Brand spanking new muse, voicetesting so hard

[loveandlanguish]

I must say, dear lady, you've had some messed up character ideas in your day, but this might take the cake. Seriously, I'm considering calling your therapist right now on your behalf, because this is just not healthy.

What, you don't have a therapist? Ah, that'd be your problem there.



Not that I'm trying to change your mind for you or anything, because so far all the ideas you've had about where to send me are brilliant. Lots of people things to do. Mortals to muck about with. A wife to avoid. All my favourite pastimes, really.


All I'm saying is, I'm pretty weird. As far as character ideas go. Not complaining, just putting it out there. Admitting you have a problem is the first step blah blah everything and all that.

Now tell me more about these 'sex games'...



Sincerely,

O. Baron

It's always so amusing how you try to wrap your little heads around the idea.

[just_displaced]

Should I be insulted by that comment? I mean, it's kind of true, people are pretty stupid, so maybe I shouldn't take offense.

[loveandlanguish]

It's not really your faults, you only have such a little tiny amount of time to live for, it's hard to get anything done, let alone grapple with concepts outside of your scope of reality.

[just_displaced]

It's nice of you not to blame all of us for being complete idiots. On the other hand, I don't know if I'd want to be immortal, either. Are you immortal?

[loveandlanguish]

It'd be very inefficient to be a king if you weren't. Then you'd only be king the time you're alive and what's even the point of that.

[just_displaced]

Well, I mean, that's what people do.

... which I guess is probably a point against it, actually. Since people mostly do stupid stuff.

[loveandlanguish]

Makes sense to me!

We haven't been formally introduced yet, though, have we? Oliver Baron.

[just_displaced]

Michael Ginsberg. Just Ginsberg, though. That works better.

What should I call you? Oliver? Baron? King of the Beards? What's your preference?

[loveandlanguish]

Oliver works just fine. I don't usually pull rank on the mortals.

[just_displaced]

That's... magnanimous of you. Is that the right word? Sounds right.

[loveandlanguish]

It fits the context, yes.

So what do you think? I believe I have an open slot in my henchmen category if you're interested.

[just_displaced]

That's a really nice offer, and believe me, I'd consider it, but I'm not really the henchman type, and I already have a pretty good job. Maybe not as exciting as being a henchman, but it's something.

[loveandlanguish]

That's understandable. I don't really give my followers much to do these days, to be honest. Mostly they just pick up my dry cleaning or order takeout.

[just_displaced]

Yeah, see, I manage to avoid doing that for my current boss. Well, mostly. I still order a lot of takeout. I'm not sure how that happens. Someone's always hungry. Probably because they're always stoned.

[loveandlanguish]

You really can't have the one without the other, can you?

[just_displaced]

I don't know. I don't really get stoned.

[loveandlanguish]

Probably the smarter choice. You only have so many brain cells, after all.

[just_displaced]

Yeah, and I'd like to keep the couple brain cells I do have. I know not everyone feels the same way.

[loveandlanguish]

Some people find more enjoyment in the destruction of them. It really is a joy to behold.

[Just don't ask him how magic mushrooms came to be. It was a long and boring night, okay.]

[just_displaced]

I mean, I can't disagree with that. People getting high can be pretty funny to watch. Except when they start doing really stupid stuff. Because then if you're the only sober one in the room, you have to stop them.

[loveandlanguish]

Why would you ever do a thing like that?

[just_displaced]

Well, I don't, if it's just minor stupid stuff. But when it's the kind of stupid stuff that could endanger their lives, I feel like I've got a responsibility to prevent them from falling out the window, or something.

[loveandlanguish]

But that's just when things start becoming interesting.

[just_displaced]

Falling out the window usually results in death or serious injury, though. And I don't really find that interesting. I mean, maybe it's interesting, but it's not entertaining.

[loveandlanguish]

You mortals are so squeamish. You must learn to loosen up a little.
