Elves have accents. What do they sound like?
The GF in the AITA who LARPed as an elf during a Zoom call supporting her BF's relative who was undergoing chemo: Irish
Standard Received Pronunciation (and NOT Icelandic, which Tolkien wanted but the rest of the cultured world rejected): the King's/Queen's English
A culture that is a goofy relic of the past and weirdly monotonal and emotionless whilst proclaiming the supremacy of their race: 1920s Mid-Atlantic radio voice
My superior theory to reflect a greying population watching their ancient culture be sullied and ultimately subsumed by a decadent modern west: Japanese
Ceddy's inferior theory, based on a subversion of how Dwarves appear to be the ultimate drunken, hard-fighting, hard-fucking townies: Boston townie
honorable mentions:
California Stoner vocal fry (High Elves)
Icelandic/Norse (Tolkien's original vision)
French (because of course)
Australian (for the antipodean Drows)

Presumably when the players are talking to an NPC at some point a manager who is clearly a devil would come over "Hey guys! I see you're talking to Mark, one of our super stars! I'm sure he'll find what you need, won't you Mark"
Mark: *noncommittal groan*
Manager: "Ha ha, that's the spirit! Mark, don't forget it's your turn to bring chips to the mandatory holiday party tonight and also could you work late, Vogthoth called out sick. Great, thanks, sorry to interrupt folks!"
Is that enough or does like, an imp also then throw a rock at Mark or something? Just little infernal kids going around pulling items off shelves while their parent argues with someone on the phone in front of the area he's trying to restock?
The problem with Drizzt is that he doesn't have enough people that want him
they came close with Arunika and Dalia and PROBABLY Artemis Entrari all at once but they missed an opportunity
I think it's closest to 1920s Mid-Atlantic probably

It's a half-American, half-British way of pronunciation (hence "mid-Atlantic") that was done as a radio-voice and movie-voice for posh people a long time ago.
ED: Movie voice, not move-voice.

I feel like that's actually Heaven, which is so considerate and inoffensive as to be dreary and depressing
Hell is obviously the salt-brined sea in chip form, because it's bad for you but it feels so good

Isn't total travelers way down though?

I give thanks every day. #blessed

Thursday, so depending on your time zone, yes.

Surely you won't let your deepest desires go over a little loyalty test?
Never hear anything but working class orcs, do you? Maybe Sauron is just trying to unionise them, and Gandalf is a strikebreaker.

Volume is around half apparently, though Im not sure how much comfort I find in that
Hrm, comments on that tweet are asking for passenger count
So maybe this isn't actually as bad as it seems
Just thinking of an ethereally beautiful LOTR style elf in all their finery just yelling that absolutely trash line is quite the mental image.
There was some guy, Russian I think, who wrote a version of the story where Sauron is trying to build an egalitarian industrial society and gets overthrown by a superstitious and wildly racist hereditary aristocracy.
THIS IS THE JOKE I’M TRYING TO MAKE
