Hi-! I discovered you through Jouska, and I LOVE your slasher 101 script and was wondering if there was anymore?? (After the 3 eps Jouska posted) and if so, where can I read them?😅❤️
Hi Osiris!!
I loooooved writing the slasher scripts and Jouska did such a great job bringing those to life. It is a finished project at 3 episodes. I did write another horror script but I haven't found a home for it yet. I might try writing more of those. I really love the horror "who do we trust?" stress in those audios and, of course, Jouska is perfect for that because he sometimes often voices untrustworthy characters.
I also wrote a scifi adventure script Jouska voiced, and then some one-off romantic ones that I tossed up on reddit and here if anyone wanted to try them.
If and when I ever have more audios/scripts of my stuff, they will definitely be posted here too. <3 <3
Thank you for listening to the Slasher 101s! I'm really glad you liked them!
Ok so I have to know, what happened in the end with the slasher 101 couple, I know they’re probably safe. But. How is their relationship at the end? Are they endgame? Are they an official couple? This is killing me
Anon!! Thank you for this question. There relationship is solid. They are absolutely endgame! They survived a killer together! Speaker sent Glasses ahead to the car with his keys, ready to stall to give them a chance to escape, and Glasses came back for him! They are forged in fire!
They are official in the sense that obviously they are but every so often Glasses gets those toxic thoughts that he's just a really good friend and doesn't really like them like that. Even when they get an apartment together.
They also go to self defense classes together because it turns out you should always be prepared to find yourself in the middle of a slasher movie.
I was relistening to the Slasher 101 series and just seriously blown away by how Jouska pulled off this ridiculous script. Especially the third part. There were so many background sound demands and a damn actions scene. I think I honestly wrote things like "horror sounds" in the script and he made that happen.
The final part to this absolutely normal meet cute story!
warning: it's not a normal meet cute... it's a slasher. you're in a slasher. good luck!

Part 3 - It Always Ends at a Party
I absolutely agree, a house party is a bad idea.
But if we were going to go, we should go together, right? Safety in numbers.
Really, what would be safer, glasses, being the only two people staying home or being in a frat house packed to the rafters with other people?
[laughs] Okay, safe from a serial killer, obviously. Not safe from…everything else that can go wrong.
It’s not a fire hazard. It’s just a party!
I’m not saying that we should definitely go, I’m just saying that maybe we should think about going. It would be fun, and the last couple months have been… intense.
It’s not until next week anyway. You can think about it. Here, I’ll tack the flyer up on your corkboard right between this incredibly detailed list of goals for the year and… Is this an expired coupon for soft serve? Why do you still have this?
[laughs] You’re lactose intolerant!
I’m tossing the coupon.
What else do you have up here… I’m seeing a lot of sticky note reminders and take out menus…
I still have a half hour before my class starts. That’s plenty of time to get across campus.
It is for me… You should really reconsider coming out running with me in the morning. We can do a light jog! We’ll take it at your pace, just around the campus and back. You’ll love it, glasses. Okay, that’s a lie, you’re going to hate it, but I will let you complain the whole way and after we get back, you’re going to realize how much more awake you feel. It’ll change your whole day!
Really? [surprised] You’ll really give it a try?
Wait, are you agreeing to go running so you can turn down the party?
[laughs] I would take that deal, yeah… I’d much rather have you to myself in the morning than share you with a bunch of people at a loud party.
I’m not trying to charm you into anything!
That’s just flirting, glasses. I’m flirting with you.
[pause]
Wait… Did you not realize I’ve been flirting with you? Oh, glasses… Come on!
No, this isn’t a joke!
I’ve been sleeping in your bed for the last four nights!
[laughs] Extenuating circumstances?
Uh-huh… and what about when our study session turned into a make out session yesterday?
Are you blushing? Now? You weren’t blushing when you kissed me!
If we’re not dating, then we’re at least more than friends.
No? So, this is how all your friendships look?
I don’t know why you’re cramming all your books into that bag like you’re about to leave. This is your room and you just got back. I know your schedule, glasses. You have no more classes today. You even changed into your comfy clothes. Which you did right here in the room with me, by the way. I saw everything.
[laughs] Oh god, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this red before…
So, you can kiss me, and sit in my lap, and snuggle up against me at night, so long as we never talk about it? Is that what’s going on here?
[closer, smiling] Am I like… your secret boyfriend? You know, I’d make great arm candy if you want to parade me around some. Like to, say, a party full of our peers?
[laughs] Okay! I’ll drop it for now. You can think about it. [kiss] I’m going to class. I’ll pick up dinner on my way back and then we can talk some more about how we’re definitely not a couple…
-
Glasses, why is my stuff in the hall? Are you throwing me out? I can’t tell because you folded everything so neatly…
Oh shit, you’re actually angry. Why?
Which dead girl?
What are you—
Oh.
Yeah… I mean, I met Casey a few times, but I didn’t know her.
What? Who have you been talking to?
I’m not lying to you! I… I slept with her a couple times freshman year. We were at some of the same parties and had some friends in common.
No, she was just using me to try to make one of my friends jealous. And that was fine because it’s not like I was hurt. We barely knew each other.
Why does it matter what friend?
[laughs unhappily] You don’t think I have friends?
Come on, glasses…
No, I stopped hanging out with them.
[raises voice] Because they were assholes! Because they made me feel like an asshole!
[pause]
[sighs] I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to yell.
Nothing happened. I just… I didn’t like myself or my life, and realizing that was rough. I bailed on everything I could. On clubs and on friends. I just, bailed, and no one fucking noticed.
[to himself] No one noticed. That’s the kind of friends I had.
Are…Are you seriously asking me that? I’m not using you. I was trying to get my life the way I wanted it and I just…I always had a crush on you and I decided to get to know you better.
Bullshit? Are you kidding? I’m telling you—
Just because you can’t see how amazing you are, doesn’t mean that I don’t! You care a lot about everything you do and everyone in your life.
No! I’m not trying to get you to fall for me just to make myself feel better. I can’t believe you’re—
[pause]
[confused] The guy from my building?
Okay, yeah, I did say I didn’t know him… I didn’t want to talk about it! So what if I did? I told you, I hadn’t talked to any of my old friends more than a few words for the last year. I never really knew them—
I didn’t know the couple! What the fuck are you even driving at?
You… [realization] Glasses, do you think I’m the killer?
Logical? No, it’s not! I was with you when we found those bodies! Do you think I’m some sort of deranged mastermind? You think I set it up like that? Why? To scare you into my arms? Oh my god, of course! And then I killed the guy in my building, somehow knowing that my dorm would be closed and I’d get to come knock on your door? If I’m this fucking brilliant, then why would I need you to be my partner for the final? Clearly, I’m a genius.
What?
[quieter] You don’t really think that. You’re upset about Casey and scared about the murders so you’re spinning out. No. No, if you thought I was planning to murder you, you wouldn’t fucking dump my shit outside and wait for me to come back to argue with you about it. You would have called the cops. Did you call the cops, glasses? No. Because you know I wouldn’t hurt you, or anyone else.
So what if I knew them? You probably would have too if you went to a party or joined a club, or just fucking looked up from your books!
No, of course I didn’t just make friends with you for the final project. You… You looked lonely. You looked lonely the way I felt lonely. And the more we talked, the more I liked you. That’s all. There’s nothing shady or murderous about it.
[pause]
[sad/tired sigh, annoyed] My building is open again, so I’ll move my stuff back to my room.
Fine, glasses. Have it your way. I’ll see you around.
-
[house party sounds, muffled music and background voices]
[surprised] Glasses? What are you doing here?
My roommate told you— You mean, you came to see me?
It’s been a few days… I didn’t think you wanted to talk.
[sighs] No, I’m sorry. I should have told you the whole truth, but I didn’t have anything to do with it. I barely knew them.
Glasses… Look at me. [softer] Look at me.
You know me. I would never hurt you. You know that, right?
You… [smiles] Yeah, I’d love to be your partner for the final.
Wait, did you come by yourself?
You shouldn’t have done that. The campus has a whole buddy system rule in place. [mock gasp] I can’t believe you broke a rule!
[smiling] So, you were counting on someone walking you home? I can definitely do that. You want a drink while we’re here?
Yeah, take mine. I’ll grab another. Do you want to meet some people? Or do you want to go hide in a corner and make out?
Yes, that’s exactly what happens at a party, glasses. Later we summon a demon with a Ouija board, but first we’re going to play spin the bottle and kiss some strangers… [laughs] I’m joking! About the Ouija board and the bottle. We’re still kissing strangers.
Ow! No hitting, we just made up!
Okay, stay put, I’ll be right back.
[party sounds]
[other voice, muffle from distance] What the hell is that?
[power going off, music cutting off, other voices rising in panic] Who did that? Turn the lights back on! It’s not funny! Someone—
[a scream, foot falls as everyone starts running]
Glasses!
Is that you? Oh, thank god. No, no, I don’t think that’s a prank…
[another muffled scream]
Come on!
Don’t let go of my hand. I think there was a closet over here…
[horror sounds (I’m so sorry audio creator)]
[opening the closet door and then closing it, muffling the sounds even more]
Shhh… It’s okay.
[breathing, sharp inhale]
[heavy footsteps walking slowly by outside, floorboards creaking, standing there, killer breathing hard in his mask, dramatic pause, walking away]
[exhale, still whispering] I think he left. It’s okay. We’re okay. We’ll just wait here until the police show up.
[nervous whisper laugh] I guess I did manage to get you in a closet even without spinning the bottle…
Did you see him through the crack in the door? Yeah. Yeah, he was huge. And that mask? What the fuck was that about? Did you recognize him?
I don’t know, glasses. I feel like if we knew a guy that size, we could recognize his build even with the mask on. There can’t be that many of them lumbering around campus…
What? No, I don’t smell anything… Oh shit.
Yeah, that’s smoke…
[muffled fire sounds]
[coughing] I don’t know. He could have started it, or it could just be a candle that got knocked over… Either way we need to get out of here.
We can’t just sit here and burn. Even if he’s waiting, we have to make a run for it.
Here. [keys jangling] Hang onto these. We’re going to bolt for my car. I parked along the woods, near the footpath.
You’re holding the keys in case… In case you get there first, glasses. Unlock the car, get in, lock it, and drive.
[laughed a little] I know you don’t have your license, but I know you can do it.
If a cop materializes just to arrest you, then at least you’ll be safe, right?
Right.
[coughing, fire crackling] No, if you get to the car first, don’t wait for me. I’m faster than you. If I’m not with you… Just don’t wait for me, okay? I’ll be there or I’ll find another way. He’s probably moved on by now anyway.
You can do this. You are the smartest, strongest person that I know. Just run and don’t look back.
Okay…
Three.
Two.
One.
[throwing open the door and running, fire sounds, footfalls, another door, muffled fire and the sound of the night] Go. Gogogo!
Keep going! I’m right behind you!
[running, gravel]
You see the car?
Yeah, just—
[reaching the car, fumbling the keys and opening the door]
[stops, silence]
[night sounds, muffled fire sounds, far away sirens, his pained groan somewhere close by]
[popping the trunk, gravel steps, pulling something metal from the trunk]
[speaker panting, fighting with the slasher]
[injured, surprised] Glasses? What are you—
No! Don’t come back. Just run!
[thwap as glasses hits the slasher]
Oh shit. Hell yes, hit him again!
[another thwap and someone thudding down]
[speaker panting, struggling to his feet, sirens getting closer]
You came back for me…
[coughing laugh] I think this is a little above and beyond for study buddies, glasses.
I got stabbed in the side trying to save you and you came back and fought a serial killer with my baseball bat, I think you can admit we’re more than just partners for the final.
[fire sounds. sirens]
Does this mean I get to move back into your dorm room?
[smiling] Yes, you can keep the bat.
[pained laughs] And you were right about the party being a bad idea… and a fire hazard.
[fire crackling, house falling apart sounds, cop cars skidding to a stop on the gravel]
Oh shit… Glasses… Where did he go?
He was right there. I didn’t even hear him get up.
Yeah, let’s get out of here. I think I might need that ambulance.
[think Halloween theme song fade out]

Authors Note: I imagined this story as a meet cute going on in the background of a college campus slasher flick. In my head, the killer is primarily terrorizing someone else on campus and if it were a movie, Glasses and Dash would be background characters. When the killer vanishes at the end, he's probably loping off through the woods after his final girl to have that last battle before the credits roll.
And do I feel like an asshole for leaving instructions like "horror sounds" and "think Halloween theme song fade out"? Yes. I do.
Does Jouska somehow make that magic happen anyway? Yes, he does!
