trying to find a game ;;

Really, you think it's charming to separate me from my husband and children, and beyond that, the world we've been establishing for two and a half years, for you to see what I would do with out them. For, as you say, "funsies".

I'm not interested in fighting monsters or destroying planets or ANYTHING other than staying with Theodore, and doing the dirty work that needs to be done. I have a life, and a family, and a universe that we've spent time building.

You're not making me go anywhere. You know better than that.

...Don't you?

We are not approached with reason. We are approached with every cruelty of the mind.

I would appreciate it greatly if I-- we-- were given an option.

What good am I without what I need?

[moderatoassai]

You may expand in character. Show new sides of yourself.

[scratchthat]

New sides. I'm not interested in displaying desperation in dire circumstances, as I figure that's the only side I may get to show...

I'm not saying I'm flat-- ha. That's a joke on several levels. But that side is just one thing I'd like to keep hidden.

I fear they don't, unfortunately. I think we'd all much rather be doing something else, and I have to say it's frankly disgraceful to separate a mother from her children. They should be ashamed.

I've had enough of adventure for adventure's sake. If I were twenty years younger, this would be a dream, but I am not, so this isn't.

I'm not an ungrateful woman-- not everyone has the chance to get up and leave to start some new, grand life. Opportunities like this are indeed rare. But I want to stay with my kids. And my husband! I wish there was some way I could bring them with me.

Honestly, I've always felt that adventure should have a very good reason beside adventure itself. Otherwise it's just something of a... misadventure.

[scratchthat]

Misadventures were always fun too. Just... not right now. I think that the reason I'll end up somewhere is that this would really be a fresh start with me.

My mun had me-- or I should say, a younger version of me-- on tumblr for about two and a half years. And while it's been a fun, if not dysfunctional, ride, she wants off. Maybe not entirely, but mostly. The adventure has reason. I just wish it was something different.

[alwaysbetogether]

Mmm. I'll say that's not exactly the most convenient of reasonings from your perspective, to put it mildly. I'll confess for me adventure has always been... a little like doing the washing up. Someone has to do it eventually or there's too big a mess.

It'd really all be so much better if we had somewhere nice to relax.

[scratchthat]

Oh, it's not convenient. But there are worse reasons to go anywhere. You could go somewhere just to ruin someone's day, and that's not my style. The washing up comparison is a good one, though. Sounds about right.

I could go for a beach and a margarita lifestyle. Sounds much better than the mafia way I'm living in. All this hard work for a handsome bartender and sunbathing in a bikini. I could do that.
