Bodies Don't Sink in the Bayou

Full Script

Loop de Loop

Notes

This script concept was influenced by my experience growing up in south Louisiana. When adding characters, I kept asking myself, "Is this someone I could find in a bayou town?" Beyond that, when creating this script, I found myself gravitating to femme-coded characters. This lead to a powerful town, and if town is powerful, then evil needs to be as well. So I added minions and demons that could more quickly kill powerful roles or definitively muck up information.
