voice test ☀ joker
the hierophant; cafe leblanc
but of course, some things don't always go as planned.
like the rare occasion where someone comes into the cafe leblanc for some coffee or curry (or perhaps both; they complement each other well here, after all) and the proprietor is nowhere to be seen. like this moment, for instance, when a certain scruffy-haired teen comes down the back stairs, bag slung over his shoulder (is that a cat popping its head out?), and he just pauses.]
Huh?
[he questions quietly, wondering why the place is unattended—he can only guess it was meant to be brief, and with the assumption that nobody would show up. whoops?
either way, it looks like akira is walking himself behind the counter, placing down the bag and picking up an apron like a semi-pro. unless you're one of the phantom thieves, in which case he's not helping your ass unless you ask, like a true pal.]
Can I help you?
[see? totally a pro!]
the magician; mementos
until there's a rustling sound. one corner. the next. then behind a pole.
...do you feel like you're being watched?
...or maybe like someone is about to ambush you?
well, it doesn't matter, because as soon as joker has discerned that this isn't an aggressive shadow, but someone else, he'll somersault out from where he's hiding, gun in hand. to those who know him, he may seem familiar, even recognizable entirely. to anyone else, this masked trickster is joker of the phantom thieves. his smirk skirts on the dangerous side, knowing he's got someone cornered—though he doesn't seem particularly aggressive before asking the most important questions:]
Who are you? ["and why are you here?" he doesn't lower his gun completely though, instead twirling it in his hand.
show off.]
the chariot; texts
...well, he probably does! except that he fell asleep, so being woken up to a text that says "do you have a second?" or some variation of it is going to be met with a response.]
1.
[and then, immediately after that, a second text:]
Time's up.
[nobody said it would be a helpful response. please though, continue.]
the fool; wildcard
no subject
Haha, I guess so!
I'll give you a pass this time around, then.
no subject
[why is he like this?]
no subject
[. . . she was trying to tease, but when she rereads her message, it just. sounds. weird]
W-wait, I'm not sure that really conveys the joking tone I was trying to send?
Aaaargh, sometimes texting is hard!
no subject
[is he joking? is he serious? it's equally hard to say in text, but... akira will be akira, so he plays it totally straight.]
no subject
I'm going to take that as a compliment.
So thanks!
[ANN'S SINCERITY CUTS THROUGH ANY JOKING]
no subject
[he can roll with it, at least. everyone can use a positive ego-boost sometimes, and ann deserves it. she's good, it's fine.]
no subject
Maybe it's your natural charm!
[although she's simultaneously laughing at him from her side of the phone so you know. it's an endeared laugh]
no subject
[is he serious or is futaba just rubbing off on him? who knows, it's a mystery. he seems perfectly content with that statement, though.]
no subject
You've been talking to Futaba a lot lately, haven't you?
[you're such a weirdo Joker???]
no subject
[so that's a yes, but honestly, even at that, akira may just be a weirdo on his own sometimes.
a lot of the time.]
no subject
I think you picked up geek disease while you were there.
I doubt there's any cure.
But it's okay! It's part of both yours and Futaba's likability.
no subject
[that was never going to happen anyway. his humor is too dry, honestly.]
Please support me in my new life path.
