Voicetesting, canon is Skullgirls by the way

[bloodied_maid]

It truly is amazing how simplistic and easily swayed you are, Mundane. You were consumed by indecision as to which "muse" you were going to pick for that game of yours. And then, what happened? You saw two of those..."canonmates" of mine and suddenly it was as if you wished to play me since the beginning. I find it amusing that you didn't even know about me until a few days ago. Though I shall let that slide.

Regardless, I suppose there is no way to deter you. Therefore, I will spare you a speech. All I ask is that if you must go through with this, take time on your application. Do not disappoint me.

Comments

[bassinyoface]

Marie, that you? Didn't expect to see you out here.

If these canonmates are not me, then it's not worth it to go there.

[bloodied_maid]

No, I suppose it isn't, especially considering just who they are. But, he has made up his mind...for the time being at least.

[bassinyoface]

Well, at least you aren't getting sent to some pretty pink girly place. I would rather be anywhere but there.

[bloodied_maid]

That...doesn't sound fitting for you at all. Perhaps you could convince your mundane to reconsider?

[bassinyoface]

I know! He is just against joining another game right now. However, he was at that that game your are going to in the past...

[bloodied_maid]

Oh? My mundane has been there for a while, perhaps he knows your mundane?

[bassinyoface]

He used to play some blonde named Hime, some monster princess. He was there for a month or so, but another 3 games took it's toll on him. He's in 2 right now, but considering dropping one of them.

So, what poor suckers from our canon are there?

[bloodied_maid]

Well...one is the cat girl, Miss Fortune...

...but the other...

[Her hand forms into a fist and tightens.]

Is a member of the Medici family...that Cerebella girl.

[bassinyoface]

Ah, the one with all those puns

*Peacock's smile disappears quickly*

I see... Do you plan to do anything to her while there?

[bloodied_maid]

Yes, her.

[She knew this would be a problem.]

I...am not sure. The Medici family isn't there, true...so...perhaps I won't have to.

[notabirdbrain]

...So you are Marie.

[bloodied_maid]

Yes, I am her.

[notabirdbrain]

Patricia has spoken of you, on occasion. Though it was this "mundane" who informed me of... what you became.

I suppose I should expect such unfortunate turns of fate by now.

[bloodied_maid]

She has?

[She almost smiles at that.]

Yes. Things didn't go as I had anticipated.

[notabirdbrain]

Her comments were only unflattering in the beginning. Otherwise, I've hardly heard her speak so highly of anyone else.

Anyone who isn't a character on television, in any case.

[He gives a small smile of his own.]

Things rarely do, where the Skull Heart is concerned.

[bloodied_maid]

Unflattering? If so, I am sure I deserved them.

[She...didn't want to abandon her. She wanted to get help...]

So I have learned. Perhaps if I could do things differently, I would...but, at least Patricia stopped me before I did something terrible.

[notabirdbrain]

I'm sure I don't know the whole story - least of all your perspective. Perhaps, perhaps not. She's got a bit of a temper, after all.

So it's already happened in your timeline, then? Ah, it's good to hear that my work paid off...

[He's hesitant to ask if the two of them were able to reconcile, however. Avian puts a hand to his chin, pondering.]

I've indeed been told it's possible to encounter those who would otherwise be dead here, but forgive me if I find it unsettling that the first instance of this phenomenon I encounter is with the Skullgirl herself. I'm not entirely convinced any world - even one as strange as this conglomerate dimension - is completely immune to such destructive power.

This is going better than I thought

[bloodied_maid]

Yes, I am grateful that you were able to help her. Considering all she had been through, she needed someone like you.

[She may have actually smiled then, if only for a few seconds.]

No, you have a point. But I seem to have more of a grip over the Skullheart's power now. More-so than I did before, in fact.

Well, most other ASGL members probably would've freaked out and/or attacked, admittedly.

[notabirdbrain]

...Thank you. [Add that to the list of things he never thought he'd find himself saying to the Skullgirl.] It hasn't been easy, and there are many who'd protest our methods, but I would always rather work with the potential to help rather than the potential to harm.

[Unlike CERTAIN OTHER LAB SECTORS that we don't like to talk about. A grimace flickers across his face at the thought of it.]

That's... interesting. Something about the artifact's function must be tied to our home world... but what, exactly?

[mainattraction]

The Skullgirl and Nadia Fortune both in the same place? That makes it so much easier to track the two of you down.

[bloodied_maid]

[Oh, it's you.]

Well. It seems any hope I had for peace in that city has just been shattered.

[mainattraction]

[Hi dollface.]

Hey since when was I the problem?

[bloodied_maid]

[How you doin'?]

Since now. I will finally have nearly full control of the Skullheart. Things...will be different. I won't allow you to interfere in that.

[mainattraction]

[Oh you know, crushing catgirls to a bloody pulp to appease my not!daddy.]

But you're the one who keeps on attacking the family. I can't just sit by and let you go on with that.

Sorry about my mistake! Watching the story again, I suppose she didn't kill most of the Medici's.

[bloodied_maid]

[Sounds like fun.]

Your so-called family funded the slave traders who nearly killed my best friend and ruined both of our lives. They all deserve to perish.

But...your "family" isn't going to be where we are going, which means this feud is pointless.
