All of the words said out loud for S02E30 of Audio Drama Debut, my podcast showcasing new audio drama, fiction and RPG trailers.
F/X - Dice shaking and rolled.
THE LIBRARIAN: Hello there.
Come in and help yourself to a yumyum, I'll be with you soon. I just need to finish this scenario with Doris. You remember Doris, she's one of the post witches, who delivers correspondence around the Library.
DORIS THE POST WITCH (Indignant): Post!
THE LIBRARIAN: Yes, sorry, I mean she does the special delivery service in the Library. Very important.
DORIS (Adamant): Post!
THE LIBRARIAN: We've just been roleplaying, since it's bring games to work day today. Admittedly it's not an official event in the Library of Audio Fiction, but it gives me a little break in October, when there's so many dramas, books, stories, actual plays and a few other things to collect.
Now, Doris, in the game, you've been trying to deliver your parcel of three new shows to my office. You've got a show about someone who can only turn left then right, a show about someone who had some fun with their friends, and a show about someone trapped in a game. Are you ready to deliver them?
DORIS (Excited): Post!
THE LIBRARIAN: Okay, so you've got to get through the atrium first. You look through the door, and lying in the middle of the room is Mr. Fidget, the library's dog. How are you going to try and get past him?
DORIS (Hushed): Post post.
THE LIBRARIAN: Sneaking, is it? Alright then, well that's a Quiet move, and your character is Quiet, so you get to roll two dice. Remember, you need to roll a two or more.
F/X - Dice shaking and rolled.
THE LIBRARIAN: Well that's a 5, which is high enough.
DORIS (Excited): Post!
THE LIBRARIAN: And a two, which is your actual Quiet number, so while you're moving through, you get to loudly shush someone who's being noisy. That means you get to ask me a question.
DORIS (Inquisitive): Post post?
THE LIBRARIAN: Are you sure you want to ask that?
DORIS (Determined): Post!
THE LIBRARIAN: Then yes, Mr. Fidget is a good boy.
DORIS (Cheerfully): Post!
THE LIBRARIAN: Now you rolled higher on two dice, so you succeed. You very carefully sneak past Mr. Fidget...
DORIS (Quietly): Post post post post. (Pause). Post post.
THE LIBRARIAN: ...giving him a quick pet on the way past. You make it through the atrium, and open the door to the corridor. You're halfway down the corridor when a door opens. It's the Director!
DORIS (Panicked): Post post!
THE LIBRARIAN: She starts coming towards you. What are you going to do?
DORIS (Still panicked): Post post!
THE LIBRARIAN: Run away? Okay then, roll your dice. Now this is a Noisy move, so you've got to roll under your number.
F/X - Dice shaking and rolled.
THE LIBRARIAN: That's a three. That's too high!
DORIS (Panicked): Post post!
THE LIBRARIAN: She catches you!
DORIS (Scared): Post post post post post!
THE LIBRARIAN: She picks you up...
DORIS (Very scared): Pooooost.
THE LIBRARIAN: Brings you close to her face...
DORIS (Literally terrified): Pooooost.
THE LIBRARIAN: And says Happy Birthday!
DORIS (What): Post.
THE LIBRARIAN: Yes, it's your Birthday! And she's got you a present!
DORIS (Excited): Post!
THE LIBRARIAN: It's four trailers! Do you want to listen to them?
DORIS (Excited): Post! Post!
THE LIBRARIAN: Okay then. And you can have a listen as well - hopefully you'll find something you want.
