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))

[dismemberthename]

[this laughter is MAYBE A BIT HYSTERICAL but earnest enough]

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ SUDOH WHY DID YOU ENCOURAGE HIM ] The stakes felt pretty high, so I didn't want to make light of things, you know?

[dismemberthename]

[pathetic wheezy noise]

Stop! I'll die!

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

I can't think of where to go from there, so I guess you're spared.

[dismemberthename]

Bad puns, honestly...

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

We all have our talents.

[dismemberthename]

[huffs another laugh and... sidles still closer.]

Aah, guess that's true enough.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ seems to have zero problems with that now...? he's definitely settling in, still radiating self-satisfaction. ]

[dismemberthename]

[okay. yes. this lap is mine.]

...Why are you fine with it now?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Ah— well, it doesn't matter anymore if you notice I don't smell quite right... [ and he's given up on not getting attached. ]

[dismemberthename]

You smell like sunblock, mostly... That is sunblock, right?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

—What, still? Yes, that's sunblock, and in that case I'm sorry.

[dismemberthename]

No it's... fine. It's nice.

Um.

...Can I just ask... a kinda stupid question?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ looks completely baffled by the idea that anyone could find the smell of sunblock nice ] Sure...?

[dismemberthename]

What... year is it?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ ...THAT IS NEVER A GOOD QUESTION

hesitating for several seconds and then telling him. ]

[dismemberthename]

[gets... very quiet....]

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ leaves his hand very conspicuously on Sudoh's back ] ...Lost track?

[dismemberthename]

It's... uhm. It's been a while.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

...my sire managed to miss most of World War I happening under his nose despite his best efforts to not lose touch...? Don't feel too bad.

[dismemberthename]

At least I'm not alone...

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Not at all.

[dismemberthename]

[he said he's not alone but he didn't mean it as intently as it could be taken, especially like this...

this is so temporary :<

clings a little more intensely]

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ sighs, shifting his hand up to the top of Sudoh's head. time to move in for the metaphorical kill... ] ...hey, does your pack migrate much? Or do they stay around here?

[dismemberthename]

[pettingssssss....] We mostly stick in this mountain range. It's harsher than most people want to deal with.
