OC VOICETEST FOR CLARITY SKYLARK

Clairty is a genius detective stymied somewhat by the fact that she only really has one braincell to speak of. Her energy and good-natured desire to meddle in everything can get her most of the way, but her wacked priorities and her love of a good hearty adventure often trip her up, even when she has the best of intentions in mind. Eliminate everything else and what's left will surely be the truth! ... or a gold-plated reasonable facsimile of the truth, anyway. Cliffnotes/quick overview for meme purposes below:

Clairty IS:

• Somewhere in her ambiguously early-to-mid 20's with a pretty average build and standing at about 5'4''. She has long black hair that falls to her lower back with blunt cut bangs just above her eyebrows. She's got what could be called a plain face, but she tends to have very intense expressions which makes her features look a bit more striking than they actually are. Her only really notable facial feature is her eyes which are very striking and a very intense shade of blue.
  
• Perky Goth Detective aesthetic!! She dresses mostly in whites with accents of black. The setting is kind of quasi-Victorian era mystery so there's some elements of Lolita in there too.
  
• From a setting that runs, at least to some degree, on Rule of Funny and/or Cool. Think of something like BTAS Gotham but drenched in Harley Quinn energy and you've got the right sort of idea.
  
• A genius detective who solves all sorts of crimes that take place in the city she lives in. Her current target is the dastardly phantom thief, Bluejay!! (he's her boyfriend) (she knows he's her boyfriend) (literally neither of them see anything even remotely incongruous with this arrangement)
  
• Kind of an airhead despite her intellect – has a long of wacked priorities and sometimes self-sabotages by slacking on studies because she enjoys the experience of unexpectedly learning things so much
  
• EXTREMELY animated at all times. Always bursting with energy and eats a lot of food to make up for it.
  
• Well-meaning and unable to keep her nose out of trouble if she thinks she can help


Clairty IS NOT:

• Familiar with modern day culture or technology
  
• Genuinely cruel, actively malicious or mean-spirited to the average person
  
• In apparent posession of more than one braincell

Like my usual CMOs, I'm totally happy to roll with assumed CR, AUs, setting transplants, BASICALLY ANYTHING YA LITTLE HEART MAY DESIRE, I'M HERE TO GET ON WITH IT

[The Chariot's in a pretty old-fashioned world this time, so everybody immediately stands out. It's too bad they don't have more storage space for clothes. And so tonight, we find Kagura in a tacky Halloween-store "olden times" dress (it's not even from the right decade), walking awkwardly down the street and trying not to draw attention. Well, until she spots Clarity in a hurry.]

Wait, what? Thief?

[ditztective]

Yes! Thievery!

[ All at once, Clairty whirls around and seizes Kagura by the shoulders. It's not really an aggressive gesture so much as it is Clairty operating at a fifteen right now when everyone else here is at maybe a seven. Just accept it. ]

Did you see him come this way?!

[periclymenum]

I'm not sure! [She tenses up, probably to keep this cheap dress from fraying when Clarity grabs her.] What does he look like? I haven't been here very long!

[ditztective]

A thief, of course!

[ That's not SUPER helpful. ]

The legendary phantom thief, The Blujay! He hides his face behind that of a twittering bird's, and lulls you into a false sense of security, and then when you least expect it? He strikes, stealing away everything that's precious to you! He may call himself a Blujay, but make no mistake, he's a hawk through and through!

[ this is... such an impassioned little speech. ]

He must be put behind bars for the good of the city! Please, if you've seen anything at all, you must let me know!

[periclymenum]

[blink blink.]

That sounds serious. I haven't seen anything, but there can't be that many people wearing bird masks around here. Wait, that was literal, right?

[ditztective]

Oh yes, very much so! It's how he hides himself from the rest of the world. Perfect for a dastardly thief like him!

And if it hits you in the face, then it really hurts.

[periclymenum]

That's generally what would happen, yes... I haven't seen anything like it, but I can try! Which way did you say he was going?

[ditztective]

Oh, I have no idea whatsoever!

[ doesn't that just fill you to brimming with confidence in the police in this city? ]

But he did leave a note saying he'd be making his escape and I'm sure the trail can't have gone cold yet!

[periclymenum]

Oh... well, where did he come from?

[As she asks this, some flowery vines start to grow up out of the pavement cracks, attaching to the nearest building.]

[ditztective]

[ With way more swish than is strictly necessary, Clarity finally lets go of Kagura and spins on her heel so she can point up the street. ]

The Swallowtail Institute! They house precious gems from all over the world, so of course, it was an obvious target!

[ Going by the trajectory of her furious gesturing, it looks like she's talking about the big museum-looking building at the top of the street. ]

[periclymenum]

Oh, wow! [Kagura follows her gaze and smiles.] Looks like there are a lot of roads leading there... Have you tried getting a higher vantage point?

[With that, she grabs one of the rapidly growing vines with both hands and starts just. catching a ride up the building.]

[ditztective]

[ Without any apparent indication that she finds any of this strange, Clarity goes to hurry after her – and then all of a sudden she stops and looks more than a little perturbed. ]

By higher, you mean– the rooftops, perhaps?

[periclymenum]

[She stops growing the vines, leaving her hanging halfway up the building, where she quickly finds her footing in a windowsill.]

Why not? You'll get a better view of the city. ...oh, this is weird, isn't it. You never know from place to place.

[ditztective]

N–no, it's not that at all! I just...

[ mumblemumble, too quiet for Kagura to hear. ]

[periclymenum]

Huh... If Euchylia won't help, then what else can we do without getting a higher vantage point?

[Still said while halfway up a building. People are staring.]

[ditztective]

H–heading up to the rooftops to pursue him would be the obvious route to take – so it's clearly a trick! I'm sure he'd make his escape on the streets if he wanted to bamboozle me!

[ translation: she just doesn't want to go up onto the roofstops. s c a r e. ]

[periclymenum]

I know you're the one who lives here, but I don't really think that makes a lot of sense. There's far more traffic on the streets, and it's a lot easier to police.

[ditztective]

And that's exactly where the genius comes in! Surely you'd think he'd never risk making an escape at street level, but that's the brilliance of it! By taking such a wild risk, he obfuscates the true nature of his escape by cloaking it in the implausible! It's brilliant, don't you agree?!

[ clarity just admit you don't like heights ]

[periclymenum]

I mean... it's sort of all flying around together in my head, so no, not really.

[She looks down the street, though, to see if being up high actually will show her something]

[ditztective]

Well– first things first, get yourself down from there! It's making me dizzy just to look at you! Once you're safe on solid ground, we can formulate some kind of plan!

[periclymenum]

[She starts climbing down carefully, still looking down the street.]

Oh, don't worry! My ability is great for this. Well, I'll admit it took me a while to be able to make them strong enough.

[ditztective]

What... is this ability of yours?

[ Don't mind Clarity giving you a Suspicious Squint. It's probably fine. ]

What's the trick, precisely?

[periclymenum]

[She climbs carefully down, trying and failing to hide that she's wearing modern runners under her Halloween-store historical gown. When Clarity starts asking questions, though, Kagura pales.]

Oh, no... I mean, it's fine! Normal! Completely normal for this world! I thought we were going to a world that had these things!

[ditztective]

But it's such a fantastic trick!

[ Where'd that magnifying glass come from?? Don't worry about it. Worry about the way Clarity is peering through it at Kagura. ]

You simply must tell me how it's done!

[periclymenum]

Whoa! [She steps back and bumps into the wall.] But -- wait, you just said you hated heights! I mean, not that flowers always have to do with climbing...
