voicetesting, muse is reluctant

[lucanus]

Surely you knew beforehand that you should not expect to hear much from me, woman. I won't have you send me to one of these "games" either.

....

I have nothing more to say to you, away from me.

[giancarlo]

'Away from me'? A little old-fashioned there.

[lucanus]

... From what I have gathered so far, the world I come from is by no means "modern" relative to here. So yes, I suppose by that logic I would be old-fashioned.

[giancarlo]

I'm not judging you or anything. ..but I hear 'away from me' and I lose it.

[lucanus]

I fail to see how this concerns me. I honestly cannot be bothered to care that you find the way I speak amusing.

[giancarlo]

Oi. You don't have to be an asshole about it.

[reactivate]

Lon'qu?

[lucanus]

You should perhaps reexamine your own tone before you criticize me for being curt with you.

[lucanus]

... Olivia.


Is there something you need from me?

[reactivate]

I- [Well, she's concerned about him, but she isn't sure how to express that.] No, I'm fine, thank you.

I'll let you be if you want to be alone. I hope your mundane is kind to you, though. You deserve at least that much.

[giancarlo]

Hey, hey. It's all in good fun. You don't have to get serious.

[lucanus]

I don't really do "not serious."

[giancarlo]

So what do you "do"? Apathetic? Lone warrior? The stoic guy with a secret soft side?

[killerrabbit]

It seems to me that while we may wish otherwise, it is ultimately the will of the mundane that decides for us what we will or won't do.

If she wishes to send you somewhere, we have little say to the contrary.

[Why yes, that is a samurai bunny talking to him.]

[lucanus]

It's... alright. Your concern is appreciated.

She seems nice enough, save for some rather odd inclinations to make things needlessly upsetting.

[lucanus]

... That does not concern you.

[The answer is yes, all of the above.]

[giancarlo]

[bingo!]

Never said it did! It's merely an observation. Your pause was awful long, though.

[lucanus]

[He'd find her more odd but she doesn't look that different from the taguels so it's not all the surprising.]

... I see.

It would seem in that case it would be wise to curry their favor if at all possible, in order to escape any malicious intent they may have.

[killerrabbit]

[Funny, someone else called her a Taguel not long ago, too.]

...I'm not sure if bribery would be overly effective, all things considered.

[lucanus]

[Lon'qu doesn't like where this conversation is headed.]

What of it?

[lucanus]

I was not intending to try. Her currency is different from mine in any case. I simply meant perhaps I should consider being more.... couteous towards her.

[He does not seem too wild about this idea.]

[giancarlo]

Huuuua, are you really a secret softie?

[killerrabbit]

I do not think I could stand playing the sycophant. Can you?

[lucanus]

Tch. Of course not. A true warrior cannot afford to be soft-hearted.

[lucanus]

Certainly not. I will have to rely on the unrealistic amount of affection she already harbors towards me, in this case.

[killerrabbit]

The more she likes you, the more likely you are to be sent to one of those games you want to avoid.

On the other hand, it may help mitigate the torment these mundanes appear to enjoy inflicting upon us.
