The Tower of Voices Voting Thread

"Great job Yulia! So proud of you, you did well and even managed to avoid getting too hurt!"
"Ignore the voices being rude to you, you're amazing and a very pretty bird lady!"
"So, Yulia, could you perhaps use the sword that the skeleton once wielded? I'm otherwise happy that you'll be able to rest soon. You've earned it and perhaps could tell me more about your home, and what you'll do once you've beaten the tower of voices? Also, is the beak heavy? Do you sleep with the mask on? Are you shy about showing your face? Hobbies?"


So, noticed some chatter, figured I'd address it:
->Yep. I'm Leherengin's longtime friend IRL. We talk on a daily basis and I like reading it when I can, and also hearing them talk about all of you here in the forums. They always say good things. I'm actually going to be responsible for some art for their other series, Dustbin.
->While I get manipulating us against each-other is a truly fascinating angle to take with a story like this, and very widely used in popular media in anything comparable to a scenario like this, I think that yes, we probably shouldn't invalidate each-other's voices since, we should all be able to participate and we don't want to possibly devolve into fighting one another instead of interacting with our hero here. I don't hold anything against Blank97 here and hope they're not too upset at me or Leherengin! Let's all make a cool story together!
 
As blank to The-Blue-Heretic : I have no reason to get upset with either you or Leherengin. I thought she was upset with me. I believe strongly that the writer of the story has free rein over their story so I think even here voices' suggestions should just be that suggestions. I was not invalidating any other voice I was trying to show how hypocritical my "voice" is and thought it would be a funny thing to do and I knew Yulia will listen to everyone anyways.

As blank to to the Leherengin : I am sorry if I offended you by trying to convince Yulia her creator is evil. I just thought it would be a funny thing to do also her back story is similar to the current real world situation (the pandemic) which makes me think if there is god it sure is an evil one so I was just getting my frustration out on Yulia , I guess.

I got the error in login again and I am not blaming you I am just telling you that even before I was just telling Yulia about it in an interesting way.

While I am getting things off my chest let me just tell you when you said real life friend about the-blue-heretic I thought you were lovers. I mean not that telling a friend about writing erotica is impossible but telling a lover makes more sense. I know it is none of my business either way but just telling you that was my first thought and if I am wrong I apologize for thinking it.

Also do you prefer the pronoun "they" or "she" I was using "she" as your profile says female but if your long time IRL friend is using "they", it might be your preferred pronoun or just an attempt at hiding your gender.
 
No worries. I'm not offended. I was more just concerned about specifically calling out another voice like that. It would be hard not to have that effect things and I don't think it would have had positive effects. Voices disagreeing with each other or the like is fine, but any comments on a voice's actual identity or existence outside of the story will be ignored. At least for the most part. Something sort of meta is probably okay as for the basic concept of your schtick Don't worry, while it's a bit hard to deal with in some cases the whole, angle your going for is actually quite fun and I have no problem with it. However, the intent of the story is that I am there in a purely reactionary role so my character is intended to be basically non-existent. I as a character do not technically exist within the narrative. Except in the sense that I am controlling the way the narrative reacts to choices made.

Also Yulia's backstory is meant to be more evocative of Bloodborne and the beast plague with the church of erimalia playing the role of an actually good and somewhat effective version of the healing church.

As for my pronouns use whatever you want. My gender is rather ambivalent. But generally I use she when writing erotica and as for me and the blue heretic being lovers... Well... That's a secret shh...

Ah my apologies!~ Well, I'm sorry I misunderstood your intentions! Yes I most definitely agree our dear Yulia can see our suggestions as just that, a suggestion to be taken or ignored. I'm definitely not upset, quite the opposite, I'm intrigued and happy and excited to be in this space!
 
Very well, I expected as much. 10 Floors do seem rather doable, based on the first, altough they will no doubt get more indepth with each floor.

Are you a compulsive horder now? What good would a sword and shield do you? I doubt you would be able to even lift, yet alone wield it

So we are moving on from Zelda to Persona now, is that it?

Alright "Dreg" naturally we require more information about your services


-what is the "price" for your protection?

-what counts as an item? For example are 10 days worth of rations one single item or ten different ones?

-what counts as having an item in your posession? Is it whatever Yulia has on her person?

For now there are too many unknowns, as such I advise against spinning the wheel. Note, that we did not have received the same information about Dreg as with Alide, as such we can not rule out the possibility that this is a trap.


It is good that the tower has provided an outhouse for you, altough given that monsters apparently can appear in the rest area, the usage of it might prove quite tricky

I think the door in the left doorway has a reasonable chance of leading to Alide, as such I suggest you investigate that one first.
 
Alright, before doing anything inquire about this guy's “protection” - what it will cost you and what it entails.

Second, ignore the wheel – too risky. A curse is the last thing you need, and the other bad results aren't much better. I mean, imagine that you spin the wheel, get “Lose a piece of clothing”, and end up losing your scapula? Though I am sure Dreg would be quite happy with such a development – as well as some of my colleagues that are offering advice...

As for what to do, I recommend investigating the one door you can see – if you're lucky you might find the stairs up... probably not, though. Still, going through the left doorway and investigating the door seems like a good start. Just keep an eye out for any monsters or traps, be it on the floor, the walls, or the ceiling.

Good luck, Yulia – you'll probably need it.
 
That's alright Yulia, we all have things slip our mind, don't fret!

As for what to do, I think you should spin the wheel! We can see most of the bad options can just be solved with another luckier spin! So why not! Just... don't rest with Dreg... At least, not unless you feel absolutely fine with his price, probably should inquire about it, at the very least. I'd hate for you to be some kind of toy to a giant Minotaur or something.

(Not judging or anything but uhm, we're not gonna... perv on her while she uses the outhouse are we? I'd at the very least like a heads up for any kind of ... bathroom content)
 
Unfortunately for Gambio, no we will not be. Sorry Gambio, not really into that stuff. The outhouse inclusion, is pretty much nothing more than a nod to the fact that... yeah that is a thing and I should have thought about it, but yeah. I will not be writing any as heretic puts it, bathroom content.
 
Curses, I should never have let you read "Hard candy"

Unrelated, but I do wonder If we could get a similiar info chapter for Dreg as for Alide

My main issue with Dreg right now is that the guy is sketchy as fuck, he could be lying about everything here, including the fact that there are monsters in the rest area. If the Wheel is "fair" I actually think it would be a pretty good deal

Obviously, this might be working as intended, but I have the feeling a lot of optional content will get skipped because of the "it's a trap" mindset
 
I suppose you didn't remeber my voice Yulia, well my absence is simple, I just have other things to do. I congratulation to you for reaching secend floor and I wish you good luck in the next chalange. I would suggest to you spin the wheel. Yes, it could be risky, but my expirence with another worlds tell me, when is hight prize, there could be also hight reward. And for Dreg... I would suggest to paid him what he want for safety, you could always try to get your stuff later, when you become stronger. Keep your head low and wait for right time to strike, like snake hidding in the grass.
 
The information page for Alide was given because she is pretty much an absolutely necessary aspect of the tower and I wanted to make sure that she would see proper use. Dreg is exclusive to this floor and is intended to be optional, whether or not to use any of his services and the fear that he may just be a trap is working as intended, whether he is or not, you will have top way the potential risk that he is versus the potential risk that he isn't and he's telling the truth :D Alide and one other character you will be meeting are the only ones who I will confirm straight up are on the up and up. Otherwise, enjoy your paranoia :D
 
I see, not too unexpected.


my gut feeling right now tells me he says the truth about the wheel but is lying about the protection. Still firmly in camp no wheel tough.
 
As a voice: Yulia, it is okay to be proud of defeating a puny skeleton but don't let it get to your head, okay. And don't worry if mean voice doesn't chastise you, I will pickup her slack.
Oh, how silly of me to forget accounting for time dilation. You see the space-time continuum of every universe ...... Huhhhh, I am boring you, aren't I? Well the short version is a minute for you is hours for me.
AND I AM NOT CONFUSED YOU ARE THE ONE WHO INSIST THAT SHE IS REAL.
And please forget about Friedman(pssst if you mention him again I will suffer for it).
You have feelings for Alide don't you? Do you want me to tell her the next time you meet her or will you?
Forget Zelda, she is a bitch.
Well if you do get a vaccine at least you don't have to worry about anti-vaxxers.
You look cute in mask don't let people tell you otherwise.
YOU LIKE PUZZELS!!! What kind? Logic puzzles like sudoku, kakuro etc. or object based puzzles like rubik's cube, pyraminx(which is shaped like a tetrahedron so someone should get fired for bad naming) or maybe dodecahedron puzzle(which is named megaminx for some reason).


Oh, this Dreg could be a trap. Actually, mean voice tried to get your creator to spill the beans about this guy but she is not budging this time. Well in my opinion since the door said "greed" you should kill dreg and loot all his prizes.

As blank to the Leherengin : If killing Dreg is not an option (which I suspect) then count me in spin wheel column.

As blank to Gambio : Gambio, you have my consent.................to use my comments in this thread that is. What did you thought?
Gambio said:
It might be slightly against the rules since none of the commentors consented to it, but neither Marcie or Gina ever gave much of a shit about rules

My advice would be to take people's consent as one report could end up locking your chapter. Marcie or Gina might not give a shit about rules but you have to so just ask every one I am sure people will agree.
 
I mean that's not a bad idea. Please give permission if you can and are willing to let Gambio reference your comments in this thread and/or on the story in their Marcie and Gina review of The Tower of Voices

Edit: Also attempting to kill Dreg is an option if you can convince Yulia to do it.

I'm cool with anyone using my comments to do a review, read-along, let's play, or for any kind of transformative creative work! Go nuts Gambio!
 
blank, your dad jokes are even worse then Marcie's

I have a feeling people will be more pissed if they aren't featured in it.

I don't do dad jokes. I don't even know what a dad joke is so how can I do it.

Don't you mean people will be pissed if they are featured.

You actually didn't edit the post so you should have used "PS" like this:
P.S. I do know what a "dad joke" is. If that wasn't clear that just shows my innate inability to crack a joke. Don't worry I am used to it.
