On voice testing a minor OC...

[believes_in_rocknroll]

What do you mean I'm "not even a main character"? It's your writing, isn't it? You could just go ahead and make me a main character. I wouldn't mind.

[A shrug.]

On the other hand, I have things to do. People to see. A show to rehearse for. So make up your mind -- do you really wanna voicetest me, or not?

I wouldn't worry to much about being a side character. I was one for the novella where I was created and then got to have my couple of short stories.

[believes_in_rocknroll]

Good to hear. I'm more interesting than the guys she's writing about, anyway.

[forgottenthief]

I think we all think that. I know I'm more interesting than the Fool, personally.

[believes_in_rocknroll]

And I know I'm way more interesting than a lot of boring detectives doing boring detective work.

[forgottenthief]

What is it that you do?

[believes_in_rocknroll]

I'm in a band.

[forgottenthief]

A musician!

I can't say I know too much about music. My son is a musician but I leave him play what he wishes.

From what I know people in bands do tend to lead a more glamorous lifestyle if they get lucky.

[believes_in_rocknroll]

I wouldn't mind a glamorous lifestyle, but I sure don't have one yet. What does your son play?

[forgottenthief]

Give it time. I'm sure it'll happen. At least if your mun is nice.

He favors the pipe, but he'll play anything.

[believes_in_rocknroll]

She's not nice. Believe me.

He should take up guitar.

[forgottenthief]

What's she done that's so wrong?

I think he might play that... he probably does when he busks.

[believes_in_rocknroll]

You don't want to get me started. Anything that can go wrong does go wrong, around this one.

[forgottenthief]

Sounds like mine. "Does it sound like a really bad idea?" Yes? Do it.

I wouldn't worry about not being a main character. I'm little more than a footnote in the canon my mundane takes me from. You could always be the main character in another story, like I am.

[believes_in_rocknroll]

I'd like that. Maybe I'll have a word with her about it, see if she can't write a little something all about me.

[knightoftheswan]

I hope it works out for you. And I hope you don't end up stuck in an opera.

[believes_in_rocknroll]

If I get stuck in an opera, I'll go nuts.

[knightoftheswan]

[A wry smile from the Knight.]

Truly, there's not much to recommend it.

[believes_in_rocknroll]

Wait, are you stuck in one?

[knightoftheswan]

Not anymore. The opera is over.

I survived, though that's not much comfort.

[believes_in_rocknroll]

Well, I sure hope you never get stuck in another one.

[knightoftheswan]

My mundane isn't sure if I will or not. But apparently I'm guaranteed to feature in a ballet before I die.

[He rolls his eyes. It would be ballet, wouldn't it?]

[believes_in_rocknroll]

A ballet? Okay, you really do have it worse than I do.

[knightoftheswan]

[The mun is just snickering and talking to Lohengrin.]

She seems to think I'm likely through the worst of it and that things will only improve for me. I can't say I like her idea of improvement.

[believes_in_rocknroll]

Sounds like something mine would say. Also sounds like a lot of bullshit.
