Dec. 25th, 2012

[Eponine's really bad at this comforting thing, but...]

Mlle. Mundane, please do not be sad. Just because you cannot see it tonight does not mean you cannot see it at all. Perhaps it will not be so special, but there is little you can do for that. At least you will see it, no?

Please...do not cry. [She tried and therefore no one should criticize her.]

demonicmaenad

So all a girl's gotta do to get a little stage time is go to the library!?

You are so lame. Go to the library?

[This library? It doesn't look like fun. Not at all. But her mun just keeps screaming and screaming and -]

No. I won't. You had your chance Miss priss, Miss seriousness. Go play with John-John. I don't care. Of course we're gonna win how could you even ask?

likes_to_eat_them

[Growls at the unfamiliar mun, though with this Doberman, he does anything but warn. Anyone that can understand dog speak would be able to decipher what he's saying]

Hey! Where Rosco and boss?! What do ya want?! Ya can't take me away from them!

barman

You really like me, eh, miss? I can't help it if my good looks and pleasing personality wormed their way into your heart.

[ STAHP ]

And you're actually thinking of sending me to a game. Eh, why not? It might be fun playing house for a bit. Could use a break—although the thought of being away from my bar isn't my cup of tea at all.

ihearyouthink

It's a good idea...I'm just wondering if another journal might be needed. One does only have so many icons. Really, you've used me from every age imaginable.

[smirking]

However, I am amused that the trend it more towards being younger rather than older. You've started with Sir Patrick Stewart and are ending with a young 10 year old boy. At this rate, I shall be nonexistent when you next upload icons.

~Prof. X

failedreintegration

I distinctly remember you saying last night "I should sleep tonight."

When did you change your mind?

[and then he looks very, very serious.] Leela would not appreciate it. Not at all.

mantle

Burning the midnight oil on Christmas eve, huh?

I suppose you'll be wanting another cup of coffee before long. Better order decaf this time or you'll never fall asleep.

circulates

I'm pleased to see that you're so motivated about this, it's really a joy to see you so enthusiastic about something.

I'm looking forward to the game! Teaching sounds like it'll be fun.

Though I don't think you should be so hard on yourself when you get negative feedback; you aren't being reprimanded, nor are you being criticized. It's always good to have someone give counterarguments so you can flesh out your ideas more. It'll leave less room for problems in the future if you figure out the nooks and crannies now, right?

You've been working on it all day without much of a break, why don't you go to bed soon? You're not going to be able to do much if you're tired. Forgive me for my frankness, but it's the truth.

Things will be turn out fine, mundane. Please, don't worry so much.

madcuriosity

Merry Christmas everyone!

Current Mood: cheerful

gwenhwyfar

For as short of a time, I will cherish Bran's time with me. It is... curious as it is frightening to learn that somewhere, in the future - even if it were an alternate world - I would be a mother to a child, isn't it? I don't believe what I feel.

Mourning a loss of a boy that was not truly directly mine. I didn't even think of him as a son, more like a sibling. But they all go and pass, don't they?

I will hold Mordred tighter.

legacyofcain

I cannot believe...why would even try to bring me here? I realize I can't claim I'm nothing special anymore, not with everything I've learned, but that doesn't mean I can simply abandon my quest, our quest, to just...go to another world.

Uncle Deckard is gone, and Mother can't possibly contain what lies within that twisted gem on her own. I need to be there.

Yes, the thought of some new world to explore, new research, new history, it is...appealing. It would be wonderful, honestly, something even Uncle only ever really dreamed about and-

No. No! I am the only one who can contain the soul gem. I don't know why, but there's just me. I doubt I can even afford to leave mother alone to handle it as long as we've been speaking.

I do not have time to go fight someone else's war!

prince_of_mischief

Finally I have your attention and you just shunt me to where I am stripped of my power and become a simple mortal? You've lost all your senses. You have until the end of January to stop this lunacy.

I demand you reconsider.

[Nope. Not even on Christmas.]

change_tomorrow

Oh Good Yule Miss Mun! We have a holiday festival as well! It's not as grand as the festival of Dreams of course. But then that's a once a century event so of course it's a bit of a bigger deal isn't it? I see you've been procrastinating on your work again. It's the holidays so thats alright. Still the year is nearly over so possibly if you could finish the chapter by then that would be lovely!

Have a wonderful day Miss Mun!

kappa_engineer

Merry Christmas, mun.

I hope you're able to decide on a game before the new year.

bluebeads

It's been quite awhile. I don't mind. We all have busy lives, after all. But now, maybe I can check in on Queen Himiko. Though I'm sure Waka has been taking care of her in my absence.

blastialighter

While I'm happy to be not dead, don't get me wrong, but did you really need to make this journal thingie for me?

Well, whatever. As long as you don't bug me too much.

theladyofthelake

( cut for spoilers )

practicality

I suppose I ought to thank you for this chance, Miss Mun. It is Christmas, after all, and I'd dearly like to speak with the others, if they're around.

theother_reindeer

...And to all a great day!

That fantastic day is finally here mun, a day full of love and hope! Maybe I can go visit Martini at his Christmas party, you know him and his post buddies.

Anyway to you and everyone here! I hope everyone has a wonderful and joyful day today!

eromonrecrofen

So let me get this all straight mun. First you apped me to that one game with digimon. You had me try to go good, then went evil. I cut off a guys hands and, if I do say so myself, caused a lot of trouble for the local law enforcement. Then you were planning on killing me off.

The next game you sent me too I fell in love, was trapped in a sex house, and died giving a very sappy "I'm sorry" speech. Then that fell through and I vanished.

And then you put me in a box and haven't even looked back. Now, on Christmas Day for Kat's sake, you think of putting me in another sex game? With my only company from back home being the goodie two kat version of me? As far as gifts go, this one sucks.

Though the thought of freedom again is a nice one. And you need an actual man there anyway. Even if I am a Kat. Fine. I won't return this gift just yet. I'll give it a try but mark my words. If I don't like it there I'll make sure to go down with a bang. And you know I will. I've died before. It really isn't all that bad. So don't push it. Get to writing the app soon. I'm not the most patient Kat in the world.

Just be glad I'm not Dark Kat.

Signed,

Dark Jake "Razor" Clawson

Wishing you a horrible and explosion filled Christmas.

hawkeyedgirl

Great. Merry Christmas.

jokul_frosti

Your family pushed Christmas back again this year, huh. Well. At least it's only 4 days away now, right?

I'm kinda worried, to be honest.

You don't seem as excited as you should be? Is something bothering you?

Cheer up! It's Christmas day! Maybe you should take the dogs outback and have some fun in the snow. That always brings your spirits up!

worsetodie

I'm hoping this is your idea of a joke.

[Because look at him, mundane. He hasn't worn this skin in almost thirty years.

So why not simply disguise it? The Dark One before you could do that.]

Oh, you are joking. I'll be certain to spare a chuckle when you've returned me to Storybrooke, where you found me.

[Never one well accustomed to disguising fury, his boggy, amphibious eyes are dark and burning. The fingers of his right hand twitch at his side, itching perhaps for the ubiquitous cane that's accompanied him for so long.]

I'm not in the mood for more detours, dearie. Put me back.

caughtnaked

Yoo-hoo, Mun~♥

It's no good if you keep me around in your dusty head of yours forever! It ruins my complexion. ♥

I know! A nice trip to the hot spring would be nice! ♥ Won't you take me there sometime? Hm?

untamedantinous

No. Mademoiselle, if you persist in swooning over me as you did last night, I cannot say what I will do. Do you not think I get enough of this nonsense as it is? I hardly need such things from you.

I am, however, gratified that these film-makers did a very admirable job of telling our story. I must still insist you stop this ridiculous squealing of yours. It serves no purpose whatsoever.

-E.

thanklesswork

...mm? What're ya up to now?

I ain't much of a talker, you know. Dunno why you keep insistin' I don't keep quiet.

Well, it has been a while. Guess I could use the time. Where'm I goin'?

Dunno? Well, take your time. I'm not in any kind of rush.

allsticky

Hey, hey, come on, mun! Don't be like that! Christmas is supposed to be all about giving, right? So gimme a chance! I've got it all figured out.

See, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna steal usernames, and---and not just ANY usernames. We're gonna go for the gold! You know, like the fancy ones that are just one word, and all... Anyway. We hold onto those usernames, we trade them on the black market for points, we trade those points for some cash!

You with me so far? Okay, now I know what you're thinking, but this could be a great gimmick, you know? We're not the Wet Bandits anymore! This is bigger than that. This is even bigger than the Sticky Bandits! You know what we are? We're...

We're the Wank Bandits now!

...What? You don't think Harry's gonna like it?

skeletalgrin

Miss Mundane,

Likewise with the year before and the one before that, allow me to wish you (and everyone!) a very Merry Christmas!! How fortunate for all of us for still standing here, celebrating and having fun despite the strange news about the whole world ending!

And may I add that I am also very grateful that you still keep me close to your beating heart, regardless of the fact that neither of us have been in any games as of late.

Once again, merry Christmas Miss Mundane! And have a happy new year!

talking_dead

Uhh...yeah, as much as you find it funny or exciting, I don't think it'd be a very good idea for people from back home to wind up in the city. For all I know, they'll be blaming ME about being stuck in a war, and I don't need them telling everyone that I'm crazy or a freak. I've got a few friends here that I'd actually like to keep, okay?

("What about Neil?")

...He-- umm... [Wow, this is a hard question.] I'd like to see him, b-but I think it's better if he...didn't come. That last battle was really bad...

("...Well I still want him around. :B And everyone else too.")

W-what? Are you even listening to me then?!

savespeople

So if I am hearing you correctly, it took watching some ridiculous fan's musical to... bring me to life, or whatever it was that you said?

I'm not flattered, by the way. You know me, I like a quiet life. This is not going along with that, mun-person.

You really should stop what you're doing, because I won't go. Do you hear me? I won't go.

bloodiedchain

Oh, so now you want to do something with me?! How long were you gonna make me wait, hmmm?

[ Tapping her hand against her side impatiently. ]

Tch, whatever. I'm not scared of whatever you've got planned for me. You can't scare me after what I've--

... wait, you're giving me to Oz as a Christmas present?!

[ Beat. ]

... what are you planning.

noblesteed

Lady Mundane, though I am honored you would choose such a day as this for my new creation in this valiant space, it is at a poor time which I have been taken from where I was first created to be and live and fight. And, should it come to be in our battles ahead, die. As holy a day as today makes me bow my head in gratitude for having come to be.

In that same nature, Lady, it is with good will with which I implore you return me to the lands which the great, true Aslan has chosen for my living. A Holiday as this is joyous, but for me there should be no such cause for joy or celebration. For Narnia has fallen, and you know this well. My King is in need.

precincts

You know, you might wanna reconsider some parts of your life if it's me you're stuck with for most of your Christmas afternoon. Or at least consider if this is going to be a permanent thing or you're just gonna shelf me. A little consistency in your life wouldn't be such a bad wrap, you know.

futurefightingrobot

[Ruby-Spears X is just sitting quietly, enjoying a mug of hot cocoa, contemplating the mysteries of the universe. What, you didn't think he was that far removed from game-canon X, did you?]

It's the best one I've had in a while, and it's not that different from any Christmas I remember. Maybe a little less commercialism in this era, but I hardly watch any television anyway.

[And he just kinda sliiiiides further into the recliner he's commandeered for the day.]

It's nice. Merry Christmas indeed, to you, and to everyone.

alderaanda

What was wrong with the username I use?

['Seeker' was taken, Tash. We use this part of the Internet a lot more heavily than your part of the Holonet-]

-as far as you can tell. But I have another one, you know. Searcher1?

[Yeah, but sticking numbers on the end of taken words just looks tacky. Besides-]

-it's a pun? It's not 'me', though. This would fit Zak as much as me, or any other Arrandas from Alderaan. ...There'd have to be some left, even if they're not related to us.

[Stop finishing my sentences! It's not something-]

-I could really do in a game. Yeah, I figured that out. But look, we have to talk about that. I guess I could go somewhere without my brother, but there's other concerns too that I don't think you really thought about.

And I think you'll have to do that later, because now, you need to canon review more. Study, mun!

carefreeking

Aah~ You really took a liking to me quick Mun-chan! But you seem pretty forgetful....

Oh! How about we finish up my icons and then take a break?

trickd

Are we making this happen again?

Are you not going to wimp out on me again? Cm'on, we had good times. Have a little more confidence, will you? It'll be okay.

redhairedislandgirl

Why would you

why would you even

make me read that, mun

I thought things were okay between us, you and I.

then you made me read puppy porn.

I don't want to play this game anymore! I just want to go home and indulge in things not even related to animals. I am never ever talking to Goofy again ever.

good_breakfast

[Excuse Hope as he flails while listening to this.]

S-stop laughing! It's not me singing that song, just the guy who does my voice!

....no, that is not the same thing! Just... stop taking that show so seriously, you don't even watch it! Just because the people who do the voices for Xion and I are both in it, and just because those characters are kind of...

J-just, go back to playing your new games okay?

bowtying

Right. Yes. Hello again. [ His expression is solemn — eyes just a bit more exhausted than usual. His hands are in his pockets, and he appears far less than his typically jovial self. ] Remembered me, did you? [ He raises his chin, sizing up the state of things with those tired eyes. It's unsure if he finds this one way or the other. The corners of his mouth crease in the echo of a Time Lord's smile. ] Cutting it a little close, I see.

Well, — [ The Doctor waves a hand idly. ] I've told you. I don't do this. Not any longer. [ He holds them both up this time, palms out. ] I know, I know. You're excited. You're — ready for a new start. If we do this — If we try again, you'll have to promise me something. It isn't much. Well, that's a lie. It is — much. It's quite a bit much. But the point is, ... if we do this again, if we make this very quite a bit much of a leap again — Do me the favour of staying.

You can keep up. Well, except for that time with the Daleks. Oh, and there was that instance where we — The point is, we'll need that where we're going. [ He relaxes his shoulders, having bounced back into his usual get-up again. The one that reminds most of a certain yippy stuffed Tiger. He opens up the TARDIS door, quirking a single brow. ] What are we waiting for, then? [ His brow escalates and his eyes widen, as he says quietly ] Geronimo.

ibarakasen

Stop. Now, please, Mundane, before this gets worse.

I don't want anything going the way you want it to go; I don't want to repeat anything, nor do I want to utterly ruin anything. I just want things... normal. Before I get so tired I can't respond to even the most violent of your prodding. I'm fine where damage is already done with no chance of being repaired, that's at least stable. But don't blast anything more to pieces.

You have worse destructive tendencies than any oni I've ever met.

brigading

You.

( Haruhi glares directly at her mundane, giving the evil eye. )

You haven't been focusing on me lately at all, have you? To you, it's all "but I have homework to do" or "I haven't roleplayed in ages"! ( There's a sigh before she continues. ) Excuses, excuses.

Sure, you haven't played in a while, but that means nothing! You made my account, right? And you even said it yourself: "I want to play Haruhi this time." After all, you didn't do all that well with your other stupid muses. Besides, I'm more important than all of those people combined, right?

So just find me a place to go to and get a move on already!

( And she ends her rant with a huff. )

thewhitepawn

You over-think your actions to a point beyond simple second-guessing, you know. It's alright to be nervous, really it is, but there comes a point when you need to just remain calm and wait.

For what it's worth, I'm flattered in your interest, I really am. Unfortunately I can't just ...head off somewhere, like you wish, not right now. There's so much work to do and I don't know what would happen if I wasn't there ~~or how my father would react...~~ I have so much to do, yet, so please understand.

Even if my words fall on deaf ears, I hope you take to heart the part about not second-guessing, alright? Oh, and happy Winter veil, though I suppose you would call it something else, wouldn't you?

Take care.

ub001

You seem nervous.

Don't be. You can't do anything if you don't loosen up.

Now, [ She stretches. ] Shall we?

queenoftherock

Oh, just great. Now you decide is a good time to actually go through with this plan, instead of earlier. You're extremely punctual when it comes to your stuff. [Said oh so sarcastically.]

But, you know, I really don't appreciate the fact that if I go somewhere, which, if we do, I'd like you to make it just a little bit final or at least clearer, that you're going to have me me go in injured.

You're such a sweetheart, mun.

By the way... I guess it wouldn't be so bad knowing others who can actually be competent with a bow and arrow wherever I go. [Look at that winning grin on his face.]

almost_remember

Thank you so much for thinking about me, Mun. Is that really your name? Huh and I thought being an orphan was bad. Anyway, as I was saying...

I have more than enough on my plate without taking on whatever roles you have in mind for me. Though I don't really mind it. It's just... [She shakes her head emphatically.] Never mind. I think you know my answer and, in case you missed the point entirely, my answer is...

No.

medicalhell

Dear mun,

Well deck the halls with balls of 'I don't give a crap'. So you wait until Christmas day to drag me back out from the depths of smutty fanfics, pairings, sex games, and ships, well whoopie! Looks like someone is going down with this ship.

And just tell me mun, what have you accomplished so far this year or month that would even matter having me talk about? Oh nothing aside from pestering Spidey-boy a few times and well having to deal with your 'Marie Antoinette' feels.

( he pauses a bit and sits up from his chair and stretches. )

Oh well will you look at the time, I have places to be and placed to go. Unlike you, I actually have a life and a partner whom I refuse to name at the moment in fear of being attacked by all the fangirls who ship me with Dorian. Oh and by the way, Happy Holidays.

burningup

So, you wanna play with me, huh? Just be sure you can take the heat. Wouldn't want ya getting burned now, would we?

And find me something fun to do, man! I ain't gonna sit around like the rest of these fools. You got another thing coming if you think I am.

stuckonamountain

This is great!

I mean, the icons could be better, but I get it. Limited resources.

Do you know how terrific it would be to finally get down from that mountain? After 26,000 years? And you've even got a couple of friends lined up for me. A shapeshifter? The Sun?!

Oh, I'm not worried about what will happen if you bring me down from the sky. People don't need the North Star anymore. They've got compasses now. Besides, I'm pretty sure the polestar changes every 25,770 years. So...um. [North Star started her second cycle in 1470. 24,300 years to go.] ...It's not like you guys have long to wait.

Seriously! So cool!

Maybe there will be mountains to climb at this new place, too...

Well, I'm not entirely sure this is a good idea...

But it can't hurt, can it?

So you think you could just drop me off in some deserted old town, take me out and now you’re considering putting me in some spaceship. Never!

Current Mood: cranky

uphold

You really seem to enjoy testing me, don't you? You know what they say about the third time being the charm? It's not true.

[ A huff. ]

The second time was pretty good. I mean... it didn't totally suck! But bringing me back again a third time's just overkill! I'm sick of it, give it a rest will ya?

Jeez...

[ Someone's feelings are mixed... ]

deaaath

Perhaps it was too much to hope that I would be left in peace.

[you might have peace a little while longer? I have to reread the books and make icons for you. ...after the insanity that is my job for the next few weeks.]

You're concerned with...tiny portraits and the history of my world and my people, but I would wish you...honor me in some other fashion. (I am not your king, why do you mourn me?)

[uh. who says you need to be my-- never mind. wouldn't it be great to see Eomer, Eowyn? Merry?]

...Would that I could see them again. My time is over, and I have accepted that. Leave me, I beg you. I have no wish to leave the company of my forefathers when there is little point or need. Do whatever you must to forget me.

soyoudonthaveto

This changes nothing.

I'm serious. This changes nothing!

I'm still stuck in your head. Your still far from progress on your little "creative projects".

And I'm off to the FUCKING SHADOW GAMES BECAUSE OF YOU!

That said...

(now suddenly overjoyed)

CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

ancestralhero

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the usual deal that we try to convince you to keep us away from these games? Your face says enough. And if that really is the case... then why are you recoiling in horror at the idea of putting me in a game?

It could be useful! They always have perks, don't they? I need as many of those as I can get, and I'll deal with the downsides. Herinn even agrees! [ Rustle-rustle-jingle goes the feather laced with a leather necklace-cord. ] Ganondorf and Sulfryn don't have forever. But you... oh, I get it. It's work. You're being lazy.

All right, have it your way. This isn't the last you'll hear of it.

hisfaithful

You've been ignoring me.

I don't like being ignored.

[A touch of menace? Surely not from her.]

saving_sound

Mun-san...? Is it really that exciting for people to be jumping through the window? It looks really dangerous!

I think we have issues.
