WELL.
Lost internet for a week roughly. Felt like an eternity. Had to read through 7 pages on a 4kbps connection. NAAASTY... but it should be better now.
Alrighty now, down to business.
Splint, I love the drawing of Reudh! It's more or less how I pictured him in my mind while writing him!
Also, you guys can sign me up for the VA thread. While I don't have practice with voice acting, I did five years of theatre acting and I can speak quite clearly to boot. I'm confident enough not to stutter too (THAT IS NOT AN ATTACK ON ANY OF YOU, I understand you guys were nervous. In fact, out of the ones I heard none of you stutter.)
Additionally, I've experience in writing scripts. One of my plays 'Media Madness' and a skit I wrote for it "The Adventures of the Magical Pixie Horse" and "The Biggest Bondi Masterdance Idol" was performed to raucous applause to a rather small crowd.
I also did a course in writing which had two components of scriptwriting.
While my accent may be quite at odds with Froggy, Splint, Talvi and Xahnel's (I'm Australian, with a supposedly 'upper class' accent), i'd be happy to join. I've got Audacity as a recording program and a cheap gaming headset. I might record something when I get some time on my own. My voice is probably equally as deep as Mr Frog's, perhaps deeper. Hard to tell when it's my own voice I'm hearing. While I am very poor indeed at accents, I can convey emotion quite well. Part of my recording will be one of Lord Reudh's journals during the height of his obsession with Rose, and another part will be one of them after his drug-fuelled adoration has worn off.
Mr Frog, your voice is quite clear. Well modulated, too.
Splint, you did pretty darn well. You do sound like a 'college' guy (that is, probably about my age? 20?) but by no means is that a bad thing.
Talvi, your voice was a bit deeper than I expected >_>. But like the others, you were pretty clear. Some nervousness showed, but nothing more than a very very slight quaver. Nothing to worry about.
Xahnel, what I heard of yours before the connection crapped out, your voice is pretty good. Is that your real accent at the start?
Orright... Uh, where was I. Ok.
Spearbreakers updates.I should be able to finish my turn by the end of next week, as I have midsemester break and I've completed all but one of my assignments. It's late autumn, the dwarven caravan just arrived and I believe/hope a Spawn siege is imminent. Here's hoping Queen Sibrek and her entourage don't spawn in the middle of Spawn. Heehee.
Splint, you might be amused to know that I can assign Iki to a built cage, as if he were a tame animal rather than a fort member. Also, you've been stuck in Conduct Meeting with the Law-Giver for the last season; pausing only to get food and drink. Same thing had happened with the elf diplomat Iru Lalalavera at the start of my turn. Might have to kill them to get them gone, so that the dwarven outpost liaison can elevate you to Duke.
Regarding Spearbreakers, in addition to the updates would I be able to write a journal of Softa and Ashsaber? Rather than a journal, it would be a stream of consciousness, going with what has now become headcanon; that the dwarven mind remains locked into the spawn body. My thought that one of the two's dwarven mind has gone completely bonkers and is gibbering from the horrors, and the other is clinging to sanity by being very careful about what he thinks about and what he sees.
Tomio and Draconik, i'll load up your voices when I can.
And finally, before I go to finish my work, if/when Spearbreakers 2 comes around (hopefully with FS-1!) sign me up for a turn. This is one of the best community forts I've ever seen.
