VOICE TEST

[dismemberthename]

[Whatever circumstances put you into this situation must have really sucked, because right now? You're basically in the middle of nowhere, with heavy snowfall verging on a blizzard, with no reliable way out of this mess. There's no sign of shelter anywhere, and you're in the mountains for fuck's sake. Maybe you can find some trees to hang out under...?

...Are those wolves howling? Seriously, why are even wolves out in this weather?]

((or you know whatever you wanna play follow your dreams))

Comments

[was_no_mononoke]

Thanks.

[ bowing to her— properly, if shallow. ]

Hey, Sudoh, wake up.

[ rather than the huge press of power he'd used to make sure he'd gotten Shut Hell's attention, this time it's more like a friendly nudge. Sudoh's a bro, he doesn't need to be impressed. ]

[dismemberthename]

[it takes a moment, but her (checked) ferocity fades, and his eyes widen.] ...Huh??

[was_no_mononoke]

Welcome back.

[dismemberthename]

[looks out the cave mouth- it's a blizzard out? again? how long has he been out?] Uh. How long have we been here?

[was_no_mononoke]

Coupl'a minutes? Not long.

[dismemberthename]

[suddenly Sudoh's voice is very strained, his mouth dry. he's definitely looking at Daisuke like he's grown a second head.] What?

[was_no_mononoke]

[ leans back on his hands again, looking faintly smug ]

Not long. She wanted me t' wake y' up after so your pack wouldn't miss you.

[dismemberthename]

...You really can just call us out whenever...

[was_no_mononoke]

Dealin' with spirits's part of my job.

[dismemberthename]

[sure! why the fuck not!!] Your job.

[was_no_mononoke]

[ gestures at his antlers, which are now studded with tiny leaf buds ]

Or duty. Whatever y' wanna call it.

[dismemberthename]

What... exactly is your job? Or duty.

[was_no_mononoke]

Forest kami.

[dismemberthename]

[.....i guess this is my life now.] Cool.

[was_no_mononoke]

Mmn, sometimes.

[ totally not laughing at him, at all ]

[dismemberthename]

Only sometimes?

[was_no_mononoke]

Sometimes there's politics.

[dismemberthename]

[wrinkles his nose.]

Ew.

[was_no_mononoke]

Uh-huh. That c'n be dangerous enough t' be less boring but 's still politics.

[dismemberthename]

Yeah, it's not being bored that sounds like the problem to me.

[was_no_mononoke]

[ ??? ]

's kind of fun then, though.
