Hilarious.

Absolutely hilarious. Do you know that? It's hilarious.

Have fun attempting to play me, okay? I'm sure all that crazy will settle in well.

Dear, this is not a matter where you tread lightly. You have to stop this nonsense. I understand that this a very exciting time. It always is, during the Games. However, that is no excuse to drag me away from my job. In fact, it is the very reason that I need to be more focused than ever, and I can't do that with your little... writing exercises.

And stop laughing at what happened on the train! It's very rude. It was mahogany.

Dearest Mundane,

I am pleased you've been so lenient to me so far, even going far as to shielding away from those awful deaths on screen. I suppose I should be grateful that you've been respecting my sanity... for now. The other girls whisper to me that you aren't always this way. I do have one question, mundane.


Is this truly freedom? Ever since I can remember, I've been restrained, dehumanized, ridiculed, and held in a small place. But here... I am able to do what I please. To an extent. I feel conflicted about this "freedom"; Altaïr's word seem contrary to that. And Roxas was stabbed by some sort of shape shifter- we should be humbled those weren't ruin. I was told to breathe easy and to do something for myself for a change. Something out of the routine.

What exactly would that be, mundane? For you, it's drawing or writing with me. I don't have something to write about yet the drawing, it won't be the same as Rutledge or Houndsditch, will it?

These are simple things, and it frustrates me I don't have the easy answers to them.

Alright Mun, We really need to have a talk.

I understand your situation at the moment. Really I do. Just one problem. I'm not exactly the type to sit around and watch ya know, ze?

I know ya wanna get my voice down by playing through the games or watchin' them with the scripts. But the only thing you are doing is makin' it worse on yourself. Wait until ya get the new computer and then try again.

You have enough to worry about with Healer girl and Baka at that one game. Take it a day at a time. I know ya still wanna send me somewhere but if ya think you'd just idle out? Don't do it. We'd have to have a discussion with something other then words if ya catch my drift.

Just relax and do whatcha can with what you have. You'll do fine. Besides, You got that vacation coming up and that computer gettin' set up.

I'll find somethin' to keep my attention for now....

Oh, um, and thanks for the new account! Dreamwidth looks a lot less confusing than the old place, anyway. And the new username, it's a lot cooler than the old one, and it even has correct spelling and everything! Sooo, uh... good job, Mun!

Okay, now go get some rest so we can get all caught up! You know what you should do? Take a niiice, hot bath. ...Whaddaya mean you can't do that, either?! That's... that's just sad...

Do not mistake my words of protest for that of ungratefulness. Grateful I am for the return to a body after so long without real form. My concerns lie in it's youth. Were it not for my eye, many would mistake me for a man I have not been for a very long time... and I would not seek to disappoint any in such a manner.

The sublime beast would have served such a purpose equally well, if not more.

Lady Mundane.

Of all the sources in all the world, you pick one where I am not only shown in a not very favorable light, but where I am, in fact, not shown very much at all!

And then you propose to put me in one of these so called 'games' where I will be separated from my love and torn from the side of my lord husband if they should deign to let me in. And if not, I, Queen of the most splendid court to ever be, must face the indignity of being declined!

I should like to have you burned at the stake.

While I am pleased to see you're reviewing my source material, I am far from optimistic you'll put it to good use.

Still the same community-if you could call it that-even after changing websites. If pride were a physical manifestation, mine would be in a dried up mess in the lowest pit ever formed.

You seem to have forgotten that those I...how shall I say?...interact with? are my primary food source. I should also add that since moving here we have yet to encounter any others from my canon. However, considering where you have me, that is ironically a blessing.

This...relation we have, Mundane, is not going very well. The least you can accomplish is a full application.

Look, I'm flattered. Honest. But you should probably finish reading the book first. I really just don't know if the movie's gonna be enough. It only took you a couple hours to get through the first half, right? Okay, so take a few more hours, chew through the rest of the books. Then we'll talk.

So the man who wrote my game did the same for those shows you were watching with your friends?  He has quite the dark mind to come up with all of that! I'm sure he is a good person though. I mean Fuminori thought like that to and he was very, very, kind to me while we were together.

And you were thinking of send me to the romance game, right? I don't know about that... Once they catch a glimpse of my true form no one will want to be friends with me. That is how it has always been.

Business classes? Right. Uh-huh.

Look, you know what he did, even in this 'AU' thing. I tried to get through to him. It didn't work.

And now it's too late for the Truffula trees. I don't want any more to do with him.

I'm perfectly happy at Hogwarts, I'll have you know. I've been there for seventeen years after all ever since my ickle boy Severus insisted I go into a witches protection program for my own safety after he'd double crossed Voldemort. Go ahead and babble about 'alternate realities' and the Dark Lord taking over the school all you like—it doesn't matter to me one wit.

So you can just sit down and be quiet, you stupid, silly girl. I've no intention of pulling up stakes and going to some silly game, or musebox, or whatever you call it.

I want them to be Mine! They should all be mine! Minemineminemine!

I know that you are considering sending me somewhere, that you told me. And that there's little to none possibility that my Steffon would be there, something which is terribly saddening. But please, could it be a place where I could be with my children? Of course I know Robert is five and ten and Stannis three and ten, but no matter what anyone says, they are still children. And Renly is a little babe. As commendable as is Maester Cressen's work with their education, they need their mother.

I messed up, okay? It wasn't fair, it wasn't right, but it's still my fault. Starkey trusted me and I failed and it's over and there's nothing anyone can do to fix things now, even you. Offering things you can't give, trying to sneasel your way out of this, bribing with some stupid vacation in the sky... all you're doing is making it worse.

Just stop it, stop helping.

It'll be okay. My team and me, we'll deal, we always do, just stop doing this and give me some time alone.

My lady mun,

It's nice to know you're worried about me. I'm sure you will find out more as the story progresses, after all, they've been teasing about it for a while now.

And I think one of these 'dressing rooms' would be a good idea in the meantime. Everyone needs to practice. And there does seem to be a lot of us around lately - perhaps you could ask around and see what others think?

Look. Mun.

I know, being an earth mother kind of instills in you that kind of... motif. A sense of promiscuity. A feeling that I'd screw around. Because it takes two to tango, et cetera et cetera.

But please keep in mind, one, that this is a no-smut game, so stop thinking smuttish thoughts. Two? I'm perfectly happy with Ren being a kind of weirdly platonic thing, with the only "intercourse" going on being mutually-ensured insanity.

In other words, STOP TRYING TO SLASH US, YOU PONCE.

But if I am to be here, then so be it. I know my limitations Mundane, unlike you. I look forward to watching you crash and burn just like you did so many other times. I am quite surprised that you've continued playing that old relic who claims to be the "true" Shredder as long as you have.
