You're really, really bad at making decisions, aren't you? [He appears to be half-amused, half-exasperated.] Well, if I can keep swaying you toward the side of not dropping me off in some foreign land a little longer I'll gladly take your indecisiveness.

Sure, I'm happy you finished re-reading the entire series. Now that it's over, it probably would make for a good story, give people loads of ideas and all. But that doesn't exactly mean I want to relive it just so you can play me somewhere. I already went through everything once; I'm not exactly keen on doing it all again. You understand, don't you?

Of course not. Once again, you're off hunting for icons, finding layouts, and ignoring absolutely everything I have to say. Fine. Go on, then. Continue shrieking about your feelings and ignoring my opinion on the matter.

Dear Mundane,

I wish to inform you that I dislike being compared to a certain red-nosed reindeer. Please no one ask me to dress up for Christmas, and don't joke about giving me antlers to wear.

Also, I'd be most grateful if you stop playing the Chipmunk song.

your friend, Dale.

P.S. My stocking is just the right size for a chocolate bar. Just thought you should know.

sakugarne

... Honestly, what you think of as funny? Isn't that funny at all, mun.

That and I really don't need to know about that kind of stuff! Nor I do I need to "experience" [finger quotes, woo] it myself.

touchedbyanoutsider

[ . . . ]

You have yet to finish the source material. Do not bother me when there is work to be done.

valois

Yes, I see de little reservation slot, Mundane. I see, I see. Goodness, your cheeks are so rosy dat I might wonder if your innocent and honest plans, as you say, are truly so. But, you do face cold weather outside your warm home, so perhaps you are truly being honest with me, and my doubt is just a nervous habit dat I must break.

I look forward to de start, and eventual completion of dis application, Mundane.

stephen_bloom

Mun, mun, what are you so worried about? You act like you don't want me around. Don't worry about playing me anywhere--I hardly need you to write my stories. I've been doing that, since I was a kid. Trust me. This is going to be fun.

here_comes_justice

Hey, I know you're having a rough weekend, mun. (I've been there, done that. Don't you remember?)

Come on, just don't go making my mistake, okay? In the grand scheme of things 2 months is far too long to wallow in self-pity, fury and disappointment.

Hey, don't you start crying again!

I might not be much for "Christmas Spirit", given the number of years I never got my Christmas wishes, but come on, we're almost done, mun!

I know you can do it, stop doubting yourself and just jump in... That's what these sample things are supposed to be for, isn't it? 100 and 250 words should be NOTHING compared to NaNo, right?

beendreaming

Oh mundane, it is good to see you again! It's been ever so long since we last talked, hasn't it? Why, I think it was back on that other... Thing! The... Live place!

But, oh, it will be lovely to get to stretch my legs once again!

hereinstyle

You're telling me that after months- scratch that, years- of waiting, your perfect little idea is to take me mid-mirror from Alice and into some...fairy tale? Do I look like a fairy tale character to you? And before you go going all smart about it, the answer is no. I don't.

Yes, yes I have the hat. I still don't understand why that makes me "fit" so well. Lots of blokes wear hats, you know. Possibly not ones quite as stylish as this one, but hats nevertheless.

So, do me a favour. Take a seat in a nice, comfortable chair and let your mind do some serious reflecting. It took a lot of courage to step through into the oyster world, you know. I'd really rather not have to try and find some more. The tea shop was all out of that particular emotion.

timekeepsonslipping

Yo Boss-Lady!

I'm probably the last person to complain about time, but don't you think you should go about and finishing up on reviewing my story modes?

Also, could you consider finding me a place to crash - this place's kind of crowded y'know.

-Axl

letsgofishing

Do you need a band-aid for your heart, mun?

noisetosignal

Oh, this again? Thought you'd put this to rest.

thatbastard

I suppose you'd like me to thank you for such an insightful fucking username. Or for not making me share a face with bleedin' 007. It's him you wouldn't be doing a favor, there. I imagine he's got enough problems without being pegged for my numerous good deeds.

Well, piss off. I'm not mad, or grateful, or anything. Not even real, am I? You can't listen to Alan Moore. That man's a nutter.

madmadworld

There's no game? [Well there is a game - just not the sort you're used to, Yuno.] If there's no Deus then... [She holds up her beloved cellphone.] I can't keep Yuki safe.

[That won't do.]

I have to keep him safe. [She is practically getting those shackles ready. Be afraid, Yuki. BE VERY AFRAID.] He needs me. Yuki needs me.

[This manic smile is not feigned, Dear Mun.]

notmydiagnosis

I trust this is because of the Bane and Talia reserves, mun?

[ Smirk. ]

It's probably a good thing--after all, the Bat-Man is aboard, still. I don't appreciate you canon updating me, however. I wasn't nearly as composed as you like to play me by the end of the third film.

soloed

Trust me, I didn't want to keep you up last night. In fact, I would've happily gone wherever you'd want me to go. Looking at this headspace and the literal things you got rolling around here, you wouldn't even have to ask!

But unfortunately for me, you like me and it's not like I have anywhere else to go. So, if we're gonna be stuck with each other - you mind dedicating a little more time to some world-building or whatever it is you call it in the near future? Good feelings are great and brainstorms, but I need a little more than that.

overdosing

It is so hard to believe that Hanukkah is already upon us once again, and that Smissmas will follow in a few weeks. How time flies! It feels like only yesterday that I was picking glass shards out of my neck from that ornament that awful little BLU Scout lobbed at me. I know you have your thoughts on what the newest update will bring for me, what kind of wonderful new spielsachen I will be gifted this year, but bitte, try to contain yourself. We can both agree that I have been somewhat naughty this year, so I might not receive anything at all. I know, it breaks your heart. You must prepare for the inevitable crushing disappointment regardless.

[he claps his hands together with a big smile.]

But enough of that! Let's talk about my favorite holiday instead. We have seven days left, and considering you already gave me the gift of mediocrity by forgetting that the festivities started last night, now is the perfect time to redeem yourself. Luckily for you, only seven of my teammates remain. What I am suggesting is that you -

...Well, I'm sure you can figure it out yourself. If gathering them up proves to be too difficult for you, we can always settle on...alternatives. For example, what would you do with a second kidney? Absolutely nothing.

denounces

So, this is the song and dance you wish to play. And should I ask, will there be any divergence from coining the term 'mundane' in your habits, if not your title, when seeking to govern me? I thought not.

We will discuss placement later.

snakings

I'd advise you against being too fond of me, as my loyalties lie in Wiseman alone. Perhaps you should look elsewhere for your entertainment.

idkworldruler

Well, what did I tell you? I would get in. No, no, you don't have to say it, I can already tell in your eyes that you see the error of your ways, and just how much of a Debbie Downer you are.

fallingcomet

It's kinda nice to have control of my body again. I mean, Cas was alright and all, but he's been a bit of a dick lately. And it doesn't help that he kept getting my body harmed.

Feels like something's missing though. Care to explain that, Mun?

[ ... ]

No? Alright fine.

It'd be nice to know what you're going to do with me though.

bibo_ergo_sum

One the one hand, there's no way you'll convince me that is legitimately a good idea... but on the other hand, this is going to be fun! It's really been way too long since a decently good family reunion, and even better considering which family members those are. And you know me. I like meeting new people ~~and getting them drunk~~. One learns such interesting things that way.

In other news, I'm flattered to itty bitty bits about the events of this past week, but I hope we've all learned our lessons, yes? With the infamous battle cry "Challenge accepted!" you've done me proud, mun. Let's keep it rolling with a glass in our hands, shall we? Good good.

Pace yourself. The need for moderation is nearly over.

~Διόνυσος

frilliance

The last time I checked, the applications open in January. You have plenty of time to find my voice until then.

In the meantime, aren't there a few other things you are supposed to be worrying about? They are called 'assignments' and 'music practice'. I'm guessing that you've heard of them?

pocketings

Sounds pleasant.

[ And there he goes—thinking of better things. The singing kettle, a comfort yet tickle to his ears. The prickly warmth of a comfortable fire, of course purposely set before his most comfortable chair. His hobbit-hole. A blanketing memory very thin against his now exhausted limbs, eyes weary and causing quite a fuss in that stomach of his.

Not like you're relaxing in the middle of something, Mun. Leave the poor hobbit to become acquaintances with the woods. Spiders and webs and rock throwing, no, one does not simply pause. Thankfully, he is long past that point. Just nearing their last effort to simply survive.

√ Leave the Shire.
√ Trolls, just trolls.
√ Goblins and other things who possibly want to craft up a feast.
√ Riddles.
√ Spiders and practicing aim.
√ Heights...

( Ah, well, as you know, etc. )

□ Don't die, Thorin afterwards.

We're making some progress here, why not continue? ]

bone_daddy

I'm glad I have a place to talk to you now, Miss Mundane. I know you don't have a whole lot of time, what with Christmas coming up, and everything, so it's very nice of you to make some for me. It's always exciting, what with all the decorations and presents and Christmas carols and all.

...Oh, no, no need to worry! I've learned my lesson about messing with other people's holidays. But Christmas is still fascinating! I can see why you all enjoy it so much, even if it is alot of work.

And I know it might be a bit much to ask right now, but do you think you could get started on my application to this Ink_City place this week sometime? I may not run Christmas, but it would be nice to have somewhere to celebrate it. That, and I've heard that there are some wonderfully terrifying folks there that I may be able to use as inspiration for next Halloween! Well? How about it?

Current Mood: excited

myownhand

Yes it's all well and good that y'found a few games t'look at.

But we aren't talking about that pocky game.

tokarooni

Muns, I'ms happy that you likes the new Dethalbums and I'ms very happy that you likes me! No one ever likes Toki. Maybes you shoulds listens to my solos insteads of listening to Skyhunter or Andromeda? I'll gives you pizza--

What? No, my solos ams brutal! ...Even though I hads a panics attack... But, I can be just as good and brutals as Skiwsgaar! I can be the leads guitarists too! All I needs to do is practice more on the pianos!

[Toki, you mean the guitar.]

Whatevers.

cursebroken

You have got to be kidding me.

So your sister- who apparently has Snow trapped in her headspace- somehow convinced you to make a journal for me, that much I get.

But I can tell just by the way you're writing me that you have no idea what you're doing. If you're planning on sending me anywhere, you're going to have to try a lot harder at getting my voice right before you do anything else.

Speaking of games- searching for one is going to be a total crapshoot. You should know by now I'm sick of being sent to other worlds besides the one I'm supposed to be in.

sheps

Listen, I'm not going to chide you. We're both adults, we're going to act like it. So, let's talk.

You and I both know that we have priorities. Important ones. Your decision to send me to an uncharted world with no way out is not going to help either of us, no matter how you look at it. I've been there before, and I'm not going to be very happy having to go through it again.

I've got far more better things to do than to look after someone who should know better. Think about it.

dealswithidiots

Better catch up. [He throws a manga at his mun.] I'm not accepting a half-assed effort.

[Amusement clouds the single blue orb, as a whiff of smoke lifts from the cigarette.]

Find an interesting community while you're at it.

count_to_peace

I'm flattered, although I would like to request a thoughtful solution to this...emotion. Placing me just anywhere wouldn't be beneficial to either of us.

teddyprodigy

Forget it, mun! Both of us know how much of a genius I am, so you know I'm not stupid. You're just going to drop the ball with me like you've done every other time. You know, I'm a college student. I sort of have other, better things to do right now!

But if you find a place with Darling, I might go along with you. Don't think that's an excuse for you to try pushing your luck, though. I'll know if you try to pull a fast one on me!

And would a canon review kill you? If you're going to have me out there, you better not mess me up. Got it?

silverspeed

Oh, I am worthy of being your puppet again and I'm supposed to clap and cheer in excitement? Is that it? You can keep on waiting then.

I suppose I am not entirely opposed to spending time outside this place- if those other men and women you give voice to weren't so unbelievably boring staying in this place wouldn't have become so tedious. Nonetheless, and I realize you'll pat yourself on the back at having me saying something like this... you do not have the time.

So cease before you overwork yourself, it would be extremely embarrassing to see you flake while you're giving voice to me. And I am a busy man.

strategic_guile

Yeah, I know you're having fun and you miss the people from your other game, but there are better ways to use your time, you know. I'm all for impulsive, feel good behavior but there are things to do.

Not that you ever listen.

Don't whine to me about your inbox later, just sayin'. I'm pretty popular.

Current Mood: indifferent

bringsthefrost

Yeaaaaaah I really don't like the look you get on your face when you use the word 'bicycle' in conjunction with my name.

And hey, don't look at me like that. You're the one who made yourself upset over that thread with Tooth. It's not my fault. At least not directly.

Whoa wait why are you reading it again?

[Sighs at his mun.]

I'll go get the Kleenex.

airtempered

Well! It's certainly nice to see you taking this application so seriously this time around. I do humbly request you refrain from skimming your canon review as you have been, however. I'm far more complex than you might realize, and a thorough understanding of my nuances is essential.

fastandsteady

We're gonna do this? Alright! I'm ready for this, mun! This will be great. I know it's been a while since I've been in a game, but I have a good feeling about this. I mean, there are so many colorful characters there! I know my canon isn't as well known as it once was, but I'm colorful enough to fit in, right? Of course I'm right!

It sounds so awesome! And plus, I won't be in stone during the day! How cool is that?! I mean... I'll be able to see and... and feel the sun for the first time.

[Brooklyn takes in a deep breath, trying to calm down, but just grins widely, tail wagging.]

It's all so exciting, mun! I really can't wait.

fearme

Oh, I was under the impression you'd had quite enough of nightmares for one month. I see I'm not the only one who can't resist a little fun when it comes strolling by.

So let's have a little fun.

P

agravaine

To my fairest mundane,

As much as I do not wish to interfere with your course of actions, I fear I must point out the obvious things you appear to be missing. It is with the greatest respect that I tell you this will not work in the long run. I am saddened to have to tell you this regarding your prospects, but that is the truth.

Now if you will excuse me, I have work to do. My days as advisor are never quiet.

highfunctioning_sociopath

So. You think because you enjoy torturing me with those various memes that it might be a good idea to send me into a game that forces me into that predicament on a permanent basis?

You're an idiot.

I like who I am, just fine, thanks and I have no desire to be someone else, even if I'm not really someone else, except that I am.

There isn't even anyone there that I know! How can I be expected to remember who I am without others there to remind me? - You actually hate me, don't you? You're doing this on purpose to see how strong I am.

The only thing about that place that's even remotely positive is the mystery of it all! How is it possible for us to be who we are - and yet not? And how do so many people end up there to begin with?

I just hope it's nothing like the way the last game ended - that was dull.
-SH

usedconfusion

...you got me a fire-breathing squirrel that turns into a six-foot long ferret? See, I'm torn here On one hand, that's actually kinda badical. On the other, what're they feedin' these things?

timeforgotten

Well, that's hardly my fault. If you wanted to see more people I'd know or people that you'd know, you should have looked into places where you would find them. It's not as though they'll turn up out of nowhere. [ Man. People who think they know everything. It's ridiculous. ]

Honestly, there isn't anything for you to complain about on the Charon at all. All you have to do is watch and arrange things while I live through them. I ought to stop having anything to do with you.

[ Muns are nothing but an embarrassment. He might have known sooner. ]

notmeantforthis

Look, I know you've put a lot of effort into this and everything, and I really do appreciate it - I mean this looks a lot more like me for one, not to mention you've actually got some icons where I smile now, Heavens forbid, not to mention I've actually got my gun back--

Wait, that's not the point! I don't want to go anywhere, least of all to this 'Throne of Shadows'. This whole deal with a prince? Not my style at all. I'd rather just stay here and keep working cases, if it doesn't trouble you too much.

...Put that application away!

heedthecall

I'm not doubting you ma'am. It's just you don't have the best record for these sorts of things. The last time you managed to keep someone around was, well, never. I don't see why I'd be any different.

Just don't blame me when you get that silly song in your head every time you log in.

king_of_spades

My dearest mun,... what in the world were you thinking getting me engaged?!

Is it the lack of sleep? Are those love-depraved idiots in your medical school giving you bad ideas? Are you finally on drugs?

Sure a King needs a suitable Queen. But why now? Why all of a sudden. I'm very sorry mun, I'm not ready!

I'd like to think that I am very capable of ruling my kingdom on my own. What if he doesn't like my rule? What if the new Queen doesn't like my kingdom?

..I'm not even sure if he'd like me...

suckmyunit

Bit behind the times don'tcha think? Am I right or am I right? Already made all the lemonade we gonna make today, you get what I'm sayin'?

...

What was that? Why you still in character?

[His face falls to a flat stare.]

You really gonna make me get into all that again? Already went over this with full retard Jackie over there, ain't goin' over it again.

I done did all the shit I can take fer the day. All that shit. Yeah. Uhhuh.

protagonizing

Hey mun?

I think we need to work on your definition of the word "game". Seriously, what's the point? If you want me to go there and just... live, then why can't I just stay in Hopetown?

Totally bogus.

-Radd

virginprice

You are very kind to think of me, truly, but I would rather stay where you found me.

It is impossible to avoid your knowledge of my ultimate fate, and I would rather spend my last months with Anafiel than be torn off to some strange world where I know nothing and no one. I know that your kind has the reputation of cruelty, but I beg of you. Do not do this thing. I would rather die with him than live without him.

linguist

Wow, it's been a wh--you and I haven't spoken in such a long time! What's the matter? We're not going anywhere, are we? I-I'll have to actually, er, remember to pack things this time, and judging from your taste in games, I'll probably need a lot of first aid equipment and maybe a w--

...

W-wait, hold on a second!

You're using me to put off studying for your final exams?!

goodnightscales

[ not much for words, this one. but she'll speak up for a moment. ]

I don't have time for this. You keep showing me all of these places but none of them look like he'll be there.

[ and she falls silent again. until— ]

I'm losing faith. Please. Help me.

afterimage

Mun,

You're busy right now. It's okay if you don't worry about games. I've waited this long, I can wait longer.

I'm not as demanding as your other muses, so I'm glad you're thinking about me. I miss being out and meeting new people. But don't be disappointed.

Really, please get everything settled before you app anywhere. I wouldn't want you to just drop me after a few weeks anyway, like you did with the other three.

I think we have issues.
