Aug. 11th, 2012

Don't gimme that. When's the last time you gave me any real thought, hey? Just whims in passing; ain't the same thing. It's been years, mun. Things were a bit different then. Now, me, I don't think it's a good time, t'be quite honest. I don't need the upturnin', and love, neither d'you.

Jude

halfspooky

Okay, so... you finally got your wish. He's probably gonna be waking up in the game soon. Happy?

[Because he sure isn't.]

I don't get why you get such a kick out of watching him get the better of me. It doesn't matter, anyway, because in Nautilus I'm already way stronger than he is, so you're not --

What? So he's a smooth talker. Who cares? For the first time, I'm stronger than he is. That's what matters to him, right?

...Right?

herotypical

Dear orchestrator of all my frustratons -- yes, I'm talking to you. You with the keyboard. You with the defective sense of irony and fun and entertainment.

I'm so very not interested in playing maid-of-honour for a wedding party I'm not even sure I wanna be invited to. Archie and Liz are fabulous people on their own, but... [ together? ]

But if I do go, can I give the gift of marital doubt? Is that too gauch?

At least it's not a gravy boat. In the world of wedding presents, you don't get much tackier than a gravy boat. Unless, of course, I now take tacky to a whole new level by bridesmaiding for the very same woman my current man once proposed to. One of the same women. One of the same many women.

Ouch. That hurts me right in the pride. While I put some new ice on that, why don't you seriously reconsider whether it's worth stuffing me into taffeta. You know, I'm fairly certain I'm allergic.

And don't even get me started on Spike and his will-he-won't-he app status...

idkmybffhal

My dear sweet lady mun, thou ask where have I disappeared to when all my fellows were rounded up like so many cattle once our Harry had the crown laid on his head. I can only answer, I know not, save for into thine mind to serve as inspiration in this place. Surely scholars have found some significance to it, as idle minds do often put meaning into every aspect of a work. This font of knowledge, the web, is open to you should thou like to read theory or claim of brotherhood.

No answers will be found in me, save "anon anon."

digophelia

The more I look into this world and the significance and similarities to Norse belief, I hope someday Altair will return and appreciate my efforts.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't remember what he said.

grapples

"Where do I get my wonderful toys?"

I thought it was pretty obvious just by looking at them. Most of them are from Asia - Japan, Singapore, India - but there's a couple that were imported from Europe, too. And besides, I wouldn't call them toys; they're pieces of art. Guys like me, we love our expensive knick-knacks. Suits of armor have always been my weakness.

Was that what you meant? [of course it was.]

bootsweremadeforcasting

Another game? Oh, it worked out quite superbly last time, didn't it? Two is quite enough, I can't have you tossing an old man like myself this way and that. Just hoping for the best won't get you quite so far in the long run as you've found out, hm~?

I'm not responsible for lighting the fire under your rump in any case, so I can't be blamed for the lack of activity you seem to feel. I myself feel rather busy.

Not to mention a good headache coming along. I applaud you; you've managed to do something, as unproductive as it is.

~~Addendum: For Yulia's sake, I am not a dress-up doll, stop looking for excuses.~~

shadowbinder

You have many fears.

Yet you should not.

Place your disbelieve into the hands of the Lord of the Light, and he shall protect. Embrace him and his flames. Three false kings have fallen, and the hero shall still arise. The cold comes, and with it the night that never ends. Your heart needs to be fire.

Yet it is elsewhere you wish to send me then that where I am needed.

No matter where you seek, the night shall always be dark and hold its terrors, and the fires shall always burn pure. Do not become lost in the darkness.

midgarhorizon

Y'know, I'm not sure I can handle this, mun. I'm only one guy. I've been up against armies before and won, but this scares the crap out of me. Cissnei's taken care of herself so far, but...

Poor kid... she didn't even ask for this.

militia

Ehhh! After all this time, you expect me to take you back just like that!?

wantforahorse

I do not mind...my illness. [ yes...yes she does. ] You...say that you can bring me my horses? My...Joey and...Tophorn? But I thought...no. No. If that is their true names, then I shall call them as so. Joey and Tophorn. I would like to see them once more. I also wish to meet Joey's Albert. And perhaps...the Captain Nicholas?

You say that you will take me on adventures and exciting journeys. Do you promise me this?

Good. Then let us go on.

thetorturer

So, here we are again... you talking about 'sending' me somewhere, and knowing good and well that will never happen.

Why do you insist on bringing these pathetic creatures 'hope'? 'Hope' should be reserved for the pit, a glimpse of it to facilitate breaking a soul down.

Although, I suppose in your own way you're a bit more like me than you might like to admit. Really, though Mun please leave the torture to the professionals, your attempts are... embarrassing at best.

crimogen

You already know what you did, but I'll just put it out here again for emphasis:

You seriously need to get your priorities straightened. Why are you even doing this two months earlier than you said you would? You're practically shooting yourself in the foot, and I can tell you how unpleasant that is.

[But--]

No buts, kid. I don't care what you do, just withdraw that bloody application and let me have my two months of peace before you throw me in there. You may like Sherlock but there's no way in hell I'm going to start dealing with him and his arse of a brother two months earlier than I thought. And let's not even get started on all the things you already have in your head for me.

[Lestrade--]

It's Detective Inspector to you, kid, and I suggest you get to it pronto before they process your app.

[Just. Facepalming now. God, why is this his life.]

stillcares

Alright, so you're in a slump. Big deal!

You keep saying you're not good at going through with stuff, so, I figure if... if it makes you so upset then I guess I'm okay with you sending me to some weirdo magic place. You know, since... all the other muses are doing it.

You can do this. I promise.

C'mon! How bad can it- wait, wait, no, stop listening to that song, you said you weren't gonna make me sit through that again until you got the DVD!

monopolyonsnark

There are things that require my attention, mundane. Your uncertainty is increasingly inconvenient. If you are not going to drop me, play me. If you are not going to play me, drop me.

You are aware of the possibilities, make use of them. We can infiltrate Vulcanus, destroy the Scarab, hire hands, get rid of the allies of my enemies.

What I will not allow you to do is ignore me. Stop wasting my time.

edes_virag

Two very important dates are coming up. Please don't forget them, mun.

It may be a day for mourning but also a day for celebration, I believe. Perhaps I can make some of my home treats for my 'daughters' to partake in. And teach them of my history.

On the Olympic side, everything seems fun so far! England did a wonderful job at making everyone feel welcome with his ceremonies. I'm proud of everyone and the unity we can share with these competitive games.

It's nice to see teamwork in a world so crazy now a days. A small reminder that we're all part of something bigger.

butterflymilk

Don't worry, mun. Watch the movie again, and I bet you'll do fine with me. Really, you're too stressed.

Just relax! Maybe then you can find me a game with lots of trees.

1mistress_nomaster

My lady Mundane,

It is not that I am not glad to be returned home, I do so sorely miss England most days. I miss my ladies, my court and god help me, some days I even miss Burghley's and Walsingham's nagging.

... But I miss them just as much I find. They need me for the same sort of things, and their company is at least earnest, and it is no pleasant a thing to go home and live though.

[sigh, just a quiet little sigh]

Just let this pass as quickly as possible, that is all I wish.

dyingsun

Why would you want to apply for me anywhere when you could have someone who isn't dying?

Yes, I would like to be able to spend more time with him... But you don't make any sense to me.

alesserequalist

So my bending lessons began. I hope he doesn't push me too hard. I'm sure he won't because of my condition.

The next time I encounter a cultist, maybe I'll be able to defend myself.

Current Mood: calm

couldhavehad

Do I look to be in the mood for games, bambina? No? That is because I am not. Leave me be.

jeitinho

...It's not like I wanted a gold medal anyway. Who cares about the Olympics?! It's just a bunch of under-23 players anyway, that's not real football!! I'm hosting the World Cup in two years and that's going to be INCREDIBLE.

Don't even bring up the FIFA rankings thing!! Did you see how high Portugal is on that thing?! It's a fake! I'm gonna win the cup in Rio, anyway, and Mexico'll lose in the qualifiers, and everyone can see how amazing I am! I mean, you don't see MEXICO with five stars on their jerseys!

Stop looking at me like that! Mun, I'm mad at you, stop giving up your loyalties so quickly. We're going to win, okay?

We have to.
-Brazil

rationnelle

You seem pretty dead set on that tower place, huh?

Not that I know a lot about this stuff, but aren't you supposed to pick someone out to apply before you find a game to play in? I don't really see what you're so afraid of. Why do you think anyone would judge you for sending me there, for example? And even if they do, what does it matter?

Hurry and make up your mind before you run out of time to send anyone. As it is you're just spinning your wheels in the mud.

hitmebaby

Hey, this is pretty spiffy and all, but don't you think you should finish going over your material first? The picture show isn't going to watch itself. And if you're anything like Rosette, just ankling into this isn't a good idea.

Someone could razz you for it, and where would you be then? I'm not saying you're a push-over, or anything, but think about it a little first.

[...]

Nothing I say is going to change your mind is it? Well, if you mess up, I'm not going to be the one holding the bag!

pocketmage

Oookay, so a magic castle that kidnaps people and slowly chips away at their souls? That doesn't sound like much fun. Not to mention the fact that I've only been in your head for... what, maybe a week officially?

[ Sigh. ]

Don't you think it's a little early to reserve me and start writing that application? I mean, you haven't even tested me out or anything! Can you even write me correctly? I'm pretty smart, you know- and you're at Lloyd's caliber.

[ A pause. ]

You don't even remember all of your multiplication tables. ~~So how are you going to make me look smart at all?~~

Well, at least I hear there's a lot of people I know there, so I won't be alone... even if that's what made you want to put me there in the first place.

freaker

So, you want to try taking me on as a 'muse?' Brings to mind what greek poets once wrote of-- nine scantily clad nymphs of both sweet-sounding music and interpretative dance...

[Yup, just going to drift off for a second there. Thinking about all dem toga'd ladies.]

Ah. Where was I? Oh. Right. I imagine I'll be perfectly fine with wherever you want to send me. As long as Tommy's--

[Yeah, about that. Tommy may or may not be available.]

Oh.

[Self-survival instincts activate.]

Well, while your interest was appreciated, I'm not really looking for a new home at this time.

[A pleading smile.]

Thanks for stopping by.

normalprinny

Miss Mun,

This really wasn't necessary...uh, dood. I know you mean well, but I can't actually be applied anywhere. You know that too...dood. Even if I could be, you have a job and several other characters. Please, you don't need to do this.

...dood.

the_reckoner

Why you thought you could control me, Mundane, I'll never know.

You are not her, and I am not your 'pup', but I'll stay. For now

robotnanny

Mundane, what is my function for being at this place? I also fail to see the purpose of these games. You mentioned that the Team might be present but they have proven to be able to look after themselves. They do not require my assistance. [He's a proud robot nanny.]

That does not mean that I would be opposed to seeing them.

shortarmofthelaw

( Spoilers up to The Walking Dead issue #48 )

disinformation

You wish to help solve unfinished business? Then allow me to assist in bringing Megatron to his rightful place on Cybertron, not focus on problems I already found the solution to.

My cover was blown - "Longarm Prime" is no longer required. Nor do I care for your obsession with a certain offlined Autobot, mundane. I only did what was necessary.

Now if you will excuse me, I have a cause to get back to.

thrice_a_queen

While I appreciate being given a voice, I think your choice of home for me a poor one, given the nature of the abode you've chosen. I do understand why you chose the place in question and I will endeavor to make the best of my situation, but I must at least lodge a protest with you.

I would have been much happier in a place with my brother, had I been given a choice in the matter. I will admit to curiosity about Sansa's brother but that doesn't extend in the direction you seem to wish it to.

What is done is done, though and I will wait till things improve or you tire of me.

kartoffelstampfer

That frown on your face. It hasn't been there ten minutes ago. You rarely worry. Well... Openly. If you think you said too much, remember that for the future in case a second chance appears. Though don't count on it. Few things are going to turn out the way you may wish for them to go. Get used to that. Adjust.

And don't make that face. The first of your applications got approved, so you have new responsibilities to take care of! I am even inclined to approve of the place you chose even. It's small, but the setting is much more acceptable than that island. I am merely criticizing the day you decided to pick me from. Again. May I request that you go with a date a couple of years earlier than that in the future, mundane? I do not appreciate being taken from a point where I am at my weakest. I see you understand. Danke.

Now go. You have responses to type. Neglecting those duties you burdened yourself with is irresponsible.

kallian

I see you finally started writing that application. It's about time!

Sheesh, that history section is kinda long. Did I really do all of that? Feels like I did it all for nothing, sometimes.

It'll be nice to see Anders again and finally meet this Champion of his. I wonder if any other people I know will show up? It'd be nice to see them again. Well...some of them.

kirk_is_his_hero

So, you're finally doing it, huh? You're finally going back to Siren's Pull after all this time. And you're putting me in. Good choice. As a professional, you won't have any trouble with me at all. I'm sure the entire team is already there waiting for me so we can do our Ghostfacing there. You said there were all sorts of people from my world.

...

But they're not. Okay. That's fine. I'll just be a lone wolf for a while. It'll be interesting without Harry, but I'll make it work. The Ghostfacers won't be gone because I'm alone.

wincests

Are you seriously going to commit this time? You keep saying you're going to send me to Sam and then you don't! Make up your mind!!

You still haven't made it up and we're still having this conversation!!

Sam needs me!! [No he doesn't :|]

polar

Okay, look. Just because Katara went home and the only person left from there besides me is Anger Lord Sulko, does not mean I'm lonely. It doesn't mean I'm needing companionship or a hug or anything like that. It just means that I have to be the one to make sure he doesn't burn down the castle now. It's kinda in my job description. Y'know, the Avatar thing and all.

Stop tossing around ideas for a deep and meaningful realization or whatever. It's not gonna happen, at least not where and when you want it to. I have Naga, and I knew things weren't going to last.

So just get me back on track and working on airbending again. Even without Tenzin, I should try to get it to work. Maybe the funky magical stuff will help my spiritual... connection... thing.

[......] Chop chop!

cueball

There are still some months before the area I am currently located to is no more.
Yet you are already seeking a new place to place me in.
No matter. Search at your leisure.
The clock will move and I will watch with the eyes I do not have.
I will be here waiting. As I always do.
For how long will be put into your hands.

family_remains

You're busy, I get it, but the way you just dropped off the map? I don't know, I guess I feel like we left too many loose ends. Actually, it's not we, it's you. I was fixing things. After all that crap with Dean and Lucifer, and Castiel, and Mom and Dad, and Jess you just-

It wasn't fair.

freewoman

So yer takin' me to the South, not even the South some country I've never heard of. As some sort of rebel? What do you take me for, girl? If the White Walkers are comin' from the North, why would I be headin' South? Why would Mance Rayder tell me to go? If our lands are bein' raided by somethin' called a 'mutant' we'd still kill it and burn their bodies. Nothin' changes.

Keep me where I am.

And stop mopin' about Jon Snow not bein' there. I'm a spearwife and I don't need'im.

goyellowthunder

Oh. It's you again, mundane. Here I was, thinking I'd finally gotten you out of my hair.

If I'm so 'inspiring' and 'relatable,' then why didn't you, I don't know, play me when the show was still airing? Most of the fandom now probably doesn't even know what a Magiranger is. And before you say anything: no, I don't wanna meet that guy who looks like me. He's a smug jerk. I can't stand people like that.

Look. I don't want to play any games. I don't want to be in muse boxes or these 'memes' of yours, or anything. Unless my family is there, I'm not interested.

walksthestorm

Pardon me, Ms. Mundane, but don't you think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself? You still have one final book to read, after all, and I suppose you'll want to look over the aeronautics manual as well.

Even more importantly than that, what are we to do in one of these games while there's a war being waged across Europe? It may be true I'm little more than a "waste of hydrogen" aboard the Leviathan at the moment, and yet I'm afraid I don't see how leaving the continent - or perhaps more - is going to achieve anything.

a_specialist

"This" isn't going to happen.

I suggest you give up whatever plans you have for me before you get hurt. I am not above crushing lesser beings for fun. Yes that means you, you ignorant monkey.

raisedbyocelots

Hello? Who are you? You don't look like anyone I've seen in Gimmelshtump.

... Did my parents disown me again? I'm sorry, but I think I like the ocelots more.

homebrew_hitman

"...hitman"?

Come on, babe, there are a lot of words for what I do, and that is most definitely not one of them. Clover's forgiven me, why can't you?

therarest

Now darling,

I know you have been playing Rainbow Dash for quite some time now, but I am just another type of pony entirely. You'll have to watch every single episode again and again to so you can get my stunning voice just right. I won't have it any other way you know. I must have perfection!

Now, be a good human and make me a spa appointment, hmm? I simply can't travel to a new place without looking my best.

Your Muse,

Rarity

skirtingtheissue

You've really chosen me to be your muse? Thank you very much... I'll do my best!

[To do what, exactly?]

A-ah, that is- to be a strong muse!

discipleo

Perhaps it's best that I'm on our own there for a while. I've never b33n around such a large group of people alone. Maybe it will give me the confidence to speak in front of strangers. Of course I'll miss Cancer, Virgo and Gemini but...

I'm sure they're fine. I'm sure that I'll find word of them before long. I must simply relax and wait for them to come to me.

I was always terrible at waiting.

blacklion

Mundane,
I have been called a lot of things in my life but I can't say "cute daddy Largo" has ever been one of them. I am certain whatever caused you to refer to me as such is something long in the past and would suggest you reconsider your view of me.

I would also like to point out that whether my or the Commandant's beard is "better" is not only subjective but entirely irrelevant so I see no reason for you to discuss it.

unseeingjustice

You're serious about this, aren't you? I already get no time to myself, and now you're sending me somewhere with the others?

Reconsider. I'm busy.

pined

Right, okay. Don't you think maybe someone more like Scott would be a better match? For you, and... whatever it is we're doing here?

[ translation: He's kind of an idiot, you're kind of an idiot. Match made in idiot heaven. ]

Well, whatever. Let's make this quick, I need to get back to band practice. We're recording an album, you know.

[ blam. dead. ]

nomoretrbbls

Miss Mun,

This is absolutely absurd. You can't just take a man away from his crew and his ship just to do this thing called a voice test. Wasn't that something people in the twenty-first century did? Sit around their computers staring at their screens and playing? Some of us have better things to do like make sure every single one of those blasted creatures off my ship while ensuring that my crew doesn't get into another scuffle with the Klingons.

I don't much care for your notion of sending me to Canada.

So send me back at once.

waylost

[Standing elegantly at attention, as always. The progress of the application process has been monitered closely, and she's actually ... fairly impressed with the new tweaks to her senses and capabilities.]

Thank you ...

[A faint nod as the long, gong-like, sheen of a sound emanates.]

... for the voice.

timidscars

I...I guess it's not s-so bad as I thought. I've n-never seen a library t-that big.

Lilly and Emi are c-coming too? I w-wonder who else will s-show up...

fuckyoubitch

You're giving this angel a dick of a Persona? What kind of name is Mara anyway? It's like dealing with cherry boys who don't know their anuses from their mouths. It's kinda tame compared xxxxx but whatever. I'll deal. If it's a xxxxx on a chariot you might as well call it a fucking xxxxx on a chariot.

As long as there are some dudes I can fuck in that fucking celestial warzone of a city, yeah? I still haven't reached my goal of a thousand guys yet and I wanna do that before I get dragged off to heaven again.

I think we have issues.
