voice testing. completely homeless, but maybe searching.

[vengier]

Mundane? Is that what I'm supposed to call you? How ridiculous.

Sir, while I will say I appreciate you not currently considering sending me to one of those deplorable places you already have the poor fools in your head currently residing in, it would be best if you decided not to send me anywhere but back home. I don't take well to being kidnapped and I don't think the outcome will be what you're hoping for.

I don't have time for your silly games.

None of us have time for their silly games, and yet here we all are. At their beck and call.

[vengier]

I'm at no one's beck and call. If I didn't want to speak, I wouldn't, no matter what he wanted from me.

[john_drake]

Do you really think you have that much control here?

[vengier]

Absolutely positive. [ Or at least sort of positive.

Maybe not positive at all. ]

[john_drake]

A confident young man. That's always good to see.

[perceptiveness]

I wish you the best of luck with that. If you figure out the secret, tell me okay?

[vengier]

A lack of it would be too dangerous in most social circles, I would think. I hope it's not so uncommon.

[vengier]

I'm sure it can be accomplished if you just put your foot down about it. And a lady should certainly have more tricks up their sleeves than even I would in order to get what they want.

[perceptiveness]

I've put my foot down about a lot of things and I'm still stuck wearing a collar on some stupid island. You'd think a giant scythe would have a bigger fear factor, but nooooooo...

[vengier]

Giant scythe? [ He can't help but scrunch his nose a bit. ] You aren't a reaper, are you? [ Here he thought Grell was the most feminine reaper there was out there. ]

[perceptiveness]

Huh? [blink blink, he seems too familiar with it.] No, I just work for him.

Because I'm voice testing too

[worstbutler]

Deplorable places? Oh do tell! The more wicked the place, the more ripe and sweet the souls to reap, little one.

[vengier]

[ Work for him? There's a look on his face that's rather unreadable, the memories of Madame Red coming to his mind. The last person he'd known to work for a reaper. ]

... You should be careful of that. It's something they usually frown upon.

[perceptiveness]

It's my job. Nothing at all to be ashamed of. Besides, it's not like I'm off collecting pure souls. That's really the only way to get in trouble.

I screamed, but I swear it was a happy one.

[vengier]

As if I would speak of such places aloud. I'm sure anyone who has you in their head would know all the disgusting "homes" by heart.

[vengier]

You're human. You shouldn't be collecting souls at all. They're not yours to take.

[perceptiveness]

The Shinigami says otherwise where I come from. I'm trained in putting a stop to Kishins, and protecting human souls.

I'm a horrid person reviving an old muse

[worstbutler]

Ohhh!

[Have an entirely improper sigh, followed by a stiffening of the reaper's form]

I mean, I'm quite sure I have no idea what you're referring to, young man.

[vengier]

... Kishins?

[perceptiveness]

Uhhh. [She's getting used to this at least.] Corrupted souls that have taken to eating other human souls to gain strength and power.

Or a wonderful one.

[vengier]

[ He gives an unamused snort, rolling his eyes slightly. ]

I'm sure you don't.

[vengier]

[ ..... oh. ]

Like demons.

[perceptiveness]

Yeah, I've heard them called that before. They were human once though. Anyone when one collects too many souls they become able to take over the world to put it simply, or to become a full fledged kishin. It's my job to prevent that from happening.

Come let me love you o/

[worstbutler]

[Grell will just ignore that snort for now. For now]

A lady such as myself could never know such things.

[At least he's a convincing liar]

Just like one would expect a young man of your station to be ignorant of such going-ons.

[vengier]

I see.

[ There's a small, almost amused smile that comes to his face at that. He clears his throat slightly. ]

Perhaps I have an... acquaintance you should meet sometime, then.
