Season 2 Bonus – Sam's Day Off – Residents of Proserpina Park – A Mythology Audio Drama
Sam #1 – SCENE – SAM’S HOME – RELEASE AFTER EP 12
Sam is having a nightmare.
ALINA: (dream echo-y memory) Sam, what’s going on? You’re scaring me. Sam, Sam–
TERRY: Sam!
SFX: (Sam wakes up from a nap.)
SAM: Huh? Oh Terry. You scared me.
TERRY: You were tossing and turning like crazy. Figured you’d rather be awake at this point.
SAM: Yeah… thanks.
TERRY: What were you dreaming about?
SAM: (sighs) It was Alina. I think… I think for some reason I feel guilty.
TERRY: Guilty for what? From what you told me, she’s the one who broke your trust.
SAM: Yeah, but it’s not like I gave her a lot of reasons to trust me either.
TERRY: Sam… (sigh) You need to take a break from the park. I already told my father that I’d walk Cerberus for a bit.
SAM: (Nervous) Are you sure? Did he ask any questions?
TERRY: I just said you’re busy with work right now. It’s been a while since I’ve been up there anyways.
SAM: Thanks Terry. I know it can get dangerous if you stay in the park for too long…
TERRY: (Scoffs) What is she going to do? Kill me? Then she’d be stuck with me for six months out of the year and she knows it.
SAM: (laughs) You’re the only person I know who’s guaranteed to live a long life because your stepmother never wants to see you.
TERRY: Which means you need to live just as long as me, Sam. Now go outside and do something! Can’t believe I’m the one who has to tell you this.
Sam #2 – SCENE – INTERIOR CAFE – RELEASE AFTER EP 14
Drew is working at the cafe when Sam unknowingly bumps into them.
DREW: Next! (pause) I said next!
SAM: Oh! Sorry, I didn’t mean to zone out like that. Uh, shoot. I didn’t really get a chance to look at the menu.
DREW: (Sigh) Listen, I know everyone has off days, but there’s a huge line behind you.
SAM: Right, again sorry about that. I’ll have… uhh
DREW: How about an earl gray?
SAM: Huh?
DREW: You strike me as someone who drinks coffee black, which I appreciate, but you also look like you haven’t slept in a week, so let’s get you off caffeine and onto something more subtle. Next one’s on the house if you don’t like the tea.
SAM: Thanks. I guess I do look like I…look like a bit of a mess, huh?
DREW: Yeah but it’s fine. I’m used to coffee addicts who need to tone it down.
SAM: Really? It seems like this cafe is pretty calm.
DREW: Oh not the customers. My friend. I’ve been trying to wean her off the cold brew for awhile now.
SAM: (laughs) One of those I see.
DREW: Yup. Now what’s your name?
SAM: My… name?
DREW: For your drink?
SAM: Oh right. My name is Sam.
DREW: Great, just step to the side and someone will call out your order. By the way, uh I’m Drew, you know, for the next time.
SAM: Thanks Drew, I’ll take you up on it.
DREW: …Why do I feel like I’m forgetting something?
Sam #3 – SCENE – SAM’S HOME – RELEASE AFTER EP 16
Terry meets up with Sam again to discuss what’s happened in the park.
TERRY: I met her recently.
SAM: Who?
TERRY: Alina, who else? Had the audacity to run right up to me. She thought I was you.
SAM: She returned back to the park? Why? Isn’t it dangerous there now?
TERRY: Relax, I gave her a warning. But it seems like they already encountered a… situation. One of her friends looked like he was attacked by a vampire.
SAM: Was it Jun?
TERRY: It’s not him, Sam. I don’t know who he is, but he sounds way dumber than the one you know.
SAM: How can that be though? He looks exactly like Jun.
TERRY: I don’t know. He never really told you about his family right? Maybe he has siblings. Hell, maybe he’s a twin.
SAM: He would have told me that much though… wouldn’t he?
TERRY: (sighs) I don’t know Sam. But I don’t think Alina will be coming back to the park regardless. Like I said, her friends seemed… skittish.
SAM: What did you do?
TERRY: I only introduced them to some of my friends! Nothing wrong with showing them the reality of the park.
SAM: (Face palms) I should return to the park soon…
TERRY: Nah, not yet. There’s one more thing I need to check first.
SAM: Okay. Be safe.
TERRY: (laughs) Tell that to the other guys.
Sam #4 – SCENE – INTERIOR CAFE – RELEASE AFTER EP 18
Sam returns to the cafe to get the free drink Drew promised.
DREW: Next! Oh, welcome back.
SAM: Thanks. I’m surprised you remember me.
DREW: I make sure to keep my promises. Now, what did you think about the tea? Yay or nay?
SAM: It wasn’t… half bad. Granted, it’s very different from my usual…
DREW: So you hated it.
SAM: (laughs) Is it that obvious?
DREW: (shrugs) Most people are either coffee or tea drinkers. It’s rare to meet someone who’s both. Anyways, you look much better than last time. What can I get you?
SAM: How about an Americano?
DREW: Hot or cold?
SAM: Hot, please.
DREW: Coming right up! What was your name again?
SAM: It’s Sam.
DREW: Righhhttt.
SAM: Is something wrong with my name?
DREW: No… ironically I’ve been looking for a Sam.
SAM: Looking for a Sam?
DREW: Yeah, right? It’s hard to explain as well, so I won’t bore you. I just thought, what are the odds that maybe you’re the one I’m looking for.
SAM: (laughs) Is this some kind of new way to hit on someone?
DREW: Oh, no. Sorry, that sounded really inappropriate, didn’t it?
SAM: It’s fine. I know you didn’t mean it like that.
DREW: Thanks. Your coffee should be coming right up.
Sam #5 – SCENE – SAM’S HOME – RELEASE AFTER EP 20
Terry meets up with Sam again to discuss what’s happened in the park.
TERRY: (sighs)
SAM: I know that sigh. Did you talk with your dad?
TERRY: Yup. Things have somehow gotten out of hand very quickly in the park.
SAM: What happened?
TERRY: Do you want the park news or the Alina news?
SAM: She’s still going to the park?
TERRY: Yeah, she’s a tenacious one, to say the least.
SAM: Well, what does she want?
TERRY: To meet you of course. Here. (Gives Sam a USB stick) I dared her to do something and well, she came through. So, I promised I’d at least give you this. Up to you if you want to listen to it though.
SAM: She wanted me to have this?
TERRY: Anyways, there’s some more troubling news to discuss.
SAM: What is it?
TERRY: Apparently, it’s back.
SAM: It was spotted? By who?
TERRY: A Vetala.
SAM: What did your father say?
TERRY: Well… I didn’t really mention… that there were humans in the park. So he wasn’t… exactly concerned. He said you didn’t have to walk Cerberus though if you don’t feel safe.
SAM: No, this is perfect. It’s time to finally deal with this nightmare once and for all.
