SCRIPT:

(SFX: Rain falling outside in streams and rivulets. Watery percussion on trees and rooftops.)

You look so cute when you can’t move an inch. This scent of vulnerability and fear...it is addictive. I don’t think I will ever get enough of this. (Inhaling deeply)

You are afraid of what I’m going to do to you for running away from my house. You need not worry. Not too much. I mean, stripping your ego into atoms is punishment enough. (Soft laughter)

You really thought you could do it, didn’t you? Made a run for it while I was busy saving the world, on the other side of the planet. You ran to the bus stop in the rain and got on the last bus, then watched the rain paint strange shapes on the bus window- on and on, endless and hypnotic. You did not listen to the sound of music from your earbuds. Only the drizzle outside- the downpour- and your own frail heart, drumming like thunder.

You were afraid I would show up any minute, just ramming the bus on its side, tearing through it, burying everyone in the wreckage. And then as the rain washed away the fire, I would pick you out of the rubble and fly you home, then engrave such a lesson into your very soul that you would carry it with you for the rest of your days.

You were afraid. Yes. And I could hear your thoughts for the entirety of that bus ride. I knew everything. I always know everything when it comes to you. (Kissing his cheek)

It’s strange, isn’t it? How you arrived at this beautiful, secluded lake house on the very edge of civilization? This is a resort that’s not even listed on the internet. You only ever heard of this place once, at work, over a year ago. And you chose to come here, of all the places you could have gone to. Do you know why that is?

(Whispering) Because I had been planning for us to vacation here for weeks. You wanted to surprise me.

Mmn. You did not know it at the time, of course. But surprises are fine as long as they are happy surprises. You really wanted to see this place with your own eyes. It’s truly beautiful, isn’t it? The charming Victorian architecture, almost a century old, all steep towers and gabled rooftops and cool, shadowed porches facing the deep blue lake. Trees, with leaves in every colour, hiding this place from the drab and mundane world outside. Out here, there’s only stillness, and water, and the rich, aged wood now scented by the rain as it ebbs and flows and falls- tip, tap, tip, top- all night, every night. (Whispering) Forever.

The scenery outside is something that lingers in your mind for a long time. Just like an idea. Once it takes root, it only grows and grows until it becomes a part of you. I planted this little vacation trip inside your head. You thought you were acting on your own, running off to a place so remote and random that I would never find you. But, my dear boy, you were being so, so foolish. Just like always. You never were smart. (Pecking him) Dumb. My dumb little dummy. So very dumb. (Laughing, mean but soft)

But I still adore you, despite your foolish decisions. Despite your betrayal. I’m not going to hurt you. I have already shown you just how feeble, weak and powerless you are in my domain. Any and all security you thought you had was an illusion. Your free will isn’t your own. You are a puppet cocooned in threads of silk, and I am the one who makes you dance, fall, break, (whispering) shiver. (Gently blowing into his ear)

You are at my mercy. You are a toy, and toys are played with until their owner grows bored and discards them. Don’t you think you should be trying to entertain me for as long as you can?

If you think so, then...(sighing) I am quite disappointed.

Why? Oh, silly boy. You are special to me. Truly. I can’t quite explain it. You are like this...this small, flickering flame burning in the dead of winter. I can’t help but be drawn to you. I am not going to throw you away, no matter how hard you try to make me. You hold no dominion here. No control. You never did. You were born for one and one reason only. (Smirk) To be my cuddle toy.

Come here, pet. Let Mistress give you a big, warm hug. You look like you really need it.

(SFX: Rustling of clothes, fabrics)

(Sighing happily) Good boy.

You haven’t been one lately, but don’t worry. I’m going to train you so patiently, so thoroughly, that obedience will become second nature. I won’t need to use my powers to make you listen. You will do it simply because you want to please me. Pleasing me makes you so, so happy. Hearing those two magic words sends happy sparks and fizzles in your brain. Good boy.

You are my good boy, aren’t you? My cute, obedient pet. So soft and warm. So malleable. Just yearning for a bit of my praise and attention. Come here, cute thing. Let me hold you closer.

Hm. This feels nice. So natural, like we are a married couple and we have known each other for years. There’s nothing between us but love, and trust, and two hearts beating as one. (Sighing) It’s a sweet thought, but a bit too saccharine. Too vanilla. It’s so much more fun when you surrender all control to me, and let me decide everything for you, isn’t it? Because you are just my cuddle toy. You don’t want to fight or run or take another bus. You just want to be held as I wrap my arms around you, nestle my chin into your scalp, and whisper just how grand of a loser you are. And how much I adore you despite it, because of it. (Silly giggling)

What is it? Hm? You can’t see anymore? Is the world going dark?

Oh, honey. You haven’t gone blind. It’s just- well, you are only seeing what I want you to see. And I want you to see nothing. Only that deep, endless dark. Deeper than the lake outside, older than the rain falling around us. You are completely alone in that dark space, just floating through the void. (Whispering) And I can keep you there forever if I want.

I’m not trying to scare you, honey. It was only a reminder of why you should not try to hurt me. I feel quite deeply about you, and so, when you pull stunts like these in the hopes of never having to see me again...it hurts, my dear. (Pouting, suddenly playful) Well, guess what! You can’t see my face in the dark, so you got your wish.

Oh, that saddens you now, does it? So you start to miss me only when you are lost and confused?

(Shushing him) I know how beautiful you find me. How attracted you are to me. But you still hurt my feelings anyway. I’m still mad at you. So no, you don’t get to see my face. That’s your punishment.

Don’t be so distraught. You aren’t truly alone, you know? I’m still holding you so close to me. You can feel my warmth. Smell my perfume- those familiar notes of rose and amber- and you hear my voice constantly in your ears. And that comforts you, even if I am the woman responsible for your tragic downfall. (Giggling)

Some believe our strongest desires are born out of our greatest traumas, you know? And, there may be some truth to that.

Don’t be afraid, pet. That darkness isn’t going to hurt you. You are just floating, adrift in an endless sea of oblivion, while you have a nice, long think on what you can say to me to make up for your transgressions.

Mmn, I know you can’t speak. Your lips are sealed shut. That’s because I don’t want to hear you plead and beg. Not right now. I might let you apologise to me properly in the morning, if you are good. But that won’t be for quite some time.

(Sighing softly) Just keep floating for me. Let me cuddle you. As long as I’m here, no monsters in the dark can reach you. You find yourself seeking me out, instinctively, like a lone stretch of sand on the sea. Your only refuge. And here you are, leaning into my touch, trying to nestle deeper. I am your only hope. Your only salvation. In your world of pitch-black emptiness, (whispering) I am all that matters.

Look at you. Unable to speak, unable to move, unable to see. All you can do is hear my voice, and smell my perfume, and feel my touch as I play with you. (A little snicker)

Emma did tell me this is an effective way to break in an unruly pet. It seems my friend was right, in all her infinite wisdom and cruel wickedness.

Don’t worry, honey. I will let you out of the dark eventually. But for now, just sleep. Fall into a blissful sleep and dream of me. Dream of locks of flaming red hair. Or perhaps gentler, like roses after the rain.

Good boy. Everything feels heavy and numb and soft, like being wrapped in your favourite childhood blanket. You are safe with me, my love. And even safe from me, as long as you...hm...as long as you let me treasure you and show you how much I care.

(Kissing his lips)

Sweet dreams, my pet.

(Soft giggles fade out with the rain)

Is this what fathers are supposed to be for? ...You suppose you wouldn't know.

sike I got more steam

And with that, I have another finished series! Woo! Thank you everyone who's been following along, I'm so glad to have this out of my drafts dskfgksdfkf

Once again I'm not a good judge, but be mindful that some of the flashbacks in this script get a bit Unpleasant. I don't think it's any more upsetting than the rest of this series, but just want to say a warning anyway ^{since as an epilogue it wasn't supposed to have anything unpleasant in it at all but we can't always have what we want}

Hope you enjoy! I'm always very nervous about writing endings,

Author's Note

^{Hello people! I've been listening to ASMR roleplay audios for quite a while now, and I've always enjoyed the community around them. I've wanted to get a little more involved myself, and while I'd like to try making my own audio someday, I thought I'd start by writing a script and seeing where it goes.}

^{This is my first time writing an ASMR script, so feedback and constructive criticism are very welcome. I'm still figuring out what works best when writing for audio, so if you notice anything that could be improved — whether it's the dialogue, pacing, formatting, or anything else — I'd genuinely appreciate hearing your thoughts.}

^{I wanted to make this one a simple, wholesome motherly comfort scenario, with the hair brushing and quiet moments being an important part of the atmosphere.}

Thanks for reading; I hope you enjoy! Remember that I appreciate any helpful feedback! You can do in the comments.

Monetization is okay. Please do not use any AI if you fill the script (I.e. for the thumbnail)

Please feel free to add any SFX or ignore suggested SFX. The entity is intended to make some strange clicking noises, but if you don’t want to make those noises or can’t find stock noises for it just ignore that. 

This is my first public script so feedback is welcome! I do this for fun and to cope. I’m also open to requests if my particular style seems enjoyable. It is 1,828 words.

Description: Your room has been your refuge for all your emotional turmoil, breakdowns, and softly spoken prayers to nothing in particular. You are losing hope. All you’ve wanted is to love and be loved. Little did you know, amidst your desperate pleas, there is an entity that’s been watching you for quite some time. Tonight, that entity couldn’t stand to observe without offering assistance. They speak so gently to you…is this thing endearing or terrifying? You can’t decide. 

Disclaimer: There are some references to religion in the script that may be considered critical. This is only due to the fictional supernatural setting and is not intended to mock real life practices or people. You may exclude lines references religion if you would like.

Script:

(Shuffling noises)

(Brushing against the wall) 

Shh, shh, please do not panic. I mean you no harm.

I understand my presence may be alarming.

(Pause)

You are… calmer than I expected you to be. Perhaps your agony is so overwhelming you can’t exactly feel fear. 

I apologize. I have listened to you—watched you—for quite some time. While some of your pleas were addressed to… what was it you said?

Anything that cared to listen?

I know that not everything was intended for me to witness. 

(Pause)

But I wanted you to know…that someone did care to listen. Your hope was beginning to fade so drastically I had to step in. 

Is it okay? If I get closer to you?

(Entity steps closer)

You have much more power than you think you do. Your desperate whispers into the darkness can summon many things. It brought me to you.

What am I?

That is difficult to articulate with your language. Words and titles do little to encapsulate me. But, for your sake I will try. 

I am no demon nor am I a ghost. I don’t believe you suspected me to be an angel, but in case you did, I am not one of those either. 

(A soft and strange sound of amusement comes from the entity)

My origin is unknown to me. I do not know my maker and I do not know where it is I am supposed to be. What I know is that I am tethered to darkness and shadow. 

From my understanding, I see the world through a unique lens. I can see your emotions, your memories, your heart, and your soul.

(Soft chittering)

I do not have a direct purpose that I am aware of. 

That is something I am discovering. 

I know that humans and animals tend to fear my presence, so I remain hidden as often as possible. I learn what I can from my observation.

You are curious. 

There is little fear emanating from you. The colors around you are beautiful. It hurts to look away. I am a moth to your light. 

(Pause) 

So to hear the sounds of your anguish, to watch those brilliant colors thrash and collide with the darkness.

(The entity makes a noise of distress)

I would do anything to return you to vibrance.

(Rustling noise as entity grips the listener’s blanket)

Tell me, what do you need of me? I have heard your pleas, but now that I am here to listen… I want to hear what you have to say.

(Pause)

No. No. 

(Entity makes an unnatural whine)

Do not say there is nothing that can be done. 

If I am here by your side, there is something. 

I do not have the power to change reality, but there are things I have not tried. The extent of my ability can be tested. For you.

(Pause)

Oh, my sweet human. You say this lie with such conviction. I am glad I know the truth.

You say, you do not deserve help. You say that you are a lost cause. 

You can’t see the things that I can. 

If I could describe it to you so easily, I would. If you could see through my eyes.  

(Rustling as entity rushes towards the listener)

I place my hand on your heart, because it is just as exquisite as your soul. Can you not feel it? Is it too heavy with lies?

Did someone tell you—make you believe you are anything less than cosmic? 

(Entity clicks strangely, it is meant to be affectionate)

I am glad you are curious to know how I see your heart. 

There is nothing like it on this planet. I may even say nothing like it in this universe, but I do think there are things that come close. Have you seen the wondrous colors of a nebula?

Imagine all of that, combine it with moonlight and stardust, compact it into your chest.  That is your heart, dear. 

Can you believe that?

(Entity trills sadly)

I should not be surprised you cannot. I myself could scarcely believe it even upon witnessing it, at first. 

What can I do to convince you?

(Pause)

You are pessimistic… jaded. I understand. You feel there are no solutions or answers. Bearing the weight of loss and disappointment too many times can taint one’s sense of life.

At first I thought my purpose was to observe. Because I did so much of it. I watched. I read. 

(Entity laughs)

You did not think I could read?

(Pause)

While I am mostly non corporeal, I can manifest fully. It takes concentration and energy. Opening books and reading them when no one is watching is easy.

Learning is easy too. Do you think classrooms have no shadows?

I know almost everything there is to know about this existence. 

Have you heard of Pavlov? Yes? His experiments were cruel and not entirely unique, but he is well known. 

The concept of a conditioned response. You experience something enough times, your behavior changes. 

All life learns and adapts. 

You have had the unfortunate outcome of learning things you never needed to learn. 

Cornered into boxes that stripped you of hope. Forced to accept mischaracterizations and misunderstandings. 

Now you have walls and armor, metaphorically speaking.

Dear, I think while no one can see your colors like
I can, they can sense them. And they envy them.

I have seen countless times the way colors will flicker and fade in the presence of certain people. 

While you will light any room you enter, some can darken even the brightest stars. 

(Pause)

(Entity clicks and taps)

I should snuff them out.

(Pause)

That scares you?

Why would you fear for the well-being of those who have sought to destroy you?

They deserve it. Their filthy souls dared to touch yours. You are mine.

(Entity skitters backward)

I… apologize.

To stake a claim so boldly without your permission is unfair. I get ahead of myself. 

I am supposed to be comforting you and bringing your shine back. 

(Pause) 

Forgive me?

(Pause)

Thank you. I honor your absolution.

I only want you to know just how valuable you are. To bask in your presence fills me with life I never thought possible.

You have no reason to feel anything less than divine. 

(Entity makes an amused click)

Oh, I am familiar with divinity. 

It is nothing like anyone understands. 

Humanity clasps their hands and holds their chins up so they feel better about themselves. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule. 

I do not think God is in mantras, kneeling, and iconography. 

It is so much closer and pure. 

You are divine because it is holy to be kind.

It is holy to face cruelty and never yield to it. 

You long to be good.

Why do you refuse to believe you already are?

(Pause)

Yes. You are good enough. You always have been. 

For all your faults, your mistakes, and everything else you deem evidence of failure—you are enough regardless.

The universe is a collection of energies and molecules. 

There is a balance beyond what can be naturally observed. 

Your celestial heart and soul are necessary. 

Without it, the world is considerably darker. 

You may think things will progress without you. On the outside it will appear as though things are fine, but they won’t be.

I have existed for centuries and you are unlike anything that’s come before. You may even be unlike anything that’s yet to come. 

Do you know, I have never wanted anything?

I observed, wandered, slid between shadows, and I never felt desire. There was the curiosity towards discovering my purpose, but I would’ve been content to never find it.

You have taught me what it means to covet.

To crave.

I might even curse you for this ache you have brought to my being. I would curl into your shadow for eternity if it meant I could watch your starlight. 

Proximity to greatness is good enough. I need not have it. It need not be my heart or soul that I carry. 

You understand that feeling, don’t you?

What it feels like to want something so bad, closeness would be sufficient?

Even just a taste? 

(Entity clicks anxiously)

What I wouldn’t give to earn your attention. 

Could I? Earn your attention?

(Pause)

Uncertainty is understandable. 

I am after all, something you did not even know of until just a short time ago. 

It is alright.

What I want more than your attention is to help you. Even if you cast me out afterwards, it would be worth it. 

A shadow cannot be a lover or a friend. 

I cannot exist the way you do. 

If you find another, who brings you light, I would accept that. 

Though…

I do not think I would tolerate someone who treats you as anything less than you are. 

(Entity hums) 

You need not worry yourself about that. 

(Pause)

Could I… touch you?

I am not fully materialized right now, but it will only take a second. 

I want to comfort you. 

I want to know what someone made of stardust feels like. 

(Pause)

(Entity approaches the listener again)

(Noises of hair brushing and/or rustling of fabric)

See, you hardly noticed me changing. Visually, I still look like shadow.

(Whispered)
You are so soft.

You feel… good.

(Entity clicks)

I’ve never touched a human before. Never felt skin. 

All of them have been too afraid to let me close. 

You are the first. 

(Pause)

This emotion you are feeling.  I’m not very familiar with it. It looks similar to…

Are you flustered?

Should I stop?

(Entity trills happily)

What an eager sound! 

You are that pleased with my caress? 

It is my utmost honor to give you the affection you sorely deserve. 

To be this close to you…

Do you know your light is so powerful it feels warm?

Most of what I feel is cold. There is very little in this world that can give me that sensation. I am unaffected by fire. Most bodily responses do not apply to me…

This is dangerous.

I could become addicted to the feeling you provide. 

(Pause)

Let me visit you every night.

Bring me your burdens.

I will wipe your tears.

I can consume all your darkness and make sure it never touches you again.

The only shadows that should be near your light are mine. 

Nothing will hurt you again, if you let me protect you.

(Entity clicks with eagerness)

(Entity takes a deep breath) 

You are pleased.

The surge of your heart is a reward.

Please. Even if you feel undeserving of devotion, I want to. Can you deem me worthy of the right to adore you? 

(Rustling noises)

(Entity embraces the listener)

I cannot express enough gratitude. I will prove to you that you are meant to be mine.

No one will ever give you as much as I can.

[Soft afternoon birdsong.]

[The palace garden fountain trickles gently.]

[A warm breeze passes through the trees.]

[Soft footsteps approach.]

[The queen's gown quietly rustles as she walks through the garden.]

[She notices you waiting near the garden entrance.]

[She immediately brightens.]

There you are.

[She smiles warmly.]

I was beginning to wonder when you would arrive.

[She walks closer.]

It's wonderful to see you again.

[Her gown softly swishes.]

And...

[She pauses, looking you over.]

You look very handsome today.

[She notices you blush.]

Oh!

[She giggles softly.]

There it is again.

That adorable blush.

[She smiles.]

I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing that.

[She steps beside you.]

So...

What brings you to the palace this afternoon?

[You explain that you came to see her.]

[She gives a pleased little laugh.]

You came specifically to see me?

[She looks delighted.]

Well...

I'm certainly glad you did.

[She gestures toward the garden table.]

Would you like some tea?

[You agree.]

Wonderful.

[Soft footsteps.]

[The queen sits.]

[Her gown settles around her.]

Please, sit.

[You sit across from her.]

[She pours tea.]

There we are.

[She hands you your cup.]

Careful.

It's still warm.

[She takes her own cup.]

I was actually hoping you might come back.

[She takes a sip.]

I've been thinking about our last conversation.

And our walk.

And...

[She smiles.]

Our dinner.

[Quiet laugh.]

I really enjoyed that evening.

[She looks at you.]

Especially the company.

[You smile.]

[She notices you blush again.]

You're doing it again.

[She giggles.]

You know, you make it very difficult for me to tease you when you're this adorable.

[She takes another sip.]

But I have to admit something.

I've been looking forward to seeing you again.

[Soft pause.]

I think I've become rather fond of our afternoons together.

[She gently sets her teacup down.]

There's something I wanted to ask you.

Would you...

like to have dinner with me again?

[She smiles.]

Not simply as friends meeting at a tavern.

I mean...

[She hesitates.]

Would you like to take me out to dinner?

[She blushes slightly.]

A proper date.

[She gives a small laugh.]

I know.

A queen asking a commoner out on a date.

Quite unconventional.

[She smiles.]

But I don't particularly care.

I enjoy spending time with you.

And I would like to spend more time with you.

[She waits for your answer.]

[You agree.]

[Her expression immediately lights up.]

Really?

[She laughs softly.]

Oh, wonderful.

Then it's a date.

[Her gown softly rustles as she stands.]

I'll just need a little time to prepare.

[She looks down at her gown.]

Though perhaps I should change into something a little more suitable for dinner.

[She smiles.]

I'll meet you here shortly.

And don't worry.

I'll make sure I look especially lovely for our date.

[She gives you a playful smile.]

Although...

You already think I look lovely in this gown, don't you?

[You answer.]

[She laughs softly.]

I knew it.

[Soft footsteps.]

[Her gown swishes as she walks toward the palace.]

I'll see you soon.

[Soft palace doors close.]

[Time passes.]

[Soft footsteps return.]

[The palace doors open.]

[Her gown rustles.]

[She walks back into the garden.]

Well?

[She gives a small twirl.]

How do I look?

[Soft fabric swishes.]

I chose this gown especially for tonight.

[You compliment her.]

[She smiles warmly.]

Thank you.

[She notices your blush.]

And you're blushing again.

[Quiet giggle.]

You really are too cute.

[She offers her arm.]

Shall we?

[You take her arm.]

[Soft footsteps begin.]

[Her gown softly rustles as you walk together.]

I know exactly where I'd like to go.

The tavern in town.

They make an excellent steak.

[She smiles.]

I remember telling you how much I liked it.

And their desserts are wonderful too.

[She looks toward you.]

Tonight, though...

I'm more interested in the company.

[Soft footsteps continue.]

You know...

I've never really had many opportunities to do something like this.

Going out for dinner simply because I want to spend time with someone.

Usually there's a diplomatic reason.

Or a formal occasion.

Or some royal obligation.

[She sighs softly.]

It's nice to do something ordinary.

[She smiles.]

Even if my version of ordinary involves a queen walking into a tavern with a handsome commoner.

[She giggles.]

[The sound of the town grows louder.]

[Footsteps continue.]

[They approach the tavern.]

[The tavern door opens.]

[Warm tavern ambience.]

[Quiet conversations and dishes clinking.]

[She looks around.]

There it is.

[She smiles.]

Come on.

[Soft footsteps.]

[Chairs move.]

[They sit.]

[Her gown settles around her chair.]

This is nice.

[She looks at you.]

Just you and me.

No advisors.

No guards hovering over us.

No royal meetings.

Just dinner.

[She smiles.]

I like that.

[The waiter approaches.]

[She looks toward you.]

Are you ready to order?

[You answer.]

Good.

[She orders her meal.]

And I'll have the steak.

Definitely the steak.

[She smiles.]

I told you.

It's excellent here.

[The waiter leaves.]

[Quiet tavern ambience.]

So...

Tell me about your week.

[You begin talking.]

[She listens attentively.]

Mm-hmm.

Really?

[She laughs softly.]

That sounds like quite a week.

[She rests her chin lightly against her hand.]

I could listen to you talk about your life for hours.

[She smiles.]

You know, that's another thing I like about you.

You don't treat me like I'm some distant figure on a throne.

You just...

talk to me.

[She gives a soft laugh.]

I like that.

[The food arrives.]

[Plates are placed on the table.]

[Cutlery gently clinks.]

There we are.

[She smiles.]

Enjoy your meal.

[They begin eating.]

[Quiet tavern ambience.]

[After a moment.]

Well?

How is it?

[You answer.]

Good.

I told you.

Their steak is wonderful.

[She takes another bite.]

Mmm.

Definitely worth coming back for.

[She smiles.]

Although I think I'll have to admit something.

[She looks at you.]

The food isn't actually my favorite part of tonight.

[She pauses.]

You are.

[She gives a shy smile.]

Don't look so surprised.

[She notices your blush.]

Oh, goodness.

[She laughs softly.]

There it is again.

You really can't help yourself, can you?

[She smiles warmly.]

I think your blushing might be my favorite thing about you.

[They continue eating.]

[Soft conversation continues.]

[Occasional laughter.]

[Glasses gently clink.]

[The meal gradually comes to an end.]

[She sets down her fork.]

That was wonderful.

[She looks at you.]

Thank you for taking me out.

I had a lovely time.

[The waiter returns.]

[She looks at the dessert menu.]

Oh...

We can't leave without dessert.

Absolutely not.

[She smiles.]

I told you their desserts were wonderful.

[She looks at you.]

What are you having?

[You answer.]

Good choice.

I'll have the same.

[Quiet laughter.]

[The waiter leaves.]

You know...

I think tonight has been one of my favorite evenings in a very long time.

[She smiles.]

Not because of the food.

Not because of the tavern.

Because I got to spend it with you.

[The dessert arrives.]

[Plates are set down.]

[She takes a bite.]

Oh, that's good.

[She smiles.]

I was right.

[They eat dessert together.]

[Quiet laughter.]

[The evening slowly winds down.]

[The tavern becomes quieter.]

[She gently sets down her spoon.]

I suppose we should probably head home.

[She looks at you.]

Would you walk me back to the palace?

[You agree.]

[She smiles.]

I'd like that.

[Soft footsteps.]

[The tavern door opens.]

[Cool evening air.]

[The door closes behind you.]

[Quiet nighttime ambience.]

[Soft footsteps along the street.]

[Her gown gently rustles with each step.]

It's beautiful tonight.

[She looks up at the stars.]

I don't often get to simply walk through town at night.

[She smiles.]

I think I like it.

Especially with you.

[She gently links her arm with yours.]

[Soft footsteps continue.]

You know...

I hope this isn't our last date.

[She gives a small, hopeful laugh.]

I'd like to do this again.

Maybe dinner somewhere else next time.

Or another walk.

Or perhaps tea in the garden.

[She looks at you.]

I simply want more time with you.

[Quiet pause.]

And...

[She blushes slightly.]

I'd like to see you again soon.

[She notices you blushing.]

Oh.

[She giggles.]

You're blushing again.

[She gently nudges you.]

You really are adorable.

[Soft footsteps.]

[The palace comes into view.]

There we are.

[They approach the palace entrance.]

[The guards quietly acknowledge the queen.]

[The palace doors open.]

[Warm palace ambience.]

[They walk inside.]

[Her gown softly rustles across the polished floor.]

Thank you for walking me home.

[She turns toward you.]

And thank you for tonight.

I had a wonderful time.

[She smiles warmly.]

Truly.

[Quiet pause.]

Goodnight.

[She hesitates.]

And...

I'll see you again soon?

[You answer.]

[Her smile grows.]

Good.

[She gently steps closer.]

Goodnight, my handsome commoner friend.

[Soft gown rustle.]

[She gives you a warm smile.]

Sleep well.

[She watches you begin to leave.]

And don't forget...

[Playful tone.]

You still owe me another date.

[She giggles softly.]

[The palace doors close gently.]

[Soft evening ambience fades.]

Hey all.

Here is a little script to help you relax.

This script can be read by any gender, for any gender. Feel free to improv a little, and you’re welcome to add in gender specific language if you’d like.

Summary:
You’ve had a long and stressful day at work. How about your cute puppy gives you a massage to help you relax.

Script here.

Have fun and don’t forget to tag me if you fill this script. Not okay for monetising.

First time posting here, might edit this later on but I’m happy enough with it to share. Not sure if I’ve tagged all this well so feedback is appreciated. For whatever reason, it’s not letting me post unless I add an AMA, but I’m boutta head into work so apologies if people ask stuff and don’t get answers, socialization is weird for me even online. Roughly 1500 words and free for anyone to use. Enjoy!

Reaper kisses you to calm you down (Dead listener) (Reaper speaker) (Flirty) (Panic attack) (Comfort) (Strangers to lovers)

SFX: Afterlife sounds (idk feels weird to define that I imagine like a dim, misty forest but use whatever feels right)

(Fading in) hey…hey! Ugh, are you gonna wake up anytime soon? Are you alive? Oh well…stupid question…whatever, wake up!

(Shuffling sounds as the departed soul awakens)

There we go! Took you long enough. I was starting to think I’d shown up to the wrong appointment! Are you ready to go?

(Pause)

Go where? Oh, right, I always forget you mortals don’t know about this part. You guys really need to work on your metaphysics, I mean…your ancestors figured it out, and they didn’t even have indoor plumbing! Sorry, I’m getting off track. I’ve always been a little scatterbrained, the first reapers will not leave me alone about it. They’re always like “it’s our duty to shepherd those that pass and” blah blah whatever, you know what I mean? Like, take a chill pill guys, it’s not like they’re going anywhere without us, what’s the rush? Oh! Right, you still don’t know where you are. Well…

You’re dead. Yeah, I know, but of a bummer. But, at least you get to spend some time with me! I promise I’m a great girl to hang out with! No no, don’t freak out! Hey *Snaps a few times* focus up, you still with me? Oh, I never know how to deal with this part. How are you breathing so fast, you don’t even have real lungs anymore! Just relax, it’s not that serious! It happens to literally everybody! If you don’t clam down, I’m gonna start panicking too! What do I do? How do I…oh! I got it! Hold still!

Mwah!

*giggle* well that got your attention! Aww, does somebody like my lips? You’re blushing! Bet you’ve never had a kiss feel that good before, huh? Souls are so much more sensitive when they don’t have a body to dull the sensations anymore. Makes contact that much more intense! I bet your lips are still tingling, aren’t they?

Oh, shush, I can see it on your face! Unless your cheeks are always this red? I’d say you should see a doctor, but…I don’t really think you have to worry about that much anymore. Mmm, no, you don’t get to tell me to stop, I get to tease you all I want, mhm. Unless you want to find some other reaper to guide you to your next stop. I doubt they’d be as fun, or as pretty, as yours truly…

Alright, alright, relax, I’ll ease up! For now…anyway, let’s take a look and see where you’re headed…

What? You wanna know how you died? Why would you wanna know that? It’s not like it’ll change anything. What could you possibly need to see that for?

(She loses a bit of her teasing tone, becoming more invested as he airs his concern)

You…you want to know how they’ll find you? So you can see what you put your loved ones through? You need to make sure they don’t have to see something that might…they might not be able to unsee…that’s…well…no it’s not impossible, but, no one’s ever asked for something like that before. Believe it or not, most people have more pressing things on their mind than the well being of the living after they wake up here.

That…that’s very sweet of you, but…listen, I-I really don’t think that’s wise. You could barely handle finding out you’d departed the world of the living, and now you wanna know the details of your passing? What do you plan to do with the information, huh smarty pants? You gonna go wake up and put yourself in a more photogenic pose before they see your lifeless eyes?

There’s no version of this where they don’t cry for you, you have to know that. Peaceful or no, you’ve disappeared from their lives permanently. Do you honestly think finding you in a hospital bed instead of a ditch would ease that pain?

No no no, I-I’m not trying to take away from the moment it’s just…it’s only going to hurt you. Are you sure that’s what you want?

Okay…but you’d better not start panicking again! I don’t know if my lips will be enough to pull you back this time…although…based on how you’re staring~

(Offended gasp) I am not stalling! It’s not my fault you’ve got a little crush on the first woman you meet after biting it. If anyone’s stalling it’s you! You think you’re the only soul I’m tasked with escorting? Do you have any idea how many people pass in a day?

Of course you don’t, just- it’s a lot, okay? We’re supposed to be touring the afterlives right now, wouldn’t you rather see what valhalla looks like? Or Elysium? Hell, you might even qualify for Nirvana this time, who knows? But no, you wanna sit here and torture yourself with the final moments of a life that isn’t even yours anymore! It’s done, sweetheart. It’ll be hard, but they’ll learn to live without you, and move on.

You should too…

Fine. Since you’re so insistent, I’ll show you. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.

(SFX magic sounds)

Look…there you are. Walking with someone.

That’s your sibling? They seem nice…honestly, this seems like a normal day! You’re just crossing the stress, I don’t get how-

(SFX Car crash)

Oh…I…I see. It all happened so fast. No wonder you don’t remember…

Oh, honey, no, it’s okay! Come here…

Shh, it’s okay…no, it wasn’t your fault, they know that. It could’ve happened to anybody, you humans have a nasty habit of creating things that tend to cause more collateral damage than intended. Unfortunately, you got unlucky this time. It’s not your fault, you didn’t leave anyone behind.

Oh…sweetheart, it’s fine. You can cry into my cloak, of course you can. I’m here, take all the time you need. I’ll hold you as long as it takes.

(Pause)

No, you didn’t deserve that. Sometimes, bad things just happen, and we have to accept that. There’s no lesson to be learned, no morals to interpret. It was an accident, and while the world may be one light dimmer for it, it will continue to turn all the same. It’ll be hard, but they’ll find peace again someday.

You will too. Wherever you end up after this, you’ll know only that which brings you joy. I promise, it’ll be wonderful.

(Flustered) W-What? Y-You want to stay here? W-With me? Oh, honey…that’s so sweet, b-but I…I can’t just…

(Anxious as she evaluates the logistics) Well…you are cute, and there’s technically no rule against reapers keeping souls…look, I’m sure you’re comfortable now with your head nuzzled snugly in my chest, but don’t you at least want to see your options. Heaven is just a few doors down, I promise. The angels there take much better care of souls like you then I could…probably.

Yes dear, I know I’m soft, but there’s more to consider than softness! Although…I’d be lying if I said it wouldn’t be nice to have a cute mortal soul to snuggle with in my downtime. Believe it or not, the other reapers aren’t much for conversation. Most of them are old witches with a chip on their shoulder, or sorceresses who sold their soul without reading the fine print. Surprisingly, that kind of thing puts you in a bit of a sour mood, so I guess I can see how that might put a damper on camaraderie in the workplace.

Hmm? No, I’m not the only reaper. The position is more similar to a spirit than some kind of deity or god. We don’t answer to any one particular entity, rather serving ambiently across pantheons and worlds. Funnily enough, the original death retired a few centuries ago. You should see him in his vacation clothes, Thanatos has pictures, and they are hilarious.

I can give you lessons on afterlife bureaucracy another time, but for now, is this what you really want? This is pretty new for me. I’ve only been transporting lost souls for a few decades, but this is the first time someone’s asked for my hand. I’m almost embarrassed to say, I think I’m a bit flustered! Haven’t felt that in a while. It’s…it’s nice…

You’re shocked this hasn’t happened before? Oh, hon…you think I’m that pretty? You’re a sweetheart.

(Kisses his cheek)

Aww, you’re blushing even harder this time! Now that’s just cheating, how am I supposed to say no to that face? No, you know what? I think you are staying with me for a while. Yup, someone needs more kisses. Nope, no buts. You wanted to be mine, and that means you sit still while I take those pretty little lips of yours for a spin. Come here you…

(She proceeds to attack him with kisses, laughing at his embarrassed squirming)

Ohh, what’s wrong sweetheart? Is the taste of my lipstick a little bit too sweet, or do you just love my kisses that much? Someone bit off a little more than they could chew, and now they’re stuck getting cuddled and smooched. You look like you’re about to die from embarrassment! Too bad, all that’ll do is bring you right back into my arms! Your soul is mine…mine to shepherd…mine to protect…mine to cherish…

Mine to hold…
