Shy muse, voicetesting

[light_em_up]

Well... I'm glad you didn't go with any of the more violent muses. But I can still be dangerous whether I want it or not. And that worries me. People could get hurt if you put me out there. I understand I can't stay on the farm forever, yes, I just feel this is another end of an extreme instead of a happy medium.

As long as you find a place that takes mutants and OCs, I guess I'll trust your judgment. It's all a bit new to me. I hope I'm not going to just take up space in your head. That seems rude of me to do. I'll miss home if I'm away, though. Moving once was hard enough, and I had my family then, you know?

It won't be easy, but sounds like you got a good head on your shoulders.

[light_em_up]

Oh, ah, you think so? Thank you very much, ma'am. I assume you've been here for longer than me, then?

[ex_granola414]

[ grins at being called "ma'am." that's a first. ]

Not long. Can't say mine has as much idea as yours when it comes with what to do with me. I figure it's for the best.

[light_em_up]

Mine is still looking around. It's alright, though. Nobody figures it all out on the first day, I think. I suppose it gives me time to meet people that way.

My name is Parishan. And you are?

[ex_granola414]

Rude. I'm Barbara. It's nice to meet you, Parishan. May I ask what it means?

[light_em_up]

It's Iranian for 'sad' and Azeri for 'solemn'. I don't know which my dad was going for. [She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, smiling briefly.] Um, what does Barbara mean?

[ex_granola414]

Traveler from a foreign land. I hope yours is less prophetic.

...I can be kind of serious. But mostly, he just didn't want me to have some trendy name. I think he overthought it since there were three other boys named Orkhun in our town and he hated that they were 'using his name'. [Air quotes implied with tone of voice. Oh, her dad. Wonderful but dorky.]
