voice testing, canon is The Kane Chronicles (aka Rick Riordan's Egyptian series)

Oh no. Don't you dare think of sending me anywhere that isn't right back home! I don't have time for this--in case you've forgotten, I've got a world to keep from being eaten by a giant snake and a brother to keep from blowing his own face off. You haven't even finished the series yet. If you want to send me somewhere else, it's not going to happen for a while. So let me alone, you read those books, and everyone goes home happy. Alright?

[unwearying]

They won't listen.

[eye_of_isis]

I'm stubborn and don't take 'no' for an answer. She'll let me go.

[Or she'll blow something up]

[unwearying]

I'm the same way, and I've gotten shoved into more places than I'd like to admit. I'm dealing with old gods trying to regain strength and take over the world back home, and you think my mun takes that into consideration? Nope.

[eye_of_isis]

I've got an ancient force of chaos to keep down and, as far as she's actually read, a dwarf god driving my brother, our student, and me to Russia. And I thought Carter had bad ideas.

[kerauno]

Dunno, kid, these muns can be pretty devious.

[eye_of_isis]

I'm not saying she's not--though God knows anything she can do isn't half as bad as what I've got to worry about back home--but I also just want to go back to saving the world. Never thought I'd say that, but, well.

[kerauno]

That's what I said! Word for word, almost. My Hunters need me and I can't be running around doing her bidding because - ugh.

[eye_of_isis]

These muns are worse than the gods.

[kerauno]

Don't forget, they can hear you just as much as the Gods can.

[eye_of_isis]

Oh please. I doubt anything they can do is worse than what the gods can do.

[kerauno]

Don't be so sure. They like to inflict emotional pain.

[eye_of_isis]

Can't be any worse than seeing your grandparents possessed by a vulture goddess and a baboon god on your birthday, or seeing your father imprisoned in a golden sarcophagus on Christmas.

[Hopefully the tough front is still working]

[kerauno]

They can make you constantly talk to a guy whose face you want to smash in because he's about to be possessed by an evil Titan lord.


I mean, I've seen some pretty bad stuff in my day. They'll take all that and play with it.

[eye_of_isis]

Yeah, I still don't think they've got anything on possession by evil gods though.
