Reserving for wonderfulworlds, Voice testing

[juuichi_yosamu]

It certainly took you long enough to give me a journal. Creative name; I wonder how many would understand it, even if they spoke the language of the human realms?

I suppose I can't argue with you if you have your mind set on a specific game... though it does worry me that you refuse to tell me what my "entry fee" to this place is; I have little to take. I hope I won't disappoint, either; you should know well by now that I am a fair cut different than most of the others here.

Just remember, be it there, back home, or in the past, I will always have a task to complete.

(Hi have a flying girl suddenly appear.)

I see this game will be getting a very...interesting array of characters. Which role, I wonder, will your mun make you play...?

[juuichi_yosamu]

Depending on how it's interpreted, I'm arguably already dead. Does that narrow the options any?

[suicidoll]

Yes, but you only lose one out of three options, which isn't all too bad. When you're dead, your options include being a "player" in their game or being a "reaper," which essentially means being a moderator...as well as making the game more strenuous for players.

[juuichi_yosamu]

A hero or a villain.

[Grovyle, you of all people should know about moral ambiguity.]

[suicidoll]

(A distinction Kreutzer's totally fine with explaining.)

Not exactly. Each role has their definitive tasks, of course, but as much as there can be a villainous player, there can be a heroic reaper. Such characteristics vary from person to person, so to speak, but neither is truly good or evil.

[juuichi_yosamu]

Of course not. However, my mun seems to think quite differently in the terms of the game itself.

Also, you'll have to pardon me if the term "heroic reaper" strikes me as patently absurd. Even if the concept isn't inherently evil, those who go by the word 'reaper' carry with them the tidings of death and deception.

[suicidoll]

But of course. The word will always remind everyone of death and the end of something; the wording may be contradictory, but my point is definitive...and my mun feels the need to mention something called "Darksiders 2," but that's hardly any of my concern.

My concern, instead, lies with my mun's desire to make me a reaper, which may or may not contradict your role, depending on what your mun decides.

[juuichi_yosamu]

Perhaps it shall. There's no telling. However, if the roles of player and reaper aren't inherently good and evil, then perhaps there is even the slight chance that the two might become cordial to one another.

[suicidoll]

If handled with caution, then yes, I imagine it can. The difficulty will be in the reaper appearing to act out of line, but I'm sure that can be figured out; business is business, after all, but that can only define so much of a person's actions.

[juuichi_yosamu]

If your actions involve disposing of players day in and day out without break, then surely you aren't good in the slightest.

[suicidoll]

Of course. Even I wouldn't sink to such levels; there's so much more that can be done besides killing, but the exact details escape me at the moment.

Though reapers are allowed to traverse between the game world and the real world...the world of the living. So interacting with those who are still alive becomes very much possible.

[juuichi_yosamu]

There's little need to, given the situation. What would one say to those who are still living? It's just another mask you'd have to wear.

My mun suggests that reapers also maintain barriers to keep players in certain areas, or to make them work to pass them, like checkpoints. It makes sense that they wouldn't be held to the same violence quota of the "harriers", as he calls them.

[suicidoll]

It can serve its purposes. Interaction with those not involved in the game may prove to be relaxing...peaceful, even.

Ah, there is certainly that to consider. Not all engagements with players have to lead to fights; those barriers can be used to force players to do anything from simple conversation to bringing you things or even dressing up in silly outfits...quite the flexible range, if you ask me.

[Ooh, a Grovile.]

Hello there.

[juuichi_yosamu]

[He bows. Unlike most from his "world", he's no stranger to humans. No, the strange part is being able to speak with them, as he briefly glances around for a tablet before remembering.]

Ah... hello. Can I help you?

[champ_coordinator]

You are well spoken for a Pokemon.

[juuichi_yosamu]

I suppose it's the power of this place. A sake of convenience for our muns, I'm sure.

[champ_coordinator]

A place of power? Hm, I suppose you are right.

I am Wallace. Nice to meet you.
