First time in an RP community, voice testing, needs lots of practice OTL

[burntviolet]

Uhm... [Fidgets slightly]

T-Thank you for... choosing me as your f-first muse...

I don't think that... I'm the best choice to start... b-but... with some practice, you might be able to get my voice right... we have p-plenty of time to practice... Please, don't push yourself t-too hard...

Hello fellow newbie! XD

[tree_puncher]

[here have a random block dude.]

Hi... Mun sent me here, cause he's new at this thing too. And figures us talking to eachother might help us both with our voices.

[Steve? then looks to the side with disinterest about this whole thing.]

Hello, I'm as scared as Hanako right now lol

[burntviolet]

H...Hi... [Hides the scar on her face with a hand]

It's alright, I don't bite. And Steve? can't...

[tree_puncher]

[Social Awkward interaction are GO!]

So... Um... Ah... Yeah... I got nothing...

[Mun gives Steve? a suggestion.]

Ok, mun, I'll try that... Well, how are you???

Haha

[burntviolet]

I'm... I'm okay, th-thank you. And... how are you?

[It's starting somewhere...]

Canon is Minecraft... It's a video game, a really fun one.

[tree_puncher]

I'm good... Um... Name's Steve? by the way.

I must be one of the few who never played it XD

[burntviolet]

Steve...? [The way he spoke his name is kind of weird, but Hanako's not the kind of person who would point out such things]

My n-name is... Hanako... Hanako Ikezawa.

[blindleadingtheblind]

Mm... It is quite like you to worry over a mun, Hanako.

[burntviolet]

Lilly... I-I'm just trying to do my best to help her... [She smiles when she sees her friend]

[blindleadingtheblind]

I know. It's very kind of you, Hanako, to do so.

[burntviolet]

Thank you Lilly... it means a lot for me to hear that from you...

[blindleadingtheblind]

Mm... It seemed like you needed to hear it.

You're going to do just fine, Hanako. You and your mun.

[the_burnt_one]

[A girl with an almost identical pattern of burn scars. Aside from darker skin they do look quite similar.]

Ah...greetings.

[burntviolet]

[Hanako is surprised to see another person with burn scars over her face. She tries not to let it overwhelm her]

G-Greetings...

[the_burnt_one]

I'm Therru. Are you from Emi's academy?

[burntviolet]

Emi... Emi Ibarazaki? I-In that case... yes, I'm from Yamaku Academy...

[seventeenpills]

Hey, Hanako! It's good to see you. I hope you and your Mun enjoy each other's company, too.

[burntviolet]

Thank you, Hisao... we're starting to enjoy ourselves... a bit... [She smiles tentatively]

[seventeenpills]

That's good! That's what places like this are for, from what I understand.

I think you're both doing just fine.

[burntviolet]

That's...good. I'm glad to know that we're doing everything right...

[seventeenpills]

I'm sure your Mun is happy too.

Were they looking at any games in particular? Mine hasn't put me in one yet.

[moveyourdeadfros]

[Sometimes, we could all use a helping hand. Someone who can ease us into the first, uncertain times in a new place.

Hanako receives an eight foot tall walking skeleton with a GIGANTIC afro. Because that is how this crazy place rolls.]

Ah, nonsense my lady. I am certain that you and your mundane shall be enjoying yourself in a game in no time at all~.

[burntviolet]

........

[A tall. Skeleton. With an afro... Towering over her. Hanako's jaw would have dropped if she wasn't already paralyzed by the unnatural appearance of that... man. Well, what remained of him. One thing is to listen to a cubic guy's shenanigans, another is to see such creatures in flesh and bones. More bones than flesh in this case]

Th...Th-th-thank you...?

[moveyourdeadfros]

[If she worries that her stunned silence will offend him (hardly likely), she worries in vain. He doesn't even seem to notice it, and instead simply sits down at a nearby table and pours himself a cup of tea from a thermos. A thermos with a festive afro-adorned skull on it.]

Oh, think nothing of it. I am simply speaking from experience- many are the people I have met in this place with nervous outlooks and worried minds, fearing and fretting that their first adventure would not be a succesful one. But just as it is with all things in life, once they took that first plunge and experienced the worlds for themselves... they found it to be a far more pleasant ordeal than they ever thought possible.

Would you like a cup as well?

[burntviolet]

[Hanako stares on, struggling not to mind his appearance and instead listen to his words of experience. Her eyes move on the table, and the thermos, and the tea. She could use some of it for her dry mouth, but she's not sure she'd bear to sit anywhere near the person. He's being nice, though...]

I-I hope it's true f-for us... my mun had been watching this big place for a long time... almost a year, she says. B-but the negative side of it always held her back...

[moveyourdeadfros]

I see... ah, if it is not too intrusive to the two of you, would you mind telling me what some of her concerns might be? That is, unless you find it too nosy of me...

Not that I can be very nose, since I no longer even have a face! YOOHOHOHOHOHO!

[While the tea IS in fact perfectly servicable, no one could blame her for being apprehensive. For all his friendliness, spending over fifty years all alone on a drifting boat as an undead skeleton, surrounded by the remains of his former comrades had... resulted in Brook developing some rather off-putting idio-syncracies to maintain sanity.]
