Voice testing an OC, but not one of the MUN'S OCs...

[luckyuncle]

Are you gonna let me talk without interruptions, Ms. Mun? I mean, you've been so busy trying to get answers about me that you haven't, well... let me speak.

[A chuckle.] Yes, I know I'm not one of your characters. You'll get used to me all the same, though. At least, I hope so! ... And hey, at least this way, Aggie has someone to talk to. Whenever I head over to her, anyway.

... No, Ms. Mun, this doesn't mean you get to ask my creator if she'll play one of your characters. Besides, none of your people have a home right now, anyway!

Oh! You know Agatha?

[This puts you in Midori's good list instantly!]

[meaningdies]

Heheh. So you're the uncle I've been hearing about.

[luckyuncle]

Why, yes! Agatha's my niece.

[A bright smile.] Are you a friend of hers?

[badluckhealer]

[!!!]

Uncle, I was...not expecting to hear from you. As it stands, I am well - er, people at Hinoto-Ri are very...social, so...

[Ahem!]

Also, Miss Mun says that the reverse would only be fair, just for the record.

[prettytamer]

Yep! We met recently... in pretty strange circumstances.

[luckyuncle]

Oh? I hope she's been saying good things about me! [A laugh.]

[badluckhealer]

[MIDORI WE ARE NOT FRIENDS HOW MANY TIMES DOES...sigh...]

She was among the people who first welcomed me to Hinoto-Ri when I arrived there.

[meaningdies]

I did see one of her memories with you.

Though I believe we're related - as long as you are who you say you are.

[prettytamer]

[YES WE ARE]

I don't know how to explain Hinoto-Ri very well. I think I confused my friend from home when I tried. Maybe you can do it?

[luckyuncle]

They're not pressuring you to do anything you're not comfortable with, are they?

[Because, seriously, he has no qualms about playing the part of unclepapa bear and keeping you safe.]

Also... it'd be best if you didn't encourage Ms. Mun here. She might have a heart attack.

[badluckhealer]

Aside from socializing, no. I am all right, Uncle.

[.... Well, there's That Guy in the previous thread being himself, but other than that...]

Mundanes are very odd. Mine appears to be screeching, not unlike an agitated parrot.

[aggie no i am not a parrot.]

[luckyuncle]

Hinoto-Ri? [Cluelessness is go!] That sounds like quite the exotic place.

[luckyuncle]

Related? Really?

Well, that's curious. You've certainly got my attention!

[meaningdies]

Well, if Agatha is to be believed, it seems I'm the first of your line.

[prettytamer]

It's a mysterious city on the verge of destruction where we've been called to help save it! There are demons and magic and spirit summoning and it's not as bad as it sounds.

[luckyuncle]

Oh, come on Aggie. Talking isn't so bad, sometimes.

[Seriously, socializing is a necessary thing and you shouldn't be dreading it so!]

... Mine seems to be torn about something. Are you okay, Ms. Mun?

[DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME, CARRY ON seriously I mean it I'M FINE]

[luckyuncle]

"First of"...?

[He couldn't possibly mean...]

... [Okay no, he doesn't seem to like that thought very much at all.] Well. Aggie seems to be making some rather strange friends.

[badluckhealer]

But...We are not supposed to...to socialize, correct? That is the rule, isn't it?

[the rules exist for a reason the rules exist for a reason D8]

Oh? That does not sound good. Is she well?

[Do the gloves have to come off? 8<]

[badluckhealer]

[w/e Midori, w/e. She can't out-stubborn you on this front.]

In summary, it is not unlike home, all told, and yet it's very different at the same time.

[meaningdies]

She and I have been having... differences in opinion in how we approach our respective... restrictions, shall we say?

[luckyuncle]

It's fine to at least make acquaintances, you know. Not every interaction with a person has to be about your duty.

[BUGGER THE RULES, AGGIE >:C]

... She seems hesitant to talk about it, but I wager it's not anything physical.

[WHAT PART OF "DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME" DON'T YOU GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET]

[luckyuncle]

Ah. Well, it still sounds really interesting!

[Because seriously, verge of destruction? WHO FUCKED THINGS UP THAT BADLY??]

It isn't too dangerous for you girls, right? Well, I mean, obviously it's not deadly if you're talking now, but... you know what I mean, I hope!

[prettytamer]

We'll be okay. If anything bad happens I'll help keep your niece safe, so don't worry.

[luckyuncle]

Oh? Just what manner of "differences" are you referring to?

[Jack's very wary of you. Just saying.]

[badluckhealer]

I...am...being made to acknowledge this, yes.

[SIGHHHHH.]

If you say so, Uncle. My mun says she will be willing to listen if need be, though.

[meaningdies]

Well, your family seems to want to just bear it. I, on the other hand, have been fighting back.

[badluckhealer]

[!!!!]

I...am quite capable of - which is to say - um - .... [Head down.] Do not...overdo it, okay, Midori?

[luckyuncle]

Not all of us are content with just sitting around. But change takes time, unfortunately.

[luckyuncle]

Oh, come on, don't sound so down about it.

[And here he pulls her into a spirited hug, smiling warmly.]

... Ms. Mun says "Once she gets things in order, she'll bring it up." Looks like she's made up her mind.

[meaningdies]

How much time, though? And how many of your family must be taught to be passive? You cannot begin to change things if no one starts.

[badluckhealer]

I am not "sounding down" about it-!

[...Gmmph. Hugs. Why uncle hugs. Whyyyy. Fine, fine, she'll put up with it, though there is a little grumbling.]

That is - good to know.

[luckyuncle]

Ah, but someone has started. [A wry, small smile.] It is not unlike a ball of snow, rolling down a hill. Once those first questions are asked -- once one begins to defy their current point of view -- it isn't long before a new opinion is formed.

[meaningdies]

Oh, that I know. But it should have been set in motion long ago.

[Pointed look.]

[luckyuncle]

[Pointed look right back.]

I couldn't control how my sister raised my niece, but I can damn well try to influence her now that she's capable of thinking on her own.

So long as she learns to think for herself instead of relying completely on the family's rules, there's a chance.

[meaningdies]

And that's what I'm trying to teach her. But she's... resistant.

[luckyuncle]

You are to me, missy.

[Hair ruffle time!] Now hey, quit the grumbling! You sound more like an old lady than a 15-year-old doing that.

[luckyuncle]

A decade and a half of the traditional Sheridan way is very hard to undo. Give it time. She's resistant now, but soon enough she'll open up to new ways of thinking.

[meaningdies]

Mm. Hopefully the memories she received from me will help with that.

[luckyuncle]

I'm sure they will. Just... try not to force a change, okay?

[A wide, slightly warmer smile.]

[badluckhealer]

[NO. NOT THE HAIR! AUGH! She flails a little and tries to flatten her hair back down after the ruffling.]

T-that is irrelevant!

[luckyuncle]

It is completely relevant, and you know it.

[A teasing smile curls his lips.]

[meaningdies]

Ultimately the decision to change is hers alone. That's not to say I don't have my own reasons for trying to wake people up.
