[He has nothing to say to you. You've barely begun to story and already he is here? You know who is missing mundane. You know this is why you can not hear a word from him, he has none to say. He has discovered he is trapped here for as long as you care to keep him or until he finds a way to make you stop.

Do not think this will be an easy task, keeping him contained and from where he is needed. A game? You think you can finish the story and take him to some game to toy with you as you please?

To that he will speak.]

I will not go.

porcelain_perfection

Well now, it seems you've become quite clever, and a more then a bit morbid, with my story since we've last talked. I mean really, doing surgery on myself to replace my own arm? This all is quite crazy even by my standards.

That aside, it seems not much has changed in the transition from science fiction to fantasy. I am still a doll of grace and talent. I imagine that is all that matters in the end.

shilowallace

Maybe...maybe it is okay to travel alone. Maybe it's just...time and maybe that's what I was supposed to learn when someone bailed out and left me to fend for myself at the Opera.

Whether he did it for me or not, it shouldn't matter anymore.

I should, just...be brave. And travel alone. I know there's only so many ways to say this and so many times we can, but...let's try to stop being afraid, okay?

averygoodbroker

You're stepping away from your typical character type in attempting to persuade me. While I commend your dedication to my 'canon' and the fight against the Reapers, unless you are willing to take action or broaden the network I must admit to finding this attempt to control me very uncomfortable. There are many things that need to be done that you do not seem to be willing to take care of.

Unfortunately as it stands all I can do is attempt to dissuade you from this pursuit. If you truly are serious however, consider all of the options and perhaps touch base with the beginning as well. Knowing the ending to it all does no good if you are forgetting the origins.

ijustgotmyperiod

You really sure about this? I mean you did read the manga and all, you know I still have a job to do.

....

What do you mean "it doesn't look like I'm doing anything"!? Tch...honestly you're as bad as Yamabuki...how many times must I say that Ichiko is just too hard to beat? So just drop it already.

Ahh, being trapped in here is going to be such a pain. I guess I should be happy that you're not sending me anywhere, though.

cyborg_grrl

So its done, huh? Leaving me again?

Can't say I'm surprised. Though I'd be lying if I said I won't miss that place. Wouldn't mind going back, even if it was kind of lonely at times.

So where to next? You shouldn't be so sad - every ending means a new beginning. I'll still be here, if you need me.

whatbedsidemanners

I admire your eagerness Mundane, but there's a time and a place for that. What use will you put me to there anyway? I don't have time to socialize.

But I suppose that if there are a bunch of bots gathered in one place, some idiot is going to get themselves blown up. It's my duty as a medic to weld said idiots back together, though I hope it doesn't happen to often.

I think that might be my silly optimism speaking.

[Someone doesn't have a favourable view on you fighting types...]

My bedside manners are fine, so stop remarking on it Mundane.

gloryisbullshit

[Is there ground? He'll just lie on the ground.] Are you fucking kidding me? What are you doing? What are you doing to me? Like I'm not fucking fading out everywhere else, you gotta fuckin emotionally subsidize that tincan carbon copy, like you need some shiny new gun to play with? Fuck you, fuck you, just do what you want. Like you won't anyway. Fuck you, I'll just marry rich and pop out a couple kids, I don't need you for my personal fucking validation.

psycho_logist

Being chased by a werewolf through a mental hospital is not, in fact, my idea of a good time. Perhaps I do have some very slight impulse control problems. I can admit that now. I'll learn from this experience, assuming I survive. I think the major lesson here is "actually werewolves do exist, and they get angry even if they willingly signed forms agreeing to undergo experimental drug testing."

What is science, if not learning something new every day?

tailmon_pi

You had a nice thing going on. What threw you off?

A little bad PR is nothing...OK so it's alot of bad PR probably. What you need is to get a better lay of the land. Put on your detective fedora and see what you can see. Knowledge is power after all.

Are you a Mon or a mouse?

rather_be_surfing

Glad you got the new job; I'm proud of you for following it through. Yeah, it'll be a hell of a change, but in the long run, better for you and for getting out of all that shit you were dealing with. You might even get interested into getting back into your creative stuff again.

...That's not an invite to throw me back into a game.

burdenofrage

Here or there, it doesn't matter where I am because regardless of location, you still hold me prisoner. However, I've learned it doesn't matter how many times I tell you that I've got better things to do than be your pawn in that foolish game, since you're more interested in your own entertainment than anything else.

At least show some common sense and get me a Red Lantern Battery. As much as I loathe The Oath, being almost completely powerless during the Dark Aeon's invasion was embarrassing and made me into little more than a target at times. I may not be afraid to die, but there's nothing worse than a death that serves no purpose. Give me something to fight with so I can make myself useful the next time the city falls under siege!

paidinbeer

...I thought we were done here.

He'll be happier without me. He's not happy now but he will be...probably. I'd just get in the way.

He doesn't need me and neither do you.

Please go away.

pinker

Hi, there! Wow, this is so exciting — we're totally going to have the best time ever, you'll see! I know we're a great match because our auras are in sync! Pink never fails to compliment itself and the good luck's only just beginning! Speaking of, um. What with the new show and all, aren't there any more cute boys around? Sokka's sweet, but I would never dream of coming between him and Suki. They are so keepers!

There has got to be one guy out there who isn't a complete weirdo. Who's this Bolin you find so funny? Oh, and what's probending?

Oops, heh. I guess I need to calm down a little.

osbastard

You can't really mean that, can you? Why would try to find a place for me with my mother? I -- how -- what would I say to her? How would I act? What would I wear? I've never met my mother. I don't know the first thing about having one. Sure, she'll be all over, and about half my age.

[ Gabe, you're like ten. Sort of. ]

What if she doesn't-- and I--

What about my sister? Why don't you try and find her, instead? At least I know how to live with her.

futureprofessor

Aaaah, Miss Mun, you're worrying too much about my new icons! You can't update me just yet, and those you've found so far are pretty nice, so relax! Celebrate with me that we've found Cheren, won't you~?

And don't forget about this "4th Wall" thing on the game! I can't wait to meet lots of new people! I'll show them around the Gym and maybe I can get a battle or two. Think I can update a couple of Pokédex too, mmh?

warlord_of_aurora

Mun,

I'm happy that you brought me out and all, but what are you planning to do?

...

You don't know yet? Mun, you really need to stop doing this.

[Warlord is not amused.]

spiritblocked

You know what sucks, Mun? You suck. You, and these wings. I can't even fly in them! They're useless. And stupid.

And guess what? I'm the only Avatar [between Aang and Roku] that can't airbend. Go figure. I can't wait to see what you do to me next.

character_box

No, look, seriously, I did the math, I'm good at math, you know that. The probability is so small, tiny, downright infinitesimal- I won't even bore you with the numbers, they're that insignificant, lots of repeating decimals- that this will result in catastrophic failure.

Just give me the journal, make the icons, especially that 'deal with it.gif' one, you know the one, from the Senate hearing, I'm gonna need it. Then point me at the Valkyries. Find out if I can keep JARVIS, he's sort of helpful with running the suit. I could make do but I'd rather not have to. So if that's a no you'll need to find me one. I know it can be done, I've seen JARVISes... JARVIi? Just what is the plural of JARVIS, anyway? The point is, they are a thing that is real.

I'm going to go stir crazy in here. Nobody wants that.

bindsthedead

'Completely erasing someone's memory with Belgaer' is not what I thought you meant when you said you wanted to have me use the bells!

He will- he will get his memory back, won't he?

littlecrowgirl

Whoa mun! Let's back the Badgermobile up!

I'm going to another game? And this one's full of robots?

That...sounds...SO COOL! I can't wait! They better watch out though, or I'll steal their hearts!

Do robots even have hearts?

edosianorchids

Yes, I am aware that this is a community to have a word with your 'mun'. However, I have no such interest, so would please leave me alone and allow me to finish my letter? Because the Doctor is someone I would like to get in touch with and your whining about how we will never find him is neither wanted nor helpful, my dear.

So.

My dear Doctor,

I hope my words will find you well and that life is treating you kindly. I have thought of you often since my mun has picked me up and I hope that your life, the existence in the (limited) headspace of a mun, is less depressing for you than it is for me. It's almost ironic that after spending years exiled on your lovely station, it is life and not the Cardassian Government that has found a way to maximize my discomfort.

So please forgive my tardiness, that I didn't contact you any sooner. Believe me when I say that it was for a lack of possibilities and not a lack of interest. I do miss our meetings for lunch (more than I miss the spicy pudding) and I would be delighted if we could meet some time in the near future.

Nothing would please me more.

Garak

squeak_squeaker

Mun, uh... what are zippers? And shoelaces? And buttons?

I kinda like buttons, they got something lovable about them like little gumdrops that you can't eat for on your clothes, but shoelaces look like they're awfully complicated!

You don't suppose I can just keep wearing my own stuff? I know most people I meet here are modern people, but most of them are also kinda skinny and a lot paler than me and... and isn't it a good thing to be yourself, mun? That's what the Junior Chipmunks taught me, growing up... yeah. [Slow blink.]

I bet those guys that make fun of my purple man skirt are just jealous they can't pull it off! Maybe I should just sew some buttons on it, so everyone's going to think it's new? [Kronk thought it was real smart of him to think of that. He was bound to fool EVERYONE with his buttons!]

ofdiscord

Keep your head on dear, you'll be needing it to write anything worthy of my action.

I know you're practically bouncing off the walls, but really. Relax. And in due time, everything will fall apart on it's own.

raceme

Dear Miss Mundane

Of course I'm happy about the possibility of more Autobots joining our forces and yes yes I know that some cons might join as well but let's not dwell on the bad things for now but Can we focus on the real issue at hand?

You are going to get me handcuffed to a De-cep-ti-con with claws longer than my helmet during a monster invasion! I HOPE you quickly realize the consequences of this possible mess and take action to arrange it.

MORETOTHEPOINT....I take no responsibility for what may happen to him.

thegreatergood

So you have finally caved in and put in a 'reserve' at that place, did you?

Do you know what you are doing, mun?

elvenking

Your reservations against finding a place for me are noted. I am willing to wait, but you grow restless. When you are restless, young mistress, all your muses become impatient, or at least the mortal ones. Consider this.

You hestitate to let me out because there are so few "canonmates" available that I would know mutually, due to your stubborn insistence that I come from not a moment after the end of Bilbo Baggins' notable adventures. It will be a year and a half till the second film is released, but only a few months till the first. By then, surely there will be a flood of such. [Mostly, no doubt, dwarves he doesn't remember the names of, but still.]

However, there is likely to also be a flood of Elvenkings appearing then. If I am to suffer the fate of Rob Anybody Feegle, who you have said you are going to bring somewhere for nearly a year now and never have, perhaps you should at least choose to play me at a time when I am not already everywhere at once. Moreover, it is entirely possible that to place me in a game with Thorin Oakenshield would be unwise. [Spoken as a true deadpan this-Elf-seen-it-all understatement.] Waiting for such a thing would be folly.

Now, what else is there?

Ah yes, the "played by." In that, I cannot help you, nor can all the wisdom of the Eldar.

[Thranduil could sound sympathetic, but it would be a waste of effort.]

snarkyfemmebot

So it's a young Cybertron. Okay, that I can work with after getting used to it. Even the whole First Forged being there and interacting with us can possibly not cause too much of an internal crash. Even the different universes mingling on one planet I can handle, even if I'm going in blind and without the experience the last game you had me in to help out.

What I don't like is the fact Raf is already there and Miko is supposedly on the same queue as I am since you can't turn that application in. Do you know how much trouble and chaos this could bring about? You see what they get up to back home, and that's with the entire team there.

And we're not going to discuss what would happen if Miko and Wheeljack were to get ideas.

abirdnotaman

Hi, I believe the word you're all looking for is "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Actually, this is all just a bad dream. You're at home, in bed, heavily sedated, resting comfortably, dying from the carcinogens you personally spewed from a lifetime of musing. Tragic irony or poetic justice? You tell me.

Odd as it may seem Mundane, We're very much alike. We're both monsters, only you're kind are well-respective ones and I am to date not...

What do I want, you ask? Why just to get a little acceptance and some respect. And maybe to share some of my pain with others...

Just look at all the pretty people with happy lives here... I wonder how they would feel if their parents had abandoned them as infants in the sewers to die because of how they look...

intoyourheart

Why would you want to put Libertà and Nova on a ship together? They haven't done anything bad, so why send them away?

chittybang

I'm really happy with the direction things are going in, now. Things are still crazy since this is Adstring, but I feel like I can relax a little more. I guess I should be thanking you for that.

On the other hand, what's this I hear about you considering a canon update? I can handle the Mako situation, but I'd rather not feel worse about where I stand with my father if I don't have to.

elfling_prince

You know, it isn't very nice of you to take me away from Mirkwood. Especially since I haven't got permission from my ada to be here. And since you didn't get permission, it means you kidnapped me.

And that isn't very clever at all, kidnapping a prince. Especially since we have the best archers in all of Arda. You ought to send me home now, or you may be sorry.

dispassions

Why do you even want to do this? Maybe my life was fine without having to meet all of these people from the future.

tyingshoes

Now what?

pinkaura

Ooh, Mun? A paid account? I really must be your favourite since you never bought the others one of these. I'll be able to express myself much better now which is exactly a girl needs to do. After all girls are... uh... complex? Complicated? ...Don't they mean the exact same thing?

Back at the city, don't you think I'm getting a teensy tiny bit busy? I have so much to be doing. If you plan any more things for me I'll be so busy I totally won't get any sleep. To have a healthy aura as well as really, really great skin I need to sleep!

Uhm... I think that's all.

Ooh, I just remembered mun!

I know you're going on hiatus in a few weeks but you should totally change your plans for me. I'll be fine staying with Mai and Zuko! Your plans are so not fun.

deadelfwalking

So you want me to fight for my life, huh?

Well. It's a little late for that.

governorkang

I suppose it's some small comfort I'm being allowed to keep my normal senses. I don't know how humans can stand it. I would rather you'd chosen that my default form wasn't human, though.

And that you weren't tossing me somewhere with the damn bronze again.

justabadseed

Oh I have the sweetest mun in the whole world. The sweetest.

I told you that the book had a happier ending then that silly old movie. That movie ending didn't even make any sense. This way does and it's better. Now mommy's gone and daddy doesn't know anything. And he won't find out because mommy burned all her letters.

Mommy was silly to do that. But she was always silly. I liked her better that way. She got serious near the end and I started to think she might be getting smarter.

But I guess I was wrong.

Besides, she would have shot me if she was smart. Mommy was too emotional.

But now we don't have to think about mommy anymore.

I'm going home to practice my piano mun. Daddy might get worried if I'm away too long.

-Rhoda Penmark

getoffme

Don't you think you should wait? I don't see why you're insisting on finding one of those games to send me to. I'm fine with the way things are and it's not that I need to go to a game. Besides, I already put with those memes.

Just give it a rest already.

altitude

I've never liked you writing my background out. ... I just don't like thinking that people are reading it all.

Guess I can say thanks for the later canon point. It's nice having some healing time. Changing my "voice" was a nice touch, by the way. I felt like a pillock with the last one.

Now can you stop bothering us and let us relax until the samples?

vividimagination

One day you wake up and find yourself trapped in a room with padded walls and a lime green floor. There are no noises in heaven. Everything's got its volume turned down, copying the blissful post-fight state you are used to.

Fake.

One day you wake up and you realize that what you thought was heaven is nothing but another station on life's subway. Hitting bottom? It is impossible in a room so soft that you could drop a baby and it would spring right back at you like a basketball. Impossible in a place where the angels wear rubber-sole shoes and bring you meds that keep you so high you think you're flying.

You wake up and suddenly your life is all you ever wanted, all you never wanted.

Tyler is still gone.

You can't celebrate something like that, because there is this part of you that will always miss him, that wants to find him. Fuck the meds, fuck the padded walls and the lime green floor, and fuck the new voice inside my head. I don't want you, Mun - you are no better than Marla. If Marla was a tumor, you are blood poisoning, a toxic flowing in my veins and setting every nerve cell on fire. I want to puke, I want to clean myself, I want to hit bottom.

I want Tyler.

solomonjihad

But miss...how can I help save the world if I'm here? Lilith...she will miss me terribly...

I...I suppose Tsukino-san might too but...look, as long as I'm here, let's not talk about any of that, ok?

bowiejokehere

H-hey! Hey you! Yeah, you!

What do you mean you're still thinking about it? I don't want to go on a spaceship or a satellite or whatever it is! The Superior... well, he's got other ideas and I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve mad scientists or really bad movies...

C'moooon. Do you even know anyone there?

...

They don't count!

( here's some of that blasted homestuck-style text )

aimless_arrow

Look munnie of mine, I really don't know what to say. Sorry? I mean it isn't my fault you can't focus on your homework. I mean, the short story you gotta write sounds cool but that philosophy essay sounds really boring. I don't blame your brain for running away. Even if it's a paper on the philosophy of love.

I know you're a little bummed out but look at it this way; at least you got me. Mr. Handsome, funny, and devilishly cleaver Odd Della Robbia. What more could you ask for? Easy! The entire ensemble! I mean a game sounds great but seeing my friends sounds just a bit better. Heck, I'd go so far as to say I'd like to see Sissi or Jim even! I'm bored here mun! Find me some friends!

Then you can get to working on your apps for me once you finish rewatching everything. Simple, right? Not too much to ask for. So get right on it. Maybe watching some more will get that brain of yours working again. That or sugar. Sugar usually works in my case.

therosensaint

At least I'm back in action now. Though I disagree with his mun's choices. I'm surprised you actually forgot the bite mark on my neck!

gerberas

You have no self-control at all, do you.

That makes it - what? Three, four muses now?

cidsgirl

Mun, you there? 'Course ya are.

Listen, I'm getting bored over here. Not to mention lonely, so can you find Yunie and Paine for me? I'm seriously okay with Brother at this point.

[sighhh]

See, I thought it was all "oh so you do the dirty work and I play in games; I think I can handle that!" But nope! Nothing's happening!

walkedin

[Face wrinkled up and that nasally voice:] Are you sure this is a good idea? Just because my canon ended doesn't mean I don't still have a show to write. I can't write the show from Your Head, Population: Me and some other people.

You're a writer, so I know you can understand this, but you can't put me somewhere where I can't be writing. I'll go insane and then you'll have a crazy person in your head and I don't think that benefits anyone.

I think we understand each other. [He turns back to a keyboard and possibly can be heard muttering "I'm eating it."]

bewareofdog

Didn't take long for you to get yer act together.

But this alternate universe... Kiryu-chan isn't be there, eh?

And now I won't even know 'im?

This is sounding less and less fun...

I suppose this what that tranny-elf was talkin' about, hm?

rememberme

I know why you're doing this. Why you're really doing this, but I'd like to address that later. And while I can't say I approve of your methods of finding balance, that isn't what I want to talk to you about today.

I'd like to direct your attention to my current physical state; the one you intend for my arrival (if we're accepted).

Now I want you to ask yourself something: Is this honestly, completely necessary?

You are aware I'm going to be at a rather ... pronounced disadvantage, but have you taken into consideration the long lasting effects of your decision?

That's something I'd like you to think about.

polar

Y'know, things aren't too shabby so far. Sure, being stuck in the clinic for two days with limited food choices was a pain, but I learned how to play FlavioCycle. That was neat. Despite the melted controllers.

[It's MarioKart, and you still suck at driving.]

But hey! You are going to keep having me spar with Katara, right? I haven't had that much fun in a long time. [Meaning two weeks.] I guess she's always been amazing at waterbending. Good to know I really did learn from the best!

Man, I wanna see Tenzin meet her like this. He'd blow a gasket. [Snerk.]

milanoeisendame

I see your latest interests. But why bother making me come out when you're going to ignore me? You will continue to sit on your buttom and be lazy. Nothing will change.

before_kang

This is a bad idea.

I'm sure of it.

The point you're taking me from is one I doubt any of the others will be from. They're going to react badly to me. But you're just going to enjoy my confusion and angst, aren't you?

Can you at least get some new icons for me? The ones you got from that other mun are nice but I did have more appearances even if you're not taking me from that point. I didn't change my uniform or anything like that.

irohdisboat

Yes, it may have been sacrilege.

I still regret nothing. Not even my hangover. My command crew and Lady Asami needed it.

stone_woman

It does makes me happy to see you are finally writing things down properly. I feel that you are now finally taking me seriously. If that is the case... Then I guess I will not mind giving you this one chance.

I just hope to the gods, that you will not make me regret this.

hellnocantpicklocks

Well... "Mun", right?

...Seriously, what's so funny about that?

thefuturist

I know you were putting it off because of the whole getting canceled thing, but it feels good, doesn't it? The Avengers saved the world at least three dozen times, and Hawkeye only complained for ninety five percent of it. I think that's a record.

Besides, the writers didn't have a chance to make a civil war between the heroes before it got canceled, so there's a plus. And I don't have to deal with Hill breathing down my throat to register before saving people, so double plus! I'm liking this more and more the more we talk about it.

So. Where am I headed? I am heading somewhere, right? ...No? Why not? Come on, don't give me that, you have plenty of time for me. ...Seriously? Man, you are such a downer.

godsavesarcasm

What do you want? I'm not fit enough to suffer more of your blasted company right now. Unless you brought something to drink.

What more do you want from me?

( England being kind of drunk and pissy after a break up. )

decodes

This place you're considering...well, considering isn't the right word. Set upon, I suppose would be better...anyway!

Truth be told, messere, I'm quite excited! The technologies of future times alone would be enough to gain my interest, to say nothing of la comunità itself. It all seems so fascinating! It will hardly disrupt my work, either--unlike other options. If anything, it will further it, provide inspiration... I like it!

[a pause.]

... Ezio Auditore will be there? Then all the more reason to go! He seemed a good sort. I'd quite like to speak with him again.

Va bene. Andiamo!

[Leonardo is jazzed as hell for this.]

informs

At it again, are we? This isn't very fun for either of us if we both know how poorly you are at finding a place for me to stay. Finding anyone to toy with would be spectacular, but you, dear mundane, are rather inept in that regard as well. I'm going to find someone else to entertain me if you can't.

notthatfenrir

I know your migraines've been really bad this month, but can't you at least try to push through 'em and work on my app? Oops, I keep forgetting that you're still not sure if you want to join a game or not. C'mon, it'll be fun! Besides, you owe it to me for even considering asking your Darker Half if she'd want to play Celia someplace. It's bad enough you had to fill in the gaps after I mentioned her, I don't need her following me around out here.

lastmanstanding

...You know you go over this time and time in your head and on the one hand you say "It's not transfer." and on the other you say "...It's not it's really just you you stupid bastard."

....This is what comes, of rehabilitation of somebody. Thoughts and feelings that you don't expect. Why won't you give this up? Transfer.

Just admit it and go out and get yourself...whatever you need to fix it okay?

...and leave me out of it.

Or better yet take me someplace where I can be myself again.

knuckledusters

All that excitement and now...just look at you squirm.

But when you're done squirming, you can upload me more icons. Sixty? You underestimate all the expressions I'm going to need for all the trouble I'm going to get into.

For one thing, I'm wearing clothes in all of these.

remarkableoaf

I'm glad you're here, mun. I had a list of ideas for things I can do once I get in that game that you're writing that app for. I know you always have trouble with these kinds of things, and since you just picked me up, I figured you could use the help.

First of all, I think I should open a business eventually. I know we've already talked about this, but I've really thought this through, and I think that "Omashu Fried Chicken" would be a big hit. Now, I know what you're thinking, but trust me on this one.

Think about it. It practically sells itself. I mean, I even made a logo and everything!

I think it really gets the point across. I hope you like it, mun. I spent, like, ten whole minutes on it.

I mean, you can do that in this "Zodion" place, right? I haven't really read up on what kind of game it is. I guess I should do that soon, shouldn't I...

connors

You'll forgive me, I'm sure, if I confess that I'd rather not play ball. [ And yes, he knows — it's a bad joke, though no less pertinent. ]

Not that languishing is ideal, either, but the prospects all seem rather bleak, considering that your go-to option is a tin can in space. That said, I do admit to an interest in—

—never mind. The matter is best left alone, I think.

I think we have issues.
