voice testing this brotherhecker, going to havenrpg

[nightrat]

Miss Mun, from that canon point?

[ ... ]

I just wanted to make sure you felt confident, of course! Any less just won't do.

[ Also redoing my icons, please forgive me if my icons appear a little wonky. ]

[roleofoutsider]

Don't be surprised if she changes her mind. Mine seems to at the drop of a hat.

[nightrat]

Certainly not! I don't mind at all if she picks somewhere she's feels good about.

[ Lie. He totally cares about his canon point. ]

[roleofoutsider]

You don't have any preference?

What about you? Do you feel comfortable where she's plucking you from? { If only because she and her mun are currently arguing over cannon points as well. }

[nightrat]

No preference at all. [ Lie. ] I do have to listen to her, since she surely has my best interests in mind, after all. [ Lie. ]

I'm more worried for her ability than I am for my own comfort.

[roleofoutsider]

Then you're more patient than I am.

I just want to go home. { Frown. } Not the queen's castle, or the amusement park, or anywhere in Wonderland -- just home. I guess the clock tower wouldn't be too bad, though.

You want to play this game, then?

im so bad with his voice im going to strangle him.

[nightrat]

Might I ask what this Wonderland is? [ It's pinging him, and not in a good way. ]

I wouldn't say I want to, but... it's welcome distraction at the moment.

flying canon blind but he is so fun to tag, for what it's worth <:

[roleofoutsider]

It's { impossible to explain, but she tries with a frustrated sigh and a wave of her hands } somewhere far from home; probably a dream. Instead of hearts, it's clocks that are inside people's chests. There's the pervert cosplayer with rabbit ears, Boris, the Queen, Julius --

But it's not all bad. { Said oh-so-grudgingly, but with a softer note. }

What are you distracting yourself from? If you don't mind me asking.

thank you!! that actually means a lot because i don't usually play this kind of character orz

[nightrat]

Ah. [ At the mention of the 'rabbit', Vincent frowns for but a moment. ] It all sounds very interesting. I'd love to hear more about it, if you are willing to divulge information.

As for my distraction... let's just say I'm not something a lady should concern herself with.

<: this alice is a new one on me, too. if you ever want to meme to help vt, i would so be down.

[roleofoutsider]

Interesting and exasperating. { But for the roll of her eyes and the frustration in her tone, there is still a small tenderness to her words. } But there's nothing about it I would need to hide. Do you want to know about the people, the places -- the roles?

{ Oh, but that makes her all the more curious. } I'm hardly a lady. { Her sister is a lady, looking perfect in lace and frills, but she has never thought herself nearly as elegant. }

your alice is wonderful!! i'd be happy to meme with youu if you let me know sometime!!!

[nightrat]

Please. What are these 'roles' you speak of? [ He's no stranger to the roles in a play or an opera, but she must mean something different. ]

Nonsense, [ He's reaching forward to cradle the lock of hair dangling by her face ] you are a fine lady of your own merit, even if you do not believe so. [ Creeper alarms blaring wee woo wee woo. ]

thank you so much!! you have no idea how happy that would make me!

[roleofoutsider]

In wonderland, people have roles, and those who don't, don't have -- features. { She places a hand against half of her face as if to hide her bright blue eye, her nose, her mouth, before it falls away. Getting used to that had been quite the feat. } They can speak, and work, and eat, they just don't have faces. There is the rabbit, the cat, the mafia, the queen, the knight ...

I don't have a role, though. I'm an --

{ Oh. She brinks, briefly holding her breath, before start again. Slightly flustered, she clears her throat. } An outsider. Ladies don't fall asleep under trees in the garden or find their way through forests. { Her chin lifts defiantly and she frowns again, determined not to let her apprehension show. Yet. }

just hit me up on plurk at freikugel if you need me for any meme needs!

[nightrat]

[ And suddenly he's all up in your face sorry alice, gently wrapping his hand around Alice's wrist, pulling it away gently and leaning in to stare into her eyes with his own, mismatched red and golden. While he tucks the information she's feeding him about the roles into his own mind, his priority is the flustered expression leaking through for only a moment. ]

If they don't have features like you, it must for the better. [ His other hand, the one cradling her hair, moves upwards to cup her cheek. ] A lady who breaks society's restrictions can be refreshing to talk to.

[ CREEPER ALARMS WEE WOO WEE WOO WEE WOO . ]

[a_parting_word]

...there's a smile involved, but it somehow all still sounds very ominous.

LETS NOT LOSE OUR HEADS OVER THIS--- spittakes and crumples to the ground

[nightrat]

[ A wild brother appears! ]

Ominous? How so, brother?

yes, let's not get ahead of ourselves : (

[a_parting_word]

Call it... something in the air.

Try not to rouse a scandal, will you? It's - unseemly.

i think im a little lightheaded from all of this / i misread your action tag im sorry

[nightrat]

If it's by brother's request, I'll have no choice but to obey.

[ Lie... Maybe? ]

nothing to be sorry for c: !

[a_parting_word]

...consider it a favour.

[nightrat]

A favour for dear brother? Then I'll have no choice but to abide after all.

[ Definitely a lie. We just want to make you happy, Gilbert! ♥ ]

[a_parting_word]

Isn't it simpler to say, "I'll do my best"?

[nightrat]

Perhaps, but I'd rather not the chance of failure as "I'll do my best" implies.

Wouldn't brother prefer something more absolute?

[a_parting_word]

It isn't as simple as everyone having all of their wishes come true.

[nightrat]

It should be pretty simple if I'm just abiding by your wishes.

[a_parting_word]

Yes. It should be. I - ...is this a game? I can't keep up. I won't insult you with the attempt. That's also unseemly. So, let's agree that you will mind yourself in the usual ways: don't lose too much money at cards, or keep... sensitive company, or chance a chill because you've taken your afternoon rest without a blanket again.

That... that sort of thing. As your brother, that's the sort of thing that it falls on me to remind you.

[ This is why we adore you, Gilbert. ]

[nightrat]

[ A good half minute later. ]

Thank you, brother. I shall endure to care for myself in your absence.
