Hi! Your character might not be in this episode! This is bc vampires and oddities is a duel storyline, so if your character isn’t in this episode, then that means you’re a vampire. If you are in this episode, then you’re an oddity. Can the whole cast please read the episode scripts- I need everyone to understand what’s happening. Narrator: this is Thalia Goodman. She has been hitchhiking over the last few days to get from London to the sleepy town of longfeilds. I say town, it it really should have been a city, except it is surrounded by a protected forest, which means that it cannot expand. The doodled-on travel pamphlet had said that it was full of crummy, cheap 2-star hotels, which would be perfect for her. Thalia: yessss!!! After…6 long days, I finally made it! Thalia: arrrrgggghhhhh!!! These bug bites!!! Oh my god, these are really itchy- huh? What is this shape? A…swirl?!? Urgh, never mind, I’ll live. (She walks down a road, covered in litter) Thalia: darn it, it’s raining! Urgh I’ll just go in here… the odditie shop…I’ll shelter here… (Lara sits behind a wooden counter, humming the song summer of ‘69) Melody: hi! hello! wanna see a magic trick! (A humming sound fills the room and melody levitates off the ground) Thalia: WHY IN THE NAME OF LIGHTNING ARE YOU FLOATING!!! (Suddenly scared) who and what are you… Melody: I am melody, but you can call me….(drumroll) melody_the_ghost! Thalia: wha-? Sam: sis! Stop freaking out the customers! Sorry, my sister hit 100 YouTube subscribers- she now thinks she’s super famous… -wait sis, did you show her your power?!? Melody: yeah, but she’s got the mark! See! Thalia: what mark… oh, you mean my mosquito bite? Sam: Lara! Get Nathan! NOW! Lara: Nathan!!!! Thalia: (sleepily) is it just me or is the word spinning? Nathan: What is it this time! Who showed a regular person their power? -oh! Someone get the stretcher! (THUMP!) (Thalia faints) Lara: oh! She’s waking up! Nathan: hold on kid! Don’t move, ya kinda hurt after ya faint. Thalia: what the… Lara: I’m Lara, I’m 13- Thalia: I thought you were 30! Lara: (shyly) yeah, well, that’s my power. Thalia: power??? Now you’re making no sense. Sam: We should probably explain… Melody: I’m on it! I’m melody, that’s my twin brother, Sam, the old guy is Nathan, and the 13-year-old adult is Lara! And we are oddities! Thalia: what’s an oddity? Nathan: I- Melody: Let me explain. Melody: basically, a really long time ago, there was a vampire who craved the blood of other vampires. Eventually they drank human blood, but that turned the human int, not a vampire, not an oddity, but into an oddity, like human but with a superpower. And, that vampire was the first oddity vampire. The end! Thalia: VAMPIRES! this is all a bunch of codswallop! Your ‘avin a laugh! Im leaving you nutjobs! Nathan: we’ll see… Thalia: AAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!! Thalia: I’m a ghost! Wha- ok maybe I’ll stay… but do I have to pay rent? Nathan: not if you work shifts at the shop. Thalia: you got yourself a deal! I’m Thalia, pronouns she/they ……..-ummm but how do I become not a ghost…? Nathan: ugh you’ll figure it out. NOW GET TO WORK KID!
