Two words. Canon. Review.

Oh wait, got a few more for you.

Stop yanking my chain.

I don't want to go there!!!!

I thought being on that island where they change who you are is bad but a place where I have to do...THAT?!

No! I've had enough! Three games is enough so please just delete that thing!

thatsthejob

I know you are watching this NYC 22 show, but stop the jokes about Delahoy and Brown. Yeah I know and I get it. The actors on the same show. Stop with the 'when's Walsh and the rest going to show up?'

We aren't, and they aren't Delahoy and Brown, okay?

Good.

wheresperry

There are a number of things wrong with this, none of which I should actually have to address here--but I'm going to anyway because you can't seem to get it through your thick skull that no, being compared to a platypus is not funny, and no, I do not want to go to a place that looks like it got up on the wrong side of the bed every. single. day of it's pathetic, Cthulhu infested life. Oh, and while I'm on the subject----no, I do not want to play daddy doctor to a bunch of medically inept children. Who, might I add, probably haven't seen the cover of an actual medical textbook in their lives.

Do you see, what I'm doing here? Where the problem here lies? No?

---Oh, come on you evil, evil woman. I know you can find a heart somewhere--and when you do please, for the love of god, pretend its yours so you can see the light and leave me alone.

whatisreality

So. You need to do more research. A lot more research. You're a lawyer, not a professor of neuroscience. Also, you need to learn more about my condition.

You like me? Then write me correctly. Do it right or leave me alone.

here_take_this

Mun!

You're going to be really mean to Leon aren't you? I don't like it. He's nice to me and I don't want to hurt him.

Though... I do want to see him again, and Claire. And Daddy'll be there right? He'll make me all better so that's a good thing.

superwoman

Oh no, mun. No. I don't think so.

I am not staying cooped up in your head with those aliens.

You created me. Now find me a home, or I'll do to you what I did to Agent Liberty.

[beat]

No, really. I'm being serious.

Oh. And while we're setting things straight? I'm not looking for redemption, so don't try to nudge me in that direction. I'm in the right when it comes to...them. Even if I do share some things with them now.

transformare

Whatdoya mean munnie mun mun?!

I have a home, it's in your head~! Sure it's not as spiffy as Equestria or Cybertron but it'll do. So now that I'm here whatcha gonna do with me? Ooo I know, we can have a multiverse party!

We can invite all the different aliens in the multiverse and have all kinds of different games and treats, there can be cupcakes and energon cubes, eeeee it'll be a blast!

[Behold Maximal Pinkie.]

skeptismo

I'm not sure there's any point to this besides the brilliant acceptance of new technology as a means of self expression, and unfortunately I don't think it's likely you'll be having anyone to express my self with, so if you don't mind I've got alerts to watch and a post to write for a nonfiction blog that people actually read. At least, I think people read it. I hope they do, because that's what I'm paid for, and if nobody's reading the blog, then there will be no blog and therefore no blogger, and I'll need to find a new job. So make that alerts to watch, a blog post to write, and a resume to update in case of emergency.

revolter

Helping Asgard become colorful sounds like an adventure, miss mundane. I read a book last year about Norse mythology in the library. It doesn't sound like the Asgard described there but it still sounds nice.

Do you truly think I could go without missing school??

freelicks

You know, one of these days you're going to get bored of putting me in places where people constantly think I'm Captain America.

For some reason, I don't think it's going to be anytime soon. Can you buy me a sandwich in the meantime? Turkey and cheddar, hold the mayo. Thanks a bunch, sweetheart.

allydarling

Just because I don't have a job right now doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want with me!

I have a life! I have to help Daisy. And...find a date. To her wedding.

Whatever. It's important, okay!

adoptalizard

I get that you want to have your cute little pretendy fun times, really, it's adorable. Precious, even. I think I feel a tear coming on. Along with the urge to projectile vomit or seek therapy to convince myself I was never involved in something so pathetic. But I actually, believe it or not, have better things to do with my time than sit around with some loser playing sad little text games on the internet.

Like watching paint dry. Or having a root canal. The list of Things I Would Rather Be Wasting The Time You Can't Afford goes on and on.

kindofalostcause

[Well, firstly; Marcia points at the username.] You don't have a lot of faith in me, do you? You seem to be the one who is lost in this cause--but that's not the point, is it?

Impatience. [She pauses when she says that word, before going into a bit of a smile.] You have a lot of it, don't you? You really need to get some more self control, lady. Even if you are sort of making me for a game--worked for the other three you've kept at games for a while, so I don't know if I can make my opinion on that alone. The thing is, I know a little about you already--you like to make most of your muses miserable, and make a lot of 'em want to kick you in the face if it were possible. Really isn't, but I can tell that's a path you're considering with me; kind of like Arsenic, right?

Well, I'll go along with it. [The smile turns bigger--only a bit, though.] You have to follow what I say though, okay? Remember three words for me, then.

Completion. I'd like you to wait until Clair is down before you put me anywhere, but I know that won't be possible. I'll bargain with you there; take me from after I defeat Morty. I don't want to go any less--I want to make sure I have experiences under my belt.

Composure. You can't do a thing when you're nervous, so try to get yourself together. It won't do either of us good, you know? It'll just make things harder, and you shouldn't do that to yourself.

...Sleep. Lady, it's 4 am. Go to bed already! You're starting to ramble, and that's not good for anyone.

shinkei_dokusei

I am not Leatherface. I won't have my masterpieces ruined by a crude blade; therefore cleaver it is.

...And I am glad you remembered that it was cleaver and not carving knife. The latter would give the impression that I have cannibalistic tendencies, which I do not.

[ But of course, he's had some time to think about this, which is when he remembers something very, very important.

No. Sasori is not pleased. Sasori is not at all pleased. ]

Mundane. How do you expect me to saw off my wood?!

[ WELP ]

updownunderhill

Hey now, hoy now, my lass, what be you a-thinking of? Long ago old Tom gave up his wandering ways; he has his own land now, and does not leave its borders. Any games he plays are of his own making! You have your own songs to sing, in your own fair voice, and Tom has his! I have my house down under hill, and my pretty lady to attend to; naught more than that do I need.

But hey dol! merry dol! There's no need for long faces. If it's a word from old Tom Bombadil you're wanting, then you shall have it-- but only for the moment. I'll not keep my River-daughter waiting, not even for you, my friend.

warlord_of_aurora

Of all the games you had to pick it had to be a horror game, Mun. Honestly, I wouldn't have mind going to that place where your other two muses are.

...

Fine. I still say there are better places...

hasntmadelunchyet

Just because you're human doesn't mean I have to cooperate. You're barking up the wrong tree if you're expecting that.

sleeplessgenius

After some consideration, I think my handle is accurate. Though, I have to wonder if you even have an inkling what to do with me.

Oh! There's a tag. I guess at least I'm not alone.

Maybe I can have Tony here?

trickshot

I thought we'd been over this.

Your ideas? They suck. Always, as a rule, and probably forever. Giving me an option between two or three bad ideas doesn't make them any better. I'd like to go back to the crappy City, now, and forget you mentioned any of them.

For the record? You're the only one with a freakish fascination with the horrible things that happen to me.

itsnotmybirthday

You want to "try [me] out" again? Don't you remember what happened the last time? You don't even know where you want to put me!

...Fine, do whatever you want. But don't come crying to me if you get writer's block and idle out.

faeth

-- well, see. I tried to get Bruce Lee's autograph on your black belt for you, but he's been so busy lately. Apparently I hear he's graduated! I don't think he's even seated, though. What a waste!

And then I tried to figure out what else I could get you. I thought about buying a boxing rink, but when I tried to calculate the insurance for it, the company threw a fit after I spent an hour asking them about their UMA insurance policy. (The APR was absolutely preposterous, too! And no added long distance call packages either, so you can't even contact your agent back home.)

And then I got to thinking... Well, we never really got the chance to since your hair wasn't quite long enough. And since I'm here, and Mun gave the a-okay... Tatsuki-chan, it's the perfect length for it, don't you think...!

[ AND SUDDENLY!! holy shinigami, it's like pretty pretty princess in here and you're wading ankle deep in hair accessories.

and okay, maybe a little sorry. ]

... But I guess this means we don't have to stop at your hair though...

latkje

I knew it! My charm was too much for you. You just can't keep away, can you?

[A pause.]

That's alright. I know the feeling.

captainbadass

Upset? Me? Why would I be upset?

Seems to me a bar's as good a place as any to make important decisions about whose life you're gonna jerk around for the foreseeable future.

[There may be just a little sarcasm here. Pretty pronounced, but with a smooth finish. Like the stuff responsible for bringing his voice back.]

Terrible decision-making skills aside though, at least you managed to come up with a good name. And look at that, spelled right and everything. I'd buy you another to congratulate ya, but I'm not in any hurry to see who that makes you pick up.

alkahestic

Miss Mun... you're just as bad as Brother. Eheh, I mean—! I'm sure you'll be fine! It's only been a few days, after all. Please be a bit more patient?

Mm, but I'm looking forward to meeting Brother's friends too. It'll be like the journeys Brother and I went on but different! Many new memories to make.

I just hope they'll let me keep the coat, eheh...

perfavore

Amica, you are positive this is a good idea? A world full of 'Cons is not what I would consider an enjoyable experience.

I have heard that there are two from my own world. I hope they are prepared to face the worst, because I will not allow them to live.

Luck? That will not be necessary.

arcofiron

Surprised? That makes both of us

Mun seems to have brought me here, with the words 'Please play nicely with the other children'. How rude.
I always play nice. Unless they annoy me, then I do accordingly back.

[Setting down an empty glass]

Since none of my so called 'carers' are around, why don't we have a little fun?

rentingsailboats

You and I both know you're never gonna find a place for me. C'mon, just forget it.

scaveges

So.

Uhh. Yeah. Hi.

To be honest? This is ten times better than the Walkers. Then again, anything is better than the Walkers. It doesn't take much I guess.

I mean I'm kind ticked that you didn't tell me about this before? I'm not going to lie, that was pretty friggin rude actually. At least this place has a civilization. No pizza or fast food or anything like that, but I think I can deal. And I'm not worried about the other stuff. The, uhh, obvious stuff. Not that I'm secretly freaking out. Or anything. I mean who would worry about that?

Alright, this is good. No really. I'm serious, like, I know that the others need me but I'm sure that they would want me to embrace this chance. It's better than not getting a chance at all, and you said that things will be fine until I get back. I made a promise you know?

burningbrightly

Dear Mun,
You do know that wanting to play me is hopeless and stupid? And even if you some how manage to find a place that will take me, you do realize that I'll never have any castmates? You're better off apping that OC you were thinking about and leaving me alone.
But you aren't going to listen to me anyway, are you? Just great.

Current Mood: annoyed

ijustshootthings

Well it's a damn sight better then being cramped up there and nowhere to go. Still don't think this is a good idea. The fleet is goin' to be a marine short and considering where they like to send me that's going to be a hard up on whoever has to take my place.

If you're this stubborn though, if we do go somewhere I refuse to be sitting on my hands and being like an engineer without an omni-tool.

stacksthedeck

[She lets out an audible sigh.]

You're actually going through with this aren't you? Talking about being married to other people and actually going through with it are two entirely different things. I'm perfectly happy with Will and Henry and I'd prefer for it to stay that way.

And this memory loss place your looking at is no better. The slice of life at that other game is actually looking much more appealing than the apocalypse.

sharpe

Been six months, eh, lass? Six months and you ain't done a thing. I've got a war ta go back ta, lass, and a wife. [ The briefest scowl at that. ]

So you either make up yer mind 'bout things and send me somewhere that I can use me gun, o'else ya let me go back ta Spain. I ain't done killin' Frogs yet.

cardinalvirtue

Hey, uhm. Look. I'm kind of busy. You're kind of busy, actually, now that I think about it. Don't think there's much time for anywhere that'll have me.

And for the record--an average female OC with blonde hair is kind of cliche, isn't it? I mean, I'm not complaining, I feel pretty and all that, but don't you think I'm going to wind up blending in with the wallpaper?

for_realsies

Mundane.

Can I go to a game with waterfalls that flow up? With beaches covered in snow? With cotton candy everywhere!?

I mean there are so many worlds and places out there? You can find me one like that right!?

...I can bring all my clothes right? Or maybe it would be better to arrive naked and find new clothes. I'm not sure which is more fun...

merchantofdeath

Let's go over a few things before you sit down and start gushing about me for ten pages straight in the hopes that anyone but you actually cares.

I'm never wrong. Where I'm from, at least. But where I'm going, I have to be wrong. But, see, even thinking like that? That's not the issue. The issue isn't that I'm from 1998 and no one had any conclusive results that cigarette smoking linked in any way to lung cancer—the issue is that, in regards to debate, I'm never wrong. Abe Lincoln never told a lie, and I'm never wrong. Can you do that? Can you be wrong without being wrong? Sure sounds like a paradox to me, don't know if you can handle that level.

Also, my Kryptonite—since we're talking about superheroes—is nicotine. One of the easiest things you can find, I can't handle it. That seems like a pretty big damn weakness to me. Oh, if you want to make Superman feel ill, you have to travel across five galaxies, grab a chunk of rock, zoom back, and get close. Me? You'll have to keep me two hundred feet away from bars. I don't know about you, but when a doctor tells you that smoking saved your life but, hey, one more cigarette and you're back to a coma you can never wake up from? Kind of want to listen to the doctor about that. Can't really imagine anyone who wants to be a turnip instead of watch their son grow up. Well, I can, but I'd really rather not think about anything that keeps me away from Joey, thanks.

Last thing for now: I used to (or still do, depending on where you "pull" me from) speak on behalf of an organization that killed nearly half a million American men and women of all ages a year. I can think of at least one state senator and a handful of radicals who'd call that being a big damn villain. I haven't forgot the whole being found in the crotch of Abe Lincoln, covered in nicotine patches and—oh, look. Circular argument, we're back to Abe Lincoln.

In summary: you can't handle me. I know you like me, which is fine, but you really are not up to my level.

Why don't you go play someone easy, like Sherlock Holmes.

[rude]

chesstotem

Two years ago tomorrow, you created that journal for me. I have to admit, it's impressive you've had me around this long. One of the longest, right?

Anyway, I know we've had our ups and downs. You've put me through a lot, and we lost some people along the way, and the sort of things that happen over two years. But I just wanted to say - it's been a good run, and hopefully, in another two years, I'll still be around, yeah? Guess we'll see.

lordofcranky

Bored?

You think I've been bored this time? Au contraire, mun-person-thing. I haven't had this much fun since I got to play with the whole League!

The Brat Wonder's deceiving everyone around him. Aqualoser's gone from leader to traitor. Kid Fake's given up. Blondie's putting all those villain genes to good use. The Baby's all grown up. This is all too good!

Don't even get me started on Miss Mindcrush over here. I think I'm in love.

inherimage

It's certainly been a while. I don't think we've met seriously since that little war-torn world way back.

No big goals this time around, hm? Well, as exciting as touch-and-go sounds, you know I don't freelance for just anyone.

...But I've seen what you have in mind. Not bad.

You know where to find me. ♥

happy_choo_choo_train

SAI MUN,

GIVE ME FOOD AND I WILL LIVE. GIVE ME WATER AND I WILL DIE.

WHAT AM I?

[mun: ...we're doing this? Really?]

thebloodyend

Really?

[Yes, yes really. Deal with it.]

Great. It's a bloody fishbowl under the sea. [Witness how enthusiastic he sounds. But this is not a discussion, mun will not change her mind if he complains.]

At least the Slayer isn't there. And I can eat all the locals I want. [And anyone else that catches his eye. That's his short list of positives. At least the mun is more excited than he is.]

You'd better not do anything stupid.

[Stupid like put him through pain and misery. Nope, sorry, no promises there.]

tamaranprincess

Glorious mundane, I am most honored that you wish to place me somewhere for your own amusement, but if you would allow me to speak my own mind for a moment I wish to request that you do not move me, for I would miss my friends terribly, and I really must insist I stay at Titans Tower and in Jump City on the planet Earth so that I may always be there to help them in the kicking of the butt.

No, I am certain I cannot leave them, and I do not wish to. I will only go where my friends are, mundane, surely you must understand this? And... I am sorry, but that place you wish to put me is too strange. Why would I wish to fake blood relation to people that I have not met? ...And.. why does that thought amuse you...?

definitelylawfulgood

My friend, I hold no contempt towards you for your actions here today.

While the stories I have heard regarding what happens to these...muses, as you call them...us, from the others have been nothing but negative, especially from the little grey one, I have faith in this endeavor.

It is not often I meet one unperturbed by my appearance enough that they would stick by me so closely. It is a promising experience regardless of what the future may hold in store for me.

So I will do as you say for as long as you feel the need to keep me around; it is the least I can do in exchange for another chance at life that you offer me here. My only objection would be to actions of the morally corrupt.

But I have hope that you are a better man than that.

consider8

I'm glad you have 8een taking the time to talk to some of your friends a8out this, they seem to have put your mind at ease. 8ut I can also still sense your hesitation in 8ringing me over there.

Still, you know a few people that go there, so that should 8e some relief, right?

Well, there's still time for you to think a8out it. So take your time. I know you'll make the right decision for 8oth of us.

diedthesage

This is even more boring than being dead. Can't you even keep up? I can't say I've got better things to do but all this in-and-out is starting to get on my nerves. Honestly, you're worse than him sometimes.

adequation

I can't say I approve of being dragged away from Republic City at such a critical time.

In fact, to say I disapprove is a rather tragic understatement.

But it will be interesting to see how the general public reacts to my message in an environment where most of them are from worlds without benders.

We'll see how this goes.

petaldancer

Isn't this wonderful, Miss Mun? I know you were a little skeptical about playing me again, but I'm quite glad that you are. I know you've missed me, and I've missed you as well.

Regardless of what your plans for me from this point onward are, I wanted you to know that. Thank you, for everything you've done thus far, and for everything that will be done in the future!

The Pokemon thank you, as well. Everyone is just as happy as I am to be here!

hiscameraalone

Oh, yeah, thanks. I'm so glad the musical portrait of a character who's a failure as a joke made you long for me again. So that's what we're gonna do, post Comic-Con? Really? To echo your own favorite sentiment, I don't even go here.

Great, and thanks for the reminder. I liked those pants, before the giant nacho cheese stain.

vampireamerican

What do you mean my feelings for Jason Stackhouse were obvious from the get-go? I think I was pretty darn good at keeping them to myself. You're just letting what you know color your perception of things.

Anyway, if you think you're going to stick me on that boat of the damned, think again, Missy. Only the good Lord is fit to judge me, and He sure ain't the Admiral. Why, He hasn't done the nautical theme since [Chuckles.] Noah's Ark. [Maybe. Mun doesn't know her Bible all that well.]

[BRAND NEW MUSE. Apologies for any voice fail; still getting used to him.]

Ah? There is no need to be nervous, I assure you! You should have more confidence in yourself. You're doing fine.

[Smile]

I hope you had a pleasant sleep. You were feeling a bit under the weather before, weren't you?

hemeleno

Yeah, I missed you too.

Are you having ice cream later? Can I have some too? The kind that isn't haupia flavored.

Then we'll color some more.

I kinda miss that city place too. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

Aliens isn't a good excuse, miss mun. Ice cream is though.

holdtheline

Mundane.

While I appreciate your interest in me and the value which you place upon my speeches, how often must I reiterate that if you cannot motivate yourself to do your laundry, I most certainly can't, either? It's not a matter of galactic, or even planetary safety. You're on your own here.

Now put me away before you hurt yourself.

magical_melonhead

Oh my sweet Mundane! You DO love me! I knew you cared I really did and I did not doubt you for a moment! It brings tears to these pretty eyes of mine!

forever_prince

...You are a moron, mun.

1_truth

No. I don't want her to be in danger. She can't come here.

Especially not if He shows up.

irreversibly_contaminated

This is not a plan, it's not even one of Crichton's plans. You are fully unprepared for this and you have no idea how any of it will turn out.

This is a human trait isn't it? Going into something with no preparation and no tactical direction. There is no way to know if they will take on any member of the crew or even if they do which one.

You can't expect humans to blindly follow orders. I've seen it too often, it is not in the nature of the species. They are, at best, unpredictable, at worst a catastrophe.

You would do better to not get your hopes up. You're putting all your legs in one basket.

[Uhh that's eggs Aeryn, you put eggs in baskets.]

Why would you do that? You can't hatch them or eat them in baskets. Your language is as frelled as the rest of you.

notthesharpest

It's uh...nice to meet you...Mun, was it? Weird name, if you ask me...

But I'm afraid I can't really stick around. See, I have some work I need to do and I have someone I have to keep an eye on. He'll get into some kinda trouble if I leave him alone too long.

[Awkward pause]

Besides, someone promised me beer and hot chicks, and so far, both are missing. What gives?

livinginbetween

Hey if you think you can handle it, that's your thing.

Just don't come crying to me later, alright? I've got some bigger fish to fry.

tocarry

--- Mr. Frodo, slow down, won't you?

M'not sure where --

[ Have a Sam. Have a Sam who is dreadfully lost. ]

O-oh.

theuniter

Well, here we are again, mun. Three months later. Talking about the same thing: throwing me into some game. I gotta give you credit though, I guess, at least you have a place in mind this time... and.. someone actually wants me there.

Don't get me wrong, it's not so bad taking a back seat to Claudia most of the time, but... A girl does like a little limelight now and again.

The place? It's, uh... It... looks.. interesting? ...I don't know what to tell you. There are worse places to go, I think. And... yeah, okay, I'll admit it, I am kind of excited. It's someplace... new. Almost like a fresh start. Now if only you could put your butt into gear and finish that application. Is there any chance of that happening soon? ..Or am I going to be here in another three months to talk to you about this? Again?

whyjeanluc

You know, I think you're more broken up over this than I ever was. And that's saying a lot honestly!

As for this 'shipping' business... well, I'm not that opposed, you know that much. But darling, you know as well as I do what came after our little marriage.

I'm afraid the ship you seem to want so badly sank quite a long time ago. Now come, do try to get over it. For goodness sake, at least get over it as much as I have!

willpunchfaces

Okay, listen you ... person. Lady. I'm glad you like me and all, but I have work to do in Ultra City. I can't leave my Scavengers and the other Avengers behind so you can take me to this Abooboo place or whatever it's called. I all ready have a city to explore -- one that has a lot of robots for me to shoot, too. Does this Aboxa City have that? No? Okay then.

Don't even bring up the whole dad and mom thing, either. Whoever those people are there? They aren't my parents, and if you bring it up again, I will punch you in the face.

statics

You know, me and you, we gotta have a little talk.

This whole "teasing me and acting like you're going to take me somewhere" is seriously not working for me anymore. You can only break a guy's heart so many times.

And I'm not going to be waiting by the phone, waiting for the call that'll never come. I'd like to think I'm pretty optimistic, but how about you just let it go and we'll call it a day. Or a lifetime.

This whole situation? So y2k.

rebelrose

.... You'd better run.. and fast. I will kill you when I get my hands on you. What the hell gives you the right to fuck with my life as if it's yours to control? Let me tell you something. I'll only say it once, so you better listen closely.

This is my life and I will do whatever the hell I want with it. My life is for me to decide, not you. Stay out of my life. You've done enough damage as it is.

Understood? If not, you'd better. What the fuck are you thinking? You sent me to Entranceway and fucked with me enough as it is. I finally get out of that damn place. I burned the movie already. Thing finally start to work out on my end and then you have to fuck with my life even further?

Just because Dimitri left for California to join the research group doesn't mean placing me in some horror place is going to make things any better. You have a sick sense of cheering me up. Don't even bother anymore. Serious. You've done enough to 'help'.

What's even better is that you're making things worse by making me remember all of the time at Entranceway and you're trying to send me to not one horror place but two. You're just fucking stupid.

Get out of my sight. Just be glad that you're not dead. yet.

-- Rose Hathaway

theprisoner

I guess riding in your mind's better than having you ride in mine. Had my fill of that little trip, say true.

But haven't we done this thing already? Played this game, been here before? Right, right, ka is a wheel and "all of this has happened before and all of this will happen again", but if you don't mind me saying -- and frankly I don't give a shit if you do or not -- you could come up with a better reason for waking me up than a one-shot comment in someone else's post.

Also, just to hit a little closer to whatever you've got for a heart in there: you know that box you're whining about being missing since you moved apartments? Yeah, it's the one with all my books in it.

Shit, and there's a new one out that you haven't got yet? Great, I'm gonna go take a nap while you pay your dues to Sai King. Take your time.

redes

You want to play me.

C'mooon. You totally want to play me. Come on.

I'm awesome. Play me.

Playyyyy meeeee.

... please?

I think we have issues.
