FEMALE ROLES:
ANNIE (20s-30s. Any ethnicity.)
A Let’s Player set for an afternoon of gaming for her fans.
LINE 1: (doing the intro she does on all her videos) Hi again everyone! It's Annie Seven-Seven-Seven here and for today's stream I'm doing something a little bit different. I know you guys really wanted to see me finish Super Combat Battle Llamas today -- I'll get to that next time, I promise!
LINE 2: Again with this "you" stuff? These game designers -- I'm a player, my dudes, I can be anyone. ... You know what? I'm rolling with it. I'm rolling with it! I'm gonna make this chick look like me.
LINE 3: Wait. That wasn't the question, though. Right? She's asking who I'm thinking about. (beat) (thoughtful) I uh. I mean the answer's obvious, isn't it?

LINE 2: I can’t stop just cause I have a stupid back pain. My dream is more important than that.

PAIN (50s or 60s. Any ethnicity.)
Student’s grandmotherly personification of pain.
LINE 1: (annoying voice) Sweetie, if you don’t pay Sleep there’ll be painful consequences. And you don’t want that to happen. Do you?

LINE 3: Heavens, students these days. They used to be terrified of me before.

SLEEP (Any age or ethnicity.)
Student’s really annoyed personification of sleep. He’s owed a debt and is not going away until he gets paid.
LINE 1: Go sleep and pay me now!
LINE 2: (loud and annoyingly) Yo Pain! How you doin’?... Look I know you’re busy so I’ll go straight to the point. I need you to come and help me with something... Yup, the usual, she don’t wanna pay her sleep debt… yup, student on finals... Ok… Thanks, I appreciate it.
SICKNESS (Any age or ethnicity.)
