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.~

"Oh, a public message indeed. And he should be right in the middle of it, even. Not that he'd still care, at that point - if all goes as I'd like for it to go."

Watching, still.

Julien frowned slightly.

Was she suggesting-?

"....I suppose it's directed more at the rest of his Suit, then." Those left behind.

"Indeed. And it should be spectacular. An ending worthy of a King. I was thinking the upcoming masquerade would suit the purpose well?"

A question more than a statement, though the decision is made for the most part - unless he can somehow convince her to keep the bothersome King around.

It was the sort of challenge rarely afforded him, even here. Particularly here.

Killing a King?

Julien smiled, slowly. "if that is what you wish, my Lady."

No, he won't be convincing her of anything tonight.

She smiles - this was the reaction she had hope for, truly.

"Make it as memorable as possible. A room with a perfectly white floor would be best, to make the blood stand out more..."

"I believe we have one of those in the Castle."

Julien tended toward efficiency over the artistic, but for Athena?

He'd paint a picture in Andrew's blood if she asked it of him.

"Now, there is a more complicated part.

Eileen."

[identity profile] acethatmatters.livejournal.com 2012-05-06 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
His smile disappeared, "what about her?"

Did she want him to kill the little Ace too?

Surely not.

[identity profile] needsnomirror.livejournal.com 2012-05-06 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Hell, no.

"Knowing a thing would endanger her. But she is prone to roam the castle... and especially during the aftermath, this could cause problems.

I don't want anything to happen to her." Which is an unspoken 'I will make things happen to her if it is absolutely necessary, but I blame it on you forever'.

[identity profile] acethatmatters.livejournal.com 2012-05-06 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Something in the set of his shoulders relaxes at that.

"Nothing will happen, my Queen."

He'd ensure it. That's what he was here for, after all.

[identity profile] needsnomirror.livejournal.com 2012-05-06 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
She does notice.

"You did not actually believe I would--?"

[identity profile] acethatmatters.livejournal.com 2012-05-06 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"She loves him and she is the Ace of Clubs." And she was rather precocious. If she truly set herself to it, it was possible she could discover who Andrew's killer was. And that would be...difficult.

And perhaps he also wouldn't put it past Athena to see how close the Ace of Spades and the Ace of Clubs were growing and to have him eliminate a possible future liability.

"I believe you would do whatever is necessary to protect," her," the Suit's interests."

Or more to the point, that Julien would.
