Voice Test! Canon - Gargoyles!

[lexington]

...You're sure people won't get too upset about what I am if I post this?

Go on.

It would be nice to meet others out there. I just need to keep this is a secret from the others. I'm pretty sure some of them would be unhappy if they knew, and worse, Brooklyn and Broadway would want to be here as well!

There are all sorts of...["people" is what she's about to say before she trails off]...well, all sorts here, and not all of them are human. I don't see why anyone would be upset at you for it.

[isawesome]

Nah, dude. There's a lot more tolerance for differences around here. It's kinda awesome.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I don't think you really have anything to worry about.

People are pretty accepting of alot of things here, even dragons!

[lexington]

It's not like Humans have exactly taken well to us in the past...

I didn't know if this place would be any different.

[lexington]

Yeah? That's what I was hoping for! I mean, at least no one can see what I am on the internet, right?? I can just be another one of the guys.

[lexington]

...Are... you a dragon??

I've read about them before! I didn't think I'd find one here, of all places...!

[axelavir]

O-oh, I'm sorry. And by "us", you mean...?

[lexington]

Oh- Uh-

I mean the others like me. My friends. We're all sort of outcasts.

[Covering his tail, covering his tail!]

[axelavir]

[What to do, what to do...she looks up at his wings, as if to show him those are much harder to cover up.]

You don't have to hide it. Like I said, you and your friends aren't alone.

[A pause for courage!]

I don't mean to be rude, but...what are you?

[lexington]

[Well, if she's seen him, it's okay to tell, right? She isn't like the Pack or anything...

Stands up proud with a smile.]

I'm a Gargoyle! My name's Lexington. Who are you?

[axelavir]

I-I'm Luna. [a g] It's very nice to meet you, Lexington. [a gar]

I...did I hear you right? [a garg] Did you say "gargoyle"?

[lexington]

[Slow facefall. See, this is why they don't talk to Humans... they get frightened and frightened humans do terrible things. Terrible, terrible things.]


...Yes? [More than ready to get out of there if necessary!]

[axelavir]

[Oh no! She notices him tensing up -- and he'd finally seemed to relax a bit, too. Her hands fly up to her face, unaware that the sudden movement might not help her case.]

I'm sorry! I'm not--I just--

[Deeeeeeep breaths, Luna.]

I wanted to make make sure I heard you right, that's all. [A little white lie, delivered not-so-convincingly.] To be honest I thought you were...never mind, it's silly.

[hastheedge]

You'll find that people here are surprisingly more tolerant than those back home.

[ just the person you wanted to see, am I right, Lex? ]

I made such a noise to see this tag.

[lexington]

[Eyes narrow.]

What are you doing here?

[He might have put Xanatos vaguely in the neutral zone purely for Alexander, but that doesn't mean he likes or trusts him. Mostly.]

dude I made such a noise to see this post

[hastheedge]

The same thing that you're doing here. Talking to people, meeting others, so on and so forth. [ Deliberately being a bit antagonistic because this is Xanatos we're talking about. ] The last time I checked, making conversation wasn't a crime.

[lexington]

You somehow make everything a crime.

[Because this is Xanatos we're talking about.]

I never would have expected to see you here, though.

...

Don't tell Goliath or Hudson, please?

[mightbefun]

Oh, but with an adorable face like that? How could anyone possibly be upset?

[Like you're the most handsome or normal-looking guy on the planet, Puck.]

Weird wingy thing party, I guess

[mentornomore]

Well, no one seems to mind me very much. It's sort of surprising, actually. My friend who's traveled among groundlings more made me expect more... screaming.

[hastheedge]

You do know there's nothing wrong with you being here.

But for your sake, I won't. What they don't know won't hurt them.

[lexington]

[!!!!!]

YOU!

Whoooo party! XD

[lexington]

[!!! Now he's incredibly curious.]

I've never seen anything like you before... and uh, yeah! I did sort of expect more screaming. That's what most humans seem to do when they see us.

[lexington]

You know they can be... weird about this kind of thing. [Awkward neck rub.]

I just don't want to worry them, but I'd like to meet some more people...

[Why is he even saying this to Xanatos of all people? And why is he being almost nice about it?]

[lexington]

[He instinctively crouches down, ready to run, when she moves so suddenly, but his expression stays wary at her choice of words.]

You thought I was what?

[mightbefun]

It's so difficult staying humble with reactions like that. Why, isn't a [quote-unquote] friendly, familiar face a welcome sight? If you'd really prefer a fearful mob I'm sure something could be arranged.
