(in a hospital bed and confused)

No! That can't be right. You must be looking at the wrong chart. I was pregnant! I can't remember anything else, but I remember that. Do you think I would make up something like this?...You think I'm crazy? You're the one who's crazy! What kind of place is this? I'm leaving!"

(just beginning to open up to Cohen, who found her)

I feel stupid telling you this . . .I don't know what I'm missing by being here. I don't have memories of a family like you do. At first it bothered me, but now...the feelings I have here are so new. I can't explain it, but I know I've never felt this way before.

(showing strength but still having questions)

I thought I already did that when I said yes to all this! I told you and Rabbi I would do this dream thing and help you find my baby. I chose the Light! How can you say I haven't turned?

(giving information with a conversational feel)

A Thin Place is a location on earth where the Veil between the Spiritual Realm and the Physical Realm is incredibly thin. Sometimes, people outside BethEl use this term to describe places where they feel close and connected to God. In here, the concept of a Thin Place takes on a whole new meaning.

(trying to reassure Rachel after being told he was being sent out of the city on a mission)

Look, this changes a lot of things, not just for me, but for you too. The first thing you need to know is that I'm still your Finder, you're still my Disciple, and I'm still here for you. Well, sort of.

(out of breath and disappointed in himself)

I ran. I was outside of BethEl. Yahweh told me she was in trouble, so I tried to get here as fast as I could. I was too late.

Estimated read time - 60 minutes.

(protective)

You will sleep here tonight. In the morning, you can go back home and gather some of your belongings. I would like to spend some time in prayer and discernment before we bring this to the attention of anyone else in the city. In the meantime, you will stay here until we know you are safe.

(calm storyteller)

Before humans walked upon the face of the earth - in fact, before the earth was created, Yahweh created a beautiful Spiritual Realm—a lush garden-like land high upon a mountaintop. It was his dwelling place. The expanse of this creation reached into the farthest recesses of the deepest galaxies and universes. It was a land of harmony and peace. The entire realm was created by the power of Yahweh's spoken word. His utterances erected a great city, a Kingdom, and formed into existence a vast countryside with a majestic palace, a temple where he dwelled. But as you know, Yahweh is a God of love. It's not just an attribute of his character; as the Three in One, it is his identity. So, he created beings to love.

(apologetic and just waking up)

Preposterous. It was my fault, my dear. I dozed off when I was supposed to be interceding, and for that, I am terribly sorry. Do not even think such nonsense. You are not capable of creating such evil.

Estimated read time - 20 minutes.

(matter of fact)

This morning, we will pick up where we left off in practicing our Giftings. This afternoon, you need to spend at least two hours preparing physically on the equipment and two hours reading a text of your choice.

(concerned)

Exactly. We don't know how it happened, but we are concerned that it has happened. And we believe this incident is not separate from you and your child.

(teaching mode)

Think about it this way. In any game of chess there are two opposing sides. Yahweh and his people are the Light pieces. The enemy is the Darkness. We must choose on which side we will play, because guess what? The Light always wins. Every move of the enemy, regardless of how cleverly or meticulously orchestrated, leads to one result.

Estimated read time - 15 minutes.

(showing his bravado)

Totally. Let's get this show started. You didn't let me finish, bro. I love a good suicide mission. Death can't stop me!

(speaking about Rachel)

She speaks my love language. She really is my DreamGirl!

(noticing the look on another girl)

Don't worry. You're still my girl too.

(sharing his Dream Walking expertise)

To read real text in a dream is next to impossible. Your brain can mimic reading. Youmight look at words and know what they mean, but to make out actual letters and words . . . it doesn't really work that way. If for some reason you can read text, look away and try again. That's usually when you realize that you weren't reading at all. The text will change or become illegible at a second glance."

Estimated read time - 15 minutes.

(explaining)

But you see, it's never just a dream. When we Dream Walk, we can transcend time and space. It's more like an alternate dimension.

(teaching a technique)

To choose your destination, you must picture it in your mind while in Twilight. Imagine it as vividly as you possibly can. The colors, the sights, the sounds—smells even. The more real it becomes in your imagination, the more fully the location will manifest in your dream. This part usually isn't difficult. Humans use their imaginations all the time. It's the next step, Lucidity, that is a bit tricky.

(supportive)

No pressure, Rachel. Dream Walking isn't easy. If it were, everyone would do it. The four of us have trained for years. Francis is confident you have what it takes. I believe him, and I believe in you. You ready?

Estimated read time - 15 minutes.

(bringing the group up to speed)

Now let us begin. The world outside BethEl is hardly what you remember. It is a pitiful shadow of the beauty that once was humanity. Since the day of the fall, humans have been on a slow descent. Instead of establishing Heaven on earth, they have manifested Hell. The world that remains is unrecognizable.

This dilapidated church will be your base camp. Do not be dismayed by its state. For as you know, the Lord no longer dwells amidst temples and tabernacles. Now he dwells in the hearts of men.

(encouraging)

Yahweh chose you. Have you forgotten that Yahweh chooses the unexpected, unseen, unlikely, and dare I say, the unqualified?

Estimated read time - 15 minutes.

(trying to encourage)

It takes time. We have to integrate into their world first. We can't bind Yahweh with time constraints.

(flirting)

You have the best smile...and the most perfectly bowed lips. Anyone ever tell you that?

(frustrated)

Our work here is not done. There are other relationships that have formed too.

(throwing up her hands)

So, you're going to completely abandon all the work we've done here?

(mumbling)

I can't believe this.

Estimated read time - 15 minutes.

(as the Watcher)

You still don't understand? Let me put it into words you might comprehend. I know that stupid monk and teacher told you about the Breach. They aren't sure how it happened, but I know. It was you! You caused the Breach and endangered this entire town. Why? Because you are evil!

(as Lord Alderman - creepy)

Ah. There it is. There's that fire I love! It's what makes you so powerful. Don't you see, Rachel? It's one of the reasons I chose you. Your fire and your pretty face. Yes, that is why I chose you. I like what you did with your hair, by the way.The color suits you.

(as Lord Alderman - threatening)

You've always been one of my most loyal subjects. So, imagine my surprise when I inspected the lab and found a small puddle of epinephrine on the floor where my dear Rachel breathed her last. You did not try to save her. You let her die!

Estimated read time - 15 minutes.

(as Aleph)

I am here to guide you. My interference is limited. It is you who must choose to seek the truth. I cannot tell you the truth because you already know it. The truth is in you, but you have forgotten it.

(as Aleph)

Because, Rachel. You are worth it. Your life has a purpose, and it is not the purpose those evil men told you every day of your life. You were made for something more.

(as Jesus)

Rachel, in order to find the Lord's Anointed, you must remember. You can, and you will. You've met Aleph? Trust him, Rachel. he will lead you. I sent him to guide you.

NOTE: The person cast as Rivi will also be expected to voice some minor roles with variations in tone. Please also audition for the Minor Female Roles.

Estimated read time - 5 minutes.

(explaining)

Lucidity is the moment you realize you're in a dream. In the beginning, this is incredibly difficult to do. Because you have to wake your conscious mind while your body remains asleep. Waking the mind is hard, but to stay in the dream is the real challenge.

(sly remark)

Micaiah, take us somewhere spacious. We need plenty of room for Elias' head.

(giving her opinion)

Begging your pardon, Francis, but that is a terrible idea. You saw. She hasn't even Walked yet. Can't stay Lucid. To make her the Dreamer, well, it wouldn't be wise.

NOTE: The person cast as Jesse will also be expected to voice some minor roles with variations in tone. Please also audition for the Minor Male Roles.

Estimated read time - 5 minutes.

(beginning a story)

Well, some of the guys from work go to the bar after our shift ends. So I joined them today. I thought, you know, I'll have a drink, get to know them a little better, build some relationships, that sort of thing. But when I got there, they were already yapping away.

(kidding Cohen)

I joke! I joke! You're muy guapo. The ladies love you.

(reaction after hearing someone he knew helped Rachel)

Ay, Dios mio. He helped you escape? What does that mean. Escape from what? Did he say anything?

NOTE: The person cast as Jubilee will also be expected to voice some minor roles with variations in tone. Please also audition for the Minor Female Roles.

Estimated read time - 5 minutes.

(introducing herself to Rachel)

I'm Jubilee. I live next door. I wasn't sure if you were a wild soul like me, so Leah and Chloe chipped in some normal clothes Anything colorful, you can bet, is from me.

Most people are at the Academy about four years. Some progress faster than others. A few are here longer, like Cohen. He was the longest standing student. He studied and trained for just over six years. Rabbi still wasn't ready to release him for graduation, but Francis insisted. One of the perks of having the town Priest as your Mentor.

(has lost her joy)

Hopefully I'll graduate by the end of this year. Yeah, my progress has slowed a bit.

NOTE: The person cast as Nelson will also be expected to voice some minor roles with variations in tone. Please also audition for the Minor Male Roles.

Estimated read time - 5 minutes.

(trying to convince Lord Alderman)

Just be advised, we must get this right on the first try. If the specimen she deliversis not to your liking, you will have to find a different host. This one will not be viable after delivery.

(covering his nose with a cloth because of the smell)

She's been here, what, ten days? Don't you guys feed her?

(trying to revive Rachel with CPR)

C'mon, c'mon. I'm sorry, I thought letting you die was better than what they were about to do to you. I know you are gone, but if there is any chance I can bring you back...I can't do it anymore. I can't participate in this evil. If you only knew the things I've seen, the things I've done.

NOTE: The person cast as Hayden will also be expected to voice some minor roles with variations in tone. Please also audition for the Minor Male Roles.

Estimated read time - 5 minutes.

(innocent as he introduces himself)

Hi. You're Rachel, right? You should join us for a workout today.

(threatening)

You shouldn't have left, Rachel. You had a good life. You know that anyone who tries to leave never escapes, and for those who do try, it doesn't end well.

(creepy to violent)

I see why the boss likes you. It's a shame I can't keep you all to myself. I'd have my way with you, of course. And then I'd kill you!

NOTE: The person cast as Anna will also be expected to voice some minor roles with variations in tone. Please also audition for the Minor Female Roles.

Estimated read time - 5 minutes.

(slowly trying to evaluate Rachel)

We call it the Clinic, but yes, you are in a medical facility. I have a few questions for you. We can try to answer them now if you feel up to it.

(reassuring)

Ah, there. You see? Your voice is already coming back to you. It's nice to meet you, Rachel. My name is Anna. I am one of the Menders. We have a whole team of Healers, Menders, and Intercessors who are caring for you.

(calmly giving facts)

Listen, Rachel. You were in an automobile accident. You were thrown from the vehicle. You've experienced severe head trauma and have multiple wounds and lacerations all over your body, including one very large abdominal wound. You lost a lot of blood and have been in and out of consciousness for three days.

Estimated read time - 2 minutes.

(a young woman working in the clinic speaking to Rachel's visitor)

Wait to see if she recognizes you before you say anything. She knows she has a visitor, but we haven't told her who.

(an elderly woman)

Shabbat Shalom!

(an 11 year old member of the team sent from BethEl)

This is where we're supposed to live? But we don't know how long we will be here. What if we do end up living here? Forever?

Estimated read time - 2 minutes.

(a thirteen year-old boy who is a student at the BethEl Academy)

I have the interpretation. It is the Shema. 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

(a gruff, harsh man in his late thirties)

Man, Hayden sure did a number on you. Not sure the boss will want you back after he sees you. Personally, I think he should let Hayden keep you for himself. You know what they say: you break it, you bought it.

(part of the team sent from BethEl - any age - concerned that their leader is leaving)

Reassigned? What does that mean? Who then will lead us?
