RIDICULOUSLY old muse

[bzweeep]

Hello there, mun!

It's nice to see you've been having fun in my absence. [Hands on hips. Someone doesn't look impressed.]

I see you have taken the fabricated personality you gave to me, all those years ago -- and given it to someone else, hm? [He waves his hands as if they're the two sides of a scale, one going up as the other goes down.] And now you want to pick me up again? Are you sure that's a good idea?

...For that matter, are you sure you want to use this-- [air quotes] 'new Thorton' at all?

As I understand, these hand signals are making it difficult.

[Smiiiirk.]

'New Thornton'?

[bzweeep]

The mun played me several years ago. [Thorton moves his hands as if to indicate going backwards on a timeline.] Before her 'reference material' was readily available. So she wound up fabricating a very different personality for me out of whole cloth. [Poof.]

[acuity]

That makes sense. I think my player is trying to do something similar, a 'canon update'.

... But instead of a very different personality, it'll be icons.

[bzweeep]

Ah, yes, the icons.

I will never understand their fascination. [Le shrug.]

[bzweeep]

[OOC: Sob. No, Dreamwidth, please stop giving me the wrong icons.]

[acuity]

[ ♥ scool man ]

It must be an enjoyable commoner past-time...

[bzweeep]

Until they start talking to you about it. [He mimics a shadow-puppet talking and talking.] 'Do you want all fifteen now or should I wait until we find more we need? Should I color them? Should I get someone else to color them?'

[acuity]

But it sounds like she's enthusiastic about it. I think mine just fainted at the mention of coloring. Do revives work on muns?

[bzweeep]

Ah, she'll shut up about it sooner or later. [Le shrug. But the revive question gave him pause, so he puts a hand to his chin.] ...That is a good question.

[acuity]

Then, I'll spare one and try it. I'd like those new icons.

[ she's a lady, she has to keep up with the fashions!! ]

[bzweeep]

[SO FASHIONABLE!!! ...Thorton here, he couldn't care less about what looks good on him. (And absolutely no one was surprised.)]

Hmhm. Whatever.

[acuity]

[ yeah, but don't worry we still love you 8D ]

If your player is concerned about icons, would this mean she's looking for a game?

[bzweeep]

Yeees, she's been eyeing Mayfield. For a while now, actually. But she's only acting now because they're a 'community' or something, whatever that means. [So many hand signals, Platina. So many.]

[acuity]

A community... like a gated community?

[ immediately thinking of her giant-ass villa!... also backing up slightly to not get whacked |D ]

sob thorton, your movements are so awkward

[bzweeep]

I don't know. [Super shrug.] It doesn't say anything good about the social scene there, though, does it? If they're a community now-- [hands to his left!] --then what were they before? [hands to his right!]

think of it as interpretative dance?!

[acuity]

[ that's--that's kinda philosophical of you :|a ]

Too sparsely populated...?

...pfft <3

[bzweeep]

[Well of course it is, he is a GENIUS after all.]

Hmm, perhaps.

Though considering we also have to use terms like [airquotes!] 'mun' to descibe the people who play us, it may well be some kind of bizarre alien language.

♥

[acuity]

If that's so, I should do my best to learn it. As a researcher, all arcane languages are, as the mun puts it, 'relevant to my interests'.

[bzweeep]

Mmyes. I should know this language already, but I don't. THIS MUST BE FIXED If this is so, then perhaps the only way we can learn the language is by -- as the mun says -- 'apping' somewhere.

[acuity]

Then I'll do so, and take a look at this 'Mayfield'. I hope it has decent hotels.

[ ... and by decent she means costing no less than a grand a day or so... ]

Oh, Platina. Poor, delusional Platina.

[bzweeep]

Hotels? [He raises his eyebrows slightly is that even possible and looks at her. Guess who spends literally all his time in a flat above the Battle Factory? This kid.] ...Hmm, well, I suppose that wouldn't be bad.

it's hard out here for a lady!!

[acuity]

But of course. Where else would you stay?

[ now that she thinks of it, she's unsure if frontier brains fit in the 'commoner' category or not >:|a ]

[bzweeep]

Well, presumably you'd stay in a--

...

...Oh, wait.

You're one of those traveling Trainers, aren't you?

Ah, yes, of course.

1/3

[acuity]

I'm a lady and a researcher, more than a trainer. And the reason I traveled so much was because there were so many detours to my destination.

[acuity]

But, that said...

[acuity]

... it was enjoyable. So I suppose I am.

[bzweeep]

Mm, yes. [The 'lady' part makes more sense than her lovely heartwarming confession. If she's talking like that, she probably did stay at hotels all through her journey.] Well. I don't know very much about this 'Mayfield' place at all, but one would think they'd at least give you a house to live in. [He touches his fingertips together, apparently supposed to represent a house.]

[acuity]

A house?... I'll accept a mansion, if necessary.

[ she tries to copy him, but sets her hands together at a much wider angle to imitate a huge mansion/villa ]

[bzweeep]

[Silly girl, you cannot simply copy Thorton. You have to train for years to project the levels of suggested possible insanity that he does.]

[Despite this, he seems to find your sacrifices funny.]

I don't think they have enough funding for that.

[acuity]

[ if that's what it takes!! she'll train, to be the very best, etc... ]

If money's a problem, I'm sure my family could invest in it and build a proper resort. You may have a complimentary room, if so.

[bzweeep]

That's considerate of you.

[Gah stop you're not supposed to like this girl. She beat you. Bluh.]

[acuity]

It's thanks for helping me at the Battle Frontier. I appreciate it.

[ bowing, like a lady. okay she felt a little bad for that victory too... ]

[bzweeep]

[Oh. She's bowing? That's new.]

...

[There's an awkward pause, after which he kind of--er--bows back to her...? Socially inept Frontier Brain is socially inept.]

[acuity]

[ ... was she too freaked out after the battle to do that... oh well, it's okay, we can both be awkward penguins 8) ]

[bzweeep]

...Y-you're welcome.

[SUPER DELAYED REACTION, GOOOO.]

[acuity]

[ ... okay she's giggling a little. you're a cool dude :|b ]

Of course. Good luck with apping, then!

[bzweeep]

Good luck with looking.

[THORTON regained composure!

Composure is now at 25%.]
