Voice Test; Probably going to mayfield_rpg

[birdinfro]

I know you're trying to get my voice down and you're eager to jump into it, but can we reconsider this? We've saved the world and I just want to spend some time with Dajh. Been a long time since Nautilus, y'know?

[Small peeps of protest from the vicinity of that magnificent fro.]

Don't worry, I didn't forget you too, baby chocobo.

Anyway, I'm getting too old for this whole 'new adventure' thing. I think the kids can handle it just fine. What do you say? No?

[Sigh.]

Just can't catch a break, can I?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Yeah, leave it to us kids. You old guys need your rest.

[birdinfro]

Hey, I'm not that far gone. I'm still young enough that I don't need a rocking chair yet.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Then you're not too old for adventures, are you?

[birdinfro]

[You've got him there.]

Guess not then. Maybe if it doesn't involve saving the world and getting chased all over the place, I could go for one more run.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Clever pirate is clever.]

Those are the best kind of adventures, yanno.

[birdinfro]

I think one of those is enough for me. Besides, I got my son to keep an eye out for.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

So take him along. Best time to learn, as a kid.

[This coming from a twelve year old.]

[birdinfro]

Not when he's only six.

I think Dajh has had enough adventuring for now too.

[struckbylightning]

What, and leave you out of the action?

[birdinfro]

Had a feeling you'd say something like that. [Just chuckles and shakes his head. He's going to get dragged into things whether he likes it or not, he knows that much.] Just hope it isn't more of that Fal'Cie business again.

[struckbylightning]

Hey, if we could handle a fal'Cie on our own, we can handle ourselves in Mayfield.

[birdinfro]

[Chuckles.] Spoken like a hero. Heh. You haven't caused too much trouble without me, eh?

[struckbylightning]

Not just yet.

[Implying that some trouble might be caused very soon.]

But if you play your cards right, you might show up just in time for the party, pops.

[birdinfro]

Heh. I was wondering where "Mr. Jumps in guns blazing" was. Never a dull moment with you guys.

Guess you need this old man to make sure you kids don't get too reckless.

[fangyunoerba]

You an' everyone else.

[birdinfro]

Isn't that the truth.

If I can't get out of this one, I could go for a break at least.

[fangyunoerba]

Well, don't think that's comin' anytime soon. Betta' getcha guns ready, seems like it's promisin' t'be a bumpy ride. [Fang actually seems pretty unphased by this however.]

[birdinfro]

Almost like our middle name's trouble at this point, isn't it?

[academics]

I don't know... you still seem rather capable to me.

[birdinfro]

[Woah. Last time he checked you were...Still a kid.]

Now I know kids grow up fast, but not that fast.

[academics]

[A slight laugh.]

I can assure you... it wasn't fast at all from my perspective. Time is funny like that.

[birdinfro]

Time is.. You're talking like you're from the future or something like that.

[A pause.] No way. Seriously?

[academics]

You could say that.

But... I thought we were discussing you here. What happened to being the best pilot Cocoon has to offer? [A soft smile.]

/sob haven't gotten far in FFXIII-2

[birdinfro]

Well, last thing I remember is we saved the world and Dajh and me were getting ready to go help out everyone.

Couldn't tell you what I've done since then.

I won't spoil then :D

[academics]

Are you planning to take Dajh with you on this "new" adventure?

[birdinfro]

Not if I can help it. Dajh doesn't need to worry himself over this kind of stuff. He just needs to stay safe and go back to being a kid.

So..If this old man has to go it alone, he will.

[sexyninjaprince]

Just leave it to the young guys, pops!

[birdinfro]

Guess I could. But then who's gonna keep you kids from running headfirst into trouble? [Because Sazh has never done that before. Nope.]

[returntosender]

Mayfield's not that great of a place... No worse than Cocoon though.

[More friends would make Hope's time in Mayfield less lonely, but he doesn't want to put anyone else through the mess that town causes...]

Snow and I have managed without much trouble.

[birdinfro]

No worse than Cocoon, huh? Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.

Heh. I thought trouble was practically our motto before? Can't imagine that guy staying out of trouble.

[returntosender]

[Hope chuckles.]

Yeah-I know. It's sort of a miracle on it's own.

Our marks are removed when we get there.

[birdinfro]

[Chuckles as well. Snow not jumping headfirst into things? That's really something.]

Never thought I'd see the day.

Huh. Is that so?

[returntosender]

Yeah I didn't believe it myself actually when I first saw it. I thought I'd ended up like Vanille and Fang, turned crystal and waking up somewhere and sometime I didn't know.

But we didn't complete out focus so, I figured something at Mayfield is strong enough or stronger than the fal'Cie to be able to remove it... [Just a rambling little fourteen year old here... making observations above his age group.]

[birdinfro]

Something stronger than the Fal'Cie? Looks like we're gonna have our work cut out for us.

[returntosender]

That's for sure.

But if we stick together we might be able to do something.

[birdinfro]

[A nod and a chuckle.]

Who knows? We might just be due for another miracle, right?

[returntosender]

If there's any more for us in store past getting our marks lifted-I'd like to see them!

[birdinfro]

Just gotta hope for the best right? [Haha unintentional pun time!.]

[returntosender]

[He's lived with the name long enough to be pretty good about the puns. So Sazh has earned a chuckle from the teen.]

We'll have to keep going and do what we have to. Miracles or not.

[birdinfro]

[Also gives a chuckle as well.]

That's right. If anything, moving forward is what we're good at.

[brightens]

Now that's just no fair at all! You deserve some time off.

[birdinfro]

[Oh hey you're not a crystal! Sazh is just gonna go with it.]

Exactly!

And I can finally tell Dajh about all the things I've seen.

[brightens]

Right! And it's no good if you two are separated after everything you went through to get back together.

[birdinfro]

It was a long road, that's for sure.

But everything's worked out for the best.

Except maybe this new situation.

[brightens]

You mean the game? I've heard things... About that place.

[birdinfro]

If I'm gonna get stuck there I'm just hoping that Dajh doesn't.

[brightens]

It can't be that bad, right? He could, ah... Play with the chocobos?

[vigilantbro]

Unfortunately that's what muns do. I'm not saying that to be negative, but it's the reality. You might as well prepare for the ride if you know what's coming for you.

[birdinfro]

Yeah... I'm starting to see that.

Almost as bad as the Fal'Cie, let me tell you.
