[ A duck call. ]
[ An imitation of a doorbell. ]
[ A long gargling noise. ]
[ Short, intent hisses. ]
[ The clang of -- okay, where the hell did someone find a gong? ]
[ A slam! ]
[ That's a pretty spot-on goat bleat. ]
[ Some horrible strange yipping. ]

being vaguely sinister is boring. let's have some fun.
anonymously, what's the strangest sound that you can make?

What the hell was that last noise?

anon text/voice;

[palebee]

the voice of imagination. come on. be sporting. a noise for a noise.

[ High-pitched beeping. ]

anon text;

[tradire]

[ What the–?????

Seriously. Is this the caliber of people Asgard is letting in? Is there no screening process or??? ]

And what is it, exactly, you find fun about irritating noises?

anon voice;

[palebee]

[ He considers typing out an explanation, but decides it's too long-winded, too much like him, and too little in the spirit of things.

Instead, there's an attempt at the loud ticking of a clock, followed by three distinct cuckoos. Enjoy, Loki. ]

[Voice]

[2cool4guardian]

[Fuck anon, the Guardian of Fun approves of this post. After laughing at the sounds (especially the last one), he makes one of his own, some kind of growls that make it seem like the creature he's imitating is actually talking.]

anon voice;

[palebee]

[ Is that -- that almost sounds East European... he resists the urge to traipse through a mental catalogue of languages. Another time.

He mimics the growls capably enough, rumbling on for a short bit before working a few words in. It's rather as if a sleepy bear were trying to speak. ]

Finally, good conversation.

Audio, Anon

[izanyagi]

[First, the sound of the Junes Jingle (without the words).

Then, the near perfect sound of a few cats. Did someone just lower their bracelets to them, or was he just that good? It is a mystery.]

anon voice/text;

[palebee]

very pretty! who knew we had feline composers?

[ A matching purr, interrupted by the loud barking of a dog -- then a startled hiss and mrAAAooWW. ]

you could form a band.

voice

[fire_punk]

[Kevin had to sneak into the kitchen to come up with something for this. Have some loud banging on pots and pans. But it's remarkably similar to someone trying to play a drumbeat.]

anon voice

[palebee]

[ As Kevin's recording fades, out, he picks up the beat on his own stage. The hollow tings of pen on mug and desk follow, tapping back a response. Albus considers an attempt at Morse, but decides against it. Too much effort, on too little of a chance of understanding.

He switches up the pattern, suddenly speeding, then falling back -- as if waiting for an answer. A small one-up, ready for response in kind. ]

anon | voice.

[ffuckoff]

[Fiona thinks anon posting is Dumb, but this guy asked for anon, and so she'll go anon. Still, she does a voice post, so people can tell who she is if they're curious. This seems like something that might be fun for kids, so she adds her shitty talent to the pile.]

Alright, here. In high school, I learned this instead of World Civ. [And she makes the water drop noise.]

anon text

[palebee]

[ A secretary of many talents, evidently. In Mermish, you just insulted a grandmother. ]

okay, that one's new to me. i gotta know how.

audio (Ryoji-mun gave me permission to do this)

[runtothesunlight]

[He was NOT going to do this, but Ryoji caught wind of the post and somehow convinced him that if he made good animal puppets, he could make animal sounds too.

First sound he makes is a cat's "meooowwww", followed by the sound of a fox (just so some people won't mistake the two). Then he makes the sound of a boat horn. (Growing up near a port has that advantage.) In the background, his friend can be heard laughing saying "Amazing Minato!".

He sighs, and well, since they asked for the strangest sound you could make, he makes the sound of Tanaka's Commodities theme. (without the words)]

anon voice/text;

[palebee]

[ Enthusiastic (if solo) applause, and a merry, genuine laugh. ]

fantastic! that's the best showing yet. after that you've earned a prize. i'll leave it in the fountain nearest to the library, top spout.

[ Anyone who decides to check it out will shortly find a bright bundle of tinfoil, pressed into the shape of a star. Inside, at the very center, there's a small, brilliant blue glass marble. ]

[optimistical]

[ What even... ]

Wow, those... are some pretty interesting noises, especially that last one...

[palebee]

thank you! can you give it a shot?

[voice; anon]

[proudofwhatiam]

[It's quiet for several seconds until a remarkably accurate imitation of a cat's yowl comes across. Not meow, not purr, yowl. Thank goodness for anonymity, and hopefully no one in Odin heard that.]

anon text;

[palebee]

[ Was that you, Miss Carnahan? It might be anyone on the first floor, the way the sound travels, but walking back from the kitchen, he startles nearly bad enough to drop the pile of pots in his arms. Which are being used for unrelated purpose, of course. A last minute fumble and save itself saves them all the trouble of tiresome explanations. ]

i hope no tails were trod upon for that!

audio; anon

[feathery]

[There's a brief silence, long enough that it seems like he might reconsider (but nah), and then a quick snippet of this.

He doesn't really have a reason to be anon, but who cares. He'll go along in spirit.]

anon voice/text;

[palebee]

[ Okay, that's just impressive. ]

are you a wizard?! that's incredible

[ He cracks himself up. ]

audio; anon

[abhero]

[A few phrases of a simple melody, played on a leaf flute.]

anon voice/text;

[palebee]

[ How wonderfully odd. Too shrill to be properly instrumental, yet not quite a whistle, either. He hums the melody briefly under his breath. ]

pretty -- your own arrangement?

[text;]

[sassgardian]

Most noises I would name particularly "fun" hardly work of out context. I suppose you could try, of course, but it's never quite the same.

[Fandral, no. Why always over anonymous texts. Fandral.]

[palebee]

[ ...Really, dude. Really. ]

best not to. you know what they say about crying wolf.

audio;

[curiousing]

[ Even if Jack decided to do so anonymously it would most likely be easy enough to figure out who this was. So, whatever. Jack don't care.

Which is why there is the sound of what you assume to be someone playing a xylophone for a couple of minutes, accompanied by chattering teeth. ]

anon voice;

[palebee]

[ Oh, he can guess. The guy's a whimsical ambulatory skeleton, it seems a half-likely assumption. But Albus has never known bones quite so melodious -- whatever magic keeps the man moving must also assist in his audio reproduction.

A short, frightened shriek, followed by his best deep, throaty, maniacal laughter. Decent villain laugh you've got there, Dumbles, but no doubt the King of Halloween can do better. ]

audio.

[therightchoice]

[ Jesse makes an impression of a car alarm. WHEEEE-WHOOO-WHEEEE-WHOOOO beep beep. ]

[ Is that...a lighthouse siren? But what of the rest of it? ]

oh no! what should we watch out for?

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

[ Have an alien noise from the Doctor! (The beeping one in the beginning of this video.) He manages does a very good job of it, too. It's what happens when you're bored and all alone in the TARDIS.

anon voice/text;

[palebee]

[ He tries to match it, to markedly less success, and bursts into muted laughter instead. ]

fascinating! i've never heard that one. how do you make it?

[Video]

[okamichild]

I can howl. [ it's not strange for him, but most humans would say it is. ]

anon voice/text;

[palebee]

[ An attempt at a howl. It's not particularly convincing -- but a portion of that is, admittedly, thrown on purpose. ]

let's hear it then, you have to be able to do better

voice;

[doggedly]

["voice" because Sirius is going to cheat... and let Morholt bark for him. it's very convincing, of course, because it's an actual dog's bark, low and gruff and short.]

[ Upon consideration the jury will agree to allow it, this time. Upon consideration, the jury is going to try something a little different. Quick images of fresh meat -- a bone -- green grass. ]

voice.

[coronavitfossor]

[ Might as well join the party.

Allen sticks his finger inside his mouth, and sticks it by his cheek. There's probably some other sounds he could make, but that was probably the easiest. ]

I'm not too good with making noises.

anon voice/text;

[palebee]

i thought it was an interesting one!

[ If one that perhaps a few too many students are fond of making in class. Still, no call to let such minor quibbles disrupt the far greater education of funny noises. ]

can you show us how to do it?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

[Alice is in a fit of giggles.]

I like this sort of anonymous message more than others.

Oh! I have a sound as well!

[She mimics that of a cat, even with a purr.]

anon voice/text;

[palebee]

very nice! pawsitively purrfect.

[ The bright jingle of bells, and a whinny. ]

how would you make an anonymous message fun?

[Anon - Text]

[cyan_maid]

WERE you being vaguely sinister? I couldn't tell.

anon text

[palebee]

vague, sure. what's a sinister noise to you?

[audio]

[fuckingwolverine]

[Lilly imitates all these sounds with varying degrees of success (her duck call and hisses are particularly good; her door bell and gong particularly bad), then adds some noises of her own: growls, barks, and howls.]

anon voice;

[palebee]

[ FINALLY, someone with a bit of pizzazz. If only it weren't an apparent feral child, but well -- beggars and choosers.

The regular, even purring of a cat, followed by a brief snatch of hummed nursery rhyme. In the tree-tops... ]

What a ridiculous exercise.

[palebee]

naturally. your contribution?

[Audio]

[knightime]

Oh hell yeah. I got this. You know those things all over the city? The nugs. I started talking to them. They make these weird ass noises. I think that's the weirdest I've made for now, but there's always potential for something new.

can you find one and record it? call it a quest
