I wouldn't say this, normally, but...you're...doing it wrong. She's not that smart. I know you are. But she isn't. And it's fine when you want to make me...I don't know, whatever, cutesy (and okay with doing that in a dump truck, really???), but it's just...how can anyone be clever, with that kind of addiction?

Yeah, listen to your sister. The cat ears and the Japanese should help.

hoorawes

You gave your word you wouldn't take me astray before my father's blood was avenged, and despite my hopes for your plans to come a copper I'm glad you've followed through with your word on at least that much. Mama's heart is still aching all to pieces and I don't aim to stray far, but... [slowly, thoughtfully] the idea of stretching my legs is one I would not mind taking up, considering the length of time confined to bed and rest...

[She misses her arm. Damnable snakes, they are simplistically ruthless in the way they've complicated her life; she stops to remember the ride through the night on Little Blackie--however much she can even remember, anyway.]

While I unfairly grudged him for a bitter and feverish moment, I would be pleased to see Cogburn again. He didn't give me a chance to thank him proper. [but then again, just one jab at his dignity could do for revenge] Though fetching him would be a difficult quest if any, I'm sure there's a saloon somewhere close where he's found himself fat as a tick.

demiosing

Ah? You find it horrible?

I actually find it quite soothing.

givemeyourfaaaaace

An amusing theory, mundane. But if you expect me or anyone else to tell, you must be lacking in even less of what little insight I credited you with. But whether I am Amon or not, I will gladly anticipate the shock over your face when it ends...

dont_touchmyshit

Look, you've been having this dilemma for the past week and I know you're driving your primary musebox partner insane. I told you her characters didn't have enough backbone to hold a candle to me. If there is one thing I can't stand from you, it's indecision. You said that Alpan Station was the game and now you've changed your mind.

You're starting to irritate me. You know how unpleasant I can be when I'm irritated.

Make up your damn mind before I make it up for you.

territorial

We've been through this many times. Since we seem to have a misunderstanding, let me go over this one last time: my nature doesn't allow for me to be in close quarters with others of my kind. I'm not sure which part of that is difficult to understand, nor am I certain you even care, but consider this your warning. I would rather avoid engaging in a turf war within the confines of a spaceship.

You've done well to resist from sending me somewhere for a few years now. Let's not break that habit.

kingroadie

Its nights like these that kinda make me wonder bout my place in the world- not that its helped any by you doin' weird shit, mun. Your frettin' and wonderin' of how you'll handle me as things keep changin' round the station.

All that worryin' gets me worried. Its just a horrible cycle. Fuckin' endless, man.

I just wanna remind you, I'm gonna be okay. I've been at this place for ages now, ages and ages. I'll figure out my place, long as I have people to help out. Even if my job title changes, I'm helpin' folks.

So, cut out the worryin', I got it handled.

Now, get your ass to bed.

- Eddie

amethyst_eyes

I don't think I like what you and his mun are planning. It's never anything good; and yes, I have been trying to avoid him.

There is work that I should be doing, taking care of the vegetables and other things growing in the greenhouse. Let people know someone is still there in charge of it after she left.

Can't what happened be left alone for a little longer? It was because of an experiment, he and I can talk about it later.

I'm not worried about what he's going to say.

her_saga

Wow, haven't seen you since that one site owned by Mother Russia. A fine exercise in illustrating the shape of corruption, if I say so myself. ... it's like a weird, bent up circle. Anyhow, we had a topic, didn't we? Okay, uh... ah, right.

MONEY. A HUNDRED MILLION CLAMS' WORTH. EIGHT BILLION YENS. THE KIND OF MONEY THAT THE LOTTERY MAKES AFTER DANGLING SOME SMALLER AMOUNT IN PEOPLE'S FACES.

... What am I going to do with it? Until I figure out how to get back to Fukuoka (Lord Il Palazzo's Fukuoka, let's be clear about that, not the ACROSS-less one in your imaginary game world), I'll be using the money for the conquest budget. ... look, that's not the point!

Just what kind of bourgeois, mustachioed fatcat just hands out money like this? This isn't a pittance or anything no matter how you look at it! It's eight billion yen. Let me spell that out for you, that's... Eighty million hundred yen coins! To say that it's a lot would be a monumental understatement.

And how do you expect I protect this money from everyone after me if every last cent is shoved into this dinky cell phone? If anyone's going to be after us, it'll sure as hell be the phone company.

magiciansempress

[Saki is not sure what to think about both her canon point and the fact she's reserved at a horror tower. Instead, her main point of worry is who is there.]

I don't think I mind Hana-chan being there...

[It'll be awkward given things involving the Midnight Channel, not that she knows what he heard.]

...But that other guy...

[...Saki is most definitely uncomfortable just thinking about him.]

irohdisboat

I suppose I should at least thank you for waiting for today, but-

( The ships! The ships! )

Now, go grab a cup of that cold blasphemy you claim is tea, and calm down a little.

resisting_this

If men crave for warmth, they build a fire.
Should they desire sustenance, so too do they hunt.

It's only sensible to conclude that reaching any success in your own goals must come from such expended effort. Moving forward. Making progress. Doing so one step at a time, if need be. You know as well as I that if the expectations of mere hopes amounted to an equal worth as work itself- then society could thrive on daydreams and wishes alone.

Needless to say, it does not.

virgolatro

[Artemis has shifted herself into the form of a blonde girl child and she has no intention of changing herself back any time soon. While she may appear a child, she still has her old eyes that watch just as a hawk does.]

I wish for my attendants. You will send for them for me.

I want Iphigeneia.

She would know how to council me well. I fear Apollo is a most poor influence on myself. I never would have cursed a mortal before, merely set my dogs upon him.

But I'm not useless, I am not! As long as there are young women who need me and the moon to come about then I can not be outdated, can I? I can not be useless, I am a goddess. I am needed, surely?

No. Send for mother instead.

Damn him. Damn him to the Styx for making me question myself!

feelsbending

Sooooo.

All that. Just happened.

[ shakes head, hands on hips ]

You know, I gotta say, there was definitely a lot of events.

[ smiles ]

How's that, mun Lady? No spoilers or anything!

Except for Pabu being an Airbender all along. Really I would've guessed fire if anything.

See! Misdirection! Man, I'm good at this.

[spoilers in comments probably!]

koreoftheunderworld

You wish for me to describe the Underworld in its entirety? Such knowledge is not for mortals to know until the great sleep overcomes them. Are you prepared for such a transition?

[ A humorless smile. ]

I thought not. Death becomes few and frightens many. Let the Underworld be a mystery to you, dearest Mun. That is how it should be for the majority of mortals. If you prove to be one of the select few who visits before their time, I will welcome you warmly and I know that my husband will do the same.

blackscaled

You shouldn't be so surprised your muse for me has re-awakened.

We both knew eventually I'd return even under those so-called "comedic" circumstances.

[Something then occurs to the dragon and a cruel smile crosses his lips.]

...Even so comedy can also come along with it's own tragedies yes? You've failed to neglect the very fact that now I have finally been brought back to life, I now have the freedom to do whatever I wish to whoever I choose, even within your very head space my imbecilic little puppet-master.

Where do I even begin?

over_bear_ing

What are you doing, making these icons and goofing around? You have obligations to be attending to, and "playing my role" isn't one of them.

Yes, I would love to see my daughter, but the movie just came out yesterday. Aren't you jumping the gun a bit? There isn't even one of the little tags for it yet. Go do something productive!

morphitudinous

So in the end we never made it through. The war's lost. Is trying again in another location even a possibility for us, or is this where we say goodbye? If I could give my opinion on the matter...

It's been a long time. I'm tired, and I've been through a lot of pain that turned out to be all for nothing. Part of me wants to surrender, throw in the towel, and never speak of it again. I can part with my memories, return to my old life, and live through the natural course of events, but those don't end any more positively than this.

On the other hand, I know that there are other crises out there. And even if I won't remember any of this, we both know now that I'm strong enough to stand on my own and fight. I won't become exactly who I am now again, but maybe I'll be even better. Or worse, possibly, but I think I've had enough pessimism for one day.

That's not a solid opinion, is it? Sorry.

Current Mood: disappointed

disborg

Adorable, crediting you hairless nonponies with my creation. But you want in on a little secret? I was in each and everyone of you all along. We all were. It's no use to resist, soon enough you will belong to all of us. The queen is hungry and so are we.

againstthewind

This isn't as good of an idea as you think, Mundane-san. You're going to be facing a lot of opposition!
My popularity is for all the wrong reasons, and people hate me for the same things, too.

But if you can really pull through something like this, I'll root you on.
Just think of what it might be like, being able to play with all of my friends, too!

senna_wales

I knew you would return to me eventually. It was only a matter of time. And I have learned and grown much in power since last we met. Are you ready to fulfill your duties to me this time? I won't tolerate another disappointment from you. My high destiny demands commitment.

Ah. So that's what this is about. Slaying that fool Merlin before he can grow into the old man who has stood in my way? Perhaps you may have some uses yet. Ridding myself of Loki forever would be welcome as well, but I don't expect an accomplishment that high from the likes of you. Loki will fall in time. For now, tell me more about this youthful Merlin. I'm looking forward to meeting him.

What, now you’re worried? Thanks for the concern, but in case you hadn’t noticed I’m good at taking care of myself. _{Most of the time, anyway…}

Whatever else happens, at the end of the day I’m still gonna be there. So stop worrying and focus on the important stuff.

goldcrowned

Well, well. Look who's back.

I wouldn't mind a family member up here with me, mundane. There's so many to choose from, however, that I'm afraid I can't help. I might be a bit biased, and I'd hate to influence your decision one way or the other.

theburglar

A new home? I beg your pardon, but I haven't asked for one. What is wrong with my own?

pure_blood

So, you've finally made you're muse of me again after sooooo many years of of pretending not to liking the series. Right. Well I'm glad you stopped shipping me with...... Potter the idea makes me want to vomit.

I find it rather amusing [Smirk.] that you finally gave in because of that naughty, naughty thread. Not that I am complaining.

Current Mood: amused

tearbender

Did you really have to choose that name? I thought you knew by now, I don't tearbend. I don't cry all the time either!

And, well, are you really sure that this is a good idea? I know Sokka's there, but that city doesn't seem like a nice place.

I really don't want to go, and I don't think it's fair that you're not even letting me think about this!

But all of you writers are like that, aren't you? I know I should be used to it by now, but I just can't do that, no matter how long it's been.

faithorcourage

What the hell do you think you're doing, mun? You really think you can handle me? C'mon, you oughtta know better than to bite off more than you can chew, and I'm way more than you can handle.

Hey, at least you could give me something to do, hmm? You know exactly what'll happen if you just leave me sitting up here. Hop to it, and maybe I'll play nice.

eldestborn

You really are next to useless, aren't you? Say it with me. Application.

Or, as I like to think of it, my license to destroy.

...

I'm not liking the the words you're using. What the hell? Power limitation? Screw you, Lady.

stillplaying

[She can't blame him. Can't blame Peeta for not keeping Rue safe while she's been away. Stuck in this stupid game, this stupid draft. Fighting and killing and for what? Not entertainment. There are no characters here. Not for revolution. No. It's all because these people, these Malnosso, are incapable of fighting their own battles.

Rue won't be there when she gets back. The little girl has gone away, gone back to... what? She doesn't know. It's no one's fault, she tells herself again. Only that of the Gamemakers. Always that of the Gamemakers. But oh, she'll miss her. Miss her so incredibly much. And Arthur, too. He'll be gone, too, won't he?

It's not fair. Not fair at all.]

It's better this way. She never needed another game to play.

[There's a look, almost a scowl as something occurs to her. As she listens quietly, almost assessing her own Gamemaker's thoughts.]

Damn you. I don't need another game, either.

[Hello Dear Mun, have a Spy folding his arms and tapping his foot impatiently.]

Don't play stupid, even if you are quite good at it. You know what I'm waiting for.

[...fine. I'm so sorry for waiting so long to make your account.]

Hmm...well, I suppose zhat is zhe best I can expect from you. Very well, your..."apology", if you can even call it zhat, is accepted.

[He waves his hand dismissively.]

At any rate, now zhat I am here I 'ave a bit of catching up to do. Which is fine, I do enjoy my job after all.

twotailmechanic

Happy birthday, Sonic.

What? Did you think I would say more than that? The "canon move" in-game just got started. It'll pick up in pace, mun.

YOU DON'T MISS ME. YOU'RE LYING. I MEAN I DON'T GIVE A SHIT EITHER WAY, BUT I THOUGHT I'D TRY AND CLEAR YOUR HAZE OF SELF-DELUSION HERE SINCE IT'S OBVIOUS THAT NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO, ESPECIALLY NOT YOU.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

He'll adapt, we both know this. The boy was always mutable if nothing else. There's hardly a need to worry, don't you agree? He'll be fine, he will.

A few points are apparently in order.

One, you don't "throw" me at people. Unless they're mystical sorts, it won't get me what I need. Two, that song is not only annoying but insulting. Three, if you send me somewhere I can't at least see Grace, we both know what will happen and it won't be pretty.

Enough. Let it be, woman.

unattainable_dreams

As you can see, I have pressing matters to attend to, mun. The disappearing of MIA SOLDIER member, Genesis and also my paperwork. Ah, the endless supply of paperwork that ShinRa send me. Playing your video games at loud levels is not helping, mun. I feel a headache coming on. It's just a simple request mun, thank you.

Current Mood: aggravated

seperalis

Yeah, sure. Missed you too, pumpkin.

Me? Absolutely peachy, thanks for asking. Don't worry about the foot an' a half of dust here, it was close but not quite enough to be suffocating. It wasn't like I was in danger. Thanks for asking.

Surprised you picked me to be first, though. You did say a lot of real mean things about me an' where I'm from, you know. Hurt my feelings.

But, guess I should say thanks for letting me stretch my legs. Not like this is heading anywhere, yeah?

Tch. Look at me, being nice. It's like I'm all grown up.

professor_hojo

Mun,

Why do you keep on insisting that I talk to people who are painfully inferior? When you can obviously see that I am busy conducting important research and experiments for the name of science and for ShinRa.

Maybe if you stopped that I can actually get some of my work completed.

Current Mood: pissed off

I can understand your concern. Truly, I can. But I don't understand your sense of humor.

To take me to a point where I'm alone, and unsure of myself, or what I have to do? Where I may fear to sleep, in a house that may be worse than the Manor?

I'm not amused.

And I am not certain I will be allowed to take the camera obsurca with me. Besides-I may not be able to rely on it. You know better than I do how horror games can be when it comes to 'powers'. It may not be pleasant.

...so, please stop laughing. You're not very funny.

Listen. No, listen. Before I go anywhere, we need to make one thing clear.

[Holding one finger up with the air of Very Much Importance. The shirt that says LIFE IS SHORT AND SO IS YOUR PENIS kind of detracts from that look.]

I reserve the right to be completely and totally wasted one hundred and fifty percent of the time. Unless there's something good going on. In which case, I reserve the right to be very, very buzzed.

I did not go into Shit Narnia, squirt guns literally blazing, to be spun around and plopped back into another special brand of Hell without alcohol. However cool that Hell might be.

[Pause.]

Hell isn't cool without alcohol anyway.

lazygenius

How troublesome. You see one picture of me and her and you're making that big tear eyed face wanting to play with me again. Well forget it, I've got a good game going right now with this other guy, you know all of us you "put away", so thanks but no thanks, I'm not interested.

Trust me, I get the whole being restless during the hiatus, no one gets that more than me right now. But you don't see me saying dumb things like that.

Instead I'm catching up on some of my reading, you should look into it. I'd recommend a book on anti-gravity, it's hard to put down. [What was that about saying dumb things, Wally?]

Good evening, mun. It's been a while, hasn't it? Of course I don't mind being woken up again for this. Things didn't go smoothly the last time, but they weren't so bad, right?

Just pace yourself, and we'll be all right. Have you learned to control your temper this past year?

-- Haha, you don't have to look at me like that. You're like Jr., really.

Current Mood: calm

vexed_snake

You thought I wouldn't stick around in your headspace long enough to sustain a game, mun? Yet I'm still trapped here. I've escaped from other prisons, but this one's...interesting. Can't say I care much for the company, but a couple of the others here are at least entertaining should I go looking for a fight.

You don't think you can handle my way of dealing with vexations for long, mun? How amusing. You and I both know what you're capable of.

Now, how about letting me out to play more often before I become too vexed?

noboothneeded

So, the game is closed now? Huh.

Don't expect any big speeches about this from me. I might've had something if you'd had figured out what you really wanted to do with me while you were there. As it is, you didn't, though that might be due to the fact that it wasn't a great fit for me.

That said, if there's nothing holding you back from sending me somewhere else now, we could look around. Not making any promises

captjacksparrow

My dear darling munificent munny-mun-mun-face,

If you're to be wanting to put ol' Jack to some use, why not stick us with the Pearl? Bit of treasure? Bit of adventure. What could go wrong? Roam around as the best pirate doing what pirates do best. Eh? Never could say no to that in the past.

. . .not to say I'm not properly appreciative of what's been happening of late under your wise and wondrous tyranny. No complaints, mind you. Everything agreeable and accommodating still in accordance to our accord. But there's more to life, seems to me, than falling through rifts in space-time or being relegated to a whelp owning only half a dozen years to his age.

Just a thought.

Suggestively yours,

silver_reign

Hey. HEY! HEY YOU!
Okay, now that I've got your attention... I've got a few complaints.

First off, this place you've put me? Little too boring... Come on. I want to do something. This daily happy human life is just... Okay I'll be honest, I haven't seen a single bad thing happen. Yet.

Secondly, you haven't done a thing with me for a while... also boring... Okay there was the whole "Alternate Universe" deal that went on. That aside, I'm dying over here!

Third? Third... third... You know I had a third complaint, but it seems it just up and -- OH! Stop the procrastination on getting me out into other games. I couldn't help but notice you've been playing with the idea for some time now... so get to it.

fuckyouwebber

That version of my life you rewatched is certainly...interesting, to say the least. But with all due respect, Mlle. Mundane, why am I a dog?

Yours,

derangedtheater

You expected something worse? I can’t say I haven’t seen greater tragedies, but this was quite impressive.

chinderella

If you even run that thought by your processor one more time, I will personally shove your head up your tailpipe. Or whatever freakish organic version you got. Do you hear me?

I swear to the allspark, so help me, if you make me some --- human in order to play in your little pretend game along with your convicts and whatever weirdo thing with the creepy eyes - I will slag you.

Now go have a stasis nap or something, munbane, and leave me alone. Heh, munbane.

I think we have issues.
