Dearest mundane,

Well, now, isn't this interesting? I was not your first choice, but you certainly did pick a good one in the end. I know that the... DJ... is rather annoyed that she couldn't go instead, but she shall have to wait. Perhaps she'll get lucky and be able to go there later in the season, hm?

Either way, I do appreciate your choice of things to teach. I think muggle studies is absolutely lovely and even more so considering that you have every intention on my teaching these lovely students what I can about both wizarding and muggle haute couture. Perhaps pick up a few potential models to mold into the next generation, perhaps? My time is slowly coming to an end, I was lucky to get eleven years out of it thus far.

I must say that I do not appreciate you on being so intent on getting Fancypants into the game, there truly is no reason to complicate matters that much. Particularly given that I have lots of potential with the rest of the staff, you know.

Please keep these things in mind.

Your dearest muse,

Fleur~~-de-Lis~~ Artis

Why are you crying!? Stop that! I already said that it's not worth being upset over because everyone played the best game they possibly could have!

Shut up, I'm not upset! You're the one who's acting upset for some stupid reason!

And I don't see how the fact that you made far to many icons is my problem!

quitetheconversationlist

Hold up.

I'm not even in the game yet, and already you plan on doing all... that to me? Frag no!

You and your messed up castmates can take Operation: Break All Robots and shove it up your-

[Whoa language Cliffjumper.]

Do what you want with me, but leave Arcee out of this!

[Nope.]

I don't even want to know what all of you have planned for everyone else.

aircommand

We both should have seen that one coming.

hope_springs

To the wiggy hen upstairs,

Just... do me a favor, will ya? Get serious about this. I mean, if you're gonna do it, do it, sheila, but for great googies' sake, don't just go watch the bloody movie again. There's books - all of yours, yeah, and that Joyce fella's too - to sort me out. There's more to this Bunny than wisecracks, y'know - that'd be the showpony's department.

I'm the Guardian of Hope; a little cheer now and then doesn't kill me. There's aesthetics, planning, imagination, dedication, craft, and... and passion to what I do for the kids. Don't take that away from me, ever. The "kangaroo" knocks are plenty.

... Oh I don't worry about the combat prowess at all, dove. I know better than to doubt you on that.

We got a pact then? ... Alright.

Frightening? I think the word you're looking for is "exciting" — and so, just relax. It'll be fine as long as you catch up, which you will, correct?

former_wonderbolt

You're kidding, right?

You've got to be kidding me. You drag me out of your headspace and make me an account for something I don't want to do to make fun of me, huh? Yeah, yeah, I know, "former Wonderbolt". It's not cute, you know. Even if it is true, going from Wonderbolts to Shadowbolts for our ove-... new princess.

Don't think I'm going to remain happy for any of this, you know as well as I do how deep these scars go. Just get it over with, will you? You know you'll just get bored of this and put me back into your little box until you next find it hilarious.

Hello mun.

So, you have caught me. I am sure you feel very proud of yourself. Well don't. Because if you turn your back for one second, I will be gone.

But then, you know that as well as I do, don't you? What are you planning to do with me, anyhow? I do not feel even remotely inclined to sit here looking pretty. In fact, I have people to see and places to go.

So, either give me something to challenge me, or... well you know what happens when I'm bored, don't you?

gunsmoke_rose

Is there any reason why you've decided to bother me again?

Just let me go, you've got others up here that you can pester.

richest

Your baseless concern about "how I'm going to make friends" is beginning to grate on my nerves. I have no use for people who want to waste my precious time... that includes you.

timeparty

oh mun i knew you didnt forget
we had a really splendid time with the whole gang didnt we!
but that was so long ago
maybe its time for you to move on

yes i miss them too and the memes are great though you never finish a thread when you start one
do you really think you could handle apping to a game?
death city was a lot for both of us but we both know they dont all have to be that way

first things first if youre going to app at a game!
stop! quit that groaning! you know you need a reread!

fireworks_plz

Don't look so happy, brat. I haven't shown up for no reason. I'm here to set you straight:

If you suddenly get the urge to be a dumbass and throw me somewhere again I'm gonna break your goddamn arm. Got it? I know how your mind works and the fact that those gears are shifting again only means trouble so forget it! Leave me in peace or else!

shineslightintodarkness

Madam,

While I am pleased I will no longer have to suffer memory loss, I wonder about the wisdom of bringing me to a place where an unprepared person may accidentally stumble into my world and get trapped by the dark forces that lurks in the mists.

Admittedly the ability to pursue through information unavailable in my homeworld is really quite tempting, I just hope it will not interfere with my chosen vocation.

-Dr. Rudolph Van Richten.

inbrotherhood

So, you've got a journal and now you have some icons. Now what do you intend to do? I've no interest in being part of your poorly thought out plans no matter how exciting they may seem right now. Your history with multiple characters is nothing to be admired and whatever you try now will do doubt end the same way. You have finally managed to find a balance that works for you, take care not to mess it up already by overestimating your ability to handle me on top of everything else.

If you intend to stick things out and follow through with your plans, fine, but do not bother if all you intend to do is fool around. I'd rather be left to my peace and quiet if you have no intentions of being productive.

chaosdivided

I'd be happy to lend a hand. I'm pretty handy with repairs, you know, and I can co-pilot if I need to.

But wouldn't it be nice if everyone could come to an accord without fighting?

vainqueurdeluxe

I don't need a warden. I don't need to change, despite what you might think.

Having my brother around, though, might make this place a little more bearable. You could work on that instead of trying to pair me with someone who's going to try and make me "a better person".

knightofhyperion

I don't care what game you throw me in. Just don't screw it up. Think you can manage that, or do I need to hold your hand with this, too? Trust me, you think you might be the one in charge here, but I know your track record. If I even think you're going that way, you can forget being in charge of snot.

I'll be watching.

wottagal

Would you stop going on about that? I heard you loud and clear the first six hundred times. This is why I always say you take what you want, when you want it. Serves you right for waffling around like that.

Not that I see why you'd wanna read about that sorry old sop's life anyway, mind you. 'Course he probably had a lot of adventures, did a lotta stupid, brave stunts, had to beat impossible odds and rush headlong into dangers that woulda send most men screaming and he still came out on top every time...

[...]

Shut your trap. I don't want to read your Companion copy.

electricus

You know what mun? I'm hurt.

You pluck me from my home, and just expect me to sit idly around while you make up your mind over whether or not you want to "keep me"?

Yeah, I don't think so. So why don't you just come over here so I can give you a friendly goodbye handshake.

fooling_around

Are you sure reviving me is such a good idea, if only for the idea that there's a movie coming out? Shouldn't

waiting4this have the first say about that, too?

Well... I wasn't very happy with my name change but still...

highclassgal

[Canon is the first season of "Gundam 00", before...certain events transpired.]

Mun, I'm going to go easy on you to start with. You do not have to go looking for a game to put me in. Instead, I insist that I just be dropped right here and wait for some other person, probably one of lower class, to lead me into one of the games that they're playing. So essentially, these people will be doing the work for me and you!

Does that sound like a compromise? I'd love meeting new people and you could use some relax time, so it works out for us both! Aw thanks, I knew you'd see it my way! Everyone always does eventually!

je_suis_avec_toi

Madame,

Why can't I find a warden on my own? You say it isn't done, and the Admiral won't care. I think I've made it clear often enough that I don't care what the Admiral thinks. I am tired of waiting for the sword to fall. Someone must get that file sooner or later.

I demand a warden, and you won't find me one, I'll find one myself! It's too bad that most of the ones I know are already paired.

Oh...I'm in?

You're insane.

disillusionedloyalist

This is entirely unnecessary. Pointless.

I have other things to do, [ yes, like brooding :| ] and so do you.

Enough of this.

I seem to be asking myself the same question.

These ideas you have, they need to stop at once. This name needs to be altered as well.

heldin

An open letter to the Lady Mun,

I cannot fault you for acting on whim, especially when you love the dance so much.

I'll remind you that I am no longer a girl chasing her toy. And I will also remind you that these are darker times, darker than we could have ever anticipated. A vengeful queen is much, much worse than a Mouse King intending to take over my kingdom. The grin on your face worries me and I only ask you to proceed with caution, for I have lost too many fairies and the Order of the Teas has all but disappeared.

I am not Queen, yet, but I have reason for concern!

Sincerely,

Lady Clara, Order of the Gingerbread

lord_and_creator

So, you hear my history my...tortured past and suddenly, you wish to hear from me again. Have you heard me, whispering in the shadows? I have only asked one, simple thing: let me free! Let me out upon the galaxy, as is my right! As is my destiny! You have merely prevented me from attaining it, temporarily! If I could, I would crush you, like an insect, beneath my life-support chair. You know this, I know this - and yet...I continue to exist, in your mind. Fascinating, is it not? The human mind is more flexible than I had previously given it credit. It will merit further study.

But you wish a price, do you not? Of course you do. All humans do. Your belief in 'selflessness' is a mere construct, easily pierced by circumstance. But in this...one instance, I shall repeat myself. Supposedly, the 'line' as you call it...gives you chills? Very well. A price for my temporary release. We have our contract. Beware, mundane. I shall extract a higher cost in future.

I...will not die! I will not die! This is not the end! This is only...the beginning!

varmitech

Patience? It's getting pretty dang hard for me to keep track of something I barely have with you, and patience is at the very top of my list. What's with these KIDS that keep popping up everywhere? I thought you came to this place because you were sooo excited to-

...

Ok- Ok so let me get this straight. You're not going to do anything more with me until you get through tossing me at that hunk of bolts that calls itself a robot ~~monkey~~? THEN you'll do something else? Cause I'm getting tired of sitting around- I should be all over this city now that I've got my jet!

Ugh, I KNOW it can't move.

Oh and another thing. I do NOT appreciate the presence of a certain pair in this dumb city, and you know exactly who I'm talking about. WHYYY did you let them put my jet within a rock's throw of them!? Are you trying to drive me insane?

I hope you know what you're doing, because so far I don't like it one bit.

...

I still get to use mind control on the monkey though....right?

commanderbuzzcut

I find it a little disconcerting that you're absolutely thrilled that someone showed you the Illusive Man around here. A little disconcerting? No, change that to a lot.

I also find it disturbing that you'd put me in the front lines just for this.

Are you going to find me a place or not?

ninemechanicalmuses

[Sigh]

I know you get terribly excited about the prospect of this game whenever it comes up, but you have yet to even finish my app! Yes I know you finished the one for Lucrezia, but that one didn't get accepted, remember? ~~thank the muses~~

Now don't look at me like that, you know what I mean. You've planned for how many of us to go in now? You've been saying you'll app me for months and have you yet? The game's going to go into endgame soon and then opportunity over!

Yes, yes, you had a good excuse for some of those months, especially the last few. I can't imagine how wretched all that illness must have been, still, you need to get in gear on this or you'll end up missing it and looking like the girl who cried "wolf" all at once.

surgicalprodigy

Really?!

Wait..no..really?!

You're gonna actually play me somewhere, in a real game with fancy rules?!

Let's do it!

keepsthemsafe

Stop askin' for Rick! He ain't comin'.

And no one else is gonna come either. You're makin' yourself look like stupid. [And he doesn't know what's worse, the fact that it makes him look stupid too or the fact that it bothers the hell out of him-having a writer that looks like an idiot.]

remembermeandrun

Well. Things aren't really looking good for us, are they? Or just you, that is and me by extension since I sort of exist in your mind.

But look, I know you were hoping for it to be me without too much confusion, or for some kind of answers in this...Christmas thing coming up, but really if you think about it, where's the fun in learning everything at once? Besides, even if things don't go our way, there's always this place, yeah? And that forum you've got me on.

So cheer up. It will be Christmas, after all.

[Wanda has her hands knotted together in front of her, like she always does when she's trying to hide her nervousness. The dog with her, who is bearlike in his enormousness and covered in black fuzz, can tell, and he's whining and leaning against her, occasionally swiping a donut-sized paw against her leg.]

Look...we've done okay together for a year and a half now, but now you're pushing it. I am willing to abandon my homeworld altogether to avoid any more family drama. That should make my feelings pretty damn clear. The idea of having to have the Big Giant Talk with my brother is not real comfortable, okay? And what if some version of him shows up? Again? I'm getting sick of trying to be civil with people who practically give me flashbacks every time I lay eyes on them. Especially when they turn out to be jerks.

....what do you mean, wussing out? I'm not wussing out. I'm tough enough. But I'm sick of this crap. It's like I can never escape it.

[She scowls and folds her arms, looking away.] It's not wussy to want a fresh start somewhere where I can start to...feel better.

lesyeuxsansvisage

Mme,

If you're looking to play at vicarious adventure through the textual exploits of a fictional character, you'd do better to pick one with at least a vague interest in playing along with you.

I'm through with exploits, AS YOU WELL KNOW. With me, you'll find only the vagaries of QUIET APARTMENT LIVING.

Undoubtedly you mean to protest my retirement. After all, if "Love Never Dies", why should I be so audacious as to expect to catch a little rest? Well, perhaps you're right! Perhaps, like Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees or any other putrescent Nietzschean parody, love gives only the appearance of death, but inevitably hops right back up again to shuffle through the same old motions in eternal recurrence. HOW FITTING IT WOULD BE TO DRAG LE MORT VIVANT THROUGH THAT MACABRE FOLLY! Unfortunately for you, while love may carry on ad nauseum despite all odds and preferences to the contrary, FANDOM IS MORTAL, AND THIS ONE IS DEAD!

Anyway, more to the point, what's a story of abject ugliness and unrequited desire sans the requisite valorization of the pain of The Jilted Male™? A joke, my dear. It's a CRUEL JOKE, and I suggest you AVOID MAKING ME THE BUTT OF IT.

That said, I hope you'll accept my kind regards and my warm, contingent wishes as to your continued good health and fortune,

O. P.

whosyouralldaddy

Such impertinence should not be tolerated against the King of Asgard, but I shall make an exception for the time being... A king must show mercy from time to time, after all.

...And as I understand it, it is not necessarily a slight against me. I would simply prefer to keep such things private.

((ooc: Canon is A Fairytale for the Demon Lord))

rememberscarlet

I'm not sure what you are attempting to accomplish... or why you would bother with me.

Though, something tells me that your choice of prison is strangely appropriate for me.

...I suppose, I don't mind, if it allows me to atone for my deeds. If you insist on going through with this, then you won't find me protesting.

[Whether his punishment is decided by the Magic Council... or delivered by this tower... it probably doesn't matter. ~~...Someone may have neglected to tell him about certain other fact that comes with where he is going. Like uhm. His homeworld being destroyed. Ooops?~~]

Okay, so you took me out of that place and now you want to put me back in? How are you even going to explain what I've been doing this whole time?

Yeah. The last thing I want for my birthday is to go back to school. Thanks.

withthisherringseal

...I'm finding the change as unnecessary as you are.

death_and_chicken

Hey, Mun.

Guess you didn't give up on me yet! That's good. I'm happy you're enjoying the game, even if it does put me through some... stuff. Say, how many times have I died, so far?

... Just once? Wow, you're at the very beginning, huh? You have a ways to go. Don't worry, I'm rooting for you!

catari

Oh?

So now that the fool of my Master is going there, you feel all pumped up? Can you compromise with that weak will of yours?

I'll await for you to take proper action now, then. I'm not fond of being given false hope.

okei

Mun,

It's been a while and I don't think anything you or I could do will ever make her just pop up out of nowhere. Even if it's more than likely your fault she hasn't been around. Anyway. Just learn from the experience and move on. It's all you can do at this point.

[A beat.]

And while you're at it, stop putting me on the back burner.

theringfinder

I should certainly hope you're not planning on doing anything with me! I've far too much to do at home for any sort of adventures beyond what Gandalf might suppose. I've no time to run off to space or ships or sail or do anything of that sort.

[Businesslike] I mean I don't suppose I'd be opposed to those things. Eventually. [Frown frown frown] In the long run. If you have the time and you're quite busy anyway and so.

[He claps his hands together] As it is I think I've quite a lot to do with your head anyway! You certainly have some...fascinating characters who've made your acquaintance! I shall be far too busy making myself known to them to have any particularly dangerous adventures.

If you're worried about my presence, you have only your family to blame and should anyone feel the need to complain do as I do. Remember that it is the duty of those who are less then you to speak ill of their betters.

[Look at the sackville-bagginses mun. Seriously.] So anyone who should say something is clearly less then you.

Right? Right. Now. Tea?

cherryassassin

Can you truly call it that, though? It isn't as if this is the first time you and I have gone down this particular path. This is merely the first time I've stepped from your mind since you changed the venue of your particular hobby. I do suppose you need to get my voice correct, however, so have your fun. I'm not like the other characters in the group you carry in your mind. I want to be somewhere. If you can't find somewhere sufficient, you're better off forgetting me entirely.

And if Subaru's there? Well, more's the fun.

materialboy

A... game? I am thinking to myself that this may not be a very good idea. I still have a Master to serve, after all. Even being here without his permission is... most detestable.

239

You don't want to play with me? I promise I won't do anything bad! I will stick to my spellbook and I won't do more bad magic, none at all! I don't want to go to sleep again.

I just want to have friends...

graynbowdash

Mun, I'm gonna level with you: you've been in your little funk for a little too long and it's weighing me down. Your tags have slowed down and you're beating yourself up a little too much. You remember telling yourself how stupid it was to apply to so many places at once, right? You remember telling yourself how it wouldn't work, right? It really shouldn't be a surprise you're here right now.

...just don't let it weigh you down too long, okay? I know what it's like to get in over your head, but if you stop now, it'll be for nothing. And try not to worry too much about you losing my voice or anything like that, okay? I'm not all that complicated of a girl; you just gotta keep up and you'll be fine.

speedysis

Look, I know.

I know how incredibly creepy and awful it is to wish your brother's grave was still stuck in your backyard, especially when it turns out that he isn't dead after all and sleeps just down the hallway. And that's great, that's amazing, I'm thrilled that he's alive but...

But I can't talk to alive Ollie like I could talk to dead Ollie.

And don't say that I can still talk to dad's headstone. It isn't the same.

isogamer

I knew you'd come around User-Mun-Lady!

And thanks, you know, for not actually mentioning the zombie thing, I'd kind of like to forget that.

Two years of you not pestering me over stupid things. Possibly the best two years of my life. And now here you are, pestering me once again and completely ruining an otherwise fantastic day on my part. Good job, let's get you a gold star for your work. * Well, okay, it's a gold asterisk, but that's close enough to a star so shut up. Seriously, though, what do you want? You're thinking about dragging me around unwillingly to places again? You already know I'm gonna fight you every step of the way. So what if what you have in mind is a setting you think I can actually "work" in, where do I get any say in what I do? At least it doesn't involve bears like that one place you were thinking about two years ago. But just because it doesn't doesn't mean I'll automatically be totally okay with whatever stupid nonsense you have in mind this time. Because I'm not. See, there's this thing called "asking nicely", you should try that instead of your present approach of "drag Midori or whoever else I feel like by the collar of their shirt". Jerk.

interspace

You're very excited. I get that, it's awesome! One little idea, a tweak to the tried and true formula, and you're off like a rocket. Simple pleasures for simple minds—okay, okay, I'm kidding. You have fantastic taste in old muses to pick up and dust off, though, and I appreciate the effort.

But a sugar glider? Isn't that touching a little too close to cosmic irony? Not... that it isn't my entire life already. So, okay, never mind. At least I'll get to keep doing the checking-other-worlds thing, which is the part I'd be most worried about. Like I said, good taste.

Not gonna lie, Mun. The idea of flying solo isn't really all that appealing to me. That, and I don't think T-bone would appreciate me runnin' off and having adventures without him, even if it is against my will. The space ship thing is pretty cool, but if it means that Megakat City, not to mention the entire world are destroyed, you can count me out.

Mun.

If there is any inconsistencies between your portrayal of me and how I am originally, it is of no fault to you. I do not understand what is causing you such grief.

Regardless, with your ability, I see no possible problems that could arise. You simply need to be more sure of yourself, I am sure you will do fine.

And... and sis is a Summon Spirit, now. [ Mithos really isn't sure what to think about that. ] ... well... it's not what I wanted, but... I guess it's better than her being dead, right? Maybe I can even form a Pact with her.

... I wish Dhaos wouldn't have told me I died, though. I could have lived with my sister in the new Tree. Forget the humans fighting... I saved them once, and they repaid me by killing Martel. I'm not going to waste my time on them again.

You better believe we're getting to the end of the story, I don't care how much you end up having to write after you hit fifty thousand. You so owe me this, girl. It's not like there's even much left, anyway; just skip over that one part and focus your between-classes time on the, uh... showdown and aftermath. The end's where you really owe me.
