voice testing...

[amazonwarrior]

Dear...Mun?

Is that what I am to call you? Strange, but there are stranger things in this world. I am willing to test out this partnership and see where it goes.

Do not fret, I am sure you will be fine.

Hi there. Just thought I would drop in, give my two cents. Yeah, I call mine Mun. You'll be fine. It takes a while. My Mun had a hard time with me, but I think she knows what do do, somewhat.

[amazonwarrior]

Hello. [She's a bit cautious, but that's normal.] You say 'somewhat,' do you not have much faith in your Mun? [Still such a strange word to say...it'll take some getting used to.]

[good_catholic_boy]

Well, yes and no. I think she brings a bit too much of herself into playing me, but we're alike in that way. [he shrugs] If it's angsty and I'm fighting, she's awesome. She hasn't been with me that long.

[amazonwarrior]

Then your partnership is working out well? I can only hope for the best with mine. We're alike, but not too much. She's more interested in "fleshing" me out, to get a better hold of my "voice."

Personally, I think she's doing well. She needs more confidence in her abilities.

[good_catholic_boy]

Yeah, I guess so. She hasn't been working with me that long. She's been fascinated with me and what I do for a while now. She always mentions this guy named Charlie Cox, who she says I look like. In that way, I wonder if letting her in on my life would be wise. [he chuckles] I think she needs to learn how to fight better. She's got the attitude though. [he smirks]

[amazonwarrior]

You're a fighter? [Interesting, but judging by the way he's carrying himself, it's easy to see.] A hero? Or are you into a sport?

[good_catholic_boy]

Uh...[he realizes he was about to let his alter ego be revealed by being careless]

In court. I'm an attorney, a lawyer.

[amazonwarrior]

[There's a pause from her, looking him over again.]

The way you carry yourself says differently.

[good_catholic_boy]

[He can feel her eyes appraising him, he tips his head, listening to her heart. No bullshit here. He does grip his cane a bit harder than he usually does, but his stance is as casual as he can be, with his senses on full alert. His eyebrows raising above his red glasses]

And how do you know that? Miss...? [Watch out Diana, you're being questioned by a Colombia Law grad]

[amazonwarrior]

Diana, Diana Prince. [He might hear her heart beat change. Every time she says that name, she thinks of Steve.]

Straight back, even most lawyers slouch and the grip on your cane is tight.

[She understands what it means to have a secret identity and just to calm his fears...] What sport?

[onewhodares]

There is not much cause for welcome here in this place...

[Don't mind him, he is always like that.]

[amazonwarrior]

There isn't? Why do you say that?

[She won't mind the attitude...she's just curious..and cautious.]

[onewhodares]

[Cautious is the word for it, he looks as if checking to not be overheard.]

These 'muns', they are not to be trusted. I would take care in putting too much faith in their good intentions.

[Despite his small size, he carries himself like one accustomed to using the large sword on his back.]

[amazonwarrior]

[Diana knows not to judge someone by their looks, their size, or by their appearances. He does look like he's traveled far and could be a warrior of sorts.]

'Muns' are human, they have the capacity for both good and for evil. If yours has treated your terribly, why not stand up to them? Stand against them?

[onewhodares]

[Wise words, but Thorin has a low regard for humans.]

The world of men is not for a dwarf. I tolerate them as they do us. They are weak and selfish, there are few that do good. I endure my own writer's whims and follies but that is the end of my participation.

[amazonwarrior]

The world of men is not for an Amazon, yet here we both are.

The way you describe them can apply to man, dwarf, woman, or anyone. Surely, if you are with your Mun, then they've done at least some good for you.

[onewhodares]

[He has traveled much of Middle Earth but has never heard of an Amazon before. However he is not happy to have dwarves included in his own critical words.]

My people are not weak, we are strong, even stronger together than apart.

[Remembering his manners, he puts an arm and closed fist across his chest with a small bow.] Thorin Oakenshield, son of Thrain, son of Thror. At your service and your family's.

[amazonwarrior]

Neither are mine, but there is capacity to do good or to do harm.

[She's only heard of dwarfs in fairy tales, never expecting to meet one in person. He's taller than she imagined. But right manners..]

Diana, Princess of Themyscira. Daughter of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. An honor to meet you.

[onewhodares]

[She is royalty, and somehow he does not find that surprising.]

Do your people reside in Middle Earth? Or elsewhere?

[amazonwarrior]

[Was it because of how she carried herself?]

We reside on Earth, on an island that is hidden from the world of Man. [But she suspects Middle Earth and Earth are two separate places.] Do you reside in this 'Middle Earth'?

[notaafraidanymore]

I'm sure you and your mun will get along just fine. It's always rather comforting when they understand your "voice".

[amazonwarrior]

I am hopeful our partnership will last a long time. It all depends on her.

[notaafraidanymore]

Now there is where things can get a little complicated.

[amazonwarrior]

Having to depend on someone other than yourself? I suppose.

[notaafraidanymore]

You'll get use to it? I did after awhile.
