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.~

"I know, but Lady Jack has such a ring to it." And when Mel uses it, it's a little on the teasing side.

"Do you?" she asks, surprised. "Well, I have a few available. You aren't going to be too busy?" It'd be nice to have a Face Card who rode regularly. Rachel's too busy, Lindsey hadn't been interested - Ashley might, she'll need to prod him about it - and Helena hadn't been a fan of horses.

"And there's no one else to use it on, either." Since she was outnumbered, utterly, by men.

"I do," Avery says with more certainty this time. "With Ashley here now, I don't have to chain myself to my desk, and having a horse to take care of would help me do it."

"Gotta get my money's worth out of it," Mel agrees with a laugh. "Well, that's pretty encouraging. You'll be the only Jack who's made that decision. Are you down here to look around today?"

There's only one horse at the Diamond stables without an owner, but the communal stables have several. There are one or two at the Spades' too, but she isn't heading over there right now. They'll make do.

If none of the horse at the communal stables do - or even the one here - then Avery can go talk to the Spade stablemaster herself. Lord knows she's over at Dark and Sharp often enough. But she just nods with a grin. "Yeah, I think I'd like to. It'll keep me out of the office for an hour or two."

There were only so many times one could go shopping for the afternoon, after all, though she supposed this was kind of shopping. "I don't suppose Cassia's (http://www.myhorse.ca/images/chestnut-quarter-horse-mare.jpg) still available."
