Yes but can you sustain it? That is really the question - and the answer to which all depends upon.

For a certain definition of 'all'. And a certain definition of 'depends', too, I should imagine.

It would be easier to manage with some backup, that's all I'm saying. I won't even much complain that you seem a bit... adrift, if you catch my meaning, as to where you even intend to place me.

So long as it's not on any boats!

escarabajo

There's no way I'm the only person in here--the relative 'here' being your, uh, brain or whatever--who isn't a dark and brooding anti-hero who bottles up all of their feelings until they form a horrible, bitter, impenetrable nucleus of emotional trauma.

...

...Is there?

risingshepard

Well, as they say, them's the breaks.

Maybe they'll learn to take something with a grain of salt after this. Or maybe not. Humanity can be stupid like that, for all the good it's done.

[This coming from someone who places a lot of faith in it. Geez, snark queen.]

Wherever there's good, there's bad. After a while of putting up with it? You just learn to get with the program and do what needs doing.

Speaking of, good to see you're slowly getting back in top form--hopefully we'll be able to keep up better this time around. We have a lot of things to crack down on, so you'd best get to it, kid. Sitting on your ass with your arms where you can see 'em isn't gonna do you any good.

reluctant_tinman

Jump scares? After everything we've been through, that's what gets you?

It's okay, just put it down for the night. The game will still be there in the morning.

beyondhumanity

This is completely pointless for you, as you never follow through on anything. Enabled by Leon's mun again? I don't doubt it.

As for me? This place is full of impostors and I've had enough of those to last me a lifetime.

rebootgivesyouwings

Why would anyone even joke about that?

hasnomentor

Dear mundano,

We need to talk. I'm liking some of the tings you're going but I'm not looking forward to others ese. I mean things are going pretty good so far in Nautilus but I know you're not going to let it stay that way, are you? I figured as much. I can tell by the look on your face. You have plans, I get it. Doesn't mean I like them. You think you could leave some things alone or make them better? Like...maybe get me more dates with her?

[He blushes a little bit.]

I'd really like that if you could work that out for me. Might make some of the things you're planning bearable.

But then there's that other game. You're really messed up half the time, aren't you? I mean, everything is going great in one game and then horrible in the other. Why do you gotta do that? Can't you spread around the good and cut down on the bad ese? I know I'd really appreciate it. Just something to think about. And for me to hope for.

One last thing. Don't think I didn't see the enabling you were doing. He's been through enough. Don't keep trying to get him sent there with me. I don't care what you think. He really doesn't need to be subjected to all this too. I'll stick to being a...what did you call it? Right. A 'long canon warrior'. That's it, right? Good.

Well I think that's all I'm gonna say. You should get some sleep then get to masking presents for people. Don't slack around before Christmas. It's bad ese. Get to work.

ex_elucidation693

Hmm. No. It was boring the first time, it remains just as dull the nth time.

It's a sufficient answer for you on the matter.

wintersbreath

So, I've been informed that the Chantry outright denied my request to give the Circle of Magi independence. It figures, doesn't it? The one time I decide to put altruism above personal gain, everything goes up in flames.

I do not care to waste my breath on idiots any longer. Let us speak no more of it.

On a lighter topic, my dear mun, you wish to put me in a game? You are very brave. Very brave, and very foolish. The last time arcane mastery of this ilk was released upon a land, even the darkspawn couldn't help but tremble. And you wish to do this again to another place?

[ She chuckles. ]

Perhaps the Chantry was right to fear us.

devil_groom

...so can I get married to a demon already?

twentysixthprince

So Devi, you said that on Christmas you can wish for something if you have been nice all year, right? Then I would like to make a wish!

I wish for my friends to come to the game I am at. Or at least people I know. The only ones of... you said it's called a canon, right? Anyways the only ones in that game are that strange man with scars on his face and me. And you play us both.

Maybe my wish is selfish, but I really want to see them again...

arming

Well, that went well. And here I thought it'd be high time to actually have a proper one.

gleans

... If you actually go through with this fae thing, Cass is never gonna let me hear the end of it. Like, it sounds cool! In... a creepy, slightly ironic way. But the fact that the first person I thought of was Cass and the second thing I thought of was ~~nightmarepig~~ ~~feypigmare~~ pigmare should maaaaybe tell you something.

ex_sulked683

Stop associating me with stags! I get it; it's my animagus form. It doesn't necessarily mean you should be laughing at pictures of them because you immediately think of me.

[ but hey james remember fifth year when you and sirius and peter found that book on animagi ]

Don't talk to me 'bout that! Merlin, that was embarrassing.

badasspapawolf

...This name doesn't work.

And are you sure I can't eat the medium?

failedreintegration

Frustrating? Why do you say I'm frustrating? How is what I'm doing frustrating? You know what's frustrating is when someone won't leave me alone.

Don't think I don't see you struggling. [Smug? Oh yes. Assured? Yes. ~~Feeling vindictive and nasty? why ye~~] It's to be expected however.

[He just smiles a nasty smile] You keep telling yourself it's because you're "new to this" and "think differently" [Instead of, as he wants to imply, that his writer is an idiot.]

jack_you_up

Mun...Ah was havin' a good day but yer pushin' it. Now leave it ALONE!

Besides don' ya have that game ah'm in ta check up on? Ah might not even be in it anymore.

heartboobs

Ahahaha! Wow, I'm so happy! I wasn't expecting him. Aren't we lucky? Now Ulala won't have to worry about a thing!

[because she's totally going to agree with that statement

and also with Baofu just being in Zodion don't you know but]

It makes me really hope Katsuya will show up again sooner or later, too.

... Huh? He wouldn't survive this time?

anythingyousay

Who am I to say you already have enough silly characters to play in forum based roleplay games, I absolutely know nothing about this form of entertainment! And you obviously know how to properly manage your time to easily insert time for me in your completely free schedule.

I can't wait to be sent to a game that'll turn me mortal, where I will mostly like get slaughtered on a regular basis, though I probably deserve it! This'll be fun!

acro_bat_ic

So, one minute I'm in the river, and the next I'm drowning in the sea? With demons? ...And pops was worried about me being a police woman.

You know Bats is gonna come after me, right? I mean, I am his one and only sidekick. I even have batgear.

...Had batgear? You're destroying my stuff? That is so not cool!

ex_chillaxing78

Well, "Jack" had to be short for something, didn't it? You think that'll be enough to tide you over until you get to more of my story? Hey, I know how you feel, but why not relax and have fun instead?

tonytony

[there's a strange, stubby upright tanuki deer looking thing with a blue nose pulling on the rim of its oversized pink felt tophat.]

NO!! It can't be true! You can't be serious!! You can't take me there! I swear on my honor as a man, I'll n-...never forgive you!

—Eh? Oh...

Okay... I guess it's good that Robin is there... Nami, too. That makes it a little less scary. But what about everyone else?! And, and—what are those fae?! Ugh, it sounds terrible! So creepy, so creepy! Creepy!

...But I guess, if people really need a doctor...

I'm used to small villages like that. I'm used to the perils of unsupervised health, too...

But, I'm a little scared... Is it... really for the best?

littlebluedoll

[Hello there dear_mun! There's a little "adorable" blue doll leading against a wall somewhere with the words "Be my friend?" written on the wall in purple paint. He's actually really happy to be here with so many people! That means there's more people to be friends with!

So do you want to be this little blue doll's friend?

Forever?]

crackpotcrocker

Mun! Stop sending me to places when there's winter going on. You must be out of your mind! SHUT UP! It's besides the point that I am!

...^{Either that or you enjoy tormenting...}

dogwife

Isn't it a little early to be looking at a possible game for me? You haven't reviewed the last few chapters of the manga, yet, and I really need you to know all my miko skills before you try to fill in an application for me.

Okay? Come back to me when you've got that done. Then we can both look at games and maybe decide together.

womanwhobeatyou

You do realize it is entirely your fault that you are bored?

Do stop being skittish and do something, pet, or I will have to be very forceful. Especially to one of those myriad detectives and doctors you seem so fond of introducing me to.

twintimelines

What are you doing?

I don't have time for this. We need to put together Walter's plan to defeat the observers, and you, what? Want to play games?

busiest

Hey, don't worry so much. Not to be overly optimistic, but it's speculated that it's only a hiatus, so don't be so down.

And besides, Zero will be doing fine, I'm completely sure. He and Ginga are very alike in that regard. No matter how many statistics Mal or I end up doing, they can throw them over again and again.

[ ... ]

About Merci... It's sad, I agree. I promise, I will uninstall him if he asks me to. I'm still surprised he's even still around, I had imagined they shut him off when the Dark Nebula ended.

As for Arcanarum? I'm not sure myself, actually. I'd just like to tell my younger self that everything turns out well in our world in the end. I'm not necessarily thinking I should really switch places with her.

barman

You know, you haven't sent me to a meme yet. You're quite the picky lady, aren't you, mademoiselle?

memoryguardian

Why, hello there, mun! I'm so delighted that you decided to give me a journal of my very own. That was certainly very kind of you.

But, mun, I.. Well, I do have to say...

[She is hesitant, but quickly finds her confidence and gives her mun a very stern look.]

Your teeth! They're horrendous! So yellow and, oh, do you ever floss? Is that- Is that a cavity? This is completely unacceptable! You get in your bathroom right this second and brush, young lady! ...Don't forget to floss, too!

[Sigh. How could her mun have such poor dental hygiene?]

magnificus

Thank you, mun, for finally allowing me a bit of time.

It's been a difficult term, of course; I understand that. School can be a bit of a pain, even if you're not a King or Queen of Narnia.

There certainly hasn't been any time for writing me anywhere. I'm not upset, honest.

Though I do miss everyone.

confusedloyalty

You know, the last journal still worked. Maybe not all the time, but...the sentiment was still there. I still would likely do what he told me to do if I didn't get a chance to filter and partition what he commanded and saw it wasn't something I should do. No? This is redundant and a bit inefficient, then again you are a user.

Maybe you can take this wasted energy and do something productive, like figuring out if I'm going to ever see anything but these four walls before my deletion...or let me have use of my hands again. I miss that almost as much as I miss my user abilities that I just know you won't let me regain so long as I'm trapped and surrounded by these users that want me to remember being this Sam character.

...Or even getting some idea what the enforcer is up to and if he's still functioning. Considering how many times he's caused static in my vision during sparring sessions he has to be doing alright...right?

yayntz_rayr_zhoh

Yes; this little... lull... in activity is boring, but there have been constant periods of stagnation in our war, and I'm sure the same goes for any insignificant conflicts in your race's history. And unlike them, you can do something about it. "Always choose action over inaction", or however that goes.

And I assume that whatever plan you come up with would include myself -- I'd appreciate getting away from the rest of these fools in your... "headspace".

fogcutter

...

[...]

There's not much point to this. [blunt] It's no leap of reasoning-- whatever I say will be things you're already thinking, Mundane.

... whatever you choose to do, think carefully.

wheeloffire

Dear mun,

What are you doing? You've, you've killed him!

[ mun: (charlie brown teacher speak.) ]

You may not have killed him yourself, but you have allowed it just the same! Do you not understand how important he is to me? Samwise was being attacked, and you let his mundane carry on with it. You encouraged it! And now, he's gone...!

[ mun: (more charlie brown teacher speak.) ]

... ...It is already so hard for me, in Adstringendum. Please, do not make my burden greater than it already is.

[ mun: (even more charlie brown teacher speak.) ]

Yes, I see that you have rejoined the box that you are so uncertain of. Though I do not understand why you join, but refuse to post. I hope you change your mind soon.

shutupgenis

Alright, sooo... you finished most of the canon. You know there's a whole other game, right?
At least you're confident enough to post here, I guess... I want to congratulate you, but it's not that big of a deal.
I mean, you play games and watch that YouTube thing all the time.

But, ah... You're going to play with me somewhere, right? So I won't get stuck in the back like some toy.
That one place with the animals seems alright... Colette's there, after all.
And maybe, someday, Lloyd will come too.

[And maybe Presea, someday --]

girlsleuth

Of course you've done your research. I think all those yellow-spined books on your shelf say that you've done research for years. And you so love new and creative versions of old stories. Why not really give me a try after giving me up so quickly before!

I like the face you've chosen for me. I feel -- hip and modern but no less "all-American," as people have come to call me. (And still ever so squeaky clean.) Anyways, haven't you seen how people have drawn me all these years? I hardly know what I'm supposed to look like!

Cm'on, old chum, I'm raring to go. Haven't you been waiting for this moment since you were six? Now we can really have some adventures.

~~We'll disregard that recent movie, too.~~

didntlearnanything

Well I'll be, mundane! Guess that recent episode got ya that little bit more giddyup to go ahead and make this here journal. Just don't think about sending me to one of them "sex" places. That ain't right, and I ain't going even if y'all try and make me.

( Don't worry AJ, I'd never do that! )

As long as we're both on the same page, then you got nothing to worry about same as me. Uh... and if I can make another small request? Don't put me someplace where I'd get killed. Not too keen on the idea of being brought back from the dead. ( AJ shivers a little. ) Woo, gives me the willies just thinking about it!

tophat

My, my. Being dug out of the dusty toy box now, am I?

Oh, come now. It was simply a joke, madam. Just a harmless little jest between friends.

In all seriousness, I would only be too delighted to follow your lead once again.

mikus

Ehhh, you're thinking about making your own game, mun-chan?

A game set in a high school?!

I know you've been really itching to find a calm, slice-of-life game that would allow us singing robots in without giving us alternate universes, mun-chan, but that's a lot of work! And you don't even know if anyone's even interested!

Are you really sure you wanna try this? It'd be bad if it doesn't get off the ground...

... ah, I should be cheering you on! This is no time for worrying about something like that, right? Fight-o, mun-chan!

eighteen_winters

What do I want for Christmas? you really should have asked me that a few weeks ago... But if your forcing me to tell you now, I guess I'd like to see daddy again. Then, if just for a little while, my whole family could be together again.

If you can't do that, I'd just like a date with Shirou. You can do that much, right?

I think we have issues.
