Voice Testing - new muse is not impressed with journal name or mun in general

[puppeteeredlife]

Is this some sort of joke? 'Cause I'm not laughing, sister. "I'm a real boy", and if you think I'm going to dance on some strings just because you feel like it, you've got another thing coming.

[Says the man whose entire life has been a long puppet show from Act 1, to intermission, to Act 2 and onward.]

I mean yeah, yeah, I get it. You can't help yourself, I'm me after all.

But don't you think I have more important things to do than run around playing games in some other alternate universe or where ever? And do you even have the time or attention span necessary-...

You're not even listening anymore, are you? It's like I'm being yanked around by a goldfish.

They have a tendency of doing that to us, don't they, Jaybird?

Sorry in advanced if I'm horrible!

[puppeteeredlife]

More often than I'd say makes sense, definitely something wrong with them up stairs.

[He'd could add something about 'bats in the belfry' but well, you know.]

I suppose you haven't figured out how to discourage them?

N'aw, I'm sure you'll be great.

[ex_noceur464]

[ No, Jaybird. Leave the puns to Dickiebird here. ]

If I had, do you think I'd be in two games right now? Mun's are incorrigible about getting us out into the world.

[ A small shrug. ]

Yours got any ideas of where they wanna send you?

I'm definitely going to try!

[puppeteeredlife]

Two? Are you serious? Jeez, how do you even swing that?

[This just got better and better, he let out a long breath before shaking his head.]

You're guess is as good as mine. I think they might be dancing around at least one place, but they seem kind of indecisive as far as deciding anything so far.

[ex_noceur464]

Ah, you know me. I'm always light on my feet. [ He snickered a bit - because, hey, bordering on a pun. ]

Some of the places aren't too bad. Sweet kid like you'll make all sorts of friends, right?

[ Harharhar. ]

[puppeteeredlife]

Like a ballerina.

[He responded with a touch of snark, because he had to. Couldn't be too nice to the Dickiebird after all, The bat family might think he'd gone a bit too soft. Sure, maybe he had softened up a little, but he still had a reputation to uphold.

With a shrug of his shoulder's he responded to the question with a little smirk.]

Of course, I can't help that I'm all fun times and charisma.

[Lowering the shrug he paused before adding,]

Define 'too bad'.

[Because it wouldn't hurt to know what to look out for. It's not that he's... worried or anything. It can't be any worse than the hell holes he'd seen. He was just mildly curious.]

[ex_noceur464]

Really? You should see me do a pirouette, then.

[ Ahah, well there's a lovely set of stories for Dick to toss around... He reached up to rub at the back of his head, because how to explain all the places he's been tossed? ]

Well, there's one place that's pretty much a gated community where we're just expected to live normal and happy lives. My mun had me there for a little while almost a year ago.

The other places, I've been? You wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy.

[puppeteeredlife]

[Jason would pass on that one, although it was reasonably easy to picture, he'd seen the acrobat move before.

Honestly the first place sounded kind of... Freaky. To just be dropped into another world where some strange community expected you to live what ever constituted for a happy, peaceful life? That would just feel down right unnatural to any one of them, wouldn't it?

Adjusting to that sort of situation seemed like it might be more uncomfortable than what sounded like some pretty bad places. They had to be if Dick wasn't elaborating further. But at least jumping into a chaotic, dark world might be an easier situation to react to...]

Well that sounds like a great time, plenty to look forward to.

[His tone is a little dry, but he's definitely a little intrigued.]
