a shameful voicetest

[treun]

You - you! Oi, of course I'm talkin' to you. Who d'you think you are? You think you can just pick me up like I'm some sort 'ae play thing? I don't think so! I'm no some doll or some sort 'ae puppet on strings.

Ugh! Can you no just ... reconsider this? No, I suppose you won't. Typical! Doesnae matter what Merida thinks.

I'm no sulkin', you're just insufferable.

I hate to intrude, but has someone done something to offend you? [A lady in distress is of great concern. And her speaking is much like a puzzle.]

[treun]

She's so annoyin'!

[Oh Layton, you walked straight into a teenage Scottish tantrum. ]

I spent all that time tryin' to be free and now she's come along wae plans to play me.

[thisremindsme]

[He will try and play it 'cool' as the kids say, it wouldn't do to excite her. He's heard that redheads have some fire in them.]

That sounds like a terrible imposition. Do you think you could strike up a bargain?

I would lend my services as a mediator if it would assist.

[rightorder]

[ Catelyn is apparently being played as her younger self today, which is for the best in this case, because at no other time in her life could she half so well understand a teenage redhead with plenty of familial duties and not very many freedoms. ]

Gods, don't — [ Not meaning to be another who presumes to tell Merida what to do, but. ]

Were I you, I would think well before speaking to my mundane in like words. You'll make it worse than it needs be.

[treun]

How can I just sit back and take it though! I'm no that kinda girl, I won't be made a fool just because some gammy girl wants to muck around!

[rightorder]

There's little else to do but sit back, I fear.

I hope, my lady, that she already sees what kind of girl you are, and it is only because she knows your nature that she dared to meddle so.

You mightn't be made to look foolish at all.

[treun]

Aye, I suppose. I mean - I guess this a wee bit like an adventure, eh?

[She pauses. ]

How long have you been dealin' with yours?

[rightorder]

Very much an adventure, I think. [ She's a bit nervous about that, herself. She's not quite as bold as Merida. ]

Truthfully, not long at all. I've simply seen and heard enough, in so short a time, to think better of resisting the mundane's plans.

[treun]

Ah, you're a cautious lass.

[She nods as though she can relate to being cautious. There is not a cautious bone in Merida's body. ]

Clever of you!

[ursines]

Merida! What is all this yellin' about?

[Mother doesn't approve. :|]

[treun]

- Mum!

[yelling who's yelling, not merida anymore. ]

I was just havin' a conversation.

[ursines]

'Just havin' a conversation'? There's no need t'be yelling in a normal conversation, is there?

[treun]

Aye, aye - I suppose so. But she's been really annoyin', mum. Reeeeeeeeeeeeally annoyin'.

[ursines]

How so?
