Oh Dear Me (voice test)

[blessedwithsorrow]

Child, It Is Far Past Your Bedtime, Why Are You Awake And Creating New Journals Instead Of Sleeping? I Know That Your Friends Are Not In Bed Right Now, But That Is No Reason To Neglect Your Own Needs.

Still, I Suppose That A Bit Of Fun Never Hurt Anyone.

Hello.

[jasmineofthewest]

I think you and I know perfectly well the reason she's still awake.

[Beat.]

It's not you she really wants, she's interested in someone blonder and far less attractive.

[blessedwithsorrow]

Oh, Now If That Were The Case I Doubt She Would Have Gone To The Trouble Of Tagging Anything.

_[Beat.]

You Flatter Me, Sir. I Do Not Believe We Have Met.

[jasmineofthewest]

Hmmm, fair enough, yes.

[He offers her a smile.]

It's no attempt at flattery, I'm telling the truth. And I don't believe we have; my name is Iroh. And I am sure your name is just as beautiful as you are yourself.

Oh right this is action, I shouldn't be using the text tags. Should I? Idfk.

[blessedwithsorrow]

She Is, However, Procrastinating On A Presentation That She Really Should Be Focusing On.

<sub>[Sshhh, Dolorosa, jeez, do you have to mother everyone?]

[She smiles back with a little nod, although it's a little suspicious. She's also never seen anyone who looks quite like this strange little old man before.]</sub>

My Given Name Is Madona. Most, However, Refer To My Preferred Designation: The Dolorosa.

You can keep using the quirk!

[jasmineofthewest]

Oh, that isn't good. Shame on her! Then again, all work and no play is incredibly dull.

Oh, I was certainly right, that is a lovely name!

[He is oblivious to any suspicion. Or else pretending to be.]

Good, Because I Need To Practice With It

[blessedwithsorrow]

I Believe You Certainly Are A Flatterer, Mister Iroh.

_{[Well, he seems harmless, anyway.]}

[jasmineofthewest]

Certainly not! If I were merely trying to flatter you, would I go as far as to invite you to have tea with me?

[blessedwithsorrow]

Oh, My. Well In That Case, It Would Be My Pleasure To Join You For Tea, Mister Iroh.

[jasmineofthewest]

[Oh. Oh gosh. Well.]

Oh, wonderful! You certainly look like one who can truly appreciate tea, I must say.

[blessedwithsorrow]

_{[He sounds so surprised! That gets a warm chuckle out of her.]}

Tea And Good Company Are Some Of The Simplest Pleasures In Life.

[nosigntospeakof]

[O...h. There are a lot of feelings going on right now. All the feelings, all of them.

The strongest of them being the overwhelming urge to give his beloved guardian the biggest hug of her life.]

[blessedwithsorrow]

<sub>[Baby boy come here to Mother, she will hug you like her life depends on it!]

[And also cry, not a little bit. She's missed her dear son even more than he could possibly miss her.]</sub>

[nosigntospeakof]

[There are so many words running through his mind, so many things he could say, wants to say. Instead he buries his face in her hair just like he did as a wriggler and murmurs the only word his silver tongue can seem to form, his voice thick with emotion.]

Hello.

[blessedwithsorrow]

_{[She smiles tearfully and gently cradles the back of his head with her hand, just as she did when he was young, holding him close and never planning on letting go again. She laughs a little at his greeting, petting his wild hair soothingly and turning to kiss his cheek.]}

Hello, My Son.

_{[Her voice catches, as she quietly adds:]}

I've Missed You.

[nosigntospeakof]

[He sniffs.]

I'VE MISSED YOU TOO.

SO MUCH.

[blessedwithsorrow]

<sub>[Sshoosh, darling boy, shoosh...]

[...she clings to him tighter.]</sub>

I Thought That I Would Never See You Again...

[nosigntospeakof]

I'M SORRY.

I'M SO, SO SORRY.

[blessedwithsorrow]

No, My Child, No, Do Not Ever Be Sorry.

I'm Just So Thankful To See You...

<3

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

[Oh. Oh good. But he might need a new pair of pants either way.]

[ragripper]

Well This Is
I Didnt Expect
I Mean
Hello

[blessedwithsorrow]

Oh, It Has Been A While Since I Met Another Jade-Blood.
What Is Your Name, Child?

[caligulas_aquarium]

uh
wwhat the

[blessedwithsorrow]

Yes?
Are You Alright?

[caligulas_aquarium]

is this some kind a wweird time shenanigans thing
are you like an older vversion a kan or somethin
cause if so id be disappointed you dont remember me
but if you do i guess itd just lead to more problems
uh
i guess
wwhat im sayin is wwho are you cause you look familiar
only older

[blessedwithsorrow]

I'm Afraid I Don't Know Who This Kan Is.
But I'm Beginning To Suspect Time Shenanigans Of A Sort, As Well.
My Designation Is The Dolorosa.
Do You Have A Name, Child?

[caligulas_aquarium]

oh so youre not
i admit thats a bit of a fuckin relief but anywway
im eridan

[blessedwithsorrow]

Well, Then It Is A Pleasure To Make Your Acquaintance, Eridan.

[caligulas_aquarium]

see
the troll im thinkin of evven has the same fuckin quirk wwith the wwhole uppercase on the first letter a evvery wword thing goin on
an has the same color too
are you SURE you dont knoww her or somethin

[blessedwithsorrow]

I'm Quite Positive.
Albeit A Little Surprised.
Jade Is Not A Common Blood Color, But Nevertheless I Doubt That There Is Only One Of Us At Any Given Time.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Wait, wait, wait...

He HAS run into Dualscar about three times here already. Maybe this is?]

i think she might be your descendent

[blessedwithsorrow]

_{[Well that's certainly a surprising jump to make.]}

My...Descendant?
Is This Girl A Friend Of Yours, Little One?

[caligulas_aquarium]

maybe
i mean i ran into my ancestor here an he used a pretty similar quirk
looked a lot like me too so its possible right
time shenanigans are at wwork here like no tomorroww plus like you said jade is pretty fuckin rare
so itd make more sense ovver the chances a another jadeblood wwalkin around an you just so happened to nevver meet her before

an uh
you could say that i guess
its complicated
i doubt she considers me a friend anymore

[eightfold]

........
Hi.

[blessedwithsorrow]

_{[...oh your colour she knows.]}

Hello.
