First Draft

​

Written by /u/Dvaledrik_Returns intended as Script Offer for r/GoneWildAudible & r/pillowtalkaudio for anyone to voice act if they wish.

Feel free to use any cutesy pet names, make any changes to suit your locality and improvise if you wish! All characters depicted are fictional and 18 and actions (including implied) taken place are between consenting adults.

​

Synopsis: Your partner is feeling blue while trying to dive into their passion project, you come along and offer some glimmer of hope.

​

Notes: This is a very insightful partner, so slow the talking pace down by at least 20%, try to envision someone upset in front of you as if you're talking to them :) Feel the emotion between the sentences and while you're voice acting, envision what kind of reaction is bounced back at you.

​

Honey bee~

​

Jab.

​

Jabbity jab jab jab.

​

.... Jaaaaaaab.

​

Ohhhh now I got your attention!

​

You've been staring at the screen for hours.

​

Sooooo.

​

Which one are you working on this time?

​

Oh that one?

​

I think you said this one is taking the longest to push out.

​

So which part are you up to now?

​

Hmm?

​

You, don't like the progress you're making so far?

​

Well uh.... maybe you can set it aside for now and work on other ones?

​

It's not like it's a paid work, you're doing this for fun.

​

So why put so much pressure on yourself?

​

Oh...

​

Right.

​

I can see why this one has great sentimental value to you then.

​

Well, comparing to the previous ones you've done anyway.

​

Baby you know the first draft is always the first to be scrapped right?

​

I know I know.

​

You always come up with the most zany ideas, but hey how long have I known you for hmm?

​

It's always very tempting to go, oh it's perfect, I ain't changing a daaaaaaaaaang thing about this, just leave it as it is, don't fix what ain't broken!

​

I just don't think any project is worth you stressing over so much that it seeps into other parts of your life.

​

I mean, outside of work we barely get to spend time together as it is.

​

Come weekend, it's cleaning, running errands, and then we PLOP into the couch and be zombies until dinner time.

​

OK potatoes.

​

How 'bout potato zombies?

​

Fine, ZOMBIE potatoes.

​

*pouty*

​

I still think potato zombies sound better though.

​

I've been meaning to get back to my long neglected hobbies myself, you know I'm guilty of procrastinating on that too!

​

*pouty again*

​

But, but there're so many, I don't know which ones to start~~~

​

Hmm?

​

Baby the first draft is meant to be the catalyst, not the final~!

​

I mean, uhhhh.

​

Think it this way.

​

If every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs!

​

Still, yeah, sometimes I'd prefer the convenience of hot dogs over pork chop.

​

You know how patient you'd have to be to cook those darn things.

​

I swear to God as soon as I blink I overcook these little devils!

​

Speaking of which, what do you want for lunch?

​

Not hungry?

​

I don't believe you.

​

No, you are not pulling this schtick on me this time.

​

I don't want to make something for myself, only for you to go "ohhhh can I have a bite" and you end up eating half off my plate!

​

Nope.

​

Not happening today!

​

For real babe, that's annoying as heck.

​

*sigh*

​

Still, knowing you I'd just make yours and set it aside anyway.

​

But I ain't bringing it to ya, you gon have to get yo' ass out!

​

What?

​

I don't like our room smelling like food, you know how I am!

​

Hmf.

​

So what are you stuck on?

​

Oh?

​

It ain't about that?

​

Then what is it?

​

Oh...

​

Honey bee...

​

I can understand the sentiment...

​

I mean sure.

​

It's so, so much easier, to build a world where things are kinder, easier and even more uplifting than real life situations.

​

But isn't that what makes escapism wonderful?

​

Giving you enough time to breathe so you can be ready to face the day again?

​

And taking on the world as you know it?

​

Still.

​

I know!

​

I know.

​

it's polarizing.

​

Fucked up, even.

​

How with one of them, everything is dandy, zany and nonsensical, and on the other, there are obstacles to tackle and with consequences.

​

And you don't always get what you want.

​

And if you're lucky.

​

You're alive for another day to do it aaaaaaaaaall over again.

​

And THAT'S, how the cookie crumbles.

​

Still.

​

You know what I think?

​

Despite everything that's happening right now.

​

How things can be so...

​

Demoralizing.

​

I'm glad I'm in it.

​

I'm glad that I'm here.

​

Because you're here with me.

​

And no, please baby don't say that.

​

I don't need you to always be present, with brazen assurance.

​

We're not pre-packed sammies, we can't always be ready to go.

​

Just because you feel like a dishevelled husk, doesn't mean that's the entirety of you.

​

Hmm.

​

Not ready to talk huh?

​

It's OK with me.

​

You know I ain't going anywhere.

​

I'll be here when you're ready.

​

*peck*

​

I'll call you when I'm done.

​

Nooo I'm not telling you what we're having.

​

You're gonna have to find out for yourself~!

​

See you soon love!
