Smolder (RT): Isn't it kind of dangerous to give combat training to a class of children?
DM: There were objections raised.
Yona (FS): Considering everything we've been through… It makes sense.
Ocellus (TS): It'd be almost irresponsible not to prepare us.
Gallus (RD): Who cares if it makes sense? It rules.
Silverstream (PP): WAIT! This whole conversation just reveals one more very important question!
DM: …And what's that?
Silverstream (PP): WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH HER ACCENT? DID NO ONE ELSE NOTICE IT'S COMPLETELY CHANGED?!?
Sandbar (AJ): … I have no idea what you all are talking about.
Silverstream (PP): See?! Right there! Where did the "Ah"s and "y'all"s go?! Is this how you normally talk? Or was the southern accent normal and this is something you practiced?! WHAT IS YOUR REAL VOICE?!?!
Sandbar (AJ): … The truth is… I'll never tell.
Silverstream (PP): GYAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
Sandbar hasn't spoken enough on the comic pages at this point for too many people to have caught on past a reasonable doubt, but at the table, heard in-person, it would have been much more noticeable. Also, Silverstream squawking angrily is adorable, and with Pinkie's frantic angry voice even moreso. Couldn't resist.
Honesty doesn’t mean spilling every little secret. Especially when that secret is just a little good harmless fun like teasing your friends with a little mystery.
A long time back I needed an "exotic" accent for a fantasy larp. I settled on a romanticized old western drawl and I played that character for several years.
I still keep dropping into that accent unprompted, just because it came so naturally to me (I'm a north westerner, btw)
Still southern even if she doesn't show the accent.
"You all" is mostly common where it would be shortened to "y'all" anyway. Most other places would say "all of you" or just the collective "you."
Don't worry about it Harry, just go there and ignore the bleeding Malfoy, she will not kill you. Sure, maybe you could be hurt but that is not important, right?
Many a year ago, back when I started doing Vampire LARPs, my first character at a particular game was a Nosferatu with a hunchback. And I consistently spent all my time in-character with my shoulders held at a weird angle to simulate it. Consistently enough, apparently, that after a month or two a player I didn't know particularly well freaked out when he saw me walking around normally in an OOC area. Apparently this was the first time he'd seen me out-of-character and up until that point he'd assumed there was actually something wrong with my back.
(Fortunately for my spine, I think the character died shortly afterwards, but apparently I impressed a lot of people keeping up the hunchback thing.)
Hy ken pretty moch fall into de Jäger accent from de Girl Genius vebcomics vitout efen really tryink. Iz moch easier to speak it then to type it ov courze.
One of the players in my group loves to give her characters exaggerated accents, and she did the Jager accent for her fighter in a 5E game we started. We play via Maptools chat, BTW, so yeah, she was typing it all out.
