Voice Testin'

[otherisbetter]

Sweetheart, I know you say you've only just picked me up, but I have to disagree. I've always been with you. What kind of Mother would ever leave her sweet baby girl? No, no, this is just the first time we've gone out together, silly! We've always been together, and we always will be, and that's just fine with me!

But, darling, I've been thinking. You know I love you so very much, and I'd never want to upset you, but maybe I should... adopt a few more children. There's so many of them that don't have mothers, and it just breaks my heart.

You don't mind? Oh, you're such a lovely girl! Such a perfect daughter. Make sure you don't get jealous of you new brothers and sisters, though. I'd hate to have to discipline you.

You really like to feed your own ego, don't you?

[Othermother doesn't work on him at all, he doesn't have a mother to replicate and he's really very good at these mind games himself.]

[otherisbetter]

Pardon, dear?

[It's never wise to upset, Mother, dear.]

[shattered_looking_glass]

My mother did not have buttons for eyes or any other grotesqueries.

[You might have hit a nerve there with the whole 'parents' thing.]

[otherisbetter]

Grotesqueries? That's an awfully harsh way of describing my eyes, dear. Besides, I'm not trying to be your Mother. I simply want to be your Other Mother. Everyone has - or should - have one, after all.

[theboywiththebook]

[Oh God, the button eyes, this cheerful disposition, the want to adopt things. Yup, Henry's heard about you on DM, so he's just sort of hanging back, looking more than a bit wary.]

And what do you do with all these kids?

[otherisbetter]

Why, I raise them, silly.

[Oh, hey, little boy. You're looking young, today. Care for a new mother?]

[gothamscop]

[Just. Going to sit here and stare]

[otherisbetter]

[Just smiling back~]

Hello, Robin. Would you like some apple pie? I have some cooling right now.

[lostinthelight]

[And she'll just...stare, for a minute. Because oh Darkness what the hell.]

My mother was bad enough, no need for a replacement, thanks.

[otherisbetter]

But I'm not a replacement for a Mother. I'm an Other Mother. They're two completely different things, Maya dear.

[materialgirl]

Okay, lady, not gonna lie, the button eyes are totally creeping me out.

But hey, if you want more kids, I say take a look at thewake. I'm pretty sure collecting kids is, like, a sport over there.

[otherisbetter]

Not 'lady'. Other Mother, Clover. I'm your Other Mother.

[She smiles, humming to herself as she pulls a box out from behind her back.]

Oh, my, my. I'd love to meet all the children. But, for now, lets focus on you, alright? See? I've got to a little gift. Open it, dear.

[halfspooky]

Uh. Good luck with that.

[She's not setting off his ghost sense, but... well. There's still something off about her.]

Pretty sure your potential kids aren't gonna be too happy about someone trying to step in and be their new parent.

[HE KNOWS FROM EXPERIENCE.]

[otherisbetter]

Step in, replace; why is everyone saying that?

[Despite her grin, there's a sense of passive agression behind her words.]

I'm your Other Mother, not your Mother, Danny. You can be so silly at times.

[ailuruslucidity]

[Does she look unusual in some way? Perhaps, but Pandora is hardly one to judge. Clearly, she is the Maker of Good Decisions.]

Is jealousy toward one's siblings a common feeling? I assumed a family connection would bring greater closeness, not feelings of resentment. Discipline might well be the best way to curb such a problem.

[otherisbetter]

[It's always nice to have a trusting daughter. Suspicion can only be cute for so long before it begins to upset Mother.]

Lots of people get jealous of their siblings. Usually because they're worried their parents will love the other child more than them.

All it takes to fix is some love. And I have plenty of love to give.

[wise_lil_wolf]

[Rafe's empathic powers are picking up a ton of of malicious intentions under that sweet voice.]

What do you want to do that for?

How many kids do you have?

[otherisbetter]

For love. I want to make as many children happy as I can. Why else would I take care of children, Rafe?

[She's just going to ignore that last question.]

[pianokeys]

And we can all be one big happy family. [He's beaming at the thought!

but he knows what you'll do.]

[otherisbetter]

We? You seem to be implying you'll be given a second chance, dear. You know I hate it when you do that.

[Let me sing you the song of her people; the song of passive agression.]

[therosensaint]

Muns are strange, aren't they?

[otherisbetter]

I'd say they can be, dear. But, sometimes, they can be very thoughtful, too.

Your awesome and your username is awesome... (must get to seeing that movie)

[tree_puncher]

Mmm... Any idea why you're giving my mundane the oddest of feelings along with commands of me trying to kill you with 'Flint and Steel' and/or 'Buckets of Lava'?

[While Steve?'s mundane is totally feaked out, the Minecraftian is more neutral and oddly enough has next to no concept of what a Mother is.]

Th-thank-you! ♥ And to be honest, I only saw the movie yesterday >.>

[otherisbetter]

I have no idea, dear.

Oh my, that came out as a rhyme, didn't it?

[She loves her little block son, already.]

Am I too late for this?

[toomanypetals]

...The hell is wrong with your eyes?

You're never too late for some of Mother's love!

[otherisbetter]

Why, Yuu, dear, that's not a very nice way to speak.
