Talking with your Sassy Shadow Script (Unused)

This is a script I never published. I had a friend record it, Ameba, and I tried to make the recording work, but I ended up deleting it. I even tried rerecording it myself. It just didn't work. I cringed so hard editing it that I physically could not finish the editing and post it. It was too serious. But who knows, if you guys like the script, maybe I'll try it again one day. Tell me what you think. Cringe, or no?

Talking with Your Sassy Shadow: [F4A] [Injuries/Fainting] [Heartbreak] ASMR Roleplay

Sounds needed: City Streets, Car screeches, footsteps

That's a bad idea. Hmm? What? I didn't say anything.

Sounds of disapproval.

Yeah, I wouldn't do that either. No, I'm not judging you! I'm not judging you at all, I'm just following quietly behind you like a good little shadow.

Pause

But if I was judging, I'd say that walking there is a bad idea. You could get hit by a car or something.

Pause

Hey, hey, people are staring. If you keep talking to yourself, everyone is going to think you're crazy. Yes, you are. You're talking to me, and I'm your shadow, so I'm part of you, so you're talking to yourself!

Pause

Ok, ok. I was just trying to help. It's not my fault I have to follow you around everywhere, you know. I get bored sometimes. Woah, hey, watch out! These streets are busy, you could get hurt. Hey, what did I say!

Urgently

Watch out!

Hey. Hey. Are you ok? That was a pretty hard fall. Ooh, who is this? This beautiful person here to help us up. Aww, look how amazing they look. Look! Are you looking? Yes, we need help getting up. Yes, we do!

Pause

Shh, stop talking to me. Talk to this helpful handsome person! Yes, thank them. Thank them profusely. Hey, ask where they are going. Ask them, ask them, ask themmmmmm!

Pause

Ooh, that sounds nice. You could go for a there right about now, right? Come on, go with them. You're not doing anything and you’re lonely and desperate. GO WITH THEMMMMM! No, don't say no! Buddy? Hey, hey. Sit down on that bench over there. Oh, they're walking away... they were so beautiful, too. Woah, woah, take a deep breath. Are you ok?

Pause

Buddy, buddy, just breathe for me, ok? Deep, slow breaths. In, out... there you go. I'm sorry you fell... are you ok?

Pause

Ooh, you scraped up your knee. The one day you decide to wear shorts! I did vote for jeans, for the record. Does it hurt? Do you want me to kiss it to make it better?

Pause

See, there's that smile I love so much. Are you sure you're alright? Maybe we shouldn't go anywhere. Take a day to yourself.

Pause

Ah, come on. Let's go to the park or somewhere. The library, what about the library?"

Pause

Yeah, I know I can't go into the library. It's not my fault they have such strange lighting in there! But I'll be waiting for you once you step into the sun again.

Pause

No? Ok... do you just want to sit here for a minute?

Pause

Ok, then. I'll just chill here, under the bench.

Pause

The sun's getting higher. You remember that I'll disappear around noon, when the sun's right overhead and you won't have a shadow for a while. But I'll be right back around one, although I will be smaller...

Pause

Aw, I'll miss you too. That's sweet to say. I have to say, you're a very nice human to follow around, even if you do stay inside a lot.

Pause

Humming

Bored noises

Are we ready to go? No? oh... Does it hurt that bad? Or was it something else?

Pause. Hmm?

The person who helped you up? They were very good-looking, weren't they? No, I didn't think you froze up. I mean, maybe a little. But you're getting much better talking to strangers, you know.

Pause

You can't really blame yourself; you did just take a spill. How is your knee feeling now? Oh, ok. Did you hit your head when you fell? Does it hurt?

Oh. I'm sorry you fell.

Pause

Well, it was my fault a little. I was distracting you. I just... I haven't been assigned a human as nice as you are before. And I've never been assigned one who could hear me. You're a very special one, you know that? You must have wonderful things to do in your life.

Pause

Really?

Pause

Well, I'm sure you'll do something very important. I can tell about these things. Maybe you'll save the world somehow! Well, you never know.

Pause

Buddy? Hey. You're breathing hard. Do you want some water? Buddy?

Faint

Buddy? Buddy... are you dead? Did you die?? No, no, you're breathing. No, no, don't pass out! Passing out is bad! Oh, maybe you did hit your head when you fell. No, no, buddy...

Pause, sadly, pouting

But... but I liked this one. I like this one. I don't want you to be hurt. Oh, look! Buddy wake up and look! Someone is here. They're calling you some help. Please wake up, Buddy. Please, please, wake up? I wish I could help.

Yes, yes! Thank you, kind stranger. Pull my buddy up on the bench. My friend hit their head, stranger and their knee are scratched. You can help them, can't you. Please? Please, do call them some help.

Pause

Oh, they're coming to! Hey, hey buddy. Are you ok? You passed out for a second. You did hit your head, didn't you? Why didn’t you tell me?

Pause

Hurt

Oh. Oh, yes, I'll be quiet. Yes, I will. I'm sorry.

The stranger wants to know who you are talking to. No, don't tell them me! What are you thinking? They won't believe you are talking to your shadow. They'll think you're crazy! Buddy? See, they think you hit your head. Why would you say something like that? They could put you on drugs or something that wouldn't let you hear me anymore or worse, put you in a place with the strange lights that you can never leave... and I'd never see you again.

Pause

Sirens

Listen, there! The ambulance is here. You'll be alright, buddy. You'll be ok. See, here they come now. Sit still and let them check you out.

Pause

Oh... buddy we're in trouble. The stranger is telling the EMT's that you’re hearing voices. No, no, don't say anything to me! Yes, I know you'll be ok. You'll be just fine. Just don't say anything to me ok?

Pause

Begging

Please, please stop talking. Buddy, please! They'll take you far away to a place with florescent lights and no shadows anywhere if they think you're crazy. Please, no, stop talking! Talk to the kind stranger. Talk to the EMT! Please, my friend, please. Talk to someone who is real. Talk to another human! I'm just your shadow. I'm not real, please... please...

No, don't struggle, Buddy! Don't struggle. Go with them, they will help you! Trust me, trust me. No, I can't go with you in the ambulance. The lightening... I'll wait for you when you come out of the hospital, alright? I'll wait right outside. I promise. I promise. Please go. They can help you. They will help you.

That's it. Yes, yes, I'll be right outside. Right outside. I promise.

Car doors close

Sirens retreating

And maybe you'll stop hearing from me. And maybe that's a good thing. I was never meant to be a real friend, my buddy. Never, never... I am just a shadow after all.

Please just be alright, my friend.
