Dec. 17th, 2012

I don't need anyone to save me. It doesn't matter what you throw at me; I can handle it. I've handled everything so far, right? I can heal my own injuries, and--

[He can't help it. Hope stomps his foot once, hands balled tightly into fists thanks to the recent events.]

--I wouldn't need anyone to help me if you would just stop writing those horrible things! If anything, you're the one I need to be saved from instead of the collapsed building and hallucinations! I could have just stayed with Vanille, or Light, or just-- three days. You put me in there for three days and then had it collapse above my head.

You're not allowed to say we need heroes in this place. I can take care of myself just fine as long as you stop messing with my life.

afieldsmedal

So let me get this straight. In one of these...game things you want me to go to, I'd be a fictional character, and in the other one I'd be playing a fictional character...

[ Yes, Lydia, isn't it lovely? ...Wait, no? ]

Okay, whatever - but two things.

One, I think you're spending way too much time analyzing this folklore and not even getting anywhere. I seriously doubt Joseph Jacobs ever meant for anyone to translate his story and apply it to - you know - normal people who don't live in the Pride And Prejudice era. And I don't get the parallels you're trying to draw here: I don't have more lovers than I can count, I don't have any brothers, I don't speak in riddles, I'm not getting married, and I certainly don't take walks in the woods to strange men's houses anymore. So stop comparing this whole castle-adventuring, body-finding thing to my Hale-induced mental breakdown, and stop calling it a character arc.

...But I suppose I prefer this one to any about slaying snakes or one of the many versions of Little Red Riding Hood.

And two - I am not touching any dead things. None. No severed hands, and no zombies.

lookharder

So... You still mad about me sinking that ship? Come on, it's not that bad. You can still get your mad thigh sweats elsewhere, can't you?

windofmadness

( spoilers blah blah blah god he loves to hear himself talk )

valoris

You seek to control me like a puppet. To allow my fate to be determined simply by your whims.

I will not be bound by this cage. Nor any other.

hidesunderbeds

Is it not enough for you that I already failed? No, you have to bring me here and torment me further. Well, I suppose as long as you don't force me into speaking with the Guardians again I can endure this.

valefore

Oh hello again. You've aged a little bit haven't you? If find the concept interesting to watch sometimes. I see you've been poking around in my dearest most ancient memories. Which I don't appreciate. Dragging up all those feelings that I've worked very hard to bury. There is an entire timeline and several happy marriages between me and that time and I would like to keep it that way.

Wait...games? What kind of games? Are they dice games? Or like sports games? Dont' keep me in the dark now dammit!

circulates

Is it really necessary to have seven -- eight -- versions of me running around in your headspace?

I'm flattered you feel so strongly about my character, but isn't this a bit much?

Not to mention, you've been very hyped over the idea of me and Miku together...

[ well i'm sorry that you two make the perfect couple! ]

That's besides the point. I think you're getting a bit crazy here.

Shouldn't you focus on finding a home for me?

fistmele

You're feeling unsure about all of this, I get it. So what makes you think I'd be on-board the 'zombies and existential crisises' train?

Rather not, considering. Leveling out's easier when you're not in the middle of a post apocalyptic hoarde.

getsciencedone

Dear Mundane.

Well now you're just being ridiculous. I'm not sure if you're aware of this but many other people besides Aperture use the word 'portal' to describe things. Just because a 'portal' is apparently what brought those 'monsters' out of the sea, it doesn't mean it's one of ours. Besides, the last time I checked, I ran a science facility, not a bunch of giant suits for humans to walk around in. And knowing humans, probably destroy through their own incompetence.

This has nothing to do with Aperture, myself or that test ruining monster, who no, is not a monster of that sort. Though I'm sure she could destroy as much as they did, if she put her mind to it.

Look, just let me get back to work. We have a very important test starting on the 20th this month, and I'd like to focus on that instead of your insistent pestering about whether or not Aperture can summon giant monsters from other dimensions.

Besides, you know all test information is strictly classified.

-GLaDOS

mygiantbluehead

Why you think there is anything - anything - worth celebrating today is utterly beyond me.

birth_of_fire

My mun finished my application! Now we must wait until the reserves are open and the timing is right. I cannot wait! I want to join the city so badly. I want my story to be told and lived as it is mean to be.

Can anyone help me make sure I remain involved when I do get into the city? I say 'when' because I know my mun wont give up until she finds me a place where I can live my tale. Should my mun just have me in any scene I can manage, or are there other techniques? Any ideas?

Current Mood: happy

companion

Hey you. You spent all mornin' searchin' and then downloadin' and then uploadin' pictures of me. I think we're both pretty starvin' yeah?

Just sayin'... 11:15am is the perfect time for fish and chips.

Current Mood: hungry

tofu_idol

Hey mun, I'm really not sure why you're so keen to make me share this with everyone. I mean, don't get me wrong, it'd be nice to have someone there I know who isn't him but...really? In that place?

I mean okay, I'm not saying I'd mind having Senpai there and he's probably got the kind of attitude where he might do okay there. And okay, yeah, having Yosuke show up would be fun just to see how he reacts to it all. But how can I not think you have other things in mind when it comes to everyone else? I mean yeah, I miss Kanji and Naoto but don't think I don't know where your mind's going with that. Don't think I don't know about that whole "if it's you, it's okay" thing you have with me and Naoto.

Besides...I'm not sure I'm ready for them to see the result of that other decision you made for me. It's like you realised you don't torment me enough on that ship and now you're making up for it in the new place.

Look...I guess I can't really stop you if this is what you want. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

duckboy

So, mun. You're going to try this again.

[As a confident smirk appears over his lips, he folds his hands within his massive sleeves.]

Worry not. I am more than prepared for it this time around.

[Too bad he's talking to the nearest wall.]

toothiana

Oh! This is so nice of you, Mun. I would love to play with you and all the children. Goodness! So many pearly white, clean teeth! But -- uh-oh! A cavity!

We're going to need to work around the clock if we want to preserve these precious memories. Quick! Get some coins and let's get going!

thelastking

Stay your worries, my lady. I'm certain that no one wishes you any ill or nill.

[ A tired sigh. ]

You trouble yourself with such worries, constantly berating your own skills in hopes of seeking perfection. I fear you would sooner drive yourself mad if you continue yourself upon such a path. You can only find what you seek if you look within yourself. None of your answers can be answered here, and this you know.

Thus, I implore you to stop with your fretting and hold your head high.

firms

I'm sorry, what?

You're sending me where? No, I don't think Pierce and Hardman would count that as vacation days and besides, I don't take vacation days.

... Donna's there, too? And Mike?

[ No, do not get her off track. ]

Look, I'm busy and I have better things to do then watch Mike, Harvey and me do things I've already experienced so you can, "get my voice right."

Consider this me closing my office door.

stillpure

I am really really excited about the festival and all, but I'm starting to worry that you don't have me learning enough. I love training with Neji-nii, I do, but I miss Ibiki-sensei and Iruka. Yes, Iruka made for a -really- annoying teammate, but... he was nice, and even if he -was- much older than me, it's not like I can forget about him!

No, no, don't look sad! I know if we get an Iruka or an Ibiki they might not share that history. I promise I understand! But... I still want to see them okay?

They're my team.

And. Um. Seeing Sasuke grown up is great and all, but I really miss him not being so cranky. Can you fix that?

Please?

lanternlooking

I'm really having trouble following the logic on this one. I mean, you usually make some sense.

First of all, the only people from Middle Earth I knew were Faramir, Éomer and Éowyn and they weren't even in the movie you went to see! And second I haven't been in a game, or seen any of them for months now. I really don't think this is the best time to get me out and about again. Of course...you know I love being out. I guess it would be silly to deny that. Staying in your headspace is just a little too much like the tower.

Well, whatever you're planning I hope you've thought it through. You shouldn't go and make promises that you can't keep.

sciencewhizard

Yeah, yeah, mun. I get it - it'd be fun if some more people from back home where there on the island.

[ Pause. ]

Okay, no, that's a terrible idea. Do you really want to put the rest of the team through that? I mean, yeah, you kinda get used to it, but it shouldn't be something people have to get used to.

Besides, isn't there going to be enough angst once you go through with your plans next year? From what I've seen of myself five years from now, he's a real stiff. [ Sigh. ] People are going to miss my charming demeanor, I hope you know.

And by the way, get rid of those dumb ideas about taking me out completely. You know I'm doing you a favor by being here, so just chill out. Relax. Have fun. One of us has to.

howtoliveyourlife

Now, mundane, I realize that you are aware that this roleplay activity of yours is meant to be purely fiction. And there's nothing wrong with pretend every now and again.

However, blurring the line between reality and fiction by having me guiding your thought process in this roleplay business is simply worrisome. Studies have linked extended sessions of pretend roleplay to escapism, loneliness, obesity, stunted social growth and many more effects that will make it difficult for a young person to adjust to society.

So my advice to you? Try stepping away from the computer for a few days. Socialize. Talk to people your own age. While it's not bad to engage in roleplay every once in a while, to fully throw yourself into it will cause you harm in the long run. And this applies to all of you reading my post, as well.

...

... now would be a good time to apply my advice, mundane, instead of giving me a sour look about it.

strangeboy

I should be angry at you, right? I should be insulted. Really, largely insulted because you like me because I'm-- what'd you say? "Dumb" and "cute like a puppy." Seriously? That's rude.

But I guess I can overlook it since this place seems awesome and almost everyone's there already! Where's Porthos, though? And what do you mean, you might not do my application? You created me; you better follow through!

manofiron

It’s a date. It’s not a big deal. It happens the same time every year.

The only one who’s even thinking about it is you. And if you want to do that, go ahead. Be my guest. But you’re doing it alone.

I have better things to do.

gesturedtoallofme

You pick the strangest times to bring me back out. Look, I have to get ready for Snoggletoff, and you- And you are still thinking about me and that crazy Scottish girl, aren't you?

Okay, I can see where you'd get the idea that my taste in girl is... No, I'm not putting it that way. We'll say that I like the spirited sort. The point, though, is that it's a bad idea.

Are we done now?

thiscloakisgreen

At last. For once your impertinent brain thought me incapable of your feeble tasks, now it is only of DOOM!

Your other fair, young muse is already there, so why not I? A question verbose, never spoken, but obvious. And finally, your mind capitulated to me, the face of inevitability. Horrors and monsters barely scratch the surface of what it is I have seen in my lifetime. My first demon slain by my hand happened when I was nary half your age. With my bare hands, as it were. Now they bend to my will.

I would advise--nay, COMMAND you--to acquire me some new avatar pictures. Surely you can find more of these "animesque" pictures as much as my proper figure. Such images impose my flexibility.

sonof_thrain

I ask little of you, scribe. Only that you trust me on my quest with the other dwarves and the hobbit. I must face the dragon Smaug and get back what is rightfully mine and the dwarven people. Eridor. I understand you have doubts but we are a hardy race and will pursue our goal. We cannot fail.

Current Mood: curious

wyverary

I'm doing my best to understand what's going on here, but roleplaying begins with R and you know that's going to make things difficult for me. I don't like the word mundane, can we use clerk? Amanuensis?

Not to mention they're sure to confuse me with the other one from The Hobbit, as if I could be such a nasty, uncouth creature! No humans understand the difference between a common dragon and a wyvern, you know.

But Baker Street begins with B and that seems a nice enough place but I don't think I want to go to Chicago thank you very much. It doesn't sound like they take wyverns there. But if we're just going to go on a lot of different places and make some friends I suppose that could be well enough. So long as you promise there will be radishes.

savarin

You've been doin' some pretty crazy stuff lately. You got me speakin' French to guys that only know English-- yeah, that makes sense, doesn't mean I like it -- and in the freezin' cold, no less! This Baker Street place is a bad influence!

And what's with this Zahhak you keep mentionin'?! I'd cut my tail off before you'd ever get me in that! Seriously, sweaty robots? Where the heck did that come from?

Oh, and now you just figured out how short I really am, and ya need help makin' sure people know? Hah! I ain't helpin' one bit! Let 'em think I'm tall! Maybe if ya treated me nicer, I'd cooperate!

mizukagami

It's good to see you again. I don't think I'll ever get used to calling you 'mundane' though, no da. I think that maybe you should carefully consider if you want to bring me back into a game. Your friend is right, you are pretty busy. I know you know that too, no da. So just don't rush these things and remember that things will get easier soon, no da.

chameleon_winds

Where... did you even find th-- no, you know what? It doesn't matter. Give it here.

[Nope.]

I know all of your deepest fears, mun, don't make me --

[Oh, what's that? Share a picture of you from your university days to the whole world? Sure thing!]

Gg -- TAKE THAT BACK! NOW!

[I REGRET NOTHING.]

lix

My dear girl, I realize that simpering Hector is much more your speed in this tawdry little world you play in, but don't knock a good vintage til you try it. I've all the pop the others do without the ill-directed misconceptions of so little life lived. We'll have a ball.

Yes, continue your viewings, though I don't see the point of all that documenting my finer quips. You could recall the important ones. That's the real point of it, isn't it?

And yes, opening that bottle of wine would be a perfectly marvelous idea.

keepstrue

Still enjoying yourself?

ex_chillaxing78

Yeah, I'm surprised no one thought of this name first, too. But hey, at least we have it now!

So what's the plan here? I'm not just going to sit in your head, am I? What's the fun in that?

thedarling

I'm going to assume that you realize I'm supposed to be blonde and are choosing to ignore that preconceived notion for the beat of your own drum. I applaud that, but when people think Wendy Darling, they inevitably think blonde.

Yet, I am brunette.

I feel there is a significant miscommunication here, regardless of whether Mr Barrie specified my hair color or not. Also, you're very stubborn.

flesheatingfashion

You say you "don't think highly of me", and yet here I am.

Really, your opinions are inconsequential. Find me a new world, and I'll take care of the rest.

julian_bashir

Major Kira and Garak. Married.

I realize that it's just due to a curse, but... God.

You could, at the very least, stop enjoying it so much.

finalheaven

It's... been a while, hasn't it? You've moved on to better and happier things. Of course I miss the fun we've had together, but I've got my family to worry about. You know how it is. Plus, after everything...

Please don't go making plans. You're not ready yet.

literallyheartless

Mun...it would be a good idea if you could possibly give me a different appearance. I already look similar to an original character of yours so it would be wise to do so. Plus you need to get more icons for myself, even if you have to draw them.

Do not be lazy, you always seem to be like that.

fallenangelclass

There, there, mun...

I suppose you should've seen this coming the moment you rewatched episodes 1-24, read the manga, saw the Rebuild version and finally ended your, quoting, endless spiral of pain and depression with Campus Apocalypse.

If it helps you feel any better, I missed you too?

ex_fulminous732

You miss me, huh? Somehow I find that hard to believe. You've moved on, and so have I.

It was fun while it lasted, but you and I both know this is temporary.

Don't go making promises you can't keep.

boukendesho

So you finally decided to give this place a try, huh? You've been procrastinating long enough, haven't you?! I mean, I know it's hard to try new things, but sometimes you've just gotta jump right in! Plus, you never know what's waiting for you! I'm sure you won't regret it, especially since I'm here with you!

Hey, wait, are there really aliens and time travelers here? And robots and espers and sliders and superheroes and magical girls and all those sorts of things?! WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO BRING ME HERE?

Mysteries of the world, show yourself immediately to the great and powerful Haruhi Suzumiya!

since1928

Oh! Hiya, Mun!

Aw, don't look like that– not when we haven't talked in a while! I know it's busy around this time of year everywhere, so don't worry about it. I just thought it'd be a nice opportunity to pop up and say hello, haha.

See? You're perking up! Now go do what you gotta do. I'll be waiting here!

tyrant_flughude

Don't think I don't see you over there, mundane. No, there's no point in trying to hide it, I can see what you're doing quite clearly. Just know that I won't have it!

You're taking me away from my duties as a demon by dragging me off to this place, and that is completely unacceptable. I should be striking fear into the hearts of humans, and yet here I am, unable to perform the most basic of tasks because of your fickle whims.

No, mundane. You WILL send me back, and we shall never speak of this again, is that understood?

-Tyrant Valvatorez

cheerupemoborg

So, this is where you draw the line eh? Say, you seem awfully serious about this!

The reboot frustration was understandable, seeing as how I no longer exist... but this is the competition we're talking about. Why should I care?

Anyway, no. I don't know any good manga to read. Why would I know that? Fool.

findatree

I can't believe this! Real snow! And a whole garden full of living plants! Plus there's going to be food that doesn't bounce? I didn't think that was even possible!

And I might get to see a castle.

This is so amazing!!

justnumbers

[Sigh.] Oppressive form of government? Ruined world? Well, at least it sounds like home so far. As long as these... "United Earth" folks don't suddenly decide to start wearing football pads and crucifying people, it'll be all right.

So the question now is this, mun. Benny's gun? Joshua's? Or are you going to be a jerk and dump me into a new world with just a plain old 9mm handgun? Because if we're going to work together, I'll need your cooperation.

Thank you for your time, mun.

You're looking to me? I preferred being forgotten.

Leave me.

vainvoid

[Annoyed Vanitas is annoyed.]

Oh, this is just great. You got rejected at one game, you can't try again because the apps are closed. The game that you want to send me has its apps closed and you have no freaking idea where you want to send me. Oh this is just beautiful. No really, we're getting off to a great start.

[Even when pissed, Vanitas is still the epitome of snark and sarcasm.]

Current Mood: aggravated

U-Um, you really should get working on finishing my route... Well, I'm not someone you'd like there, so I understand-- but, weren't you planning to app me? Did you change your mind already?

[ She tilts her head, inconspicuously hiding some of her face with her hair. Ah, she's so shy. ]

You're almost at the end, do you think you can do it? I-It's not like you do much in your free time anyways. I'll be here, if you want to take me anywhere. I don't really mind, so-- [ Could you please stop considering reading Nee-san's route while finishing mine? And could you not make fun of Shirou anymore? ]

losthero

....Oh mun.

....I- ....why did you bring me here i-in the first place?

There is no home for me here. ...I have no purpose. I c-c-could not....function properly, in any of these...g-a......games. ....The crown makes me so unstable. Each and every day, it's hold on m-me gets stronger and stronger, and I forget more and more.

My family is but a distant memory, and m-my life as I once knew it is now over.

I wouldn't have friends. My insanity would drive them aw-away- ...I would try to consume any place I arrived in with my ice.

.....so why....? ....Why would you tempt me, torture me in this w-way? ...E-especially when my better half occupies a bigger s-space for you than I myself?

J-just leave me, please. ...Leave me to suffer in peace, as I should be-

Alone.

the_maple_man

I'm glad that your friend came by, too, eh? I think you really needed the cheering up, Mun, so I'm glad she was able to make you smile especially today.

I'm also glad that you finally remember me. [A slight pause as he smiles and waits.] You do remember who I am, right?

Right?

[...Who?]

...It's Canada.

madmadworld

There's nothing wrong with me. Why do you insist on changing me?

gandere

So this is what you meant by giving Archer a decent Christmas present. Geez, I don't really celebrate that sort of thing, but I suppose I could approve of this.

I have to admit that I'll miss that metal arm though. It was nice being able to punch idiots whenever they deserved it without having to worry about breaking my knuckles. An opportunity like that doesn't come up often, so it's a shame you decided to make me return to complete my story instead of porting me to another game.

... You're not expecting me to thank you for that, are you?

insouciantrebel

A 'Zombie' Apocalypse is less of a problem than the one I was facing with Dean. I do not see why you are all that worried. I know how to fire a weapon. Ask Dean or Chuck if you do not believe I am a good shot. Just because you find me impercipient at times, does not mean I intend to stumble to my death or hold hands with one of the zombies.

Try not to forget that I am still me. I do know how to handle myself. I just intend to live a while before I die. You can call it honoring the old Dean if it makes you feel better. Personally, I just do not see the point in maintaining that avoidance of all the more enjoyable aspects of life. I don't have a soul. I won't be going back to Heaven. What use is piety in a world forsaken?

Try not to let me mess up this second chance at saving Dean. I like that version of him. I have grown to miss it.

I must also admit I find it amusing you consider this version of me more convivial than when I still had my Grace.

You must be new.

I think we have issues.
