I do believe that you were the one who predicted this would happen. Try as you might, you still came crawling back to the idea, picking away at it like a vulture takes to bones. Do you not see how foolish your attempts are? You were better off choosing Alistair to be your little puppet and not I.

...Although, now that I am here, I am loathe to encourage you to pursue him. I much prefer the peace and quiet to his incessant babble.

Could you give it a rest on the application for the alcohol in the tin suit and get to work on mine some day soon?

red_the_nightless_castle

Cripes, shut up already!

Listen, yes. I know there have been problems with people in the outside world making us act "out of character". And I know that you're afraid that I'm not exactly the same as the more pristine, untouched Remilia five blocks down or whatever.

The fact of the matter is, 'in character' or not, my name is Remilia Scarlet, and I do things my way, simple as that. And the idea that you, a mundane human, could control me is ludicrous. As a matter of fact, I think we need to set some ground rules. Those plebs you're so worried about don't matter, I am the only one you should be listening to.

First of all, no dating memes, and no shipping. If I want to be amused, I have Kay. If I want someone to feed on, I can do my own hunting. If I want romance, you're doing it wrong.

Secondly, yeah, fine. I could use some of the crew in the city. Don't try to bring in Sakuya, though, unless you're letting her bring the mansion with her. If she's not my maid she might get that free-thinking thing going, and we don't really want that. Have someone bring Patchy around, or something. Or hell, even Meiling.

Finally, speaking of food, LET ME JUST DAMN WELL HUNT ALREADY. Forget these 'permission memes' and 'plot planning'. It's no harder than grabbing a person and biting them! Cripes. Tea and pastries can only last me so long, and considering how often you have me go out in the sun, I need to keep up my strength.

Oh, and before I forget? Stop panicking about how people are going to react to this post and just post it already, sheesh!

willinglyforged

So you've finally shoved me in here. Thought you wouldn't have the will to stay away. Why did I have to get stuck with such a weak mundane? And mundane is the word! You're so boring. If only I could have your heart...

At least this tower place doesn't sound too bad. Apparently there are so many people who know me as a sweet boy. I can't wait to prove them wrong!

anethara

Aren't you getting a bit ahead of yourself? Not that I mind especially, because I don't. It's sort of interesting poking around up here, even if you don't mean to do anything particular with me. There's plenty to keep me occupied, between those dirty memes you tag and all the pictures of baby animals you've been looking at, and--ooh, is that Hawke up here as well, and Bethany? Their corner's a bit musty and strung with cobwebs, but it's nice to see them all the same!

Alright dude I see that determination in your eyes. I think we can turn this party around!

We've been at this thing for years you and I, honestly if we were dating I think my friends would be asking me when I was gonna put a ring on it.

...except being a superhero I'm sure any wedding I was in would be attacked by the Brotherhood of evil or something. Not cool.

Ok so let's brainstorm huh? We'll listen to some songs that make you think of me, watch an episode or two, read my books. Then this weekend we'll hit the writing desk like you caught it breaking into your house!

What could possibly go wrong?

Dude, this isn't funny. I'm not a hooker, that isn't where I got the money from and you know it.

Just can't win with you. Give you 30 episodes and I'm suddenly back online. I thought we went over this- and not just me..your other muses holed up here too. NO MORE. Especially not there. You've got enough going on and you can NOT even begin to keep up. Besides, how do we know this isn't one of your 'phases'. Oh yes, I was a phase last time, ten bucks says I am again.

[another beat]

Impossible.

hotheadedsavior

Lookin' good, mun! Just a little more and then you can submit it. Huh? What do you mean you need someone else to read it over first? Why? Com'on, that will just take up valuable playing time. I've already waited this long - why do I have to wait longer?

[HUFF]

If I'm the all-powerful Avatar then how is it you, a non-Bender, have such control over me? I'd like someone to answer that one for me.

emerald_terror

Well you cant exactly say you didnt see this coming can you? Not that im not flattered as heck that you chose me of all the fine folks youve got up here *tugs at his collar and wipes the steam from his glasses*

Anyway youve just gotta have patience my gun loving compadre. Keep pounding away at that application and maybe youll luck out. Id hate to miss out on what sounds like the adventure of a lifetime but if it happens youll just have to deal with it!

renunciation

I do hope you know what you're doing.

I have my doubts. I may apparently be one of your 'favorite characters of all time', but that doesn't mean you have the time to play me somewhere. Even somewhere smaller.

Have I not fought enough wars? I'm happy here in England. I've moved on and I have built a new life, which is more than you can say for my siblings. I have no desire to be put in such a place. Whether I rise to the challenge or not is irrelevant. I don't want to go there.

I strongly advise you to reconsider.

iriomote

Hi, mun! Wow it's really been a while, ~nya? I saw the place you're thinking of sending me too and it doesn't look that bad! Beyond the whole, you know, "boss guy doesn't want you to leave" thing, it's tons better than the places you sent me to before.

But I was thinking... maybe you should slow down a bit? I mean, you're doing an awesome job over at the other place and stuff-- Zodion, right? But you're also thinking about applying as that other guy there: the one with that funny blue-hair-thing. I mean, sure, his game isn't even out yet, but eventually having four people in two different places is a bit too much, don't you think?

It's just a thought! I totally have no problem with it if you think you can go for it, ~nya!

lordoftheland

A curious proposition, if a weak one. For what cause should Oberon, Lord of Avalon, agree to reside in the mind of a mortal child? You will give Us a worthwhile reason.

[...]

[Thoughtful hum.] Indeed, it is true that this realm is a fascinating one. I wish to explore it further. Very well: you have Our permission to post this. You will remember your place and not consider any... homes. [Strange word in this context, but Oberon is Kind and Tolerant of mortals and will indulge this tiny little mun for now.]

No, I don't think so. That isn't clever or funny. Pick another one.

drippingred

I told you to let me lie low. Not try to write an application out of a fit of whimsy.

You should pay more attention to your current work load and stop trying to do more. You'll just end up disappointing yourself and others.

Perhaps you can apply with me in the future, I'd like to go to this place. I need a vacation.

Besides, Barton would be there.

Think about it and get back to me.

Just because cats, and animals in general, care for me does not mean that I need one. It does not mean that I even care for them in return.

holeinmymind

You've done this before mun, sat here with me and attempted to do something. The last time you did it you gave up, so what makes you think doing this now is going to get you any further then before? Especially back to that place, even though I know you keep watching it and thinking you want to go back.

And no, sending me elsewhere is not a good compromise seeing as how the alternatives are not exactly what I would consider welcoming.

If you do decide to send me back there promise me you'll at the very least do more with me then you did before. If you can't then I would very much like to tell you to go back to the others and leave me alone.

curiousity

Dearest Miss Mun,

It has been the longest time since you last contacted me. You were very ill last time we spoke and I am glad to see that you are now well. I too have been very well although lonely; I do not remember the last time I saw Simon, Miss Yoko or any of Dai-Gurren. I would like to request that if you were to play me at a game that it would be alongside my friends. They must be suffering if there is no cook for them after all.

Ah... Miss Mun? What exactly is a 'game'? Is it a fun game?

Yours sincerely,

Nia Teppelin

dualized

Can we start over? You have regrets and I have my own too, but... I think we both agree we can get past them together.

I want another chance and so do you.

This time let's make sure we both can move forward without any regrets.

thneedifestdestiny

Right. Okay...I think I get this whole alternate universe magical school thingy you keep talking about.

What I don't get is why you're putting me in Slytherin. You see, that's the Bad Guy house. I clearly don't belong there. Yeah, yeah, I know you keep trying to tell me about that thing I'm supposedly going to do, but I haven't done anything wrong yet! Don't you think you're being a little unfair, sticking me with all the dark wizards over something that hasn't even happened yet?

Come on, can't you put me in Ravenclaw or something? Or even Gryffindor! I could so be a Gryffindor. My Thneed is going to change the world, and that's obviously more of a Gryffindorish thing. Either way, I don't belong in Slytherin, so stop trying to make my life miserable, okay?

Hey you! Yes, you--

Don't think I'm going away. Yeah, that game might have closed, and I have the most overused face on the fucking planet right now --don't think I don't see that English sounding tosser in the corner-- but I'm here to stay, son, and you better get used to it, and so should everybody else.

Now. Fucking snap to it. You want to chuck some monsters at me? Come on ahead, then.

crushallbirds

It finds this amusing, does it? It should be wary. I would no more hesitate to crush its head than anything else's.

But so far I have no objections. This 'internet' place is clean and free of putrid liquids and fleshy nonsense. Better, I have yet to see any birds. It is filled with ignorant beings who waste a great deal of time, but so is everywhere else. I do not object to further exploration.

It will allow me to squish any birds I may come across, however, or I will cease to be cooperative.

sixthdeadliest

Mun,

You know it's not likely anyone will respond to the the Test Drive meme this late in the game, don't you? Applications close next Thursday.

You already play me in two separate games on Livejournal. Are you sure you want to add a third?

Think it over, mun. And if you're serious about it, get started on that application immediately. If you don't get it finished on time, you'll only have yourself to blame.

andbob

You presume that I will object to the username that you have selected for our interactions because it is only tangentially related to my point of origin, based entirely on a mildly disturbing children's cartoon with nostalgic value, and, as you say, a cheap pun.

I don't.

It amuses you, and as this is not an endeavor you plan on pursuing beyond genial conversations, whatever indignity you feel is attached to it does not concern me.

Nor do I feel the emotion known as shame.

Now, since we both know that this is merely an exercise of futility, why don't you put the keyboard down and go spend some more time with your father. Your time with him is short, after all.

semiaquatic

[Okay, Perry honestly doesn't know what you're doing, mun, but this is a new one. Perry also figures that his mun would at least try to catch up on the last season than doing something like this, but hey, her call.

He also doesn't understand why he needs a human form, he's perfectly capable of doing things on his own as a platypus. ... Except for talking, he can't do that of course, that would be silly. Platypi can't talk.]

hairflyingheartpounding

I'd really like to go back, mun. So... Maybe even if the new story doesn't work, you can use the old one?

I'd like it if you thought about it! I know a lot has changed, but Amelia is still there! And I can make new friends, too! You know I like that.

...Also, it's not really important, I guess, but why are you using the, um, mouse... Thing with the wrong hand?

Why do they call it a mouse, anyway?

inthenorth

As I see, one of the most important qualities of leadership is being able to prioritize one's tasks in an efficient fashion-- you fail miserably in this aspect.

Perhaps you should stop collecting these ridiculous 'icon' things and go back to finishing your scholarly studies. I daresay you would benefit from it.

invitingwitch

Are you really thinking of finding a way to allow me to exist? People will think you cruel to let my former self give into despair. It would be interesting.

A tea party...yes, that's just the thing to celebrate such an event. I wouldn't mind having a butler at my party, either. If he knows how to behave.

It wouldn't do if my guests were scared of him.

You've finally decided to put me back in a game. It's been a long time since you've played me, but you think you can do it.

At least you plan on reviewing the series starting tonight.

You think that you can control me? There is no way that I will take orders from a mere child. I have a business to run. Go back to your classes before you stumble into something that you have no way of comprehending.

Great. Just great. Everyone knows I haven't had enough of that to last me until my mid-life crisis. Nope. By all means, bring out the dinosaurs. I don't think I entirely wet my pants the last time a T-Rex tried to eat me.

Oh. This time it's for a secret initiative. Well. That changes everything. Nothing really brightens your day like the threat of brainwashing.

Since we clearly have Marco's Favorite Things covered with this new, genius idea, let me just ask you this:

Okay, okay. If anyone's earned the right to the name Scarlet Spider, I guess it's him. If he ever shows his face, I'll try not to go too hard on the guy. At least Kaine actually knows who the Scarlet Spider was, unlike that costume-hijacking Hardy girl.

[ Reilly could not sound more disdainful if he tried. ]

And another thing -- so we both want to live up to his legacy. That's the only thing Kaine and I have in common! You got that?

omnomnombunzuh

I don't think squealing, guh, about the appearance of familiar faces around here is a very wise way to spend your time. Tiiiie. Muh.

And watching our television show? Even more useless. The aliens are even more implausible than those on Star Trek. Additionally, I'm rather insulted that the writers seem to think there's nothing more to me than a love of food and an addiction to popular human culture. I am a warrior, they should remember that! Hat.

Have your forgotten your mission to complete this application? Need I remind you that you have failed before? I would like us to succeed at some point. Though I would prefer my superpower have something to do with eating food rather than weaponizing it. Weaponzing. Zing!

This means I'm not going to die and make my big brother sad, right? Good, that's enough to make this all worth it. Saber might be a little jealous that I get to stay with Shirou and she didn't but, I'm sure she'd also be happy knowing he has someone who loves him at his side.

I guess Rin or Sakura could do the same thing, but I'm clearly the one he loves the most!

adjutant

Provided I can continue doing my duty, I have no preferences as to where you place me. You seem to understand how important my work is to me, which earns you my respect. I'm fairly tolerant and will be able to handle whatever you throw at me, on that condition.

I have an important job to do, mundane; please do not disrupt my work. I don't have time for frivolities when so much hangs in the balance. I hope you understand that.

If you do, I don't see why we can't get along.

Dear mun, why on earth does the English sub turn my Zoisite into a....woman? Why? He is just fine being himself. Alright, he does act a little girlish at times but there is no need for him to completely loose his....manhood.

Dear Mun-Thing,

You're a righteous pain in the ass, you know that? You trot me out because you're bored? Right, yeah, like I don't have better things to do. What's next? You're gonna start launching me at canons you watch? The Spookynatural and the Vampires-who-never-die-aries?

Please. If any of those idiots ever saw a real Kindred, they'd probably wet their pants.

I swear to God, if you throw me at someone who sparkles, I'm going to kick your ass.

Not with love,

talkyoudead

Oh, a journal to myself and Dear Mun, even--you do realize you're rapidly losing any credibility in insisting you don't want me here, don't you? I imagine you think you're terribly clever, giving me this journal name. I assure you I am no more a fool than I have wings, though I expect you've succeeded in your goal of inventing a name that no one but the two of us will ever understand.

You still have reservations. Not sure whether you want to post this? You're only pretending to watch the television; in truth, you stopped typing in favor of picking at your fingernails. It's a rather obvious nervous habit. You'd do well to remedy that.

So you're nervous--why? Because you think you can't be me? You can't. I'm sure that's not surprising to you; you were hardly attempting to become a different person in the first place. All you're trying to do is produce a reasonable enough facsimile to convince the average roleplayer. Trust me, that's a far simpler task.

You're biting your lip. Replace one nervous habit with another, it doesn't make a difference. But you've gotten this far, which either means you're far more of a fool than I am, or you think you can pull it off.

Go ahead--impress me.

I'm not surprised that you would choose someone as brilliant as me.

I know you're excited about it, but don't get too caught up. Also "lab days" do not count as dates. At that point, I'm sure there'd be objections from all sides. A Desian and a human make a very unlikely couple.

I know you do, but I'd like a game where I can see them, too. Just not with that as a starting point! Let's just be patient and see where this goes. Besides, we still need something more solid than what canon has to offer, so it'd need to be someplace flexible. You know that because we've talked about it, but you're still so fidgety! I think you might belong in that "musebox" more than I do.

Well. Congratulations. You got the first season done.

Now you have to work on the next season. You're not out of the woods yet.

If I'm honest, I don't think you have any sort of plan. You say you want to change me, that you have some kind of vision for me and you want to break into some - hidden potential or something -

And then you toss me places like this without a care. You want me to face being killed, don't you?

If I'm as dull naturally as you think, why do you bother? Why don't you find someone else more fitting and capable?

wedonot

Yes, it was a little discouraging to hear that some people apparently find wanting to prevent potential genocide a "dumb argument" for wanting to help Erik make some progress here, but it's just a temporary set back. [This doesn't make Erik right. The Barge isn't a good sample of humanity, it brings out the worst in everyone, and he isn't walking away from the cause because of a few people.]

I understand why people are jumping to conclusions, and I am emotionally invested. Probably more than I should be, as long as we're being honest. But this isn't just a question of what's best for Erik. It's what's best for everyone, on the Barge and at home, and I do wish more people would understand that.

... And no, I'm not thrilled to hear you're enjoying watching this spiral out of control. This place is supposed to help people, and I think it's safe to say that's the exact opposite of what's happening here. And while Erik completely losing control might finally show everyone I was right? [And now he allows himself to sound a little defeated:] I really don't want to be, this time.

fireofshandora

Woman! [The voice is a snarl, but not altogether threatening. He appears to be pacing in frustration, and his eyes are narrowed intensely.]

How long will you insist on keeping me in this place? I am tired of these games; did you not think I could handle myself there? Hmph! [He perches somewhere high, his spear leaning back against his shoulder. He growls a bit as he looks around, every muscle tense.]

Despite how you lord over this place, I refuse to bow to you; only arrogance would make you think you can contain a warrior of Shandora!

I think we have issues.
