(Google Doc) FM4A Nobody Should Have To Be Alone On Christmas

Hey everyone! I made my first public script yesterday and today I made the FM4A version of that same script. Like I said before, if you have any feedback/criticism for me, I'd be happy to hear it.

---

Synopsis: You’ve been working at your new job for a few months now and it's been great, but there is one coworker you just can’t stand [the speaker]. A few weeks into the job you were both assigned to a specific task and mistakes on both sides caused the whole project to fall apart. You both made honest mistakes and your boss got over it quickly, but since then the two of you have held a bit of resentment for one another. Although you have both come to see that you both are good workers, that first impression seems like it ruined any common ground you two might have had and now any interactions you have are blunt and terse at best, hostile and argumentative at worst. It’s now the Christmas season and everyone talks about their holiday plans as they leave work, but you notice her silence and somber appearance and approach her. She begrudgingly admits that she was supposed to host this year but her family won’t be able to make it because of the weather. Feeling bad for her and your bad relationship, you offer to take her to go on a tour of Christmas lights, a holiday tradition you’ve held for years now.

Speaker Description: The speaker is a bit serious at work but isn’t too uptight. She is diligent and respected by her peers even if she isn’t the most outspoken. She tends to bottle up her issues because she doesn’t want to be a burden. Her defensive attitude is only really toward the listener initially because of their disagreements. Underneath she is a sweet, caring person who just wants to spend time with the ones she loves.

Listener Description: The listener is a quiet individual but not in a shy way. He tends to focus on his work but he is open to friendly conversation with his coworkers, except for the speaker of course because of their awkward history. He tries to have sympathy for people, even with people he has had adisagreement with and he doesn’t ever want to cause actual emotional distress even if he isn’t a fan of someone.
