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))

[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.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ stop making that face at me or I'll find myself flat-out kidnapping you ] It's a good thing I'm not "most people." Anyway, I have relatives pretty close by— that's why I'm here in the first place.

[dismemberthename]

[well i mean]

...That's really unexpected. They live in the mountains? Or across?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ twirls a finger ] All around, actually. My family is pretty big, and we get territorial, so we have to spread out... that's the reason I'm up here, specifically. Looking for a meal too close to them would just ruffle everyone's feathers the wrong way, family or no.

[dismemberthename]

[rrraises an eyebrow.]

If you were looking for people, you went the exact wrong way.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ laughs ]

I was looking for deer. Or bacon, so to speak.

[dismemberthename]

[ok just taking that in stride, not like he knows jack shit about vampires

bacon...]

There are boars around here too. But bad luck, with the storm.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

I already got one, it's fine. ...I probably should have mentioned that first.

[dismemberthename]

Oh. That's good, then!

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Mmn. Anyway, what I was going to say is that it wouldn't be a big deal to drop by whenever I'm visiting, if you wanted.
