I'd say it's nice of you to think of me, but it isn't, not really. You just want to put me through the same hell you put all your other precious little characters through. Just because I'm your own... creation doesn't make it any different.

I... appreciate that you're writing our story, but you can't take me away from it.

You can't.

There's too much to do, too much going wrong because of...

...and you know I can't leave my sister. You know that.

So why are you thinking about doing it?

oizumi

What's this all of a sudden...? [can you see the fumes?] Why you..!

[3...2...1] HOW CAN YOU ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN YOU JUST A SECOND AGO YOU WERE GOING TO TELL ME EVERYTHING!? [deep breaths. in and out, in and out.]

Just so that Otani can get the better of me... Don't pretend it's for the sake of my voice.

Haaaaah. Lucky for me not even manly girl like you would be interested in that guy. I'm saved!

mildsevens

I'd rather not.

...

[ Exhales. Rearranges his thoughts. Tries again. ]

I apologize. That's not- a courteous way to respond, is it?
Perhaps I should try again.

[ This is tiresome, and it shows. There's difficulty in pretending to care when trivial notions of consideration drain one, body and soul. ]

Should someone seek companionship, then I'd advise taking up ownership of something small enough to keep on either a leash or within a cage. If there's an urgent need for confessions to be admitted and atoned for; then a priest is in order.

In the situation where a person may require a man named Sumeragi Subaru- I need not participate in such an endeavor.

To do so would...
It'd not be entirely accurate. And I would prefer not to lie.

falsememoriesofmurder

Out of a-all the points you c-could have taken me out of...y-you chose this?[Just in a corner crying his eyes out over the fake memories he has been forced to believe are true.He didn't want to remember the murders, he didn't want to be this cold blooded. How had he enjoyed murdering people? That wasn't his character but he could still feel the joy at the memories and it scared him to no end]

ex_graybird839

I'm not feeling the aster on this time travel business. Impulse already took a big risk when he tried it, and if I get stranded there too? What then?

We have too many plans in motion right now for me to just disappear.

robin_under_the_hood

No, I really don't care what your arguments are, Dick and anyone else from back home will just get in my way.

It won't be cute. There won't be puppies and rainbows. So just cut it out now.

Your plans for me are ridiculous anyhow. Its going to take me months to make sure your stupid 'shipping' doesn't go as planned. And then there's the runt who may show up in a few months.

This is honestly the last thing I need.

Though...if you'd like to send the Joker my way, then I might get to have some fun at least.

badabingbadaboom

Yeah, now we're talkin. Gettin' outta this dusty headspace 'n going to a game, gettin' to go Blast Mode on some punks. This'll be great.

I mean sure, I'll miss Ai 'n Mako, but I know where we're goin' ain't no place for little kids. They'll be better off at home.

undisguised

Thanks, for seeing this through. [More'n what I've done for the kids.]

Don't worry 'bout me. Things'll work out fine. Even if it takes years, which it will.

[Given his expression and tone, he doesn't really think it will. But he doesn't really trust himself right now. Doesn't trust himself at all, really. He doesn't know why he said any of that.]

Didn't turn out like I'd hoped. But then, nothing ever does.

Wonder if she thinks what he does.

Guess I'll find out soon enough.

[After a long, silent moment:]

Despite what Nova said, he's right. He's right about more than she thinks. ... I'm leaving, even now.

Anyway. That's neither here nor there. Good luck with the new kid, whoever it'll be.

nickthedick

Listen, champ. I was done with the crazy shit the minute I got off that bridge, so why don't you do both of us a favor and not do this?

Oh, and the username? Hope you weren't going for a subtle jab, cause it's about as subtle as a freakin' Tank.

honorable_thief

Miss Mun...Are you sure this is such a good idea?

I appreciate you taking an interest in me, but it's alright if maybe you think you made the wrong choice. After all, it's an honest mistake. I'm not exactly well known.

Nervous...? Well, I suppose I should be more than you. Who knows who I am to meet here? But, if you try hard and give it your best, then I don't think you'll have anything to worry about.

notahawkingbird

So.

tushanshu, eh?

[Small smile.]

Don't even try with the excuses because that little print-out of pretty much everything about the game snuck out from the office printer?

Come on.

tinyinventor

Gee Willikers! Sure didn't expect any of this to happen. With huge place like this, I'll definitely find the parts I need to make a duplicate of the Ranger Plane. And don't worry, mun - I know my last invention didn't turn out the way it was supposed to, but making the Ranger Plane will be a piece of cake.

And golly, you think I'll see Monty and Zipper around here, too? It was awfully swell to see the boys again. We can get the gang back together and go back to what we do best!

painintheass

So wait...what? You want to throw me into a house with strangers but without my back problems? What about Jenna and Marcus and Henry? They'll come looking, you know! I'm important to them now. Now just some dumb annoying kid any more!

Are you listening to me?

theintern

Come on, I don't think missing one episode is really that big of a deal. It'll probably be online next week, so chill out, okay?

Really, it's fine, I'll wait for you to catch up; or we can just jump right in. Whatever you want, cowgirl.

fifth_kazekage

…Mun. I am injured, not dead. [Yet.] Your hysterics are unnecessary.

[When he hears the next suggestion, Gaara closes his eyes for a moment and starts rubbing his temples.]

I am not going to keep elderly women around me for revival purposes. [Confused blink.] …What is an “Oedipus complex”?

Current Mood: blank

vestigialdream

[Once again, this entry is written, not spoken:

"Miss Mun,

NO. I endured your desire for 'shenanigans' during the Shadow event. However, the idea that Lezard's mun came up with...no, I refuse to endure such a thing.

Please do not even consider it. Find someone else, or enter me to the randomizer; I will not permit such a thing.

Thank you for understanding.

-Platina"]

heroiccia

Seriously mun? Ya actually got me some new pics~? So Awesome! You didn't have to though, ya know. But it's still pretty bad ass of you to!

vigilantic

Was that really necessary to 'get that out of your system?'

[Yes, yes it was. I wasn't going to give up that perfect opportunity. :|]

[Sigh.]

You're really somethin', you know that? That's it. I'm cursed. I'll never be rid of it.

[Complain all you want. I don't care. That was a fun dream to write up anyway.]

1000_needles

[Busting through the fourth wall.]

Ge-Ka!

alltostopentities

First, you attempt to join that city of ink-filled potential impostors with that chaotic, homicidal AI. And are rejected due to your lack of detail and preparation.

Then, you succeed in joining the ark filled with the multiverse's champions - using a man whose story you know only know ONE portion of clearly. And even with the excuse you gave, and even with all your time, you FAILED to utilize him properly until it was too late.

And now, out of all the others you could have considered, you've decided on me.

You lack both the knowledge and the resources to craft a game similar to the ones you've visited.
You have neglected to watch my last encounter with the previous Champion who... inconvenienced me.

(You mean who kicked your ass up and dow-GERK)
THE ONLY REASON HE SUCCEEDED WAS BY SHEER LUCK! WERE IT FOR ANY OTHER FACTOR, LINKARA WOULD BE GONE, AND I COULD TRULY FOCUS MY EFFORTS ON CONQUERING THIS PLANET AND PREPARING IT TO COMBAT THE ENTITY!!

And yet because you decide to imagine a major role for me in this... concept of your's, you believe that I am helpless and you have control? Are you that deluded to believe that ONE Champion succeeded where I failed?!?!?

(err, actually your wrong about the first and third parts)
...what?
How...?

Ah...I see.
Very well mundane. Do not delude yourself into thinking you have power over me.
But if you go forward with what you intend... Then I'll play your game.

For now.

perfect_shoes

What do you mean "how could I not have expected it?" Despite my endless charms, she is, of course, Mary Shelley, even if at the current moment she is actually Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. She must get married to Percy, if not for history, then at least for the snappier name. Besides, you've heard - she never shuts up about him.

... I haven't been flirting. Blimey, you humans, you read into everything, don't you.

Anyway, it was only the one time.

whathehellisagigawatt

... Mundane, may I ask why I am in Doc's body? I mean, I do not mind being suddenly human, of course, but of all bodies to pick...

Well, I am sure it will only be temporary, correct? Though, knowing what people have been saying over the network about Jason...

Bah! I will have fun with this as long as I can! I do have to wonder, though, who got my body. And teach them my weapons system to prevent destruction.

boltstrike

I can't help but wonder why you're so nervous. New things don't have to be scary. I think they're exciting, actually. If you want to try this, I'm not going to stop you.

Don't give up, okay?

arcofiron

Mundane. Listen here. I dunno what kind of party you've been at.
But I'm insulted you didn't invite me.

Next time. Please remember me. It's no fun being stuck inside

shipsit

Mun!

Why is Mr. Nick with that girl with the weird orange hair?! He's not betraying Mystic Maya, is he? Because if he is... I will never forgive him!

butaservant

I do not think this is going to work. Who would even recognize me? I am, after all, but a servant.

I am content to be unrecognized, don't you know that by now? I only wish to look after the manor. These games do not interest me at all.

I know you have heard this many times before, but I do hope you will listen this time. Even though I know already that you will not.

dotingyankee

Well Well, it's certainly been a long time don't you think? Glad you decided to let me stretch out my legs again. It was getting cramped back there. A little while longer and I might have had to fight my way out.

[ Snooort. ]

So what are your plans anyway? Got the icons down, and the name. Guess your next focus is a game or one of those meme things? Anything to cure this boredom.

Whatever I'm just glad to be out.

handsy

I'm getting tired of this constant mind changing. Make a decision and stick with it, and if you don't like the outcome than that's your own fault.

gothics

...Mun-san, are you sure about this? I wouldn't mind getting out more often, but--

I don't know. I suppose I have no choice in the matter, do I?

abitofawildman

Look, it's not that I don't appreciate the attention, because we both know that I do. I'm flattered that you've taken an interest in an old man such as myself, and it speaks volumes of your impeccable taste.

However, you do realize how screwed you're going to be this time next April, right?
When this clever house of cards you've built for me inevitably turns out to be nothing what-so-ever like what my actual life looks like.

I could have kids. A wife. Far fewer daddy issues.
You have no idea, because you thought two references and all of ten seconds of screentime would make for an awesome character concept.

I'm not saying you're wrong in your assumption, I'm just trying to warn you: You're about to get Joss'd.

And hard.

But if you're okay with that, then I guess I am too.

robinred

Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but just don't.

With this canon point you've singled out-- this isn't going to work in anyone's favor. You haven't picked me up in well over a year. You forgot about me. . . .That's fine. But don't you think you can just waltz back and take control. It doesn't work that way.

botvanwinkle

Excuse me, mun? Hello? Hi. Nothing much, just wanted to know - are you sure about this? You know less about what's going on than I do, which is saying something.

I'm not trying to be ungrateful, I just think that maybe you should think this through a little. I mean, I'm still getting used to living six million years in the future and you're getting used to living with your new crew.

Can't we just keep this simple? I was just starting to feel I was really a part of something with the Lost Light. I don't want to have to start all over again.

So why don't we ease into this, okay?

anewbeginning

Bad things are about to happen, aren't they? People are going to get hurt. I don't like this...

mepoormoira

I didn't start off in the best place'o ye' mind, mundane; don't see how ye can raise me up from those dumps. A'hm not even a real, just some silly nonsense.

Felt all real to me though; that fat-cat waltzes on into our lives and murders us in front'a Atlas' eyes. Can't say I want'a remember.

Just get me someplace away from Rapture an' I'll be in ye' debt.

michaels_sword

All right, now listen up. I'm not gonna sit by and watch while you do this to yourself. You're startin' to pick up some of my bad habits, and that's gotta stop. Trust me, I know. You don't wanna be me.

I'm wonderin' why the hell you don't just join one of those games. It's been, what, a year? So what if you end up losing interest after a couple months? At least you tried. Better than what you've been doin', anyway. Hell, I'll even suck it up and let you stick me in one of those shitty "alternate universes" if that'll do the trick. But hey, I won't be offended if you pick that blond guy instead. Just... do something.

You're a smart chick. Something'll turn up for you soon. Just hang in there.

precocialghul

I don't see the reason for you waiting an entire term to app me. You want to app me and I want to get out of this boring headspace. It's something we both want. Besides, if you can juggle all those plots in that ridiculous invasion scenario you have going on, I believe it proves you can send one more person easily.

Just think on it, alright mundane? I'm sure you'll see you can do it. So stop being so cautious and just do it.

trixortreats

Mundane, dear - If you think you may have bit off more than you can chew by taking on me, that's possibly the most intelligent thought you've had in a good long while. At least you know your place - such as it is. [Beneath her feet, most likely.]

And as for whatever plans you may have for me - I hope for your sake, this 'intelligent' trend continues. As long as I don't have to return to Hogwarts, we should be fine.

sentryslinger

You know Miss Mundane, I hope you don't mind me makin' a suggestion, but you might be less tired if ya went to bed at a decent hour. You're up at all night, then you've got all kinds of work to do every day. Ain'tcha ever heard of "early to bed, early to rise"?

Well yeah, I know the rest of it goes "makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise," but that don't mean it can't apply to ladies like yourself, too. My point is that you oughtta be gettin' more rest than you are. That much is just common sense.

Wake up, now. Were you listening through that yawn?

nice_hat

Healing magic? Are you stupid?! I am the greatest sorcerer in existence! I don't care about your precious 'random number generator', change it! Right now! It's an insult to my abilities!

Another thing: what's a 'vampire' and why are you so enthralled with the idea of turning me into one? It's outside a game anyway, it won't make any difference. Besides, I have all the power I could ever want. Why would I want to be a 'vampire'?

liugan

I think it looks ridiculous.

You've another year to find out if what you perceive and predict is correct- but ah, patience never was your strong suit.

didnotknow

I don't want to do this again. Listen, you always say you're going to do things with me, you talk about it, you open the file to start an application, and you...don't. I'm not insulted, not with these places you've looked into, but you don't have to do anything with me now.

Or ever, actually. Are we done yet?

antilles

Well! Yes! I'm glad you remembered this account! Though, ah, I seem to remember you were thinking about using it for my brother, or one of my nieces.

You know even if you don't do that, you could remake these icons. I saw that wince. Square icons without borders are "in" now.

stormbrewed

Thy choice of using his face for mine concerns me not, mun. Thou dost fixate too deeply on something so trivial. Worriest thou on matters more urgent, more of consequence, for thy choice to take me hither or nay doth concern me most directly, not which face doth don my visage so. Thou mayest place me a multitude of worlds. While thou dost take thine time in deciding I have other matters to attend to for ne'er is The Mighty Thor complacent, all I ask of thee is that thou chooseth wisely.

splendens

It's o—kay if you don't have time. I don't mind! You can stop doing that stuff, and do this instead!

—How could it not work like that? Why, why? You don't really do things, so I know you're not busy! A~ahh, you shouldn't pretend! And don't say, 'for-ev-er a-lone.' If we get along together, I know you'll be happy. I know that!

alesserequalist

Then I will have to deal with being blind. I don't even know if it's reverable at this point. It will kill me eventually.

Current Mood: blank

immortalrose

While we don't always see "Eye to Eye" most of the time, I must say I'm overjoyed to see that we've finally came to an agreement. I suppose being the so called "Angel of Death" isn't so bad, although I would rather be simply a Guardian Angel instead.

I'm not fond of the tasks you would have me do under such a title but at least we've finally come to terms with each other.

Now tell me, when will you have your latest masterpiece finished? I've seen you're altered some aspects of my appearance...

[ Sighs ]

Again.

lighteningcount

Dear mun,

How many times have we gone over this? You simply do not have time for a game. I know you'd like it, especially if you found me a Treize or Noin. But you work 40 hours a week, volunteer with two conventions and you sew commissions.

No. No. No.

Please think of your sanity.

Zechs

Current Mood: aggravated

cuttheodds

Were expecting something else? I don't do the glorious work of conversion. I consider myself a woman of plans, not action.

Sorry if I disappoint, but from the looks of it disappointment is something you invite often.

vlad_taltos

Let's be honest here, since we're all among friends.

If I could, I would put a knife in your left eye and be done with it. Seeing as how that apparently isn't an option, there are a few... issues that need to be addressed.

I've been looking around in here, and apart from the fact that you are an absolute mess I've noticed some tendencies. For one you seem a little obsessed with pairing your 'muses' up with people.

What in Verra's name is a muse anyway?

Never mind. You are aware that I have a wife, yes? I know things are kind of rough between us at some points but I do love her.

As for these 'games', as I understand it I'd be in them without Loiosh and you can just forget that one right away, all right? It's not happening.

Let's see, what else... yes, I did also note that there are a lot of us in here. Kind of cramped, to tell you the truth and while they're all lovely people I'm sure, none of them are my wife, my familiar or any other of my friends.

So, how about you just let me go on back home, and entertain yourself with those splendid others instead?

I don't know about you but that sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.

manipulatedthefool

...A setback; that is what this event is. Nevertheless, you will not have me gallivanting around like a hero.

...

But of course, arguing with you would be pointless, wouldn't it? Just like the voices in my head.

[They just. Can't. Stop. Talking.]

milletian

Hey, mun. Been a long time, hasn't it? I've grown up since we last met. But it just won't do, being this old. Everyone else has already rebirthed and started over again. And things have changed since the last time you've seen Eladh. Lots of things.

So what're you waiting for? Let's do this game thing right for once!

From,
Kel

hulk

Th- W- You're--

[ He sighs and rubs at his temples before starting again, slowly. Like he's talking a freshman out of going for that English Lit major. ]

N- Actually, you know. If you were to do that, we'd... That would be a separate issue and not the one I'm trying to address right now, so. Focusing.

You flubbed the activity check at one game and are on the way to fixing that. You are trying to get back into the swing of things at another, which, you know. Kind of invested in things with the City and the various people there and would prefer you to start lining your ducks there. The metaphorical du- Stop that. I'm trying to focus here, all right? You put in another application to somewhere else which is... on the back of a giant turtle, that's its own set of issues and I don't even know where that's going.

And n- A fourth game. Fourth. Plus all the private stuff that doesn't really bear discussing here. Or... You know. Anywhere? Least my preference as far as that's concerned. And it's the Barge, where I've been before? And n- You're just. You've been told what kind of problems the others are dealing with there, and you think I'm somehow going to get them all on the same page? Just-- Are you realizing who you're talking to here? Because, uh, I'm only barely scraping by on the possible hero scale, much less the whole. Cheerleader kind of rally thing you're thinking of. That's more Steve than anybody else, and do you need the collated report on how I'm not Captain America? Because I can get you that. Won't take a couple minutes to type up, I swear.

...Look, now, just. Take a breath, slow down, and focus on the things you have now. Also school. School is a big thing here that you're pretty much not taking into consideration at all, with reports and midterms and all that which you can't just do by the seat of your pants. ...No, never mind that it's worked for you so far. D- I'm not saying no, not explicitly no, just. Maybe not right now.

You'd have thought that he'd fall in love with Tony instead of Bucky, right? But eh, the guy has his choices.

Also, remind me to tell Stark to disarm the Iron Cat suit. Natasha's cat should never have that kind of weaponry.

Okay, so, it looks like I'm not going to be the main character in this one... But that's okay. I mean - isn't that to be expected? Mr. Wright's a famous attorney, after all. (Well, infamous might be a better word to use, but...) Of course people are going to be interested in him.

Anyways, I'm fine with it. Really. [ he might be saying that rather forcefully, though. and, well, frankly also unconvincingly. ] It's not like they can just write me out completely, right? As long as I show up at some point, that's -

... What do you mean, it's totally possible that they could just write me out completely?

It's almost over. One step at a time.

Do you know how many times I've told myself that? It's like a bloody broken record in my head.

Yeah yeah. I know the answer to that. You don't have to give me that look. Stupid question, really.

You always are a sucker for a good redemption story, aren't you sweetheart?

[Pause.]

Alright, let's do this then. Find me a place, and let's work on making amends in regards to this whole mess with Kid Zoom. I'm an accessory, and I don't like it on my conscience. Not when I'm supposed to be the one Rogue who reformed.

I think we have issues.
