How long does the awkward voicetesting phase last?

[gunslingerguy]

I don't care if the bloopers are the 'most hysterical thing ever' and if you're 'struggling to remember' my Southern accent. You are not allowed to rename my journal pushintoalabama, hittennessee, wellhowdyyall or anything else my actor said.

Your mom is Southern. Get her help or canon review if my accent is really a problem. It's barely even there anyway.

Why don't you do something useful like get Sierra here? I miss that AI somethiin' fierce right about now. At least he didn't actively mock me.

P.S. Quit spamming the Channel Awesome tag!

Really? Then I'm gonna have to make you TWO Welcome Cupcakes!

[Slooooooow headtilt. He's sad now. Cupcakes aren't supposed to make people SAD!]

...or would it be better if I made you a Welcome Pie? I used to do that for Maes...

[gunslingerguy]

To be honest, I've been on synthetic food so long I'm not sure if I'll be able to eat anything sugary without throwing up. But this is fine. I appreciate the gesture, I do, it's just - unexpected, is all.

[He takes a small bite off of it and tries not to hide the obvious system-shock, but it's a big step up from the normal fare.] It's good. Thank you.

[sailorlaughter]

Oh! Twilight says that when I'm around, the only thing you can expect is the unexpected! Isn't that great?

You're super-duper welcome! [Good job, Jaeris, she looks quite proud of herself.] And don't you worry, your Auntie Pinkie Pie's gonna TOTALLY make sure you get used to eating all sorts of good food again! I mean, how else are you gonna have a slice of cake at the next party?

[gunslingerguy]

'Auntie' Pinkie Pie? I'm pretty sure I'm older than you, not the other way around. [He nibbles, but the foreign taste of red velvet makes him almost reluctant to swallow. Normal eating habits are a distant memory.] I think if I got invited to a party, though, I'd just stand around in the back somewhere. The last party I was... I don't remember, but a while ago.

[sailorlaughter]

That's okay! As long as you're having fun!

[gunslingerguy]

I don't really do fun. I survive. I eat. I sleep - badly. That's about it.

[sailorlaughter]

[GAAAAAAAAASP]

But that's AWFUL! You need an EXTRA-big dose of fun, stat!

[gunslingerguy]

You're pretty invested in my wellbeing for someone I met just today.

[sailorlaughter]

Do you know what'll HAPPEN if you reach Critical Fun Failure? DO YOU?

[She pauses, hoof to her chin.] Neither do I...but it'll be baaaaaaaaad. You might even turn into Nighthuman Moon!

You wait right here - I'm gonna have to go get the bouncy castle.

[gunslingerguy]

I'd try to shoot myself, probably. What the heck is Nighthuman Moon? I'm not even human, just human-looking.

[sailorlaughter]

[Well that's one small pink pony that looks mildly traumatized.] That's even WORSE!

[And for that, you are getting your arm grabbed by a pair of surprisingly strong hooves, which promptly drag you into the nearest bouncy castle. Was the castle there before? Probably not, but dear_mun and Pinkie Pie are not known for their logical behaviors.]

[gunslingerguy]

What exactly do we do in this thing? [He looks at the bouncy castle in confusion.]

[sailorlaughter]

WE BOUNCE!

[Like she's doing. Right now. Off all the walls. Jaeris, what is your life?]

[gunslingerguy]

[His life pretty much suchage, actually, but he's not about to admit to that. Gingerly, he removes his hat so it won't fall off in there and his boots so they won't pierce the bouncy castle's material.

You know that lame ass half-bounce people do when they're totally lost on how bouncy castles work? That'd be Jaeris, right now.]

I'm having trouble believing this is a thing that's happening... xD

[sailorlaughter]

[Noticing his difficulties, Pinkie stops bouncing, ricochets a little more until the momentum runs out, and then hops lightly over to his side.]

Nonononono. You've gotta BOUNCE! Like THIS! [She jumps with all her might, right next to him. Have fun keeping your balance, buddy.]

This is awesome. As is everything with Pinkie Pie.

[gunslingerguy]

GAH! [Jaeris goes flying, and to his credit he manages to roll upon landing, but the momentum has him bouncing into the wall of the castle, and then he's doing a sort of off kilter handspring to keep himself from crashing because basic battle instincts outweigh the 'fun' of the harmless castle.

What's truly remarkable, as he goes flipping, rolling and falling around the damn thing, is that he does manage to smile. And laugh. It's rusty, like he hasn't done it in forever, but there it is.]

Well, she's now two for two on "Befriending AT4W Villains" xD

[sailorlaughter]

[And instantly Pinkie is the happiest pony on earth.]

YEAH! That's it!



(( Back before Vyce was confirmed for a Pollo-murdering asshat, she met one on d_m and managed to get him to promise to play Pin the Tail on the Pony with her once he was done with the whole Entity-slaying thing. It was kinda hysterical. xD ))

Can I get a link to the Vyce thing?

[gunslingerguy]

[He crashes into her and instantly cringes, pulling away.] Sorry, sorry... are you okay?

[He may be petting her hair. A little.]

[sailorlaughter]

[It's okay, she's still giggling! And leaning into the petting a little.]

No worries! I'm doing great!



(( HA FOUND IT All the way back on LJ, even. xD ))

ILU <333

[gunslingerguy]

I can see why 90's Kid likes you. You ain't bad, Pinkie. Of course, it could just be that I'm not around too many people... [He's totally petting her now, smiling at how soft her hair is. A part of him wonders if he'd ever get to have a daughter, a thought he pushes away by focusing the cheerful bundle of pink he's crashed into.]

[sailorlaughter]

Awwwww, that's too bad.

[She's genuinely sorrowful for a second but, being Pinkie, quickly moves on.]

But don't worry! There'll be LOTS of people on the Satellite! Welllll, maybe not if you come soon, right now it's just Dr. Forrester, Frank, Vanitas, and Selphie. But all of them except Vanitas are really nice, and me and Minako are gonna sneak up in a few days! You'll make TONS of friends!

[gunslingerguy]

I doubt it. I never was the social butterfly kind of guy. But I guess that's what you're there for.

[sailorlaughter]

Yep! And even if you don't make LOTS of friends, you'll make SOME. And that's just as good!

[gunslingerguy]

Yeah, you're right. [He pauses, but then decides hey, what the hell.] Can I braid some of your hair and put beads in it? It'd remind me of home and I... well, honestly I am right sick of being homesick.

[sailorlaughter]

Sure! [She giggles a little.] If you can! Rarity says my mane is "absolutely impossible to work with!"

[Yes, that last part was delivered in a pretty decent imitation of Rarity. You don't know her, Jaeris, but she totally does talk like that!]
