Nov. 18th, 2012

Will this adventure in idle frivolity be occurring every time you happen to hear that man boasting my face speak in passing? As I'd like to be aware just how much time I'm to put aside to adjust to regular interruption to my otherwise... peaceful... [ don't lie, Watson ] life.

Or find a means to block certain, or perhaps all, forms of media from your access.

everythinghasaprice

I don't know why you're even bothering my dear, you know that half the places you would even like would want you to write out my history which is... complicated. Let alone what I can do.

Face it, I'm just going to have to be a temporary visitor to games.

mellowcremischievous

Wow, man I've never talked to a player before! I don't think we're really supposed to, but this is pretty cool. I'm your favorite racer, huh?

So uh, you wanna make a deal? Gimmie some of that autumn mix you've got and I'll be on my best behavior here. Promise! No pranks or anything.

[Well okay that sounds reasona-]

[GRABS THE ENTIRE BAG]

Haha, SUCKER!

[...he had his fingers crossed behind his back the entire time, didn't he. >:T]

taboomemory

Trying to use my sister as motivation against me, mun? That's low, even for you. It won't work, though.

ingodwethrust

We knew it wouldn't happen anyway. Wishful thinking only gets you so far, right?

It's fine; I don't need anything.

sinister_blade

I do not appreciate your attempts to find me boyfriend/crush/mate or anything along the lines to 'connect'.

I don't do connecting. Drop it, or so help me Noxus...

wingsofpoetry

Hmmmm?

[He tilts his head innocently, then grins.]

Well, what can I say? It's nice to see you're still so impressed. Maybe I haven't lost my touch as much as you thought.

[He laughs softly, his smile taking on a knowing aspect, contradictory to his words.]

I don't know much about any games, but I don't think it's fair to send me somewhere just because you think the canon review would be easy, ne? Anyway, I thought you wished there were more episodes with me in it...

How about we talk more after you've actually done that review? I'm sure there are plenty of interesting places around, and they'll be there next month.

[And then, he's twirling his pen between his fingers.]

I'm ready for a change of pace any time, but... There's no need to rush.

heroofdawn

So, now that your pretty little flower girl is there, you'll deign to think about bringing me as well?

I suppose that after so long spent cramped in your head and ignored, I shouldn't truly be surprised that I was such an afterthought. At least you're sending me somewhere where I won't be surrounded entirely by uneducated masses; Sephiroth and Angeal are already there, and I do ~~miss them~~ enjoy the entertainment that they provide.

But did you truly have to choose that point of my life to draw me from? Things are traumatic enough as it is.

showofhands

You don't have a back up plan for what'll happen if you don't get into this game. And you don't know what you're going to do if you do get in, either. I don't get the fascination with the horrorshow that is my canon and I'd be shot before I'd claim to be heroic, so why am I so high up your list for this thing? What's your angle?

You're in over your head. Just remember that I called it when it doesn't work out. But in the lightning strike event it does, one hint of romance and my voice will leave you out to dry in a heartbeat. This isn't your own personal show. Besides, we both know I don't follow expectations very well.

Current Mood: cold

yotsuba_and

Where are we going? More to the right? Will Daddy and Jumbo be there?

...Yanda can't come.

thelittlestbub

Yes, my "type" is showing.

I'd like to point out that I've never made any secret about it.

And yes the shooting range is totally a marital aide.

Look, I like guys... well, that are accurate, okay?

Scott - perfect aim.
Clint - Well, Hawkeye
Jono - Area of effect counts
Kurt - Have you seen him wield those blades?

Yes, I totally have a type and I'm so not ashamed of it, okay?

Go write your ~~fic~~NaNo and we'll call it even.

oblivious_klutz

I know you've been...struggling with me a bit lately. I know you've been playing me for a long time now, but maybe partnering me with Duke might help, and you seem a bit more motivated after watching the last of it, right? I know it's sad that it's over now, but you can always go back and watch it again, or play the game, or read the manga. I'm sure if you keep trying it will get better. And if not, you've had me for years, so you know I'll always be here. I would rather not upset Lloyd and the others if I left, but....it's up to you, okay?

braided_icarus

Yeah, I get it. I'm one of your first muses and have been around for years. Now you're finding it harder to come up with stuff for me to do. Maybe watching it again might help, maybe it won't. Just make up your damned might whether you're going to drop me or not.

icanfixit

Three times? You've seen the movie three times? Golly gee, that's amazing ma'am! At least you're having fun with whomever you see it with, that's most important!

And I see you've been playing my game! That's great, I--

Am I scared of ducks? Psh-paw! They're swell little critters! I'm not... scared of them.

justthedoctor

How are they still allowed to say those things, why is someone's sex such a big deal to you Humans that they would think it was alright to torment the people who are grieving???

I just...it's just...IT MAKES NO SENSE!!! I knew humans could be dodgy about the whole thing, yes, but it literally makes no sense! And to be so cruel to people...to use death as a tool to crush people's souls like that, I-...

There's something broken, there, there's something so horribly, terribly broken there, at least the Daleks and the Cybermen never manipulated people's emoions that way! Sometimes...sometimes I cannot believe the kind of cruelty Humans are capable of...

It simply breaks my hearts...

comeupblank

I don't want a new home, lady.

Just let me go back.. to Matt.

staysweet

Hey, lady, I hate to break it to you, but if you're looking for the Sugar Rush craze, try Tumblr. Who cares if you don't like roleplaying there? I'll get the attention I deserve.

Look, you'd be grumpy, too, if you were plucked out of college to be somebody's toy, while finding out that you're apparently supposed to be a nine-year-old video game character.

ohgawhawhawd

Heeeey, yo, Mr. Mun. Not that I don't think this whole plan is totally awesomeboss, but there's one huge problem!

How am I supposed to fight things I can't even touch? Not that I'd even want to fight because, ha ha, not my style, but just hypothetically or whatever. Totes hypothetically. How?

definingfuture

Stop screaming. It's not that bad. It's a review, and there's been a lot of history. You have to take the bad with the good... I know what I just said. You'll be fine.

You said you wanted the full experience. Well, this is a start.

falsehoods

The clown has regaled me with his stories of your insidious tendencies, mun creature. The Father of Mischief can appreciate craftiness but know that even my patience has its limits.

I think I know now what you have planned for me on that island...on that ship...

I do not think you will be truly happy until you have seen me driven to endless madness and despair. I hope you are prepared to meet the consequences of your actions; a forgiving heart was never amongst my merits.

silenceyoudummy

Turn off that insufferable device. You have listened to that annoying tune five times already.

cobwebbed

This is a bad idea. You know it's a bad idea, but you're gonna do it anyway. Yeah, okay, I guess that sounds like something I would do, but seriously? That's the excuse you go for?

takesyoubytheheart

84 years... gosh, it feels like just yesterday when I first climbed on that steamboat!

... Yeah yeah, we all know that Plane Crazy was the real first one, ya don't gotta keep tellin' everyone ya see! Just relax and have some fun!

thalassaoath

So we're going there? ...I don't mind. I'll be able to do something. And besides, Riku's there!

[Maybe she can be of some use now instead of just waiting. She never was a patient girl, after all.]

And that lady... The one I can barely remember from Hollow Bastion... She's there, too, right? So maybe... I'll be able to thank her.

[She's going to touch that necklace briefly.]

It'll be my own adventure, this time! Like the raft was supposed to be.

therealgenius

You know, I'm awfully glad you understand that a man of my age couldn't have gone this long without some romantic interest in his life, despite my apparent existence as a pathetic loser and sloppy seconds. I'm quite glad you've caught onto that.

What I'm not glad about is your idea of giving me some of the most horrendous ex-girlfriends on the planet. Even worse? Making one of them a redhead with black streaks and another Chinese-American because of that...old, English, comics me in his corporation on a cloud. There's a line between funny and mocking, you know. And you're mocking me, and I don't like being mocked. You should really just toss yourself off the tallest building in the area.

[that tallest building in the area is wal-mart, hammer]

...jump twice.

hotforsparkles

F-for real, I appreciate you givin' me all this attention and... y'know, making me an account and stuff, but, uh... This sorta thing isn't really my style. H-hey, I know you're a girl, so don't get upset, alright? It's not that I don't like ya, I'm just... shit, don't you find me scary? Like some kinda monster? I don't wanna go around scaring people, Mun, so lets call this off.

unframedthird

This again, Mundane? I thought you were content to allow me to remain quiet while you focused on the others you allow to run rampant in this headspace. Which, I might note, has grown considerably more crowded since I was last in a position to really pay any attention.

And allow me to ensure I understand this correctly. I am not here because you have an active plan for me, only because there is a faint possibility of something that has a high likelihood of not coming to pass. You'll forgive me, then, if I don't sound too delighted at being disturbed for something potentially so fleeting.

I suppose it wouldn't be a bad place to end up, of course. Certainly somewhere that makes far more sense than the ship ever did. And it would certainly be sensible to be present to keep an eye on Tamaki while you have that...delightful troll-turned-human tormenting him. But I won't be holding my breath. There's still some time before this can even become more than a possibility and still time for this to serve as merely a passing whim.

Just make this a decision you make sooner rather than later. I'd prefer to at least know whether you intend to make a go of this or not.

usskickass

You know, the place is still there. People're still around. It ain't dead.

Just...just have some faith, okay?

[Even if she's getting worried herself.]

bloodmoney

Sometimes I wonder if you’ve forgotten me. You’re awfully scatterbrained, after all.

[Don’t judge your mun Black Jack that’s not nice.]

Not that it matters. You have plenty of others to entertain yourself with.

As long as you don’t try send me back to that fairy-land bullshit, we won't have any problems.

[For now.]

thinkonyoursins

Well aren't you just darling, dear heart. You so enjoyed my performance before, you'd like an encore? And who am I to disappoint such a fan, along with the chance of paying dear Mother a visit, and the new golden son?

But 'villain', no, 'villain' is such a cruel, unsightly word. And so dependent upon perspective. A flimsy thing, really. We all know to the victor goes the telling of the story, hm? But you, dear child, are here to give me a second chance at rewriting it, aren't you? [ a relaxing sort of sigh ] To it, then. There is much to do, much to do.

kringlefuck

I fret youre going to burn yourself completely out with all of this game pish posh whats it by all of the conniving plots your conjuring up within your noggin there. Youre awfully attached to me! Am i sensing resentment from my other muse mates???
Oh yes this is absolutely brilliant! Equip me with a mask, shall you, that is going to have potential harm to me and my friends on the space ship. That seems like a dandy idea there miss writer!

NOT QUITE!!!!!!
( emerald courier )

willofgaia

Oh, what's this? To think such an insignificant being would dare to use me as they see fit... But it matters not. This place entertains me, and so I will be content for the time being. Still, would it not be more fun to continue with my original plans? Playing "pinball" with the continents would surely pass the time.

godborn

I'll have you know you're absolutely mad to consider doing this again. We had some good runs, but enough's enough sometimes. Learn to stop while you're ahead, too much of a good thing... sayings of that sort.

Besides, as much as you-- we would love to see Numair, Kel, or Alanna, it isn't happening. You know very well anyone from home's a rarity. I've done well enough on my own, but I'd ruther not do it anymore.

squirrelstew

Look here, girl. We both know I've got more experience in my little toe than Carol has in her whole -- body.

[Not that you're thinking about her body, right?]

No! Like I've got time to worry about that kinda thing. All I'm sayin' is that if you're going to be sending someone off on their own, I got a lot more experience than her.

iowan

Wow. Hey mun, it's been a while. I thought you had forgotten all about me. Its nice to see you again.

I know you have no plans for me at all, but maybe a meme or two would be fun? Or maybe we could find me someone to sing with? At least something before I'm put back on the shelf again.

anothermanifesto

I don't know why I continue to bother with this since my requests for you to take the plight more seriously have been falling on deaf ears. And it's not as if I can give you any sort of ultimatum seeing as you obviously can do whatever you please regardless.

You're not listening to me at all are you? Honestly, what could possibly be going on that stupid box you keep staring at...

...that's a lot of kittens.

[In the longest time, his voice sounds slightly hopeful:] Is that an orange tabby?

widdle_widow

Mun Lady.

[She aims her little fingers like guns]

PEW! PEW!

Next time I use my squirt guns.

No.

They turned me into a doll monster?

If you expect me to come out of this situation in one piece then I think you are the mad one. This has to be some sort of sick joke.

alwaysapologetic

I'm sorry! I'm sorry you had to go to all that effort to make me icons! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for being so unpopular that nobody outside of Pixiv draws fanart of me.

Even my being here is ruining the atmosphere for all the fancy muses. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry for wasting people's time by making them read this. This community will probably be left abandoned because I ruined it for everyone else. I'm sorry! Please forgive me!

empathetics

I'm glad you've decided to do this, Mun- I don't like Alice being there alone.

mymartini

Mun, just because I chose a desk job doesn't mean I'm giving up. I'm still on the list if needed for field work, I've just found someplace that I'm more needed. The field has 007, but the brain and the legs can't work without the nervous system. I believe in M like I believe in James Bond, and if Bond tells me to get him a drink...

well, I can always remind him that I can hit my target, or I can choose not to.

sassyillusionist

What is it now? What's wrong? Did you miss me? How sweet.

Just because everything else is not entertaining you anymore....

Am I just your last resort? Fine, whatever. It's not like that's new to me. You and my insolent gits of "parents" are on the same level right now. The bloody idiots don't understand that it's too late to patch things up. When you've been called an abomination and shunned by your own 'rents, 10 years does a lot to you. Fuck them. It's too late.

You're all bloody wankers. The lot of you.

nothing_personal

Listen carefully, Mundane, because I will only say this once: I am not going to play any of your 'games'.

It's so simple a concept that even you should be able understand it.

chameleon_winds

So you put me back in. Coulda done without that Wazowski quote when you announced it.

Ah well. 'Least it's better than where I was at.

drake_wayne

I have to admit it, mun. I never thought you'd actually take the time and actually apply to a game. I thought I'd be forever confined to dressing rooms and memes.

Who comes up with these terms?

Anyway, I'm mildly surprised and a bit glad. Hopefully I get in, even if you chose a questionable point in time for my arrival. I look forward to seeing my friends and family again. And the setting? It's just so...out there. How can an entire city thrive on the back of a giant turtle? I really wanna learn more.

At any rate, take it easy. I know you haven't been in a real game in ages, so just take it slow. Have fun.

easy_a

No. Don't say anything more. I don't want to hear it, alright?!

Just do me a favor and piss off.

lostshepherd

'Lost'? [ Not sure if offended or amused by this designation. Perhaps not the journal name he would have picked, but hey. ]

Way I understand it, you're only lost if you know where you wanted to be getting to from the beginning. And I haven't had a problem with that in... [ Ha..haha. ] Well, in quite some time.

I wonder if you couldn't benefit from stopping to think about the journey over the destination yourself. If you don't mind my saying.

publicandprivate

I must confess, it's intriguing there. Bravo on deciding upon sending me to Ariel, Miss Mundane. I'm sure it will keep my interest without a doubt.

Oh, and I've been meeting the most fascinating people too. I feel rather privileged to be spending time with such... exquisite company.

Sincerely

"For the good of all"? Now that's just uncalled for. It's me! Everyone's favorite lovable scamp and-slash-or sociopath, Black Mage! There's no game that wouldn't fare better with me in it.

Probably because most of these games should be lit on fire. I can do that, you know. Even in the ones that take powers away. Sure, a lighter and kerosene doesn't bring about the same sense of glee as summoning the flames of Hell itself from your fingertips, but I'm a man of results who can look beyond his own happiness as long as everything that needs to be set ablaze is set ablaze.

You're welcome.

Yes, I know you didn't thank me. I assume it was implied.

Look I'm about out of things that I can say without an accompanying stab to the face, so maybe we should just cut things off soon. On a parting note, I hear your family has kittens.

--oh, I'm sorry. Had kittens.

They were delicious.

Now we're done.

thingamabob

Don't be such a scardy fin!

[She giggles, bringing her arms to herself.]

Think of all the worlds we can see, all the amazing things! Oh, we could get a thingamajig for Flounder and a whatsamacallit for Scuddles! For Daddy we could...!

[Some of the enthusiasm goes away.]

I know he doesn't understand...

triggerhappiness

Hey, you know, if you spent half as much time actually writing the damn novel as you did angsting about how hard it is, you'd probably be done with the fucking thing by now. For God's sake, close that tab with Plurk in it and get to work already. We're done with this bullshit, okay?

And you're starting another movie. Yeah. Because that's totally the same thing as writing.

dreamsonwings

Hello again, Mun-san. It's been a bit since we've really sat down and talked.

Right now, I feel tired. I understand that Discedo will be closing at the beginning of the new year and that you took that hiatus at Asgard but still...it seems a lot. We don't get to talk anymore about anything. It's that time of year where you always are at your busiest and I understand.

But it still hurts though. Normally I would want to talk about this with Harper-san or Kresnik-san...even Arthur-san sometimes but I'm not so sure right now. Maybe the event over at the fairy tale island might help a bit. But I'm not sure how the bird one at that new place will help. I think I would be hiding there until they go away.

[Besides, how do you have Thanksgiving at that place when you're the only person living in the house?]

Even I get lonely sometimes too, Mun-san.

afallenstar

You do understand that diverting me from this so-called canon at an earlier point will mean more work for you, don't you? I won't be left ignorant of all that has happened between now and then, that's not an option, so you're going to have to work out what I've been doing since my dear younger brother decided that he wanted to try and have his hired help take me away for reprogramming.

~~No, I'm not still upset about that, and no I certainly will not be discussing that.~~

If you're not too busy with that I'd appreciate you finding somewhere for me to settle down in, too. I miss Ohio, even if I can't go back there. It won't be the same, not with what I know now. But I'd like to find somewhere else, maybe even with some people I know? It isn't much use having all these feelings if I have no one to share them with.

I think we have issues.
