Synopsis
Following the chaotic crew of a surreal TV station with a nonstop broadcast schedule, it's obvious that the gig is less about the grueling demands of the seemingly eternal job and more about the strangeness of the employees themselves. Of course, that isn't going to stop the goofy and wildly inept camera-head Momo from shining!

Secretary
Secretary is the proficient and begrudging right-hand woman to Boss, handling all of the tasks he cannot be bothered with or cleaning up messes caused by others. She is highly competent when compared to her wacky coworkers, and on the surface perfectly performs the stereotype of the polished, (if a bit grumpy) dutiful office assistant. Her underlying resentment occasionally slips through via dry or snarky remarks, although it seems she can never outright refuse Boss’s tasks. Reprogrammed from an older model, Secretary sometimes speaks in what sound like canned sitcom lines, or defaults to more shallow and upbeat behaviours that amplify her soap opera “secretary” style even more. These moments can be a bit jarring in serious situations, but are scarcely addressed.voice: Polished and pleasant on the surface, with tightly restrained irritation underneath. Exasperation should seep through even when she tries to sound agreeable. Very rarely genuinely amused, and even when angry she clearly holds back the worst of it and hates it. Has a slight Slavic accent.VA: Lil Liffy
Boss
Boss is the eclectic head of the PAP tv station, a position that he adores primarily for the opportunities to impose his own whims over others. He is much like a spoilt child in the ways he directs his subordinates, being incredibly selfish, flighty, and immature. He has little interest in more difficult or uninteresting maintenances, often shirking them off onto others so that he can spend more time pursuing his own immediate pleasures. While Boss is typically scatterbrained, there are also moments of inordinate intelligence that seem to peek through at seemingly random times. These moments typically still revolve around his own self-centred and silly nature.voice: Energetic mid range male voice. Relaxed and conversational as the baseline, able to jump quickly into frantic, sarcastic, panicked, or theatrical tones. Flexible pacing, fast during chaotic bits, slower during quieter moments. slight rasp when excited is welcome. Should sound approachable underneath the chaos. ability to shift tone fast and make spontaneous noises (to distract his opponents obviously).VA: Neonsomble
Farfalle
Farfalle is the quiet, steadfast friend and protector of Momo. She is mainly characterized by the fact that she is usually voiceless, responding to situations with small humming noises or cartoon-esque text bubbles. She is also seen as quite intimidating by most other characters, with it often taking no more than her silent stare to cow down anyone trying to antagonize Momo. Much of Farfalle’s protectiveness and intimidation are centred around her, as she has taken the responsibility onto herself to ensure Momo remains physically and emotionally safe. Their bond is very sister-like, with Farfalle only showing genuine affection towards Momo most of the time and seeming to have little to no regard for anyone else, willing to go along with even the most insane plots if it means staying by Momo’s side.voice:
Openly opinionated, and not afraid to let irritation or disdain slip into the delivery. Important to be able to shift into a softer, calmer tone during rare moments of vulnerability. Must know and speak korean.VA: Robin van der Niet
Intern
Intern is an anxious, easily overwhelmed worker who is commonly assigned to assist Momo and Farfalle in their various escapades. They are often overlooked and typically are only brought out of the background when some low-level task arises or others require a comedic punching bag, though in any instance they still try their best to be useful. However, Intern is also the only one to consistently question their surroundings, calling to attention the strange actions of those around them and feeling unsure what to do in more extreme scenarios. Their behaviour can also shift very suddenly and drastically, going from sharp to gentle, or attentive to indifferent on a dime. What does not change is their unwavering obedience, as well as their general confusion. Intern uses the pronouns they/them, but others consistently refer to them via he/him and they never correct it.voice:
Androgynous tone, with a natural anxious edge. The performer should handle quick emotional shifts and show a wide expressive range, from soft and sweet to detached or abruptly firm. The core delivery should feel uncertain and hesitant.VA: EndowniVA, Lucas Calabretta, Wren "Sanguine" Paget
Wellness Inspector [M]
Wellness Inspector arrives to evaluate staff conditions and ensure the station meets every requirement on his checklist. He believes emotions interfere with clear judgement, preferring to quietly observe and perform clinical interviews rather that directly injecting himself into any given situation. He is calm, cold, precise, and generally unreadable; this unwavering deadpan demeanor easily unnerves others around him. Wellness Inspector does not appear interested in being sociable, and keeps a controlled, mysterious presence.voice:
Controlled, steady, and emotionally flat. Calm delivery, minimal inflection, and a consistently detached tone. Should feel analytical, distant, and unshakable, with an understated but intimidating presence. Always very to the point with limited people skills, almost clinical. British accent (his only defect).VA: Dean "OTOCOL" Hauck
Momo
Momo is relentlessly cheerful, driven by optimism and genuine enthusiasm. Childish, eager, and endlessly curious, she is easily distracted by the world around her, not out of carelessness but out of wonder. Unlike Boss’s self-centered chaos, Momo’s scattered nature comes from sincerity: she wants to help everyone and be involved in everything, even when she doesn’t fully understand the task or her own limitations, valuing effort and intent over results.Momo craves approval. She wants desperately to be seen as useful, reliable, and worth keeping around.Momo’s head is a star that can transform into different objects depending on how well she understands or imagines them. Familiar items can become near-perfect copies, while unfamiliar ones often turn out flawed or unstable. Most often, the star becomes a camera, which Momo uses to film reports for the station, usually with mixed success.va: widdlebean
Capu
Capu is the station’s perfect television host. Adored by Boss and widely admired, he seems to always know what to say, even when his words are not always understood. He has an instinctive feel for spectacle, always finding the perfect moment to start filming, and quickly becomes the center of every broadcast.Despite a large and devoted fanbase, Capu remains indifferent to praise, wealth, or status. He measures success in impact and visibility, pushing every segment to be bigger, louder, and more extreme. Exhaustion, pressure, and absurdity are simply part of the process.Capu believes in action over reflection. Problems are solved by doing something (preferably something enormous) and letting momentum carry everything forward. Whether that makes him visionary or reckless depends entirely on how long you’re forced to keep up.va: LanaWebb
