Voice Test For a Board-Based Game

[uponthehighwire]

Oh, hi there mun. Hi. You're a femme right? So I can call you femme-mun?

Um, I guess you... [Here, High Wire slips into an incredible amount of Mini-Con bleeps and bloops, the translation which is "You're really excited about me, right?" Not that he can speak it in English because his English is very limited.] What is that word? The word for the happy feeling when you cannot wait? You have that, right?

'Cause I have that happy feeling. I think. It is like going on a journey, yes? But, um...

[High Wire slips into a few bleeps and bloops again, as though trying to search for words. He may know English, but he's not that good with it all the time. Poor little Mini-Con with his limited English.]

I mean, uh, that scared feeling. About that world you want to throw me in. I get that feeling. The scared feeling. The blue goo stuff is gonna be gone by the time you play me, right? I do not like the sound of the blue goo stuff from what the other friends in your, erm, headspace say.

And...um... [Here he gives a few soft little bleeps. The translation is along the lines of "You aren't going to make me sound like that thing Rad calls a 'butthead' are you?"]

[And then High Wire gives the cutest little look and his mun just melts from the adorable.] We will make a good team, yes, femme-mun? I do not have to be separated from my team, correct? I guess I am ready. I hope I do not let you down.

((And then his mun melts because she forgot just how adorable High Wire could really be and now she wants to hug him so damn much because he's just freaking adorable.))

Have you ever been on a journey before, little one?

Re: mirrorverse starscream

[uponthehighwire]

[For a moment, High Wire stares, then backs up nervously, making several bleeps and bloops before he finally calms down.]

Journey, yes. Long journey.

[Though he doesn't wish to elaborate. He's actually been on many journeys. From Cybertron to Earth. From Earth to Cybertron, and to the heart of Unicron. Not that he will say it.]

[Starscream notices.]

My apologies; I did not mean to frighten you.

Apology... [Goes quiet as though he's trying to figure out the word. When he realizes he doesn't know it in English, he bleeps and bloops the Mini-Con language for "accepted".]

[ex_wikipedia788]

I don't think you'll let anyone down. New places are always a little risky, but it'll be worth it, and you'll both have a lot of fun. You'll see.

[uponthehighwire]

I do not think I will either. [High Wire gives a bright little optimistic look.] Though I look forward to the new journey ahead.

[ex_wikipedia788]

Is there anyone you know who'll be there? You know. To maybe take care of you? Or--someone for you to take care of (that happens sometimes too.)

[uponthehighwire]

I... [Here, he gives a few bleeps and bloops as though struggling to find the English words.] ...I think there is.

[He muses for a moment on what his mun told him. Hot Shot will be there, according to his mun.]

A friend. I heard a friend would be there.

[ex_wikipedia788]

[a pause and then he asks] Would it be easier for you to speak in Old Cybertronian? I can do that.

That's good!

[uponthehighwire]

I will be...how do they say? Fine with English. [He pauses and tilts his head a little.] I learn by using this language.

*so much innocent optimism. Oh gag him*

Tch ferget tryin' ter ask nicely.

I wish i could see dis blue stuff, migh be fun ter mess wit from wha' I 'ear.

[uponthehighwire]

[Oh, but didn't you know that was the most endearing trait of the "leader" of the Mini-cons?]

I am not asking nicely. I am just being polite.

[High Wire shifts his position uncomfortably.]

I hear the blue stuff is not good at all.

[huntseverything]

[endearing? he begs to differ. Innocent optimism pisses him off. Except when it makes for good pawns]

Same diffre'nce. Useless all the same


I hear it's pretty damn interestin' what it does ter ya. Better than the durability serum.

[uponthehighwire]

[Too bad High Wire doesn't like to be someone's pawn--even the Autobots' pawn.]

Not the same. [Here he gives a stubborn little look, if that's what one can call the look in his little optics.] I do not ask. I do, then request. [Of course he doesn't quite get that requesting is like asking. He's still more used to Mini-Con language.]

Catch. Always a catch.

[He's not all as naive as he seems. After all, this little guy knows what it's like to see his kind used as pawns and the like.]
