Canon is space vampires in robots aka Valvrave the Liberator: voice test

As expected, you merely demand without allowances. Any negotiation attempts between us shall prove to be futile. [To his displeasure] Even if the nature of our contract does not favor me, at least consider to practice my voice more often and study the basics of war strategy to have a solid grasp on my characterization. My current evaluation may be of your interest:

Experience: E.
Icons: C [note: consider more variety of expression in your choices].
Source Knowledge: B+.
Extra Knowledge [German, Military Tactics, Geopolitics]: D.
Voice: Full judgment pending.

Given your current low proficiency, you should delay any serious applications. Fleetingness. Procrastination. Lack of Discipline. This leads me to believe I would not need to worry about lasting prisons that would prove a hurdle to my plans.

Sure they got all that? 'Cause I stopped paying attention to your bullshit right around "does not favor me."
beyourarmy: (Eh?)

[personal profile] beyourarmy 2014-01-11 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
It's more likely to get dismissed.

Mine doesn't give a damn about anything I say.

...I wouldn't have thought of any of that. She did that stuff on her own.

[personal profile] spears_zombies 2013-12-31 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
...There's no contract in this at all, you realize.

[personal profile] spears_zombies 2013-12-31 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
There's nothing professional about this.

[personal profile] spelucky 2013-12-31 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[A light chuckle.] Those are some pretty strict standards.

zerohesitance: (hm?)

[personal profile] zerohesitance 2013-12-31 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
That's a pretty thorough assessment.
zerohesitance: (chillin like a not-villain)

[personal profile] zerohesitance 2013-12-31 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
Well if it's any consolation, my mun's known yours for a little while. She tends to do a pretty good job as far as voice goes.
zerohesitance: (here i come!)

[personal profile] zerohesitance 2013-12-31 10:07 am (UTC)(link)
In my experience around here, most places tend to have time stop in our own worlds. I'd rather be home fighting Mavericks, but at least I'm not missing anything while my mun's sending me somewhere.
zerohesitance: (it never ends...)

[personal profile] zerohesitance 2013-12-31 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well there's only one way to find out, right?

[ she can't help but smile fondly; how very like him to treat this as a contract. ]

It is good to see you again, Michael. Though don't you think you're being a bit too hard on her?

ahh i'm glad you didn't mind me tagging you!! i'm so happy to see someone playing l-elf!

[ due to the magic of d_m, she's post-death yet still has her memories, so she knows what that look, that pause means. she's hurt him by coming here, and guilt wells up inside her at that realization. since he seemed to be his usual self, she thought he had come to terms with her passing, but she should have known better — a wound like that is not so easily healed, especially not for one with such a tender heart as him.

she can sense that there's more he wishes to say to her, but since he has not yet broached the subject, she doesn't say anything about it, instead trying to keep a light tone as she replies. ]


I just hope she doesn't feel overwhelmed by the expectations you've set.

sdlfk yay! ♥♥

[ he knows about the magius, about her. her eyes widen a bit at that, but it isn't too much of a shock — she had guessed that haruto would probably tell him. and he deserved to know, though she wishes that she had been able to tell him herself.

his next words come as much more of surprise, however, and she looks up at him with uncertainty. he still loves her, even knowing what she is? the thought fills her with warmth, but she tries to contain it and not to let it show on her face. it seems too good to be true, and that is why she must make sure. ]


But... [ lieselotte pauses and inhales deeply, looking down at her hands before continuing. first things first. ] I am sorry for not telling you, and also for misleading you. ... I was so very happy when you said you loved me, and to hear you say that you still feel that way brings me much joy. But are you sure?

This body is not mine by right. I possessed it after consuming the life of this girl, just as I consumed numerous other humans in the past. [ her voice begins to waver as she speaks, but she steadies herself, her hands now squeezing the fabric of her garments. remembering the lives she's taken is painful for her, but she cannot deny or undo it, and she owes it to l-elf to be completely honest with him. ] I do not have a true body at all, and I have lived much longer than you through the bodies of humans I took over. I am responsible for many deaths. [ she raises her head to meet his eyes and asks him again in a quieter voice. ] Are you truly sure you can love one such as me?

Michael... [ as his words wash over her, her conversation with haruto springs to mind, and how he asked her not to give up on her relationship with l-elf, on l-elf's feelings for her. he was right, she thinks now, her expression easing as she looks up at the young man before her. even with everything she's just told him, he doesn't seem dissuaded at all. although she thinks that the magius's preying on humans (shattering their memories, stealing their life energy and, in the case of jacking, even their identity) is more cruel than anything he has done, she's grateful that he does not reject her.

his hands around hers may be capable of killing, but they are also a comfort to her, and when he starts to lace their fingers together she meets him halfway and holds tight. ]
I would never laugh at you. Please, don't say you are unworthy of love. I— [ here she pauses, biting her lip gently, for a moment unsure of how to best express herself. this talk of love is still so foreign to her, but she pushes herself to speak all the same.

this was her last regret, something she only truly realized moments before her death. ]
Though I admit that I do not fully understand this emotion... I have grown to care for you deeply. Your life is very precious to me, and I wish for you to be safe, always. As you said before, we have only met a few times, and our conversations have been brief, but they are my most cherished memories.

[ she disentangles one of her hands from their joined grasp and softly places it against his cheek, then guides his head back to meet her gaze. her lips curve upward in a sad but gentle smile as she speaks again. ] Thank you, Michael. To live alongside you... it would have been like a dream.

[ as she sees him begin to smile, her own smile grows, changing into one of genuine happiness. it's strange how much lighter she feels all of a sudden now that she's been able to voice her feelings, but she supposes this must be another effect of love. it can inflict great pain, but it can also bring great joy; what a mysterious emotion. before she met him, she would have had trouble believing she could feel this way, and she laughs sheepishly when he voices his surprise. ]

Truthfully, not long ago, neither did I. Or rather, I didn't think it was possible for me... a Magius. But when I spoke to Haruto Tokishima, I began to think differently. He was very adamant that I not see it as impossible for you and I to be in love. [ she isn't sure if haruto let him in on that part of their chat or not, but she wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't mentioned it; he seemed like a modest boy.

lieselotte appreciates l-elf leaning down for her, and she lightly caresses his face before pulling away to hold his hand again. ]
Yes... that's true. We can talk as much as we like in this place. [ as long as their muns are willing, at least. still, it's exciting to think that they can spend time together without soldiers coming after either of them, that for once they can have peaceful moments, just the two of them. ]

[personal profile] halbieren 2014-01-05 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ even though it was only for a moment, she notices his reaction to haruto's name, and concern fills her eyes as she looks up at him. had something happened? she wonders if she made a mistake bringing him up — she hadn't meant to trigger any sad memories. and though he's smiling when he speaks again, the fact that he uses past tense seems to confirm her worries. ]

Was? [ then... as she puts the pieces together, sorrow spreads across her face. sorrow for haruto, who was still so young, but also for l-elf; realizing that he had to suffer not just her death but haruto's as well makes her heart ache. ] Oh, Michael. I'm so sorry.

[personal profile] halbieren 2014-01-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
I see... he was 'the boy who fought the world' until the end, then. [ if only the people who dubbed him that could have known how accurate that moniker would end up being... it's tragic indeed. l-elf's sadness is what troubles her the most, however, and when she hears how his voice trembles she opens her mouth as if to say something, wanting to console him, though she doesn't know what to say.

what he says next gives her pause — he's talking about her dream for her race and humanity, her wish for the two species to find peace together. since he knew about her and the magius, it follows that he would know about that too, but she's still surprised to hear him mention it. her mind flashes back to their second meeting, the two of them huddled against an overturned car, surrounded by snow and fallen soldiers. ]
You're going to create a path?

[personal profile] halbieren 2014-01-09 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ his lips are soft against her hand, and though this gesture is new to her, she can sense the affection behind it, and it helps her to settle her thoughts. she never expected him to pick up her ambition, but it makes her happy that he's come to share her ideals. she hopes that he'll be able to succeed where she could not — he who was able to accept her as a magius and even love her; he more than anyone could surely create a bright future for both of their races. and though a part of her wishes she could have been there to see it, the path she wished to make being realized at last, ultimately it is enough to know that her dream is not hers alone anymore, that it lives on in him and the other residents of module 77. ]

I have faith in you. And I'm grateful that you're willing to give my people this chance. [ one thing does concern her, however. the council won't sit idly by and watch this happen, she learned that ten years ago, and as far as she's aware, they're still quite powerful. ] I must warn you, though, there are those among the Magius who will try to stop you. Have you been told about the Council?

[personal profile] halbieren 2014-01-12 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ though she should be relived to hear of the council's defeat, she finds herself having mixed feelings about it. now they can't lie to the world anymore or pose a threat to the country l-elf is creating, and without the council, the other magius may become more open to the idea of coexisting. but she can't help but wish things had turned out differently. she's probably being naive; she wasn't able to convince them before, and truthfully, she doubts she would have had much luck even if she had lived and appealed to them again. none of the members of the council had any wish to change their ways, and neither did they see a problem with their actions. in the end, removing them was most likely the only way to ensure a better future.

though she knows that, she still feels a bit sad. despite thinking her a traitor, despite having the power to remove all of her runes and kill her if they wanted, the council had allowed her to live. they really did want to protect their race, and they must have thought that what they were doing was the best way to go about that. if only she could have gotten them to understand her point of view, she thinks again, sighing softly to herself. but what's done is done, and she composes herself, not wishing to worry l-elf anymore. humanity was told the truth about the way their world was run, just as she had hoped would happen someday, and the council no longer stands in the way of peace between the two species. ]


That is good news. You've accomplished so much... it must have been a truly difficult fight. [ the council had so much influence over the world's leaders and media; she can only imagine what an uphill battle it was for him and the others who fought with him to get the facts out there. ] I'm glad you were successful.

[ she offers him a small smile, but it fades at the mention of cain, and she stiffens slightly though she tries to hide it. ] He was your—? [ that comes as a rather big surprise to her. though she knew both were in the military, she didn't know what kind of positions they held, and she would never have thought cain had been an instructor. this information unsettles her a bit; she has not known cain to be a kind man, and she can't see him being a kind teacher, either. she looks up at l-elf uncertainly, wondering what training under cain had been like for him. ] No, I didn't know that. [ she pauses. ] ... What did you think of him?
