this guy won't go away

[lezareno]

I see that you're pulling me out again. You do seem more determined this time to do more with me than before. How about we start with something easy, like a canon review. It can't hurt to go over a few things do ensure that you're performing at your best.

--oh? What's this with me being a unpopular character? I find that to be a bit unfortunate. After all, I'd like to consider myself quite prominent back home.

MUFFLED SCREAMING INTO THE NIGHT...

[wilder]

Well well, now there's a man I haven't seen in a long time!

DON'T LOSE YOUR VOICE NOW

[lezareno]

Ah, Zelos Wilder. I can't say the same; it hasn't been so long for me.

[wilder]

Oh yeah, timelines and these places are strange like that.

So how've you been! Still into handcuffs?

[lezareno]

They can be a bit troublesome.

I've fared well lately, thank you. Unfortunately, however, I'm taken from before my removal of these cuffs. What about yourself? Still up to your usual tricks?

[wilder]

Oh man, that's a bummer.

And tricks? Ha! I don't know what you're talking about Regal, I'm perfectly innocent!

REACHES DRAMATICALLY

[reunites]

Unpopular? [He sounds incredulous. REGAL IS SO COOL THO.] Anybody who says that really doesn't know what they're talking about.

[lezareno]

I'd like to say the same, but there is some true to my muns words. There does seem to be a lack of me compared to the others in our group.

[reunites]

I guess I'm lucky I get to see you now, then, huh?

[lezareno]

I suppose so. Have you fared well, Lloyd?

[reunites]

Yeah, pretty good, I guess! Things got-- [what is the best way to put this] really weird, but we're figuring it out.

[in his defense, he is only good at words sometimes.]

[loving_goddess]

I have found that being prominent figures in our own worlds doesn't necessarily lead to popularity with those outside of it, which is probably what your mun is referring to.

Not that I'll ever be used to the position I've found myself in on Aselia...

[lezareno]

Lady Martel, I presume?

Yes, it is both a shame and a comfort.

[loving_goddess]

Just Martel is fine, I assure you.

It does lead one to wonder what it is about our mundanes that lead them to us. Perhaps they simply look for those who rarely played? Or "find a need and fill it", as so many businesses say.

[lezareno]

As you wish, Martel. [hrm, feels odd on the tongue.]

Yes, that is quite the popular term with businesses. I wonder if they do refer to some supply and demand while picking us muses. [You just had to bring up business.]

[loving_goddess]

[Quite on purpose.]

Well, I believe it's either that or they simply ended up resonating with us instead of one of the others. Either way, I kind of like being the only "me" I've seen around. It's much less confusing this way.

Regaaaaal!

[knightofcourage]

I don't see why you'd be unpopular.

8DDDD

[lezareno]

Perhaps it is my age?

[knightofcourage]

But Tenebrae's older than you are. Then again, I don't see him around a lot either...

[lezareno]

Ah, than maybe it does have something to do with age. [he was really just joking.] Older men just aren't as popular as you younger ones.

[knightofcourage]

That's too bad. I think it'd be nice to have you around.

[silverworld]

[Oh, well, this is awkward... Much as Gelda knows that this Regal isn't the Regal she'd known a few years ago, she can't stop herself from responding. So her mun will let her.]

Unpopular is in the eye of the beholder. I find that muns have rather odd standards for who to adore first and foremost.

[lezareno]

Is that so? Well, I'd like to say that my mun seems to have rather good taste.

[silverworld]

I'm sure you would. I'm afraid my own mun took a few years to warm up to you, but it seems that your second adventure involving Ratatosk made her see you in a whole new light.

[lezareno]

Oh? My own mun was surprised on how often I appeared in Emil and Marta's journey. It seems that she thought that I would hardly be mentioned. [yet he's not even a bit insulted.]

[silverworld]

Mmh, mine thought the same, but she was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps the ones in charge of the 'story' thought that you needed more of a chance to prove yourself.
