"Another Normal Date" Script Preview (Patreon)

“Thank you! Thank you!”

“That concludes our concert for tonight. I want to thank all of you for coming out tonight. You guys have been such an amazing crowd.”

“There’s just one last thing we need from you guys. As promised, one of you lucky people from the crowd gets to come with me backstage for pictures with me and the band and the whole shebang.”

“So let’s get those hands up! Who wants to come backstage?”

“Let’s see...”

“Heh, how about you?”

“Yeah you, come on up here!”

“Hehe, come on guys, make way! Bring them up!”

“Here, take my hand.”

“There we go~”

“Alright, everyone! Show’s over! Drive home safe! Peace out!”

“Whew...that was a hell of a rush.”

“My voice is shot.”

“Hey there~ Congrats on being the chosen one.”

“Oh, yeah. I know you. Didn’t I eat your date that one time~?”

“Yup, I especially remember that cute face of yours. What a happy coincidence that I happened to pick you~”

“Yes, a total coincidence, completely random. Hehe~”

“So how’ve you been? Oh, what’d you think of the show?”

“10 out of 10? Come on, that’s way too generous! That was a 7 at best.”

“Listen, I am my own biggest critic. That said, I had a great time. I’m so glad you liked it!”

“Well, let’s not stand around. I want to like, show you around!”

“The catering tonight was pretty good. They got us these donuts from a local bakery and some mini pies too!”

“I know! Fucking mini pies! They’re the best!”

“Sorry if I seem over-excited. I go a little crazy after concerts.”

“Can I just say? You smell...so nice. What is that?”

“Yeah, you smell like...well, I was gonna say tasty, but you probably don’t want to hear that.”

“Haha! I’m serious! I don’t think you realize how appetizing you are. See that security guard? She was licking her lips and staring right at you when you weren’t looking.”

“No, really, she was!”

“It’s cute! Don’t worry about it! I mean, that just means you're that much more of a snacc~”

“Aw~ There’s that blush. You’re way too easy to tease; I love it~”

“Let’s go outside to get some fresh air. There’s this place I want to show you.”

“Yeah! It’s not far, just a little walk from here. Do you mind if we hang out for a bit? I won’t force you or anything if...y’know, you have places to be.”

“Oh, cool! Yeah, let’s go, then!”

“So...can I ask? Um...why’d you stop texting me?”

“I feel like we really had a thing going and...then you just kinda ghosted me.”

“Oh. Yeah, I think I understand. You just...got nervous when you saw how famous I was getting...right?”

“Babe, you don’t have to worry about that. Natural Law is like, my dream job but I’m not going to let that get in the way of living a semi-normal life. Who cares what the fans think? I still talk, sleep, play games, get drunk, and eat people just like any other girl!”

“Yeah I called you babe. I call you that all the time! It’s cuz you’re such a sweetheart...and a honey...and my darling...and my sunshine...and my adorable kitten~ Is that too much for a second date?”

“Oooh, flustered already~? I’ll ease up...but I’m serious about-”

“Huh?!”

Prey: “Hey! Watch it!”

“Watch it? You’re the one staring down at your phone and running completely blind.”

Prey: “Look, unless you wanna get eaten, you better- ...Oh. My. God. Karmen? Like, Karmen the lead singer of Natural Law!?”

“Uh...yeah?”

Prey: “AH! Could you sign my shirt! No, wait, sign my belly!”

“Hey, I’m a...little busy right now.”

Prey: ”I just need a picture! Just one picture! Please please please~!”

“Ugh...are you with the paparazzi or something?”

“Let me just snuggle on in between you two aaand...say cheese~! AHH!?”

(Karmen eats the fan)

“Mm...not bad...but I’ve had better.”

“Er- sorry about that. My fans aren’t usually that annoying.”

(Fan continued to struggle inside Karmen’s stomach)

“S’cuse me...”

“So where were we?”

“Heh, yeah... I hope you don’t mind a third wheel on our second date, but I bet she’ll quiet down soon enough.”

“Aw, you’re too sweet.”

“Do you mind if we hold hands?”

“Yes, I know. I can already see the headlines. Karmen and her fan walking together! How scandalous~ “

“Ah, perfect.”

“So, the concert. I know you said you liked it, but what would you say was your favorite song?”

“Really? That one has a special place in my heart. After my first big gig, I wrote it in one night, which basically never happens to me. I was exhausted, but I couldn’t turn my brain off. I was having this flood of inspiration that didn’t stop. I just needed to get those words down on paper.”

“Well, the lyrics about swallowing someone whole aren’t supposed to be taken literally, but I guess that fits with the theme of my life, doesn’t it? Hehe~”

“Okay, so that song in particular is meant to hype up the audience.”

“I usually imagine a bar fight taking place when I hear it.”

“A music video? No way, I could never. I mean I could, but like...”

“No, I’d be super hyped to make a music video! I just have no idea how I’d go about it. But with how fast our popularity is growing, I feel like it’s gonna happen sooner or later.”

“Those ones are pretty low-effort. I like when music videos are more...interesting.”

“I don’t know how long the popularity will last. That means I gotta treat this as if it’ll never happen again. Live in the moment, but manage every important detail when it counts.”

“Aw, you’re trying to cheer me up, huh~? Thanks, love.”

“You surprise me. Based on the chats we used to have, I feel like you also second-guess yourself a lot. Overthinking is basically a deadly sin. Sort of...”

“Well, technically vainglory is one of the eight evil thoughts, but that overlaps with the pride category, don’t you think?”

“I’m not THAT much of a glutton...you get feistier every time we chat, I swear.”

“Heh, I mean...you’re not wrong.”

“Good thing my prey are always so inclined to settle in all the right places.”

“Hm? No, I didn’t say anything.”

“I’m glad I actually spotted you in that crowd. Usually I’m just blind to faces in the audience. It makes it easier to shake away the nervousness.”

“My band is there to back me up, though. Ever since I told them that I'm learning how to play every instrument, they've been giving me some really helpful tips!"

“Yup, every single instrument in existence! I’ll always be the lead singer, but eventually I'll learn how to play all of them. The electric guitar is my main instrument, but I also play some mad violin.”

“Yes, I wanna play the marimba.”

“Yes, I want to play the didgeridoo. What part of ‘I want to learn how to play every instrument’ do you not understand!?”

“Hehe~”

“I guess I should tell you where we’re going. Just a little farther down this way, they’ve got a park with a lake in the middle where you can rent swan boats...”

“Yeah! I thought it would be fun! Romantic, even~”

“Right?!”

(BURPS)

“Whoa….  sorry!! I don’t normally burp up...clothes...what is this, her bra….? What’s left of it, at least…”

“Let me just...pick that up and...throw it in the trash. I can’t stand littering on the street.”

“Deja vu, isn’t it? I’m sorry, I don’t know what comes over me. I feel this intense urge to eat and then...it gets hard to think about anything else and...well, you saw what happened last time.”

“I’ve had a lot of practice.”

“So~ What’s been going on with you? Staying out of trouble?”

“Ooh, I knew you would like it! I’m glad you took my recommendations to heart.”

“That sounds delicious! Why didn’t you tell me you were a culinary artist~?”

“Ah, don’t be modest. I’d love to try out your cooking.”

“I’ll take a large order of fries, please. Wait, scratch that. I’ll take a large order of you~ Hehe~”

“Well, here we are...come on, get in the boat! I'll pay for the ride, my treat!"

“Alright...don’t fall in the water now~”

“Comfy? Good!”

“This is lovely...”

“Hmm? Oh, well if you’re offering, sure. I wouldn’t mind a belly rub.”

“Ahh~ That feels nice~”

“Mmm~”

”Hey, check it out! A family of ducks!”

“So cute...kinda like you~”

“I wasn’t kidding when I said you were a cutie last time~ I feel like I could marry someone like you~ You’d make an adorable spouse~”

“Babe...you know I’m crazy about you...”

“Hey...look at me~”

(Kiss)

“MMm~ Perfect~”

“Shhh~ You don’t have to say anything, love.”

“You smell so good~”

{Good Ending}

“Mm~ I’ve been wanting to do that for so long.”

“Yeah..?”

“Yeah~”

“I know, babe, I know~”

“Oh, that look in your eyes is doing things to me~”

(Phone rings)

“Damn it...why now?”

(Answers phone)

“Yes? What is it?”

“I’m just treating our beloved fan to a little stroll through the park...”

“No, you can’t eat them, they’re mine. I call dibs.”

“Sure, I’ll be back in a bit. Just let me have this one night, I deserve a break.”

“Thanks, see you in a bit.”

“Well, looks like our date is cut short yet again. It’s okay, though...let’s just...relax...and let our bodies to the talking~”

“And...promise me we’ll meet again.”

“Good~”

(BURPS)

“Er...s’cuse me...haha...”

{Bad Ending}

“Damn...you taste really good...”

“S-so...delicious...”

“Baby...I...no! No, I...”

“Fuck...I can’t resist you any longer...”

“I need you inside me~”

(Karmen eats you)

“Ohh....God...you tasted even better than I imagined~”

“I’m sorry, babe...but I think we both knew it would end this way...you, inside my gut...slowly digesting away and becoming a part of me.”

“MMm~ I can still taste you on my lips~”

“Play nice with your fellow prey in there...what’s left of her, at least.”

“Sorry if it’s cramped, I just couldn’t wait any longer...”

“Fuck...I’m so stuffed~”

“You’ll both be digested soon enough.”

“Mmm~ I needed this~”

“You’re mine...all mine~”

(Phone rings)

(Answers phone)

“Mm...yes?”

“I just went out to get myself a meal...”

“Sure, I’ll be back in a bit. I just need some time to digest them a little longer before I get up and move. My stomach is pretty heavy right now with all this meat.”

“Sure thing, see you in a bit!”

“Hah...that’s it...just relax and let my body take care of you.”

“I love you~”

(Morning...)

“Good morning, love...”

“Looks like you’ve digested nicely.”

“Such generous prey. You look wonderful on my ass~”

“At least now we’ll be together forever, right~?”

“Hehe... I’m glad you agree~”
