Dec. 11th, 2012

Alright, lady, listen up.

I have had it up to here with your ridiculous fear of commitment. You have been waffling for NINE USER MONTHS NOW. Do you have any idea how long that is in Program Time? Seriously, I'm beginning to think ALL Users are like this. You don't want to contribute to the typecasting of your entire species as flaky asshats, do you? Because that'd just be sad.

Blah blah blah excuses, excuses. Let's cut the junk data, alright: you know goddamn well you're perfectly capable of keeping up with a moderately fast-paced game. And don't give me that BS about how you're an old dog who doesn't take easily to new tricks. You know the ropes now. Time to--hold on, hold on, let me consult my Useful Notes on User-speak file here--"man up", "put on your big girl panties", and get with the program. By which, of course, I mean me.

There is a city of darkness out there, lost in a mire of power shortages and srs bzns. They NEED me, User. Will you continue to deny them my skills?

(Also seriously, yo, the Great Recycle Bin in the Sky sucks. Get me out of here. ~~I promise I won't switch places with you.~~ ~~Why are you looking at me like that?~~)

allihave

[Pepper looks emotionally exhausted. She's clearly been fighting this verbal battle for several days now.]

You couldn't take me from a point in time when I was wearing more clothing; or at least shoes?

[She's starting to look like she's been dealing with terrorist negotiations for the past six hours.]

So you're sending me to a word that's set on top of a living turtle in one of Tony's old shirts and a pair of shorts? Thank you for at least adding the shorts. I'd rather not have someone fishing me out of the water in what I normally wear to bed when I'm staying over. I know why you're doing this you know. It's all because you keep watching that stupid movie over and over again. It's worse then when you're watching that animated TV show. You know the one I'm talking about. With Patricia Potts. I do not act like that. Or talk that much. I don't ramble.

[Yes Pepper, yes you do.]

And I don't fawn all over Tony. It's embarrassing to watch.

[There's a long pause because really, she's proved her own point about rambling wrong.]

Just, give me some cloths. Please.

flared

Hey, kid. Long time no talk.

Here, lend me an ear for a bit, would you? You know what I think would be pretty interesting?

Seeing the rest of the Organization.

Haven't seen too many of them around lately... well, you know, at least in all the places you've stuck me in. What, you think they're hiding or something? That'd be a darn shame. Sometimes things just aren't as fun without 'em.

strawberryspleens

Mun? Were is Uncle Edward? I want to see Edward, mun! I want to cut out his eyes and make him eat them! Hehe! I want him to beg for death, mun!

Lets hop, skip und jump to Edward, ja? I want to taste his spleen und if you don't let me have it, I'll make you suffer.

I'm not kawaii.

I'm manly as hell.

Come on, Pitch can't even hold a candle to Ansem.

"I'm not afraid of the darkness", remember? "I'm what nightmares fear"?

wheredidthatbombgo

Hey, hey mun - nice username ya picked! ...though, that's a pretty good question, come to think of it. Where did that bomb go?

[There's a pause, then Ziggs shrugs.]

Well, it'll make itself known sooner or later!

barrelrider

Anxious to go on some sort of Adventure, are you? Well! I suppose such things as excessive amounts of Adventure and/or the probability of certain discomfort (and missed tea) aren't going to stop you, are they?

[On second thought, though, waiting for hours in one spot seems preferable to following a herd of dwarves and their impressive beards across the countryside. Between the thirteen beards and bushy pairs of eyebrows waggling at him over campfires, Bilbo is a bit out of his depth. Privately he thinks the mun has it easy.]

dataflames

1 d0 n0t w1$h t0 g0. 1 h4v3 th1ng$ t0 d0.

[and that is that, as far as Azure Kite is concerned, although the AI has a sneaking suspicion that the mun isn't listening. ~~and guess what? he's 100% right.~~]

bemerry

I think it's very kind of you to be using me to get past your own worries and fears about me, while helping other do the same.

And, so perhaps I'm wanting to be seeing my cousin, too. There's no harm in that.

[ He makes as if to light the bowl of his pipe, but thinks better of it. There might be elves, after all, and a Brandybuck shows good manners. ]

I know that armoured guy wants you to be more focused, but if you take care, you can do both, can you not?

Be careful, mun, in any case.

pheromones

All I want for your silly human holiday is more icons. You only made a million! No one's even using them! That's so wasteful. Pretty things should be on display. Come on, how can you say no to this face? [ looks extra cute because she can, little green minx. ]

Okaaay, I lied. I also want you to decide what you're doing with me. [ dramatic pout. ] Pick a career track! Stop thinking about the colors so much, I look good in anything.

Oh, and earrings, too. And what are those? Sparkly vodka cookies? How come I haven't had any yet? You're so selfish. [ can't keep up the accusation since nope, she wouldn't share them either. in fact she'd share them less. ]

wantforahorse

[ Claude nickers and smoothes back his front leg's hoof in the dirt. Emilie leans against Claude's warm, black body and makes a very much put out expression on her face. She's holding an apple in one hand, which Claude has definitely noticed.

Emilie speaks: ]

You are being very lazy. [ Ah, she's talking to the Mundane. ] Why can we not visit the horses? You have the permission, and you have the time. It will not hurt your busy schedule to make a small visit. I would like to see the horses, Mundane, if that is possible.

[ Claude swishes his tail and snorts. ]

Claude agrees with me.

warriorscribe

No. You will remain silent for the next...'ATP' as you always have. Do you know what the viewfinders on the fifth level must do to an angel?

*Of course she does, that's why she wants it to happen!*

No one will be willing to play someone feeling that God and Heaven are...are...

*A long blink and a small shake of his head, refocus.*

...I won't wish that on my friends. Stay silent, Mundane. I will continue to brave Animus without them.

fatedtosee

You, my writer, are extremely peculiar. I have to admit, though, some of your ideas are hilarious.

You wanted me to meed that Octavian kid to... "show him his place" or something like that? I'm more than happy with doing that, just find him for me and we'll start on this whole "Oracle showdown" thing you've got in mind.

I'm sure Apollo wouldn't mind. Actually, I'm sure he's around here somewhere. Let's ask him... he'll probably even sit front row at it with a big foam hand and noisemakers to cheer me on. Yeah, have fun with that mental image.

sturmbahnfuhrer

Feeling a bit nostalgic are we, my friend? Feeling perhaps a bit inspired?

Come! Come now! You must have known we've been together for far too long, know each other too well to ever truly be parted! Oh, don't look so down. We both know you hardly feel anything close to disappointment at this point. I would think you believe it a relief that I have returned!

Now. Let us talk of more important things. It seems we have yet another battlefield to move on, doesn't it. And much like the last one, it seems to be one built with the specific purpose of tearing me down should I go there. But that simply adds to the fun, doesn't it? It's in their greatest times of need, of terror and anger and pain, that a person shows what they really are.

I know what I am, as I always have, but I'd quite like to see how others might deal with it. I would like to see just how many there might have the propensity to endure. To prove themselves worthy of being human. For, what could you call the place but a tower of monsters, and run by such?

In the end, after all. Only a man can conquer, can kill, a monster.

onebadapple

Soon it will be Christmas! We both have to get our gifts ready, Miss Scribe!

And my goodness! My 75th birthday is in ten days! Has it really been so long? It feels like the movie was just out in theaters!

Current Mood: optimistic

luckyscarf

So, it probably won't be a gold palace.

Okay. Definitely won't be a gold palace... At least I'll be around people, right? I do miss the crowds of the bazaars and mingling with the courtesans.

Now if only you would bring Farah with me so I could have my cake and eat it more of it too. [ ~~Silly prince. You'll never get your donkey back at this rate.~~ ]

Where were you taking me? Not that I really care about a destination. As long as it's not a desert... Again.

...I've got bad luck with deserts.

vaquero

... Now what?

jokul_frosti

See?

I told you.

Now stop worrying about Christmas. I got it covered.

within_the_dreaming

You just can't stop, can you? Once you get started, you go on and on and on~_✧☆_*^✧^{^☆}*✧^{^☆}^*

You have switches! It's not really a bad thing, not always, anyway, and finding me a place to explore might be nice for both of us. Someplace with enough room to fly, without limitations, and that isn't too cage-like. I've had more than my share of those, thank you! And you're getting nervous with that whole setup, too. Don't worry so much about that, you've done fine so far.

But! No getting gloomy over that for now. Let's do something fun. And weren't you talking about getting all As? So let's go! I think the link missions would be a good place to start.

genie_lady

Dear mun,

Such a wonderful place you have brought us to. So many new and old faces. I especially like those from that ring movie, you know the one with the elves and the adorable short people. I always love saying hello to them, they seem like my kind of folk. I am determined to meet them all so you had better get to tagging.

A LOTR verse? Oh that would be lovely, we should make it so! Do you think they would mind? Of course not, I am fantastic, they would love to be around me. It would give me a chance to cook again and you know how I love to do that.

Do not delay, mun. Hop to it!

~Jeannie

trucking

I'm not saying you don't know what you're doing, but...

I really think you should reconsider this thing between Sentinel and I.

It's only going to lead to trouble.

I don't want to ~~hurt hi~~ make things even more awkward.

[an expectant pause. He's definitely going to be obeyed rn, right?]

And on a completely different note, can I ask why there are 10 Decepticons to every 1 Autobot in your headspace? This seems a little ...dangerous.

bring_the_beatdown

Lady, I cannot believe you paid that friggen much for some lame statue of Sniper. Sniper! I mean, come on, who wants that piss-soaked lame-o on their shelves anyway.

So here's the new plan. You cancel this order, and save your money for when they make a statue of yours truly. I'm sure they're just saving the best for last, gotta get my handsome good looks perfect. Or maybe all the ladies painting them got so enamored they took alla the little me's home.

And then I can sit on your desk next to that wannabe Batman and the creepy Nazi zombie guy. Except I'll be a million times cooler, and awesomer and way more sexy.

This is the best plan. Didja write it down so you don't forget? Because I can say it again if you missed anything.

icepicked

Don't let it bother you. Not the first time I've been overlooked. Just because you think it's pack now and not all the kids doesn't change much. Don't sweat it. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

mistressofblood

Dear Mun,

Are you sure this city is ready for the Mistress of Blood? It seems rather unkind to do to them. Of course, it is your own foolishness to believe this city will be anything but a pawn in my hand soon. It will be my fountain of blood and its people, my toys. I look forward to all the different tastes I will get to try here. A pity if I end up killing someone you are fond of as things like that happen. Although I will try not to, it is hard to be God's temptress if the soul is already at the kingdom's gate.

Sincerely,
Vivienne Lévesque, the Mistress of Blood

I am leaving.

Give me my sword. I am not afraid to fight you.

birth_of_fire

I haven't even landed yet and already you torment me? I'm soaring past Bete Noir, not even sure if I'll land there or not, and I can already feel the pain of impact.

You have created me to fuel the fires, and you don't know if I'll make or miss my mark. Are you scared yet?

OoooOoooOOo

What is this place munnie mun? It's way bigger than that place I was before! What was it called again? Pompyville? Poggyville? Puggleville? Oh it doesn't matter!

I'm sure there's tons of places to have fun! And you said there's games. I LOVE games, especially when they're fun!

[Canon is just before the end of "Too Many Pinkie Pies"]

stillanaddict

Mun, this is really starting to get annoying. If I wanted a vapid weepy civilian, I would've put a call out for one. I want my army doctor. I want my army doctor who knows what PTSD is and how it's actually treated. I want my army doctor who's first response is not to coddle me. I want my army doctor who giggles at crime scenes and doesn't clutch his proverbial pearls at the thought that I have a good working relationship with people on the far side of the law.

Either you fix this problem or I will. And believe me when I tell you that you and your overly compassionate heart will not like the way I fix it.

shine_like_a_legend

You say you have my best interests in mind; but why should I expect you to be any different then any other adult I've ever known? Your just going to force me to go to a place I don't want to go and do a bunch of things I don't want to do.

And, did you even think for a second about what I want? Of course you didn't, your just like my mom and everyone else who works for NERV. You only pay attention to me when you need something.

But, you know what? I'm not going to run away, not this time. So do your worst, I can take it.

troping

...I don't think you really know what you're committing to. Last Christmas was great and all, but if there are real characters from Glee here, will they be bursting into song?

[Spinning cameras. Lilting melodies. Hip-hop remixes. Perish the thought.]

It seems pretty dark, even with the promise of alter-egos.

maybe_a_count

Well, my my my Mundane, I see you do care about me after all.

This place, it excites me. Dare I say, it makes my blood boil.

[He starts laughing manically.]

dontwannabeastatue

So are you doing this or what? Hey, I don't mind if you just let me be. Nice to have some quiet, with all of history apparently waiting for me.

You don't need to worry about getting me perfect. I'm not perfect, don't know why everyone thinks so. Just do your best, and- promise me one thing. There'll be less of that- hero worship at that Nautilus place, right? Nobody lining up to shake my hand and talk about that damned statue or their school with my name on it.

theother_reindeer

Oh mun, I know you feel guilty about what you haven't done this year and for the season. But you have to remember, everyday is a new day!

Maybe even tomorrow you can do something special for your family or something? Moping about isn't going to help anyone.

dublinbrogue

You realize I don't approve of this in the slightest right? You wanna play villains again go back to Loki. Don't make a 'Soulless-Verse' out of me. I died a hero, I cleaned the slate and you're gonna have Wolfram and Hart pull me back to 'use as leverage to stop Angel' Sorry Princess but that is just stupid. You know as well as me that our boy wouldn't stand for it.

And teaming me up with the guy that steals my identity so HE can go get Angel or Cordy to 'fix me' Come on think this through. This is the dumbest thing you've pulled yet. And I have SEEN you do some dumb stuff love.

Whatever you wont listen to me anyway.

kingofnightmares

You don't feel as confident as you did before, do you now? I'm not the one who is frightened here, you are, mun. Even if you do decide to app me in, they will be in the same boat as me, being... 'mortal', even if it's temporary.

Yes, there are some perks to going to a game, but as stated above... there are quite a lot of Guardians reserved. I know I can handle it. But can you?

[waves his hand with a small sigh]

Perhaps you should stick with just that red creature, and leave me out of the apping process, hm? Maybe that will be easier for you.

sleepygunsman

...............I....don't feel like it.....

I'm fine if I don't see Big Sister or Robin....The old man will take care of them.... [ though he is still pretty lonely with out them ]

superpup

[ You cannot voice test what cannot speak, mundane. This is a dog. He can fly, and fight, and play fetch in outer space but he cannot talk. There is no voice, and the only thing a dog thinks about is what it will do soon.

The only thing a dog knows, silly mundane, is what it is told and what it can smell. Maybe it also knows what it would rather eat, and who to like.

A superdog remembers things normal dogs do not. It still cannot talk. But it does know how to understand. And right now it understands and remembers from years ago what Procrastination looks like, though it does not know the word itself.

He has seen it before. Many, many times, with the boys he has worked with. And Krypto knows how to understand funny words like "study" and "I'm done" and "oh my god I give up".

He'd lick a mundane's face if he could. For the while, though, he's got a slow wag of his tail that's supposed to be encouragement. ] Rrrf.

[ You just keep on truckin'. ]

hotguy

Not feeling the insult in being called a strong independent woman. Some of my best friends are strong, independent women. [ your only best friend is a strong, independent woman. ] Don't -- bracket me, I can read that.

[ sorry, ma'am. ]

Still fine with it.

tadah

You're gonna send me somewhere out of hope that you're gonna embarrass me? That's rich. I can't wait to see this blow up in your face-

[whispers] Maybe you don't wanna do this. I mean, you've got a lot on your plate right now. And I'm still trying to get back into the Alliance. Plus, I need to return my beekeeping stuff, so I'm fully booked.

[back to normal voice] Haha.

[whispers] Seriously? You're gonna do this to the guy with the 150 dollar beekeeper suit? COME ON.

megidoladyne

Oh, you plan on sending me there? It doesn't seem like much of a stretch from my own world but I can't say I'm fond of the idea of losing my abilities. However it does seem like there are a few of which I've observed there so perhaps any entertainment from them may make up for it.

If you're going to do it then by all means I encourage it, so get to it.

devils_shoestring

Here again, love? I'm not surprised. I left a lot behind when you decided to send me along my way. But I wouldn't mind it if you put a little more thought into it this time.

Preferably thought in my favor if you do decide to go forward with this. I understand it's somewhat in your nature to make life hell for all of us in your headspace, but a little mercy every now and again wouldn't hurt.

alexisluthor

Mun, I want an employer. Not a game. An employer.

Once employed, I can start rebuilding my fortune from the ground up.

And, y'know, that'll totally make up for the shaft I was given in canon, am I right?

studyharder

Mundane! Just what do you think you're doing? Your final is tomorrow and you haven't even opened your book! This is unacceptable! Completely unacceptable!

stolethesun

[Well, hello there, creepy singing to flowers to stay young lady, why are you coming out of my head?]

Oh, no, no, no, dear. I can't be here. I have a daughter that I need to get home. She's too naive to be out there on her own, especially with that, [there's a scoff] Ryder.

You will let me go back, none of this game nonsense.

angroy

You're kidding, right?

[Maybe a teeny, tiny part of him is glad they remembered he ~~and his template~~ exists, but the whole love-interest-of-the-girl-who's-running-around-with-his-old-alias thing is kind of weird. And maybe the sidekick bit might have miffed him a little, too.]

eleveneleven

What are you doing?

You don't know? Well, great. Sure, that's fine, go ahead and have fun, because now you're just playing with me like they have. And with the shit that's happened to me, I really shouldn't be surprised anymore. At least-

at least you're not tormenting me as bad as the Collective. But you shouldn't have picked me up because eventually they'll come for you and I'll be left alone once again, or worse, since I can't really speak here without someone.I really don't know what'll happen to me when you're gone.

But maybe everything will be okay. Maybe. We're both unsure about Firebrand being able to help me, if that's really what he promises. Like with your deciding on wether or not I'm actually going somewhere, we'll just have to wait. And they really like making me wait.

sixfaced

Shouldn't you be asleep, rather than trying to label me like some background character?

I'm offended.

down_a_nipple

Work out what the fuck you're doin' with my accent before I decide t' tan you and hang you on the mantle.

You did just fine with that Lightman bastard and his Cockney, and don't feed me shite about how my life was a lot more complicated than his. There's no fuckin' traces of Farsi in the way I talk, and none of that Oxford rot either. Not hard, really.

bycupid

As interesting as what you've provided is, I am quite positive that those of Middle Earth would be the first to recognize their own songs.

A tale of lost gold may be appealing to a mermaid, but certainly not to any man.

If you cannot find something suitable, then I will sing what I've always had to sing.

bonni

So are you actually going to do something with me besides throwing me in those ridiculous "meme" things?

It'll be nice to have a real home. So what are my choices?

...Huh. A magic castle sounds pretty, well, normal. A spaceship could be fun, though.

I just hope my Kingdom doesn't collapse while I'm gone. I know time's supposed to stop for me while I'm in one of these places, but... after that incident leaving Jake in charge, that's still not enough reassurance.

doubleroseknight

And t'think, there was once a time when I, too, was considered a 'bogeyman' of sorts. Ah, memories.

Still, awakened though I am, ye still have no plans for me. Perhaps ye might consider changin' that? Just a thought.

shotapire

Listen carefully to me, girl. From this day forth, you shall be my underling; you will belong to me until I grow tired of you.

Eh?! A-a fondness?! I hold no fondness for you, you wretched girl! Such foolishness! B-begone, already!

devil_within

...Yes, I'm still here. You have no intention of letting me go, do you? [Hmph.] Typical. At least find me a decent opponent.

I think we have issues.
