Looking at a game, voicetesting way too soon orz

[contract_high]

Ah, hello, mundane. You know you're a little early, right? You still have a large portion of my tale to hear.

No, no. There are no problems with the place you wish to send me - after all, you know as well as I that I would need my powers and a large number of ladies to grant my powers to. There's nothing that says I cannot grant the boon to men, but their souls are typically... unsuited to the task at hand. Plus, "magical girl" is a more marketable phrase than "magical boy".

I do wonder, however, about your suggestion that the robots in this game have a "spark" that is equally suitable for our needs... Quite a few of them seem rather suitable, but wouldn't giving them the powers involved in the contract cause a rather... unpleasant shift in power? Not that it's any of my business, of course.

'The boon'? What kinda boon are we talking about here?

[contract_high]

I grant wishes. However, not everyone is suitable for the contract to get one.

[aintnotrueblue]

So what's suitable and what's not?

[contract_high]

One needs to have a certain purity of spirit, and be willing to fight evil for the rest of their lives. Wishes are not something to be taken lightly, after all!

[aintnotrueblue]

...Uh-huh.

An' what's the catch? [Momma didn't raise no fool.]

[contract_high]

The catch is that you are not eligible for our program.

[Oh, there was more, but...why go into detail when there was nothing to gain?]

[aintnotrueblue]

Now you just got me curious, Tiny. Look, it ain't like what you've got planned affects me in my little corner of the Multiverse. Whatever happens, Moebius'll keep on spinnin', so it doesn't hurt to let me in on the big game, does it?

[contract_high]

Oh, it most certainly does. This affects the entire universe. Given the nature of entropy, I figure it affects the entirety of parallel universes, as well.

Mithos likes the way you think Kyuubey.

[aworldformysisterandme]

And what exactly do you do with these humans? Surely there's more to it than that?

[Note: uses humans as cattle as well to produce exspheres. So, everyone can be a lifeless being!]

[contract_high]

[Ah, but a true planner does not reveal his full hand where there are others who might overhear. It could jeopardize things.]

I make them into magical girls, who are tasked with fighting witches and extracting the seeds of their grief. It is part of combating the entropy within the universe.

[aworldformysisterandme]

[That is true. That way you can drop a bunch of plot bombs all at once and destroy your audience's brain.]

Oh really? Interesting. Very interesting...

[contract_high]

["You didn't ask". The most pragmatic of words.]

And yourself?

[aworldformysisterandme]

[He has to be a bit more blunt on this because well, like he gives a crap if anyone hears. He'll probably kill them or throw them in a human ranch if he has to.]

We use them to cultivate exspheres.

[contract_high]

Exspheres?

[It's pretty easy to deduce.]

Some sort of energy source.

[aworldformysisterandme]

[And the Angel gives no fucks on that.]

They can be used to power things. But they're often used to draw out hidden potential from the user.

[contract_high]

Ah, much like the power from a Grief Seed powers a magical girl's soul gem... I see.

So you grant that potential, in order to harvest more.

[aworldformysisterandme]

No, not really. We use them for our own use, but sometimes they manage to get into the hands of other people.

[ensuringly]

Perhaps your mun is simply excited and that is why she's planning on sending you somewhere so soon. It happens to a lot of them.

[contract_high]

Oh, my mundane knows what needs to be done first.

[givemeyourfaaaaace]

I could care less for the souls of mortals. You could say I'm more of an aesthetic creature.

[contract_high]

[Huh. Quite witch-like, yourself. Bite off any girls' heads recently?]

The souls are the important part. Any object can have a face, but only something unique has a soul.

[givemeyourfaaaaace]

[Ask one of the Avatars about that. Rumor is his wife had a face to die for.]

I disagree, a face can have so many aspects, an unlimited range of expressions...

[Changes his face into that of a polar beardog.]

It's a beauty in of itself.

[contract_high]

Maybe. It's of no importance to me, though.

[justgotback]

[Veronica can't believe this shit.]

...magical girl. So let me get this straight. You want to change girls into like Jem and the Holograms.

That's not creepy beyond hell.

[contract_high]

How do you think they got their big break?

[justgotback]

..okay in case you haven't touched off to schizoville and it's just me going off the deep end, let me lay some facts down.

First off, Jem and the Holograms aren't real. They're a cartoon.

[contract_high]

They're not real any more you mean.

[justgotback]

[...dear diary, I found the perfect pet for J.D.--psychotic and creepy, just like him.]

So you...you're like a fairy godmother. But when it turns midnight, they get sucked into MTV.

[contract_high]

Ah, television is the death of the human spirit. So focused on their animation and their serial dramas that they cannot grow on their own...

[justgotback]

Yeah, that's TV for you. Rotting our brains and...souls.

So what is it you do exactly? Other than throw our worthless souls in TV.

[contract_high]

I do no such thing. If they end up there, that's their own folly.

I grant wishes.

[justgotback]

You ARE a fairy godmother, small print clauses and all.

Well sorry, I don't have a single wish you can grant. Better go visit some other Cinderella.

[contract_high]

You will, sooner or later.

And I will be there with a contract for you.

[krillinsmybitch]

A robot dressed as a magical girl would be worth the power shift for entertainment value alone, I think.

[contract_high]

My mundane tells me that the one known as "Starscream" already has the high-heeled boots for the task.
