Voice Testing - Spoilers in Comments - Past Deucalion

[solittlefaith]

Wouldn't you call this 'jumping the gun'? There is so little known about what you refer to as my 'past self'. How could you possibly have picked up enough to play me? I'm not objecting, merely being the voice of reason.

Well, if you're dead-set on this, then I wish you the best of luck. I will do what I can to guide you. Maybe you'll surprise.

You don't need luck, you need a muzzle.

[solittlefaith]

Isn't that a bit cliché, even for you?

[gravedigs]

Wow. Okay. So this is going to be pretty weird for a lot of people.

[solittlefaith]

Is it? Would I truly be condemned for sins I have yet to commit?

[gravedigs]

That's really going to depend on who you talk to. [ Scott? Probably not. Derek? Oh, yeah. Definitely. ]

[solittlefaith]

[Considers this for a moment.] What about you? Am I correct to assume you would judge me for who I am, not what I will become, seeing as how you are speaking to me now?

[gravedigs]

You kinda scare the crap out of me. [ So Isaac would really like to not be on his bad side. ] But, uh, yeah. I can try?

[solittlefaith]

[Lightly chuckles.] I mean you no harm. However, I would not wish to make you uncomfortable with my presence, if such is the case.

[gravedigs]

[ Hesitates, for a second. ] No. I mean, you're not lying. [ He taps a finger over his own heart, indicating that Deucalion's didn't miss a beat. ] Are you going to a game or something? Or just sticking around places like... this?

[solittlefaith]

[Smiles, clearly impressed such a young wolf thought to pay attention to his heart beat.] Impressive.

I believe I am, but she has yet to fully decide on one. The only game my mundane is familiar with, she already has young McCall, so I would need to find a different home. Is it against the rules to ask for suggestions?

[gravedigs]

[ Oh no Isaac ducks his head automatically, trying not to look as pleased as that makes him. Flattery will get you everywhere, because no one ever bothers to flatter Isaac and he needs it. ] It's not- I mean, it's pretty basic. [ A pause. ] Thanks.

Well, mine just sent in an application to paradisa today. There's not going to be anyone else we know there, though. I don't know if that's a dealbreaker for your mun or anything.

[solittlefaith]

Perhaps, but you would be surprised how often the basic skills are forgotten or overlooked. Especially one as useful as lie detection.

It's possible. She seems somewhat intimidated by the idea, but the premise appears to have intrigued her enough to warrant deeper consideration.

[coldsteelblue]

Aren't you the least bit worried about meeting your future self?

[solittlefaith]

It would be interesting, to say the least.

[He inclines his head slightly.]What about you? Would it make you anxious to encounter your future self.

[coldsteelblue]

Don't think that 'interesting' is the word I'd use.

[He shrugs in return. I don't know that I'd even want to from what I know about him...me. We're so cold now.

[solittlefaith]

Interesting to see how I've changed. [Because, from what he's heard, he's changed quite a bit. Not for the better.]

You could give him a chance. Perhaps seeing you again, after so long, could possibly remind him of what it means to be warm.

[coldsteelblue]

[He scoffs.] Yeah and the why? You think that'd be just as interesting, too?

Somehow, I doubt that. I mean, would you really expect your future self to change after everything you've heard about him?

[solittlefaith]

I will admit, it would be interesting. But I would rather not know what changes me into a beast.

No. [Simple answer. Here's the extended version,] But your future self seems to be far more reasonable than mine, wouldn't you agree? Have some faith in yourself, Derek Hale.

[coldsteelblue]

You mean your mundane hasn't filled you in on that part, yet?

[Derek considers that a moment, a half smile appears.] Maybe you're right. But then maybe you're wrong. Guess I won't know until it actually happens, huh.

[solittlefaith]

She has made absolutely certain to cut off my knowledge just before I decide to meet with Gerard Argent. I can only presume it has something to do with that meeting.

Fair enough. You might be pleasantly surprised.

[coldsteelblue]

Oh... Lucky you. My mun has been very...informative on all events taking place between now and the future. [Sigh.] Never thought I'd ever say it, but ignorance really is bliss.

[solittlefaith]

I believe she fears losing me to my more sinister variation, despite assuring her of the contrary.

[coldsteelblue]

Nah, she's got nothing to worry about. You, this you, have a good head on your shoulders.

[solittlefaith]

Bright young lad. That is exactly what I've been saying, but she feels it best to keep it from me.

[coldsteelblue]

Welp. She can't really keep it from you forever, now can she? You're bound to be exposed to the truth sooner than later.

[mamahale]

From what I've seen, my mundane tends to be a bit... excitable. I wouldn't doubt it to be a trait common among others.

[solittlefaith]

Excitable? That sounds accurate. But such is youth.

You look well, Talia.

[mamahale]

I suppose we could be in worse hands. Or heads.

So do you. For what it's worth, I'm glad that yours chose to play you as you are.

[solittlefaith]

This is very true.

She seemed to be under heavy debate as to which 'me' she desired to portray. However, coming from you, the sentiment carries quite a bit of weight.

[mamahale]

I haven't met your future-self, but I've heard a great deal about what you've been up to.

[Of course, she has no future-self of her own to speak of. If it weren't for the loss of the rest of her family that night, she would say that she prefers her own fate.]

[solittlefaith]

I feel the need to apologize for him... or 'me'? How does one refer to their future self? [Especially when they don't want to become that future self, so would rather not relate to them.

As if sensing the mood, he looks away.] I'm sorry.

[mamahale]

I'm not entirely sure... I suppose it could depend on the path that the you of here and now decide to follow. If you go to a place where the series of events that happened to the future you will never occur, then you would likely turn out to be a different person entirely.

[She does get the sense that he would rather avoid the fate of his future counterpart, so hopefully her words are somewhat encouraging. In her own case, being here makes it so that she is able to still see her family, as strange as it is seeing them grown.]

Being here, I think, is a chance for all of us to live lives we wouldn't have had at home.

[twinsformer]

At least ours decided the bandwagons were full and found less crowded ones.

[solittlefaith]

I do believe the 'bandwagon' is quite sparsely populated, here. And, which one are you again?
