Voicetesting-ish Hermione Granger (impulse journals ftw?)

[scarlet_woman]

Dear Mun,

You don't actually like the books I'm from, but you want to play me anyway? On what planet does that make sense?

Yes, I know, you've written a lot of fanfic because of collaborative projects and whatnot, and I really don't want to get into your disturbing fondness for fiction pairing me with that insufferable git Draco Malfoy...

I can't believe I just wrote that.

Anyway, my point is that you're being very irrational. Even if there is something to be said for "I still like the world," or liking a particular character depite not being fond of the overall canon, I still think you're stretching it a bit with this one, actually.

And the journalname? Not as funny as you think it is.

Why would anyone pair a fine bird like you with a Malfoy?

You deserve actual class.

[So he has no idea who she is or who Draco Malfoy is, but he knows what he has to do when he sees a damsel in distress.]

[herbologizing]

I don't get it.

[What's new?]

[scarlet_woman]

[ Which is to make her mildly flustered, apparently, though she does her best to cover it up. ]

Well, I'm sure I don't know.

But I do know that I deserve better than someone who treats me and my friends like dirt and sympathizes with deatheater sentiments.

[scarlet_woman]

Neither do I, Neville, neither do I.

[ Perhaps slightly more new? ]

[herbologizing]

If your mun doesn't like them, why'd they write "fanfics" of it so much then?

[alwaysimpure]

[Mildly flustered is just the first step...]

Oh, I know, rest assured.

And, yeah, you do deserve better, but other than my cousins I'd rather think much of anyone deserves better. What's your mun thinking? Isn't there anyone more fitting? Charming? Handsome? Darker hair?

i couldn't help it

[astounding]

Sirius, no.

I'll just be over here laughing my ass off and loving you forever

[scarlet_woman]

LAUGHING SO HARD

[alwaysimpure]

...what?

Are you her father, sir?

[Those scars look familiar...]

[scarlet_woman]

You're asking me to try to make sense of a mind that likes the thought of me together with Malfoy?

Frustration, I think. Wanting to make more sense of the story in her head. And as I said, most of it was collaborative projects. With her girlfriend, actually. So there was the fact that she just enjoyed writing together with someone she cares about a lot.

And the whole "fun world, not as fun books" bit that I spoke of.

[shiro_megane_kun]

I've found that mundanes, as rational as they may otherwise be, are rarely logical or swayed by logical arguments when it comes to their hobbies. [Or... 'shipping'.]

[scarlet_woman]

[ How do we deal with handsome, charming boys being flirty and smooth? By being... decidedly not smooth back. ]

I would like to think I'm not just here to find a... a boyfriend.

[alwaysimpure]

Good girl! Too much commitment at our young age isn't a great idea anyway.

HAHAHA BEST MIX-UP EVER

[astounding]

[He totally is old enough to be her father, but...still! How dare you!]

No, no I'm not.

...do I really look that different?

[scarlet_woman]

[ Ahem. ]

It really, really seems to be that way. But I'm still baffled. She can barely keep up with RP as it is, too!

THIS IS NOW DIAMONDS

[alwaysimpure]

[Hey, he meant no offense, mate! It's just that he hit on a girl and that bloke stepped in and he sure as hell hopes that's not her boyfriend... wait.]

...Moony?

Why are you old?

[Tact. He has it.]

[herbologizing]

B-But...why are you a...scarlet woman?

IS THE HORSE GOING TO BE MADE OF DIAMONDS?

[astounding]

[No, her boyfriend is more her age and also a Weasley.]

Why are you young?

[scarlet_woman]

I'm not!

She thinks she's being funny, because of that comment Ron made in one of the books. How Rita Skeeter was trying to make me seem like one?

Yeah, that's where she got it from.

[scarlet_woman]

I do have one, you know.

[ She's just not... entirely sure how that's going to work out? ]

WHILE IT'S BEING RIDDEN AND YOU KNOW IT

[alwaysimpure]

[Well, his boyfriend is more his age and also you.

What.]

Because young looks good on me.

[alwaysimpure]

Ah!

[All the backing off. As in, that charming smile gets turned down a notch. for now.]

And he's not a Malfoy, I hope?

[herbologizing]

Ohhhh...now it makes sense.

No one really listens to Rita Skeeter anyways. I mean, they shouldn't.

[scarlet_woman]

No, he's a Weasly.

then it is the best horse, of course, of course

[astounding]

Young looked good on all of us. [Punching little holes in that ego of yours, watch him go.] This girl is friends with Harry Potter, James and Lily's son.

Thus my telling you to stop.

[shiro_megane_kun]

I've stopped trying to fathom any of their rationale. When it comes to this-- to us-- they are creatures of impulse.

At least she hasn't scouted out a 'game' for you. Her attention should wane quickly enough, barring that. Which I'd say is a blessing. From my rare encounters with him, the 'Malfoy' you speak of is... unpleasant. Particularly when it comes to you.

[shutupmage]

Hn.

[He looks entirely displeased with this whole business, but then, he pretty much always looks displeased.]

Muns can be idiots. Mine apped me for no real reason and she can't stand being part of the fandom I'm from. She also hates games because they scare her.

Yours...well, at least she sounds well meaning.

[scarlet_woman]

No, they really shouldn't.

Thank you, Neville.

that much is for sure

[alwaysimpure]

I'll say. You're doing alright though. [After the first shock has worn off, he can process that much. Also, his ego is indestructible.] Maybe eat more.

[He does look rather worn out. Was there a full moon recently? He would be more concerned if not...]

James actually landed Lily? Way to go, Prongs!

[He's so proud.]

[scarlet_woman]

He is absolutely awful, is what he is. I have no idea what she's thinking.

And no, I don't think she's even considering apping me anywhere. It wouldn't be fair to people who enjoy the canon more who play me to take up a spot in a game.

[scarlet_woman]

I don't know how well meaning it is to enjoy fics with me and the boy who's bullied me and called me racist slurs for years becoming a couple.

She hates games but she's in games? I hope she's alright.

[shiro_megane_kun]

Nor do I. [He can't think that relationship would be anything but utterly miserable for Hermione, to be frank.]

Well, then, I think you'll be relatively safe from her depredations.

[Not as safe as she'd be if her mundane didn't have the muse at all... but still, it could be considerably worse.]

[alwaysimpure]

Ah, good for you! There's lots of those, they're alright. Bloodtraitors are always a good choice.

[scarlet_woman]

I can't say blood factors in one way or the other, actually. He's just a great guy.

[scarlet_woman]

I really hope so, I've seen some of the stuff she does to her characters.

Well, she does nice things too but some things are just absolutely horrid.

[shiro_megane_kun]

Generally, I attribute 'nice things' that happen to the others I interact with, and not my own mundane.

[scarlet_woman]

... you make a very good point.

[shiro_megane_kun]

Besides, even when they are kind, it's self-serving. They aren't kind for kindness' sake, it's because whatever it is they're doing gratifies them somehow.

[scarlet_woman]

Mine has this... fluff craving, I think she calls it.

[shiro_megane_kun]

The mildest form their whims take.

[Ouch. Ishida, y so bitter?]

[scarlet_woman]

She's very fond of you when it comes to that one, actually.

[ Because reasons? ]

[shiro_megane_kun]

... [He's trying to formulate a response to that. Instead he's mostly. Blushing and fiddling unnecessarily with his glasses.]

[His mun is fond of fluff, too. ;)]
