[F4A] [Script Offer] More to Life Than Living: Robot Love Among the Ruins [Strangers to Lovers] [Sci-fi] [Post-Apocalyptic] [Robots] [Romantic][Tragic] [Story-driven] [Slow Burn] [Technically NSFW] [Abstract Mind-meld ***] [Mutual “Orgasm”] [SFX Recommended] [Life Is Beautiful, Isn’t It?] [Even Here, Even Now]“Wow, it’s lucky you found me – you’re almost out of power, and they’re not exactly making more power cells since the Event. And I think I know a wayto help you, but… it’s complicated. If I interface with you… we’ll have to swim around in each other’s head for awhile, and I have no idea whatto expect. But… I trust you. If this is what will help you… then it’s exactly what I want to do.”The year is 2284. Humanity is gone. In its place lie ruined cities, overgrown wrecks… and the brilliant machines mankind left behind. Two of thesehave a fateful encounter in a collapsing museum, one of them bright and bubbly, the other stoic… and in mortal danger. As they search togetherfor a solution, old hurts and long-held desires come to the surface. Will they be able to save each other? And what will they be willing to riskin doing so?Hey! I have a very high-concept script for you. It’s full of storytelling, emotions… and a very unconventional *** scene. I really hope you like it!A note for readers/listeners: the characters in this story *do* have ***, but it’s not *** as we traditionally understand it. Because, you know…they’re robots. They don’t have genitals. As such, it might not be as titillating an experience as what you usually see on NFSW Reddit.And a note for performers: the concept of this script is kind of elaborate, so I decided not to mark any of the sound effects as “optional” like Inormally do. Having said that, while this script would be a great opportunity to flex your sound design muscles, I think it will work just finewithout any of that.Any interested performers are welcome to edit/improvise to their hearts’ desire!*Asterisks are for emphasis*<These are for (optional) sound effects and non-verbal noise>[Brackets are for direction]Line breaks are just there to make scanning easier – improvise with pauses all you like.[CHARACTER ADVICE] Rina is some sort of robot (exactly what kind is open to interpretation), but she doesn’t talk like a robot. She is very kind,bubbly, and friendly, and she can almost sound airheaded at times. Deep inside, however, she is concealing a lot of pain – but a lot of hope, aswell. Vocal effects would be excellent for her, but they are not an absolute necessity.-----[START]-----<We begin with narration. The narrator’s voice is cold, detached – while this world is new to us, it is the only one she knows>[NARRATION] The year is 2284. It has been 62 years since the Toxin Event. Humanity… is gone.[NARRATION] But the earth still lives. While the cities are quiet and crumbling, roots and vines have come to fill the cracks. The barren streets anddeserted lots are flocked by birds, beasts… and something *else*. They went by many names when there were still tongues to speak them – golems,automata, simulacra. The last moving testaments to humanity’s achievement… and the only sentient witnesses to their fall.<We enter the scene proper – a crumbling, half-collapsed museum. Ambience is appropriate, but not required – wind blowing, birds chirping, and echoeyreverb><The listener picks their way through the ruins. A solitary voice fades in from the distance: she placidly sings a song to herself. A classic song,timeless – an old song about an old love. Her voice is lovely, though maybe a bit off-key – this song is for her and no one else.><singing stops abruptly>
