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". :)

"Style it is, Miss Eight of Diamonds." He released her hand so he could lock away his papers and then stood up, offering a hand. "And you can tell me everything I've been missing over cocktails."

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

"I will. Particularly if you fill me in on someone I'm curious about." She took the hand, falling into the old habit easily.

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

He lifted an eyebrow as they headed down the hall. "Someone, is it?" he said. "A Club, then?" Because while Elisha knew something about everyone, that wasn't information he threw around all that much.

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

"Mmhmm," she hummed, idly running her fingers over his sleeve. "What can you tell me about Kestral Finely?"

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

"Well, he'll laser-glare you to death if you call him Kestrel," Elisha said dryly. "He's prickly and grumpy, obsessive about his work, but a good man, ultimately."

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

"Really? Then... what should I call him? Mister Four?" And Kestral was such a nice name, too. Pity. "What about significant others? Is he currently seeing anyone?"

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

"Fin. It's the only thing he'll answer to." And Renee would forgive him if he headtilted a little at the idea of Fin and dating. "No, he's not. He doesn't usually allow for...distractions."

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

"Fin..." She rolled that around in her mouth, settling it in for him. "Well, maybe someone needs to show him how much fun some distractions can be."

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

He flashed a grin and rolled his shoulders. "Planning to make that person you, darling?"

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

"Unless you can give me a valid reason why I shouldn't, I'd very much like to." She smiled back, hand patting his arm. "So, fill me in on all pertinent information regarding Fin."

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I could if I wanted to." Which he didn't, but it took a second before he spoke again. He didn't have anything against Fin - he was a good man, like he'd said - but he didn't particularly get his motivations, and that was always key with Elisha. "Awkward," he said. "He never met a social grace he didn't ignore utterly. A workaholic. Addicted to coffee, chocolate, and red wine."

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

"Right, so, I should bribe him with chocolate-covered espresso beans and a good burgundy?" That was doable, she could pull that off. "The workaholic part, however, might take some finessing to get around."

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

"You always managed pretty well with me." Of course, Elisha hadn't been quite as much of one then, but there had always been moments.

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

"You, my darling, were easily lulled into complacency with massages and promises of certain favors, if I remember correctly." Elisha had always taken his work seriously, but that had been ratcheted up in the last few years - and with the happenings in the Deck, she couldn't blame him.

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

"I suspect chocolate-covered espresso beans and promises of certain favors might work with Fin, eventually." Once he'd gotten used to having access to said favors, of course. It was hard to give up once you'd had it.

[darklygleaming.livejournal.com]

She'd do her best to ensure that he did get used to it. "I think I might feasibly be able to pull this off. You wouldn't happen to know what kind of fragrance he prefers, would you?"
