Voicetest - canon is Ai no Kusabi

[cur_of_ceres]

You haven't reviewed, and this is the only icon?

[Riki sighs, and lights up a cigarette.]

You'd be better off playing my original self. I don't have time for those who behave like greenhorns.

Comments

[holdsoutfordignity]

Only from the tales told in magazines and books. None are all that convincing, might it add.

[His own lips quirk up in a playful smile.] Or that interest me too much.

Can't say I heard of that either. And I like to think myself well-traveled.

[cur_of_ceres]

Then we are most definitely from drastically different periods in time. Ceres is a location on the planet Amoi, where I was born.

[Stretching slowly, Riki finishes off her cigarette, drops it, and then snuffs it under her shoe.]

You'd probably be blown away by the advancements people achieved after they started populating other planets. I don't know the details, though. I just know how to work the machines.

[holdsoutfordignity]

And I'm from the United States; a country on the planet Earth.

[What was with people and smoking? He could never understand, or really stand the smell of it.]

Don't know about that. Times were changing last I checked. And changing mighty fast.

[cur_of_ceres]

...

[Then he should have said something, dork. Riki isn't unforgiving for things like that. Fortunately, she doesn't light up a second time.]

"Earth" sounds familiar. Like from the token bits of knowledge we were given in Guardian. Unfortunately, knowledge unused is knowledge forgotten.

[holdsoutfordignity]

[Shush you, Ethan is far too polite for such a thing. If he he wasn't then he would have told every Tom, Dick and Harry and Vanessa to stop it when he's around.]

Truer words were never spoken before. [And depressing words at that. He knows far too well what happens to people who lose knowledge.]

But I couldn't tell ya where, I ain't an astronomer. Unless you're familiar with Mars.

[cur_of_ceres]

[Then, alas, he will just have to... /puts on shades - deal with it~]

Mars...

Sadly, not really. Aside from the fact that it was a part of Earth's solar system, and Amoians don't seem to have any interest in whatever is or isn't left of that one.

[holdsoutfordignity]

[*Sobs....you went there. ;;]

Then we're at a loss; I'm afraid. Not that it matters much. This place is supposed to bring folks from different worlds, after all.

[cur_of_ceres]

[Not sure I'm sorry. /sheepish.]

That it is. I'll have to ask around if I remember to. See if anyone remembers anything of the old worlds.

[holdsoutfordignity]

[You are? ;3;]

If in ya were feeling so inclined. Not like we got much else to really do for the moment. Unless your mun already has created plans.

[cur_of_ceres]

[W-well, I am if it'll make you feel better. I just couldn't resist being a dork. XD]

No, no plans. I was just planning on getting high on stout. My mun hopes we find some, ah, castmates, if we run around the meme comms.

...A certain person named Iason Mink, in particular.

[holdsoutfordignity]

[It does. XD]

Suppose I'll be keepin' my peepers out and looking around for them. But I figure that you'll probably be finding them first.

[cur_of_ceres]

[<3]

Oh, no doubt.

...Depending on the incarnation of the medium, he either looks like this or this.

[holdsoutfordignity]

[<3!]

...Right I think I can spot him from several miles away. [Literally, and here Ethan thought that he had long hair, godamn.]

Any reason why him specifically? I feel as though there's a story here.

[cur_of_ceres]

...He's the right-hand man of the one who rules all of Amoi.

We have a score to settle.

[Her voice goes colder than before. It's not exactly a fib, but... well, no reason this guy needs to know the intricate details.]

[holdsoutfordignity]

That so?

[He bite his lip in thought and flexed his jaw a little.]

Ya lookin' for revenge then?

[cur_of_ceres]

I'm looking for whatever I can find against him.

[Because damn her feelings of love and hate for him.]

Because there's not much a human like me can do. Elites like him are made of tougher stuff. If he wanted to, just by grabbing someone's hand, he could break every bone just by squeezing a little too hard.

[holdsoutfordignity]

Could always try poisoning him, shooting him or just bring him down from the inside.

[He knows far too well how to kill or destroy a man -Man or monster. All can die at the end.]

[cur_of_ceres]

Death is... I can't go that far.

I won't.

[holdsoutfordignity]

Sometimes, it's the only way.

[A pause.]

Other times it takes stalking 'em from a distance. Watching and waitin' for that moment. That takes quite a bit of time.

[cur_of_ceres]

...No.

...Let's stop talking about this. I have no intention of divulging every detail, and your ideas with limited info don't work.

Forget I mentioned it.

[holdsoutfordignity]

Very well, if that's what you want.

[cur_of_ceres]

[Sorry, Ethan. Sometimes Riki doesn't even know what she wants. Plus, she lives with the guy, so it's not like "viewing from a distance" is even possible.[

It is.

My mun is enjoying our interactions so far, so that's a much lighter note.

[holdsoutfordignity]

[This is fine! Because Ethan doesn't quite know what he wants anymore either. Besides, that's even better. She can find out even more intimate details.]

Are they now? Suppose I should state that mine is feeling the same. Can't say I really know what to think right now.

[cur_of_ceres]

She wants to see how we may interact in memes beyond this, without the fourth wall in effect.

If yours doesn't mind, in any case.

I'm not sure what to think of it, myself. We're from vastly different times, dimensions, AND, obviously, upbringing.

As she says just now, "It is a mystery". Whatever that means.

[holdsoutfordignity]

They don't mind.

Funny how advances in technology brings people together, ain't it?

But yeah, mines also stating that it'd be a mystery and to go for it.

dammit hover-over-icon pop-ups!

[cur_of_ceres]

My mun found you on the "tag someone new" meme. Are there any prompt types that you and your mun do or do not want?

Lol XD

[holdsoutfordignity]

Not especially, no. You and yours may pick whatever ya would like. Not a man's place to make a lady choose. If we have any problems, well be sure to let ya know.

XD;

[cur_of_ceres]

I see. Then, we'll roll for the type, and then for the prompt (if applicable).

XD;;;

[holdsoutfordignity]

Just don't go be thinkin' too hard on it now. Ya hear?

[cur_of_ceres]

Me? Think too hard? Hardly.

[She flashes him a confident smile.]

[holdsoutfordignity]

[He returns that smile with that of his own. Just more playful, teasing, and with a hint of flirtatious confidence.]

Well now I was speaking to your mun. But I do suppose that you must be havin' thoughts of your own.

[cur_of_ceres]

I'll never tell~<3

[She certainly notices his flirting!]

[holdsoutfordignity]

Yet, ya mean you won't tell yet.

[Oh no, he was caught red-handed!]

[cur_of_ceres]

...Hmph.

[She just smiles indulgently at that. She won't say yes, but she won't say no, either.]

[holdsoutfordignity]

[That was all he needed, and Ethan just continues to smile at his newly found friend.]
