Voice Testing

[crownofglory]

Mundane, I do not understand why you insist on taking me from my duties to speak in this community. You don't have a game in mind, nor have you completed a canon review. You haven't even read thorough information on the sequel yet, besides a few lines of a site called "TV Tropes" before you got lost clicking on other links.

Frankly, I'm sure both of us have better things to do than waste time here. I know I do.

[There's a pause, as if she's listening to her mun try to protest]

But this is a "voice test", you say? I'm not sure I follow, surely you can tell by now my vocal cords are functioning properly.

[There's another pause as again, she listens to her mun whine. Finally, there's a small sigh from her end]

Fine, very well. I'll go along with this. But if something happens to the spirits while you make me go through this nonsense, I'm holding you accountable.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry too much, Milla.... I don't really understand it myself, but from what I've been told, places like this don't seem to exist in a normal time.

[As much as the concept was strange to him, he was inclined to believe what he'd been told by the others his mundane was playing.]

[crownofglory]

"Don't seem to exist in a normal time"? [Wow, that's actually a new thing to her] Are you certain? I didn't know such a thing was possible.

[infospam]

I didn't either, but the others my mundane has around here seem sure of it. They don't really seem like the lying type, either.

[Not that his track record with liars was the best.....] Something about being pulled from specific points in time....?

[crownofglory]

Pulled from specific points of time?

[Mulling it over. But eventually she gives up]

I'm not sure I understand, but if you're not worried about it, then I'll trust your judgement, Jude.

[infospam]

Honestly, I'd say we're in the same boat there. [It kind of hurt his head to think about it.]

[crownofglory]

Perhaps. But you've always been an intelligent person, Jude. So if you haven't found reason to worry, I can accept that.

[Because trust and all is cool like that. Suck on that Alvin]

How have you've been?

[infospam]

[He flushes a little at the praise, tucking his arms behind his back as he thinks.]

Well... I think my mundane is planning to send me to some village in a few weeks. She's pretty familiar with the place, but I'm not so sure...

[They attach extra body parts to people. Wings. It was pretty weird just at that, really.]

[crownofglory]

A village? What about it makes you uncertain?

[infospam]

It doubles as an experimental facility. They attach wings to everyone there from the get go, too. [Said with a look of uncertainty. While his mundane says it's often peaceful, he really doesn't like the idea of being trapped in a place where they do things like that.]

[crownofglory]

An experimental facility that attaches wings to people?

[Oh. Oh. She does not like the sound of that. That's as bad as the labs that Elise was in. There's only a slight pause before she decides her course of action]

Don't worry, Jude. You won't have to go. I'll seek this village out and destroy the facility.

[infospam]

M... Milla? [Oh. oh, he knows that look.]

But we don't even know where it is!

[crownofglory]

You don 't?

That's alright. I don't mind taking the time to search.

[notspecial]

[Do you feel that?

Maybe you don't. Actually, it's very possible that you don't. But somewhere, somewhere, Ivar is glaring daggers in your back.

Why does Jude get that kind of look from Milla, anyway?!]

[notspecial]

Your voice sounds just fine to me, Lady Milla! I'm sure you'll be just fine.

[crownofglory]

Ivar. What are you doing here?

[notspecial]

Me? Why, I'm here for the same reason you are!

[crownofglory]

You mean for a "voice test"?

[...]

I didn't realize there could be any conern for your vocal cords working properly. [Since seriously Ivar, you're kinda loud on a good day]

[notspecial]

It's always good to get some proper exercise, Lady Milla. Are you doing well?

[crownofglory]

Exercise? How is standing around talking in a strange community considered physical exertion?

And I'm fine, Ivar. Yourself?

[notspecial]

Very well! I feel plenty energized right now, even without a good stretch.

[Gotta exercise your voice too, come on.]

[crownofglory]

Yes. You seem very...energetic.

Is your mundane sending you to one of these "games" I've heard about?

[notspecial]

Ah...

[Way to remind him.]

No. In fact, I've already been retired from one of them.

[crownofglory]

Retired from one of them? You mean to say you've already been to one? For how long?

[notspecial]

Only a few months. But I may get another chance someday!

[crownofglory]

You want to be sent into these games? They hardly seem very pleasant, or productive.

[notspecial]

I thought the last one was enjoyable! Although, it wasn't exactly me but a reincarnation far into the future. But you might have liked it as well, Lady Milla.

[crownofglory]

Oh? Why would I enjoy being a reincarnation far into the future?

[notspecial]

There was much to be done! Mysterious plots, alien intrigue, organizations plotting against us...

[willpower]

Aw, but Milla! Think of all the cool places we could go!

[she cups her right hand next to her mouth... like she's telling a secret?] These mun people are a little weird, but they're harmless. [she grins and drops that hand]

[crownofglory]

Places? And what sort of places do you have in mind, Leia?

[And since it's Leia, she'll even kneel down a little so she can do that. Even if she's not so good at whispering back] Is that so? They do seem to have strange priorities.

[willpower]

Anywhere! Everywhere! [the excitement of new possibilities, and the fun of Milla playing along is just... ramping up her enthusiasm to terrifying proportions]

Apparently if we stick with them, we can go absolutely anywhere that a person can imagine. Sounds pretty cool to me.

[crownofglory]

Anywhere a person can imagine?

That seems like quite a tall order. What's the catch?

1/2

[willpower]

Well... that part she was a little less clear on. Something about random rules and restrictions.

[willpower]

But... come on! What could they throw at us that we can't handle?

[crownofglory]

[A small heh] I see you're a spirited as ever.

But do be careful. Even if you are strong, there's no need to invite misfortune onto yourself.

[delightly]

It's... not that kind of voice test, though I do understand how it can seem confusing, at first.

[tsunderebreeze]

These strange "mundanes" are crazy for this sort of thing, huh? You don't have to worry about us at least.

[Well.... Not any real dangers. Although they could cause a few forest fires and whatnot with their bickering.... Maybe the real danger isn't people themselves here...?]
