Voice Testing, canon is My Little Pony. Beware of snark

[myhatdisablestraps]

It's about time you did this. It's no fun sitting on my flank thinking of new things to do with my hat. I had to resort to playing hat frisbee with myself. Seriously bo-ring. I like the username you gave me. It's perfectly accurate. I honestly couldn't think of a better name.

But enough about me, let's talk about me. Where am I headed off to? That little jamjar place? What even. I don't even know what a jamjar is, or why I need to go to that voice test you're so insistent about. I already cured my voice.

It wouldn't have happened anyway if Herpy didn't put that ancient cursed straw into my drink.

[Daring Do huffs a little bit.]

That week was awful and I never want to force my students to learn horse code again.

A family's worth more than any treasure any old ruin will have.

She does. Looks a lot like us, too; sky blue coat, rainbow mane and tail, a really fast flyer and apparently one of our biggest fans. You literally can't miss her.

[myhatdisablestraps]

I was only joking about the rainbow flank. Still, I'll have to meet her sometime.

[graynbowdash]

Oh, don't worry; I'm sure you will. It's like they put a tracker on our hats or something.

...They didn't; I checked to be sure.

[myhatdisablestraps]

[Daring blinks. ...Then reaches up and takes her hat off, checking every bit of it. After a while, she puts her hat back on.]

No trackers there. Was she created specifically to hunt me down?

[She has some encounters with a thing named The Assembler.]

[graynbowdash]

(Daring laughs a little.)

Nah, she's just a really big fan, but she's cool to hang out with. Plenty of energy, never afraid of a challenge, not a bad flyer, either...she's kinda like us, but not.

[myhatdisablestraps]

Oh, well, if she's just a fan, then that's okay. I can never have too many fans given the amount of enemies I have.

She sure sounds like me. Us. But does she have a nigh-indestructible hat that can get you out of almost any deathtrap? That's one of the more important questions in the universe.

[graynbowdash]

Nah, that's still our shtick. I've yet to meet anypony else with a hat anywhere near as amazing as ours, so the universe is still in balance.

Thankfully, you don't usually make many enemies in these games. Just plenty of people who usually go "talking pony!!!!!" the first time they meet you;.

[myhatdisablestraps]

Good. We wouldn't want the universe to be unbalanced. Then everyone would have our hat. Ahui wouldn't be able to pull off my hat.

Nopony? Monsters who want to take over the world? Incarnates of evil? Villains on teleporting tricycles? Insane barbers?

[graynbowdash]

I don't think there's anything Ahui can really pull off. Maybe a scarf, but I'd rather not help him put a fashion sense together.

I dunno what it is, but villains aren't all that popular in games. Maybe you get some anti-heroes, but villains...not so much.

[myhatdisablestraps]

Well, what if he- ...No, that wouldn't look good on him... No... Hm. ...You're right. Ahui's hopeless. Oh well.

That's good to hear. It means less death traps.

[graynbowdash]

Eh, nothing lost there.

There's still death traps; they won't go away. It just means less people to steal your stuff after finishing up a dungeon.

[myhatdisablestraps]

Drat. I was hoping to remove death traps entirely from the equation. I've gotten in way too many, I'm not even phased by them anymore. I need to go to Deathtraps Anonymous.

[graynbowdash]

Eh, it's only an addiction when you want to squeeze through deathtraps all the time. You'll be alright.

Besides, those treasures wouldn't feel as valuable if they were so easy to find, right?

[myhatdisablestraps]

Good. Deathtraps are nothing to me. ...Okay, maybe a little bit.

Well, it's more like the longer that goes by without me finding out about them, the more valuable they are.

[graynbowdash]

That's totally alright; occasional traps make those journeys interesting!

...It's when they're back to back that it gets annoying. Seriously, I'm not a big fan of marathon traps.

[myhatdisablestraps]

Yes. That so much. It's like they don't want us to have a small break.

[graynbowdash]

That's probably the point. Anypony without the stamina to make it through those marathons is...

...well, good thing our hat is a durable as it is.

[myhatdisablestraps]

The point can kiss our flanks. I mean, sure, getting out of deathtraps is easy for us, but it's still time wasted. Masra always said I should spend less time skipping out and going after artifacts and spend more time teaching. But I can't help going after those artifacts.

[graynbowdash]

Hey, it's not our fault; if those artifacts didn't want us hunting them down, they wouldn't be so appealing and shiny and valuable. They'd just be yard sale stuff.

[myhatdisablestraps]

[Daring Do throws her hooves up in the air.]

Exactly! And yet nopony else but me and maybe Tabby understand that! They all keep on yelling at me like I'm irresponsible or something!
