Well—there are a few things I could do right now. I could tell you what I told Nick before. I could recommend a few books to help.

But that's playing into your hands, isn't it?

Ah, it's not that this isn't flattering—really, it is. But if that's the idea behind—talking again, I'd be more flattered, I think, once I'm not playing rival to. . . what was it you called it? "Reading the dullest dullard ever to have dulled the dull since dull became dulling"?

. . . you know, I'm not completely sure I can work that one out.

arcinvent

Alright, I know about your plan. How you want me to zoom into the future about 30 or so years. 1974 was it? Temporarily, thankfully, but I need to get some things straight with you about why this is a bad idea to begin with. Follow along and listen good sweetheart.

First problem: How I look. Not that's is particularly bad but really? This is my future? The future is looking bleaker with every second that ticks down. It's no wonder I settle down with how my looks are failing me over the years.

Second problem: I'm married. Married. The girls aren't going to appreciate that and neither am I. I rather not cross that bridge until I get to it at my own pace. If that takes thirty years then so be it. Just glad I haven't met this woman yet. [Because, lets face it, marriage is for losers.]

Third problem: This is not nearly as far as I want to go into the future! Yes the 70's are a great leap from the 40's, but 2012 is even greater than that! Yes I know I'm dead by that point, but there must be something that can be done. The limitations put on by what time period I was born in isn't fair.

[SIGH. But...there is one more thing.]

And, for both our benefits, lets not get into the fourth problem. The you-know-what problem. ...Not catching my drift? Starts with a T, ends with Stark. That problem. Just because I acknowledge him doesn't mean I have to like the prospect. Can't believe that, with all my parenting, he becomes...well you know what I mean. Wonder what that says about me?

[Not very good things he's sure. Well, he never did see himself as much of a father.]

That all said, has my point been made? Yes it has. Will you still go along with your schemes? Almost definitely. Glad we had this chat! [He claps his hands together.] Now where's the bar in this joint? I'm feeling parched.

theglue

Which position deals with "more dangerous creatures" is a statistic that changes day-to-day, ma'am. If you want me to lean one way or the other, you'll have to be more straightforward about it.

Assigned to Gryffindor, though. Not a bad choice. Enjoy playing it while it lasts.

We can discuss your prior obligations and time management skills next time. [ s m i l e s. ] I appreciate your cooperation.

deputy_mayor

Are you finished yet? I'm glad you decided to play me again, but I do have work to do. ~~And you don't have to go posting in that place again.~~

Hello, Mun.

I don't understand why you insist I call you by that abbreviation. It hardly resembles your real name.

However, that is not of import for now. What is of grave importance are the noises you keep making over my predicament. I understand that your inability to make choices is an unfortunate character trait that is not likely to change. But dragging me through "memes" for your "amusement" at my lack of "people skills" hardly seems a suitable solution. I'm an angel of the Lord, not a toy.

Regarding your doubts. Someone has paid for this account. I am aware that you don't think you do me justice, but you do. Have some faith. Even Dean is capable of that much.

I suggest you just find Dean, and maybe Sam, or others I know, and let me join them.

remembermeandrun

Look.

I know it's a bit hard to get me involved while I'm stuck in the Asylum still and with Chinboy and his billionaire philanthropist friend gone, but you've got to at least try.

It's getting awfully dusty up here, and if you've got it in your head that you're just going to keep me stuck up here, you're madder than I thought.

healingkindness

Mun... ah. Well, I'm glad that you want to play me! Really! But... are you sure you know what you're doing? Especially with how busy you are...

... plus, I don't appear as often as Shu or Inori, too. Are you okay with that?

... ah, well. If you're sure. I don't want to stop you... I wonder if we'll see anyone I know here?

... Shu... I'm sorry...

taketheride

Jesus Christ... you've gone off the deep end. You can't really be thinking about jumping back on this night train again, can you? All roads lead to this one, they always do. I've never left, man. I'm always the itch at the part of your back that you can't quite scratch. You can't get rid of me.

But you're not ready. Give yourself some time. Anything that's worth doing is worth doing right... and I will not be half-assed. Not now, not ever.

biologist

I know he'll take care of himself wherever he is, he's done it before. I trust Bruce to stay alive and safe. In any case, he's got his new friends to watch his back and, quite apart from being amazing superheroes? They're all wonderful people.

You really didn't need to drag me out like this.

cyphers

Oui ma petite chatte, what have you started? First with the laborer and now with me - you claim that I am the last but one can never be too sure.

...especially a spy.

Oh well, I may as well enjoy the time that we have...however extensive or brief.

deusrexmachina

Dude, wait. What? A two week hiatus? Even if it isn't happening until more like the start of November, that's still so close! Plus so much can happen in two weeks! All these cool new people arriving and you need to call a hiatus right after they get to Nautilus? Seriously?

Man. It figures you wouldn't give me the break I've been wanting until I don't actually want it. Not like it's news, but wow, mun. You really are horrible.

hoof_beats

It's nice that you are brain storming things again, but....I really don't understand why you keep to yourself like this. You're an interesting person, you should go out and meet with friends. And there's a play on Dracula? Not really a vampire or play person, but....maybe that can help you get out this month?

Heh, a place where I can have powers and all these weird, funny things huh? Cherrie might not appreciate it, but...would be nice to get out for me...

Current Mood: relaxed

styxandloans

Well, well, now that you've finished up the series, I guess you're going to proceed in your plans to play me, hm?

I can't say I'm surprised. But I am going to charge a small playing fee. Not much, just three hundred yen or so a month. You don't expect me to settle on an unpaid account, do you?

pinkaura

Oh gosh, your aura is just the saddest thing I've seen since... since forever. And that's a really bad thing. The others were totally right though and maybe when you feel better we could go back. That'd be fun, right? Right?

I mean, I know that this is just the saddest. My aura hasn't been the pink since because I'm going to miss the others so much. It's not like I can see Kanaya, Mako, Akito and the others back at home. And then there's Azula, too!

I think that one day I'd really like to meet them again. Just imagine how bright my aura would be!

fnfootloose

I don't know mun, this isn't on the same level as a secret dance party. If my parents check my room and I'm not there, I'll be grounded for the rest of the school year.

But if you say there's a chance to run into Kuzon, I guess I can stay for a little while.

punliners

Look, I get it, all right? You're working with the old man now, and he's one heck of a handful. Sure, I'm not a big fan of scoring second billing, but when you get right down to it... I don't really mind the vacation.

[pause.]

Wow, I actually just called Gotham a vacation. That's it, I'm officially losing it.

[HANDS IN THE AIR he is nhft.]

abby_mills

I'm really not amused that "this time of year" reminds you of me. What is that supposed to mean?

funnythingsare

You know, it's actually offensive. How often and vociferously you express your 'surprise' that you 'like [me] so much.' Of course you like me. I don't even see how this was ever a question. Whatever issue there was was entirely on your side--you don't have to keep going on about how shocking it is that you like playing Tony Stark so much.

Get over it, and keep writing the sex. The kinky stuff. We both know we both like it. At least then I don't have to listen to you and Captain Compassion act all shocked about my politics. See? Common ground. It's a good thing. Just stop insulting me with the weird 'how did this happen?' nonsense.

fastandsteady

Nice username, I will admit that.

...But you're looking at games again. I know you're just window shopping, but what if that 'want to app sensation' kicks in? You have more important things to worry about. Apping after college will probably be for the best! May is just around the corner anyways! This semester is going by super quick, and you'll be out of it in no time. Then it'll be Winter Break. Just... take it easy, yeah? Plus, who knows if the games you're looking at will be still there!

I feel like we've had this conversation too many times.

deluminators

What's so bloody hard about going in there and doing what you're supposed to be doing? So you write a few things out, let the Forge humiliate me, cause trouble with Malfoy's old man and Bellatrix - that's what you Muggles are best at doing in these sorts of situations, aren't you?

You really expect me to believe that leaving is what's best right now? Hermione's still there and Harry hasn't arrived yet. We're not leaving, not if I have a say in it. If you don't want me hexing your nose off your face - or worse - you'll come up with something.

[ Chop chop. ]

what_fourthwall

You drag me out for WHAT...

...

Oh~
Finally.

oathtotheking

Player-

You've committed yourself, already. If you want to seek a second game, even that will not be with me. I have work to do and a charge to fulfill; you can't just pluck me up to toy with because you're re-watching the series and you see him somewhere.

- Zero

demoncatfromhell

Go make dinner, yeah, it’s dinner time. Cook something. Better, don’t cook it. Take the raw meat and just bite into it, nice and fresh and juicy; sink your teeth in, that’s the way. Wrap it in bacon, yeah, and cover it with cheese. Pork. Beef. Salmon, yeah, salmon. Salmon and bacon.

No.

Cauliflower is not food. Well… Maybe, if you deep-fat fry it, coat it with butter, and wrap it in bacon. Yeah, go do that. I’ll wait. Internet’s not going anywhere.

Go eat. Meat will distract you from anxiety, yeah, totally. Trust me. Chin up. It's just hell anyway. So Bending means an infinite supply of food and I can sleep all day, and I can stalk demons the like of which I've never seen before. So they got a tree that grows burgers. I want it. I want it so bad. So they got a bunch of giant alien robots and fighter types and squishy, crunchy wizards. So what? Can't eat Cybertronains.

Can't do anything about it now. No point in worrying. Go eat. And sleep in a sunny spot, if Portland even has those.

martelapproves

She's... she's back... she's finally back...

See, mun? I told you... I told you she'd come back... I was right... y-you stupid humans tried to keep her from me, but you can't.

[ Sorry, it's kind of a surreal moment for Mithos. He'll be back to normal soon. ]

faustianphantom

You enjoy putting me in difficult situations. [His voice is smooth with very little inflection.]

I'm keeping count. [Was that a threat?] Take that how you will. The tables will turn and eventually be in my favor.

[.../gulp]

eightdead

Yeah, yeah. I fuckin' get it. Playing evil is tricky when there's security cameras everywhere and you need people to like you because you work for the Company. That last part was your idea, by the way; I'm happy anywhere I can get enough work for my booze and video game addiction.

We have a plan, you just need to show me more attention, you know? I'm like a neurotic dog. [So much sarcasm.] You need to coddle me, or I'll get antsy and destroy your TV. "I thought you were never coming back."

...seriously, though, I'm bored. And every time they make me go to 'Mass' I want to pull my own fingernails out. Can we get to the 'encouraging people to be insane or corrupt'? Thanks. [Sigh.]

novokov_cocktail

Yes..

It shouldn't be so difficult. Surely, you aren't that inept. A history...I don't even know what it is, make something up, who will no the difference.

Personality, easy...

Figure out where and do it. I grow restless, here with nothing to keep me occupied. I'm sure you'd rather not have me bored.

I wanna go home.

I don't care what you have to say. I hate this, and I just want to go home.

turnuptheheat

Hi baby, nice of ya'll to get me out of that cramped up headspace of yours.

You just couldn't resist playing me could ya? What can I say? I'm contagious.

Canon: Osmosis Jones

winter_raven

Mundane - double-mundane? I don't even know why you insist on it,

You've known for a while what you need to do. It's just now you've let yourself realize it. That's cool - sometimes it takes a while for things to percolate and pop up to the top of your brain. But now that you've actively realized it, maybe you should, you know, act on it. There's nothing wrong with the decision. Sometimes, you have to move on, right?

~ Raven

PS - Just so long as you don't move on from the edits you need to finish. Not that you'll get them done before nanowrimo, but it'd be nice to see some progress on the story. I'd like to get through Ascension for real.

ahew_kha

Mun?

I know you're excited about this and everything, but shouldn't you be resting instead of having worried about me? It could have waited until you were better, you won't even hear back on anything until the week after this one anyway, so there really was no need for the rush.

However, I do appreciate that you did go through with it and that you have decided to play me again, it's been a long time that I've been asleep. To be awake again and to be able to do these sorts of things once more makes me a lot happier than I could accurately describe.

I would appreciate it if you wouldn't think it absolutely hilarious that he wouldn't recognize me and would deny that my kha was what it was, though. That you wouldn't laugh at him denying that that's who he used to be, it's not a nice thing to do. Not that you have a record for being nice, that is.

Go back to resting and watching videos as you don't have anything else weighing on your mind right now.

((Ahaha. Wrist problems, forgive slow tags. Also trying to adjust back to her voice a bit better, forgive any oddness that comes with it.))

longaevus

Ah, there we are. [ There's a hint of a smile, one more from thinking of a memory than actual joy ] It's quite alright, you are aware of that? Your choice is your own, and your reasons are justified, and you forget that I do know you. [ It has been a while, something that is often surprising on both ends ]

Just breathe for a moment, and relax. You have time, never forget that. [ Of course it sounds simpler coming from the person who is saying those words ] Things often do have a habit of falling into place, and there is no exception to that. Take another day and look through it again. You may find a new perspective to it all, or at least a fresh idea.

warchangedme

Yeah, I've heard the stories too. I never would have thought that of someone from England though. Those people really only tipped a nickle for a hundred dollar meal?

I dunno, I just always sort of cover the tip if I eat ou...[wait, that doesn't sound right.] ...dine out with the Europeans. Even when I pay for the meal.

Strange things keep you up at night, mun! Don't worry so much about it and tip your fifteen percent! It's the American way!

loyalknight

I have spent entire months waiting for this night, mun. For so long you continued to try and hide away in your little hole - telling yourself time and time again that when you are ready everything about me will come as naturally to you as a woman's touch comes naturally to me.

Yet, despite this, you denied every opportunity and every chance I freely offered to come out to you only for you to now create this so-called 'better' opportunity for us both.

[The Heroic spirit shakes his head slightly, his expression almost exasperated due to this turn of events.]

Why 'so-called' you ask?

Well I regret to inform you, however, in your mad attempt to reach out to me you have now chosen to estrange myself from my lord and his fiance. Something which, as a result, creates an almost paradoxical existence for myself.

[Lancer pauses as his amber eyes narrow]

Because of this I seek to make it very clear right here and now. No matter how immediate my death may be looming upon the horizon I refuse to kill innocents for the mere sake of energy restoration and survival.

Do with that what you will.

crackpotcrocker

So, mun, two of those - HORRIFIC places are closing. Look who has had the last laugh mun.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

...What was that?!

No! Not another place!

willbechief

What exactly in your knowledge of me makes you think I would enjoy being a part of your games? [ This? This is a completely unimpressed Lin Bei Fong face. ]

Do you really think taking me from these "younger days" is going to make any difference in the end? You're opening yourself up for more questions and far more problems than those other people who play the older versions of me you realise?

...You aren't even listening are you? [ Sigh. ]

Let's put this simply. Leave me alone. We'll both be far happier with the outcome. Besides, mother needs all the help she can get back home.

I really don't have time for your nonsense.

loveagain

I'm glad to see you're so excited to play me again Mun, really, but don't you think you're getting a bit too excited? At the rate you're going at, you're going to tire yourself out before you actually get anything done. [Going straight into worrisome nagging, huh...]

It's not nagging! I'm just trying to look out for you, you know? Take your time with things, see where things go, and whatnot. There's no need to rush into this, even if you do think you're rusty.

Me? I don't mind waiting. I'm happy enough just to be out and about like this.

musical_shitennou

Your constant whining about where you're going to place me. Just put me somewhere already and quit moaning! Really. I can't stand this constant negativity coming from you. You should know better. Really.

Hmph. Kunzite-sama would think you a moron if he heard you. Maybe you're becoming one. Oh dear.

Current Mood: annoyed

rainmakings

[Welp, someone sure looks bothered.]

This isn't even the right face. It's a lie. And you have no plans for me, so this was also pointless.

[The child pauses, sighing and if one were to look carefully, they'd notice that this child looks older than he really is. Wiser, somehow. And possibly world-weary.]

Can you find mom? Joe? Younger Joe. Not the older one. Mom doesn't want me hurting anyone and I want to make her happy, so not older Joe.

And I don't want to go to a city full of curses without my mom. What's wrong with you?

teawithmonsters

I know you've got a lot of us to deal with, but don't worry so much.

You can do it, mun!

undiscarded

Years, and you come back crawling.

Waste of good feet on you. Waste of a spine.

Mun-san, what kind of place do you really want me to go? That other place you were thinking of sounded really nice.

justicecubed

Well, this is a surprise.

Though "pleased" would not quite capture my feelings about this sudden reunion given that you were motivated largely by the opportunity to create a journal name commenting on my nose. "Obscure" is also a little harsh; I like to think of it as "discrete".

varmitech

Geeze LOUISE mun! What in the world have you been working on for so long?? An...An application, isn't that what you said?

Some place called Ink City you're trying to send me off to, huh? Ugh, can't say I'm thrilled, but I am curious if there's a lot of robots and technology...

But as long as those dumb Wild Rats aren't here!

Wait.

They are??

AUGH!! THAT'S JUST NOT FAIR!

They make me so mad! And I keep running into them everywhere!

Well fine then mun, if you are going to shove me into a place where those brothers are mucking about, I'm just going to have to make this place a little less fun for them then, aren't I?

Ahahaa, Maybe this place won't be so bad after all!

anethara

You want to send me to a haunted house? Well, that certainly sounds exciting! I do hope the ghosts there are friendly instead of the usual angry, vengeful sort. Flying vases get tedious when you have to keep dodging them.

I won't muck it up too badly, will I? I can just see me now getting lost in such a great big place with no twine or Varric or Hawke to keep me on track. You don't suppose you could see about me getting a mabari's nose, do you? They're quite good at sniffing their way through places.

Or I'd just get all the smells confused the way I do the directions.

dudebrodinson

I, too, share your excitement for this venture, my lady.

Only, next time if we could find setting where I could keep Mjolnir? The thought of her waiting for me, at the mercy of these men of science as they test her, I dislike it.

For now, I will accept the limitations of this setting and hope that my brother finds his way there to cancel out his tricks, so we might talk as brothers and not enemies. It is a selfish thing, I know, but where he is concerned, I feel I must be.

egohalfempty

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!

Things are finally going my way for once - sort of - and you want to pull me into some other world?! This is so unfair! Besides, we both know there's no way I could survive some of these environments. I mean, let's be honest, I'm barely a functional adult back home.

...I can't believe I said that out loud.

A- Anyway, my point is, you can't do this! You just can't!

memories_made

Wow, so that's...not what I expected.

This is a joke, right? I mean we have all had our laugh here and for the first few minutes it was kind of funny. It's done now though.

Can we move on?

belfry

It’s— intrusive is a good word for it. Unwelcome.

There’s a certain level of relinquished control implicit in your existence. You know this, though, and that’s-

[A pause, stretching on long enough that it would indicate finality from most; but here it’s an answer of its own, too.]

-better than it could be. You have purpose, at least, an identified ally and a plan.

[There’s a quirk of eyebrows, deprecating; not cruelly so, but most anyone’s definition of a ‘plan’ must seem dangerously nebulous to a man with every nuance of action past midnight painstakingly accounted for.]

I think we have issues.
