Sep. 1st, 2012

[Sup dear_mun. There is a young woman in a white half-cape, armed with daggers at her belt. When she speaks, it is in a heavily accented voice:]

Are you certain this is wise? My place is at Vie de Marli, protecting my island. I do not wish to be removed from there.

Neither do I wish to be treated like... [She pauses, hesitating on the word--] a puppet. My will is my own. You already play one of the sons of Sparda, do you not? I am not needed.

...Still... [She pauses, looking down at a coin in her hand thoughtfully.] If I can see him again...

commanding

I guess it's been awhile, huh? Then you play that new part and bam, here I am again. And you were worried my voice might be fading. I get that maybe it's a little hard to reconcile how I was three years ago with how I am now, but... people do change. You can't blame the writers for everything. Well, you can, but it's not gonna get you anywhere.

And-- yeah, look, I'll admit it. That scared me. I'm used to him doing stupid things without thinking, but-- that scared me. And I've got enough to worry about lately.

Let's hope I stick around for awhile longer. Someone has to keep dragging his ass out of the fire before he gets too badly burned, okay?

imlikeyou

Mun-chan? Could we have a word, if you please?

I know you're as excited as I am that we're going to be working together, and I'm really very happy about that. I can't wait to see what we might get up to, and I'm happy to be here among friends.

But... I hate to criticize, of course, but this place? Zodion? I don't know if that is really the best place for me. Especially since I think it would worry the people close to me.

I'm sure we'll have fun no matter where you send me! It's just... well, I thought I ought to say something. But of course, as long as you're willing to accept the consequences once you've made your decision...

[...Was that a threat? She just threatened me, right?]

Current Mood: pensive

dark_laughter

A game?!

For reals?

That's awesome! And here I was just thinking about how much you totally sucked eggs mun! I mean, you still smell and I still wanna throw you outta a ten story window just to see if you can bounce, but you're almost okay!

Oh wait, our Fearless Leader loser guy is there? Aw come on, do I have to see his ugly face everywhere I go?

[That's Dark Turtle-ese for "I miss my bro" for anyone who's wondering.]

Man that Wake place is stupid and you're stupid for making me want to go there! I hope you drown in your stupid stupidness.

There's food there?

Wait I change my mind I want to go!

Fearless Leader can kiss my shell if he wants any of my food.

aggraziato

Haste, make haste. You fancy reason, like the dottori? Hone a blade of it:

What is a man without his shadow? A farce.

What is a farce without everyone's laughter? An insult.

What is an insult against honour? A wound.

What is a wound on Cesare Borgia? Your body bloating adrift in the Arno. Have my word of it.

You see, Madonna? Logic. Your logic has it Cesare keeps his man of shadow, and I do not follow you in your whim. Is that not so? That is so.

notthatfenrir

Good. You finally threw me into that meme...playing off against a MCU Loki. Congratulations. [Sarcasm, what sarcasm?]

Now go to bed. It's not like your brain's working all that well right now anyway.

*snort* Gryffindor.

livinuptothename

Woah, lady, hold up. You're telling me after years of stringing me along and tossing me into the weirdest fucking one off situations ( yeah, by the way, I still remember that place that had like twelve of me, fuck off), you're finally putting me some place.

Because there's gonna be an evil dragon who you want me to be friends with.

Are you out of your fuckin' mind. I'm not makin' friends with some evil dragon. Who do I got there that I even know? Nobody, that's who. I'm not sayin' it's a big deal, but I'm not real keen on the idea of getting dropped into a different reality without a change of clothes and nobody who knows me. I guess B might have some kinda protocol for it, but I hardly ever see him around.

At least I won't have 200 people jumping on me the second I show up telling me how I'm gonna kick it.

vfranklinmott

I still say its a bad idea, but you're obviously not going to listen to me unless I'm agreeing with you.

Seeing Luke return is a surprise. A strange coincidence, actually. It still doesn't mean I want to go back there, but since I have to, at least there's familiar faces.

[Pause; considers.] Ones that won't want to attack me on sight, that is.

omegabound

...Oh. You're back.

[A pause]

Of course I'm not surprised. You and I both knew something like this was gonna happen. Oh, I'm all a twitter to see what you do to me this time.

Don't. I've done my piece.

failiciano

Mm, but, you can try now, right? I mean, you've still got the old tags from your friends and some newer ones you need to get to, too. . . ! Ve, you know your friends will reply if you get back to them.

You don't want to drop the tags--we all know that! I think you just needed a break! Even fun things get tiring after a while! Ve, but getting back "into the groove" is the problem now, right. . . ? Ve, ve, but that's with the old tags! New ones are fine, right? Even if some of them are kind of new. . . .

You just need better encouragement! You're tense and stressing yourself out over something you should be enjoying!! Just relax and do it! You know you'll enjoy it!

But turn off that awful German music, first, it isn't helping you any. No wonder you're so stressed out lately, listening to all of this. . . . Even English would help you more. . . !

Maybe a nice, warm bath would help you, too. . .ve. . .you just woke up from a nap. . .who naps at midnight, though!? You should go back to sleep! [And waste precious staring-at-tags-and-fretting-about-doing-them time? Never!] B-but if you go to sleep, I can go back to sleep, too!! I can't stay up if my mun won't!!! Ve, you're getting sleepy again already! [You aren't helping me fix my sleep schedule at all, Italy.]

colorofyourhair

Miss mun, it's highly improper of me or anyone else to look at a picture which exposes one's private matters.

[Jellal has to clear his throat before continuing.]

( Might contain some spoilers... )

stressturbating

Uh, yeah, finding Scott so soon great but creepy guy up top yeah, not so much. Thinking about having me come off with a smart remark about the ash being for sale online, another bad idea.

Geeze, you're worse at this than Scott and me, how about we stuff me back in the box, you know, the whole Inner Stiles thing, I'm cool with that....even if it is kinda weird, you know living in your head.

Right, you're not listening here are you, nope you're just going to load that next episode and keep reviewing so you can make my life worse. You're great, thanks, I appreciate it.

[Nooooot...]

pieinthesky

Mun, huh? You're not gonna send me anywhere right off the bat, right? I mean, I just got here! Gotta give me some time to stretch my wings!

I have some free time, so I can hang out here for a while. I dunno why you're so excited about bringing me here, but it doesn't look so bad. Might bump into a few familiar ponies. Just remember: you owe me a big apple pie for this!

bon_bon_bonjour

Perhaps, Monsieur Mun, you should wait until the special is available in a language you can understand.

Despite how things turned out, it was rather amusing to do that. C'était assez amusant. Maybe I should do it again. We cannot let ma puce have all the fun, can we?

And that shiny new pest will need to be dealt with as well.

I Really Do Not Understand Why You Feel The Need To Bother Me Again Now After All This Time

Its Rather Stupid

( Walking A6I3 spoiler for anyone who hasn't seen the update )

puppysitting

You really think this is a good idea in the first place? You're in college. It's your last year. And you really think you have time for two games? First the hesitation, and now you want to find another game. Your logic is... out there. That's for sure.

So you're just looking. Good. That'd probably be for the best.

agent_van_asshole

No. No.

It's not funny. It's not clever. I'm a federal agent, not a...

[A disgusted expression.]

That's enough.

brb_timefortea

Dear Miss Mun,

I'm aware that you seek to put me in a 'game' with 'castmates' however, should you not consider that perhaps you already have a lot on your plate to contend with? I should think that you would be satisfied in playing with me on memes and in that blasted hotel. Isn't that enough? You really do no have the time to be for frivolous with your time at the moment.

Yours Faithfully,

Alice Victoria Kirkland.

mera_mera_ace

So I want to take a moment to tell everyone how FREAKING AWESOME! my little brother is!

Lu', you are gonna be an awesome Pirate King! I know if anyone can fine One Piece it's gonna be you! So you just keep kicking ass and taking names and building your family to be strong. Never give up on your dream and remember, you got Marco and the others to help you out if you ever need it.

I can't wait to see what you do next! I only wish I could be there with you when you find it.

Current Mood: cheerful

straightbering

You can't be serious. Not only do you not have a plan, I'm pretty sure you don't have the clearance. Wait, why are you queuing up our first missions, again? Fine. Fine. I'm obviously not going to change your mind.

Current Mood: annoyed

lazygenius

Calm down, you're getting troublesome again. [But Shikamaru, you know you're excited too.]

houndmaster

So here we are again, mun. Bringing a magus of my upbringing to a place of commoners is pretty lame. How can you possibly think I'd enjoy being here in the slightest? Well, I better not complain too loudly or else you'll shove me in a kennel like the rest of your inactive pups.

Ne mun, while you're here, can we talk about that curse? Because I really don't think carrying around an additional burden in an alternate realm will do me any good. [ Even if it results in cool zombie-related shenanigans. ] There's more to me than just an ailment, don't you think?

bookpunching

You are rethinking of picking me back up, hmmm?

You must know that I have no unfinished business. All that I needed to have done, was.

I suppose there are worse things than being set on a shelf for an indeterminate amount of time...

And no, I do not miss anyone. That has nothing to do with my complacency in the matter of being dragged about where you wish to drag me off to.

Please.

The very idea.

twotailmechanic

I know you're excited at the possibility of finally driving me insane, but calm down. That virus you want is currently losing in the polls you know. Even if I did go crazy, what would that accomplish aside from worrying people again? You don't even know if anyone would snap me out of it if that did happen.

...Yes I know, but like he said, it's only a temporary situation until my job is done. No I would never work for Eggman willingly. You know that! Besides, it's not like I can back out now. Yeah, I know I'm being selfish. I admitted that when I explained my wish, but I've been fighting Eggman so long it's starting to become a chore. It's not like I can quit and abandon Sonic like that. I could never do that, you should know this too.

[Somebody's been feeling lonely.]

What does feeling lonely have to do with this? Also, I'm fine mun.

[No he's not.]

Current Mood: tired

quickly

THANKS, LOSER.

Thanks a whole fuckin' lot. You missed the signups! Now I can't do anything. Might as well drop me now, 'cause I refuse t'sit around wastin' away 'cause you were too busy t'take five minutes and sign me up for this event.

I guess ya could look at that 'app me please' thing for a new game for me, but it's not like you'll remember t'sign me up for their shit either!

Geez. I wonder what I did t'get stuck with the worst mun ever.

fairing

So after a year of not looking at my canon or even thinking about it, you start to notice all the HINABN muses popping up out of nowhere and decide to pick me up. That's lovely hun, especially since I probably have the most background history out of the others.

But really....let's be honest here. I know you. You have other muses you have fun with. You will totally forget about me and move on. Maybe one day you'll pick me up for a meme and have fun for a while until you stop replying.

( she pauses. )

Negativity aside, I think it's cute you ship me with both seal-boy and vampire-guy.

mountain_sage

Lady Mun...

We've been together for a long time. I am grateful for my experiences, but I find myself looking back on my homeland of late. Lady Myrrh, Gerik, Ewan, Princess Eirika...how I miss them all.

Hmm? You will attempt to seek them out and lead them to

luceti and

fedressing? Thank you. That would be helpful. I wish you the best of luck, Lady Mun.

Current Mood: hopeful

[He's not dignifying this topic with the effort it takes to make a verbal response, but it does earn an annoyed clenching of fist.]

crownless_king

Great. Chucklefuck is going full retard with excitement right now. Where the hell is Robert Downey Jr. to reel this jackass in? Come on, internet. I need a RDJ in blackface on the double! None of this Iron Man crap. Blackface or bust!

And I thought I was excited by that reserve. A zombie slaying, chainsaw wielding cheerleader? What's not to fucking love about that? But you could at least keep it to a level that doesn't require police intervention. So just calm your tits already, would you?

Or don't. I'm a video game character, not a cop.

insignificantly

As usual, you debate too much.

If you're honestly this off-set, it's questionable whether you had a firm idea of my character in the first place. I told no lies, my dear mundane -- actions are all that matter, remember? As I've clearly stated before, words are meaningless, and that is all an identity is: words. Your obsession with the small details is no more relevant.

So do us both a favor and stop with these games of back-and-forth. I hate wasted potential as much as you do; nothing has changed between you and I. My goals are the same, as are yours. Don't create issues where there are none.

...But go ahead and update my icons if it really bothers you that much.

doubledragon

Don't worry about it so much, mun; I'm not that complicated, am I? Just another swordsman going through life. I don't think you have to play through the entire game again just to get used to me; maybe all you need is a little practice. You won't get anywhere if you don't take that first step...

...no, I'm actually used to having Gyoro and Ururun around; they don't worry me as much as they did when it happened. Besides, I'll have a lot more to worry about if I end up in that city.

metal_messiah

Took you long enough to start talking to me again. Just wish it wasn't the idea of sending me somewhere that was the reason. As places go it doesn't seem to bad. It's not a bombed out wasteland so that's a step up from the places you usually send me. Downside, it's kind of normal. Okay yeah, you have a bunch of crazy superhumans running around, but the world's intact. People get up in the morning and go to work and go home to watch TV.

Do you really think I'm going to do well in a place like that? I haven't seen normal in almost fifteen years. It's just been one long non stop war and you know how much just a year of that can screw someone up when you send them back to the real world. Now multiply it. Yeah, I can adapt. I always do. It's still going to be a shock though. Makes me think of how it must have been for Kyle when he went back. To see all of it there again. Intact, alive.

Also let's not forget there's a crazy machine in charge of things. Sure, I believe what you're saying about everyone else that's tried to take her down. That's not going to change my mind. Someone has to do it.

So you still want to do this?

feathercappedking

What was it you called yourself again, young lady? "Mundane?" Well, I'm sure there's hardly anything mundane about you.

Now, about this game you've been talking about. Pardon me for saying so, but I can't help but notice you seem to be a little nervous about it. But I wouldn't worry about a thing. These are your friends, right? I'm sure they'll understand if we need a little time to get used to each other.

And don't worry about me. I'm used to this sort of thing, and I'd love the chance to go on another adventure.

thethird

If I tell you I'm excited, you'll get your panties in a twist. If I tell you I'm not, you'll get your panties in a hopeless twist.

Funny thing, Fraülein. Your panties reflecting the situation so accurately.

Except that, either way, I'm the loser.

Danke sehr und liebe Grüße,
Florian

vulgar_amylum

Yeah, yeah. Okay, I admit that this time, I'm a teeny tiny, itty bitty bit impressed with this journal name you came up with for me. Sure, the other two you've got are good and peachy but this one is kinda perfect. I approve!

But hey, here's a TOTALLY CRAZY THOUGHT. Like, MIND BLOWING LEVELS of crazy.

Maybe you should, y'know. Actually do something with me and this sweet username now. WHOA, I KNOW. That's just totally out there. ALL KINDS OF WILD AND WACKY. I'm not saying I want to necessarily be thrown in a game (though hey, that'd be awesome. I'm kinda a bit jealous of all the fantastical adventures the other me gets to go on) but you getting your butt in gear and actually tagging Bennett back in a reasonable fashion would be a good start.

So yeah. Get on that. I'd try to threaten you but...eh. You can almost be Adelle-levels of scary sometimes! And I'm..not really looking to invoke your wrath, my lovely mun-friend.

equalityforall

I am pleased to see you are doing this at last.

However, you need to take take this one step at a time.

bloodpiece

You still seem to be harbouring doubts, despite that I've proven myself to be untrustworthy in many respects. What do you intend to do now that you've brought me out again? There won't be much left to salvage once I'm finished, I'm not yet done.

totallynotbatman

So, you finally saw the latest film and you just thought you'd bring me back out to play? I told you, I don't want to play. I'm done. You can't make me do anything.

Yes, I understand the fact that you brought me---

But--

But--

It's unfortunate that you don't listen.

bring_em_down

You're too excitable. I mean, it's one thing to be happy, and it's something else entirely to be shaking like a teacup chihuahua.

Do you even have a to-do list anymore? By the way, that app is due this week. I can't write it for you, and you can't write me worth a damn right now. Get it together, or we're screwed. Royally screwed.

I'm making you make coffee.

sweetsweetdevil

[Devil stands here, grinning as usual, though he noticeably looks a bit roughed up, like he got into a bit of a tussle with somebody. His bright red hair is a bit messy and his clothes have some dust on them. And he's got his beloved Gloomy Bear with him, held snugly in one arm. He giggles happily.] I beat Prussia in making a post~ HAH! You're still mine, Munnie~ I knew it~

Anyway~ Hullo~ [He waves.] I like that you've been giving me a lot of attention, even if you don't let me out as much as you could. 'Tis fine~ No hard feelings~ No spilled blood~ I'll get my time eventually. Ah and wait a tick, why yes! I'm having it now!

[He snuggles Gloomy Bear to him a bit thoughtfully as he hums in, well, thought. What is he here to say?] Oh, yes! Do not worry about me! I'll be fine, right as rain, soon enough~! One doesn't die from a broken heart unless you let it, I think. And I most certainly am stronger than how I look! I'm old, poppet, though I look plenty cute for my age, I know. And I'm an Imp! That must count for something, eh? Resilient lot, us demons. So no fretting. Save it for the Englands for they probably need it more than I do. England needs his America, the Empire is a mean, bitter arsehole and the Pirate and Alice both need a shag each, so yes! Focus most of your fretting on them!

[He grins again, amused at himself, before sighing and resting his chin over Gloomy Bear as a more serious mood takes him again.] I just wish he'll be fine, though. He would be, yes? Won't he, Munnie? Jersey... [With that, the Devil trails off, looking to the side at perhaps something only he can see. Fingers gently play with the plush toy's bloody claws as he lets his mind wander. Again.]

slyest

You understand, do you not, that I care nothing for the meager delights of Midgard. What the simpering mortals consider enjoyable are nothing compared to the greater pleasures found elsewhere in the universe.

With that in mind, you would do well to cease these tedious attempts at introducing me to their culture. I care not, nor shall I, despite the lengths to which you go to make it so that I do.

Play your feeble games elsewhere. I am not as easily manipulated as you. And I’ve not forgotten my true goal.

spireguard

I suppose it's nothing new, my fate being up to your choices, but you are pulling me in several very different directions, miss, and... well. Maybe you should have thought it out first. There's no campaign here. No quest. Even you doubt whether anyone will want to "play" with me (a term which I find laughable at best and highly offensive at worst) in this medium.

I will say that even with all the strange company I've traveled with, the other voices in your head are some of the oddest characters I've ever met. Talking ponies? Really? Though I would like to spar with that dark haired fellow, if it wouldn't be ...what was the term? Self-cest? Really.

captain_asshole

Do I look like I care? You want to drop it, then drop it. What's with the sudden attack of the caring? Right..

fangbang

No. Just- no.

Look, mun. I'm a busy person. Why in the hell are you dragging me out? I have things to do so leave me alone.

sneezeslikeakitten

Okay. Mun. Level with me here. Logically speaking it was only a matter of time before you finally caved in and posted with me. And I guess I should be saying thanks or something for that, right?

Right, so, thanks. I think. Anyway!

I just have one tiny problem.

Did you really have to give me such a dumb power? Seriously! There's what, a cornucopia of awesome and amazing superpowers that you could of pulled from and you gave me something like this?! It's like you're purposely trying to make my life miserable or something!

Wait, you are?

onlywaytolive

Look, it's not that I have a problem with the idea. I don't. I should be with Abby. But...the fact is, you don't have a computer right now. You can't put me in there yet. So why keep talking about it? Be patient, okay? I really want to go be with my sister too, but it will happen in time.

What? What do you mean I'll need a life outside of my sister? I've never needed that before.

has_no_form

...They are not of the Iga clan. I have no interest in them or 'educating' them as a shinobi.

You are an idiot.

charge_sword

...No, I don't think a 'red hot artificial person threesome' is the solution to all my problems.

knightinredemption

That's being a little rash isn't it?

[ A chuckle. Followed by a small smile. ]

You've barely just gained me as a muse and yet you wished to come out here and do this so soon. Wouldn't it be better to wait until you're further ahead in ah... 'canon' before you do anything? You may just confuse yourself or spoil yourself for things to come, but... I admit I am happy you could still pick up someone like me as a muse.

Especially after having seen how I was in the past.

hallmonitoring

Mundane-san! How do you expect to manage yourself effectively with such a messy inbox? Disorder breeds nothing but chaos, you must rectify this situation immediately!

How do you expect to find time for your studies if you cannot even manage that task?

You say school doesn't start for almost another week? Nonsense! It is necessary to keep your mind sharp by studying during the summer break as well! Being a student is considered a full time job for good reason!

elegantpunk

I appreciate how ambitious you are in preparing me for this, but you're going about this the wrong way.

Aren't you supposed to work on my voice before you make these decisions? Really. You're either frustratingly indecisive or thoughtlessly impulsive. Perhaps you need to find some sort of middle ground between these two- no, not "perhaps". Please do. It'd be to the benefit of us both.

And no, I don't sound "close enough" to him! He may not be all that bad... maybe... if I'm feeling generous- but you'd have to be a fool to not see how we're different!

Hmph.

... can't believe it, of course it's my luck...

[Alice sighs, shakes her head a bit, and crosses her arms.]

Regardless. It's a lesson learnt for the future, isn't it? We'll just have to work with this as we go now.

And stop staying up so bloody late. That ought to help.

devil_within

Yes, it's in. And her's isn't. You did not expect it to be in at least a month after I was accepted, if I get accepted.

She's better off wherever she is now. Away from me.

I think we have issues.
