dear_mun | voice testing and whatnot

[................OH GOOD GOD.

She just turns away from him. PRETEND SHE DOESN'T SEE HIM!!!]

[WHY SO COLD he didn't even do anything yet. Except, like, greet a classmate with impeccable friendliness. ):

Here, he'll come closer, maybe that'll help. And raising his voice.]

Akazawa? C'mon, why's the class rep so cold to a classmate? We gotta stick together, right?

[Turns to look at him, glaring slightly.]

Hm- I suppose you might be right about that but.... I just don't understand why I have to stick around you.

[He looks just a little taken aback, but quickly recovers.]

Well, you know... We're the only two here. Just makes sense, doesn't it? And it's not like we're sworn enemies or something.

[And he seriously didn't do anything that he can think of -- he's not even a delinquent!]

[She just constantly thinks he's an idiot. Poor Teshigawara.

She sighs.]

Fine. As much as I hate to admit it- you're right. And when I said coffee I meant my journal name my mundane had picked out for me....

I had mentioned that the coffee at the restaurant we usually go to is extra fancy. Apparently it stuck.

[It's okay, Akazawa. In reality!!!

He is an idiot.]

Great! That wasn't so hard, was it? [Just has to push his luck. But he is beaming brighter now.] But hmm, I didn't know coffee came in extra fancy. Was it a new restaurant?

Anyway, sounds like a better username than mine.

[.....Ah, don't ever change, Teshigawara.]

Not really... Mochizuki's sister works there.

My mundane is laughing at it but- frankly I don't get it.

[Don't worry. He has no plans!!]

Ah, Inoya. Never tried their coffee, to tell you the truth. [Actually, he doesn't like coffee. DETAILS.] And I didn't know you went there.

[Which is odd, because he stalks Mochizuki there all the time, man.]

... Let's just say my mun's got a weird sense of humor. And there's going to be a few weird senpai where I'm supposedly going.

....I go there sometimes. [more like all the time since she's well known there but whatever???

MAYBE SHE GOES WHEN SHE KNOWS HE ISN'T AROUND.]

Where are you going...?

Mochizuki and I hang there sometimes. His sister's pretty cool.

[Maybe he feels like he's pushed his luck enough for now....]

--It's someplace called Caligo or Percaligo or something? The real name's kinda long. Sounds just like home, too.

[The smile he gives at this point is kind of lopsided.]

My mundane's heard of it... I don't think I'm being sent anywhere anytime soon though.

[another huff.]

Without me around I think you'll get yourself killed pretty quickly.

Miss Class Rep sitting around? Doesn't sound like you at all.

[Headscritch. He looks torn somewhere between sheepish and amused.]

And hey, gimme some credit! You were out of school a while back and I stuck around!

Shove it. It's not like I have a choice in the matter.

That was just pure luck... [oh, have a rare smile directed at you now.]

I suppose it's good to have you around though.

Couldn't you make a big speech and convince her or something? It's your specialty and all.

[Oh wow, he did not expect that smile at all he'll just duck his head and be suddenly embarrassed for no reason. Since when did Akazawa learn to smile like that?]

Yeah... I guess it's good to still be around. Both of us, I mean. [Pause. He looks a little calmer, though.]

[OOC: Eheh, I'm playing from the novel! Though Akazawa is super different in the novel and manga. :O]

I could- but in the end it wouldn't do anything. You know us muses aren't able to fully control what we're put into. Did you choose to go to that game...? I didn't think so.

[NOPE THE SMILE IS NOW GONE.]

Could you stop with that weird expression? It's creeping me out.

[ooc: OHO! Is it translated?? Yeah the designs from the manga and anime looked super different so I haven't checked it out yet. ONLY SEEN WHAT'S OUT OF THE ANIME SO FAR....]

... No. [Siiigh.] We're supposed to get superpowers or something, which is cool, but I still would've picked someplace better. From small-town Japan to small-town Japan... Man.

[The embarrassed look is long gone since you deflated him!! But now it is replaced by an alarmed expression.]

Wait, what? What expression? My face feels totally normal.

[OOC: Sadly not! I'm translating bits and pieces here and there. Though, Akazawa's role in the novel is waaaay smaller than both anime and manga, sadly. She's a lot nicer in the anime than in novel/manga, though. XD]

[....stares at him with such a glare. Basically like, what the fuck are you talking about]

And your face may feel normal to you, but that's just because you're already kind of creepy.

[OOC: Oohh cool! Yeah I heard she only shows up a bit in the novel. HAH SHE'S NICE? I thought she was pretty bitchy sometimes in the anime so that says something.]

[Ah, we're back to that again. Raising one palm reflexively, don't bite him.]

What?! Aren't your standards for creepy a little low? I'm the least creepy person in the class...

[Granted. They have a few veteran creeps in their class. Still.]

[OOC: Yeah she's kinda bitchy but it's more tsundere in the anime I think? :E She's straight up psycho in the manga though they build it up, and flat-out bullying bitch in the novel, ahahaha, though that might actually be due to lack of development. ;;]

[oh true, many creeps.]

Heehhh....? No I think you're the worst, definitely. Where's Kouichi-kun? I need him around to back me up on this...

[OOC: WELL I LIKE HER IN THE ANIME AT LEAST.... I know people dislike her because she's bitchy sometimes or annoying but- NO REGRETS. I LIKE HER!! being twintails is suffering]

Am I that guy's keeper all of a sudden? You might as well find Misaki first.

[Because seriously, Sakaki's like a puppy. Or a shadow. Or a stalker, but we're being nice.]

... Misaki's less creepy than me?

[Seriously, man.]

[OOC: Yeah, I really liked her in the anime! Though her crazier sides were interesting to witness, too. In the manga/novel she hates Kouichi as well as Mei for fucking up the charm, so you don't see much of her sympathetic side I guess!]

[....Oh. Misaki. Right....]

No- she's creepier. so I guess you're a step up from her. Do you want a reward or something?

[ooc: Aw poor Kouichi.... I guess it's nice to see her liking Kouichi in the anime, I like it when she prefers to sit with him rather than Teshigawara ahaha. It's hilarious to watch.]

[Ouch, man. Need to start carrying ice for all the redhead burn.]

Eheh. Maybe you could stop glaring and I'll. I don't know. Stop looking like Misaki?

[Weirdest mental image ever. Please take it as a last-ditch effort at a joke under duress, Miss Glaring-A-Hole-In-Innocent-Bystanders.]

[OOC: I think it's because the anime's assuming she's met Kouichi before (re: Ep. 10). In the manga/novel they hardly interact at all until the dining room scene. XD I might translate the novel version of that later.]

Well then- now that we've got that settled. [hands on her hips.]

What do you plan to do at that game? I hope you'll stay out of trouble- with you going there you'll be representing all of class 3. I don't want our reputation to be sullied by someone like you.

[OOC: oh right, she apparently knew him sometime after her brother died. 8| Yeah I wanna see her... weird side in the manga so I should read that. AND WHAT'S TESHIGAWARA LIKE IN THE MANGA?!]

[Why do both their class reps lack a sense of humor? Cry. Is that like a prereq or something??]

Won't it be fine if I just don't say I'm from Class 3? Sounds like I'll be in a new class, anyway. [And it's not like he wants to talk about Class 3, in particular...] And from what I hear, they've got a supernatural murder mystery or something on their hands -- or had -- something like that.

[A beat.]

And I guess you can jump into TVs? I don't really get that part.

[OOC: Does her brother die in the anime? :E I know he does in the manga, but the anime seems to vaguely hint at something or other. And heheh, he's actually pretty similar across mediums, though since Kazami plays a bigger role in the manga he gets teased a lot more. Interestingly there is no hint of his crush on Akazawa in the novel so having him run into anime!Akazawa is kind of hilarious.]

[listening to all of this.... taking it in....]

...Yeah- you're definitely going to die by the end of the week. [a smile, BUT IT'S ALMOST SINISTER?!] I'll miss you.

[OOC: I.... don't know if he really does in the anime but I just read he commits suicide so it must be in the manga yeah? MAYBE THEY'LL CHANGE IT IN THE ANIME WHO KNOWS.... Oho- so this version doesn't have a crush on her? TOO BAD THEY'RE CUTE TOGETHER. At least when she's not hitting him with kelp or something.]
