CMO 5.0 (special edition)

Voicetesting:


[in order: Jupiter, Alfonse, and Little Mermaid]

In The Mood For:



[in order: Sayaka, Camilla, Linhardt, Carmelita, Hapi, and Jeritza]

Rules:

♥ Down for pretty much anything with these characters, though I do have a few memes I'm craving in particular; generic murdergame, last words, abrupt kissing, and nursed back to health. Of them, the first two are the highest priorities, though I am a sucker for shippy shit so /scalehands
♥ I'm down for pretty much everything with the voicetesting crew in particular, give me that good content. Everyone else I'd prefer to discuss an idea with first.
♥ Only stipulation is no smut on this post! I am down for it depending on the character (gonna be a firm no on Jupiter and Alfonse's end though), but I'd prefer to keep it under lock and key on another post.
♥ Shipping prefs! If y'all are down for something shippy, my main stipulations are that Jupiter is F/F only, strong pref for M/M on Alfonse's end, and strong pref for F/F on Camilla's end. Otherwise go nuts.
♥ Otherwise, have fun! I will simply state that these are the only characters I'm willing to bring out for this post, though, just as a fair warning.

[Normally, Yuu would be a lot calmer than that, but these are far from normal circumstances. Even the Overblots she and her friends had already faced hadn't compared.

She's relieved when Jupiter comes in, and closes the door after. She moves across the room to sit on the bed, and gestures for Jupiter to sit if she'd like. There's a desk chair still open, after all.]

I... [She hesitates. It'd be easy to say yes, to just do what she got used to at NRC--but everyone here's been... easier to deal with, somehow. Even with the wilder personalities and the much more present threat of death, that someone's going to give into the motives and someone will die... aside from the motives, Yuu hasn't really felt forced to deal with everyone's problems.

It's a reprieve, almost, and she's not sure how to feel about thinking that about their circumstances.]

I don't know. [Better to be honest, she guesses. She can trust Jupiter.] I've got no intention of acting this week, but our captor sure knows how to hit where it hurts.

[everytouch]

[Jupiter nods at that, at least. There's no reason to suspect anyone of acting. And hey, who knows, maybe they can prevent people from acting too; there has to be a way to do that. But Jupiter really hopes it won't be necessary.]

I know. It's okay. I know you won't. I really just hope nobody else will.

[They're quick assurances, if nothing else. Jupiter's mastered the art of at least trying to keep people cool and calm, even if it doesn't always work.]

...Is it someone you care about getting hurt?

[Let's start there.]

[yuumustbejoking]

[Yuu nods. Even just that vote of confidence helps...]

... Yeah, I hope so, too.

[At the question, Yuu nods again, brushing some of her hair back.]

Several. I didn't look at the photo long enough to see who all was there, but I know I spotted Ace, Deuce, and Tsunotarou for sure. I think Jack, Kalim, and Epel were there too... and I'm pretty sure I saw Azul...

[There were a lot of bodies in that photo.]

[everytouch]

[...Oh, geez. That's a lot of people to get involved in something bad like that. Jupiter's eyes briefly widen.]

...Fuck. [Jupiter isn't exactly eloquent, but like. What can you say about that?] That's...that's a lot of people, to get mixed up in something nasty.

[Geez, that's...]

...That guy's a real piece of work for showing you something like that. [...] But maybe, like...maybe they'll actually be fine? Against whatever's happening. What he's showing, that's just--the worst case, right?

Not that you probably need me to tell you that.

[yuumustbejoking]

["FUCK" JUST ABOUT SUMS IT UP, REALLY.]

Yeah, and that's not even everyone there. It's... bad.

[Yuu sighs heavily.]

I'm really hoping they'll be fine. Tsunotarou's apparently one of the scariest guys in the school, so I'm sure he can take care of himself at least.

[Still, she's not sure how much good that'll do. Who knows how much power the Overblot stones hold...]

And Ace and Azul are really smart, so they could probably figure something out...

[everytouch]

[Jupiter nods her head as she listens; it sounds like she's got a lot of faith in her friends, at least. It's actually kind of heartening to hear Yuu talk about them like that; maybe things will work out in the end.

There's a pit in her stomach as her mind slowly goes back to Venus and Neptune, but she elects to ignore it, smiling instead.]

Yeah. Yeah! It sounds like they'll probably be fine. If you've got a scary guy and two smart guys, I'm sure they'll be fine. They'll think of something, right? So you don't have to worry so much.

[She sure wishes she could say that about her friends, but--]

Ahaha. Sounds like you've made a lot of interesting friends, though. That's pretty cool.

[yuumustbejoking]

[If there's one thing Yuu knows, it's that her friends can more than just hold their own.

They're not defenseless like her. But she's going to try to not focus on that.]

They'll definitely think of something.

[They'll be fine.

She hopes.]

Yeah, everyone's... interesting. [That's not a good thing sometimes.] It was weird being the only girl at Night Raven at first, but I've gotten used to it, and I definitely made more friends than I expected to.

[everytouch]

Ahaha, wow. That kind of seems scary? I can't imagine being in an all-guys school like that.

[It's a simple statement, really, but Jupiter brushes it aside. No need to focus on that.]

So, what's it like there, anyway? It's gotta be different from your usual high school, yeah?

[yuumustbejoking]

[Yuu almost thinks about affirming that yes, it was pretty scary at first, but she decides against it.]

Super different. Like, even without all the magic stuff, it's a boarding school, and that's a whole different thing too, you know?
