voicetesting

[abitshady]

Mun, while I agree that taking on a challenge is a good idea... would you reconsider using me?

I'd rather not go to a world without my master.

"Master"?! Morgan, are you all right...?

[abitshady]

[The boy seems almost happy to see her for all of a few seconds.]

Huh? Master, are you alri... [Wait. He actually takes a decent look at the woman.] No, you're not... who are you?

[tacticaldisaster]

Wh-- Morgan, I'm your mother.

[This is all kinds of Not Good in Robin's eyes.]

[abitshady]

[The boy's expression flickers... not that it's visible for long before he hurriedly pulls his hood up and looks away.]

No, you aren't.

[tobehiscompass]

Unfortunately, these Mundane Ones tend to do as they please, our wills and wishes be damned. There's a good chance you'll simply have to make do, just as the rest of us.

[abitshady]

I was hoping they might listen if I actually asked.

[Not that the chances seem too good. But maybe this voicetest will fail miserably and he'll get his wish!]

[tobehiscompass]

If only it were that easy. Perhaps it's for the best if you simply play the cards you're dealt for now, child. Luck could favor you in the end, but who's to say?

[abitshady]

...I'll do my best. [Though he'd rather avoid it entirely.] If I must go somewhere, I guess I might be able to learn something new from it, at least.

[It'll only last as long as the mun's interest holds, after all...]

[tobehiscompass]

[A nod.] Does your Mundane One have any intentions to send you to one of these... "games", as they're called?

[abitshady]

I guess that depends on how all these... "tests" go. I think they aren't very confident about being able to get along with me?

[That's... that's the point of this exercise, right? Something like that?

...so he still has hope!]

[tobehiscompass]

But if your Mundane One were to overcome their trepidations... Ah, well, practice makes perfect, as they say. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from being obstinately silent.

[She chuckles a bit.]

[abitshady]

Oh, that's an idea...

[Kongming's conversation partner seems to seriously consider it for a moment.]
