dear_mun | Moving is HARD though D8

[... oh this is new. He should have been expecting it, really. It doesn't stop it from being fascinating though]

It has taken her a great deal of time to accept it. However, the issue seems more to stem from a distinct disinterest in relearning the system she has currently. She seems to believe it will be too difficult to adapt.

[And his mun has dragged her feet all the way over here. Really, she's raising quite a fuss.]

I do not reject the idea of having me explore more worlds, however, her interest in having me in all of them at the same time is somewhat more objectionable.

Indeed, I'd much rather be left with some spare time. I have enough to do as it is where I am currently.

[This is, most assuredly, new for Jetfire too, but he's been hanging around in here and have heard enough for the others in the headspace that he hadn't just been prepared for it, but looking forward to it.]

Ah, yes. There are differences... But frankly, I don't see the issue. That's what makes it interesting, being able to learn the differences, compare and then either accept or reject it.

[His own mun has been on this site before, perhaps that's why she's been a lot less recalcitrant about the change...]

... All of them? Considering the average amount of time needed to dedicate oneself to one place, let alone more, and that the needed time would, approximately, double with each place... YOur mundane, like any human, need to sleep, I assume.

Perhaps you should point out to her that an Earth cycle is limited in time, and she needs the hours she is awake to do other things as well.

[His mun only gave him the barest of warnings, but he's been able to build on that. Thankfully it's crowded in here and everyone is real keen on sharing time]

I agree. I have been somewhat excited about this change. I have heard many fairly decent reviews of this place, and how the differences are mostly positive, but she is... stubborn. I suppose would be the correct word to use.

[It's the polite word to use. Mun dear is still hand flapping over playing him, let alone playing him on a different site]

Her idea of sleep is a strange one. Her chosen profession has led her to taking shifts while the rest of humanity would normally sleep. While not nocturnal, she seems to have made plenty of progress attempting to become as such.

I have attempted to explain that a regular sleep cycle is necessary for proper function, but she seems to believe that enough stimulation will make up for her lack of rest.

[Headmates who were there before you are always exceedingly useful... at least if they're willing to share information.]

It's decent enough, and the differences seem more in flavour - with, perhaps, one or two substantial differences - that getting used to it ought to be of no greater concern. My own mundane was here before, and she moves quite easily between the two.

[Politeness is usually useful, insofar as it is also the correct word used; one cannot compromise the integrity of an observation or point for being polite.]

That seems to be a common affliction among these mundanes, no matter if they work during times when most of their species is sleeping or not.

[Case in point. Jetfire eyes his own mundane.]

[Most of them love to share. It's only one or two that like to share horrible, terrible misinformation]

I am sure that mine will become as proficient as yours in both areas. As long as she continues to step outside of the boundaries she has set for herself. It seems fairly simple. I am sure it will not take too much effort to adjust at all.

[Oh it's very correct. It's just all the other words are correct with some oomph in it.]

I would imagine that it has a great deal to do with the time zones. Many of my mundanes partners are spread across a very vast space. It stands to reason that many of them would still be in the early hours of the day while her own is nearing the end of it.

Most mundanes seem to disregard the benefits of conversing with full use of their mental faculties.

[Something he has found coffee does not replace in a human, no matter how many cups they drink]

[Yes, that. Or you share the space with a terrible abomination that's a Herald of Unicron and a Megatron, too. Not just misinformation, but dangerous, as well.]

Time usually solves such issues, yes, and considering this [a wave around them, to indicate both them and... ahem, the coversation(s) further down] she seems to be doing well.

That seems to be the most pressing point; them attempting to spend as much time as possible conversing, or playing with others and battling the differences in time and distance... It's hard to fault them for that, however.

Mmh, yes. I'm not sure about you, but I have some practice with attempting to reason... and converse, with someone who likes to... forgo... full common sense and reason for percieved quick or desired results.

[What. He's absolutely not talking about someone in here. Nope.]

[His headspace-mates are GLaDOS and Xellos. He has become acquainted with misinformation mixed with copious amounts of danger]

She seems to just be thrilled enough that she had anyone speaking with her at all. She truly worries far more than necessary... Another barrier she will overcome in the move. ... She seems pleased with your observation, however.

[Pleased or ecstatic.]

I do not fault her for wishing to spend as much time as she can with those who give her joy. What I merely dispute is the ignorance towards the long term effects that sleep deprivation has upon the human body.

I have attempted it. However, pressing too far in the matter tends to end in a rather unfortunate expulsion of human expletives and more stimulants.

[As in 'fuck you robot man coffee is my blood']

[Oh, that's some unfortunate headmates right there. Jetfire will extend his condoleances.]

She needn't worry. True, my mundane needed someone else to point her this way presently, but if not now, she'd have seen it later... And she was much too amused at the opportunity this presented.

[Dry tone of voice, arch look.]

Indeed not. Though one wonders if it's worse when they do know the problems that come with too little sleep, and yet chronically stay up much too late, all the while bemoaning their decision, both during the night and when they wake up.

[He'll just... shake his helm at that last thing. Unfortunate and rude, indeed.]

Reason seem to be a supply that there's always a too little amount of to go around.

[At least he doesn't have to breathe, so the neurotoxin threats are moot. Too bad she's creative.]

I suppose that would be true of anyone. Though mine not so much. She would not have gone this way had it not been for the mass upheaval in her current game of choice. ... I am pleased yours took the time to take the opportunity. I can honestly say I haven't experienced anything quite like this before.

Both situations are equally frustrating in their own way, I have found. She seems to almost take a certain bit of delight in speaking of how tired she is. And takes the amount of time she's spent awake as some warped badge of pride.

[You have no idea. He's not going to go into the rampant fanfiction searches.]

Or common sense is not nearly so common as it should be. I hope to find that this is merely a stage in human development, rather than a plateau.

[Well, Just as they cannot really control their mundanes, at least they cann't actually harm them either and what happens in a 'game' stays there.]

It's been quite facinating to observe, this switch and considering what seems to have been going on, it might be for the best, really. Not that I begrudge anyone to react with upset and confusion.

[A helmtilt, well that was certainly a new way of dealing with staying up excessively late.]

Not one I've encountered myself, and it sounds quite a bit more... inconvenient to deal with for you, if less self-recriminating upon the part of your mun.

[Oh, yes, rampant fanfiction or fanart searching... or reading.]

That'd be preferable, but with the number of corroborating observations of other mundanes... it does not seem so.

[Sigh.]

It is a reasonable reaction. Alongside the natural wish to resist change, my mun cannot help but imagine it is a change that never had to be necessary to begin with. Had the situation not become so intolerable elsewhere. Still, she seems to be settling in now. Even somewhat pleased with what she has seen so far. It's reassuring.

[It's both kind of amusing and somewhat unsettling.]

Her greatest accomplishment in her mind to date was the twenty four hours she remained up for an annual reunion. I am understandably concerned that this may happen again. She was only four hours shy of a similar occurrence a week ago.

[Reading and looking for fanart. It's times like those he's happy he's not as popular as the rest ~~and his mun grumps around and threatens to make her own damn dirty fics~~]

Perhaps if we record the ages, we may find a pattern. It could be something that occurs only in younger mundanes

[He will exhaust all over possible answers damnit]

((ooc: Anything not fanart however is of Dreamwave Jetfire and there are differences in design between him and G1 Skyfire. But go ahead! :) ))

While resisting change is a natural response to it as all things have a certain built-in inertia, one would think that at some point as the situation becomes untenable...

[Condoleances. At least his own tends to merely wail over it, not feel proud.]

... Well, that's surely some sort of accomplishment. [Jetfire's tone of voice implies it's not necessarily a good one, however.]

Mmm... perhaps, but then there would need to be a consensus of what would count as a "younger", or "young" mundane, and at what point the cut-off should be, considering my own, for example, is well beyond the arbitrary age the majority of humans use as a marker for adult responsibilities...

[ooc: I knooow ;; But really it's a toss up between Dreamwave or fanart, because the G1 Skyfire screenshots make me want to stab myself in the eyeballs D8 btw do you have an AIM? :3]

You would be... impressed with how long she is willing to tolerate the near intolerable. The idea of 'impossible' seems to be more of a challenge to her, even when it is fairly clear what the more appropriate choice should be.

[Do you see this face. He agrees so much. You have no idea.] Noteworthy, to be certain.

That is true. I had forgotten the amount of variables involved... Mine is a bit past what would be considered typical age of maturity for an adult human as well... Though she is within the upper, though still average age range of her fellow players.

I will need more time to observe for now, it would seem.

Primus, the amount of science right here is going to cause the entire universe just to implode or rupture the fabric of reality itself.

The two of you will be the destruction of all.

I do not recall you being a part of this particular conversation, Starscream. If it troubles you so much, you are more than welcome to entertain yourself elsewhere.

Or to join in.

[Have a pointed look, Starscream.]

But it's usually polite to not interuppt a conversation with an insult.

((ooc: We're just lucky Jetfire didn't appear before vol three of DW, 'cause otherwise the art would have just about as terrible! Sure I do~ I'll shoot off a message.))

While a certain willingness and ability to stand against odds and an untenable situation is certainly impressive, I think at some point reason should prevail and, if not defeat, a reconsideration of one's options should be considered and accepted.

[At least they are on the same page, here not so strange considering.]

Yes, I believe so. Sure, the situation would tempt me to draw a premature conclusion, but in the interest of a proper analysis, the pool of available players I have observed through my mundane's interaction is too small as of yet.

She seems to be under the impression that if she waits long enough, the problem will fix itself. If it does not, she is... usually willing to admit that a change is necessary. Such as now. So I do like to keep that in mind.

[True nuff! Great minds think alike?]

The collection of players I have seen now is similarly small. ... I can only assume that this will be used as an excuse to place me in more games.

[That's what you get for speculatin' ha ha ha]

Considering what has been seen from that other site, the problem "fixing itself" seem unlikely, at least to a satisfactorily degree. Then there is how some of the users were treated, too.

[Considering they're different universe alternates, one would assume so, yes!]

And even putting our two disparate pools together won't be enough to give a proper set to draw conclusions from, unfortunately... But I hope she does not, both for your sake and hers.

[Jetfire thinks that mun of yours need a gentle tap on her head and a reminder to behave.]

As I am aware, but she seemed fairly convinced that a large enough outcry would change it. Her hopes were misplaced, it seems...

I will hope for the best from her, but she seems fairly set on getting me into another game. Though she is still far too anxious to act upon such whims currently.

[Which is sadly true and he's not sure what to think about this mixed blessing.]

One would think so; it would be the decent and correct thing to do, but corporations seem caught up in their own notions of business, sometimes, to the detriment of users or consumers.

[Not such an alien concept, really.]

One other game may not hurt anything, as long as she doesn't over-reach herself, I hope it'll be somewhere... agreeable, at least. Some are less than savory or reasonable.

[Deep, disapproving frown.]

It simply seems... non-conducive to business if you drive away most of your customers. Such was the notion she was hoping would be realized. However, both of us can clearly see now that the corporation in question is not terribly interested in maintaining business, if their actions have proved anything at all.

...

[yeah about that agreeable thing. There's a very... um... uncomfortable look appearing. Uncomfortable would be a 'nice' term for it.]

She's been speaking with others. She has a few criteria in mind for an appropriate game now, it would seem.

[why is this his life]

I hope that criteria includes ~~My Little Ponies~~ the most horrible place in existence.

Though termination would be a more fitting end for traitor.

[IT HAS ICE AND SNOW IT DOESN'T GET MUCH WORSE, JERK.]

I could not abide the ideology. You know well the reasons I left. I would sooner be dead, Starscream.

[Not for LACK OF TRYING, RIGHT STARSCREAM >:T]

I would be inclined to agree, yes, but that seems to be the only conclusion to be taken. Or at least, do not wish to retain their current userbase as customers in any greater capacity.

... Ah. I see. [Jetfire'll just... sigh and rub the lower half of his faceplates with his hand.]

Most mundanes seem to have an innate desire to make things as uncomfortable for us as they can.

[sympathetic disapproval, fellow alternate.]

Moving is HARD though D8
