Sob, voicetesting, hopefully headed to zodion

[headphoneguru]

Hey. Hey. Relax! You've totally got this in the bag. It's not that hard to just talk, you know?

At least you didn't go with Shaun as a muse. That's always a plus.

Comments

[accommodated]

What's so bad about Shaun?

[headphoneguru]

What, saying it's him isn't enough?

[accommodated]

I dunno. I'm pretty sure there's a nice guy in there somewhere.

[Seriously.] You don't sound to beaten up about Adventure Island.

[headphoneguru]

Yeah. I guess you could say the same about all of us, if you thought about it.

[She shrugs.] It's not my first choice, but hey, if it means I get out and get to play with technology, I'm not complaining. It beats being stuck in her head and staring back at some weird sociopath who has a bad habit of laughing at random points.

[accommodated]

Boy, that sounds like a real fun place. People's heads are-- weird. Still.

[Shrug.]

I'm not too broken up about it, either. Be nice to have some friendly face that arem't centuries old.

[headphoneguru]

You're telling me! It gets crowded in her head. You'd think she'd take a hint once in a while and stop adding more people all the time.

[Nodding, yup.]

No kidding. It'll be good to see the both of you there, even if it's not Italy. Now all we'd need is Shaun and Baby.

[And there goes her wry grin.]

She also might've promised me "hacking shenanigans," as she puts it. Which will probably make my stay totally worth it.

[accommodated]

I don't think you can exactly bring Baby with you. But, hey, who knows, right?

[What can he say? Rabecca is too up beat for her own good. And it's nice.]

Hate to say it, but maaaaybe I've missed you guys. Shaun mostly included. [A wry grin of his own.] Mostly.

[headphoneguru]

If I can't, I'm so making a Baby 2.0. No one's going to stop me.

[There's a reason she's around, Desmond. She has to keep you in check and keep that positivity going, as well as monitor the Animus.

Though she does laugh at the mention of Shaun.]

Maybe? Well, I guess I could understand that for Shaun. But maybe, Desmond?

[accommodated]

If I said "sure would like to see my good ol' pal Shaun Hastings" where he could hear it, I think that'd be going a bit too far.

[Ah, the Animus crew. Where would he be without you guys? His hands settle on his hips, tilting his head at her.]

I thought Baby was the Aniums 2.0? Does anyone really need three Animus's...

Animi? [Huh.] Lucy never did weight in on that one.

[headphoneguru]

...Okay no, I think I prefer "maybe" to that any day. His head wouldn't fit through a door if he heard it.

[She gives him an amused look.]

Yeah, she is. But if I can't bring her, I'll just make a better version of her. So an Animus 3.0, if you wanna get technical.

[accommodated]

Give him some credit. Even if you are right.

And, uh... Just as long as I don't have to go back in it for a while.

[That really is too many Animi in his opinion.]

If there's anybody who could build a high tech chair out of a few fridges, a hair dryers, and some shoe strings, it'd be you.

[headphoneguru]

If I did, we'd never hear the end of it.

[But she knows, honestly.]

Nah. Not unless you wanted to go back in. The mun says we could treat it like a circus show for people who wanted to try it, just for kicks.

[She's not too sure about that because people may break Baby, but it is funny to imagine.

sfahgjfsagjh awww Desmond.]

Hey, I'm just here to make sure all the tech stuff doesn't blow to hell and to keep you guys in line. Making do with improv props isn't the worst I've come across.

[keepsafe]

Muns seem to think talking is a lot harder than it seems.

( She chuckles. ) Clearly we just need to get someone else to voice him!

[headphoneguru]

Yeah, especially since this one's got a lot of them up here. [She points to her head.] Gotta wonder how she has enough room, sometimes.

[And she just grins.] And apologize in advance to whoever plays him. Maybe.

[keepsafe]

( Lucy laughs. ) I wonder about mine, too. She keeps getting influenced into adding more, too!

Maybe. Depends if he steals yogurt again.

[headphoneguru]

You should see mine- half the time she watches something, I swear she adds more people.

[A laugh.] If he does I am totally hitting him. All bets are off.

[keepsafe]

I'm very glad mine's not at that level. Yet at least.

I won't say anything if you do.

[headphoneguru]

Yet.

Good, because I'm pretty sure he'll be asking for it by then.

[keepsafe]

I think so, too.

[headphoneguru]

Only thing is he might complain even worse when I do.

[HMMMMM, THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM.]

Any ideas, Lucy?

[keepsafe]

Hmmm.

Well, wasn't he terrified of that one huge Italian guy? Maybe we can find someone else to bully him.

[headphoneguru]

Knowing that place? There has to be someone who can scare the crap out of him.

[keepsafe]

( Chuckles. ) So glad you agree!

[bello]

[This one looks amused.]

You will not run away from me or act strangely, will you? Because it is getting rather tiring...

[And looking up again before back at her.]

Apparently there are... plans. Dio mio.

[headphoneguru]

[afsghjfasgjh A blink. And then, she slowly smiles, but it's there.]

Run? Nah. It'll be a little weird but I think I'll manage.

[And she holds up two fingers.]

Two words.

Nyan. Cat.

[bello]

[SQUINT.......ing....]

I do not like that cat.

He is not nearly as entertaining as the singing man I sent to Lovino.

[headphoneguru]

[GRINNING B)]

Singing man?

[Hold on, Ezio, her mun just fell off the chair in laughter at remembering that.]

...you sent him Rick Astley? Seriously?

[bello]

Sì. Darcy showed me how!

[He grins.]

I have heard it is a common practice in the future. And he deserved it.

[headphoneguru]

[Excuse her, she's just going to crack the fuck up.]

Whoever Darcy is, I am so totally congratulating her. That's priceless.

[bello]

She is indeed a clever woman. As are you? I have heard you are... an expert with this sort of thing.

[Trolling is what he means. Technology too, but mostly trolling.]

[headphoneguru]

[Trolling? Hell yes. Brb sabotaging the entire AC cast's devices for days.]

I might be. Guess you'll just have to wait and see, right?

[viraltentacles]

For some people it is hard to talk.

[headphoneguru]

Yeah, well. Not for her- most of the time, at least.

[viraltentacles]

Just force her to then.

[ghostintheanimus]

Easy if you've got a mouth.

Hey. If you don't ever take those things off they might fuse to your head. You never know what white noise is really telling you.
