voice testing maybe most obscure muse... and that's saying something (canon is The Modifyers)

[modifys]

Are you sure you know what you're doing? Because from the rumors I heard I'm not sure if I trust you!

I know you have a lot of ideas about what happened after I retrieved the All-Seeing Eye... and lost that pesky ring... but really, just because Baron Vain said Lacey Shadows was his favorite doesn't mean--
... He's an evil monster! Not to mention a complete manchild. I doubt he's even capable of--
... Even if you think he used to be an ordinary human thief, you don't have any proof of that! It's only a theory!

... [Sigh. She knows it's not working.]

Just... be careful, alright? There's still some people who've only heard of me because of... that person, and I...
[She blushes.]
Look, I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea, alright?!
[HUFF.]

[The T-Rex chuckles, hunkering down slightly before lowering his head so he can speak to Xero more easily.]

Trust me. In my experience, becoming too close to what, or whom, should be your enemy will make for a rocky experience down the road.

[Yeah don't make friends with your lunch is what he's trying to say, in dinosaur terms.]

And what exactly are these....Modifyers?

[modifys]

Oh, I definitely trust you on that.

[Yeah her thoughts on the idea of her nemesis who commands a legion of criminals and thieves, and also happens to be some kind of psychopathic tentacle-vampire thing, being in love with her can basically be summed up as "OHGODWHATNOWHY"]

An elite team of mystery solvers, crime-stoppers, and masters of disguise! I'm Agent Xero, it's nice to meet you, um...

[big_jaw]

Call me Heart.

[He flashes her the toothiest of grins before leaning back.]

I'm not very versed with the ways of man, only just recently learning what humans are...so it's a pleasure to meet you as well.

[Good thing he's not coming from an earlier canon point, or else it would have been a pleasure to eat her instead.]

[modifys]

You didn't know what a human was?
... Guess this really is another universe...

[While the Modifyers have a lot of incredible technology, there was certainly nothing like interdimensional travel. This is still something she's getting used to.]

[big_jaw]

I'm afraid not. ...Why, was I supposed to?

[Heart comes from both another world and another time. Definitely another time.]

[modifys]

... Um, maybe? It depends on where you're from. ... When you're from? Either? ... Both?

[She actually has no idea.]

[big_jaw]

To be honest, I don't think I could tell you and be completely sure I was telling you the truth.

[The dinosaur leans his head down again, sniffing the top of Xero's head.]

You seem like you're from a place vastly different from my own.

[modifys]

[She steps back cautiously. While Heart seems friendly, he's still a t-rex. Those teeth are a little nerve-wracking.]

Probably! Back home I've never met a dinosaur.

[big_jaw]

Well then, I guess we're even.

[He's as surprised to see you as you are to see him, Xero, regardless of talking animals apparently being a thing where you're from.]
