dear_mun | Moving is HARD though D8

[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]

Yes. You're a weak minded traitor.

You're better off with the rest of the scrap who call themselves Autobots.

I have come to truly enjoy my position among the Autobots. They are all dear friends of mine, so I do not see where the insult is in being affiliated with them, Starscream.

I would rather be a traitor to the Decepticons than a traitor to my own morals.

Tch. Morals.

That's only a sign of how weak you are.

You wouldn't last a day in the Decepticons.

[Yes, he failed to see the irony in that statement.]

As I recall... I did not.

[SOMEONE REMEMBERS HOW THAT WENT]

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.]

If that is what suits them now, I suppose that is their choice. They will deal with the consequences as they occur while others reap the benefits.

[... Yep ;; It's not like things aren't getting difficult in the game he's at either. Mun just wants MORE difficulty.]

She's already arranged for unfortunate circumstances were I am. I don't see the need to compound it with putting me in two objectionable areas at once.

Quite. It's been interesting, if understandably frustrating for our mundanes and the other users, to watch, frankly.

[Huff. Some ~~people~~ mundanes, honestly.]

Indeed not. While pushing oneself is in some matters both useful and necessary there's really no need for them to to the lengths that they do.

[Narrow frown and Jetfire's crosses his arms.]

Mostly frustrating at this point, I would have to say.

...

And yet she feels compelled anyway. She finds my distress amusing, and fully intends to make full use of some... personal weaknesses that she's zeroed in on.

[You understand, he's sure.]

Mm. Despite the fact that most mundanes seem quite agreeable and like decent human beings, they seem almost driven in some instances to distress us as much as possible.

[And then he pauses, but it doesn't take long to figure out what "personal weaknesses" might mean, and his wings twitches slightly, followed by a grimace.]

I see. That's... displeasing. [The tone of voice there implies a lot more than just "displeasing", but it's a sensitive topic and he doesn't feel particularly at ease with it.]

I don't understand how distress concerning such a... trauma... is amusing at all.
