Characters to be cast:

​​

• Ara Wilson - lead narrator who switches between detective and normal voices

  • (Noir detective voice) It was Friday, 1:08 pm., and the City of the Guardians was so humid that the saunas and steam rooms downtown were colder and forming cloud banks that soon rained indoors.​

  • (normal) Ara Wilson, RagNet. I understand you might have seen Aliya Nelson sometime before she disappeared?

• Oliver Michaelson - lead, partner of Ara Wilson, very grounded voice

  • The power went out for two minutes. We were up front and no one was rushing outside, only inside. What else happened here?​

  • Well for starters, Aliya Nelson is missing. The voice actress behind “Raine Ershine” in the latest Street Club Sports series remaster, and cosplayer extraordinaire.

• Nida Kruz - possible witness, stand assistant at Fan Expo

  • ​Welcome back, Aliya. I hope you– (lightning strikes) GUH!!! Is everyone alright– OH NO! WHERE’D SHE GO?!

  • It was 12:35, I think, when I last saw her. Aliya was just talking with her agent about business, or that’s what it looked like before the blackout.

• Clair Voiance - possible witness, haughty cosplayer with the most Japanese "ohoho" energy

  • ​No, I’m not taking autographs right now. I’m on a break.

  •  She wasn’t here before the lightning struck. I was busy with fans doing selfies, but I would have easily seen her from this wall.

• Ren Faraday - possible witness, voice actor with a wide range between boisterous and grounded

  • (acting persona) And just who in the Mother’s name are you who dares approach me!?

  • No, she wasn’t here. But another woman with the same cosplay was definitely here where she shouldn’t have been.

• Bernie Bridges - possible witness, security officer with a bad attitude

  • ​(annoyed) Oh no, not you RagNet chumps again.

  • Her agent definitely was here without her. Rushed out of here when the blackout hit.

• Fan Expo Fans/Medic (4 roles)

  • ​Hey, do you think we’ll get to see Aliya Nelson? We’ve been here for a bit.

  • I don’t think anyone took her. Although… Some of these people look suspicious.

  • ​This man was struck by lightning just as he opened the doors forcibly. We’re working to keep him alive.

• Aliya Nelson - the missing voice actress/cosplayer

  • It wasn’t so much that I went missing. I was out here the whole time.​

  • Thanks for the concern. Let’s all go inside and try to explain everything.
