[Voice Test]
[This is a Voice Testing post. There a couple of options for how to proceed. You may pick the scenario below that I have set up, or you may create your own. I am up for just about anything as part of this, so don't hesitate to set up your own framework to force me to adapt to it: this is an important part of the exercise.]
Scenario A: Your muse has arrived in a desolate badland, covered in the ruins of a long dead civilization. The winds are harsh and brutal, and the land itself feels dead. There's not much out here... except there are footsteps nearby. Groups of strange looking robots roam the landscape... and they appear to be hunting something. Or someone. And they don't take kindly to people being in restricted areas...
Fortunately, there's someone else around who will give them a hand not too far away. In fact, your character may spot this mysterious red Reploid before the search party does...
Scenario B: Pick your own, which can be as peaceful, dangerous, serious, or as lighthearted as you wish. Setting can be anywhere.

A
But then what? She shields her eyes, trying to get a better look at the surrounding area despite the winds. There--a red figure in the distance. Cautious but desperate, Terra heads in that direction. She can only hope that it's not a mistake.]
no subject
The Reploid turns to move on, only to see a very strange sight... a human woman, out here in the middle of the wastes. She looked lost and alone, and definitely didn't look like someone from Neo Arcadia.]
...Didn't expect to see a human around here. What are you doing?
[His tone is neutral and calm, but this is certainly a very unusual find.]
no subject
I'm trying to find out where I am...and where to find safety. None of this is familiar. Where are we?
[Wherever her crystal took her, it isn't home. She knows that much.]
no subject
[Somewhat dryly said, but honestly, what else could be said? Wasteland stretched on as far as the eye could see in every direction. But Zero eyed her reaching for a sword... a human still used a metal sword? Something very strange was going on.]
Safety's in short supply. You're not likely to find it easily. For now... I can keep you safe from those Pantheon Hunters. I assume you don't live in Neo Arcadia if you're all the way out here.
no subject
No. I've never heard of any of that, either.
...Pantheon Hunters? What exactly are they hunting?
no subject
[Simple enough. And truthful.]
Though they'll hunt anyone deemed seditious to Neo Arcadia.
no subject
[She glances around for them, then looks back to him.]
Well...they aren't too close yet, at least. I don't have any interest in helping them, even if they didn't hunt me. I just want to get home....
[As soon as she can remember where 'home' is.]
no subject
I don't know where you came from. But I would advise against going to Neo Arcadia if you value your freedom.
no subject
I don't even know where that is, sir. Is there anyplace safe around here?
no subject
...But I won't let that happen.
no subject
[A small, brief smile forms at his resolve.]
...would they let me in, even for a little bit? I'm not eager to fight, but I can pull my weight if it's attacked suddenly.
no subject
no subject
[If she knew where it was, that wouldn't be a problem, but she doesn't. The limitations of Teleport.]
Is it too far?
no subject
[But he could evidently.]
We've two options. Wait out the patrols for them to disperse or find and destroy the jammer. Depends how fast you want out of here.
no subject
I would like to get out of here soon. I'm not familiar with these things, but I would follow your lead....
no subject
Ciel, I found someone out here. A human. Need an emergency Trans for two when the signal clears. Get me a vector on the jammer.
[There's a muffled reply from inside Zero's helmet.]
Understood. [Zero removes his finger from the radio and turns to Terra.] The jammer's not far from here. I'll engage the enemy. You stay out of the line of fire.
[After all, she doesn't look like she could fight too well... and magic is unknown to him.]
no subject
I can defend myself. Not just with a sword, but I know some ranged attacks. I won't be a burden.
no subject
...Be careful. If you get shot, I don't have any medical supplies.
Come on.
[Zero draws a weapon from his side... a pistol, for now. He then starts running at a strong clip back the way Terra came...]
no subject
[But it doesn't hurt to be careful, especially now. She glances back to make sure they don't get ambushed, then darts after him. As long as he doesn't move at blinding speed, she'll be able to keep up.]
no subject
Soon, they reach the edge of a collapsed building, overlooking a crater below, with a large group of Pantheons and a couple of transports.]
There they are. The jammer is in one of those transports. We'll have to destroy them.
[Energy starts gathering in Zero's pistol, and it hums and slowly glows.]
I'm going in.
[And with that, Zero leaps down into the crater, firing off a large plasma blast into the nearest group of robotic soldiers. The impact causes many to explode immediately, and the rest are staggered in confusion... enough time for Zero to move in closer very soon.]
