houseofcardsooc | Voicetesting Meme!~

... as announced a while back.

Here be rules and explanatory things!~
1. Taking part is not mandatory! If you wish to test-drive a new muse, here's the place, but if you'd rather app them without testing - that's perfectly legit, too. :3

2. There are suggestions for scenarios behind the cut. You can use the RNG to roll a relationship and a situation, but you are absolutely free to come up with a scenario of your own. It's more like a friendly suggestion/bit of inspiration from out side.~

3. You may voicetest as many characters at once as you like, and testing them here doesn't make apping mandatory. It's supposed to help you get a hold on the character's voice and to help you decide whether they would fit into the setting or not.

4. Please, keep the following in mind:
a) nothing that happens in this meme is canon or has to be taken into the game. This applies to both the CR and the situation at hand - though if you like it? Talk about it and make it canon once your muse got in.~
b) taking part does not assure that your muse will get into the game.
c) it's just a meme. It's here to help and to have fun, nothing more, nothing less.

5. For the voicetesting characters only: please fill out the short form below:.

Player name: Your name/online alias
Character name: Your character's name.
Character Rank/Suit: The rank your character holds and the suit they are in.
Short description: Three to five short sentences that will give some basic information on your character. This could include their occupation (or whether they are new to the deck), mention existing relationships to characters already in the game (as long as that has been discussed with the character's muns) and maybe a few words on the character's personality. Don't link to an already written app/the character's whole history/an essay on their personality. It's just supposed to be a synopsis.

The information given me is not yet set canon, so you are perfectly free to change it for the actual app.~

6. You can also post a character that is already in the game so people can bounce their voicetesting characters off of you! Actually, this is very much welcomed. Do it! :D If you want to.

I... hope this makes some sense, I am sleep deprived and still sick. xD

As stated above, here is a list of the relationships and scenarios you can roll out in case you don't want to come up with something else or just like randomness a lot.

Relationships
1. Acquaintances - You have seen each other around, but rarely exchanged more than a couple of words. Time to chance that!
2. Friends - What it says on the tin. Maybe you've known each other for a long time, maybe not - whichever works best.
3. Colleagues - For some reason, you two work together a lot - be it cross-suit work or inter-suit things, you keep ending up doing important stuffs together.
4. Lovers - What it says on the tin. Secret or not, just crushing or close to married, it's The Wuv between you two.
5. Exes - When No. 4 went bad. This may or may not get awkward.
6. ENEMIES - You hate each other. That's all there is to say.
7. ??? GO WILD!

Situations
1. Surprise!assignment - For some reason, your King/Queen/whoever decided you two should work together on a ~~gloriously random~~ project. Even crackier when it's off-suit.
2. Suddnely, date. - Can be a blind date, an assignment taking a funny route or an Actual Date (or whatever else, really). Go out, have fun. Wheee.
3. Challenges! - Either that person challenged you, or you challenged that person, or you are going to challenge soon or ... whatever challenge-related scenario you want to have here.
4. Morning After - What happened last night? Where are we? I have no idea, you play it out.
5. Party, PARTY! - It's time to celebrate a thing! IDEC what thing! Maybe it's a masquerade or a fun evening at the Four Suits Pub...
6. Bad Day - For all your emo needs. One person has a bad day, the other comforts them. Or makes it worse. Or anything else.
7. ??? GO WILD.
~~Coherency, I has it.~~

If there are any questions about this thing, just ask away and I will try to explain.~

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

"I didn't want to drench you with puns, Kitkat." The more he talks, the more ridiculous the nicknames get. "And how bad can it be, being below sea level? Isn't it better down where it's wetter, take it from me?"

It's only a matter of time until they get to KittyKat, and at that point she's going to have to put a stop to those nicknames. "That's what I hear, Sebastian, but wouldn't you be the expert?"

"Even the sturgeon and the ray get the urge to come and play. Or something like that. Who'd the sturgeon and the ray be, then? Our dear King and Ace?" So amused.

"Rays sting, don't they?" Zoe asks. Obviously she doesn't need to be anywhere right away, mostly because her office is still full of sawdust and handymen/spies. "That would be the Ace, then."

He nods wisely. "And obviously, sturgeons perform sturgery. Underwater medical procedures completely embody David's spirit, don't they?"

"It's practically his spirit animal." Zoe has on her straightest face. "Do you think he has a totem in his office?" He doesn't. She's been in his office.

But it's kind of a hilarious thought.

Completely seriously, "do you think he does? I don't think so. I think it's our duty as devoted subjects to his Majesty to present him with one."

"It's unfortunate that I don't have the artistic talent for that kind of thing." But they do have...no a court artist, but a forensic psychologist. "But I'm sure Dr. Rhodes would be thrilled to help." Especially after Zoe helps Sandy steal all his clothes.

All the raised eyebrows. "Dr. Rhodes? You think he'll go along with it? Be seri- shit." If Zoe peeks over, she'll see that his on-screen country is being invaded. Oh, Age of Empires. The best PC game ever.

She has no idea. The last time she met Nicholas Rhodes...well, hm. She didn't remember actually meeting him before he came back, actually. "He might. I suppose it depends on his interest in harmless mischief." She does peek over, and makes a face. "Your border control is full of holes, darling."

"The towers can reach that far. Don't you judge me." As if on cue, the on-screen towers begin shooting laser beams at the incoming... robots? "I don't have a good enough navy to invade their island. That's the problem." His jaw is set as he narrows his eyes. Do grant him a few moments to deal with the threat. He would be such an ace tactician if he actually applied his skills.

"No judging? Who's judging?" She will watch, though. She imagines Julien would probably be startled at the amount of battle tactics that can be picked up from video games. Between the two of them, she and Liam could probably administrate a war.

As long as they have unlimited resources and manpower. These computerized workers have a frightening kind of endurance. "I can hear you judging from halfway across the room, Zo-Kat." But judge away. It can't possibly bother him more than this stupid never-ending army.

The nicknames really are getting worse, but Zoe slides around the desk to watch, anyway. It probably would be hard to get used to armies that didn't automatically regenerate, come to think of it. "If you focus more lasers on the left flank, you'll take more out."

"Right away, General Kattalakis." He sends a few civilians over to the left flank to begin building towers for the relentless army. "I think it's time to bring out the tanks." It's always satisfying to pull out the huge machines and send them at the opposing force.

Her papa would...sigh so much if he realized what the lessons in guerrilla tactics were being used for. But it's not like she was exactly going into an actual warzone any time soon. "I think you might be right. Bulldoze them right down?"

"Yeah, pretty much." And then that's that. The tanks roll through the army and within and few moments, there's no one on the other side left. He raises his hand to pump it in the air, then holds it out for a high five to her. This. This is what is so great about the game Age of Empires. The fact that it's so easy if you're smart enough to stock up on the big guns before hand.

She smacks her hand against his with a grin. Age of Empires is really such a Spade game, she needs to play it more often. "Decimated. Awesome."

"Too good." He grins up at her. "You need to get your heartthrob in on this game. I don't know what could be more romantic than beating up rival armies and spilling virtual blood everywhere."

"Victor? And video games? Oh, honey, if I could, but it's never going to happen." She smirks a little bit. "He accuses me of being glued to the computer. I think he's forgotten if he's ever actually met you."

"You just have to work at it, Kat. Eventually he'll wear down. Just flutter your eyelashes or call him sweetie or something." Obviously the relationship expert right here.

"Mm...no, I think I'll save the eyelashes for something likely to actually happen. It'd be a shame to waste them, you know." On something that would never happen. Because Victor and willing hours in front of the computer will never happen.

"How do you waste eyelashes? Don't you have an unlimited supply?" He picks up his phone for a moment, fiddling with it before flipping through the different security camera feeds. "And don't be so quick to say it won't happen. You never know until you try, right?"

"They don't grow back that fast," Zoe says dryly, and then raises an eyebrow. "Why are you looking at the security feeds?"
