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!

It may be a long time before I see you again. Don't wait up for that.

[true_noir]

Don't worry about me. I know that going in. Still, perhaps the chance will come along.

[Hey, she could wait years if she got invested enough. The price of difficult to meet tastes.]

[ogin]

Perhaps. I don't expect to be so lucky, but I would like to meet again.

[true_noir]

As would I. I will speak with my mistress and see if there is reason for our families to have contact again. Keeping a healthy relationship is useful, after all.

[ogin]

If I brought it up with the boss, my motives would be transparent.

[Mori's greatest asset to the mafia is his intelligence.]

[true_noir]

It is why I will bring it up with my mistress. I would not hide part of my reasons. She would decide if it is appropriate on its own merits. I am allowed my emotions. She is not concerned about them.

[ogin]

The boss would not approve.

[She doesn't know the story of Oda Sakunosuke and Mori's manipulations to get rid of the dear friend of his chosen executive prodigy, but she knows that Mori does not particularly enourage his subordinates to have feelings. He isn't blatant about discouraging it either, but it's apparent that speaking to Mori about this would be... stupid? Stupid.]

[true_noir]

Then we will simply have to wait for a "Legitimate" reason to come along. If there is to be joint work with my people, it would almost certainly involve myself and possibly one other. The knights are for more local work.

[ogin]

If that does happen, I can volunteer to be part of the mission.

[That might not go up all the way to the boss for approval, and if it did he might allow it.]

[true_noir]

[And Chloe was not above manipulating events to help that along without telling anyone, so long as it did not damage the Soldats' bottom line or Gin's own.]

Exactly. Let us hope for a happy accident in that case.

[ogin]

Someday.

In the meantime, there's other things to text about.

[true_noir]

Agreed, but it's your turn, so you pick the next topic. I'm curious what you'd choose.

[ogin]

[She has to think for a second, but...]

Do you have family at all?

[true_noir]

Not traditionally, but Mistress Altena is like a mother to me, and always has been. Kirika is almost like my older sister in so many ways though a lot more too. We trained alongside each other for years.

My blood relatives, though, consigned me to the organization. They are my blood now and have always been so.

[ogin]

I understand. Many people feel similarly about the Port Mafia.

For me they're an extended family. My blood brother will always be my closest relative.

[true_noir]

You still have that bond of closeness. That's wonderful. I don't envy it, but in a way Mistress adopted me, and I have always felt to be adopted is the same as blood in a sense.

[ogin]

It is. Blood relation isn't that important. Plenty of adopted siblings are closer than my brother and I.

[true_noir]

Family is always the most important. I think I would do anything for someone I loved like that. But I think that's something you understand well.

[ogin]

I feel the same. My brother may not show it much, but he's similar.

[He'd be more protective if Gin couldn't protect herself.]

[true_noir]

In our line of work, I don't think any of us are truly allowed to show it that much, save when we're in the privacy of the night, away from the task at hand. Can't allow ourselves to show the slightest weakness or attachment publicly after all.

[ogin]

Attachment is weakness. Affection is weakness. And there are plenty who would seize on any weakness we show.

[That's how it's always been, and Gin doesn't foresee that changing anytime soon.]

[true_noir]

And of course, being human, none of us are immune to it, but we just have to be careful of its expression, especially in public. I'll admit that isn't my strongest suit.

[ogin]

I could tell.

[true_noir]

And yet, I do not think I detect any judgment in my attempts to form an attachment of sorts, do I? Does that make you guilty, or simply tolerant of the interest?

[ogin]

I don't think I'm as obvious about it.

But just as guilty.
