Voice testing to the max

[bodysings]

Not that I'm not digging the name - mun, was it? - but do you really think you've got the chops to play me?

Well, when it blows up in your face don't say I didn't warn you.

At least finish reading the damn comics. They ended, so get off your ass and canon-review, or whatever you call it in nerd-speak. If we're doing this we're doing it right.

Also, the fuck is up with that "new" version of me? One dimensional much?

Yeah yeah, I'm real grateful you let me curse without covering it up with random symbols.

God, you better not be this needy all the time.

Why bother your mun to do the research. I'd say she's got you down, attitude and all. [ Someone is happy to see Rose. No, really. ]

[bodysings]

[ Oh look! Her least favourite person in the world. ]

Figures you'd show up. He's a he actually. Didn't the comic end at like a hundred issues? He stopped somewhere around #75. It's not a whole lot of work to finish it.

[demigoddess]

If he's serious about taking you on I'm sure he will finish. [ Shrug. ] Then again maybe he thinks his memory from reading it the first time around is good enough.

I'm surprised it took you this long to show up, muns usually go crazy for your type.

[bodysings]

He's always serious. For a couple days. Boys and their fear of commitment, ugh. [ Here Cassie, have an eyebrow raise. ] The dude can't even remember to disarm his alarm before trying to get in the car.

... My type?

[demigoddess]

Oh, you know. The tough as nails, angsty, swears like a sailor, bad tempered, brings all the boys to the yard type.

[bodysings]

Well we can't all fall in love with princesses.

[demigoddess]

I wasn't around before my mun took an unhealthy interest so I guess not.

[bodysings]

Unhealthy interest, huh? Tell me more.

[demigoddess]

I could start with the icons, she's out of control with them, but nothing sticks with me like the fan fiction and mixes. [ It's true, even if she's trying to be aloof about it. ]

[bodysings]

Well, 'least she's motivated. Probably just does it to get a rise outta you. Not that that's hard.

[demigoddess]

No, Rose. You're the only one who does anything to get a rise out of me. [ Pfffff. ]

[bodysings]

Aw, I feel like such a special snowflake now. [ You know just what she likes to hear, Cassie. ]

[demigoddess]

Whatever you need to tell yourself, Rose.

[2ndkidflash]

Their always needy.

Hi, Rose.

[bodysings]

Ugh. Just what I need.

Hey Bart. You look good.

[2ndkidflash]

It's not always bad. [Just most of the time.]

So you're not a fan of the new "you", huh?

[bodysings]

I think I have enough crap to deal with without having a needy bitch messing around with me too. [ So much annoyance right now, Bart. ]

The one dimensional pseudo-lesbian? Not so much.

[2ndkidflash]

Maybe, but you can't really blame your mun. You are pretty awesome. [He knows you are, Rose, but he's still happy to see you.]

My mun hasn't been keeping up with the new stuff. Guess that might be a good thing.

[bodysings]

Hah! Alright, when you put it that way I guess I kinda get. Still doesn't mean I like being messed with though.

Mine just reads other people's rants and the odd few pages here and there. [ Here Bart, have a shoulder punch. ] Dunno how much they could mess you up though. You're pretty freaky to begin with.

[plains_hunter]

I can't tell whether it's a blessing or a curse that I haven't shown up in this "new universe" yet.

[bodysings]

Depends. You like having your personality flushed down the toilet?

[plains_hunter]

I pretty much already had that happen, and had to rebuild a lot of cred. I don't want to start over, again.

[bodysings]

Well, I'd call it a curse then. Seriously, the fuck is up with "new" me and all the psuedo-lesbian shit? Is she or isn't she? Its not like anyone actually cares. Batwoman plays on that team, no one kicks up a fuss about her. Fucking writers, I swear.

[plains_hunter]

You'd be surprised how many people still care, unfortunately.

[bodysings]

Sexually repressed. Seriously, if she's hot, what's the deal? [ Someone is possibly missing the point of the whole debate. ]

[flyingg]

The new versions of almost everyone seem... problematic.

[bodysings]

Except Batwoman. The fuck is up with that, seriously?

[flyingg]

Badly selective memory? I'd say always the redheads, but that is not necessarily the case...

[bodysings]

Not even. Could be worse though. Least they didn't turn me into a Starfire.

[flyingg]

Yeah, thanks, bring up people I'm worried about, why don't you? *it's a tease (mostly), and his face is reflecting that. Must be Dick Grayson to say what you mean and not leave yourself open by it.*

But, really, a lot of the things they did? Completely uncalled-for.

[bodysings]

Hey, I'm not the one turning your ex into a total bimbo. [ Seriously, what is going on with those writers? ]

Like new you's radical costume change. "Ooh I'm all red now, I'm a badass!" [ Because that worked out so well for you last time. ]

[flyingg]

Hey, she's actually been a total hardass the last few issues! But, yeah, more or less...

The red? Stupid idea. I outgrew the plumage and Nightwing's supposed to be part of the night.

*beat.* No offense, with the red. Just not for me.

[bodysings]

I don't pay attention. The mun's a little purist. Refuses to touch the "new 52." Brat.

Well new you must be part of the fabulous night. Night-on-the-town-wing. [ Smirk. Remember her awesome wisecracks, Dick? ]

Gotta hand it to her, new me's new outfit is bad ass. The hair's gorgeous too. Missing the mask though and the eyepatch.

[flyingg]

Yeah, mine meant to do the same thing. But there is the brat, and his story simply continues, and she can't let it go, and while she's at it... the rest of us get to learn this and that, too.

*remember Damian, Rose? THAT brat.*

Hah. My mun thinks it's more a Batboys-hit-the-city look. I mean, Robin, Red Robin, Red Hood... and blue Nightwing apparently doesn't fit the ensemble? I'm all for troupe looks - but.

*lipstwitch* Glad you're mostly satisfied, then.

[bodysings]

Mine'll probably cave soon enough. Not really the poster boy for willpower over here. The dude'll read anything if the art's good.

[ She happens to like that brat, Nightwing. Assassin babies gotta stick together. ]

What, did Batman start dressing like Carmen Sandiago while I wasn't looking? Since when does red scream "Bat Fam?"

Don't get me wrong, still a total plank personality-wise but damn am I easy on the eyes.

[flyingg]

It kind of gets to a point when it becomes the only place to get further stories. Even if they don't exactly make much sense.

*Oh, Dick likes the brat just fine. One of the first to really care for the boy, and not only in words (and he knows how THAT goes, Dick Grayson rescuing assassin babies from their parents...) - but Damian is still a brat?*

I said Batboys, didn't I? Batman is still in black, gray, and - occasionally - yellow. Works for him. And I guess since the Robin costume and the red tunic?

*softly, but with not even a trace of a leer.* That you are.

[bodysings]

He hasn't even finished reading the old stories. I think he can make it at least a year with catching up on everything that he missed.

[ Yes, unmistakeably still a brat. It goes with the territory. You don't really study under one of the world's greatest assasin's and come out without a bit of an ego. Though in her case they use a different B-word to describe it. ]

Sorry, can't get my eyes off the wrinkly face on Todd's helmet. [ Because seriously, what the heck is up with that? ]

Hah! Did you just say something nice to me, Nightwing?

[flyingg]

Well then, you have a year of relative peace. Sort of. As much as any of us get peace.

[Shh, Dick would totes call Rose a brat. Some days.]

It's kind of special, our Jay, isn't he?

Am I that bad with positive reinforcement? Man, turning into Batman, right there.

[bodysings]

Nope. He's done with my stories. He just wants to read all the rest of the universe's up until it resets. Such a nerd.

[ That's because Dick is a man with a sense of humor. ]

Why a wrinkly face? Like some kind of Freudian fascination with aging or something?

Well the whole throwing me a Geiger counter to tell me my dad was poisoning me with Kryptonite was kinda a Batman move.

[flyingg]

Nerds are... better than people who prefer ignorance. I think. *says a minor nerd.

And, well, yes. Also his standards for the other B word are set pretty high, thanks.*

I think they were going for emulating an actual face. In a way that doesn't quite go into Red Skull territory, since that is sort of a Captain America thing. Rogue. Whatever. The wrinkly face part was a side effect.

Would anything else have worked?
