The Wretched Crow is a shared universe story that highlights a variety of characters that frequent an obscure town's local bar. You the listener, as a traveling writer, visit the town of Decay on your cross-country journey to try and capture people's stories for inspiration. What do the people of this sad little bar have to share?
A mysterious tavern possesses a colorful cast of characters. Who will you meet today?
In all, these scripts amount to three male, two female, and one deliberately ungendered voice [MMMFFA4A] (with one voice repeating), though I would be okay with some of these flipping if necessary—just be aware that scripts reference the other characters, so other VAs may need to adjust their scripts too. I've also written some of these scripts in a way where you don't necessarily need to fill all seven parts to stand on their own—that being, they can be independently filled and probably still be coherent. That said, these are to be heard in the exact order as they are listed below.
Welcome to Decay. We hope you enjoy your visit.
