Not so firm on your Aussie slang yet are you? Well I got a word for you, and it's "gumby". 'Cause that's what you're being right now, mate.

Look, I've had centuries to be me. Centuries! And what have you had? A week at most? It's not all gonna come at once. You're gonna get nowhere fast if you get stuck on the slang of all things, and you don't wanna get stuck anywhere when you're tryin' to be a rabbit. They don't say "quick as a Bunny" for no reason. Who do you think got that phrase started? Yeah, that's right.

Now what were you sayin' about slang, ya dingo-faced Sheila? Whinge at me again and I'll chuck y'on the barbie, wotcher.

littlegoblinjr

No, you're busy.

I understand.

[Never enough ointment in the world for your butthurt, is there, Harry.]

lespoirfaitvivre

Oh-hoh, for anyone else I would say you could be finding better ways of spending your time.... [ Hair toss. ] But as I'm sure you know, one nail drives out the other.

gleans

... No, but seriously. You like, literally stopped right at one of the most crucial parts of the story, and you haven't written in two days. Can we just... please. Please get moving. I'd really fucking love for this to be over. The whole thing just makes me feel, like -- sick. Sick, I feel like shit. And we're almost there. C'mon.

YOU'RE CONSIDERING WHAT?!

[Rin, you're bullfrog voice is ridiculously loud...]

Look mundane. I don't like your Pokemon idea- [Because you don't want to be Loudred or Exploud.] -and I don't like this one. What makes you think that putting me in a SEX game was a good idea?!

[Technically you're not there yet.]

oudeis

For once, I'll spare you ~~and everyone else~~ the tl;dr and simply say:

Yep. I've still got it.

agent_widow

hm. I'm not sure you're qualified to view my files and certainly not to give me field advice. Are you sure I'm what you're looking for just now? I know you seem sure. But things can change. Especially in a high pressure situation.

So perhaps you should give it more thought.

cape_and_wizard_hat

[Trixie rolls into Dear_Mun in this car with this music playing. She rolls down the window and sticks her head out of it.]

Soon, mundanes. Soon.

frabjuous

I realize how upset you've been to part with all those lovely icons, but I assure you that I can manage.

And I also realize that I am the worst person to ask this of you, but could you please be more reliable? Neither of us are going to get anywhere if you don't do anything. And moping about won't do one bit.

Open up that book and get to a canon review, won't you? I'm still loads of fun, just a bit -- testy.

mustbethetruth

So you are considering letting me out once again, are you? [He smirks and draws from his cigarette.]

Only a matter of time, I suppose, and I must say I'm looking forward to the opportunity. Stagnation and I -- but, well, you already know that, don't you? At least, I should hope you know. You haven't forgotten me, have you?

[He lifts his eyebrows, curiosity and amusement in his eyes, before his expression evens out into a playful smile.]

Don't fret, my dear mun. I'll come scurrying back to you now that you've beckoned.

lovesrocks

Haven't we gone through this before, mundane?

Are you going to follow through on it, this time?

qaunak

It's alright, mun. I know there aren't many places out there for someone like me.

But I appreciate the chance at being able to see my sons again. I miss them both, Noatak especially... I thank you for this chance to see who they've become.

Current Mood: cheerful

sonofsparda

"Destined to fall?" A likely story.

You think very highly of yourself. Don't get cocky, and don't think I don't see what you're planning.

mello

..........

I sure hope you can handle me on our own. This will be our first time wandering around without my Matt. Do me a favor? Don't blow it. You've been keeping me locked up in that damn head of yours for too long and I REFUSE to go back now. You let me out, now you've got to deal with me. Don't even think of tossing in a flag and giving up cuz I'll burn the damn thing, and you won't even have it anymore.

You're stuck with me, mun. What made you think I'd ever really leave? *Smirks*

Now go replenish my chocolate supply. I need brain fuel, slave.

smallmailman

[Have a small child in striped pajamas.]

Uh, misses mun lady? It's reaaaaally, really late. [Russell rubs at his eyes.] Why're you awake? Is it insomnia? Or did you just stay up looking at--[yaaaaaaawn]--weird things on the internet again? You should go to sleep. My mom says that people who stay up late get pimples and gross stuff like that.

...

...HEY! You're the one who woke me up first, that's not fair!

kungfupanda

Hey, Mun! Munaroonie! The Mun-ster! How's it going?

Two things. First of all, I know now is a totally bad time. I get that. But you think maybe, just maybe, I might be able to get out and do stuff again once things are better? Because I'd like that. Even if it's a new place, it's better than no place.

Second! Who is Michaelangelo and why do you keep insisting we need to meet? And why do you say we're "right next to each other?" ...wait, he's a turtle? I bet he's wise and all know-y and stuff. Just like Oogway, I'm sure.

iscoming

Not everything is clear cut. The good guys do bad things and--

You know this. Don't make me tell you.

I have enough problems in that respect.

thatwasapun

H-h-h-h-hey, miss mundane, I've got a great idea! How about you not do awful things t'me and then brag about it to all your little friends, huh? Now there's a wild and crazy idea! Or you could just, y-y-y-y-you know, stop bein' such a jerk!

[oh. are you mad, darling? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of Chrome's mun and I plotting more terrible things to do to you. and your little friend, too.]

!!!

Why I oughta-- you b-b-b-better leave her outta this mess! I-in fact, how about you leave both of us outta it, huh? Doncha have other stuff you could be doin' t'entertain yourself?

[well, I could always do that other thread you're in instead...

WHOA HE WAVES HIS ARMS AROUND SUDDENLY, making loud shushing noises.]

N-n-n-n-n-n-no, uh-uh, nope, we are not talkin' about that out here! I'm done! Y'see this? Done! [he clams up, folding his arms across his chest pointedly.]

Done. One-hundred and fifty gajillion percent done.

foxtwin

Please, please dear mun don't think I am mad at you about that. Truly, it was getting rather awkward with my story just not really doing anything. And I like your idea of setting up a structure for my story, so you are less frustrated with it all the time.

My only concern is... when was the last time you wrote anything for me, my dear mun? I don't want to fall by the wayside. Not to sound too critical, but I do know you have a tendency to do such things. Trust me, I understand there are many distractions around, but you say you enjoy my story.

I just don't wish to be forgotten.

ohshinytomatoes

No.

I don't care.

I don't want to go there. I don't like what happens when you take me places. It doesn't matter that Anna's there. I can see her at home. She won't even know me there, and I won't know her. Stop thinking about it. You don't have time.

yayntz_rayr_zhoh

[Oh look, it's this guy again.]

You should have no hesitations of sending me anywhere, mundane. Competition only makes the spark stronger, and what better way to prove me as superior than to pit me against any... imitators you may encounter? And of course I realize Megatron will be there. Good. I can settle the score.

[Despite how confident he may sound, there's an underlying anxiety. He hasn't forgotten who shot him. Multiple times.]

Oh... And to the fact that Optimus Prime will be there, too...? Heh. I believe your phrase "killing two birds with one stone" is sufficient.

mrbackwards

I don't see why you can't just let me go back. I have things I have to do, people to take care of.. to send me there. It's pointless.

I know she's there, and that she's alone. [ there's a pause. ] At least pick a different point to take me from, yeah?

unconnected

You have other things you should be doing. A lot of things. You can't just sit around and mope about things you've lost. Trust me, it won't help. It only makes things worse.

Things change. People move on without you. People forget you. The sooner you accept that, the better off you'll be. Don't make the same mistakes I made. End up like me and you'll regret it forever.

wheel_of_reversal

Yes, I'm glad you remembered me, but I'm a busy girl and have far to much to do to be playing around here. Please, let me return before the paperwork piles up to high and I'm scolded, that is all that I'm asking.

But, if you really have to drag me out for memes, please respect my gender and other issues. I remember the trouble you got yourself in last time because of how lightly you treated the subject. Hopefully you can handle it this time.

oversight

Hey, hey, c'mon, don't worry 'bout that crap you read, okay? Not like any of it makes any sense. [Particularly that part about him being described as "husky," if his expression's any indication.] Think of it as... [A beat.] -as sanctioned fan fiction. Prob'ly not meant to be taken seriously.

But if you're lookin' for somethin' to take seriously, how 'bout a game for me? Been draggin' your heels, using voice testin' as an excuse, but you gotta take the plunge eventually. Don't care what or where really, long as you can keep up. Might be nice to see some familiar faces, too, but I'm not picky.

Think it over. And stop readin' that or someone's gonna accuse you of bein' a glutton for punishment.

notafruit

Dear Mundan-san,

It's all right! I know last time we tried this, life crept up, but that happens. I'm sure that with a little bit of effort things will be all right. Mom always said that all you can do is try your hardest. If you do that, then no matter the outcome you'll have nothing to regret. And I'll stand by you too.

If you find a place to bring me, then I know I'll be happy. Even if it might be a little bit lonely without Kyou-kun, and Yuki-kun, and the others. If not, I'll be okay too. I understand it can be a big decision, and you have others like me too, that you would like to fit in. So it's whatever you decide, Mundane-san. I promise, I'll be here waiting.

sunflowering

Don't. I know what you are thinking. You've always just done whatever it is that you want, but this time I can't sit quietly. After your initial reaction I didn't think I'd have to worry, but...

I'm happy in that place together. What I've done at home is out of necessity, but don't interrupt my remaining happiness there. If that is truly our last journey together, then I want it to be a happy one. Stop trying to have him go home, only to forget or realize.

And no more. You don't need to send me alone anywhere again. Let things remain as they are, why don't you? That's all I'm asking.

I just...want to be happy for a little while longer.

generatedanomaly

It's about time you let me out, mun. I've only been hanging 'round for a year. You said I could go exploring but I haven't seen one new planet. I seriously hope that this means you're actually going to send me somewhere now that you've brought me out.

Maybe I'll even get to see Donna, Martha and dad hanging about here. Or a new alien race! Wouldn't that be brilliant. There was so much I was going to do, you know. If you'd let me have my ship then I could have been out there right now seeing all kinds of new things.

Now go on, get to looking for someplace exciting to send me. Preferably somewhere I can do a lot of running.

stowed_away

Do you want congratulations for taking me away from my home and friend? Not that my home life was anything spectacular but I do have school and Arby to look after, you know?

Although being able to spend more time with Sarah Harding would be okay, I mean....

Anyway, you could at least try to find Arby, right? He'd never do anything without me being there.

learnedtosmile

You can stop making me lose my temper. You got the point across. What happened to keeping a low profile, anyway? I only make noise when it's important, you know that. I'd like to keep my job for the moment, and my friends.

I guess it's too much to ask for a straightforward crime scene. Not that I want crimes to be committed, but at least I'd know how to deal with it. More than this mask crap.

Also, I'm not learning to be a ninja, that's ridiculous.

PS: Gordon is better off back in Gotham. I shouldn't have to spell that out.

owlsa_hazel_rah

Elil.

You must set me free. I'm of no use to you and I have a warren to watch over. You said yourself that this is a fleeting thing. Make it less so.

unlistedvirtues

[Have an emperor who's only barely controlling his aggravation beneath a thin veneer of contempt.]

This idea you've presented would make my life a dire comedy, My Lady. [He sneers the honorific.] I will not tolerate it.

I am the Emperor of Rome. No man [and especially not a woman] can portray my life. To even think that you could recreate any shred of Rome's glory is laughable. The life of a Caesar is only lived, do you not see? It is untouchable to the common mob.

[He settles stiffly in his seat, as if even dealing with his Mundane is so very beneath him.]

Consider this fair warning to abandon this foolishness and return to your petty toys. I'll only extend such mercy once.

rainbowy

...in your defense, I'm pretty happy to see them too, even if you are, as you say "testing the waters" and I guess they are doing that too?

But didn't you have other application for that place? You are a real mess of a mundane, you know?

I'm not sure if I'm "easier" to play that the other girl you were thinking about, but hey, I haven't stretched in God knows how long. Just...make sure wherever you think of sending me has enough sun.

umadrobin

Can't you just leave this alone, mun? Really, I put up with a lot from you, but now you're really starting to push some very, very personal buttons.

[ ... Yes, Red X sounds legitimately angry about this. That almost never happens. ]

Don't go there, mun. I'm one of the hardest guys to piss off you'll ever meet, but you're getting really close.

papershippers

(You're just being silly, mun. Paper airplanes don't talk or have personality. They just go wherever the wind takes them. And a little of wherever they're thrown. That's about it.

This paper airplane is special, however. This one and all the others with it guide everyone to their destinies, their true loves, whatever their heart desires most. It's not just the wind that guides these wings, mun; wind lets them take flight, but fate lets them soar.

You might not notice it right away, goers of Dear_Mun, but there is a flock of paper airplanes flying behind or around you. They just want to you go on towards your destiny, but they can be pretty pushy about staying on track if you stray. What do you do?)

spongetastrophe

Okay, I'm here. What now?

... You don't have a plan, do you? Didn't think so.

psychiccop

So wait, let me get this straight.

You want to bring me back. That I get. And that's okay, because I missed you. And I know you missed me too.

I know it's between Captain Stacy and me, and...thanks for picking me by the way but. [Firm. firm firm.]

Here's...here's the thing. You don't want to bring in anybody else? It wasn't that bad. [But you painted the future Matt. Why did you do that. Why did you paint the future. Why did you have a baby. What the fuck was that.]

Well. Lots of grown adults invest billions of dollars in comic books. Naturally a writer is going to have to think of different ways to tell different stories with those same characters. Mistakes are bound to be made. [suddenly annoyed] And you know what? At least unlike some of your characters I actually got laid!

I'm just saying think about it. If we're really going to do this.

odins_witch

I have survived Ragnarok and I accept that it is up to Oswald and I to...strengthen our numbers. Two will not last for long, after all. (Despite her strong words, she looks pale and unsure.) Mun, I know you are interested in me and I thank you for giving me this chance to speak. However, I must return home. Oswald will be worried about me.

(As she says those final words, she does nothing to hide the gentle smile on her lips. It's lovely to be wanted and loved.)

I want to do something for him. Do you have any ideas?

whatsthestory

So if you're not going to eat the rest of those chips...well, I'd gladly help you get rid of them. Being the loving, helpful sort of dog I am!

And you need to stop being so hard on yourself! So things didn't work out, that's okay! You're still great!

Hey! I know what will make you feel better! Let's read a book! That always cheers you up, right?

aliencomplex

I don't understand. Why do you want to buy and play a video game that made you cry?

Wouldn't it happen again like when you watched someone else play it? That doesn't make any sense. |

Greetings User.

This is one small post for a calculator and one giant post for calculating kind.

[There's some stupid kid here, he would be unassuming if he wasn't covered head to toe in blood..]

Hey, Mun! It's..been a really long time, hasn't it!? Good to see you again.

[Chipper as always!!]

I can't believe that buggy facebook game made me wake up from a year long nap. Well, guess the developers did something right. Hopefully they fix the kinks so you can..uh "throw your money at the computer," I guess. Hmm..

So where're we headed? Maybe we can go to one of those zombie places! Let's try to find someplace that really needs a surgeon. I don't wanna be useless.

What do you mean? You want me to stay homeless for now? Okay, fine..we can still find people to fix here, and in those other places you were talking about.

masterofevil

SO, MUN. I SEE THAT ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE THE POOR TASTE TO STILL ADMIRE THE SAMURAI, IN THE END YOUR BETTER JUDGEMENT WON OUT, AND YOU HAVE CREATED AN ACCOUNT FOR I, AKU, BEFORE HIM.

NOW, FIRST THINGS FIRST. THE ICONS YOU CURRENTLY HAVE, THOUGH ACCEPTABLE, WILL NOT DO IN THE LONG TERM. FOR ONE, THEY DO NOT EXPRESS THE GLORIOUS ARRAY OF EXPRESSIONS THAT I FREQUENTLY MAKE. WITH ONLY THESE, SOON EVERYBODY WILL START TO GET THE WRONG IDEA OF ME, AND YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I HOW HARD FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE TO BREAK.

YOU HAVE SOME OF THE EPISODES, AND HAVE FOUND THEM ALL. THERE IS, THEREFORE, NOTHING TO EXCUSE YOU. CHOP-CHOP.

AFTER THAT, THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS SHALL BE FINDING ME A GAME.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

IT IS APPROPRIATE THAT THEY SHOULD CALL IT A GAME, AS I SHALL BE THE ONE TO WIN IT!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT THAT KIND OF GAME?

magicladyknight

Are we having fun yet, my lady mundane? I certainly hope so. It would be such a shame to end our most enjoyable liaison so soon.

aheartinhealing

Hey, what's with that face? You didn't know I was in your headspace at all? C'mon, gimme a break!

I guess finally getting to my story in the game finally made you realize I was here all this time. It's okay though. I guess I can let it slide this time.

But Mun, you really need to cut Terra some slack. I don't know what happened to him but I know he wouldn't do anything on purpose so don't be so frustrated with him.

disassociated

I don't know why you think this would work anywhere else. It hardly works as it is. One day it's gonna come out and we'll all be fucked because of me. Every case I touched, every time Amy covered for me. So it can't ever come out. That's how it's got to be. So this all ... this thing, it isn't so much a bad idea as it is a non-starter. You know the only things I really care about, and they're not here.

mirrorsofme

Okay mun, you really need to get your act together and start acting like me.

(Yeah I know, I'm trying-)

You're not trying hard enough! And you're barely through the first half of my game!

(Ouch...you can be loud when you want to be.)

...Hoh? You still believe that the cake is a lie? Well, I'm not going to bother stopping you.

A magic academy? No way! Mun, you have to let me go!

Am I sure? Of course I am! If there's one thing I haven't seen enough of, it's magic. Not only will I be able to observe it, but I'll be able to wield it! It's too great to pass up! Don't try to change my mind. I've already packed--

... what's that? Physical training's... required?

[Fuyuki slumps.]

... never mind, I'd probably flunk out anyway...

usedconfusion

New journalname. Badical. Even if you are pokin' fun at me. You kinda ignored my only two requests, but I now there aren't a lotta KP's out there. No Rufus makes the only thing tank more, but you did at least, y'know, ask, so there's somethin'.

There's just one teeny tiny little thing I gotta bring up dude, and I can't believe I gotta be the responsible one here. Could you have at least done the app before you did this?

taijiya

Look. I won't try to stop you if you want to pick me up again, but think about it first? There's barely anyone I used to know left in Adstringendum--not that I would remember them if I went back, anyway. You don't even have enough hours in the day as it is, and you would almost certainly have to drop your other muse--whom you've already been neglecting--to pick me up again.

Just because you've been getting nostalgic doesn't mean things will be the same. Just remember that before you get in over your head, alright?

174awhile

Such fleeting confidence... It's fine to reevaluate your portrayal, to let yourself grow as a player. Even if my personality is meant to be set in stone, that should bar no holdings on your attempted grasp of it. You should feel free to explore. That's partially what this whole thing is all about, that creative freedom to interpret things as you see fit. It's not an exact science. And there's no time limit to these kinds of things, either.

You should give it a rest for now, though. We're starting to match, the bruises forming under your eyes... You can't keep trying to be everywhere at once, you're stretching yourself too thin. Compromising quality for quantity isn't your style. Besides, you have other obligations. Other players will understand. They have outside lives, too.

[Sigh.] At least go to bed at a decent hour tonight. I'm sure your co-workers won't appreciate a reprise of the zombie they got stuck with today.

Just, one last thing before you go - these plans you're wanting to make with that Jacob's mun? Not earning you any brownie points.

resurrection_butterfly

Now now, why are you so worried about your voice for me? When you sit down for a while it's important to warm up before running again, it's the same sort of thing here, isn't it? I'm sure with a little warm up, things will be as they were, and when you have a place I'm sure you'll have a chance to warm me up again.

seesobserves

It's not about holding onto hope. Hope is a crutch.

It's about proving a point.

Aww man, did that seriously have to go down like that?

Look, Mun, it's all well and good you have a voice for me, but there's kind of a lot of stuff going on right now. I need to get back to my group; and more importantly to Maggie. She needs me right now a lot more than you do, no offense.

countthecost

So. Let me get this straight. This is the third journal you've made for me? What was wrong with the other two?

Are you planning on doing anything with this one, at least?

...Right. Tell me when you figure it out.

notyourvessel

Seriously?

Dude. Don't you have enough on your plate? I know you think that horror is perfect for me. My life is a freakshow, look, I get it. But just this once could you...maybe not?

notkid

Uh, alright, that was sudden. It's not really a problem, it's just been a while. Two years, actually. Can you believe it?

So I guess I wasn't joking that time I said I was going to pull a toxoplasma and just hang out in the recesses of your brain until the end of time. It's cool that you thought of me, though, because it was getting kind of boring back there. Not that -- uh. You know what, though, I'm not sure about this place. I'm thinking about all the other people, here. There's no Night Watch there, right? And no Night Watch means if things accidentally, uh... get out of hand, we're all... kind of... screwed. Like screwflies (ha) in a room full of bleeding howler monkeys screwed. Not to rain on your parade, or anything, but... just saying. Just... looking out for the community.

You're the boss, though, I guess, so we'll see where this goes! Hopefully it won't turn into a horrific nightmare and everything will be just fine~~, said no one ever.~~

Better. But there's certainly room for improvement.. even you can't deny that. What is it I'm supposed to call you? Mun? Mundane? They both seem unfitting. They make it seem as though you have some type of control over me, do they not? We can't have people thinking that.

We can't have you thinking that, either.

The way you're questioning it, you're questioning me. Do you have it in you to possess my voice? I doubt you ever will. I doubt you're even listening to me, either. Do as you please, just be ready to face the consequences.

Come now, my dear. A limitation on my powers?

[ Liliana's chuckle is deceptively pleasant—much like the rest of her. Her confident body language suggests that she has no intention of allowing such a thing to come to pass. Indeed, her lust for knowledge and power has demanded extreme trade-offs over the years, and she refuses to have her suffering amounted for naught. When she speaks again her tone is fond, condescendingly so; ]

Foolish creature. Be as that may, judging by your enthusiasm I'd say that you and I are going to have a lot of fun together ...

[ She sets a fingertip against her lips in a gently hushing gesture. The movement causes light to dance across her rings and her glossy violet nails: a decorated temptress, this one, and far too conniving for the good of anyone. ]

Necromancy is a highly desirable asset. I am certain we can come to some sort of agreement, let's say—

[ The barest hint of a smirk touches the corners of her mouth. ]

Entirely on my terms?

playangel

Well, good for you! You managed to get accepted and have me somewhere with dear Cassie, Gabe, and the hairless apes. Lovely.

I suppose it's not all bad, not with Cas there, but still. Them?

And the other one, which you're waiting on has big brother Luci. This should be fun. But now that you're done your homework, you can have some fun.

I think we have issues.
