Aug. 5th, 2012

This event as you call it, will allow any and all to come to Paradisa for a brief time? Why on Earth would you wish to drag friends and family here? Especially for so short a stay as one week.

I know who you want, rest assured the one thing you can count on from John, is that he bows to the whims of none but himself.

Yes, I too would like to see Henry and Nigel again, and... no, your plans with Ashley are already painful enough.

Why not stick with the others you want to bring and leave me and those I care for in peace.

inputs

Whose side are you on, anyway?

ridethegiant

A game? But you said you didn't feel confident with my voice and were concerned that I would be an 'impulse muse'. You should make up your mind, already, before you rustle anymore jimmies - assuming you haven not already rustled every jimmie there is to rustle.

thaara

As I'm sure you know, I am a very busy woman. In case you have forgotten, my city is under siege. My duties are elsewhere. Entertain yourself in some other manner.

(ooc: SPOILERS WILL PROBABLY DEFINITELY BE IN COMMENTS. canon point is before the end of the movie, though. most tags probably tomorrow.)

ofthecity

...

I. Hate. You.

No, mun. Just no. Besides... Mr. H would never... Would he?

by_the_horns

Well, well, well. Look what the cat spat up.

Mun- I kinda don't wanna talk to you right now, I'm still so peeved at you. Ditching me like that in favor of the other girl, hell you didn't even do anything with her!

What's with you and wasting everyone's time? Even my patience has its limit y'know, you promise me a new game, but I'm not really buying it at all. Especially after you got me so worked up last time and nothing happened.

In other words... I'll believe it when I see it.

warriorscribe

Mundane, if you're too paralyzed with fear of failure to write at all, you can't possibly write well, either. You must try.

*An uncomfortable pause. There's more to say, but...go figure, his mundane is fretting over the way to even word his advice to herself.*

...I don't understand. My threads have come naturally to you for many months on end. Why this sudden doubt?

*Sudden doubt...it can't be...*

Mundane, I know you don't believe we're more than stories, but perhaps if you pray anyway...I worry.

megamagicpower

Mun, if you're having such a hard time coming up with mega-lame glasses puns to use as keywords...

... maybe you should take it as a sign to not use mega-lame glasses puns as keywords?!

reverseinverse

Mun, why must you put me out here where there's a lot of mean and evil people? There's so many out here that won't listen to reason at all! I don't want to fight anyone!

_{This is scary...!}

coyoteforhire

Thank you.

...For giving me a voice. It's nice to be heard.

And for not...using...that other journal name you had in mind. I'm not really awkward around women. I'm talking to you, now, aren't I? And please remember, I did conceive a child, presumably without any spores.

But while I'm here. Will you let me see my son? Cubby needs me. It's bad enough I left him with my mother, of all people. And with his condition... He must think I've abandoned him.

I'm not sure I like these—"memes?"—you're eyeing, either. Some of them are, frankly...embarrassing.

avalance

's okay, mun. I can see why you picked me over any of those X-losers. So, what now? Last thing I wanna do is stay cooped up in this headspace of yours, unless you don't mind me grungin' up the place a little.

not_that_scary

Really. It took you THIS long to actually get around and watch the movie. A movie, which not only you've known about for a good amount of time, but a movie based on a series of games, of which you've only completed the final two.

(But I have the first one now-)

And how far did you get in that exactly?

(Well, that's-)

And another thing, what the hell kind of user name is this? not_that_scary? Are you implying something?

(You do kinda mellow out towards the end-)

Not the point. If you're serious about this, then get your ass over to your laptop and finish Vol. 1.

(Ah, y-yes sir!)

*sigh* Doesn't even bother to check his e-mail for the confirmation code... idiot.

luckyseven

You had me worried there for a while - I was starting to think you'd never pick one. You're absolutely sure about this though, right? Depending on where you send me, you might not get to change your mind.

And if we ever do see Alicia... there'll be so much she and I won't have experienced together. Just keep that in mind, alright?

For both of us.

snoogans

( oh right I should probably cut Jay's entire life for content )

syntheticsheep

It makes sense. I'd certainly do better than the rest of the straights or AIs—sorry, programs—you've got rattling around in here. But let's set a few things straight, mundane.

[Amusement drops, shifts to a hard look]

You don't get to fuck with me. I've seen the kind of crap you like to throw your people at, and that is not acceptable.

You want to write me, you write me. No backing out three weeks in because you can't get voice, or want another crazy bastard there instead.

And no second-stringing. I know I'm not your first, and I sure as hell doubt I'll make things easy, but I'm not sitting in the background either. You put me in that place, I'm getting armed, and getting active.

Are we clear?

[Her smile's back, but with a dangerous edge, this time.] Oh, and mun? Let's not forget that small matter of when you want to take me from. You can try it. You really can. But you might not like how things turn out.

yearly

You really are planning to leave me stuck at this age, aren't you? That's all well and good for some people, and for.. you know, vampires and stuff, but.. I'm Time. And I have children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren and it's all a little weird for them when I look like a teenager.

I want my six months as an adult every year back. I don't think that's asking too much considering everything else I've put up with.

daryld

Well, there ya go. You did it. Two down, one to go. But, yeah, you're right. You do have a little more time to finish that last one off.

Now just wait for them all to open applications and ... then you can wait to see if I get accepted anywhere.

burninasbestosican

I don't know why you bothered. It's not like you're going to send me anywhere. You play a speedster, you can't play a Rogue. Give it a rest, would you?

secondwave

You- what is this? Don't give me this "mun-muse" nonsense! Don't you understand how important it is that I be there and not here, arguing with some silly little girl? Amdir's in terrible trouble and you're busy- busy- busy doing I don't know what!

If you know what's truly important for Breeland, you'll stop wasting my time like this at once!

Signed,
Dellosa Ryedor of Bree

ladyofasgard

I am proud of the man Thor has become. He is everything his father and I ever hoped he could become. Of course, I hear I have Lady Jane to thank for his transformation. Perhaps I will meet her in person? If my son ever deems to bring her to Asgard.

botanics

Oh. You only have a mere day or so to complete your application? Well isn't that dreadful. As much as I despise incompetency, I'd much rather prefer you forget about this silly game.

I mean, look at it! Everything is all the same -- the houses, the trees. And there are those make-shift families with mere strangers who may as well possibly hide, GOD FORBID, deranged and psychotic motives.

Even that shitty city takes a shine compared to this community prison. Now if you will excuse me, I have work to do.

derpdragon

Ahahaha... So all you ask for now is an Alecto? "Pretty please with sugar on top"? Somehow, I get the feeling that won't end well. This is already kind of a trainwreck as it is. Isn't it enough with with both Belial and Pamela? And you already have Ash too.

heartisabattleground

Hey Mun, don't be sad. I know it's tough to leave when January comes around, especially since you only joined a couple of months ago, but there are new journeys out there. You've even made a lot of new friends who will always be connected to you. And hey, you know where you're sending me if you can soon, so I won't be homeless after this.

But yeah, it's understandable that you don't know where to put your other muses. Just let me know if you need help, okay?

starktomboy

You have got to be joking. I thought you were done with me, Lady Writer.

[You always say Lady so scathingly, Arya. It hurts :c]

When will you let me be and be done with your strange places that you call games? Games imply that they are fun and the only person I see having fun in any of this is you.

[A pause. Because Mun also promised her Nymeria. And her brothers.]

You're a liar anyway. Nymeria cannot just magically appear because you think it would make me happy.

braces

You're all caught up now.

That's my life. All our lives, but you know what matters the most for this app.

Stop making that face, you don't see me looking that upset over it do you? You've got work to do anyway.

disfavored

[.......]

...Interesting choice.

Now stop mulling over signs and just choose one.

bitespandas

Mun! Muuuuuuuuuuuuun!

What are you even doing sitting around like that! You gotta finish watching more Gekiranger so you can let me go to a game, mun! Like you said!

Unless you don't want to worry about finishing the series--then you can do one of those "canon update" things you were talking about once you do! Really! You can! Muuuuuuun! I wanna go into something nooooooooooooow!

[And there he goes, throwing a tantrum.]

argentum

Actually, no. I’m not interested in going anywhere, and if you had your eye on the Whittemore kid in the first place you’re just wasting my time and your time with me.

Just let me go. I have more important responsibilities to deal with.

[Like hunting down Derek's pack, hur hur.]

overthinker

[ What should I tell her? It looks like everyone mostly complains about their mun here, but I don't mind going to a game.

I'm pretty happy that I might get to actually, since everyone's strange toward me at school.

I'll miss my family though. Maybe I should complain about it? Oh-- the post already started, maybe I should say something.

What should I say?

Aki-chan said when talking to new people I should at least say hello. This was supposed to be to my mun though wasn't it? What was the game she was thinking of sending me to?

And Fuyuki finally speaks, after having spent half of this post blankly staring while her brain went through all of those thoughts. ]

Holly Heights? Luceti? Thoughtformed? Which?

[ That first one is the place where everyone gets different families, right? ]

toprotect

You were really excited about this yesterday. And hey, I'm not saying that you're not still excited about it, anyone can see that you are. But you're scared.

I get it, it's been a long time, especially with you and me. I'm probably not the right person to be encouraging you like this, you have other muses better with words than I am but I think you need to hear it. You'll do great. I know your confidence took a hit the last time you gave me a shot but if there's one thing I know about you, it's that you know how to bounce back. If you didn't, I guess I'd be collecting dust by now.

Take a couple deep breaths. --calmer now? Even a little is an improvement. The reserves are still open, maybe it's not necessary, but it might be a good way to get yourself ready.

Now come on, play the game a little, and I'll be back with you before you know it.

ourfavoriteflavor

I don't know, Mun... I've already been to school and it really wasn't that great of an experience for me. I don't even know if I could be a teacher! That's sort of Phil's forte, not mine. And, well... Meg didn't seem so supportive of the idea, either. Something tells me I should probably listen to her.

[Too bad; pack up your things, Herc. You're off to a new adventure! And the app's already been started, so tough luck.]

Alright, alright. You've made your point. "A hero goes where he's needed!"

...I do still get to do the heroic stuff, right?

studmuffin

Dude, I don't think yelling my kingdom for a Scott is going to get us anywhere.

We don't have a kingdom.

Just saying.

distortedscream

Are you insane?

You have the scarred revolutionary and elemental girl already, why decide to turn me into one of your playthings too?!

I don't have time for this, I have responsibilities to Lord Megatron and my crew!

...And I don't have time for a genuine study into alternate realities!

And don't you dare mock me with the possibility that I'll see any form of Jetfire again!

He is dead. Dead and gone, because of that damned Cliffjumper--!

...I fraggin' urge you to reconsider this course of action.

kingofbabylon

Sushi. Out of the Kraken.

We're about as likely to get some kind of freak fish E. coli or grow gills as anything else if we ingest that. I don't even know how to make sushi, let alone how to carve a... kraken. Not to mention, I'm not really comfortable going anywhere near that thing, lest it pull some kind of Land Before Time magical rebirth crap.

You know what, no. I'm done being food bitch for this dump. Someone else can chop up our giant, tentacled friend.

merchantofdeath

Are you serious? What happened to not caring about being in games? Why do you suddenly want to be in one? Much less, why do you want to put me in one? You barely acknowledge me half the time, and suddenly—

You're a cow. No, no, you're two cows, that's how big a cow you are.

[nick are you saying i have big tits]

Bitch. Why are you so obsessed with me?

battle_meditating

I really don't see how difficult your choice is. You either play me as a Jedi or you play as Malak's apprentice. Either way, Revan will be there if I am. And it is always possible for you to plot that someone turn me away from a Dark path so it isn't as if it would be permanent should to so choose I follow that path.

Our choices are limited and you have such difficulty making up your mind, it's a blessing that the Jedi Council haven't gone to your world for any Force Sensitive children. We'd all be doomed if they had. Or they'd have all turned to join the Sith. Regardless, it would have been very difficult for us.

suckmykiss

Seriously? A sex island and an underwater prison?? Are you out of your frickin' mind? Don't you have enough muses or candidates for torture? Why me? What have I done to make you hate me that much? I really don't have time for this crap. Find someone else to toss in those places, I'm not going.

flower_tank

Mun, it's okay... please, stop crying. It's... it's flattering you think so much of me, but it's fine, really. So long as everyone is okay, I'm happy.

[She sighs and chuckles lightly.]

Yeah, it'd be nice to see everyone again, but don't worry about me. ...It would be nice to hear Rosie sing sometime, but you've got other things to worry about. I'll be okay.

busyguy

Noooo,

nonono,

no. How would it work, Mun? You tell me how it would work. No, really! Whos just can't do it, Mundane, I'm better off staying put. Besides, I have mayoral duties! Family! An upcoming kite flying race to be completely humiliated in! Pick someone big to go to one of these "game" things. I can't do it!

...I know I can't see you but I can tell when you're not listening to me you know.

pinkscrubs

You'll never finish that application if you don't stop procrastinating. No no, no. I'm not doing it for you. You'll have to do it yourself instead of watching those TV shows. Doctor Stiles... well he's bound to be doing something stupid without me to watch over him.

I'm fully aware that you're doing a canon review but winding yourself up about it every few minutes is just slowing us down. I was upset about Emilio too and I pulled myself together because I'm professional.

levin

Rather late, aren't you? Years late, in fact. Punctuality is a quality that I require in all of my subordinates--including you. I am very disappointed. And as you are well aware, I don't suffer disappointment gladly.

Thankfully for you, you have somewhat redeemed yourself by the speed with which you have been catching up. Now your only task is not to blow it. But I'm sure that even you can manage that, can't you?

Not to worry--I'll make certain that you can. But don't think that I'll go easy on you simply because you are my mundane. In fact, I think that means I should hold you to higher standards.

kadiskoting

Why are we going somewhere new? I mean, we do that on Voyager all the time but why a new ship? What's wrong with Voyager?

And what about my mom, and Neelix? I don't want to go anywhere if they aren't. An explorer can't go anywhere alone, it's one of Starfleet's regulations, it's why they're called away teams. And one person isn't a team. [ Duh ]

So where's Tranquility going? And the crew friendly? It would be nice to have new people to play kadis-kot with, for when my mom or Neelix is busy. [ Because they are. No ifs or buts ] So when are we going? A Captain's Assistant has to be prepared.

mypowersucks

So, ah...Mun? I know you're really looking forward to showing me around to some other mutants and everything, but could you maybe keep me as far away from my dad as possible? The last time we had a family reunion he sort of brainwashed me and tried to kill me and Kurt and all his friends.

That, and he's sort of a crazy psychotic megalomaniac who tried to take over the world.

dinnerdate

Why bother? It's just more things that I can't have. Look Dead End, look at all those Autobot power cores. Even the Decepticon ones look delicious. All those power cores you can't have. We're all going to die and those power cores will go to waste. Just a little stab and they could all be mine.

It's too bright there, the fuel would be horrible - nothing's as good as that. Like everything else, it's just not worth it. Nothing ever is.

dreamerspark

I know, I know! I'm excited, too! And I really wanna go back to being in a game and everything, but...

Maybe you should finish the game up first? Seems like a lot's happening to me and you're probably not even halfway through! It all seems pretty important...

thetyrant

And now that you have me here, what do you intend to do with me? I won't be mewling like certain fools about the things left unfinished in Albion -- I know that time stops in my absence. But as I seem to be here for the foreseeable future, I want to know what you intend.

Allow me to make this clear: there will be nothing I do not consent to.

But I may be persuaded to a great many things, now that I do not have a country to defend.

[So basically you're taking this as a vacation and you're happy with it.]

More or less.

[/cackle]

Mm, I've heard of that sound from the others here in this space. You are not as frightening, nor trollish, as you think you are.

higherfurtherfaster

Don't give me that "maybe a different game" crap. We both know you're not serious about looking for a game for me. You've never managed to be active in more than one game at a time, and I don't think you're going to start now.

So do us both a favor. Just drop it and let me get back to business.

pocketsurgeon

Vell, zat vas actually ... zhrilling. Zhough I know half of vat zey said vent right over your head. Ve vill haff more information tomorrow ven ze satellite flies over ze rover. You just haff to be patient.

Of course you don't know how to do zat. Und you don't even know vat zey are talking about! I'm nicht explaining everyzing to you for a fifzh time. Do your own research!

barebacking

Such impatience.

Oh, I don't deny that I showed the same in my last comments, but I suppose that I spoke to those that had eased my mind on such things as that. I now shall politely and quietly wait for my time. It may have something to do with not wishing to both those I have grown fond of, yes, but beyond that... I think we can both show a little decorum about the wait, yes?

earn_it

Y'know, its kind of nice, getting to be around Holland and Moon Doggie again in that muse space you have for use and all, but... I'm not sure I'm ready to go off to one of these games you're thinking about.

Why me? I'm just the rookie... Why not send Holland!? He's been looking for a new home for such a long time, and besides, I'd rather find her than find a home y'know.

...I'm just worried I won't be cut out for it.

thirteenth_brat

You can stop squealing now, Mun.

( In which the mun keeps squealing anyway... And again, SPOILERS. Also, some theory. And the muse being a smug little prick. )

((OoC: Did I mention SPOILERS? Applies to comments as well.))

iamso_awesome

Are you sure I can't turn him into a tree? He'd make a good tree.

tigress_of_kiev

Are you sure about this, mun? Don't make a reckless decision because you are bored and need something to do.

Your classes will begin again soon and you have other duties to worry about.

I think we have issues.
