New muse is new

[fabulousness]

Dearest Mundane. While I do thank you for not choosing a journal name in which the word simply does not exist, I'm afraid I cannot understand why you have chosen this name for me. When you say the word 'fabulous', I hear that mockery in your voice. Is there some hidden meaning to this, Miss Mundane? I can't comprehend why being 'fabulous' is a bad thing, and perhaps I would argue being told I am such. However, there is some hidden meaning behind all of this, I can tell.

And also, there is the issue in which you are saying that I am 'too loud'. I never raise my voice in your presence, my lady, yet you tell me to hush up.

Certainly, Miss Mundane, you are most confusing.

Mundanes are strange in general. There's nothing wrong with presenting yourself in the best way possible.

A paradox is about to happen, isn't it?

[fabulousness]

I agree that us 'muses', as we are called, should be able to present ourselves in a dignified manner.

[Richard, you chose the wrong mundane for that 8D]

I believe introductions are in order. I am Richard.

As long as we don't touch, perhaps it'll be fine?

[zeroslate]

Lelouch.

[ poor Richard. His pretty hair will be ruffled soon enough! ]

Perhaps. B|

[fabulousness]

A pleasure, Lelouch.

[Flashy little bow goes here. See Richard? This is why you are ~fabulous~]

Miss Mundane, I still do not understand you.

....and now, I sense a fabulous battle.

[zeroslate]

[ O-oh. That bow is... interesting. Lelouch can do better B( ]

If you don't mind me asking, are you some kind of prince?

[hisownjustice]

Muns are like that. Don't worry about it too much.

[fabulousness]

I would not worry about it if it weren't for the fact that I know she is mocking me. How would you interpret one being fabulous?

[hisownjustice]

I dunno. My mun is snickering too, though.

[fabulousness]

Yours snickers and mine gives me a huge grin. Perhaps it would be best that I don't even attempt to comprehend this.

Forgive my rudeness, I am Richard.

[Here, have a bow, Yuri.]

[crablettes]

Richard is... "fabulous"?

[fabulousness]

[Oh, it's the ever so impressionable Sophie.] No, I'm really not. It's okay, Sophie. It's all apparently some kind of joke that you don't need to try to understand.

[Because he doesn't even understand it himself...]

[crablettes]

[that's an understatement.]

... All right. If you say so, then I won't ask anymore.

[fabulousness]

It's not that you don't have to ask, it's just... [He brings his hand up to his forehead, gives his head a shake and sighs.] It's just my mundane doesn't always make sense.

[I make perfect sense, Richard! You just don't get it!]

[healedbythelight]

Oh, Rich- ... I mean, Your Majesty. [She nods her head politely. This is not the Richard that she's been in a game with for almost a year now, so she needs to watch her manners.]

When a mundane claims that you're being 'loud', they mean that you have a very great... presence in their 'headspace', so to speak. I suppose you might think of it as a compliment.

[fabulousness]

[He's a little confused at first, but gives her a polite nod.] Cheria, it's good to see you.

[And then takes in her little explanation. He has a great presence in her headspace?] I suppose that would make sense. She has been complaining that my 'volume' has disabled her from summoning any of her other muses. If that is the case, then that would make sense. Thank you, Cheria.

[healedbythelight]

You're quite welcome. [She nods her head again, then looks up at him with a smile.]

Have you been well, Your Majesty? My mun has already informed me that I would likely be seeing more familiar faces around here before long, though I wasn't expecting it to be so soon.

[fabulousness]

[His own small smile grows wider.] I have been well aside from the way my mundane has decided to treat me. It's not terrible, I shall admit, but... [He then gives a resigned smile and a few chuckles.] ...I suppose I have been doing very well.

My mundane says that you likely will. She has just 'picked me up' recently, and is very excited to finish my 'game'. She seems upset that I have been so 'loud' that she 'posted' here with me before she finished this 'game'.

[None of this makes sense, but he's just decided to repeat what he knows.]

[ledbythewind]

I would argue that there are far worse adjectives that could be applied to us than that.

[This one has spent two years in a game and learned all about things like modern Earth slang. He's also not about to deny that the term is in fact quite applicable.]

[fabulousness]

I would agree that there are much worse things to be called. My mun simply confuses me, that is all.

[This one is fresh meat, and still hasn't learned any slang. Perhaps the first term he will learn is this use of 'fabulous' and why it makes his mundane snicker.]

[ledbythewind]

Yes, they usually are quite good at inflicting terrible things on us without our permission. I suppose it's only a fair exchange for getting to live in their headspace.

[fabulousness]

I have heard stories of these terrible things, and can only hope my mundane would treat me kindly. Though, given this name and the way she mocks me, perhaps it would be not wise to hope for such.

[Le sigh.]

[nondramatic]

[............ uh.] It... really depends on how it's being used. Mockery is almost guaranteed to make something sound bad to begin with.

[he would know. he had to live with the king of dramatics and tones for a while and that was... an experience.]

As for being 'too loud' - sometimes, that's a good thing. [let her get it out of her system until it's at a more manageable level is basically what he's saying. :|a he's never been good with words.]

[fabulousness]

Does it? I would not know how being 'fabulous' is bad, still, I am certain that there is something she is implying by using that word in such a way. [He will find out its meaning one day! One day!]

Is it a good thing? I don't quite understand it at all, but if being here in this place is helping with my volume- [No, he still doesn't quite get it.] -then I hope it is helping both my mundane and myself.

[nondramatic]

[well, uh.] I suppose that it might just be a good thing, then. [uuuuh. he'll leave it at that, he guesses.

[h... i... my name is zerozaku and i skirt around the issue.]

Perhaps. Is it helping you?

[yeah. definitely leaving it at that.]

[fabulousness]

[And Richard doesn't have too much more to say on that topic either. No one is seeming to dwell on it, so let's move on!]

I believe it is. I no longer have this feeling of being suffocated, though I was not in danger of dying if I was not to at least get out once...

[It's making a little more sense. He did feel as if he had to get out into this realm, and it's helping both him and his lady mundane >B|]
