voice

[soulsword]

[ Illyana sounds vaguely amused when her voice comes on the feed. Then again, when doesn't she sound vaguely amused? ]

Raise your hand if you were naïve enough to touch a mirror that reflected a weird version of yourself. I'm conducting a very important and serious research survey. [ No she's not. She's just curious...]

For the id--[ wait be polite Illyana! Or at least try ] foolish ones that did, what was it like in there? What do we make of this new addition to our boring little city? I liked the sharks more. Even if some people were too afraid to ride them. [ You know who you are. You know. ]

Wonder what sort of accident caused things this time...

Do you have that much work to do?

[ She was trying so hard to sound serious and not laugh. But there is a smile on her face and the slight hint of a laugh in her voice. ]

Oh tons of things. I might be able to create something that stores sound to be unleashed in a concussive blast when smashed. It'd be useful to stun a large group of demons. Or a command charm that could cause various effects. Like dancing on command.

Oh, I like to keep busy between my art and my friends that have arrived. [ He responded in a vague, thoughtful tone. ] But if I were to use the few days just for painting, it would hardly be noticed if I weren’t speaking, I’m sure.

[ He did pause, though, hearing her tone of voice. How odd… was he being amusing?? Or perhaps she was just intrigued by the possibility. ]

I see…! So it could be quite useful in creating something for defensive purposes in the event that there is trouble around the city? That sounds like a sensible use… More so than dancing on command, anyway.

[ At least that sounded harmless, he supposed. Something useful or something harmless? That wasn’t so bad for the chance at another model for an art piece. ]

[soulsword]

What awful friends that they wouldn't notice. [ She doesn't think he's just that quiet. He seems to like to talk quite a lot.

Ah. He almost got it. So close yet so far.]

Dancing on command sounds more fun though. It'd be a good form of torture.

[bufubulous]

[ Illyana was not wrong. He did like to talk and he wasn’t exactly a quiet person. It did range depending on his focus, but he did tend towards more expressive than some. ]

Perhaps ‘not notice’ wasn’t quite the right way to put it… [ Because he’d hardly described his friends as awful, they were the best friends he’d ever known. ] So much as it would be less of an inconvenience if I was already engaged with a task. Though I suppose if someone tries to get my attention then it might be more inconvenient for them, hm…

[ Like when someone reminded him to take a break to eat, though he supposed if he would have to figure out a means of communication. ]

Oh… I had not considered that, I admit. I’m afraid I would be less in favor of you using my voice to create a charm you might use to torture someone.

[soulsword]

Wouldn't they wonder how you lost it? Why you lost it? [ Surely they'd ask questions, right? Everyone likes to ask a million questions. ]

Don't worry. I only torture demons.

[bufubulous]

[ Hmm.. Yusuke still wasn’t sure he was okay with the whole torture thing. Didn’t she have a bunch of little imp demons that followed her? They seemed harmless enough. The questions get an awkward pause, though. ]

I admit… I hadn’t considered that. They probably would. Though it might be harder to explain after the fact. Perhaps I should run it by them before making an agreement on the subject. Though they are often supportive of my art pursuits, it would be good for them to know beforehand.

[ Yusuke, they were supportive to a point. Ren had to stop you from digging around in a trash filled alleyway when he arrived! The chances of them being cool with this were probably not as great as he was thinking at the moment. ]

[soulsword]

Sounds like something you should do then! I'm sure they'll have an interesting reaction, you'll have to let me know. [ This should be hilarious. ]

[bufubulous]

I really should. I shall give it some thought and address it with them before I make a decision. It may take time, but I shall be in touch!

[ He ended with a nod. ]

Thank you for the suggestions, Illyana.

[soulsword]

[ She laughs. ] Always happy to help.
