voice testing 101

[decayingheart]

The puppeteer has now become the puppet, hasn't she? Pathetic. How did I allow a comely child such as yourself to gain control of my strings, hm? Honestly I must be losing my touch lately.

Nevertheless I suppose I can tolerate your presence for the time being. Now what's all this about sending me somewhere? I have a right to be a tad curious, don't I?

We'll speak further on this later.

[deathperceivingeyes]

You remind me of someone...

[decayingheart]

Do I? I suppose I should be flattered.

[deathperceivingeyes]

You remind me of a psychopathic killer vampire. I don't think anyone would be flattered when faced with that kind of comparison.

[material_guy]

Getting sent somewhere? Not like you not to be the one giving orders 'n directing everything...

[slave_number_23]

[ Who are you and why are you so creepy. Seriously. Staring warily with wooden broom in hand like the socially inapt slave he is.

Lady, you creep him out. So many bad vibes. ]

[decayingheart]

My word is absolute, Greed. Never doubt that. Even if I am destined to be stringed along by this harlequin, I'll certainly find a way to cut my ties to her eventually.

[gonnatakeyouhome]

Uwa! It must be exciting to finally get a home~

[decayingheart]

[ Oh, what's this? Has this mysterious young man taken a liking to her? She's almost flattered. ]

...Yes?

[material_guy]

Cutting ties and letting go's never been one of yer specialties.

[decayingheart]

Oh but you're wrong, dear child. I'm quite pleased to hear that I remind you of someone you clearly fear.

[decayingheart]

Exciting? Well I suppose that it is...

[deathperceivingeyes]

You can't fear someone who's dead and never coming back.

[decayingheart]

While you never been the one to learn from your past mistakes. Must I remind you to show some respect?

[decayingheart]

The "impossible" can always become "possible".

[deathperceivingeyes]

His death was absolute. The end for him. He had reincarnated himself numerous amount of times to try and escape death, but I made sure that this death was the last. In this case, the 'impossible' stays 'impossible.'

[material_guy]

It doesn't matter much what I do, does it? Once you set your sights on something, you're merciless...

[slave_number_23]

[ It's more like you remind him of the head slaves who liked their positions and power over the others, and the more callous masters who were overly fond of well-whipped human property. Dante's got that aura about her.

So, wary caution is the game plan here. Twenty-Three really doesn't want to talk to you, actually; his mun made him. ]

Is it really that clever of an idea to insult the one who controls your life, ma'dame? Your mistress is the one who decides whether you live or die in this place.

[decayingheart]

You seem to know me quite well sometimes but alas, you barely know me at all.

[material_guy]

I think you liked it that way.

[decayingheart]

Even the most uneducated scholars know that death is not absolute, that is if you possess the right charms to keep it at bay.

[decayingheart]

You sound nostalgic.

[material_guy]

I'm more forward thinking than that. S'why I left, right?

[decayingheart]

...Now you're simply testing my patience.

[deathperceivingeyes]

Death is the end of all living things. I don't want to elaborate too much, but I possess the ability to make an absolute death. One that reincarnation cannot avoid, and one that bypasses regeneration.

[decayingheart]

Do not misunderstand, this fool holds no control over me.

[ She gives the lowly slave a steely glare. ]

You would do well to remember that.

[material_guy]

I lasted 140 years. You're too proud to lose to me in less than 14 minutes.

[decayingheart]

Really? Color me intrigued, young man, but what is your name?

[deathperceivingeyes]

Shiki Tohno.

[decayingheart]

Who says that I would ever lose to you in the first place, Greed?

[slave_number_23]

I don't think I'm mis-misunderstanding anything, ma'dame. She does.

[ You're not his Master, you're not an Xerxian, and you're a foreigner, so he feels self-confident enough to glare back with the mild-mannered temper of someone who refuses to be cowed. ]

Otherwise, why would you bother to speak to her on any matter? Fool or not, she has the final say in your existence now.

[material_guy]

In a patience game?

...No, y'know, somehow I don't wanna challenge you to somethin' like that, either...

[decayingheart]

Oh, what's this? You've lost your nerve already? Well as usual you talk "big" but always seem to think "small".

Whether it's a contest of wit or a contest of might, I will always reign over you.

[material_guy]

You're definitely smarter. I'll give you that.

[notrueking]

Well, I can't really say anything, other than that some places are better than others.

[even if they all piss him off.]

[decayingheart]

You don't sound very impressed, dear.

[notrueking]

[...how... do you know him...]

That's not really unusual, as it takes a lot to impress me.

[decayingheart]

Quite true but I hoped there would be at least some place that could appease you. After all, you are my pride and joy.

[ He's not who she thinks he is, is he? ]

[notrueking]

[always the best part of cross-series interaction, man]

It's not entirely terrible; however, there are some things that-

[wait what]

...excuse me...?

[decayingheart]

Hm?

[ Why is he staring at her as if she grown an extra head? Dante knows she's quite eccentric at times but he looks like he's utterly baffled by her. ]

Did something go awry with our previous plans, Pride? I trust you've killed that irritating upstart by now.

[notrueking]

...ah.

[it sure is convenient knowing 2003!envy!]

I'm afraid I'm not the "King Bradley" you know.
