Open Gin Voicetesting Post

[ogin]

This is a post for me voicetesting Gin. Hit me up with thread starters for Gin (Port Mafia coworkers? Ran into her in casualwear? Enemy organization where she can't just attack you immediately? Generic jamjar? You're dating Akutagawa Ryuunosuke and have to meet the family??) or give me a character and I'll come up with a thread starter.

Cross-canon is fine as well as canonmates!

[She has a good point about the mask. And lemon ice sounds nice. Gin expects to have to pay for it, but even so, they have time.

So she pulls off her mask and puts it away, and then lets her long hair down. If she were in a dress or kimono, she'd be the picture of a Japanese beauty. Not someone who'd automatically stand out in a crowd, especially a crowd in Japan.]

[true_noir]

[Chloe's eye sparkled a little as she did that and she nodded, trying not to say that she was beautiful. It would have come off oddly, she thought. Motioning for her to follow, she led the way out through the back.

The good news was that Gin wouldn't have to buy the lemon ice. Chloe did bring money.]

[ogin]

[Not having to pay is a pleasant surprise, and it even gets a smile out of Gin. Much easier to notice without the mask.]

...Good taste.

[true_noir]

Thank you. I like to treat myself. And it's not like it's fattening.

[Chloe liked the chance to do things like this. It was a feeling of normalcy amidst all the carnage, and helped make everything feel normal to her.]

Thanks for joining me. We might have to part ways soon, but no reason we can't have a little fun, mmm?

[ogin]

I don't usually indulge like this.

...Thanks.

[Gin had considered a number of possibilities for working with another organization's agent, but getting lemon ice hadn't been on the list.]

[true_noir]

If you know the right kinds of indulgences, the vices that don't really harm you, it never hurts to treat yourself just a little. Makes the hard work so much better, mmm?

[Was this the sort of thing she'd had planned herself? Not really, but she certainly wasn't going to say no to going out with a cute, taciturn and murderous girl. Chloe did have a type.]

[ogin]

[Gin nodded - this did make the satisfaction of a job well done even more satisfying. If it was possible, she should find a harmless indulgence once she returned home.]

...Other indulgences?

[true_noir]

I have quite a few, actually. A good glass of wine is always nice, when I am not on duty. Sometimes, the thought of going out on a date is pleasant. It all depends upon my mood and who I'm with.

What do you do for fun?

[ogin]

[Gin shakes her head silently. She doesn't have much in the way of hobbies, so it's a question without an answer.]

[true_noir]

Take a little time, when you find it, to do something a little bit fun. It makes the job stress easy to manage if you have something to do for fun when you're not training.

[ogin]

[The look Gin gives Chloe is dubious. Who has time for that when they have to balance it with mafia work?]

[true_noir]

[She gave her a beatific look right back, like it wasn't that big of a deal. Of course, the truth was that this reflected how limited of a person Chloe could be. The only thing she was ever asked to do by Soldats was kill. Anything focused on that, she knew and prepared for, but between those times, she tended to simply be left to her devices.]

mmm, just give it a chance. I'm sure you will find something fun to do.

[ogin]

...Thank you.

[That's the only thing Gin can think of to say in return. Even if she has her doubts, Chloe doesn't have any reason to offer her advice like this. They'll likely not see each other again after Gin returns to Yokohama.

This is what people mean by 'the kindness of their heart', isn't it?]

[true_noir]

[As she started to finish up her lemon ice, she sighed a little and looked up at a clock in the distance. Oh, no matter how much she might wish it, because it could be so difficult to find people she could identify with, there was no way to avoid the passage of time.]

Mmmm, I fear it is time for cinderella to disappear to her great steel coach soon, is it not?

[ogin]

[Gin nods. For some reason, she wishes she was staying for a little longer, even though there's no more work to be done.

How strange.

She hesitates for a moment longer, then writes something down on a napkin and hands it to Chloe on her way out, not waiting long enough to see her reaction.

It's her phone number.]

[true_noir]

[Chloe took it while she smiled at the woman's departure, waving once. Slipping it into her pocket, she'd send a text to Gin later on, perhaps in the next hour or two, while she'd be waiting on her flight.]

Miss you already. This is a burn phone, by the way, so I'll send you a new number if it changes.

[ogin]

[Why is there a delay for her plane home... Nothing to do but bear it and check her phone.]

It hasn't been that long.

[true_noir]

Oh, it's just something people say. Don't pay it too much mind. I did, however, want to make sure you had my number quickly enough. Wouldn't do not to share both ways would it?

Fly safely.

[ogin]

The plane is late. Right now I'm not flying anywhere.

[true_noir]

You will soon enough. And in time, you'll get used to this sort of thing. It takes a little practice to really get used to it. It doesn't come naturally to our line of wor.

[ogin]

It's not so bad.

If it weren't massive a security risk, I would start writing my report on the plane. The boss prefers to be thorough.

[true_noir]

And it is easier while the memory is fresh. Sadly, those things are walking security risks, as we both know. Still, I'm sure you'll remember the details when the time comes. I remember every one of mine.

[ogin]

An assassin being memorable is also a security risk.

[true_noir]

I suppose the only real solution to that is when their identity is only as an assassin, so there's no real record beyond that.

[ogin]

I'm not used to socializing on the job.
