quit nagging, i'll get to you eventually

[thievingly]

Make up your mind already!

[Jeez, you're loud.]

Of course I'm gonna be loud! It'd be hard to hear me over all the other muses you've got in here!

[But he grins once that's out there; it seems like his mun is finally paying attention.]

Alright, let's get something straight. I want to go somewhere. I've wanted to go somewhere for a long time but you've been insisting that you don't have time. Look, mun, you've got plenty of time. I'm not stupid. So let's get this show on the road already!

You're considering two places; that's good! Now you've just gotta choose one and finish up an app. It won't be hard! You know me pretty well, don't you? So it'll be no sweat! You can do it!

[And muttered more to himself:] You'd better do it.

Comments

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Maybe if you asked nicely...

[And maybe not so loudly.]

Your mun might give you a little more attention.

[thievingly]

Hey, I'm being plenty nice! Besides, I've been rotting in her headspace for years! I think I'm entitled to be a bit cross.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well, give her time...

Muns sometimes get distracted with things once in a while, I know it's taken forever for my mun to try and send me into a game again. Though I'm not sure how long it'll be before she loses interest and start losing her confidence again.

[thievingly]

Yeah, she really does get distracted very easily...

Hopefully your mun won't lose her confidence. It's awful having to stay in the headspace forever.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well, the good thing about being me is that I never shut up.

[Extends her hand.] Nivalis 'Saft' Goldenscale. Uhm, most people all me Saft.

[thievingly]

That's certainly one way to keep your mun's attention!

[He'll take that hand and shake, grinning widely.]

The name's Moby. Nice to meet you!

[There are Reasons why he doesn't reveal his last name, but those aren't important now.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Yeah, to be fair she probably shouldn't have revealed hers. It's not like he'd know about her lineage or anything like that would be?]

Always nice meeting someone new!

[thievingly]

Yeah, it always is.

[...]

So where are you from? I've heard a bit about other worlds thanks to my mun, but this is really my first time out of the headspace, you know? So what's your world like?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well, it's exciting to say the least! There's always something going on and normally I get to be at the center of it all.

...And it's kinda full of dragons.

[Might as well be honest with him.]

[thievingly]

Dragons? Really? They don't exist where I'm from. I mean, there are stories about them and all, but no one's ever seen one.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...Would you like to?

[thievingly]

Of course I would!

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Well maybe someday she might show him one.]

What about you. What's your world like?

[thievingly]

[Huh, shame she doesn't have one on her...]

My world's nothing special; just a few magic-users and some angry gods to deal with.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Yeaaaaah real shame that. Though said dragon might be a little closer than you think.]

Hmm, We have magic in our world too. Though I can't say we don't normally have to worry about any gods or anything like that.

[thievingly]

Oh yeah? Sounds like you got lucky. Seems that our gods are angry more often than they are happy; we're constantly getting storms and things like that lately.

[That might have something to do with what Moby's planning, but he's choosing not to see it as an omen!]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well, If there are any gods in Dragonsbayne I've yet to meet them... I mean don't get me wrong I'm pretty sure they might be around it's just - I don't know much about them...Let' just say I'm kinda knew to the area I'm living in.

[thievingly]

Oh yeah? So is it like... a different land or something? We don't leave the realm where I'm from; to do so is to meet with certain death.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Right, I'm still learning all the customs too.

I feel like it's going to me a while to get everything right.

[thievingly]

I can only imagine. Good luck with that!

[rebelwithoutaface]

Time, it's relative. Literally and figuratively.

[thievingly]

...yeah, I guess. What's your point?

[rebelwithoutaface]

Well, I could be making a lot of points but I didn't have one in mind when I said that, so I'll pick one at random. Hm.

Okay, think of it like this! When they're not actively thinking of you, you're not experiencing anything at all. Your 'long time' is actually two points reached instantaneously, whereas your mundane has had to experience every single second without interruption. So, in terms of time experienced you've had a fraction of the amount they have had to endure, and theirs is more valuable, even to you as it's needed for you to even exist. So... Don't hog it, or something.

[thievingly]

[......................]

Huh, I never would've thought about it like that! I guess maybe I was being a bit hard on her then. Though she really could stand to pay more attention to me...

[rebelwithoutaface]

There you go, one step closer to universal peace and understanding between all peoples. That's my good deed for the day.

[thievingly]

That sounds like a lofty goal! You really think you can accomplish it?

[rebelwithoutaface]

What kind of idiot picks a goal they can achieve? You need something where you can make no difference either way, that way no one can tell when you're not doing it properly.

[thievingly]

...You've got quite the unique way of thinking, you know that?

[rebelwithoutaface]

Yeah, but I stole it from someone more talented.

[thievingly]

Really? Well then, they've got a really unique way of thinking!

[rebelwithoutaface]

Not anymore.

[thievingly]

What do you mean? Are they dead?

[rebelwithoutaface]

No, I just stole their way of thinking. Now they enjoy the colour beige and filling in tax forms.

[thievingly]

Oh, so you literally stole their way of thinking...

[.................]

That's a pretty awesome thing to steal! I'm impressed!

[rebelwithoutaface]

Stealing original ideas is something people do every day without even being in the same room. Not that special.

[thievingly]

Well yeah, but you took his way of thinking and left him with generic thought! That's really fascinating!
