n-nervous voice test.

[faeth]

Eh-heh, so sorry, but this is entirely new to me, too...

But! Don't! Let that get you down, Mun! I mean it -- because really, isn't this exciting? There's no need to be so anxious when you can just sit back and realize how much potential all of these possibilities hold for us! I've never really sat down to get used to Al Gore's invention, but! But! Just look at all of this: the knowledge at your fingertips, the ability to imprint those m-e-a-m-s, the cats, the solitaire! (But with great power comes great responsibility! Don't let Aunt May down, now!)

See?! There's nothing to fear but fear itself. I say we just get right to it, grab the bull by the horns. Grab the Nutella! Grab the raisins and mayo! We've got a new frontier to explore!

[amiannoyingyou]

What a great attitude! Just don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it!

[faeth]

Oh, yes! The talking paperclip has been ever so gregarious and generous with his -- her? -- help! [ and oh my goodness, speaking of talking paperclips, what is this intriguing robot creature? ]

[amiannoyingyou]

I don't think I've ever heard of a talking paperclip. [A rival appears?] My name's Omochao, and I do the tutorials around here!

[faeth]

Aah! How wonderful! Is this what they mean by a video game tutorial? Like "press x to jump!" or something like that? Oh, this is wonderful! If I press circle-square-x, will you take me to your leader?

[amiannoyingyou]

I don't think I have a leader. Unless you're talking about my mundane!

[faeth]

Wow, neat. Is her head a spaceship?

[amiannoyingyou]

Hey! I'm no alien, silly! And my mun isn't a girl, either. But it's okay, he's not mad at you!

sob sorry sorry ;A; !!!!

[faeth]

... ! Ah, oh no, I'm so sorry! [ EMBARRASSMENT. and then a thousand (and one!) bows of her head. ] Please forgive me, I didn't mean to act [ bow ] so [ pilates ] presumptuous!

I'm not trained to be an embassador of the human race, Mr. Robot Omochao! Please forgive the rest of mankind for my mistake, and take me instead!

It's okay! Everyone thinks I'm a girl!

[amiannoyingyou]

Hey, it's a mistake anybody could have made. Don't beat yourself up about it!

.... THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANYTHING BETTER :(

[faeth]

No, no, I insist! If there is something, anything that I can do to assure you that we all come in peace, please let me know.

I have long, girly hair and everything!

[amiannoyingyou]

Come on! I'm not going to hurt anyone!

everyone is entitled to gorgeous hair, regardless of gender!!

[faeth]

Um... then could you be one of those singing robots that I've heard so much about? (I mean, you are carrying a microphone, now that I think of it...)

True! Epecially when they are me

[amiannoyingyou]

[Oh, a singer? If Omochao could blush then he would be.] Oh, I don't sing. Not... Not well anyway!

[faeth]

I'm sure you're just being humble! [ ever the eager audience, Orihime clasps her hands in front of her chest. ] You should try it now. As a third-party, I'll give you my most heartfelt opinion and critique should you wish for it.

[amiannoyingyou]

Oh... I... I suppose I could try! Here goes! A-he-hem! [And Omochao raises his microphone to his mouth and begins to sing:] Fly me to the moon and let me sing among the stars
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my haaand [And his freakishly high pitched robo-voice is only slightly grating when he sings.]

... third time's the charm i swear ;;

[faeth]

[ if the robotic tone is at all irritating to her, her face doesn't show it. instead, there's that intrigued sparkle in her eyes, like she might just cry from how Frank Sinatrabot tugs at her heartstrings with his song.

ah, where are the lights! the piano! we need to sell tickets to this wonderful once-in-a-lifetime event!

and yes, she has no intention of stopping his song partway, so please continue singing Mr. Omochau while she listens with every fiber of her being. ]

Wherein Meph copy-pastes song lyrics and calls it RP

[amiannoyingyou]

[Omochao is getting so nervous! He hopes the nice lady will stop him soon.]

In other words, b- [Cough! Cough! Cough! Omochao will just cough and hack that line out of existence out of shyness.]

Ahem! Fill Omochao's heart with song and let him sing forever more
You're the one I long for who I worship and adore!
In other words... I... Oh no! I can't remember the next line!

wherein i jesus-take-the-wheel and pretend i know exactly what i'm doing

[faeth]

-- love you!

[ she finishes off with a flourish and a grand sweep of her hand! she sniffs, wiping a tear out of the corner of her eye. ] Oh, that was so beautiful! Full of emotion and ka-pow!

That's RP, isn't it?

[amiannoyingyou]

Yay! Great finish!

Do you really think it was that good?

... oh yeah

[faeth]

Yes, I truly think that you're a natural talent. Mr. Frank Sinatra would be so proud!

[amiannoyingyou]

Oh boy! As soon as I get to go home, I'll talk to my agent!

[faeth]

Please forward me your contact information. I'd like to attend your next concert!

[amiannoyingyou]

Oh, I'm honoured. I'll make sure you're the first to know!

[faeth]

[ she makes a frame with her fingers, peering at tutorial-bot through it. ]

Ah, but what will your stage name, be? Omochao is unique, but if I can provide my honest opinion, it doesn't hold enough of a bip-bam-badoo!

[ ... what does that even mean ]

[amiannoyingyou]

Oh, I kind of like Omochao...

What do you think would be better?

[faeth]

...! I like it too, very modern.

[ fluster fluster. ] I was thinking we should keep it, but perhaps we can add an adjective to give it a bit more spice?

[amiannoyingyou]

How about... "Superstar"?

[faeth]

Hm! It has potential!

But I was hoping for something with a little more alliteration! Like "Orange," or "Operator."

[amiannoyingyou]

Oh! Alliteration is a great idea! But it's so hard to think of words beginning with O...

[doesnt_just_heal]

Nutella, raisins and mayo!

That sounds delicious Me-chan!

[Another Orohime, rather excited to see another like herself.]

D-did you just wake up too?

[faeth]

Ah-hah! It's a delightful combination, but it can be so rich if you don't balance it out, correctly. The raisins provide the perfect amount of tartness to it, I think.

[ well, talking to herself isn't really all that... new, but this is still an experience, and it's literal! ] I'm still new at all of this, so I would like to ask for some clarification. Are we related, here? Would this make us long lost twin sisters?

[doesnt_just_heal]

[She nodded her agreement with the recipe.]

I think so too! Plus they add that wonderful little chewy texture! Yum!

[Orohime couldn't help but smile at the thought...mmmm Nutella...Oi! Focus here! Question being asked girly!]

Oh! Um...I don't think so. We're both the same person...just...from different places in time I think..maybe even different dimensions!

[Getting into some Whovian physics there Orohime]

[faeth]

[ oh my gosh, this is so excite to her. ]

The same soul split by the cruel physical and emotional pressures of the corporeal universe! Never to meet again until the fateful day that Mars aligns with Saturn, where they'll stumble across each other serendipitously, and -- with hands clasped and bodies framed by the resplendent sea -- they'll proclaim, "I've crossed many a distance to come back for you, my love!"

[doesnt_just_heal]

[She giggles at that.]


Sounds about right!

[A pensive stare.]

D..Do you think we can touch? Or...if we touch will the whole world explode from attempting to correct the induced paradox?!

[Despite the possibility of the world being exploded, she couldn't help but tentatively hold out her hand. Curious Orohimes are curious.]

[faeth]

[ but! this Orihime! refrains! she pulls her hands back abruptly, crossing her arms over her chest and shakes her head profusely. ]

We mustn't, my dear! The butterfly effect! (Don't touch anything!)

[doesnt_just_heal]

EEP!

[She freezes then, her hands snapping back to her sides before she looked back to the other Hime.]

Me-chan..h..have..

[Glancing down, she fiddles with her fingers, biting her lip a moment before asking.]

Have you seen Kurosaki-kun anywhere? I'm really worried about him..

[faeth]

... Ah, I haven't seen him since I've rented a room in Mun's head-apartment.

[ but yes, there's definitely concern, here. ] I was told there might be many a Kurosaki-kun here, but... I haven't seen him yet, no.
