Smile Grove (Serialized Audio Drama)
Wes J. Ryan for Greyson (Grey) Alodia
Grey is a student, first and foremost. He prides himself on his intellectual abilities and admires those willing to learn. Out of everyone, he’s creative and intellectual, constantly pondering the unknown and the future. This ends up getting the better of him, however, given he also possesses a fear of the unknown. It’s understandable, really, that in such a wide-open, infinite world, he wouldn’t be capable of understanding all there is. Grey speaks in a certain, “intellectual” dialect, using words he believes would make him sound smart. It’s all about keeping up appearances, seeming put together, seeming smart, seeming sane. Those appearances just happen to be generally obnoxious to those around him. Truth is, he's constantly anxious, with a rampantly moving mind constantly making frightening theories.
I'm not exactly sure what kind of voice would fit, but I'd aim for a higher pitch and a strong nasal. I'm open to interpretation, however.
(Snobby and overtly formal)
I don't think I ever formally introduced myself. My name's Greyson, though feel free to refer to me as Grey, at your leisure. I expect such an erroneous name like "Greyson" would be slightly out of your plebeian dialect?
(Grounded, self-reflective, and tired)
You feel tired, the red text of your alarm clock and the white screen of your laptop being the only thing you see. All you know is that late night exhaustion and the information you'll probably forget about in the morning.
(With a childish wonder)
I'll... summarize it. The first item is my dog, Duke. He's a very good boy, and he'd do very well in a facility such as this one.
