Dec. 8th, 2012

I really don't think this is a good idea. But I guess it's your choice.

And I get that you're nervous. Just don't forget about me, okay? I'm not you. I'm in your head, but I'm not you. I'm just not going through the same things you are. Otherwise, this could be fun, you know? Don't take it too seriously. Just throw me out there and see what happens.

Relax. You'll get the hang of it.

( Spoilers for both the movie and the latest backstory comic )

privateparts

Fine, I won't complain. You've had worse ideas. At least it's linear and makes sense. At least there's a payoff, for me and someone else. [ Assuming this idea works. Big assumption. ]

One question, though: could you have picked a location a little less like home? I don't think you could have. If you laugh at me trying to use a washing machine I'll - it'll be bad, you wait.

No, I will not flood the laundry. It's only buttons. Stop laughing.

faithinfairytales

Nice username you got there mun, but would you keyword my icons? Thanks.

As for games and such, I'm not really that bothered where I go. I like my Mom to be there ~~either of them~~ but I really don't mind.

robinred

You barely posted it. There's no telling how "out of hand" things will actually get. [ There's an edge to the words, because out of hand is not what he had been planning for. ] It's too early to tell if there will be any significant impact apart from loss of ammunition and one building which was already a hazard. There are much more important things to be worrying about. [ Most of which happened on the same day, coincidentally. --the wedding, the foxes, the ghosts, the clone. Others of which gain nothing by being worried over. The Big Thing, though? Well, one of the big things? It's all on him. ]

And you can stop jeering. You know as well as anyone that this wasn't the intention. [ See? He even feels the need to defend himself from what he already knows. ] It was supposed to help us, not. . .

Dammit, you're the one doing this, not me! [ Not taking responsibility, kiddo? Eh, we'll see how that works out in-game. ] It wasn't my fault. You're supposed to be asleep, anyway.

hearts_star

Hey, hey, it's okay for me to be here, right? I mean, you asked mom, right? She said it's okay? Or dad? 'Cause I don't want them to be mad at you or nothing. They've got Keyblades, 'member? Well, not mom, but dad does. And uncle Sora.

If I play with the Shadows here, is mom gonna find out?

silvertree

[ While it's quite uncommon to see the Lord of the Golden Woods anything other than placid; it would seem that the happenings transpiring elsewhere has won his ire. As protective he is of his wife and daughter, it's little wonder why Celeborn is quite passionate now. ]

That lecherous cur has no business speaking with one of her caliber. My daughter's purity mustn't be soiled by someone so crass. 'Tis a wonder why I allowed her union with Lord Elrond to transpire if men of lower class still pursue her so recklessly.

[ A disgruntle sigh. ] Is it truly so foolish of me to be so concerned for her welfare? She is my only daughter, a blessing in the form of a gift by the Valar themselves.

I cannot linger here when perverts and despots alike pine for her beauty.

intheattic

If you think there are too many people in your head already, how do you suppose I feel about it?

There are others in here more than willing to talk to the people you're all giddy about. Seems to me like the real challenge is getting Garrett to shut up, for instance.

Learn some impulse-control for crying out loud.

statusquodebt

( ooc )

I can't believe you actually drink that disgusting sludge, mun.

[ Alfred and his female counterpart, Amelia, watch with narrowed, unimpressed eyes as their mun gulps down yet another cup of steaming hot black tea, straight, their mouths set into thin, contemptuous lines. Their arms are crossed over their chests while they listen with little sympathy apparently to the excuse the girl gives them. ]

Coffee is hot too, y'know. It makes just as much steam. You could have that. Or chicken noodle soup, like every other normal American does when they're sick.

[ Chicken noodle soup is one of the mun's least favorite foods. She doesn't drink coffee either . Too bitter! ]

Well, at least it doesn't taste like oppression!

[ Alfred nods firmly in obvious agreement with Amelia's statement and pumps a fist that he makes with his right hand a little. Over two and a half centuries have passed and they still take tea way too personally.

Don't you guys have anything better to do? Like tags? ]

No— O-Oh! You've been busy! We figured you weren't... y'know, in a big rush to get them done or anything like that... since you've had work and then being sick and stuff...

What she means is, she wouldn't shut her mouth to let me get a word in, and now she's gone chicken, because flirting with France, and Scotland, and Spain, and Arthur is one thing, but doing that—

[ He means sex, by the way. ]

—with any of them is more complicated.

That's not it!

Yeah, it is! You're a big, fat scaredy-cat.

'Am not!

'Are too.

Alfred!

[ And cue Amelia cutting off Alfred's obnoxious laughter by giving Nantucket a good yank, which prompts him, in turn, to shove her off her chair and onto the floor. She gets up on her knees with an angry growl and makes to tackle him, but the mun intervenes with the Mighty Rolled-Up Newspaper of Damage Control and thwacks them both upside the head with it. They get the message. ]

Okay, fine! Sunday. We'll do them all then since it's your day off.

Anyway, mun, we want to say we're proud of you. It's been kind of rough, but you were a real hero! Thanks for not putting us to shame.

And thanks for securing British dick for her.

ALFRED!!

[ There are not enough Mighty Rolled-Up Newspapers in the world... ]

cheesemaster

....

I had a daughter at that place? Or rather a me had one? Was it that girl I spoke to a few months ago?

[A version of her]

I...had a daughter there...

[Doesn't seem to want to ask anymore questions, stunned in silence.]

knightoflight

....he didn't even say goodbye.

ninemechanicalmuses

Look, mundane, I know you haven't been having the best time of it, but if you're so insistent on getting me into that game (finally) you really must get back to work on that application. It's nothing close to finished and applications are open right now.

You even reserved me.

I know we aren't always on the best of terms but as you know I'm bored and if I can't get back to Agatha and The Castle I might as well play along and tell you I have faith in you. You know what you're doing, I promise.

wannabolt

So you're already calling it best episode this season?

Well, I can't really blame you. It had plenty of my awesomeness to go around, and, between you and me, Scoots did need an episode. And it took, what? Three seasons for her to get one? Those writers sure are slow!

But, hey, if we're lucky, maybe we'll see more of the squirt around here now that she's gotten some serious screen time. If we do, well... heh, I wouldn't be opposed to taking her under my wing. Season 1 canon point or not, that's totally something I'd do.

Besides, somepony's gotta show her the road to coolness... not to mention awesomeness and radicalness, but you probably knew that.

'til then, I'll be counting down the days until that Wonderbolts episode.

vesper_lynd

What did...how? How did you even find me!!?

And why bring me here to this "head space" when there is still work to be done.

...

What do you mean he's alive. You- you're lying! You cruel hateful person why would you say such a thing to me!?

[There's a narrowing of the eyes]

I don't like how happy you sound. So you better bloody well get to explaining. And none of this "you'll find out" nonesense.

...

I think I hate you.

dancingheart

No, training your Pokemon "wrong, on purpose, as a joke" isn't going to get you anywhere. [It's also a really elaborate, pointless form of abuse, but that's sort of a given.]

...

...

[He is NOT happy with his mun's course of action, to say the very least.]

Seriously, just...release it, or give it to someone who treats their Pokemon with respect. What's the point in just using it as something to point and laugh at?

sweetladykisses

You're acting like it wasn't already obvious that I'm awesome.

hadbadays

I was about to say that there's really no need to even consider it, but then, Sherlock is there without a babysitter. It's a little worrying.

But I won't mind if you decide not to do it after that supposed careful consideration, either. Even if... sources tell me you talk about making careful decisions but always end up deciding quickly anyway.

I guess it doesn't matter that much either way to me, I feel like I've already chased Sherlock to hell and back as it is, so just... be smart about it. Jesus Christ.

servingmichael

Mundane.

I believe the word you are looking for "unimpressed". Not "disappoint".

Amusing, what petty little thing all of you are, what cruelty to visit upon even fictional beings, how you seem determined to prove Lucifer had a point about you - though given your feelings I suppose you wouldn't see that as a bad thing.

No, finding out where my Father has been hiding of late does not fall into the "pros" side of the list. There really was not much of a benefit to your plotting, other than to induce trauma.

That goes for you and your cohorts but they are not within my ability to speak to. Do try to allow us for a calm passing of winter, as you keep pleading for your own life.

thleepy

I want to go back! I liked it there. I didn't want to go!

I know it's all different now, but, but a lot of my friends are still there, and I want to meet all the new people, and I wanted to go to the party, and I'm hungry, and... and I miss it....

[ yeah but nik what about home ]

I-- I like home, too! But, but Exsilium is-- it's nicer. It's nicer than here.

...I can't bring everyone with me?

hotstuff

Oy, kid, you're killing me here. Which is a little ironic, don't you think?

It's not that I'm not loving the whole...sit around and watch you play all the other chumps thing. Really, it's a treat. Every day is a gift, we call it the present, yadda yadda yadda. It's just that I'm a busy guy. A busy guy with things to do. Like that whole Underworld schtick, and the death thing. I hear that one's important.

So you and me, how's about we make a little deal? You either get me a new box of Cubans or something to, yknow, actually do, and I'll try not to lose the unlimited patience bestowed upon me.

Capiche?

kingofnightmares

I despise you. But you've known that for a while now, haven't you? I do, even more so now.

Let's hope your hesitation slips in and you decide to app with that other muse you had in mind.

agent_west

I'm not - you - EDIT THAT APP! I will not allow you post anything speculating on my sexuality. Just because I have a healthy appreciation of Adam Heat movies and watch the Style Channel doesn't mean anything! Quit being a jerk! Edit that. Jeez. I'm supporting my fellow redheads. I'm not - I - you can't - I like women! Ugh!

Current Mood: aggravated

cyclonia_rising

You've made the right choice. We both know this world is perfectly suited for me. I am not about to allow a chance like this pass me by. A world where will can influence reality. It holds much potential. As long as I live Cyclonia will rise again.

And the fact none of those Sky Knights are there is also a nice bonus. There will be no one to stand in my way. Now begin working on that application. I expect nothing less than perfection, mundane.

egohalfempty

I know I have absolutely no room to say to this to anyone, but...

Are you crazy?

What makes you look at me and think: "Oh yeah, there's a superhero in the making!" Is it drugs? Because that's the only explanation that makes any sense. You must be high, o- or delusional or something! I have no powers and we both know how badly I handle responsibility!

Wow. Way to sell myself short. Anyway, are you serious?! You're going to app me to a place where I have to fight crime? ...While possibly dressed like my avatar? Really?!

[ DEEP, CALMING BREATHS. That are not calming her down at all. ] Oh god, oh god, I'm going to die. I'm going to look horrible and I'm going to die and I'm going to die looking horrible.

second_last_airbender

So what? I don't need books right now. Food is a bigger priority.

It doesn't matter. [Her voice shakes as she tries to sustain a flippant tone.] They're just words. They're not real. Not like... [Her attempt at a flippant tone vanishes, and Jinora sinks to a sitting position in her mun's mind.] T-they're not real like my family was. Like Ikki o-or Dad or Meelo... or Mom, I should have protected Mom...

Books are just things I used to try and avoid how I failed all of them. I shouldn't hold onto them. I'll just focus on getting through the day. That's all that matters. Because soon the next Avatar will pop up, and they'll need me. Right? R-right.

...I don't need anything. I'm okay. Really.

maries

Dear mun,

What a crummy Christmas gift. How dare you place me in a place where I have to work just to eat? I'm not used to this. Besides I'm going to be all by myself. No Louis, or even Axel.

( she pauses a bit and sighs. )

I'd be a bit more motivated if my daughter could come too. I suppose I'll have to make the best of it. Maybe I could ask the Gods to bring Mops.

robomurphy

Kiddo, I thought you were vehemently against anything aside from my original canon. Why are you going to watch this show? It's ratings are terrible. I admit, I'd like to know what some people think happened to my son but given the clips you've watched I don't think I'm going to like this version.

[ Murph just sighs and shakes he head. Unlike most of the muses in his mun's head, he finds it pointless put up much of a fuss once the mun has made up her mind. ]

And what's this about a 'game'? I thought I was just the 'voice of reason' (your words, not mine) in your head.

[ looks at game ]

A ship that only docks occasionally and has ghosts... Right. Or a strange new world? Don't you have folks in games already who need attention?

recognize_an_opportunity

As much as I appreciate your interest in my ventures, mun, I think you're missing the point. The way I see it, you'd be better off expressing your interest in someone else. You've got enough other "characters" for that, anyway.

[A shrug.]

I don't want any problems, here, so if you insist, I guess I have no choice but to try and work with you. It might make an uneasy partnership, though.

tough

Bringing me out and making me talk, eh? Figures. You're horrible with your short attention span and imminent boredom. Go do your schoolwork and stop thinking about me. I will resort to bodily harm you know.

bender_of_gas

Ehe, you love me. Yes! I'm going to the land of creepy screen people and bun trees. When you're done with that strange man, I can go and see Korra and daddy! WOOHOO! Tell Uncle Bumi, Jinora, and that pretty hairloopy lady to come too!

PLEEEEASE???

wheeloffire

My dear mun,

It brings joy to my heart to see that your confidence is rising. Perhaps a chat with Sam's mun is all you needed! It's very good to hear that you can call yourself a good writer of me now.

( It's very kind of you to be sending her something. Though, for your sake, I hope she won't be reading this! )
.... No, I doubt that they shall find you as egotistical at all! There is no such thing as perfection, and this is something you recognize.

My congratulations, mun! It seems that your days of doubt is slowly coming to an end.

behindsmiles

Are you really sure you're okay, mun-chan? You're leaving tears all over your be!

I know our video's a little upsetting -- but please, hold yourself together!!

stay_sweet

Oh please, mun! You really think you can handle a muse like me? You've already got plenty to keep you busy, and you haven't even picked a game that you'd consider me for.

At least wait until the movie's available on DVD so you can canon review properly. I don't want to be written by a loser who won't do me justice.

~Taffyta

brooklyn_ishere

So you went and did it. Ain't sure if I should be proud of you or see if I can have you committed, because that just ain't right.

At least you let me keep my face, though, which I appreciate, bein' as how it's my face and all.

But seriously, though, it ain't like you're going to try and get other people on board with this Modern-Day Newsies-as-bike-messengers thing, so I'm just tryin' to figure out what the point of it is, that's all.

southernreaper

Well. Alrigh' I didn't expect ya t'do it, but ya did. Though, I woulda preferred the hellhound thin' be left out. Weren't no reason for it.

Oh, but ya did put me in there as a blacksmith. That I do like.

This mean ya gonna be lettin' me out a bit more? I ain't got no interest in goin' to a game. Frankly, ain't a single game out there that interests me, or ya fer that matter an' ya know it. Ya just wanna do it 'cause ya bored.

Fer right now, I'm alrigh' with private stuff an' memes.

Wouldn't mind runnin' inta a Josh though.

... Not jus' fer that reason, Miss Mun.

Current Mood: calm

not_a_farmer

...I don't want to talk about it.

longwhitecloud

You know, mun, I was wondering. This need to always app me from a war, is that because you're European? Mumland is always talking about war here and war there, so I guess it is normal in your place, but you should really look at your choices sometimes.

For example, you could take me from November 28th of this year! Just because you couldn't be there is no reason to take me from a time when I wouldn't even know that the Hobbit will be written one day, much less about the movie. And just imagine, maybe I would meet one of the people from the movies there! I could have a talk with them, from Middle Earth to its inhabitants, you know... [For a moment, the usual good-natured calm is overwhlemed by genuine excitement.] Just imagine, I could meet Legolas or Gandalf, or one of the dwarves or someone from Lotr, or... Don't you think that would be a much better idea?

[Yes, Kiwi knows that fourthwalling would not be okay, but maybe Ms mun does not, and it is a very convincing reason to not use WWI as a pull point, right...]

sophos

I am not lonely. Do I miss people? Certain individuals? Of course I do.

But I can handle myself alone just fine and even the smallest implication that I'm bothered by it is insulting. And I know you know that. So stop whining and just focus on what we're dealing with already, got it? That's the important part here.

spirit_bait

Just what exactly do you think you'll accomplish by disrupting my life and looking at games? Don't you have anything better you could be doing?! I know I sure do!

I don't CARE that you find it funny! Not everything in life revolves around you, you know! Now leave me alone! I don't have time for you AND Yuuko-san!

biothermal

Honestly, mundane...why does the thought bother you so much? I don't mind being the only one of my...type, I suppose I should say...in this place, but if it does bother you as much as you are leading me to believe, why don't you just...try inviting some of your friends?

You say you've tried before?

Then try again.

notintehkitchen

Good luck with that, but I won't be joining you unless they make diet bacon that tastes as good as the real thing. Don't even start talking to me about turkey bacon, I accidentally bought it in Paradise one time and thought I was eating a tire. Why does turkey bacon even exist? It doesn't get crispy right like the real bacon does.

a_big_damn_hero

You sure this is such a good idea? My history doesn't exactly write itself.

The Captain has been trapped where? All right. He needs someone to make sure he doesn't go and get himself killed.

justanothercop

Ma'am, that song that came to mind after watching this and feeling inspired to write me again is terrible. I just - I don't even know.

[[OOC: Here is the song - http://youtu.be/YVkUvmDQ3HY
I'm so sorry, Robbie.]]

imprudent

I'm just saying, you two should just specialize! You are the sort that is proficient in words, and she in designing...or, drawing, I suppose, if you must sound so mundane about it.

Thus, having her do more art for these "icons" will this increase your writing productivity and inspiration, promoting mutual progress between the both of you! Your writing will inspire her further on the front of drafting art!

Ugh, this isn't synergetics, booka- I will not be held back by your lack of artistic talents when there is a capable member of your krewe who can help with this!

shepherdofthefrost

Huh. Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought.

[ He's still not sure he understands what mods are, but if they decided that people are going to be able to see him, he thinks they must be pretty cool. ]

But losing all my powers and reverting back to pre-Guardian me? Still pretty bad.

barbasol

Mundane I am so proud of you.
It isn't an easy task to pick up a new muse but I believe in you.
You have taken the liberty to not only voice test me but you have also jump the gun as they say and purchase me an account.
Shucks I don't even know what to say. It's really kind.
I'm looking forward to spend some QUALITY time with you but you should probably take a breather and feed that rumbling tummy of yours.
I certainly wouldn't want a good kid like you hitting the hay with an empty stomach!

- SINCERELY,
DAD.

dreyrugr_barneska

You know I do have a job to do, and delaying it with that team isn't going to get it done. Now why don't you just let me finish the job then we'll talk about you and his kidnapper's little game okay?

Why do I get the feeling you're not listening?

[Sherry sighs shaking her head.] Fine, sooner we get this started the sooner I can finish my mission right?

forbidden_firex

And so it ends.

How dare you end it this way.

eighteen_winters

I was just surprised as you were that Saber Alter offered to help me win Shirou's heart. But I imagine it would be in both our best interests if Shirou moved on from being all weepy about "his" Saber not being present in the Tower.

Besides, I'm more then sure that I can make Shirou happy. And, If anything, it would be repayment for all the love and attention he has given me without asking anything in return. It all sounds very romantic, doesn't it?

koshermeat

You know what, Mun? You're welcome. You have the next seven days to look forward to because of me.

likely2bteamkilled

Okay, so you got some time to yourself finally. Time you lost because you decided to get a job and knew it would be a bad idea since you organics are crazy during this time of your solar cycle.

Nevermind that, back to the big issue here. Yay for you...so you now have time to bother someone and, you chose me.

...

What the slag did I do to make you even remember that I live up here? Oh slag and you've been playing those games where most everyone dies horrible deaths.

humanhero

Yo mun! I gotta say, I've been havin' a blast playin' around with Jack, an' I really look forward to that prankin' spree Saft promised. ...And heck, Oswald's lettin' me stay in his castle (even though that grey-skinned guy who was such a WAD to me is there too...), and I've made tons of new friends. They're even helpin' me look for Jake!

Yeah yeah, I know you were there, but hey- I'm pretty excited about it. Stuck in this city or not, at least it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

...bit of advice though mun-

I know you're a bit bummed that taggin's been slow around this place tonight but...

How's about usin' all this dang free time you have to- yannow- watch th'last two episodes of my show y'missed? .... I mean if you're really gonna be my player, y'can't keep storin' episodes on your DVR without even watchin' em'.

...Better do that with that show Martin's in too before y'forget....

sinister_blade

Don't give me that happy-happy look. Do you want to die, silly summoner?!

OF COURSE I'M NOT HAPPY THAT YOU THREW ME IN MEME! That place is enough by itself, I don't need--

Do NOT interrupt me when I talk!

And NO I do NOT need an assistant at that stupid school.

...what are you plotting?

reflectreveal

I am pleased that you have reconciled with the fact that I remain rather than sweeping me and the aforementioned under your attempts to further your education. Really. I thank you for allowing me to surface again, even with what is at stake in your own affairs. For what it is worth, I highly doubt that I will find my friends.

...So you wonder why I am still here.
Permit me to selfish, just this once. I don't want to be alone. If my friends have not made the leap to this site and have merely faded away, I will find additional friends. And a home would be an amazing start. Yes, I'm aware of that, but thank you for reiterating that.

heretolookhot

Of course I miss it. It was better to me than Lima ever was. I wouldn't call that hot-ass mess a home unless I meant it.

But it's been a long time. Things are bearable here. Not great, but have they ever been? If I go back to Death City, and it's been over a year...

It might not be the same, that's all I'm saying. Seeing everyone here move on with their lives is bad enough, I don't need to repeat it over there.

You know, whatever. Lima, Louisville, Death City, I'm fucked either way. Do what you want.

comeback

Just leave me alone. I couldn't go there anyway.

Even if I wanted to.

I think we have issues.
