Mun recently rewatched Season 1 and things happened....

[looksfine]

I am curious about this process you refer to as "voice testing."

Are you implying there is something wrong with my aural configuration?

Comments

[awayfromdread]

I believe they mean to imitate our voices so as to subject us to potentially embarrassing situations.

It seems your "test" has brought about mine. How fickle these "muns" are.

[looksfine]

Razer.

[Her facial features soften into what could almost be mistaken for a smile]

I do not believe they are programed to accurately portray the precise timbre and pitch of our speech.

What embarrassing situations?

[awayfromdread]

They are not programmed at all. They are mere humans with nothing but keyboards.

[Ffff why do you have to ask these things?]

It is best you don't know.

[looksfine]

[Because curious robot is curious]

Why is that?

[awayfromdread]

Because knowledge of these events will not help you. I cannot predict what your puppeteer will do with you, so there is no sense in... concerning you needlessly.

[looksfine]

You say you cannot predict the possible events to come, and yet you are certain this knowledge will not benefit me.

There is a flaw in your logic.

[awayfromdread]

[Sigh. Logic defeat whyyy.]

These events are called "memes." These "players" throw us into situations that are ludicrous at best and revel in our embarrassment or pain.

[looksfine]

[She's just going to give you a deliberate, unblinking stare]

These...memes of which you speak.

They do not seem to serve any useful purpose other than torture. Does that not go against what the Green Lanterns believe in?

[awayfromdread]

They are not Green Lanterns. These "players" are not bound by any kind of oath. They can subject us to anything.

[looksfine]

Then we must stop them, correct?

[awayfromdread]

I wish it were that easy. It is impossible to plot against them without them hearing our every word.

[looksfine]

Then what do you suggest? Surely, not surrender.

[awayfromdread]

No. We will seek retribution against them. They want to hear our voices? We can scream. Scream until they get headaches and let us go.

[looksfine]

[More staring]

...you are angry.

[awayfromdread]

I do not appreciate being imprisoned because of someone's whim. You do not deserve this fate either.

[So. Yes. He's angry.]

[looksfine]

You need not worry of my condition. I am programed for adaptability, regardless of the situation in which my "mun" chooses to test me.

[awayfromdread]

That's not the point! [Whoops, he dials it down. He's not mad at Aya. He's mad on Aya's behalf.]

[Sighs]

Surely you're not enjoying this?

[looksfine]

I detect no change in my systems, one way or the other.

Further data is needed before I can accurately assess our current status.

[awayfromdread]

So you are content for now to reside in an unfamiliar environment with a potentially dangerous "player" as your puppeteer?

[looksfine]

It would not differ greatly from my previous state of existence...though "content" is inaccurate.

[awayfromdread]

I fail to see how this situation is at all similar to your situation back home. Allowing yourself to be piloted by someone trustworthy is far different.

[looksfine]

I have never been given a choice of pilots. Nor passengers.

Yet the last time, results were...favorable.

[awayfromdread]

And this time? How favorable are the results?

[He doesn't actually sound harsh at all. Mostly worried.]

[looksfine]

[She considers the question for a moment. Weighting the pros and cons.]

I have not been left in isolation. Nor have I been tampered with.

And you are here as well.

[awayfromdread]

[Well that catches him off-guard. Damn feelings.]

I am... [happy] relieved to hear that my presence makes your capture more comfortable.
