Voice Test: OTA 🗣️

1. Rough Ride

[ Trying to outrun pursuers, or in the middle of a gun fight and need an evac STAT? Never fear, Shepard is here!

The ramshackle car barrelling towards you screeches into a 180 turn at the last second, almost rolling from the force of the manoeuvre as too-thin tyres lose a little more of themselves to the concrete.

With two loud BANGs, the passenger-side door yields to the kicks of the driver, crashing against the front fender in a shower of glass. ]

Get in!

[ Shepard swivels back into position with a bounce, one hand gripping the wheel and the other on the stick-shift of the ancient car. Her focus snaps back to movement in the wing mirror, body tensed like a coiled spring that's itching to hit the gas. Maybe you know her, maybe you don't, but one thing is very clear: she's trying to save your ass from whatever mess you're in. ]

2. Is This Loss?

[ Index finger thumps against pursed lips as she studies the display, brow furrowed in thought. Maybe it's something you yourself made, put a lot (or very little) effort into. Perhaps you're a fan of the arts, or maybe you're not but know this piece is valuable and are scoping the joint. Whatever your reasons, Shepard turns to look at you with her arms crossed, finger curled back into the fist resting against her chin.

Her bright eyes are piercing, her gaze unnervingly intense. ]

... I don't get it.

[ A small, self-deprecating smile and an unapologetic shrug. She's a soldier, not a critic. ]

3. Choose Your Own Adventure

[Bring it on. (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞]

( a little snort at that. )

The fish?

( but she pauses, head tilting as she inspects the artwork and the limp fish. )

That supposed you after a great night at the tavern? Or it more about getting dragged outta bed in the morning?

[onebullet]

It's a "I'm being told this guy with flowers in his ass is meaningful" look.

Unless you're telling me that's the part you relate to.

[trident]

Hey! Don't knock it until you try it.

( she smiles, followed by a quick eyebrow waggle. )

It can be fun to . . . get stuffed. Even stemmed.

( it might have sounded more suggestive if hawke didn't snort at the end of her line, amused by her own jokes. )

[onebullet]

Ugh, pass. Not sure I wanna know how that even works.

[ Shepard's smirk belies the disgust of her words, pinching the bridge of her nose between finger and thumb, and closing her eyes as if trying to shake the mental image. ]

More than a few sore heads the next day, among other things.
