What, so all it takes is an Angel to bat his eyes in the right direction and suddenly you're putty in their hands?

I'm not going.

skirtcladgunner

How many times do I have to tell you? They're not daddy issues.

And I wouldn't cry in front of someone because of them, even if they were! Especially not in front of Mr. Bondage. [Hmph.] Besides, I have a perfectly good Dad now, so why should I bother dwelling on the bastard?

[...] Yeah, so what if it's been a while since I've seen Dad? Shut up, I know I'm going to see him again, so it's not like I'm worried that I never will! I'm not worried at all, and I'm... I'm definitely not sad!

unfortunategiggle

omgosh! You seriously want to play me? This is sooooo cool! It'll be like having a sister! Well another one! We can be triplets!

How cool will that be? I'll be all like OMGOSH and Kara will be all Whatever... and you can be all... well I don't know what you'll be like, but it'll be fun anyway! I can't wait for things to get started.

Oh, and watch out for that doorframe~!

oncemorewithsoul

What. You think it's just gonna be that simple? Just walk in and be a part of this big happy family?

It doesn't work that way. It's never going to.

It can't.

splurt

... No. I refuse. Just the thought of being forced to be around their kind is making me break out.

Hiroshi and I have more important things to be doing. You will not disrupt us with this dumb idea.

caligulas_aquarium

my entire life is a SHAM

justrevenge

Don't you think this is a little irresponsible of you, Mun-san? You already play a lot of characters in a lot of games, but you're thinking of playing me too… um, it's not like I'm not flattered, _{I guess}, but shouldn't you concentrate on what you already have?

Really. I'll be okay by myself.

a_whole_new_world

I've had Rajah since he was a kitten. He was my first and only friend. {She sighs quietly, fiddling with an apple.} I'm going to miss him, Mun. I know he couldn't come with me. It wouldn't have been safe for him. Still...

{Curling up in a corner, she rests her chin on her knees.}

I just want freedom. Why is that so wrong?

number23rd

Nope.

Look, I just got a name, all right? Let's take things one step at a time. I really don't want to hear any more about the future or kids or Philosopher's Stones or any of that.

I just want to take a few minutes to bask in the fact that I'm neither under a knife, here, nor filthy and starving. It's a new thing for me, okay? I'd say that I'm not being worked to the bone, either, but I'm not stupid, lady, no matter what Homunculus thinks, and I know you have plans.

Yeah, I guess I am kinda' mouthy for a slave, but by now I'm kinda' used to it getting me into trouble.

ragnarocked

I...do not understand. Loki is...a crow?

seconddarkest

[going to

cityofrot; muse not happy]

I disapprove that you consider me suitably villainous enough to be in a game that only accepts villains. You know I have every good intention and am doing what I can for the greater good and yet you still applied and am happy that I am accepted to be in such an evil crowd....

I do not know how you expect me to fit in there, mun. That Voldemort on the other hand....

followswisps

Mun, y'cannae play both me and my mother in the same game together. Whatever could y'be thinking? I'm just glad y'settling with my voice for now.

How would I ever get to have any freedom if she were there to spoil my fun? And think about all the fun I could have without her around! Just for once it'd be nice if I could do whatever I wanted all the time instead of having to worry about my princessy duties and setting the right example for those wee devil brothers of mine.

...Gonna 'ave t'say Mun I dunnae exactly like being without Angus either, How am I supposed to feel the wind through m'hair without him?

ogrewhelming

While I am pleased that you have nearly completed my application, should you not wait for a certain critical piece of information? My involvement in that case is not necessarily over, after all, and you should have full knowledge of my part in recent matters if I am truly to be played at my best.

...And speaking of my best, I cannot help but notice that this tower lacks any sort of workout or training facilities. I am not one of your supernatural beings or role-playing heroes. If I cannot exercise properly, my strength will naturally fail in time. I cannot regain this strength simply by fighting monsters. I trust you have taken this into account.

checkyes

I'm not really sure about this, mun. You still don't have a lot of show to go on right now. Shouldn't you wait at least until halfway through this season to try this out? I'm not saying you can't do it, but what if you make a mistake and contradict something? Just be careful, okay.

whiterice

Ah, it's been a while, Mun-san. Are you well? ...I see. I wish I could offer you a moment to relax in one of our onsens but our countries are quite a distance apart, aren't they? No, please don't worry about me; your learning is more important. I will still be here when you are done, so please do your best in your assignments.

bloodcurdling_cheesecake

H-hey! What's with this username?! I'm not gonna be made fun of, you hear?!

Who cares if I ain't girly like Senpai and Yoko? Wait, you sayin' I like chicks, is that it?

[Nope. Mun is not going to explain "cheesecake" being slang for "sexy woman". However, don't let this stop anyone else from cluing her in!]

don_of_ramen

Irasshai!

Oh there you are kid! Come on have a seat. Let's watch that countdown clock together over some Ramen.

Just because all you have is instant Ramen doesn't mean you can't dress it up a little. Don't you have some Feta and ham? Give it a shot!

girl_friday

Admittedly, I was under the impression Tony would have swept in here by now, making some sort of pithy entrance remarks that he'd been drafting on his flight over.

Probably some comment about coming to help me find my glass slipper.

But that's really the point, Mundane. I am not Cinderella and I'm not entirely convinced you took that into account before slapping me in the middle of this ridiculous contest. I don't even want to be queen.

And honestly, you don't even want to get me started on Loki.

lendahand

I thought you said you weren't ever going to send me anywhere? I don't care either way but it's kind of annoying when you keep changing your mind on me.

Don't you have other things to worry about, anyway?

encoder

I can say for sure that this is one of the stupider ideas you've had.

School starts in t-10 days. You don't want to fail too miserably, do you?

andajarofdirt

Darlin', I'm bound to like the whale better than the squid-o-doom, if only because it didn't eat me.

And stop staring at me, it was just a month. 'a course I'm not hearing voices and having cheery old chats with myself and all possible variants.

[Mun might or might not be snickering about something.]

And can we lay it off the goat thing already? It was a bloody handsome goat, alright! Why can't a man want a little peace and quiet with his ship and his monke---oh bugger all, he is my monkey now, isn't he.

[Pause.]

Hector! If you're out there, come here and take your bloody demonic chimp!

[Silence. Mun snickers.]

Oh hush you, it might have worked. But honestly, love, why can't a man have some peace and quiet with his ship and his borrowed chittering hellspawn, without someone bringing up the goat?

coal

[ hello, dear_mun. today we have a girl with brown braided hair and an expectationless stare, sitting poorly in a cheap upholstered chair much like the ones in her high school's guidance counselor waiting room. it looks only slightly less worn than her clothes: oversized flannel and ripped jeans. she is not going to talk about the problems she has in other universes, or the problems she has in this one, like that whole, uh, dealing her neighbors' stolen pot thing (because it's only a problem if you get caught). that's what ~~thoroughly drunk~~ guidance counselors are for. ]

Am I in trouble?

last_showdown

That was quick. Didn't think you'd just go and pluck me off the Zeit Krokodil like that, but I ain't complainin'. Just means I get to have more fun outside of the Frontier.

Now you just need to deal with the original and you're all set. And get me some better expressions or somethin'.

...Wait. Whaddaya mean you're not taking me anywhere? Are you kidding me?

[Yeah, he's already getting the temptation to draw out the Longtomb Special and blast the headspace into kingdom come. Only he won't, because he'd blow up the other muses his mun has. >_>]

otherisbetter

You're still nervous, sweetheart? Even after all the fun we're having with the voice test? Oh, my poor little girl, it' alright. No matter what happens, I'll take excellent care of you and all the other children.

[Other children?]

Of course! You're looking to send me into one of those games, aren't you? Looking to let me stretch my legs and get a little competitive? I'm joking, of course, I know the games you're thinking of aren't the games you know I adore. Still, it'd be nice to meet more people... Find and love some more poor, lonely little ones.

It's almost like a game of hide and seek, isn't it? All my children are hiding and waiting for hugs, while I'm finding each and every one of them.

Isn't that fun, dear? They think they can hide from their Mother. Don't they know that I know every single move they make? It's my job to, after all.

exdemon

You know, I really thought you were done trying to put me in a game when you're always too busy gushing over that stupid vampire and his alarmingly sharp cheekbones to give me the attention I both desire and deserve. I'm very interesting, you know! As well as both fun and entertaining! You love talking about menstruation and sex and ignoring social boundaries. I do too! Don't you see how well this will inevitably go?

And now that we've gone over my qualifications, there's just the matter of my salary to discuss.

I do get a salary, right?

...right?

inmateincharge

Oh, munsy! We need to talk. [Uh-oh.]

If you're trying to bore me to death, then you could very well succeed. First, you keep me crammed up in that puny little head of yours - a lot like Arkham, but without those comfy padded walls. Then, you send me here; I'll admit, it's a lot more entertaining, but there's just not much to do in this place!

And now, you want to send me to some backwater town where there's not much crime, little in the way of technology, and no Batman? The first two, I might be able to deal with - I can still do some damage on my own, and improv sometimes gets the best results. But the third one simply will not do. How am I supposed to build up a reputation in that miserable "Luceti" place if the closest thing I have to an arch-nemesis is the Bird Brat and his insignificant little band of Teeny Tiny Titans?

Find me Bats, and maybe I'll play along with your little game. ...Oh, and if you have the time, try to drag Harley there too; I know I'm not picking up after whichever hyena you send with me.

Well, Hill wasn't. Wrong. Exactly— And the gauntlets aren't really made for precision grip. Just to clarify, Sprocket. You're the boss, I know.

antagonises

I got you this far, you think I'm going to quit on you now? Oh, sugar, we're just getting started, and you know how good it'll be. But don't worry, it'll be okay. You don't have to deal... yet. I've got plans for you, and all of those nice folks that are with you.

Shh, that's it. You don't have to say anything, I've got more than enough for the both of us. All you have to do is watch. Enjoy the show, and maybe you'll get a guest appearance.

Oh- you think there's going to be something else? Well, that would be fun, but I don't know... But why not, I mean, you're only going to live once.

accidentalrebellion

Another game.

[Her voice conveys the quietest twinge of resigned bitterness. She knew better than to expect they'd be over. That's the way her world works, after all. Why would this be any different?

Always a game. Always.]

I'll do it. I'll play.

[Beat]

But only for her.

namesram

Hey. One thing at a time, remember? You'll have more room for all of us in here when your other stuff's out of the way. You just have to make a~~nother~~ list and figure out what to do first.

angel_of_death

So it's time for a kip, is it? Well, just because you're taking a rest away from those games of yours, don't think for a minute I'm going to let you keep me from my comrades.

Show me those memes and museboxes you mentioned before. Now. I wont be put away.

deflections

Whether you actually manage my voice in a way that you're happy with or not, I don't want to go to place like the one you're eyeing.

I know Dee is there, but that's not the point. I have responsibilities and being trapped in a city that's ....

You don't even know if you'll grasp me well enough to write the app, so why don't we just agree to go our separate ways.

brujah_barkeep

Are you friggin' kidding me? You wanna send me to some otherwordly Miss America contest?

Last time I checked, vampires who accidentally helped nearly start the Apocalypse don't exactly win prizes for Miss Congeniality.

You're serious about this, aren't you?

Fine. Whatever. We both know you'll totally chicken out.

Again.

notasamurai

Why am I still here? Shouldn't you be getting bored of me already? You don't even have plans for me!

...

I'll never understand this mundane stuff.

portender

I would say I'm disappointed but I'm not surprised.

You only have a loose outline of my story and yet here we are. Do take it easy and do some research first, won't you?

Don't go running around like a chicken without a head just because you've given me a face.

hissterical

Real cute name, kid. Musta taken you all day to come up with it. Now give up already. I don't want to be here, and you're gonna have a helluva time with me. Why not leave me be like a good lil girl and shoo.

Uuugh, fine. The least you could do is find my gang.

-Martel

livelysmile

Heeey, I see what you did there. Isn't that one of those memes that you're always quoting? Or something like that. Eh. I don't really see the appeal. It's kind of weird. But then again, you're kinda weird too mun.

Don't give me that look, it's true! You like it weird, and now you tossed me into the ocean of people who have back stories and without a place to go do. I'm a placeholder, right? I'm allowed to voice my opinions.

Nope, you're right. Even if I didn't, I would. Yeah, I would! Know why? Cuz you're going to do something horrible again.

It better not be something freak with jelly, zombies or tentacles! I can give you a baaaad headache!

halfhorse

I am no Iron born girl, scribe. I haven't a need for your 'ships'. I do not need your nor Robert's delusions of me. I do not need any man's wishes. I am a Northerner, a Stark. I am no play thing, to be written as you see fit.

Robert is no king of mine.

If things are as you tell me though, there is little surprise in knowing his ruin befalls Westeros. I do not speak ill of him, simply that he does not know me. I should keep it that way.

I am content to stay here, to ride in the North.

pmsgargoyle

What are you doing, you fool?!
Not now! [not ever. probably]

If that goes through, I'll make sure you will regret it, you filthy human!

reversedfool

Your constant fretting is beginning to be a real pain, mundane.

todefydestiny

You know, mun, I wish that I knew what was coming or what had happened...

I mean, then ... I could help more people, but not knowing what is going to happen... I can already see that I might walk into something that might be dangerous.

Well, I suppose for now we have to just think positively.

Sorry. I guess I was just writing to pick myself up...

labyrinthofsuffering

So you're really doing it. Well, good for you.

Just don't forget that I'm a human being, not a toy.

againstthewind

Mundane-san, please make up your mind - this back and forth thing is starting to get really annoying, and you really shouldn't be so wishy-washy anyway!

But, hmm... I guess if this place really is as tame as it seems, I wouldn't mind it too badly.
I'll have a little group to travel with, right? A kid and his sister? And my own "Pokemon" to keep me safe, of course...

Well; either way, make up your mind! I'm okay with whichever you choose, please remember it!

daylighter

Okay... movie me looks good. Though I'm pretty sure Robert Sheehan is not the answer I'd give for who would play me in the biography of my life. I'll give him credit, though, he pulls me off.

But it would be nice if you stopped having nostalgia attacks every time you saw an image. For one thing, I've barely been gone a month. For another, you're about to be even busier than when you dropped me. Izzy's obviously fine without me. Clary's not even there. I... don't really care about Jace.

At least wait until there are more movie me icons before doing anything. Since you like the guy's face so much.

wipeyourtears

[ The crying. Kintaros is a bit flustered because his mun still bursts into tears at reminders of the Den-O TV ending and he hasn't been able to do anything about it. ]

But… it was a happy ending, wasn't it? Ryoutarou's memories brought us all back. Surely that's a good enough reason to– To… cry because you're so happy? Oh. [ He scratches his head, then crosses his arms and chuckles. ] I thought you were upset!

No, no, being moved by our strength and sacrifice is reasonable. As warriors and men, it's our duty to put ourselves on the line to protect those who can't defend themselves. Only… [ Awkwardly, he turns his head and shifts his weight. ] You should shed no tears over me. I only did what had to be done. [ When he realises another tearful fit is imminent, he clears his throat and hurriedly gropes for a different topic because he can't take any more. ] Instead, look to the future! You have a great task before you, don't you? Allow me to lend you my stren–

[ He freezes just before cracking his neck, then sputters. ]

…What do you mean, I can't help you write this? My penmanship is just fine! …Oh. Oh, well, that makes more sense. It must be difficult to sum up a man like me.

[ He nods and crosses his arms again. He isn't even trying to hide how proud he feels. ]

Just remember, I still stand by you no matter your decision. But it's good that you're moving ahead and taking this step. You can only grow stronger from here. It may be a daunting task, but the rewards gained at the end of a difficult path are worth the journey. Keep your head up. I think you're stronger than you realise and you don't give yourself enough credit. You're a little bit like Ryoutarou that way, you know.

[ Now he cracks his neck, and he seems to grin. ]

Well? Let's go!

fiendish_artifice

Well, well. It's certainly taken you long enough to come up with something you call "suitable", though I think we agree about some things yet to be dealt with.

Now then, do you plan to keep me entertained?

alwayskidnapped

Miss Mundane,

Really, I am unsure if I should be offended by your laughter or not. Really, my... ah... counterpart did not look that bad-- oh, please try not to look at me like that. Yes, I am glad that they redesigned all of us, but--

[ Annette frowns. ]

Did... did you just say I looked like... a tool in Rondo of Blood? Why would you even... I am afraid I am not certain what that means, but I can assure you, Mundane, that I looked nothing like any sort of tool!

[ ...A beat, and then: ]

...Wh-why do you keep laughing?!

tibias

Oh, so you decided to go through with it? I'm surprised, I thought you preferred my first mate in all his eyebrowlessness. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. There are bound to be people here and elsewhere I'd enjoy [ bothering ] talking to again.

irreversibly_contaminated

You have absolutely no idea what you're doing, which means I have to wait until something happens, something bad likely, and then move in to try and save us both. Why does this sound familiar?

Oh, yes, it was the last three cycles of my life.

You have no idea where you would send me, less idea what to do with me and now aren't even sure what period of my life to draw from. Oh I'd say you're perfectly prepared as a human.

I have a pulse pistol.

I will use it.

Think carefully.

Please refrain from renaming my journal with "princehairydork". I do not find the title amusing, and it is no longer acceptable, especially after you have informed me of just what is a dork.

greenteengenius

Oh, come now. You keep telling me I am too obscure and too "godmodey" to be apped anywhere, yet you keep returning to me and proclaiming you would like to roleplay me. Make up your mind.

Also, I do not look anything like that Pejic fellow. Far too thin. That Fletcher person is a more reasonable choice, I suppose. At least he's not a model.

Well of course I'm coming back. I mean really, what would those guys do without me?

But please, keep up the fangirly squeals. Not like I need my eardrums to work or anything.

triplereligion

...yes, I also know that it has been a while since you played me.

I do not mind. Your head is very noisy.

I appreciate that you have been doing more research on me. But you still have a lot to learn. I have been around for a long time.

I think we have issues.
