general texting meme
To kick us off with some voice testing, here's a the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old fashioned friendly texting. Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.

instructions: What it says on the tin! Leave a comment with your character, any preferences, a start, absolutely nothing, or whatever you want. Run around and reply to others. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Huh.

[If it was someone else, Kazue would have just dismissed it because they had just run around for a few hours, so it's not like they were going to smell like daisies. But Maren's insight was particularly good for someone who hadn't been trained. Maybe it was because she'd been thrown and forged into the fire so soon.

Kazue tucked her bat into her bag, untucking the necklace that she kept Kirimaru on from underneath her shirt so she could activate him at less than a moment's notice. She picked up her steps, scanning their environment.]

What, my building? It's safe. There are wards everywhere and it was purified before I even moved in.

[analyticute]

It should be fine, then.

[ She thinks. She's been learning a lot off-handedly since she came to the Hidden Moon that made a lot of things woven into their culture make a lot more sense. Whatever that feeling was seems to have subsided, too, so it should be okay, she thinks. If it's not, it's not like Kazue will be far, but -- ]

Y-you really live in a building that big by yourself?

[applecake]

[She let her gaze linger for a few moments before nodding, hefting her bag over her shoulder since it seemed like Maren had dubbed it all clear. At the question, Kazue shrugged, entering the building without so much as glancing at the doorman bowing to greet them.]

I’m only renting out the top floor, and half of it is for the servants. The rest of it has occupants.

[She started up the stairs without thinking, glancing over her shoulder.]

It’s smaller than what I’m used to but it’s on a lay line so it could help with Awakening.

[Or at least that’s what she’s heard all of her life, and there’s little research to support the contrary.]

[analyticute]

[ Maren spares the doorman a nervous nod, countering his bow a few times in trying to inch past him with a polite greeting, after which she's quick to join Kazue. She's not terribly far behind despite her slower pace. ]

The t-top floor of a building is small...?

[ Is she hearing right? Not that she hasn't gotten the impression that Kazue is well off, but that sounds mind blowingly spacious to Maren. Also -- ]

S-servants?

[ And that's without taking into consideration the talk of ley lines. ]

[applecake]

Yeah, our estate is five times bigger. Even my aunt's house is double the size.

[Since Maren seemed to be keeping up, she headed up the floors until they got to the top. A kindly looking servant in her thirties opened the door for the both of them, bowing deeply as Kazue dropped her bags off next to her and took off her shoes.]

Only two came with me here. Maren, this is Emiko. She can take your stuff too.

[She tromped into the house further, which was fairly immaculate and decorated in a more modern fashion instead of a traditional one.]

Did you want to shower or eat first?

[analyticute]

[ She can't imagine living in an place as big as what Kazue is describing. Can anyone? Comfortably? Realistically?? With servants??? That sounds like something out of a fairy tale or something from bygone days maybe when there were lords and ladies living in castles and samurai were commonplace.

It takes her a minute to catch up with Kazue as courteous as she is toward Emiko in properly introducing herself. Please hold. ]

Sh-shower!

[ Because she was absolutely startled by the question. And overwhelmed by the size of everything and Emiko being so kind and -- it's a lot for her to process, really! And Kazue just lives here like this with Emiko-san and a whole 'nother person??? ]

[applecake]

Third door on the right.

[Kazue pointed the direction out helpfully in case Maren was having difficulty remembering her directions like she seemed to be with her words. She was already shrugging out of her outer jersey and handing it over to Emiko, non-pulsed.]

If you need anything just shout.

[In the meantime, Kazue was going to raid the fridge and see what she could drink.]

[analyticute]

Okay.

[ She offers a slight bow of her head in turn and another to Emiko and heads for the door only to pause a moment. A brief glance back at Emiko sees the matter of a change of clothes addressed due to the older woman's forethought. With her reassurance, Maren heads into the bathroom and, after turning her eyes wonderingly around inside for a moment, takes an additional moment to wash her face before going to turn on the shower. Give her maybe five, four, three, two, one minutes before she screams like she's being murdered. ]

[applecake]

[Kazue had just been guzzling her second milk tea can when she heard Maren's blood curdling scream, spitting out some of it in surprise. She slammed the can on the table, and before she was even aware of her movements, naginata in hand as she kicked down the door to the bathroom.]

What?! What is it?!

[The wards should have held, and nothing malevolent should have been able to come within even a few feet of this place, much less inside. It either had to be something incredibly powerful or new, so of course it would come for Maren.]
