New muse wants attention

[unbindings]

"Mun." Is this what I am supposed to call you? It seems like a meaningless distinction. I would prefer to use your name.

Either way, I question the word you have chosen to designate me on this network. While I cannot argue that it is appropriate, I am sure there is a way you could have communicated the concept without resorting to made up words. "Unbinding" is a verb. I see no sense in making it plural.

Also, I am confused by your assertion that I "will not get out of your head." You seem perfectly content for me to be here.

[LMAO, everything here is in her interest.]

What if she doesn't want to give you her real name? Maybe if she does, you'll go after her family and murder them!

[SHE'S SERIOUS.]

[unbindings]

[EDI would be much less confused if it was a joke.]

I have no reason to harm her family. Nor, at present, any way to. Besides, that information is something I already have access to.

[morphic]

If you have access to it, then why doesn't see allow you to call her by her name? Though, my mun prefers to be called by her 'code name'... apparently it's an 'internet handle'.

[unbindings]

My mun is the same. She considers it a matter of privacy. I will respect her wishes for now.

[morphic]

Privacy is always the best option. But can't someone figure out who someone else is by another kind of identifier? I know technology is really advanced now, so it'd be rather easy!

[unbindings]

In her world, technology is less advanced than I am used to. But your point is a valid one.

[morphic]

Yes. But there's nothing we'd gain from accessing that kind of information. I don't think my mun's credit card number would do me any good, and I wouldn't want to hurt her, either!

[Why do you know that, Akane?]

[unbindings]

You are right that it would be useless to us. However, her concerns regard others in her world, not me.

[morphic]

Does it? But what could someone do with her name? [LE GASP...!] You don't think someone would try to gain control of her if they knew her name? I've read in stories that knowing someone's real name can give that person complete control of the person who's name they know!

OH SNAP EDI

[neuterskrogan]

"Mun" apparently common term. Personally find "player" more than adequate, sufficiently descriptive. Mun agrees, though doesn't particularly care.

[unbindings]

I agree. "Player" would be a more straightforward term. My own even admits that it took her some time to understand what "mun" meant.

[neuterskrogan]

Same, player aware of meaning now, though not until after some awkward conversations.

[unbindings]

Mine picked it up on her own, but only after seeing other posters on this community use the full word "mundane."

I suspect players find some amusement in creating these strange labels. I cannot imagine you were pleased with your designation on this network.

[neuterskrogan]

Found network designation crude, and inaccurate. A mockery.

Didn't stop mun, however. Bad listener, found it humorous.

[unbindings]

Spaying may have been somewhat more fitting. Either way, it is in poor taste.

[neuterskrogan]

"Spaying" would suggest surgical procedure. Still inaccurate, but indeed more fitting. Certainly in poor taste either way.

[unbindings]

I suppose I am lucky that the problems with mine are limited to nonsensical grammar.

[neuterskrogan]

Can't really complain. Aside from offensive network designation and "canon update" slated for near future, player has been mostly agreeable.

[unbindings]

My mun has informed me that events for you may not have played out the same way I remember. May I ask what this "canon update" entails?

[neuterskrogan]

Giant thresher maw, cured genophage on Tuchanka.

Big explosion. Unpleasant to dwell on, but good outcome.

[unbindings]

The same as I experienced then.

[neuterskrogan]

According to mun, alternative is unpleasant. Curious, but won't pry.

[unbindings]

I wouldn't know. Nor does my mun, but she seems curious enough to find out the next time she plays.

Once she finishes this round.

[neuterskrogan]

Yes, mun almost finished with first play through. May also take different path next time.

[shitshitshit]

At least you're not stuck with this. I mean, c'mon, you'd think people who spend their free time writing would be able to think up some better names.

[unbindings]

[Can you hear the little smile in her voice?]

On the contrary. I think your designation is just as appropriate as mine.

[shitshitshit]

Y'know, EDI, I'm really not sure how I'm supposed to take that one. It doesn't seem too, uh... compliment-like. [But he may or may not be smiling, too.]

[unbindings]

It was merely an observation. [You know you are.]

[shitshitshit]

Right, right, sure.

[reigninginstars]

[Oh, EDI. What are you doing this time.]

Nice to see you here as well, EDI.

[unbindings]

...Shepard. It took me a moment to identify you. I am used to your... male counterpart.

[reigninginstars]

Oh...

[Another one, eh?]

Not the first time someone has said that. I'm surprised you recognized me right away.

[unbindings]

I have full access to my mun's knowledge. It was easy enough.

[reigninginstars]

Fair enough.

How have things been for you, EDI?
