Tamakins voice testing for an upcoming sideplot FIXED THE BORKED HTML o7

[coldhardcash]

Hey, don't look so surprised, mun! I'm a pretty easy-going guy, and you seem reasonable enough. I'm sure the two of us can come to an agreement no problem! You parade me around and show me off in your game like girls and Nuriko do, and in return, I get a little compensation, huh?

...

What do you mean it doesn't work like -- !?

You know what? Fine, fine. Tell you what. Do one of those AU things, yeah? You like playing with those what-ifs, right? How about this: Play me exactly as I am, except from another world where I'm --

get this --

Fabulously wealthy.

How's that? Sound like a plan? I think I'm really on to something!

[ironwillow]

And just what am I supposed to be doing to you, Tama-chan?

[ironwillow]

And how dare you say the girls and Nuriko.

[ironwillow]

After all, who can deny this as completely feminine and gorgeous to boot!

[argue with him if you dare]

[coldhardcash]

Hah, no kidding. You really had me going back when you were dragging me around to make Miaka jealous. I never would've guessed that you were a guy.

[It's all in good fun. Right, Nuriko?

...right?]

[ironwillow]

Haha riiight? [grabs Tama-kins by the cheek and pulls] It's almost like you never [tug] found [tug] out.

[coldhardcash]

Never f --

[Ow. Ow. Ow, ow ow ow ow okay he gets it!]

F-found out about what?

[ironwillow]

That's what I thought. [let's him go] Now what's this about you being fabulously wealthy? [in somewhere other than his dreams?]

[genbukaiden]

Wealth matters that much to you?

[coldhardcash]

Come on, money's what keeps the world going! More importantly, it's what keeps hard workers like me going.

[genbukaiden]

What is your job?

[coldhardcash]

Whatever's paying.

...Mostly.

Generally, I hire myself out as a guard and a fighter. Defend against bandits and the like.

[genbukaiden]

So you can do some good. (Takiko is impressed.) I'm glad you work - actually work - for your money.

My name is Takiko, by the way.

[woaini]

AU? Is that something you can eat?

[Oh Suzaku, she's so hopeful.]

[coldhardcash]

It's not something you can eat! It's something you... do! Like what you did, dropping into Konan a couple months back. Except it's the same world, with smaller changes.

Like me having way more money.

[allendsmeat]

That's no fun at all. I'd want something to eat. [waves hand and threadjacks like a boss]

[coldhardcash]

[Wait how did you even FINE WHATEVER Tamahome has seen stranger.]

So? I didn't make the word up. What do you want me to do about it?

1/2

[allendsmeat]

Hmmm. [ponder ponder]

[allendsmeat]

Give me some meat on the bone!

[coldhardcash]

...




What's it worth to you?

[allendsmeat]

Eh? You mean I need money?

[coldhardcash]

Of course you need money! You can't expect a guy to just give up a good cut of meat for free, right?

[And because mun isn't totally heartless, he's got one. Juicy roast leg from a nice fat fowl.]

[allendsmeat]

Okay! [Yosh] I'll pay you from my treasure.

[reaches out to grab it]

[coldhardcash]

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Treasure first, pal. Then the meat.

[For good measure he holds it up and behind him. Kid's lanky, but still shorter than him. No way he can reach it from down there, right?]

[allendsmeat]

[his arm stretches up to grab the bone]

I don't have it yet. I'll give it to you when I become Pirate King.

[woaini]

[LOOK AT HER DISAPPOINTED FACE, SIR.]

Oh.

Well, couldn't a change be having all the food you can eat, whenever you want it?

[coldhardcash]

[Don't give him that face don't gi- oh dammit.]

H-hey now, cheer up! You know, uh, I bet there is a whole AU thing just like that! Nothin' but food!

[woaini]

[There's a sparkle in her eyes.

...and a rumble in her stomach.]

Ah, that would be the best place ever!
