VOICETESTING please kill me

[overshadow]

... Unfortunate. I was beginning to think you wouldn't go through with it, but it's no surprise that a human would be so single-minded.

However, as long as we're here, I might as well ask. It won't go well for you--trying to confine me is quite pointless. What could you possibly hope to gain?

You can't do anything to your mun. Believe me, I've tried. [ Unless you count raising her stress levels higher then normal and making her lose sleep as 'anything'. Oh, hello, tiny abomination against the laws of nature. Don't mind the scrawny blonde teenager. Have an eyebrow raise at the little black-haired boy threatening his writer. ]

Oh, I dunno, maybe your mundane is bored, brat?

[overshadow]

[WHOA who the heck even]

[slave_number_23]

[ :| What's that look for huh kiddo. ]

[overshadow]

[but he's from after devouring gluttony! the features are familiar, and combined with that smell... ah.]

Oho? Now, this is an interesting sight.

[slave_number_23]

[ Well, you have one advantage here, he has no clue who this monster kid is. ]

Really. How so?

[overshadow]

I simply hadn't expected to see you like this, Van Hohenheim. [he tips his head to the side a little, affecting a sort of childish OOPSIE expression.] Or is it only Slave #23 now? My mistake.

[slave_number_23]

Wait, how do you know my name—...

[ Normally, he cared very little which name he was called by, but there was something about the way the kid said his name, in an almost childishly condescending fashion, that rubbed him the wrong way. It almost reminded him of the homunculus and how he was such a goddamn snobby prick even on his best days, almost. He shook the thought off, brushing it away.

His bright yellow eyes narrowed. ]

... Oi, brat. You're not from my son's time period, are you?

[overshadow]

So you already know? [this must be some kind of common occurrence! how strange.] I see! Another consequence of places like these, right? It truly is very interesting.

As for your sons... [8)] yes, you could say that we've met.

I have been so slow lately, sorry.

[slave_number_23]

Kinda hard not to know. [ Since he certainly doesn't remember making any kids in his spare time. Or killing off his entire country yet. Also, brat, he has never see any child use big words like you do. It's a little creepy. ] So, you are from that time. What's your name, kiddo?

[ ... B| ] Hn. That's so?

it's all good!

[overshadow]

There's quite the resemblance. [Suddenly there's a particularly little-boyish cadence in his voice! BUT IT'S STILL SO SMUG...] But I've forgotten my manners. My name is Selim. It's nice to meet you, Mister 23.

thanks you~ your Selim is awesome and horrible.

[slave_number_23]

How did you and the shortie meet, anyway? [ Oh my god, you ARE SETTING OFF SO MANY "GOD THIS BRAT IS SUCH A PRICK, I WANT TO PUNCH HIM BUT I CAN'T" ALARMS. Other then that, he just stares blankly down at the smaller dark-haired boy. ] ... Same here, Selim. Manners? EH, you're one of those kids from—[ well, he'd say the noblemen class and rich folks with their snotty spawn, but he's not sure if that's how society is like a couple centuries into the future, because surely social classes and such evolved, so ]—a well-off family? That sort?

thank you right back! c: this is the first time i've tried playing him and i'm glad you like it

[overshadow]

That's right.

[he shifts his balance from one foot to the other, still looking over (or rather, way up at) his face. playing up the body language isn't something Pride typically does, but he's interested in his reactions!]

He works for my father.

omg 'n'

[wishgrant]

I think they're just hopin' t' have fun!

[overshadow]

[WHOOPS SMALL CHILD TIME TO SWERVE INTO THE ADORABLE LANE]

Yeah... but I wish it wasn't me. Even if some of these places sound really cool, I don't want to leave mother and father.

[wishgrant]

Yeah... I had t' leave Brother t' go where I am.

But if you do go, they might show up there!

[overshadow]

Really? You mean they could both come over?

[his face lights up!! privately, of course, he doesn't want that in the slightest. even with so much in set place, his absence would be something of a handicap, let alone Wrath or any of the others--and having one of the sacrifices or their supporters show up would create an even bigger nuisance. surely it's best to keep things small.]

That's amazing! Is there any way to make sure? [he adds on the last part almost hesitantly:] I don't want to be alone in a place like that for too long.

[wishgrant]

If your mun can find someone who wants t' bring 'em! Or takes you somewhere they're at!

[overshadow]

I don't know if there's anybody... but I'll try my best! She only wants to take me to one place, though, and they're not there. But that just means they can show up later, right?

[wishgrant]

They can! My friend Hannah showed up after me! Where's she wanna take you?

[overshadow]

It's a city! Called, uh, "Siren's Port." I heard some stuff about monsters, but it can't be that scary, or she wouldn't send me there.

... I think.

[wishgrant]

[ ah, right in the feels. ] It's not so bad. I was there 'til a few days ago.

[overshadow]

Wow, really?... Hey, that means you got sent back, right? Isn't that good?

[wishgrant]

[ He shakes his head. ] I liked it there. An' I promised Brother I wouldn't leave him.

[overshadow]

Oh... sorry. But it's not like it's your fault you had to leave! That really stinks.

[wishgrant]

I guess. [ He doesn't seem convinced, but ah well. ]

But if you just stay away from th' people who always lived in th' city it should be fine! There's lots of nice people in the Port!

[overshadow]

[aww 8( unfortunately Pride doesn't feel empathy... ever...]

Why, what's wrong with them? [lookin' concerned] If everybody else is nice... are they the monsters?

[wishgrant]

[ it's bc he's a little shit that needs a good kick int eh face. or five. ]

No, but they don't like any of us being there. They even tried to make it so we couldn't even go to the schools.

[overshadow]

[quick someone else hit him with a car again!!

he pauses, as if thinking.]

If they even want to do that to kids, they must really feel strongly about it. But it's not like it's on purpose... so why do they hate us so much?
