Jul. 2nd, 2012

I'd really rather not go anywhere. I'm fine relaxing in your headspace.

[ooc: Canon is Crimson Shell]

Hey, boss. I have a question. Just one.

What are we doing?

First you make this journal, then you pick a crap chute of a point to pull me from. But you said we were moving forward, so good for us. Then you tell me you're not ready for a game, that I'm not ready for a game, and we're not even moving forward. No negotiations, nothing. D'you know how ready I am for a drink right now?

That was rhetorical. Still at one question.

Anyway, I thought this was going to be a short term thing? A fling. You know, get all that energy out and let me catch a break for once. Now we've got new accessories and you're spending real time on this, which is distinctly not the same as a fling.

So, back to my question. What are we doing?

eldesthatter

It has certainly been a while, hasn't it Miss Mundane? I've noticed that you pulled my book off the shelf again. I can only assume you mean to place me in another one of these games.

I suppose the one you've selected doesn't look terrible. Certainly safer than Mayfield and I can stay at home in Ingary.

You'll be restarting me though, won't you? Back to Sophie the mouse. It can't be helped, I know.

I also saw you were looking for a proper face instead of these illustrations. I wouldn't mind as long as you find one that's really suitable.

sunflowerseeker

It's about time you brought me over here! I have better things to do than just sit around in your head, you know.

...what do you mean, you don't have any plans for me?

I don't know why I bother. I'm never getting anywhere with you.

teratologist

My word, you really did it. I am rather surprised given your asking for an extension this morning. To write over six pages about me in a day is impressive.

I feel you were quite through, I am sure things will be fine, and if not well you did your best.

Good work my friend, you should have a cup of tea and feel proud of yourself.

I am.

deadliestberet

....Mun, please no, I don't care if you find it extremely amusing. And I already know that you are most certainly not one of those so called "bronies". So why do you find it so amusing? It's not exactly what a person would call a good story either.

Er, also...could you stop sending me to apocalyptic places? You and I both know that I will never be able to actually face down one of those "eldritch horrors". If you really want to keep playing me then could you...m-maybe, send me to somewhere relaxing? Like that village that you sent that police officer to? O-or maybe that one town with the pink houses and the landlord? Th-that looked rather peaceful. At least there I wouldn't have to slip with a knife under my pillow all the time...No, not Mayfield, you know which one I'm talking about mun.

...A-and for the last time, would you please stop laughing over that story?

( Talk of evil plans and depravities not fit for minors under the cut. )

mechasshole

Now, it's not to say I'm not flattered--but are you sure you're not getting ahead of yourself, young lady?

moonlightmagician

Hey. You know what would have been nice? A warning.

You have some explaining to do.

You know who you are.

childemperor

Your enthusiasm is refreshing, I must say. It pleases me to see you as happy as you are now. And to have both Fran and Balthier with me, I'm relieved to not find myself alone in such a strange new world. Nonetheless I cannot stress on the importance of returning to Ivalice, to Archadia.

I can only hope that Gabranth is well in my absence, that Penelo, Vaan and the Lady Ashe have all been returned to Dalmasca. That the... matters of state...

[ He sighs to himself annnnnnd goes quiet. ]

2nd_spectre

Watching it over and over won't make it hurt any less. Trust me, I know.

terraformagica

Oh, you're doing it, you're really doing it! I forgive you for taking so long and putting it off even when you didn't have anything better to be doing and spending more time on silly coding and everything!

Current Mood: jubilant

unsoldiered

... Why would you bring me here? I appreciate the 'getaway', but I...

Shit, I have a lot to think about. I'd rather take some time alone, away. After what happened to Shepherd's Glen... After what I've seen in Silent Hill... What I've done? I'm not going anywhere. No games, no cages, nothing like that. I spent four years of my life...

[......]

Forget it.

I just need time to think.

pixiesized

I really have to ask: do you find this funny?

Current Mood: grumpy

ailing

Hey, now!

You can't just... just put me somewhere! I like it in Lhant, with Asbel, and that's where I'm going to stay! I don't want to visit some strange city, or castle, or... or wherever. You can't just decide these things on your own! Grandpa would be worried sick. I'd worry everybody...

I- I mean, these places might be interesting, but I'd much rather stay with Asbel...... [ She trails off for a second, then seems to pick up steam again. ] And besides, there's my health to consider. I don't think it would be good for me to end up alone in some place I don't know.

....You don't care? Un-believable!

You're horrible!

meangirl

Ha—a? You want to play? ★

[ Grell's laugh is light — all sparkling mirth entwined with something a little darker — but those blood-red undertones are easily glazed over by the maraschino cherry sweetness that is the rest of her personality. Still, her amusement doesn't stop her from acting a petulant pout: ]

But you'll be nice to me this time, won't you? Don't think I don't remember what happened when you last tricked me into having fun with you ...

[ She places a manicured hand against her breast in an all together too dramatic pose. ]

Dreadful! A lady should never have to do such nasty things for a proper gentleman, even if she did like it a little bit.

[ The wink that follows is conspiratory — she won't tell if you won't.

... Oh, all right, so maybe she will; as if she has to answer to a pathetic little girl. Honestly. ]

Before we begin, though, you have to tell me: how many paintings will we make together~?

atadiscoverer

Listen, taking this hiatus is probably for the best. If it means you can concentrate more on getting things right by taking a break from game commitments, I'd say do it.

You're not going to be at your best if you're bloody stressed. And don't worry about me. If you feel like sending me home because you can't cope, or your grip is slipping on me, do it. I won't blame you.

And I'm sure none of your other muses, or your friends, would blame you.

ladyofgotham

No.

I don't need rehabilitation. What I need is to go back home and run my city.

I really don't care if Barda called me a dictator. All I'm doing is keeping Gotham safe.

I can't do that on some intergalactic prison ship.

~~And I won't leave Supergirl to fend for herself.~~

kalicurry

Dear Saravati,

I'm not sure how comfortable I am about you speculating in detail about my... well... um... sexuality. We both know I'm no innocent, but I'm also a different man now. So, if you please.

It's making me feel very awkward.

Current Mood: embarrassed

myrod_nurface

Mun,

Or maybe I should just call you asshole. Look, I’m glad you’re letting me out to stretch my legs a bit. But, we’ve got to talk about those games you’re looking at, yo.

I can handle the “sex”. I can handle being thrown in prison, it aint’ the first time or anything like that. But, hell if I want to go someplace where there are talking rainbow ponies that sparkle and spew rainbows and sunshine.

So, look. I’m going to go down the street and have a beer or seven and you can decide where the hell you want to send me. Don’t screw me over, yo.

mechatronic

Spider-who?

verygassy

...Really? A scallop? How...

...Ok then. Nothing you do or plan shocks me anymore. Even knowing how you plan to app me into that other game. Or the fact you want me to impersonate Bella Swan again in the near future. Or that book you submitted to the mod. Yeah.

At least the French restaurant idea came out all right. That is a step in the right direction!

hacktivist

You are anticipating a "meltdown". I think it probable you will be disappointed. I have always found it more conducive to bend than to break under pressure.

Believe me. I shall behave as the circumstances dictate, and, to the best of my ability, control my emotions within those circumstances.

...I fail to see an operative difference between "control" and "suppress." Heh. Let's not banter.

But. Yes. I will miss her.

Additionally you should remember to contact Stark's mun and run your idea by her. I've been idle too long.

sharpsuitfluffytail

Between the name and the loathsome layout selection, I have to ask: did you think that was funny, are you just that stupid?

This is unacceptable. I have much more important things to deal with than entertaining your thoughts. Unclean thoughts, at that! No, I won't even acknowledge them further. Already I want to take an hour-long hot shower just to scrub them away. Oh, for heaven's sake, just the mention of a shower and you think--no, never mind, just stop.

And no, a diamond collar will not make up for it. I'll have you know I am a well-respected scientist, a wealthy businessman at that, and I will not put up with this abuse for much longer.

skinnylittlenobody

Look, if you think you know me well enough to "play" me, then fine. No, really. I mean, you have answers and I have questions so I think having you around would do me some good

apersonjustforme

What's a fourth wall, mun? Chii has never heard of it before and Hideki nor anyone else Chii has spoken to has told Chii.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

trap_phantasm

. . .

. . .

. . . How pointless.

sekaigaodoru

It's been a long time, Mun.

Are you sure you're ready to be playing me yet? You already have several other muses that you're trying to test voices for, aren't you? Maybe it's best if you...

[And thus Anzu glares hard at her Mun.]

...No. Close that document and stop writing that application. Don't you dare send me to a place like that!

simple_simon

Ah, well, it appears you have finally let me out to play my little games, as it were. A noble gesture. And quite a stupid one, but given the number of so-called 'heroes' you play, it is difficult to be surprised.

Now, I'm a little bit different than the others. Chaos is not the goal, per se, merely one of many means I employ to my ends. I am for hire, as it stands, a man without a country who can and will defeat any effort to thwart his efforts. And, conveniently, make an absurd about of money while doing so.

But I've spent enough time talking to you. Do send Katya out to...speak with me if you see her.

alwaysataclimax

I do NOT need that stinkin' perverted turtle around, alright?! So quit hopin' it'll happen. I don't need any of those guys. They'll just get in the way and cramp my style.

...

_{They're better off not coming to this hell-hole anyway.}

folklorist

I-I know you, you have something rather bad in mind for me with this run in with K-Katie. I-I just...I just hope you don't make it have any lasting effects. [ Like causing Apep to arise and possess him. ] I wouldn't know...how to even begin to apologize if I h-hurt anyone. [ Not sure if apologies would even be enough in that state. ]

As for my sight it's only a for a few months and it could be worse. Seeing the world without color is...surprisingly eye opening, actually. I, ah, never realized how much we needed such things. But th-thank you for not...going with the other ideas you had. I only wish I could have said goodbye to Rue before she left a-and not have left her with such a terrible ordeal before she did.

systemtrace

Yes, I'm sure.

Don't be a null-unit. It's not like I'm leaving behind anything better.

And stop making the other muns cry. It happened, I kept running, end of line.

As for the rest of your baseless speculation, well. ~~I'll probably never know, will I?~~

lovescaf_pow

Hey, hey! It's totally fine to be nervous!

[Here have a Caf-Pow, Mun. And a shoulder punch because you're too nervous!]

I think this will be fun! [She smiles, the excitement reaching her eyes.]

Tony, Ziva and McGee are there right? It wont be so bad then! Sex islands aside.

[See that mischievous grin, Mun? She's definitely up to the challenge.]

Get working on that application, okay?

poisontongued

Was there aught you wished to do with me? Or shall I be forced to remain here within the vagaries of your mind?

Know that I do not enjoy being kept waiting long.

iknowicanworkit

Mundane!

The 1950s? Really. Well, congratulations, mun, you found somewhere worse than Lima! And no, that's not all, thank you very much!

[Deep breath, deep breath.]

First of all -- and I'm sorry this makes me "stereotypical" -- but I am really not comfortable with the fact that the platypus on your shirt is better-dressed than you are.

Also, drop the weird Western AU story idea. There's no way to make it work, and you know it.

Yours, without a choice,

Another place, more faces I could care less about. I think I actually miss that wasteland from before; at least Gabriel was there to entertain me. And, of course, there was dear Cassie, who, let's face it, I wasn't going to talk to again for a very long time.

You have poor timing, honey, I'll have you know. But, well, I suppose it's not your fault. You're only human.

Ah, yes, by the way, since you think it would be just bloody hilarious to see me speak in another language: .لا تقلق عزيزتي

You know, just because a username that would be good for me isn't taken, doesn't mean that it's a good idea to take it. Especially if you already have a username for me.

I'd like to visit that world.

You can wait until the movie's on DVD before you try to write that into fic, though. I'm pretty sure one viewing of the movie isn't going to get you anywhere in terms of writing people right.

You've been anticipating this for awhile, haven't you? It seems that you are not the simpleton I once assumed you to be!

Ah, wǒ de ài, we will do marvelous things together!

As long as you know your place, that is.

newpaygrade

Oh, I see what you're going for. This is like a little test drive or something, right? First off, step back, girl. You're crowding me. Second, how about sprucing up this journal-- something slick, but professional. That's what you're going for, isn't it?

Hey, hey! It's a suggestion. You just need to let go and let this eagle soar. Do his thing.

I mean, you probably have some good judgement in there, because your taste in men is pretty damn solid.

Just sayin'.

goalenu

...Whadda you mean, "keeping him gagged"??

idealizing

Are you sure about this? You haven't even finished the other game yet.

[ A pause. ]

...ah, yes. I guess the language barrier would be a problem. Well, I'll trust you for now. They'd say the same thing, right?

A maker's word is law. There is no way a child born of his or her blood can resist an order. No matter how old or stubborn. I was nigh a thousand years old when I created Eric and he fell into his life as a vampire with little travesty. Then again, vikings were much more savage than modern day vampires. I suppose the transition was easier.

urchin

Look, I'm not sure about the rest of it.. about my story not happening yet or happening differently. I might not know Balthier or Basch, Fran or Lady Ashe. Or anyone else from Ivalice that shows up.

I might not even be ready to make Reks proud.

But we've got this, mun. One way or the other, we can be the pilots of our own destiny. If I can help change the course of history, I should try, no matter what way it ends up going down.

[ THAT'S WHAT SHE THINKS. TALK TO THE APP, AZULA. ]

Mun-san! Please don't give up writing my application! You can do it! I believe in you!

willfreezeyourunderpants

First off, I'm not sure what to make of your choice of username. Sure, it's something that I can do, but it's not a habit of mine. I only do it to people that deserve it. Like Johnny. ~~And he's not my best friend.~~

Secondly, I'm excited that you decided to do this but it's probably a good idea if you review my canon before doing anything too serious. We both know it's been forever since you've read some of those earlier issues.

So I'll just sit back and chill while you get to work. We'll have plenty of fun after that.

foreveryakone

Well I hope you're enjoying yourself. Sure, I could use a history -- one before the... obvious -- even if you won't do much of anything worthwhile with it. Or are you reconsidering?

Our legacy does deserve more attention and respect than it got. A great deal more. So write away. You know very well I'm not going anywhere unless you finally make up that mind of yours for good.

catalystmic

It's been a long road for all of us. We're almost there but we still have a ways to go before it's over. I don't know what'll happen, but I won't run away anymore.

Still, it's probably best to finish the story before you send me anywhere, mundane.

flaerd

My dearest mortal,
Do seize your thinking too hard routine
we wouldn't want to blow a fuse now would we?

Whoa, hold on.

So, uh. You are going to send me... back to the camp, back to 2014. where... you know, my incredibly fearless leader will be very displeased to find that i, uh, am not all that dead after all, and was exploring a different world instead. and you think that... letting me bang a last gong with vanadi is oh so sad...

didn't we both know it would come to... this? i will follow him, no matter. it's where i need to be.

just... uh... don't even think of 'rescuing' me when i have no place to be but there, in the end. there is no dean in cittágazze. there is no purpose in cittágazze.

so, uh. just stop trying, baby. it's the end of the world.

brokethefourthwall

Aw, come on Munnie-mun! Cheer up! There's still five more days in this cycle, I'm sure somepony will show up before then! Luceti can be pretty kooky with stuff like that! I mean, if Fluttershy can just vanish in the middle of the night, maybe somepony else can show up the same way!

And besides! Even if nopony shows up this cycle, there's still lots of other ponies to play with. Plus, it gives me even more time to come up with parties to throw when the rest of my friends do show up~! [Giggle.]

changedbywar

[Tugging on the zipper to a red dress that would make Jessica Rabbit proud...if America could just get to zip up over her hips.]

Sometimes, you can't always get what you want or what you think you need.

[She grunts and tugs her zipper again.] And sometimes that dress from thirty years ago just ain't gonna fit...even if it fit just last year!

I try not to worry about, yanno? It could have shrank just as much as I grew.

So just cause your bathing suit and stuff from last year don't fit, it don't mean you're old or fat. Twenty-seven is the new seventeen and two hundred thirty-six is the new one hundred thirty six.

[She takes a long, deep breath, sucking her stomach in and yanks the zipper one more time. Ziiiiiip! Over her hips and now securely dressed.]

Ha! [Small ripping noise. Oops!] Oh damn. Well, anyway. Point is, you still got it. Now put on that bathing suit and get groomed for that pool party. I'm going to carefully pull myself out of this and call a seamstress. What we got is great, and we are both gonna look hot for my birthday...if a little cheap this year.

commonbrand

"...and we rode off into the sunset on hallaback."

Okay that's uh, cute in a stupidly cheesy way I guess...but how exactly would that work? I know a halla can hold an elf, but a dwarf too?

Nnnnno, don't think so. I'd probably have to be lifted up and everything too and I don't like the idea of being carried.

Everything's too sodding tall topside, I swear.

So yeah, congrats, go to bed, and quit embarrassing yourself. It's not like anyone else cares.

I think we have issues.
