voice testing

[killstealing]

Well, now.

Almost got everything set, haven't we?

Guess, it doesn't hurt to test out the old voice.

It's not like we'll be given many second chances where we're going.

[/NARROWS EYES.....]

Would you look who the cat dragged in.

[killstealing]

That'd be you, wouldn't it, Travis?

[rippedoff]

Don't tell me that you were counting on second chances before now.

[Because BLAH BLAH, the life of an assassin, BLAH BLAH.]

But hey, it's about time you woke up; seemed like you were having one hell of a dream last time I saw you.

[killstealing]

Me? No. The player is, though. That's why there's so many chances for a bathroom break.

And that was more like a nightmare. One I'd rather forget.

[rippedoff]

Guess I can't complain about that -- it always is nice to get so many chances at a shower per day.

[Because how the fuck can Travis even take so many shits in a day anyway? Obviously showers are the way to go.]

Heh. You should have seen yourself squirming around. Almost looked like you were some mutt chasing after something. Too bad I didn't get it on camera.

[Because, you know, she was trying to mack on your brother. NBD.]

[killstealing]

I won't be denying that. With all the pieces and the like that we assassins tear through...

[ Not a bad thing, if you know where to stand, anyway. ]

I'm sure you had other things on the mind.

[ For that he's grateful. He's got a reputation to keep, after all. ]

[rippedoff]

Tch, like that matters now.

[Yeah, let's just... quickly move away from that subject. She had her own reputation to repair, after all. So clearly it's better to tease someone else instead.]

I mean, just think of how famous you'd be if I would've gotten that video online. I bet they'd love you in Japan.

[killstealing]

Only problem now is nobody who gets killed where we go will stay dead.

[ Hm. ]

So, why weren't you able to make me famous? Way I see it ... I was out for quite some time.

[rippedoff]

Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. On one hand, I can kill a person as much as I like. On the other, it seems like our business would lose it's luster with the most exciting part of it all removed.

[Her lips tighten at his question. It was humiliating enough to deal with, as it was, and she was not about to start confiding on the brother of the person who turned her down.]

It's-- I was distracted, okay! Uh... that cat of his kept me busy, I guess!

[killstealing]

Isn't any point in it if can't get that thrill.

[ Mild shame to have to agree with her, but he can't doubt that it'd lose its luster. And it isn't like the contract would pay him double or however many times it takes to finally put the target out. ]

I can't believe you. But that's what one gets when they choose Travis as master.

1/2

[rippedoff]

I think that goes for most of us.

[Even if her main objective was to find her father's killer, there was still that bloodthirsty part of her attached to the battling.

And as much as his second remarks irritate her, she had at least grown in the last three years to at least somewhat keep her cool. But even if she wasn't snapping back at him, Shinobu is noticeably looking a little more on edge.]

How does that have anything to do with where I pledge my loyalty to?

[rippedoff]

[But it's cool, it's cool. Because she's just going to insult you back.] But then I guess you wouldn't know anything about people pledging their loyalty to you, would you? The only person who could even put up with you for very long was someone just as intolerable to hang around. And not even that worked out.

[killstealing]

I just don't go all weak in the knees for every idiot that happens by my path.

And I'd watch how ye stalk about her. Ex-wife or no, I still am obligated to defend her honor.

[rippedoff]

What kind of a girl do you think I am? If I went "weak in the knees" for everyone I met... ugh.

[The last person -- people? -- she fought was New Destroyman. Ew, no thanks.]

And hey, you started it first! Not that you have to worry about it, because as I told her, she's not worth the stain on my blade.

[begetsvengeance]

So the true final boss decides to make an appearance. Guess that means the family's all here, huh?

[killstealing]

Yes. Quite the family reunion we have here.

[begetsvengeance]

Like something straight out of the photo albums. You know, only bloodier.

[Jeane shrugs one shoulder, letting a smile creep up her face.]

Anyway, from the sound of things it seems your player has some ideas in store for you. That can't be good.

[killstealing]

When is it ever good? But being is certainly better than not being.

[begetsvengeance]

Eh, life's pretty good when you've got a bunch of monsters on your side who will do whatever you say. Though really, just about anything beats being dead.

Not that people like us ever really die.

[killstealing]

Bunch of monsters you say? Changin' up your battle motif?

And, it'd ruin the game if we did.

[begetsvengeance]

Yeah, it's kinda hard to keep up the assassin business with nerfed powers and a "no death" policy.

Oh I completely agree. Without us, it just wouldn't be much of a game. God knows the fans don't play it just for our brother.

[killstealing]

No death? The hell kind of game are ye?

If they did, I'd be real concerned.

[begetsvengeance]

Route 29. Basically, an entire game dedicated to Pokémon; don't ask.

Same here. He's got his charms, sure, but everyone knows us assassins are the real stars of the show.

[killstealing]

Subject ignored.

Wouldn't be much of a show without us. Especially with those terrible movies that he has. And that being all it'd be about if it were up to him.

[begetsvengeance]

Or Suda could make the entire game about him and his cat. Can you even imagine?
