Dawn of
The First Day

- 72 Hours Remain -

Well. I can't say I can be too surprised that such a story has brought me to mind once more. Matters of the battle between Light and Dark must by their very nature be a weighty matter in any world. And it seems to me that the Dark in that world lies very deep indeed.

But you must remember that it is all a part of the pattern. And the darker the pattern grows, the brighter the few threads of Light will shine.

alwayskidnapped

My lady, please, try not to be too upset? There is no need to be so sad; I can assure you, you will see your friend again. You had a lovely time while she was out here, did you not? You did things I am most certain I would never do, but... Perhaps you only get to see her once a year, yes, but sometimes the distance can only strengthen the bonds of friendship. The year will go by quickly, you will see -- perhaps this time around, you can go and see her?

[ Annette tilts her head, before smiling and shrugging slightly. ]

Now, why don't you go and do your laundry and play one of those games you insisted on getting? I think that will help take your mind off of things for a bit.

fortitiio

If there is one thing I don't understand, it is why you have taken a sudden interest in me. So tell me, then--What are your intentions?

dinesandblasts

Seriously? You seriously drop the pen here? Wow. And here I thought we had something special. Well...don't twit out on me. C'mon. It'll take a bit, but seeing as I've already got a futon and some beanbag chairs up here, it's not likely that I'm gonna leave ya' so fast, so soon.

So go to bed, and we'll "brain" my entire story together when your thought process isn't running entirely on that sparkling apple cider you've got right there.

eggboy

S-so, uh, you're my mun? I, well, I don't really know what a mun is, but I think it means you're my property. I can't take you into the center of the Earth like dad did with mum, but I still won't let anyone else touch you, okay?

Nobody touch my mun! She's my woman!

Okay. That should keep them away from you. You should tell me if they make eyes at you, though, so then I can scare them away like a real man.

testarossanightdriver

[The voice is strangely hissing, the product of a decade spent with dirt in his vocal cords. He wears a red sports jacket with a letter K on it. His skin is an unhealthy gray.]

You don't even have a license. And you think you can play The UndeaDriver?

Fuckin' pathetic.

coolitonthepuns

Dude! "A glaring lack of foresight" is not one of my "most notable qualities."

These are my most notable qualities, in order:
1) Awesomeness
2) Ladies love me
3) Leadership skills
4) Ice powers

So get it right, okay?

Love (but very little of it) Bobby "The Iceman" Drake.

flower_sword_vista

Now, now my good mun, you're being much too hard on yourself. You may think I'm too obscure a character to be playing, but surely you must recognize the fact that even the greatest swordsman in the world has heard of me?!

Hmm? Oh yes, I suppose that most of you muns are following the exploits of that young pup Luffy rather than my own. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I can see now where you are feeling a little more distraught.

Yet you can rest assured mun! Even if you feel there's not enough to work with, I shall fight with you till the end.

hippie_shifter

It'll be good to be back, even if I think I'll want to take a vacation from the Titans for a bit. I've got to...process what happened back at my home. Trigon was bad, but the Black Lanterns were much worse.

invisible_one

Mun-san,

Can you stop believing everything Kagami-kun says while drunk? I really doubt that the End of the World and his dunk will happen at the exact same time.

P.S. There will be no End of the World.

doingthemistything

Okay, so you haven't completely dropped the ball yet. Nice.

Just one teensy request, mun? You keep talking about how involved I am with activities and stuff, so... maybe it'd be a little nice to show it? Also, you never got to that log that Shindou's mun put up about soccer practice. You should probably get to that. Aside from that, good job! It's nice to see how much you're enjoying that game. Keep up the good work.

veryimportantcreature

My mundane, do not give up hope! Both of us have seen a few members of the Great Valley back at that place, livejournal was it? There is no reason for us to give up now hm?

Such strange names your species have.

I understand you wish to app me at that odd place, either me or that…lady with white. I have always considered you a young woman with good taste, so I have every confidence you will choose wisely.

psiandsteak

Muuuuuuun.

Didn't you say you got somewhere to go for me? It's almost been a month and I'm still sitting around, waiting. Not that I mind. I got Mom's steaks to eat and King and Lucas to play with.

But you promised me an adventure.

whitescalesbigmouth

So he's going too?

...

Oh.

[This is going to be one awfully lonely Christmas in the city for this young dragon. First her best friend and now--]

I guess I'll just have to deal with it won't I? I still have my other friends right? ~~And Randy will be there soon.~~ So I'm not totally alone right?

snowboundheart

My world was really created on this date? Its...a little hard to believe.

I...I mean my memories from before a few years ago are a little fuzzy. But that doesn't mean the world as I know it didn't exist before that point. Right?

[...]

I really don't want to think about this anymore, Miss mun. It's a little depressing. So, if you don't mind, I'm going to play monster hunter for awhile.

myownhand

I don't want t'see anyone in any "harem pants", let alone any boys.

I don't even get what you're talkin' about.

Your school work is over, right? Then y'should be lookin' int'games, not int'what I want t'see people dressed in.

niceguypose

Please, Mun-san. Can we not speak of the events of recent chapters? Otherwise, I believe that not even the fountain of youth has enough liquid mass to supply my tears!

Can we instead speak of something more positive in that place you have stuck me in? Such as... your sudden reversal of your intentions to drop me! I am glad that I have been been able to earn your favor back. The lotus of Konoha does bloom twice, after all. And I look forward to what you have planned for me. The prospects of acting as or competing with this Santa-sama, who seems as skilled as any Hokage, sounds like one of the most worthy challenge I could ask for. And getting the squirrel whose life I saved all those years ago as a Christmas gift? My heart will overflow with emotion. Not to mention that... Sakura-san may arrive in the next cycle. This is so exciting!

[Yes, focus on that rather than the horrible news that she or other new arrivals could bring.]

Please, Mun-san! Allow me to keep investigating the interests of those who wish to apply here, and this "meme" where such people test their drives! And... before this ends, Mun-san, I ask that you give me permission to call out to one person, please, with all of my youth! The one whom I miss most dearly....

GAI-SENSEI! WHERE ARE YOU!

savioress

It's... better than what we were expecting [Maybe; honestly, that fanart based on that description did give them both a small panic attack--though really somehow it does... match the final product.] I look more clothed, at least.

[Except like Serah, she's going to have her sides exposed. And now her entire back, too.]

Look, this is just the first of 20 designs. Might be my default. Might not.

Don't know how I feel about being anything but being a 'Dark Knight' in that armor.

[Heavy sigh and a shake of her head.]

Look, are you done being petty and stupid? Last night you overreacted and you know that. Woman up already and don't drag this out longer than it has to.

You're only making yourself feel worse and that's the last thing you (and I) need.

doubletailpilot

At least you let me help out during the fight, but it probably would've been a whole lot easier if I could've Bended.

Or, an' jus' hear me out on this, if I'd built that hoverplane I was nagging you about a month or so back.

C'mon, mun! It'd be loads easier to lemme learn how to Bend at least a LITTLE or to get a workshop up an' running! I gotta be prepared for the next time something happens, an' a hoverplane that's fully armed and equipped would be the best way! You said you don't wanna get me killed if you can help it, well, what if somethin' worse comes along?!

[A sigh that could be seen as melodramatic. :| ]

I'm the only one thinking about future disasters around here, aren't I?

weallgonnadie

[So you may have been minding your own business, like this poor mundane, when suddenly THREE DAYS AAAAAAAAAAND--]

THE END IS NEEEEAAAAAAAAAR! WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!

[Oh god, whhhhhhhhhhhhhy.]

protos

You've finally decided that we're going somewhere, mundane?

... I don't want to be trapped there by myself. What about Asbel? Cheria? The Captain? Hubert? Pascal?

What about Richard?

jumpeduplittleshit

You couldn't just leave well enough alone, could you? No, I suppose that's too much to ask for. You could at least do some reading for this.

And the username isn't funny.

metamorphosing

Mun, you keep insisting that this change will be 'good for me,' that things are going to be better once I'm there, but I'm beginning to think that you're trying to convince yourself more than me. We both know full well that humans are the same no matter where you go. No matter what twist you put on it, every world is the same. They all fear what they don't understand.

I have a family. People like me, people who understand that we shouldn't have to hide.

Don't make me start all over again. Please.

biggerisbetter

That username is not art! Why didn't you give me an artistic one?!

That one is just stating the obvious!

more_afraid_of_you

No, I don' think 's funny! 'Specially 'f you has my head covered wit' the stuff! What 'f I eats some 'cause 's everywhere? I ain't comin' back if I die!

An' I ain't gonna get rid of it by kissin' 'less you finds me a Gamma. Ain't kissin' nobody who ain't Gamma.

rebelinhell

You didn't expect me to be upset, did you? I can take things as they come. And just look at all those people. It's a veritable buffet of souls out there.

It would be just a little more exciting if some of the others were there too, but I can handle myself. Just don't tell the Ticket-Keeper I'm taking a vacation. I'm sure he'd lecture me to death if that was possible.

greyify

Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery. Jane Austen, I believe. I think we should let it hold true for us. A mistake is a mistake.

Your headspace is quieter lately, Mundane. Once upon a time I would have been thankful, but I'll admit... it feels almost like stagnation. Perhaps you need structure? Get out of that house and seek out adventure, as much as I am loath to suggest such a thing to anyone. Maybe you'll find an as yet undiscovered motivator.

By which I mean get a job, Mundane, and maybe you will perk up a little. As it is you're dwelling on the little things.

Current Mood: calm

robinsparkles

Listen. Mun. Maybe.... I was mistaken, but personally I thought I was very clear when I said that I'm not really the biggest fan of feelings.

So do you think maybe you could hold the waterworks and, I don't know, maybe...

stop watching that scene over and over again??

I mean, don't get me wrong, I appreciate your sudden renewed interest... and the fact that you think my hair "finally looks good again" -- actually, the more I think about that, I think I'm kind of insulted by that commentary -- but you've got, you know, things to do today.

[ judgmental stare-down, scherbatsky style.

... annnnd then suddenly she's the one reaching for the play button, with a giddy tiny smile. ]

Ok, maybe just one more time.

kost_tvorets

Really, kroshka? You think this is a good idea? [Looks bemused.]

I do enjoy getting out and about but-- of all of us to choice, it was me? Perhaps you need your head examined.

diana_abel

Dear Mun,

I know. I know how scary it is. But I don't think you give me enough credit. I'm stronger than I look. I mean, you're the one who gave me that song:

You cannot close the acorn once the oak begins to grow
And you cannot close your heart to what it fears and needs to know
That the hardest part of love is the letting go...

Some of it will hurt. Sam and Jack the most, I think. But there are so many new adventures to look forward to. I mean, there's Ben and Pasha and Castiel, the stupid ass potato. And who knows what else? There's a ginormous future out there. I trust in that. And maybe you should too.

Peace and love,

Diana "so not the Cainite messiah" Abel

hypo

Now you take a step back, lady; you know my old bones weren't meant for this sort of gadding about. Let me kick my feet up and enjoy life for awhile before you start making grand plans for another ill-planned jaunt into space.

And yes, whoop-de-doo, I've got tear ducts. The fact I had to actually use them is Jim's fault, mark my words, so you can quit making that sad little face at me. Jim's fault. Not mine. Go find one of the many Jims running around here and treat him instead; I'm sure he'll lap up the extra attention with relish.

Goddamn it.

the_tv_is_a_lie

...So, wanna bet that a lot of people are going to do something to make us flip a table or two?

[Obviously, they will. What's the point? 8|]

Guessing how bad it's going to get. I got nothing to do, so I don't see what's the problem.

[...Really. You have to be the biggest oddball I have ever picked up.]

You said it yourself, as did your friend. What was that phrase again? 'I can't be tamed'?

... [Keeping up that lineface now, while mun smacks his forehead. Success. 8|b]

perfectsfag

Miss Mundane? Why are you so worried about that name? I don't see any reason to act so strange.....

zhilbar

[Sigh.]

So THIS is what got you wanting Me to socialize and start interacting again? I do hope you're not going to go through brief spurts of activity just after every movie- well, no doubt your vaunted laziness shall save me from that fate, at least.

And I don't see what you have against Me gathering thirteen wizards and a dwarf to go rob a halfling. Fair is fair, after all; why shouldn't we get some equality going on here?

nihonjika

Don't even think about updating. I've got enough to deal with as it is.

theboywiththebook

It's okay mun...I'll be fine. I mean, Santa's coming around right? He'll answer my letter. Even if I don't get to go home for Christmas this year hopefully, gramps will have Emma and Snow back in time. I wouldn't want him to be alone either. He's been like that for a lot longer than me.
But you never know, Emma might come to Luceti during this cycle. Maybe even Gramps and Grandma too.

[He probably wouldn't mind Regina being there all that much either. Provided she behave.]

Anyways maybe you should get back to tagging people they've probably been waiting for awhile.

helpstroubled

You really think this place will be a good fit for me, huh? [ Audrey shakes her head, hands jammed into her coat pockets as she paces a couple steps. She chews the inside of her bottom lip for a moment, thinking.

She stops pacing, and it's obvious that something's occurred to her. She looks up. ]

There are people there- people who need my help?

[ Cue the deep frown. Then she smiles and chuckles quietly through her nose, running her fingers through her blond hair. ]

Well, all right then. I guess someone has to do it. And if no one else will-

[ She stops again, the smile faltering. Just for a moment. ] I guess it'll have to be me.

Again.

[ An eyeroll and a sigh. ]

scarrednaivity

You forgot that you had me again didn't you?

antiblackcoat

( Spoilers, just in case )

wrenchjockey

Mun, what the hell are you doing. What is this, even. This might be fun, but you'll probably just make a big fool out of yourself. Let's... just hope this works.

shouldered

It's very kind of you, ma'am, taking me in like this. And I'm sure the others, if they show up, too, they'll feel the same. Any kind of break from the life we've been living's a gift.

[ ... ]

That said, I think there's a serious point that needs to be made here. My family, my friends? They're not to be toyed with. Matter of fact, I'm not real keen on that, either. If you're working to keep us safe, then, that's all right with me. But I've heard of these games, and I won't have it. Not with all we've been through.

son_of_durotan

While I can see why it made you think of me, I do not understand why you made me watch it as well.

...No, I do not sympathize with the orcs as they are depicted there. They remind me of what Grom told me our people were before the great wars... I will admit it feels odd to sympathize more with the dwarves than those sharing my people's name.

Hrm... it would be best if you simply focused on returning to Azeroth. A lot has changed, and while I trust in my allies and the leadership of the Horde in my absence, but I would like to return to Orgrimmar. I just wish Chen's people were left out of our war.

detonator

Whatayou want from me, sister? You ain't jugglin' shit, don't bullshit me. All I got are one-offs and what-ifs, alright, let's not go gettin' ahead of ourselves. I'm cool cool with it, hey, don't gotta worry about keepin' the gears clean clean, so to speak.

Drop it, lady, we got a good thing thing here.

PP

callmepatrick

Look, I get why you want to have me around. I mean. [He lifts up the lapels of his coat and glances down at himself.] Who wouldn't?

But we're never going to get comfortable with one another unless you stop freaking out about it, relax, and just get to know me. There's no reason to spaz.

You are going to have to change that journal layout though. Seriously.

kryptonian

I know you're not a huge fan of being impulsive about RP, but we've been together for five years, haven't we? You know me better than many of the other characters you've written, even if you've never seriously sat down and played with me. You know that. I know it.

Well, I'm here to do all the impulsiveness for you. I think you should do it. There's more you can do with me than with Olive or Miranda or Sheldon or any of them... and now that Clark is outta town, you can give me a shot.

So you should take this chance. Let's have some fun! What are you possibly waiting for?

And don't give me any lame excuses.

xoxox,
Kara

P.S. Go study for that last exam!! I'm never going to graduate from anything, but you're going to. Go.

afreakinghorse

Okay, I get that you think I'm a great dad, or whatever, but really?

This really isn't the best time to be trying to play me or whatever you want to call it. I kind of have a lot on my plate, you know?

Look, all I'm saying is, I don't think this is the greatest idea you've ever had.

fabulousquack

Well, well, I'm surprised you came back, munny. I was worried you'd forgotten all about me! It's good you haven't though, because I have lots of things to do and injections to give.

Hey, mun, to make up for leaving me, how about you have the first injection, ne?

notjustawriter

So you're tryin' this out again, huh?

I can't say I blame ya, right? But you sure about this, y'know? The whole timeline thing. I mean, I know it won't be that long and all, and Gracie can hold off without hearing from me for a couple weeks.

The whole animal souls thing, though. That's real? It's pretty odd. Hard to believe.

carbonell

Don't you have other muses you could torture? Perhaps that young boy with the cat ears that you've been missing lately? Or that dog boy. There's a good girl, you could app him instead of me rather then how you did things the other way round in the post apocalyptic game I'm in. Now you want to put me in potentially a third game and perhaps bring Miss. Potts with me.

I'm noting a flaw in your logic here. Just because Sigyn's mun enjoys me exorbitantly doesn't mean that everyone would. Especially as I bring with me ... issues. Personally I feel you should think on this a bit longer then thirty second.

Oh, and do quit pouting. You're the one who decided that my face in the supplemental looked "stubborn".

twiceforhim

The others are right about you being too easy to convince. I know you've been sitting on this for a while, but watching one movie again shouldn't be enough to push you into a commitment. Not a big one.

I appreciate the rewrite. I do. But you need to remember that I'm not in the same class of people you usually take on -- you know what I mean. It's a big leap either way, so just make sure you're doing this for the right reasons.

regalpoints

Wha-- no! I most certainly will not do such an idiotic thing! No! There is absolutely no point in -- Oh! Fine, as you wish.

....

....

[ waaaaaaiiiiiiiiting. ]

Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Princess!

thirteenth_brat

You already knew it was going to be more than one movie. You also knew it was going to be a long movie, so maybe the big soda was a bad idea, even if the plan was to share it with your dad and your sister. You still drank most of it anyway.

On the movie itself, you can't even get your thoughts straight on it. How am I supposed to comment. I live in your head, remember? The only clear thought you've got on it right now is that you want the soundtrack.

...

You're right. I agree on that too. Then again, you want a lot of soundtracks for the simple fact that there are a lot of movies and video games with good music. Are you getting your brain together now?

( Actual spoilers in here. )

... No, Mun. The Satellite is crazy enough. We really don't need some of those characters there.

tarnishes

How did that song go? There is no rest for the wicked?

And what's wrong with my face? How can't I be enough like a model enough already?

nail_cleanthatup

Nnnnnaaaaaaiiiiiilllllllll!

What is this place?

You're not Nail.

goodwilled

Are you really sure about this? If this is what you want to do, then I"m going to support you. It's just..there are some things that need doing back at home. Some of my friends need our help, and leaving them in trouble is the last thing I want to do. Are you sure that this won't affect how things turn out? I guess all I can really do is trust you, just like I can trust my friends in being alright even if I'm somewhere else. I believe in them. They're strong.

[ a pause, and his hand moves to the side of his head ]

Still..a world of dreams..sounds like something out of a book Hubert might have read when we were kids. Well, if that's where we're headed, I'll give it my best shot.

debeffingmorgan

Not. A fucking. Word. Not one.

rrbando_rambo

Can't we take a break from th' games for awhile? It's snowin' outside right now an' we're missin' it!

All this snow and a canon without a Christmas special. This means th' whole world right now that I get ta sculptin' somethin' outta ice. I'll get to what in a sec...

I think we have issues.
