voice testing... /terrified faces go here

[commissioner]

...I get the feeling you're not planning to go easy on me.

That look really isn't helping, in case you were curious.

I dunno. Crazy as that place is, I don't think I've gone this long without someone trying to kill me in years. Kinda nice.

[commissioner]

[...lskjdgdf Xena what are you. after a slight pause:]

I can see why that might be an attraction.

Dangerous profession at home, or are you the wrong kind of popular? [you never know.]

[forgedinbattle]

[She is perfectly normal, obviously. Geeze.]

A little of column A, a little of column B.

[commissioner]

I take it the situation is complicated. [...to say the least...]

Things are different at this... [pause. is he really going to say it.] castle?

[forgedinbattle]

Yeah. [You don't need to know about her war crimes.]

One good thing about that place? It's mostly a blank slate, unless you've been there before or got someone else from home.

[commissioner]

[ahhh. he understands, nodding.]

And so you're no longer so popular. Or dangerously employed.

[forgedinbattle]

Not quite as popular. Still dangerously employed, when I'm needed.

[She shrugs.] I'm a warrior; I protect people. Don't see why a change in location should affect that.

[commissioner]

A 'warrior?' [he gets the 'protect people' bit. warrior, not so much.]

[forgedinbattle]

Is this the part where I explain to you that the castle is a big fan of mixing timelines? [She would have thought the warrior bit rather self explanatory.]

[commissioner]

It might be. It looks like I lost my script, but luckily, I'm not half-bad at improv if you don't mind playing along.
