Voice Post:

(Oh my God, I hate my voice. I CANNOT BELIEVE I REALLY SOUND LIKE THAT. WHY DID I NOT REPLAY IT BEFORE POSTING?)



EDIT: Expansion on the Life on Mars/Silent Hill crossover idea mentioned (made ten times better by the fact that you do not have to listen to my voice!):

- The end of the second episode of Series One, with the sewers and the board-with-a-nail and the radio interference, was pure Silent Hill. Seriously. And there are staticky televisions and they are the same, apart from the fact that one of them is a time-travel cop drama. Erm. Maybe not exactly the same.
- Obviously, Sam and the team venture into Silent Hill for, er... well, I cannot think of any good reason for them to be going after a reported crime in Silent Hill. It's not exactly their patrol area, after all. They just do. Then Sam starts going insane (even more insane than usual, I mean) and begins to forget about the future. THERE IS SOMEHOW SOME SORT OF A PLOT POSSIBLY. Chris probably dies at some point. I am sorry, Chris; I like you, but you seem like the sort of person who would die in Silent Hill. Sam angsts about not being able to tell what is real and about his relationship with Gene and also because Silent Hill is generally a place of angst. The end! Awesome crossover!
- It is, admittedly, not the most detailed plan ever made.

Two things:
1) Your accent reminds me a bit of my friend Sinead. Er, this is a good thing?
2) I don't know a huuuuge amount about Silent Hill except that I've seen the film and also my heterosexual life partner, maestro1123, wrote a pretty fantastic Mighty Boosh/Silent Hill crossover. It was mad and I know she's not hugely pleased with it but, personally, I rather adored it. Idk if you know anything about the Boosh (you probably hate it now that I've said that so, er, sorry) but here is a link: http://community.livejournal.com/booshslashhaven/239511.html

She's in Japan right now - I say "right now", I mean "for a year" - so hasn't seen any of LoM s2, but she's planning to catch herself up asap. I'll mention that there's someone as obviously insane as her. ;)

[rionaleonhart]

I, er, know absolutely nothing about the Boosh, but I am probably going to end up reading the fic anyway, because I firmly believe that everything in the world should be crossed over with Silent Hill.

...right, I have just clicked the link and OH GOD PYRAMID HEAD. HE GAVE ME HORRIBLE NIGHTMARES.

Your voice is wonderful. You sound exactly like how I would like to sound, but I've lived in the North of England for too long and I don't think the accent will entirely go - it's not strong at all, just clipped vowels and not as pretty and shiny as yours.

Erm, yes, I did mean to say all of that without sounding creepy, but I appear to have failed at that.

I would write it for you, or try, but I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SILENT HILL YOU WRITE IT.

Ahem.

[rionaleonhart]

I am so incredibly gladdened by the assurance that my voice will not necessarily make everyone frantically search for things to stuff into their ears that I do not care at all about creepiness. Thank you!

BUT BUT BUT oh, dear, I probably am going to end up writing it, aren't I?

[littlemoose.livejournal.com]

You sound lovely! I should do a voice post so that you are forever scarred by my horribly broad N.Irish vowels...

And this is where I get to play my get out of jail free card in the form of not knowing much about Silent Hill! :D

[rionaleonhart]

Hee, thank you! I was genuinely worried that people would go 'OH MY GOD, I HATE RIONA'S VOICE SO MUCH THAT I SHALL NEVER READ HER ENTRIES AGAIN.' Which, er, was a slightly irrational thing to think, in retrospect.

Blast, why is there almost no overlap between the Life on Mars and Silent Hill portions of my friendslist?

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

Yes! You should totally do a voicepost! I technically can't, but I just used a mic and some recording program and uploaded it and posted it in my LJ and that's almost the same thing.

Damn you and your card :p.

*DANCES AT YOUR VOICE*

Oooooh, I would like to put Ray in Silent Hill, because he's a bastard. Not Annie, 'cause she's lovely. And Chris in Silent Hill, that's just mean, and Ray would mock him and his fear SO MUCH.

Also, Sam and Gene would see different things, and you just KNOW that Testcard Girl and her clown of evil will show up. Possibly like Laura did. They're equally evil anyway. And that Hypnotist Guy who does maths on the telly would appear too, somehow.

I THINK that it would work best if Silent Hill only affected one person? And that the others would mock Sam (because of course SH would affect Sam) a lot until they died somehow, or Sam thinks they're dead until they turn up later, like Maria.

OR SAM COULD FIND A MYSTERIOUS HOLE IN HIS APARTMENT AND DECIDES TO INVESTIGATE IT, for he is a loonie and thinks it'll lead back to 2006.

I DON'T KNOW.

[lo0o0ony-lauren.livejournal.com]

Seeing Chris genuinely frightened and/or in pain would probably break my heart juuuuuuust a little bit. In my mind he's basically a child. I would like to say, though, that if I had to go to Silent Hill with one person? I'd definitely want it to be Gene Hunt.

[rionaleonhart]

YES. TEST CARD GIRL IS TERRIFYING AND WOULD FIT RIGHT INTO SILENT HILL.

I THINK that it would work best if Silent Hill only affected one person?

Hmmm, yes, that could definitely work. It would be Sam, of course; he is the insane one, after all. And Gene would be shouting 'WHAT THE HELL, YOU PRAT, THERE ARE NO MONSTERS.'

[twilit-wanderer.livejournal.com]

I know nothing of Life on Mars, but everything can - and should - be crossed over with Silent Hill. I realize that statement is not necessarily a sane one.

Also, I am surprised, because you sound very much like how I'd kind of imagined.

[rionaleonhart]

It is, however, a true one. I actually made a list of all the Silent Hill crossovers I could find a while ago.

Really? Obviously, you are psychic. (I was planning to say 'Sir Lancelot had a bath made of glass on the grass in the castle' at some point in the voicepost, by the way, but forgot.)

[mad-lemming-89.livejournal.com]

N'aaaaaw, pretty voice! *pets you!* :) That sounds like an awesome crossover! Pity I don't know Silent Hill at all, because otherwise, I'd write it. But noooooooo, Chris! T^T *huggles him* I'd rather Ray died. *evil grin*

...

You're right. It IS utterly insane. And I love it. X3

[rionaleonhart]

I really wouldn't want Chris to die, because he is so lovely and sweet and killing him would be horrible, but I fear that he wouldn't last long in Silent Hill. Although maybe Ray could protect him; the two of them seem to get on fairly well.

[thebaconfat.livejournal.com]

You sound both exactly the way I thought you would and not at all how I expected. I... I don't know. You sound older than I thought you would! But maybe that's just because to my ears British accents make everyone sound very sophisticated. Your accent's very much like kadrin's.

YAAAY YOU MADE A VOICE-POST

[squeemu.livejournal.com]

I AM NOT HORRIBLY CREEPY FOR LISTENING TO YOUR POST TWICE because I was transfixed by the fact that that was actually you. I do not think your voice is awful! I, er. I hope this doesn't come out sounding horrible and you refuse to speak to me again, but your voice actually sounded more mature than I was expecting? And by "mature" I actually mean, you know, older instead of "less childish" because I wasn't expecting childish and oh god I'm digging myself into a deep, deep hole.

OMG YOU REALLY ARE BRITISH SPARKLY HEARTS.

Also? At the end there, when you said, "Thank you, bye" it reminded me of Jeremy Clarkson at the end of an episode, "Thanks for watching, goodnight." OBVIOUSLY YOU ALREADY HAVE SWITCHED BODIES.

I WANT TO WATCH THE SECOND SEASON. Do you know if it's available anywhere?

...also, I just noticed Baco said exactly what I said about how your voice sounded. WHEN I TYPED THIS COMMENT UP, IT WAS 1 PM. NOW IT IS 9 PM. CURSES. Am I perhaps in a time loop of some sort?

[rionaleonhart]

I AM OFFENDED FOR EVER. Sounding older than people expect is, er... well, I have no idea whether it's a good thing or not. Hmmm. (This is further proof, of course, that you and Baco are the same person.)

I AM NOT JEREMY CLARKSON. LIES.

Why do you sound so terrifyingly confident? It's really quite alarming. Um, your voice is also nice, but - but confidence! I want to hear what my voice sounds like now. I used to record messages on the answerpjhone with my brother (yes, stupidest activity ever) and I sounded horribly nervous even then... I sound so much better in my head.

Silent Hill is, from what I hear, mentally scarring and generally dreadful and something I should avoid like the plague and therefore Life On Mars should not suffer it's awfulness; however, I do think you should write it, because your Silent Hill/Scrubs crossover was brilliant, and you have not yet written Life On Mars. You should not kill poor Chris, though *hugs Chris*.

(Also, why do I keep putting full stops instead of '<'s? It is maddening.)

[newbie1990.livejournal.com]

answerphone *dies of shame*

[rionaleonhart]

You think I sound confident? You're joking. If there's any hint of confidence in there at all, it's only because I'd already had one go at recording the message, so I had a better idea of what I meant to say this time around. My first attempt was full of long pauses and 'um's, and my voice was audibly shaking.

If I write the crossover, it will obviously need to be in the next three minutes, because after that I won't be allowed to use whatever interpretation of Sam's mental state would be most convenient. Blast!

It's so very weird actually hearing people on LJ but I'm loving it *g*

[draegonhawke.livejournal.com]

...I don't suppose you know of a way for me to get LoM Series 2 episodes, is there? I seem to be on something of a Silent Hill kick at the moment.

[dorcas-gustine.livejournal.com]

I want you to know that i really, really hate you!!!

No, that's actually not true.

But it's your fault that now I have a LoM/SH plot bunny in my hean. But it's not a plot bunny, it's more of a rabid were-bunny with big shiny teeth and blood-spattered fur, the kind you meet in Silent Hill.

And you know the sad thing? it's a DAMN GOOD BUNNY!!! it's a DAMN GOOD STORY.

AND I WILL NEVER WRITE IT!!!!

BECAUSE I'VE GOT NO TIME AND WAY TOO MANY THINGS TO DO!!!!

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!!
