very tentative voicetesting

[fatumvivus]

Ah, Mun-chan! I must say that this is a very pleasant surprise! What with everything else happening for you, and all the other voices in here waiting for attention... I didn't expect you to pick me.

I'm very lucky, to have such a sweet, pretty girl wanting to write for me!

[Oh my god no Ryoji stop so help me I will turn this post around-]

But you are! I won't say lies to satisfy your insecurity, but if you prefer me quiet I will shush. I'm plenty happy letting everyone else in here have the spotlight.

Hm hm, you say you'll be quiet, but maybe your mun's tuning into you more than she's tuning into everyone else, so you don't really have a choice in that respect~

[fatumvivus]

T... Turning into me! For her sake I certainly hope not!

[Chuckle]

I'm a bit of an experiment, really. There isn't a strong connection for us yet.

[suboceanic]

[Death and doom and darkness senses tingling!]

Hee~ Munny says yours does this kinda thing every time! Keep it up!

[fatumvivus]

Your mun would be right! She says this time is even worse, though, because her friend has such a strong muse for me.

It's a lot to live up to! And she doesn't want to step on her friend's toes.

[Oh no why does she have senses for that shhhh it's a secret]

What's your name, miss?

[suboceanic]

[It might have something to do with the scythe strapped to her back. Or maybe the aura of similar she's radiating.]

Heeheehee~ She'll be fine! Life's too short to take too seriously, yeah? [She laughs loudly.]

I'm May of Hoenn!

[fatumvivus]

[Oh, erm. He didn't notice that at first... ]

She can be a little too serious sometimes, true. Life's definitely too short to not stop and enjoy every part of it.

May, that's a lovely name. I'm Ryoji, if you hadn't already been told.

Um... would it be rude of me to ask about that scythe?

[He probably just... shouldn't. Huh?]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Insert exhausted, good-natured sigh here. So many insecure muns, so little time.]

They never listen when all you're doing is telling the truth, it seems. All these lovely ladies just can't take a compliment!

[...And no, he's not commenting on the 'talking to himself' issue. This has happened a few times by now. As long as you're not a bad end version of him, it's cool.]

[suboceanic]

[People are usually too distracted by how fluffing happy she is.]

Exactly! I mean, you're gonna die anyway, so enjoy the time you've got~ Life's a party. No excuses for not having fun!

This thing? Haha! It's just my weapon. I'm a Dark Knight, we use the big, scary weapons, you know?

[fatumvivus]

[What are they going to do with their silly muns?]

I'm sure they listen sometimes! [...] Maybe not very often, and especially not with compliments.

It's a sad time we live in where you can't convince a girl she's pretty.

[Eh, he sort of expected it. Once you've fallen in love with someone you sort of... lived inside... everything else gets less weird from there.]

[fatumvivus]

[It's... pretty distracting. She's more hyper than Minako-chan! He's a little overwhelmed to be honest.]

I'm sorry May-chan, I don't know what a Dark Knight is?

[suboceanic]

[Yeah, she does that.]

Wow, really really? That's like, wayyyy basic stuff in my world!

[The brightest smile yet.] Everyone knows to never trust a Dark Knight!

[fatumvivus]

[. . .]

Why not?

[myteenagedivalife]

A happy experiment?

Mun-chama wants you to know that she wishes yours good luck! Apparently there will be lots of tears involved with being a muse like yours...?

I don't really get it, but I hope they're tears of joy!

[suboceanic]

'Cause we're dangerous, why else?

[She'll go ahead and explain.]

Nobody trusts a Dark Knight 'cause most of the biggest baddies of history are DKs that went Darkside. We lose control and don't care about anything but power! We turn on our friends and get up to all kinds of evil, and Dark Knights always have some nefarious plot. We murder Skitties and kick Poochyena, we're the worst of the worst!

That's the rep, anyway. [Reputation sucks.]

[fatumvivus]

[Here comes the chuckle again.] An interesting experiment. Potentially a fun experiment.

[Happiness doesn't come easy for Ryoji's. Or for mun's, but he doesn't want to upset this sweet girl.]

Tell her that her wishes are appreciated. Mun has... experience with muses like me already.

[He looks sideways at the Minako, Minato and Fuuka he shares headspace with.]

There may be some tears of joy sometimes.

[fatumvivus]

Ah, of course. How silly of me.

[But then the real explanation. Um. Oh. Well. He doesn't know what a Poochyena or a Skitties is but.]

Well you don't seem so nefarious to me!

But... I can understand the bad rep thing. [Nobody likes the Reaper.]

[suboceanic]

Only 'cause I know better than to get too attached to anything! People're always gonna think I'm bad just 'cause I'm a DK. It's how it always has been, and how it always will be!

I've just gotten real good at having fun. [She kind of has to. Alone.]

[myteenagedivalife]

Fun is good, for you, I mean! I know Mun-chamas tend to have bad things in their minds when it comes to hurting their muses...

But always remember that even if you mun wants you to hurt, there are muses like us who will help!

[ she's earnest, too! ]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Same thing they do with all girls, Ryoji... take over the world Pinch their cheeks and remind them they're beautiful!]

Very rarely, unfortunately. I think if my mun listened to me, I wouldn't have died so many times.

[What is he on, his...eighth or ninth death now?]

It's truly a travesty. At least you're able to handle it when I remind you that you really are handsome. I have to know where you got that scarf!

[He laughs at his own goofy joke, even though his mun's groaning and shaking her head.]

[fatumvivus]

That... sounds so sad, when you put it that way...

[B-but people! Ryoji loves people!]

Always is a strange word... [Oops he's getting distracted.]

[fatumvivus]

You're a very sweet girl!

[But he wants to help you!]

Goodness I've lost my manners, I don't even know your name! I'm Ryoji.

[fatumvivus]

[Ah, of course Ryoji! A flawless plan!]

Yeah that's probably true... [Sorry twinbro.]

[Chuckle] Oh indeed! Not half so handsome as you, sir! And I shall, only if you tell me where you got those bracers!

[What a pair of dorks. ]

[notsogrimreaper]

[How kind of you to say so! He was very proud of it.

And hey, no worries dude. He has a really hot girlfriend to make up for it.]

Well, we’ll have to exchange secrets soon enough, huh? Maybe bond over coffee?

[Ryoji no neither of you needs more Pheromone Coffee.]

[fatumvivus]

[Oh, good! He looks forward to hearing all about her~]

I absolutely agree! Coffee, food, movies, the whole package deal, whatever you want!

[Ryoji stop you sound like you're taking yourself on a date.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[He’d be happy to tell you! He’s quite proud of her. Such a strong princess, with such a fiery personality~]

Coffee would be great for now. You don’t need to splurge too much on the first date!

[Oh gosh, now they’re both acknowledging it. Dorks.]

[fatumvivus]

[He shall hang on every word, enraptured by the tale of this lovely lady~]

Coffee it is then! Shall we?

[Aaaand he's offering his arm to lead the other.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji you dork…. Not that this Ryoji isn’t just as dorky. He takes the arm with a charming smile.]

Lead the way, prince~

[fatumvivus]

[As evidenced with him playing along. Ryoji beams at the clone hanging off his arm and winks.]

I shall take you on a grand adventure, young sir!

[A grand adventure to some coffee shop expy]

[notsogrimreaper]

Oh? A grand adventure? Then that must make you a very grand and charming prince~ Oh, or maybe a knight! What do you think?

[fatumvivus]

Of course! Only the grandest and most charming for the handsomest of princes~ Surely you are a prince?

If you are, I must be your devoted knight!

[notsogrimreaper]

Oh, of course. Even a prince needs a proper champion. Do you think you’re brave enough to be mine, Sir Ryoji?

[fatumvivus]

Just so! And I hope to prove my worth and bravery to my gentle prince! What trials would you have me face?

[notsogrimreaper]

What trials, huh? Well, if I was a regular prince, I’d ask you to defeat a dragon or something… but that just seems unnecessary. The only trial you’ll have to face with me is going out on a date… are you brave enough for something like that?
