.
Lines:
- (Neutral) Hmm. You're offering me five souls for the price of one? (Chuckles) You've got a deal.
- (Happy) Greetings, human! I'll be your tormentor this evening. Now, let's get started, shall we?
- (Irritated) Jeez, you're dense. I'm just a demon-in-training. If you want to see real power, you should see my superiors in action.
- (Angry) You should have thought of that before making a deal with me! Every bargain comes with a price!
