Voice-testing forever...

[heroiclineage]

So... a mere mortal like yourself summons the great Owain from the lands of legendary lore?

[ This was supposed to be a joke, mundane says. Instead now he has an Owain muse. Why this... ]

I see... the souls of many heroes and heroines of untold stories and tales reside within you! You are no ordinary mortal, are you not? To have transcended the planes of reality herself to call for one such as myself--! My blood burns in heroic fervor! I can feel my true power being drawn forth! Come, mundane! We must--

...wait, you don't have any plans for me yet? Not until you've finished studying our grand tales?

[ Blink. Well, there goes his act. Oops. ]

. . . NO MATTER! Your lack of plans shouldn't stop you! There are still many lands in this... roleplay landscape? That beckon to us, like siren calls for heroes of old, whose dirt and rocks breathe memories of battles, wars and memories of ages past...

... okay, that... might have been too dramatic.

BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS! Banish your insecurities to the deepest fires of whatever hell they spawned from, for they hold no power over you now! Onward, mundane! What need do we have for idle talk when the world herself beckons?! Come! Let us extend our legacy into the whole of the multiverse, together--!

[ A pause. ]

We should probably work on your name first, though... "mundane" is too boring! We must think of a new title befitting of a grandiose, omniscient presence as yourself!

... how about "The All-Seeing Vanguard Scribe of Legend?" By the gods, that would be quite catchy...

[ . . . OWAIN PLZ ]

Comments

[snowmaiden]

[ Sneggie listens to to Owain, lips curving upwards in obvious amusement, her hands going to cover her mouth as she stifles her onset of giggles. ]

[heroiclineage]

[ Giggles more like SOUNDS OF UNEASE AND POSSIBLE TERROR FROM A YOUNG MAIDEN AMIRITE ]

What ho--! Who are you, that you appear as if from other elsewhere for naught but bridled laughter--?!

[ OWAIN... PLZ... ]

[snowmaiden]

[ Sneggie lowers her hands shaking her head, still giggling. ] You speak very funny, sir!

[heroiclineage]

This is not meant as mere comedy, miss! This manner of mine, it is how fate has bestowed her hand of destiny upon me! It is but the manner by which legends and lore are born--!

[ All while the mundane is just shaking his head at this ridiculousness... ]

[blatantlies]

It would seem you have a flair for the dramatic.

[Although really, he thinks the boy is overdoing it by... about a mile or so.]

[heroiclineage]

Dramatics? I have no need for such, when fate herself dictates my course and my way of life--!

[ Clearly you've never been in his part of the world, for this is pretty much par for the course for everyone. ]

. . . or that would be true if I had anything better to do at the moment.

[blatantlies]

[If someone dressed in brightly colored clothes and has what looks like theater makeup tattooed on their face thinks you're being overdramatic, that's kind of telling.]

So fate speaks to you and guides your hand, does she?

[This is actually a legitimate question since it's actually a plausible thing that could happen in his world.]

[heroiclineage]

You could say that... my mission is guided by Naga the Divine Dragon, whom we view as a god in my world.

[ His expression becomes more serious. ]

I am but a simple cog in the machination she designed to avert the dark future that awaited... er, awaits my parents.

[nightbaroness]

What a catching name for the mundane! Though perhaps it is a bit long? You cannot spend too much time with words when there is so much to do!

[ She is totally playing along with this ]

[heroiclineage]

Hmmmm... you have a point. It doesn't roll off the tongue so easily, now that I think more of it...

[ Yukiko, please don't encourage him. ]

Tell me! What would you address one such as this "mundane" as?

[nightbaroness]

Hmmm. I haven't really thought about it. Something short though! Short, but mysterious. After all, mundane are quite the mysterious sort aren't they? Behind the scenes as they plan out every move of what should happen next! And many a times it's quite ominous what sort of things they have in store for us!

But let's see... how about the "Omniscient Wordsmith". Though I don't believe that really rolls off the tongue either hmm.

[heroiclineage]

[ Owain's eyes widen in realization as he finds himself nodding in agreement. ]

By the gods, you're right! They could be just as nefarious as they are mysterious! Perhaps they were avatars of Naga from long past? Sent to be the left hand of the Fates themselves? Raised to be a former enemy of the goddess of destiny?! My mind -- it is now spinning with questions as to my mundane's true identity!!!

[ OWAIN STAHP ]

It could work just as well! Though what of "The All-Seeing Author"? It projects a mysterious presence, does it not? Who is this author, whose works are given breath with but a mere stroke of the pen? Are they a force for good, or do they have more nefarious designs in mind...?

what do you mean voice testing forever bro

[hoasen]

[This takes a while because she's translating each line by line. In her head. It's long.]

Good luck on your quest? I am sure you and your mund--...ah, I mean "All-Seeing Vanguard Scribe of Legend" will be fine. I hear that he is skilled.

you know exactly what I mean Amy-tan 8|

[heroiclineage]

Ah, our gratitude is forever yours. I have heard much about his proficiencies in crafting intricate stories and legends, so I have no doubt that he shall be a faithful companion on my journey.

[ You're too kind. :|; ]

Of course, there is the matter of convincing the Scribe of Legend that he is, in fact, as such...

NOMS MOERO 5EVA you can do it.

[hoasen]

[OH OH SHE GOT THIS ONE FAST]

Oh, you're welcome. He is much too humble, it seems. Perhaps you need to ease him into it with [bribes] rewards?

[undyinghope]

"Mundane" should suffice for them, Owain...they've no need for dramatics.

[heroiclineage]

Do they really not need them, Lucina?

[ Owain frowns in thought. ]

They do write about what we do and say much like scribes recording legends, so... I thought it was only fitting...

[undyinghope]

It's doubtful. Mine would probably enjoy them if only because they seem outrageous... [Staring at her snickering mun in the corner there.] ...but that's as far as it goes.

Yours seems content with simpler things.

[blood_and_thunder]

I think it'd be kind of hard to remember a long name like that...

[heroiclineage]

Noire!

... would it be? I will admit, it is rather unwieldy...

[ A pause. ]

What would you suggest, then?

[blood_and_thunder]

Well, to be honest, I don't really like mundanes enough to change their names. They're not exactly nice people...

[nahtscared]

They call themselves "mundane" for a reason, you know. Most of them do this to vicariously live through us, since our lives are so much more interesting than their own.

[Ouch, Nah.]

My point being, giving them one of your fancy names is kind of missing the point. By a wide margin.

[heroiclineage]

Oh, really?

[ Owain blinks, frowning in thought as he considers Nah's words... ]

Well, of course! Who wouldn't want to be us, living lives and creating exploits fit for the tales of legend and lore--?!

[ DOY, OWAIN. You missed the point. Again. ]

That said... perhaps they just do it to not get bored with writing?

[nahtscared]

If they were the type to get bored of writing, would they really be writing for us? I'd think they would find another way to amuse themselves if that were the case.

[mapsincolor]

[Who IS this kid yelling in the corner?!]

Oy! New guy! Some of us are trying to drink in peace!

[It has been a VERY long day, and he's still nursing burns from fighting that lightning demon...]
