dear_mun | Thoughts of an old muse

Dear Mun-san,

It's me, Seiya. Do you even remember my name? Can you recall the last time you've listened to our songs? Watched us preform? Cheered us in battle?

I've been in this space for over a decade. That has to count for something. There's only one other muse that's been here longer. I don't remember the last time I saw him. None of us do. It's crowded in here with all of the other muses you've acquired over the years. I've been living in the dark corners of this place, pushed further and further back into the depths of this labyrinth. Do you know that? There have been many times where you would disappear, but you always came back no matter how much time had passed. There was also a time where I was your number one muse. Am I not good enough anymore?

You have those stories about me you've been working on for years. Thanks for the spotlight I guess, but you can't be serious leaving me hung up in that situation with her. There's also that game you put me in, but it doesn't look like it's going anywhere. Thanks for leaving me high and dry, again.

If you even bother to listen to this, just remember who's been there for you. Maybe someday you'll finish what you started and take me out of this dark place.

Not your biggest fan,
Seiya

Still feeling sorry for yourself, I see. Can't you do anything without an audience?

[ Smirrrrrk. ]

[ While the mun is quite amused with this appearance, Seiya on the other hand is far from amused. But that wouldn't be enough to hold back a witty remark in return. ]

Now, what fun would that be without an audience? Besides, I can't help it if I'm so popular, especially with such an avid fan such as yourself. [ and on that note Seiya would return the smirk. ]

There's worse dark places to be. At least in there you have your freedom still. That's how it was for me at least.

[ Haruka's post-canon, so she no longer thinks Seiya's total scum, at least? Just, gosh. What an obnoxious personality.

She raises an eyebrow. ]

And? What are you going to do?

[ About your situation, in general, etc. ~~Her lips are super ultra sealed about the fact that there's an Usagi in her game.~~ ]

It doesn't seem like there's much I can do in this situation. [ Seiya was actually a bit contemplative, a rare sight, but it did happen from time to time. ]

Having this power and being able to stand toe to toe with some of the strongest enemies... We may have our differences, but I know we can agree on at least this much. Yet here, no power seems to be able to break through this, not even Her's. [ A reference to Sailor Moon. Seiya would pause a moment if only to realize she was going deeper into this than she probably should. ] Why I'm telling you this? Maybe it's because you were the first to ask. [ and truth be told the answer eluded her, but she would conveniently leave that part out. ]

Eh? I wouldn't exactly call this freedom. I'd prefer to be out of here doing things like it used to be, even if the mun did have some strange ideas.

[ Well, Haruka can certainly understand detesting helplessness. She doesn't have any intention, however, of feeling sorry for herself. Or anybody else. ]

I didn't come over here to hear you whine. [ There she goes calling you a dog again. ] If you're speaking now, you've got a voice. Annoy your mun into submission if you have to.

[ Snort. It might be hiding a laugh. ] You'd be good at that.

[ If Seiya wasn't so angsty right now, Haruka's remark would almost be funny. Almost. ] You might have a point... [ d'oh! Admitting such a person is right... Direct hit to her pride. But what else did she have to loose at this point? Though Haruka's words were harsh she had the feeling the intention underneath was well.]

[ A shrug. ] Looks like I'll just have to try harder next time. Besides, [ pause. ] who could resist this Seiya-san in the long run? [ Cue inflated ego. ]

Strange ideas? That doesn't sound like it ends well.

[ Uh-huh. That only gets you half a smile. ] Good luck.

If it makes you feel any better, there's a young blonde girl I share a headspace with who sends her love. She ain't got one of these account things or she'd say hello herself.

Thanks... [ It did make Seiya feel a little bit better, but there was only one blond girl that could truly cheer her up and hearing from such a person... Unless... Could it be...? ]

Do I know this person?

She said you were old friends. Name's Usagi? Something like that, anyways.

Odango... [ This did put smile on Seiya's face hearing her name again. ] Yes, we are. Thank you for the message. I hope she's well.

Seiya Seiya! Chibi Chibi Seiya's biggest fan!

She is, yeah.

So, uh, you said you're a performer? Singer or musician?

I'd like to consider myself both, though I mostly sing. [if only for that person.] I'm in the idol group The Three Lights. You've probably heard of us. [cue ego.]

Oh? [Seiya was thrown from the voice which she knew from somewhere... When realization set in a smile would replace the initial puzzled expression.] Thank you, Chibi-chan.

[Welllll this just got awkward. Sorry Seiya, you're in a 90's 'boy' band, not a 60's one.]

Uh, sorry, can't say I have. But a trio, that's nice. Used to be in one of those, but now we're a quartet.

Yeah? Sounds interesting. What kind of music do you guys play?

Sherry? Big Girls Don't Cry? Walk Like a Man? Those're our recent hits. You've probably heard 'me on the radio.

[ Oh yes, Seiya has heard these songs on the radio but he thought they were from a much older group. Certainly, this can't be the same person... can it? ]

I do know those songs, which are great by the way, but the group I know of that sings them are way before my time... [ Thinking, Seiya was thinking. Yes, a rare moment, but it did happen from time to time. ] What was the name of the group you said you were in again?

[She gestures for "upsies" from Seiya, wanting to be held.]

[ Seiya would let out a small chuckle at her gesture. ] Oi, okay. You win. [ Keeping that smile she'd pick the child up. ] How has Chibi-chan been? Staying out of trouble I hope.

[She grabbed Seiya and hugged onto him tight before cuddling into his neck. It wasn't the first time that she had been held by him.]

Chibi Chibi good girl. Keeping loved ones safe!

[ cuteness... overload... who could resist having such an adorable fan? ]

Glad to hear it. Ne, I have something for you. [Seiya would reach into her pocket with her free hand to pull out a three lights sticker she happened to have on her. She'd bring it up to give to the girl with a smile.] ...For being a good girl.

[She blinked and leaned in close as she watched Seiya reach for something, squirming in her arms as she did so. When she was handed a sticker, she waved her arms and wiggled more in excitement.]

Sticker sticker! Chibi Chibi get sticker! [She reaches up and gives Seiya a kiss on the cheek.]
