May's Voicetest and Enabling Post!

[houseofcardsmod.livejournal.com]

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.

<b>Player name:</b><br /><b>Character name:</b><br /><b>Character Rank/Suit:</b><br /><b>Short description:</b>

The information given here 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.

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.


ALSO: If you would like to be enabled into creating a new character or if you have a requested character (or character type or face or whatever) you'd like to see in the game...post them under the comment thread titled "enabling requests". :)

No, not re- [Wait. His stomach disagreed with him, it seemed.] I guess so.

[Fine. he would go. He starts to pick up books, shutting and bookmarking and organizing them for later.]

Yeah, okay. We can find food, but why are you finding it here?

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

Well, what would you prefer I called you, Mister Four?

[She watched him pack his books, pleased at her small victory. Step one - get Fin away from his books, was accomplished. Step Two - flirt like it was going out of style was about to commence.]

Mm, I came to see Elisha and we ran a little overlong in catching up. And now, I'm famished.

[absentlyclubbed.livejournal.com]

Fin, you can call me Fin. [Books put away, he gestured rather awkwardly for her to get the fuck out of his library ahead of him, to make sure she didn't muck things up on her way out.

But more politely. Hopefully.]

Elisha! Right! I knew it started with an 'E'. [Elisha's Girl. See? He totally knew what he was talking about.]

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

Fin. [She drew the word out, pushing off from the table and hiding the small roll of her eyes as she was obviously ushered out and away from his precious books.] Not quite as old-world as Kestral, but it suits you.

What started with an 'E'?

[absentlyclubbed.livejournal.com]

Elisha's G- [Er...] ...Fiance?

Yeah, my name does suit me. What else would it do. [You're an odd one, let him close the door behind them.]

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

[Another laugh, accompanied by a shake of her head.] We never got that far, Fin. And that was quite a while ago. Now, we're merely very good friends.

[She watched him close the door with an almost possessive air.] You, my dear, are quite the literal one, aren't you?

[absentlyclubbed.livejournal.com]

[Whoops.]

Right. Sorry.

Being literal makes it less complicated, yeah?

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

[No harm, no foul, Fin.]

Why be sorry. It worked out for the best, and we're still amiable.

True, but sometimes, it can be much less fun. [She reached for his arm, almost automatically, since she normally held Elisha's when wandering the Club castle.]

[absentlyclubbed.livejournal.com]

[He was tall, gangly, but his arm still dropped down into the appropriate crook, even if a little uncertainly, letting her hand tuck against the curve of his elbow.]

I hadn't noticed.

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

I think that might be more because you choose not to, not because it's not obvious.

[He was taller than her, something she not only liked, but preferred. Even with her special heels on, he'd have an inch or two on her, and as a tall woman, that was never a bad thing.]

[absentlyclubbed.livejournal.com]

You like to take a guys knees out from under him, don't you?

[That was unfair, she realized. Right? Because... He really didn't entirely know how to handle someone so... blatantly subtle.

That didn't make sense. Stop being an idiot, Fin.]

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

Depends on the activity in question and if knees being taken out can enhance anything or gain me any leverage.

[She could see the gears turning again, and it made her grin. Not quite up for subterfuge, this one. It made it easier to respond to him, to pick up those nuances so she'd know best how to go about this.]

[absentlyclubbed.livejournal.com]

Then why are you doing it to me!

[Fin made an annoyed huff of breath. Complicated women, what was with them. He means, really.]

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I like you off balance. Besides, Fin, you have no idea what it is, if anything, I want from you.

[absentlyclubbed.livejournal.com]

There's nothing to gain from me being all wobbly.

[He firmly believes this, why are you taunting him when he's taking you to the kitchen like you practically demanded. Women. Bah.]

Bah.

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

You'd be wrong if that's what you truly think...

[She's smiling, fingers playing lightly against his arm as she rests her other hand on top of it.]

Has anyone ever told you you're quite handsome when you scowl?

[absentlyclubbed.livejournal.com]

[There wasn't enough bluster in the world to keep him going through this.

Besides, that couldn't be true.]

That can't be true.

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

Mmm, but it is. Or are you implying that I'm lying to you...

[absentlyclubbed.livejournal.com]

[That was a bad thing, if hr remembered correctly.]

...Er... No. I guess. Did you want something to eat or not?

[Because they were here, and that would stop him from sounding stupid.]

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

Only if you agree to join me. When was the last time you ate, hmm?

[absentlyclubbed.livejournal.com]

I just ate... Er...

[When was the last time he ate? his head shifted up as he tried to figure that out.]

...What time is it?

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

Nearly five.

[Oh, clearly the man was in need of sustenance.]

[absentlyclubbed.livejournal.com]

[Nearly five... And he'd gotten up... had some coffee...

Gone to work. Stepped out for a chocolate bar... more coffee...]

...Yesterday. I just ate yesterday.

[At some point.]

God, I'm starving, now.

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

Fin...

[It was a light admonishment, a scolding lilt to her tone as she wiggled a finger at him.]

That just won't do, darling. I can't have you wasting away on me. Now, what would you like, hmm?

[absentlyclubbed.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I'll just eat whatever Karen has made, there bust be something, right?

[Stop... stop waggling that finger at him. He didn't mean to do it, geez.]
