The hell is wrong with you? (Someone is sleepy. And pissy. Not a good combo with this one.) It's not even time to turn the damn thing in and you're rambling on and on and on -

I don't buy you not liking caffeine. Leave the sodas for me.

(She collapses back onto a sofa and covers her face with a pillow.)

The next time you bug me, you're getting shocked, I swear.

mechromaniacal

Oh my god i am SO BORED. I thought you were going to get onto that Pirate thing we unlocked but NOOO you had to get an effing Tooth Infection. What kind of back water third world planet doesn't have healing hypos to take care of this kind of shit? Like...look at you. You're still relying on anti-biotics and the HOPE METHOD.

Congrats though on guessing my age before everyone else. Pretty smart of you I gotta say. And I'm liking these little pictures you compiled of me. My innate adorability really shines through in these! Whatever though just hurry up and get better. After our little pirate vacay I need to go on and punch that hacking jerk in his Torgue supporting face!

Current Mood: aggravated

watereyes

You wouldn't really...

Well, never mind. Who am I to argue with someone who has such power over me?

Really, I'd love to go someplace that isn't Gion. But I don't trust you not to seize the opportunity to toss me into an even stranger environment. There's a little bit of water in you, too, I think. I'm told those of us with water in our personalities are very rarely straightforward.

iknewit

{{Canon is technically Darths&Droids. I really hope I tagged this properly.}}

You are already somewhat uncomfortable with the fact that playing me, Ben, as I am is almost Real Person roleplaying, and having another 'Obi Wan' in your head is frustrating as well. (Though I confess I wish I had been able to see these 'Star Wars' movies; they sound rather interesting.)

Nonetheless, you are a moderately experienced tabletop campaigner, and I know that you have taken some of my advice and examples to heart, so I don't... mind, so much, that you also have a 'proper' Obi-Wan muse.

Perhaps, you should consider running us on different 'character sheets'? Or journals or whatever you call this. It may be easier to keep us straight, though I can understand the desire to try and keep it to one, especially since the probability of getting into an actual game community as my self is rather slim. (More so than a fumble in the middle of an important battle, though Jim showed us well enough it's quite posible.)

Also, I do appreciate the fact you tend to take me from before the Doctor debacle, there are still a lot of sore emotions about that.

[ What is this?

Why, it's a waxwork bust, cast in the likeness of one very famous consulting detective (the cheekbones may be off, given your interpretation. Just squint).

Do you:

> Admire the craftsmanship and cleverly place it in your window in hopes of busting a criminal?
> Get your poor housekeeper to crawl on her hands and knees to adjust it every few minutes?
> Shoot the damn thing and pray you don't end up in prison?
> Attempt to get your best chum to get rid of it because it won't look that nice riddled with bullet holes?
> Make puns? Think of all the puns.
> Ignore it. It will be forgotten in the next story anyway. ]

gwenhwyfar

What is my real existence, I wonder. Some sort of bitter queen that runs off to the love she never has? A druidess to ensure the survival and to see the old ways flourish? Become a great queen and lead her people equally with her king? Or become like my dear teacher, Myrddin Wyltt, and become a recluse in the forests?

Why do I always wish for the latter?

Why does every road set out for me leads to pain except an existence where I'm hardly ever known? Perhaps, maybe someday, Gwenhwyfar, not Regina, will find an existence beyond some scourge and wretchedness. Truly, there is no hope for my kind, not even when the Christian god tries to drown us.

milligan

What, were you expecting a happy ending for me? From this show? Really? Things didn't get any happier after the first season's finale and you're already on the seventh, so I don't know if you're holding on to hope just because you can, or you're just being masochistic at this point.

Look. You knew Dean was going to make that choice. It wouldn't be Supernatural if he didn't— And no, we're not talking about how I feel about that, I'm not even a real Winchester. That's not my thing.

My point is, if I even make it out of the cage, looking up the Winchesters is probably the last thing I'd wanna do up top. It's nothing personal, except for the part where it really kind of is. Deal with it.

surefeelsbad

So, hey. About this game. You know how I'm going to be forced into living with people, and you're going to subject me to nice traditional holidays and the promise of a mundane every day life? School, homework, no lab, no evil inventions, none of that?

I've been thinking about that. If I'm going to be living with someone, wouldn't it be better if I was with someone say... a little taller than me? Someone blonde and on the cheerful side. Oh, and he just so happens to wear... oh, I don't know. Two shoes? That'd be good.

What's that? That sound you hear? It's the sound of me running secret experiments on all of your muses up here in your headspace. Just thought you'd like to know. Hope we're on the same page now!

cancerousrage

YOU. YES, YOU, THE MORON WHO THINKS SHE'S PLAYING ME.

( GREY TEXT AND KARKAT UNDER THE CUT )

fallenbishop

Perhaps you were expecting me to offer Lightfellow tea and cookies, mundane? You and everyone on that infernal 'Plurk' act as if this, this, and this were done merely because I have such a propensity for entertaining children.

Would you rather I dwell on the fact Leknaat would rather I go fight yet another war on her behalf than allow me to die in peace? If Chris makes for a susceptible distraction while being plagued by the castle's insipid curses, I would consider this a blessing.

creature_conundrum

Oh, hey there mun! I thought you'd never get around to this! I've been missin' my bros, y'know. Hah, one of 'em anyway, got the other around here after all!

Okay, okay. So it's not like I have any history at all to work off of (even with a few million years worth of it, but hey I get your point), so this is all we can do. You know I'm not one to let that get me down, though! Just point me in the direction of a meme, and I'm there. Musebox post need a little liveliness? I'm all over it! Someone around with a creature question? I'm there faster than the dive of a peregrine falcon--

Haha okay, you get my point.

Thing is, I think this is the beginning of a b-e-a-YOOtiful relationship.

psychiclilies

Talk about overeager.

You haven't even been accepted into the other place yet, what makes you think you can handle something of this magnitude?

Oh well. It's your funeral.

therabbithearted

Miss Mundane,

I find it rather odd you're elevating me on a pedestal, in that you've literally been scrambling to find a place to send me. Aren't you going to take my opinions into consideration? What if I'd rather not be sent to attend a school, surrounded everywhere by demons and monsters? I've barely interacted with children my own age, mind you.

[She crosses her little arms around her chest, puffs out her cheeks, and gives the most disappointed look.]

You and I both know that you should be focusing on more important ventures, anyway.

braided_icarus

Well, I figured that would be the case. Still, not like you didn't have me there a good while, nearly two years. And that's not counting Mayfield before that and all. I guess we'll see if you end up finding another game, but for now, I think I've earned a break.

snowfallen

spiderkid

Dude, you realize I'm too old for that stuff, right? I don't believe in that kind of thing anymore. Why do you keep making me tag those guys?

howherolls

I'm not sure this applies as a good argument for "never giving up", especially since I'm the one you're sending to another game. Again.

I know it's not like it used to be, but I'm content where I am. Haymitch has geese. And I'm not...I'm not going to be hurting anyone where I am.

I know my opinion's not worth much here, but maybe continuing the break will be a good thing. Here I can still be me, and Katniss isn't...Katniss isn't around to be hurt.

modelairplane

Hey, look at you, doing stuff. Finding icons and all that. That's cool.

So, uh, do you have any idea what you're doing?

I didn't think so.

plains_hunter

You know, I have to admit it. This place you sent me is pretty sweet. A brand new Earth with no criminal record and nobody out to kill me. I might even be able to speak to the Bat's little proteges without them trying to punch my face in on sight.

I guess it's not too bad here, all in all. Nice and peaceful, kidnappings aside.

...But you know, peaceful can be so goddamned boring. I think I may start getting a bit restless, soon.

You're okay with that, right?

demonthreeway

Almost picking some mutt over us?

Uncool.

Really uncool.

parenticide

Just pick a place! [Her tone is sharp, and condescending, completely lacking in understanding or patience.] I'll fit in anywhere you could send me to, so just get to it! [There were places to go, people to see, and money to make; Gillian had no interest in losing out due to indecisiveness.]

hattergonnahat

You're no better than she is, you know. Regina.

Don't pretend you don't see it. You prefer things the way they were. Before Grace. Before everything. You want me to forget. Why? Am I not entertaining you as I am?

You can't find someone else to torment? You're hardly strapped for choice. That pirate captain, the werewolf, even Rumplestiltskin. No. You came back to me. You'd have me live all the old mistakes all over again, and I wont--

I'm done. I'll find Grace myself, and the two of us are going home. I don't care about your games, or about traveling to Baker Street. Any of it.

Now get out of my way.

donthelpme

[She looks at her mun before she starts writing on her notebook because what the hell.]

Did you seriously just make an account for me? What are you going to do with it, make me shoot vampires in the face?

Because I'm pretty sure that it'll get boring, eventually.

inversepsychiatry

Well Mundane, I was wondering how long you would be able to hold out, and I must say that I'm really impressed.

Usually you make a journal the instant you begin to develop a muse, but this time you managed to put it off for several months. Even longer if you consider my original self. Bravo.

Of course, now I have to ask: what exactly do you plan to do with me, now that I'm here?

gild

I do believe the term you're looking for, dearie, is a yo-yo. Not exactly a comparison I'm happy to have to point out to you given that it's me you've got spinning about - though I'm hardly alone in your head anymore, am I? Mm, yeah, thought I'd just let that slip by, did you? The warrioress and the wolf are tolerable, but let me impress upon you that I shan't continue in my good spirits should any codfish start showing up in your pretty little head. A passing fascination I suppose I can tolerate, but more than that... You'll not want to test it.

At the very least I can commend you for your confidence in me. I've already told Regina - it's not a matter of debate, never has been, never will be. I'll win the end over; if nothing else, I'll always outlast the rest of them.

dicey

So you want to see a few more people from my universe, huh? I'm not sure why, 8ecause you already play the 8est troll in existence, 8ut I can roll with this! And you know what else I can do? I can help. That's right, I'm trying out this "I scratch your 8ack, you scratch mine" thing. And since you've actually 8een a pretty good player-mun-whatever l8ly, I've decided to fill up our cast for you. That's right, COMPLETELY fill it up, with every last character still availa8le (there are like 100 8y this point, right?). Oh sure, you might think that's unreaona8le and that it would overwhelm the game. You might say that plenty of them aren't even appa8le! You may just 8e primarily looking for a couple more people you think would 8e particularly interesting to play me against. Yadda yadda yadda, 8oring 8oring 8oring. You know what Iiiiiiii think? I think you're not aiming nearly high enough! Go 8ig or go home, right? Yeah!

So how am I going to acquire a full cast for you, you may ask?

Watch and learn. ::::)

( Vriska Serket's cordial and not at all threatening letter to the general HS character populace )

So there you have it! I'm 800% positive we are well on our way to filling up every single one of those 50+ empty slots, 8ecause who WOULDN'T want to take advantage of an opportunity like this? 8ut no need to thank me, the way I know you're just dying to. This is a favor from me to you. In return, just be sure to make my life awesome.

Or else. :::;)

blackstranger

Oh don't be like that, mun! You're the one that desired my presence after all!

[He chuckles.]

I see you have done the best job you can at destroying your own life. Truly a beautiful trainwreck, but perhaps maybe it's time you let me back in on all the fun. It's been quite boring, and I have a job I wish to do after all. Question is, which can offer me the most benefits....

Maybe that tower can grant me an answer I desire. I need to pay them back after all for all of their....hospitality.

endeavorbeyondgenius

While I am most happy that you have finally permitted me to move into the space once reserved for those of a far less youthful disposition, I must question if you are quite prepared for me! For, you see, while I am more than overflowing with the abundance of warmth that being allowed free to aid my comrades in their time of sadness can give, you, my most worried player-san, seem to be very concerned that I shall not live up to my name.

But fear not! We shall go forth together! I will not allow a fair maiden to fall by the wayside in insecurity!!

Now we have but to find a dwelling that shall become our new home! A place for uniting the damaged bonds of my teammates, and all shall be well!!!!

Ahahaha! How amusing! Yamuraiha, let me know when you use that magic of yours next time! It seems to have misplaced me somewhere outside of Sindria! She really should take care next time, eh, Ja'far?

...Ja'far? Masrur?

All right, all of you, I'm no longer laughing. Show yourselves at once!

What should I say? You're late? Would that make you happy enough to go away? I learned my lesson long enough ago - no more traveling. Ever. Not for adventure, not for riches, never for some girl who wants to [ a wave of his hands, before they fall to his sides ] "broaden my horizons". They're broader than they should be already. You can only stretch things so far before they [ snap ] snap.

[ . . . and his shoulders sag slightly. ] I'm not going to leave her again.

nottheeviltwin

Dear Mundane,

While I am pleased that you desire my presence, I cannot imagine what you think to do with me. It is nigh impossible that Balthier would be here, or any of the others. This wastes our time.

Oh? Well, I suppose we could stand to hope.

[He looks contemplative, gazing upwards.]

I can think of ... six, seven ... ... no, nine ways to hack this site already. Appalling security.

[And then it's back down to the laptop, typing away rapidly.

He looks up.]

Oh, you're still - right, I suppose you're sticking around. Well, I hope you know what you're doing; there's a lot of work to be done.

[probably spoilers for skyfall in the comments; tread carefully!]

kid_apocalypse

I know...I wasn't your first choice, mun, but...I'm flattered that you considered me at all. With everything that's happened recently , I could use the break. Good luck, I guess, and if I can't go to the castle, I'm okay up in your head, too. You've got a lot of books up here I've been meaning to read!

slewthetyrant

Would you stop whinging about wanting to see him? I don't.

And I don't think he wants to see me, either.

Keep it to your other characters, I've got things to do. Dying worlds to escape, beasts to kiss, that sort of thing.

[ooc: AU details here.]

kuddelmuddel

Interesting place you're thinking of sending me to, really. It'll be nice meeting some of those angels, they seem to be quite like my kind, no?

Well, sure, they have the whole 'make mortals believe in this or that silly law and then have them slaughter each other over minor differences in interpretations' shtick going, but overall that's not too different. Could be a fun little scam to run for a while, come to think of it.

I'll have to get one of those animal companions quickly, though, can't have it too obvious that I'm no good. A bird of paradise should do fine. As long as I remember to keep it down to one head, that is. A two-headed bird wouldn't be inconspicuous, no?

Oh, and finally, make sure to stock up on those Escher pictures, dear mun. We might need them.

killedthewitch

Yes, of course, thank you for letting me out for a while. I do understand that you're putting aside time for this. I do. However, you do realize that I'm just as busy as my older siblings, right? I have work--not to forget Maria, of course.

Speaking of Maria, what do you think she'll do if you throw me into some random 'game' for your amusement? No. Of course you didn't. You didn't think very hard about this 'name' you gave me, either.

Is it any surprise that I'm upset?

afallenstar

All I can say is you are far too easily influenced.

firstaid

Oh, Miss Mundane! I'm so happy that your canon review is going well. I was afraid you wouldn't get around to it and that I would be forced to leave in the near future. While I'd understand if circumstances came to that, I'm honestly really happy they didn't.

Thank you so much for finding the time for me and 'strengthening my voice', as you say. I couldn't tell you enough just how much I appreciate it!

hands4healing

Miss Mun,

I'm going to hope that you're actually still feverish, and that's why you're considering games again.

Look at what happened in the last thing you signed me up for - I got to a train station and the game ended after three posts - in my thread. That's not worth it!

Besides, don't you have writing to do?

Current Mood: aggravated

twofacedteacher

What's this? What on earth are you doing back here?

Are you really that eager to disappoint people again? You know you're just going to drop every tag you're given. Just like always, am I right~?

Now, now, don't mope. I'm trying to be gentle with you, dear!

Of course... if you're more for tough love, we can certainly do that too. Tee hee~

If you are this insistent about sending me there, then so be it. If it is my duty, then I've no choice but to serve it well.

[Her words are strong and steady, keeping to the point and nothing more. Sharp as always, Sakura.]

Just don't neglect your own training now. I will not be made a fool of if you fall behind; do not reflect that weakness back at me. We bot have no time to waste dwelling on such matters.

spicedreams

My my. You want me on the surface, and Atsuko behind the mirror?

You're right--it's completely subjective--but I don't know if the rules of the game will agree with you.

[She brightens, smiles playfully.]

But then again, the internet is more like a dream than anything else! And who but me to make the argument, right?

showofhands

Yeah, yeah, we got in. It'll still be a bit before they let you post. Quit the hysterics. You're acting like Kara after two glasses of white lightning. I still think you're in over your head with this. I don't belong in this place. You need a new main squeeze, lady. Some puzzle pieces don't fit no matter how hard you hammer on them. I give this a 30-70 ratio of turning out good or blowing up on you. You haven't even been in a game before. We're both flying blind, here.

But I suppose any chance of talking you into a new muse was dead and buried when you sent the app in. Just remember: no 'shipping' or I catch the train north right outta this headspace in a fivecount, clear?

And one last thing: get some decent jazz up in here if I'm going to be renting out the place.

Do you know how incredibly rude it is to just to drop everything and leave a bear hanging while he was in the middle of something important?!

[What...moping?]

Fine, I see how it is, missy. I don't even wanna go back, no one will even be there this time! So tough cookies, like I'd even do it after you abeardoned me like that. I can't even look at you right now.

So, uh... What exactly are you planning on doing with me? I'm a reporter. I report on stuff... There's nothing here to report on, unless you want me to write about how cramped it is in here. Don't think my editor is going to go for that.

Oh, and thanks for the username. Really. [Hear that sarcasm, there]

lady_of_rohan

Dear lady, this is a truly unwise course. You do not, and heavens blessing be it, understand what defines my life. I am not words on paper, nor fleeting images to fade to memory.

I am flesh, I am blood and morrow and sinew. I live and breathe the life of my people, and it is to them I am beholden, not to you. I am tasked with leading those my uncle no longer can, and I will not fail in this duty.

Do not undertake me lightly, nor think I am so easy to cast aside. I am woman, and I am no one's whim.

takes_careofher

Mundane, this is-- this is pointless.

Even if we did find a Kaylee, would we really want her to come to Asgard? --What? No, of course I want to see her again, but that's-- that's beside the point. You and I both know how dangerous Asgard can be.

I-- I just don't want to see her get hurt.

notaglitch

Ookay okay okay- You don't think you're gettin' in a little over your head here? Look, I know you're excited n'all about my movie- which granted why WOULDNT'YA be?- but appin' me would mean you got THREE characters in the city all at once!

First that robot makin' guy- ...and then that adventure boy who you've barely had for what, a week? An' now you're thinkin' about tossin' ME in too?

Gotcha, gotcha, y'swear I'm gonna be the last new character of yours for a while. You say that now, but check back with me a few weeks from now ok? Then we'll see how many dozens of new characters you've got floatin' around in that already full't'burstin' head of yours!

I'm kiddiiiin', but you gotta admit that I've got a point!

HOLD UP.

You mean you've finally acknowledged that I'm in your head, finally decided on this journal name thing for me, finally uploaded these icons for me, and you're now finally posting this thing here, and you actually have no plans whatsoever to do much of anything else with me?!

What kind of awful person are you?!

You get my hopes up, and then crush them in one fell swoop! Well, I won't stand for it! I won't sit back and let you tell me that I'm only going to see some action in 'musebox' or 'memeland'! I want to be where everyone else is!

You're so unfair, Mun!

donerunning

Revising two whole pages is a big deal, especially with how long you've gone putting it off. All you have to do is finish revising this chapter, upload it, then you can start on the epilogue. I know it's been driving you up the wall and you're not sure you like the timeline for it, but you can redo that. You're so very close, please don't give up now.

I even promise not to bite~

Oh, and ignore Terran's grumbling over the marriage thing. We'll just count that as already done, hm?

princeofchaos

Is this really a good idea? I mean, what if there are no games for OCs of my... nature? And why'd you have to give me this journal name? I was hoping to keep my dad's identity a secret for half a second, even if it's kind of obvious... maybe Aunt Twilight could've taught me some kind of illusion spell, but if I see her here she won't know me, so now what am I supposed to do?

I appreciate giving me more backbone than when you had me at LJ, but were the horns really necessary? I just want to look like anypony else. I don't want to look more like my father.

[Someone sounds mildly annoyed, but also surprisingly sincere.] We did not all walk in at once.

There weren't five of us, we didn't charge through the door and demand that you write about any of us.

You don't even actually understand what I do for a living, and your only inspiration is "gosh you look great in those pictures."

That's not a great reason to expose anyone to invincible and completely ruin their lives. [He frowns] None at all.

However, I'm being told that you don't see reason and that I should just go along with it. Fine. and if you insist on making more of my...new...compatriots journals I'd like you to warn everyone first.

[His voice is tight, expression grim as he rubs his temples with one hand and leans back.] You're going to give me the worst headache. I can tell.

carbonell

I would like to express my annoyance at this new idea of yours. I will not attempt to breed sheep. As much as wool and thread would be a good addition to the village I doubt that even I can create sheep out of nothing. It's simply an impossability. I plan to stick with logical things thank you. I've a library to study and penicillen to create and diversify.

[Muttering from mun.]

Good gravy Haru, I'm a scientist not a seemstress. I'll do what must be done to keep myself from dying of hypothermia, but I haven't the time to go about clothing everyone in this world. I'd much rather keep to myself until I've found something good to reveal. Well, perhaps I'll look up that Roxy woman and see if we can collaborate.

leader_in_blue

..... Really?

Remember what I said when you first made this journal? How is ten episodes a season?

And that's not even the worst part! We barely survived fighting the Shredder, and we barely beat Dogpound and saved our home! Now you want to separate me from my brothers and take me to another world? That I'm supposed to save? By fighting in a war against giants?

....Flynn and Hope were right about you. You make Raph look sane.

I hope you know what you're doing Mun, cause that would make one of us.

candidly

I like how you make bad decisions late at night. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Yeah, yeah, I missed you too. Like a foot misses between-the-toes fungus.

Though you're a bit behind with figuring out what, exactly, is happening back in my world, aren't you? Not that I really blame you. America going to hell in a hand-basket isn't exactly new, but crossovers are always hard to follow. Maybe you should catch up sometime. And finish making those icons you said you wanted to make.

I'm not encouraging anything else, just--... It'd be nice to know I'm not going to be forgotten again.

I think we have issues.
