Endless Courting

Endless Courting

“What have you done?!” The Stranger demands as he spins around, usually blue eyes going pitch-black and seeming to pierce right through Hob’s flesh and straight into his soul. “I… I don’t… what?” Hob has no idea what he’s even talking about?! The last thing he, the very last thing either of them expects is when from one moment to the next, everything changes. The rain seems to have stopped falling, their surroundings go unexpectedly blurry. It’s like… almost like the world around them disappears (or maybe they’re the ones who disappeared from the world). Hob opens his mouth to ask what the hell’s going on exactly… when he notices something else: they’re not alone anymore. There’s a woman to one side of them… or are they three? It’s so confusing! “What… what’s going on?” Hob asks, blinking repeatedly, trying and failing to comprehend what’s going on (a part of him wondering if he’s dreaming, or perhaps hallucinating). “Hob Gadling,” The Stranger pronounces formally. “These are the Fates, the Three-Who-Are-One, the One-Who-Is-Three. The Hecate.” The Stranger bows his head at them as he introduces them, which prompts Hob to imitate him. “My ladies,” he murmurs as respectfully as he can (because what else can he possibly do?). “Morpheus, it’s been a while.” One of the ladies (Hob cannot pinpoint which one, exactly) says. “You look… agitated love.” Another of the ladies points out. “Well, that’s why we’re here, isn’t it?” Another adds, almost immediately after. Hob can barely keep up. He wonders if his Stranger… if Morpheus feels the same way, or maybe it’s Hob’s own humanity that makes him feel that way. “What…?” Morpheus begins. “Oh no dearie,” The Fates seemed to take turns speaking throughout the sentence. “This time… we shall be the ones to ask the questions.”

Some tips for using a few words to describe voices:

1. Tone Words: Use tone words to convey the emotional quality of a voice. For example, you can describe a voice as "melodic," "soothing," "sharp," "gentle," or "commanding" to give readers a sense of the tone.

2. Pitch and Range: Mention the pitch and range of the voice. Is it "deep," "high-pitched," "raspy," or "full-bodied"? This can provide insight into the character's age, gender, or emotional state.

3. Accent and Diction: Describe the character's accent or diction briefly to give a sense of their background or cultural influences. For instance, "British-accented," "Southern drawl," or "formal."

4. Volume: Mention the volume of the voice, whether it's "whispering," "booming," "murmuring," or "hushed."

5. Quality: Use terms like "velvet," "silken," "gravelly," "honeyed," or "crisp" to convey the texture or quality of the voice.

6. Rate of Speech: Describe how fast or slow the character speaks, using words like "rapid," "slurred," "measured," or "rambling."

7. Mood or Emotion: Indicate the mood or emotion carried by the voice. For example, a "quivering" voice may convey fear or anxiety, while a "warm" voice may express comfort and reassurance.

8. Resonance: Describe the resonance of the voice, such as "echoing," "nasal," "booming," or "tinny."

9. Timbre: Mention the timbre of the voice, using words like "rich," "thin," "clear," or "smoky."

10. Cadence: Highlight the rhythm or cadence of speech with descriptors like "staccato," "lilting," "rhythmic," or "halting."

11. Intonation: Convey the character's intonation by saying their voice is "sarcastic," "apologetic," "confident," or "questioning."

12. Vocal Characteristics: If applicable, mention unique vocal characteristics, like a "lisp," "stutter," "drawl," or "accented 'r'."
