Kallisti!

Pitch #4: Kallisti!

"CONGRATULATIONS, MORTAL! YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO BE THE MORTAL VESSEL OF MY INCREDIBLE POWER! BE OVERJOYED, AND BASK IN THE GLOW OF THE GODDESS OF CHAOS!"

"Okay, first, what the fuck. Second, who the hell are you? Third, what the fuck. Fourth, how did you get into my apartment? Fifth, WHAT. THE. FUCK."

Kallisti! is the story of a young woman and her new roommate, the Goddess of Chaos, Eris Discordia.

You see, one day, the Goddess got Bored, and said unto Herself, "Hey, why don't I make a superhero? All the cool deities are doing that, right?" And so She searched the world for twenty three minutes, before finding a mortal vessel who was good enough. "She'll do, I guess," spake Eris.

Belinda was a relatively ordinary young woman, working at a cool little record store that's probably about five minutes from shutting down at any given time, living in a tiny apartment with a deranged roommate. And then, Eris found her, and decided to grant her powers beyond those of mere mortals. Because why not?

"So, here's the list of powers you're getting, here:

Kicking
Ass
Levitation
Light stuff
Invisibility to pigeons
Strength
Total awesomeness
Invoking chaos."

"Wait... Do I get the power of kicking ass, or the separate powers of kicking and ass? I'm not sure I want the power of ass."

And so, by invoking the power word KALLISTI, she becomes the champion of chaos and good, bringing awesome justice to orderly evildoers everywhere. In theory.

Cast:

Belinda/Kallisti!: Young, poor, and bored. Initially pretty reluctant to take Eris up on her offer, but eventually grows to like being a superhero.

Eris: A divine maniac. Tries to be a wise mentor, but ends up sounding more like a cartoon character most of the time. Her enthusiasm knows no bounds.

Ferret: Belinda's untidy roommate. Makes very rare appearances, speaks even more rarely.

Mr. G. Face: Eris' arch-nemesis, who seeks to cover the whole world in stultifying Order. Not a nice dude.
