Voice test for Terminal Tokyo, canon is Mononoke

[blatantlies]

So you intend to spirit me to a place where mononoke do not exist. Is there some reason behind this? Or are you simply amusing yourself by preventing me from carrying out my job?

[A long pause.]

...I suppose it does not matter. You will do what you wish, and I shall cope... as best I can.

[He's still pretty clearly not pleased though.]

Comments

[happiestberry]

It's really not that bad of a place.

[blatantlies]

The state of the place matters little to me.

[He's a bit of a workaholic.]

[happiestberry]

You mean you aren;t even a little bit curious?

[blatantlies]

The world and creatures do hold some interest, but not enough- [a beat] -to make up for what will be taken from me.

[How do you explain to a human what it's like to suddenly have neither powers nor the constant companion he shares a body with...? Or for that matter, be in a world without the beings he quite literally should cease to exist in the complete absence of?]

[happiestberry]

Is it taking away important things to you?

[blatantlies]

It is. Among them, my oldest companion.

[He probably could elaborate more, but that's probably a bit much to expect from a guy who's never revealed his own name.]

[happiestberry]

That must be hard for you then. I feel pretty gloomy myself because none of my friends or family are there.

[blatantlies]

It shall be difficult, yes. But I shall have to manage without my other half.

[happiestberry]

You're being separated from your love?! That's terrible!

[blatantlies]

Love...? Hm.

[He could clear up the confusion right now, but that wouldn't be any fun, would it?]

He and I certainly do share a close relationship.

[happiestberry]

I bet he will miss you a whole lot too!

This thread is cracking me up. XD

[blatantlies]

I'm certain he will. [Provided that his Other won't simply vanish when he's spirited away. That would be unfortunate.]

ffff good B)

[happiestberry]

Don't you worry! You're such a catch that he'd never think of leaving you!

[blatantlies]

A kind thing to say to a simple peddler.

[happiestberry]

You seem like a very nice person. Why wouldn't I be kind to you?

[blatantlies]

[When compared to beings actively trying to take vengeance against their target and anything in the way or said targets of vengeance, he suppose that he is comparatively nice.]

I suppose I have just grown used to dealing with people... who are a bit too involved in their own affairs to pay me mind.

[happiestberry]

That's just sad...

[blatantlies]

Ah, but it affords a measure of invisibility that is quite useful. Most neglect to watch what information passes their lips around those of low class.

[Who thinks twice about discussing sensitive information in front of the janitor or their waitress, after all?]

[happiestberry]

Are you like a secret agent or something?

[blatantlies]

I'm just a simple medicine peddler.

[happiestberry]

A medicine peddler that enjoys gossip?

[blatantlies]

Not gossip - the information that can be gained from listening to others speak.

[happiestberry]

Isn't that the same thing though?

eee! I'm really happy to see someone playing Medicine Seller! c: Good luck!

[verytasty]

[ A somewhat sleepy looking boy seems torn between surprise an curiosity. ]

There's ... a place without mononoke?

He had me at episode one, hahahaha. Great to see a Natsume player as well. c:

[blatantlies]

[Hm? Now this is an odd little human.]

So it would seem. Many in fact, if my Mundane is being truthful.
