Dec. 29th, 2012

( cut for courier )

I knew ya couldn't keep me in there for long. After all, I'm too cute to be in some dark box! So, anything ya got planned for me?

[Not...really...]

Whaddya mean "not really"?! Oh come on munny mun, pleeeeaaaase? I don't wanna sit here and wait around until you decide something!

birth_of_fire

Tonight the Reserves open! Tonight my mun gets to put up my application, which she finished a few WEEKS ago! I am thrilled. I want to dance and sing and be joyous. But sadly, I have to wait another hour for this. So, here I sit waiting anxiously for life.

Current Mood: excited

[Gives Mun a judging look for not planning to watch Godzilla vs. Biollante first.

Not that Godzilla cared or anything.

Still, he will judge the Mun.]

savioress

Taking two days off from tags isn't going to kill you. Especially when you were sick and somewhat recovering until now.

Go to sleep, already. Forcing yourself to do tags now isn't going to help you any.

alwaysataclimax

Bah, don't you even start on "missin' playing me" in games. I ain't having that crap again, not after all you did to me last time! I'd rather die of boredom than risk that kinda stuff again! You can just turn around and go right back to what you were doin', jackass.

getdownfromthere

You there!

Stop encouraging people to climb on the roofs! Is there something wrong with using the streets like good law-abiding citizens?

velvetpassenger

ShutupyoustupididiotIhateyou!

What took you so long to let me out of your head? You were probably slacking off, huh? Or you were playing around, you playgirl. Think about me more often, already. All I do is sit and wait for you to look my way.

Not that I care if you do or not. I just don't want to get bored.

not_a_martian

Well look who finally decided to dust me off.

Yes, yes, yes, just because you managed to fool half a dozen or so perfectly intelligent players (and three times as many characters) in my home game doesn't necessarily mean you'll be able to pull it off again here.

It'll sure be fun to find out, though.

(I do have to complain about the change of venue, though; from a position in good standing with New York's Finest to Florida? Really? You'd better not make me a Vice cop.)

sarashi

Oi. Can'tcha just leave me alone for a while? It's startin' to become a pain that every time you wind up watchin' that anime you have to drag me out here fer no good reason. I've already got a lotta other stuff t'deal with!

Get over it. Go pester that crossdressin' pervert you have runnin' around up here.

--No, I don't mean me, you asshole! I ain't a pervert!

sugarpills

Okay. Can you just, cool it for a minute, please?

Does it really matter if we're not being looked at? It's not like I'm a well-known celebrity or anything. And you just posted that today. Give yourself a chance; it hasn't even been a day yet. And in regards to people not responding to anything you've been saying offline here, can you really blame them? You've been whining. Constantly. All day. And it's....oh great, it's four in the morning. Do you really expect to get a reply now?

And I've already told you- I don't like games. I'll be honest- I really don't like the idea of being sent to some spaceship with a breathing tube jammed down my throat, and I really don't like the idea of sailing on some rusty boat and playing explorer. I have things to do, other than play games. Like I have to go to work in the morning, for one.

...No no, no. We are not sending applications to both. So, the chances of you not getting in are pretty high. But what happens if you do get accepted? Into both?

Look. Let's just sleep on it, and look into it more tomorrow, alright?

ghostofthesparklelizards

Dear Mun,

Yes, thank you for reminding me of my old issues. I'm quite glad I got to develop out of that whole stepford smiling thing.

...okay, MOSTLY develop out of that, but at least I vent!

You should finish that reapp though. You know how some of those guys are. I swear some of them wouldn't know a good vent if they were crawling through air ducts.

Eh, yeah, that sounded kind of weird, but you get my point.

And stop being giddy about possibly getting a Vlad! I mean, sure, there were things I wanted to say-no! No, it's been five years! And I don't want people to die! I mean, sure, he comes back in Thusia, but he'd be separated from-

From...

...

Oh, whatever!

Wasn't I clear enough. . . ?

I don't care when you sleep.

I don't care what you thought at the end.

I don't care.

Nothing's suddenly going to become more interesting in here just because you're waiting for it.

deusrexmachina

So let's review, mun...

You've screwed things up so badly this time that not only am I confused, but you're confused, too. You thought you had everything - including me and my relationships with two girls - figured out.

But you didn't and you still don't.

Look, at this point, somebody's feelings are probably going to get hurt and you know who I'm gonna blame? You. You had to go and do things like get me assaulted with flying mistletoe to force what you thought were going to be "hilariously awkward lip locking moments." Yeah, well, good job. They were awkward. One way more than the other because of all my ex-girlfriend issues.

Seriously, how about you stop messing with things and leave my love life alone? Just let me try to figure this out on my own, okay?

PS: Your plurk display name is just plain wrong. Knock it off.

heartytrouble

This is good for a lark isnt it? Things sure are going to get confusing though. Im not the only jake in town.

And i do mean literally in the place we all live in not some quaint figure of speech that calls to mind a louis lamour film and vying for the sheriffs post in the town square or summat. Though i wouldnt turn him down for a duel or a bit of friendly competition if its true what they say about his moves with a pistol!

I digress. As i was saying there are two of us jakes and then two jacks on top of that and how anyone is going to sort us all out one from another i dont know. Still it should all be a trip. Have you SEEN those mountains? Maybe ill be the first to entice them to spill all their secrets haha.

I guess dirk is going to be there isnt he? I know you wont let me avoid him but i think you should at least acknowledge that im not doing it to hurt his feelings. I just wanted my shit sorted out before i opened my mouth you know? Especially after all the times ive put my foot in my mouth with janey. Though whats even the point of saying that i dont want to say anything when hes just going to see that i said it. Blast this public forum!

batterthanyou

Yo, mun. Do you have any idea how bored I've been? You haven't let me fracture a single skull here, let alone kill something, so what the fuck am I supposed to do? Free beer only entertains me for so long.

...

Ugg, fine. I guess I'll just have to do all the work myself and think of something. [And after a brief pauses of glorious silence...] I know, how about we check out how fucking dead this series has gotten? I'm curious as how many people play who, if only to see which assholes have good taste and which ones are tasteless. Actually, don't answer that. I don't give a fuck what you think, so let's get this shit started!

Let's see...there's about four Douchedowns, one of his killjoy brother, a Maggie, two Twilights, three Shinobu, two Hollys, two of that crazy yandere bitch, and about four of me. Now, those may seem like pretty good numbers...until you fucking realize something: how many of these dickwards are actually, ya know, active. There's me obviously, Travis, his bro, and...a Shinobu. That's pretty much it. So that's...what...four outta nineteen?

...I'm obviously too drunk to be doing math.

vorax

You and your whims. I ought to chastise you, but really, who am I to judge? And it's not as though I'd get any message across. I've spent enough time in your head to know that's the sort of thing you like.

But honestly, I'm in no rush. When you reach my age... whatever age that may be, I lost track like a millennium ago... Yes, you learn how to be patient. There are delights rattling about your skull to keep me entertained. Although it would be nice to see some new faces. Meet individuals more receptive to my winning nature.

anoldfriend

I do believe there was an arrangement to all this. I get to travel the worlds, and you get to sit back and enjoy the sights. But I've hardly traveled at all. I would quite like this to be remedied.

andalasian

Of course a person of low status and importance like you will choose someone like me, mundane! Whatever that word means. I will oblige you for now, for surely this is how I will find my Giselle - my one coquette, the answer to my love's duet.

Oh Giselle!

her_kindness

You mean....either I am taken to a place where I can find one of my friends, or I am DEAD in some place I don't know where?!

But how...no! You....No! Please no! Please don't do this! No! No!!!!

Okay...I'll do what you want...just don't kill me!

[Cowers before mundane and just cries.]

atadbiased

Hold it!

You know I have better things to do, right? I've got my second independent study, and of course my video blogs, and keeping Lydia out of trouble, so I can't possibly make time to actually go through with this little plan of yours.

You should also be going to work instead sitting here on the internet.

transcribes

[Spike just... has his claws over his face.]

It's so embarrassing watching all that from the outside... ( Spoilers for the most recent episode, Spike at Your Service. )

Current Mood: embarrassed

confusedloyalty

So you have found yourself suddenly without a directive to follow and decided, that in this time between now and potentially getting rehired at the end of the month, that I need to get out more. You're the one who wrote me into a cozy prison with the users, not my fault I only see four walls and the face of whoever has watch duty.

You're especially not sending me anywhere where I'll have to deal with programs and users that come from a different system. Especially not while I'm still bound or have no actual capabilities to change the game to my advantage.

2cool4guardian

So the ship has no weather, huh? Then I can make it winter all year long! Fantastic. I'll teach those aliens kids the magic of snow days, too. Children with extra arms will make snowball fights more challenging.

By the way, that whole conversation you had with your friend about giving me a Pokémon? I know you were joking, mun, but I think it's a good idea. North has the yetis, Tooth has the little fairies, and Bunny has those egg-totems things. Why can't I have an army of ice breathing bears?

malevolentmechamorph

So, you've watched the show, played the game, and now you believe you can be my "voice tester", eh? Sorry to disappoint, but I've much grander plans than being your mundane little puppet. Begone.

Current Mood: annoyed

igotaguy

Hey mun,

I hear you get free booze in this place? Ok, I'll bite. I mean, the whole situation seems a bit tricky if you ask me, but no Colombian dictators or secret agencies interested in killing you, so that's a plus.

However, I have to lodge a couple of complaints here before you get started.

-More icons. No icons of me drinking? There oughta be a law about that. Now I know you can do better than this collection. Don't BS me.

-You haven't watched an episode of burn notice for like, two months. How else will you possibly get a grasp of my genius?

Don't really expect you to listen - like no one ever listens to little ol' Sam unless they need something - but you know, keep trying and all that.

thanks,
c.f.

PS: Where's my good journal name? Taken? Come on.

Well, if you really are determined to learn a new skill you know, of course, my opinion. You could go for something safe, or actually be interesting in whatever skill you decide on. [And there's a pause.] It's not my fault that it's too far away or too expensive or too...mundane. There's only so much I can do.

If you can't decide on what to do, why not flip a coin?

alltostopentities

Congratulations, you've created the first bare layout of your apocalyptic scenario.

You intend to bring, from my past, beings that should never have been in the first place.

I have no intent of allowing you to go any further with this, Mundane. Even if it does restore my power.

[ooc: So yeah, long story short, I've created the first part of what would be my RP <user name=pti_rpg>... And I have no idea where to advertise to get people to help me with specifics.]

plagiary

Now sweetheart, don't be rash. You've seen what rushing in does. [ Like Cobb and most of his ideas, the bloody oaf. Still not over it. ] Gently does it. I know you miss having me about to lighten up your life but we don't want to crash and burn again, do we?

... Arthur would never let us live it down.

So for the first time in my long and illustrious life, I'm going to tell you to follow his lead for once. Wait it out, assess, see what happens. Besides, if you really are planning to let that muzzle wearing lunatic and the very gorgeous little gangster in here, you might run out of steam for me. Bear in mind I'm the classier option.

euphrasie

You let Mlle. Musichetta influence you far too much, what with her impulsiveness and all.

I do not need a "modernized" account as well, do I? I much prefer to exist in my own time, and -- I do fear for your health, Mlle. Mun. [ she taps her temples. ] Your head would ache to try to align our lives with your own time period!

I beg of you, rest. Please. (Perhaps a break from the novel would do you some good.)

hotredhero

Oh, look who it is. You don't even bother to say Merry Christmas anymore.

How was the movie? No, don't tell me. People dressed in really outdated styles all singing sad songs. Yeah, how is that more fun than me again?

Can I just say we don't need you adding anyone else to your list of volunteers? Because it's already pretty cramped, and I like to have my space. It's bad enough you have him around. He's just boring.

You know what I'd do? Watch my movies. Stop looking at everyone else and let's get back in business here.

Don't look at me like that. I'm not taking up all of your time. I just have more needs than they do.

bootsandboys

Do you really think this is a good idea, mundane? Because I don't think you can handle this. I am one hell of a handful. Just ask anyone.

At any rate, you'd better do something with me, and quick. I get bored very easily, you know. And there is nobody in your headspace that's interesting enough to keep me entertained. Even that Katherine girl will bore me eventually.

Look, just give me some tequila and I'll try not to turn anybody into furniture.

aloadeddie

I didn't sign on for this "get me drunk" plan. There are reasons I don't get drunk. And yeah, okay, some of them might involve Eames, but most are completely reasonable.

And I'll flirt with who I want. If I like redheads, that's my business. It doesn't mean anything.

yamaxanadu

Though I understand my presence could be beneficial, I am hesitant to agree that it would be a good place to be. I fear it sounds like an environment where I might lose my patience quicker than I would like. Being pulled into the middle of things makes keeping a neutral stance difficult.

tastestherainbow

are you sure about this
dont answer that i dont think i would enjoy the answer
playing me from two different points in canon is going to be difficult
you can hardly remember what you have eaten for breakfast
ok no that wasnt an invitation to
please stop
no just
i dont actually care what you ate
it was a figure of speech
also why would you eat that first thing in the morning
you should have something more wow what am i doing

anyway
keeping two timelines distinct isnt exactly easy
and frankly it is giving me a headache considering i am from both simultaneously while here
trying to reconcile the contradictions is making my head spin
knowing and not knowing things at the same time and having distinctly different feelings about the same people
liking and disliking the same things at the same time
see i am already having trouble keeping track of what is what
maybe you should reconsider this

what no dont
dont mention that
that is not a thing i dont want its just
that it will cause people more grief and
you just do not care
ok

at least i wont feel like an outsider in this new place
that is a thing i guess

scarred_past

[Looks at the subject line]

Wasn't that the plan all along? You made this journal on a whim. You never intended to play me anywhere. Besides, you would need to do some serious canon review before you could even consider an application. I don't think you have what it takes.

And, no, that is NOT a challenge.

no1canbreakyou

I was wondering when you'd get back into the flow of things. I didn't care myself, but there are a few characters here that have been waiting for you, I'm sure you know.

But did you really have to throw me back in with... that thread? Hmph. You're always going to be like this, I don't know why I try to believe differently.

what4thwall

That was a great episode today, mun, but it never answered the most important question!

( minor spoilers... )

valored

I am glad you chose to name this for one of my strengths in life and not in reference to the place of my burial. It is indeed a great honor to have such a place remembered by Men and Elves alike, but I am much more pleased to have a few paragraphs in the history books telling of my deeds and the moving of my people. If we are to be remembered in lore, let it be for our determination and endurance.

willas_tyrell

I'm not going to lie, mundane. I'm not overly thrilled about my house's recent alliance. King Joffrey worries me deeply. He is cruel, vicious, rash, ... stupid. No good can come of his rule, for the people, nor the realm.

I suppose although I am heir, my father has the final say in what we do.

[Taps his walking stick on the ground in annoyance, and the gold inlaid ebony makes a resounding crack.]

It doesn't mean I have to like it though. You know, now that I think of it, people are making a lot of decisions for me that I'd rather they wouldn't. Grandmother seems set to marry me off. I believe her latest attempt at a match is Sansa Stark.

["Oh Really?"]

Stop looking at me like that. I'm sure she's a lovely girl, but I've never even met her. Beyond that, it has never felt right to me that people are commanded in to marriages, men or women. Yes, it sometimes works out, and it can be a valuable political tool, if you have no scruples ... But it seems a cruel and unusual punishment to be married to someone you don't know, much less love, doesn't it?

lettherebelightman

Now, I don't mean to be skeptical. You're making good headway on your tags, don't get me wrong.

Thing is, love. We both know you can't keep this up.

--that right there? Disappointment. Where it shouldn't be. Anxiety.

You can't bring yourself to write most of this. That's alright--same way with my book. Baggage.

And that's exactly why you can't keep this up. Best to keep to your fantasy-types. Bit out of your range.

[ a beat. ]

Well. Off you go. Schoolwork to do.

kingofnightmares

While I don't mind this idea... I'm not looking forward to the aftermath. I'm sick of running away with my tail between my legs.

However, the change in my living arrangements are adequate. Underground tunnels and all. It's similar to my lair. Just needs a little sprucing up and I should feel right at home in Nautilus. They'll know of my name in due time. It might not be earth, but it's where I reside now.

I won't be forgotten this time.

temperm

I may be in no place to speak, but I don't think this is the best choice!

[Slamming a heavily tabbed and bookmarked notebook on the table.]

I've researched many of these games and found that a majority of them have a much higher survival rate than that city. From these reports, multiple deaths are common and most of them are by outlaws that are never punished! More to the point, these people have powers that go beyond any hijutsus and there's no structure what so ever. Raiko-san isn't there- Are you trying to kill me?

[His expression softens to a downcast look.]

...I want to do something for them, but I don't think I can.

plainlyobvious

This is Alia, and I'll be your navigator for today Player! Before we start I will instruct you on how to RP--that's short for "roleplaying".

First you must place your mouse cursor into the comment box. Like the one we're currently using. Then, you can use your keyboard to type in a response! Remember to check for grammar mistakes or typos before you use your mouse to click on the "post comment" button-

[SCREAMS where's the off button!? Why couldn't have Alia been from X8-]

Wonderful! It looks like you are getting the hang of this already, Player! Alright, now get ready for the next segment.

tad_overkill

You're really sure about this aren't you?

[Gives a shrug] Very well, let's see how this goes. The others will be there right?

Good, because I would like seeing them again.

scientistically

Mundane.

I find this highly irregular. I have items that I have yet to fill, the children need tending to and I believe that the Riku clone is almost ready, save a few adjustments.

I have Sora's examination to attend and I must ensure Roxas is progressing on schedule lest he fall behind again. Xion's genetics need correction yet again though I'm not convinced it's worth the effort. We have enough collected DNA for another. Perhaps a dissection of the failed product is in order? [A wave of his hand though. It's not important.] The clone is more trouble than it's worth given it's repeated failings and dare I say Xemans is proving more trouble than he'd worth. No surprise, given who his original was.

As you are no doubt aware, I have little time for the idle chatter you seem so intent of having me partake, let alone the benefit of talking to others when I have a multitude of experiments to conduct.

hunterofpeace

Remember, no matter what you hear about me, I'm really just the hunter of peace, chasing the mayfly known as love.

Hey, it's not nice to laugh at a man's ideals, you know. What, you're still laughing?

Okay, okay. Then how about if I use my catch phrase? Everybody with me now! LOVE AND PEACE! LOVE AND...!

oakenshield

[ It's not very often that concern lingers long within Thorin's gaze, at least not around the company of others. But he certainly does wear his concern for all to see as he regards his scribe with a pondering gaze. Typically the two rarely get along. He believes her to be too commanding and impish, and she believes him to be rather...forceful. Yet for this time and this time only, the two may have come to a brief understanding. ]

Fear not, scribe. [ Despite the usual harshness of his tone, Thorin's words are quite gentle. ] We both may not know what fate lies ahead, but we mustn't allow fear to overtake us. Stand strong and be firm, never allow yourself to dawdle in pity. It's quite unbecoming.

[ He sighs deeply. ]

The burden you carry doesn't have to be carried alone. There's many who would easily shoulder your burdens, those who could help uplift you in this time of need. You need to ask and they'll come to you.

[ Just then something his mun mentioned about twelve dwarves and one hobbit caused the King Under the Mountain to chuckle. ]

Aye, I should follow my own advice.

swordinhand

I am quite glad that you have decided to try your hand with me once again. It has been quite a long time you let me out, has it not? Not that I resent you for that, you needed take time away from all this.

[She pauses and brings her hand to her chin, thinking over her next words which come out in a tactful but direct manner.]

Now that we find ourselves starting anew, perhaps I may request that you find us a game. Preferably one were my skills would be of use, you know I'm not the sort to sit patiently and let things happen.

But I would also ask you not rush into things too quickly...I know first hand the sort of things that can happen if one lets themselves get caught up in the moment. I do not want to rush into the first interesting game, only to find ourselves disappointed within a week. You must find a balance of determination and caution.

crafted_flame

Do you. . . Do you really think that it would be alright to go back? So much has changed these past two months, and I left without saying anything. I know that you can not help it that she left all of the sudden and gave your the journal, but no one else will think that.

The last thing that was posted for me in that game, there were so many waiting on replies that did not come. I know that you would be able to do it, you helped to write the application and occasionally did the tags as well when she asked, but it doesn't seem right.

Of course I would want the chance to make it right!

Does this mean that you will finish making icons from the rest of the series? You had stopped before since they would not have been used.

did_i_say_percy

Madame,

You're not going to send me to that sex game are you? I won't do it, I tell you. I'm much more stubborn than you are. Just ask my sister, and I'm sure she can beat up any goddess you send to kidnap me. If she can't, then Percy will rescue me.

What else would you want to do with me? Anything else, please? On the other hand, you can just put me right back up on the shelf while I finish learning how to drive a coach and four.

You've spent all day working on this journal, finding a new person to play me and making the journal all pretty, but now it's time to get serious. I don't mind waiting, you know. Go play with those other people.

No love,
Armand

PS Do you think fans of his Charlie Cox person will get mad at me for stealing his appearance?

PPS At least his pictures aren't blurry.

reiks

Ridicule all you wish, lady writer. But know that I have called many a craven onion-eyed bum-bailey before, and they were quite affronted by it indeed.

You've work to do, preparations to finish, so off you go. Remember your promise and keep it well.

ocd_reaper

That's low and you know it.

First of all, it's indecent. She has a boyfriend for Father's sake! She seems like she'd make a good friend. Why would I want to make it awkward?

Second, she's human. That means barring disaster or the end of the world, I'll outlive her not just by years but by centuries if not millennia! I know that in Nautilus the same problem doesn't exist, but it's still going to be lingering in the back of my mind and you know it!

Stop snickering and pay attention to me!

petitegamin

Alright mun? You ain't fought this frough proper like, 'ave you?

You've read that Brick thing. You know me life would be different if I was a girl. But ... eh, alright then.

So what's there to do around here, then?

dontevenknowyou

...seriously?

Aren't you supposed to be figuring out all of the people who are already in here? Why did you add me? And no, I'm not your type, I'm—

Okay, yeah. I'm your type.

[He squeezes his eyes shut, pinches the bridge of his nose. Why is it always him?]

itwillpass

Just thought you'd pick up and run with it? With me, I mean. Not to offend you, but this seems like a lot for a first commitment. I just don't want to waste anyone's time, is all.

You might have better luck going with one of the others. Have you tried Dakin? You'd complete the set if it all worked out.

galactic_geezer

Confused about this sudden influx of headspace activity, are we? Please, mundane, do refrain from attempting to fool yourself. You know as well as I do that none of us have ever truly "died"; we simply have been waiting for the right time and place to reawaken and partake in more shenanigans.

The place is now ready, while the time is, admittedly, still uncertain. But, no matter. Keep your priorities in check, and all shall proceed as planned!

... Hmm. Speaking of plans... do attempt to refresh your memory of those ideas from previous years. There may very well be an opportunity to put them into motion.

failedreintegration

You have a headache?

Good. No of course it's not unexpected. [So dismissive] You're not a Time Lord. You can't absorb that much information. For that matter, I'm not sorry in the slightest. You only made it worse glutting yourself with sugary sweets and other concoctions. You're doing a disservice to all of the parties involved! Sitting there babbling like an idiot about it. Posting funny pictures does not alleviate any tension at all! People don't think you're funny they probably think you've gone utterly mad!

[He looks a little sad.] Yes they are funny I must admit but the majority of it is not. It is...important. Very important. And of course you'll take this information because I need some sort of useless rehabilitation and then where will you be? Sympathy!

Oh no! No. I'm not going anywhere. And If you are so utterly dedicated to bringing others including that dog into our happy little headspace I won't even object. You bring this on yourself taking too much and trying to absorb far too much informat ...

[Remind you of anyone Andred/Torvald? Remind you of anyone?]

...The two instances are not the same. In the slightest.

all_onis_are_true

They're making a novel? About THAT? I... why the hell would they do that? I'd kind of like to FORGET about it, thank you!

...stop squealing, you sound like an idiot.

larker

Okay so you got most of it done, makes a change for you. Just let me reread this crap, because knowing you you missed out a few of my powers. Duh, remember? You're sending me to a place where I get to keep them all, and it's a very extensive list.

Wait, you mean I got to ditch the time loops? Aw c'mon! Time loops are the best form of fun. Right? Of course you agree, but you are too easily striking it off the list.

The fact you deleted that part with a grin shows what kind of person you are, mundane. At least I get to keep my powers and spend time in a game with burger-eating-attack-monkeys. Minus the time loops. You heathen.

pocketpicking

What? What d'you mean, "no?"

It's gettin' a little crowded in here, in case you didn't notice, and I've got no intentions of stayin' someplace where I can't do what I'm good at. And nothin's quite ripe for the taking, my dear. I'm sure you saw to that.

So you're expectin' me to strike up some kind of bargain? That it? [ eyeroll. ] And what about that husband of mine? Probably up and left, and you're just wantin' me to sit pretty.

Okay lass, lets come to an understanding here.

I'm a busy bunny! Now that North's season's finally done, I gotta get my tail in gear to get ready for Spring! For Easter! For my day! There's egg blooms to plant, paint to mix, and I'm beefing up the security in the Warrens since that whole Pitch incident, too. I got hundreds of thousands of miles of tunnels to inspect! I got work to do; I don't have time to go running off to some jellyjar or whatever you call it.

It's not that I don't appreciate your discerning tastes in selecting me, of course. But get any ideas of sending me off somewhere right outta that thick head of yours! I'll open a tunnel right under that computer of yours and see how well you do it!

I don't mind relaxing around here, don't get me wrong- it's plenty of good company. But you did have a bit of an idea, didn't you? I don't know much about this 'barge', but if you think it's a good fit, then I say go for it.

Unless you can come up with somewhere more ... grounded. Wouldn't mind that much, either.

Remind me, again, what it is you're expecting to accomplish with this?

Now... I'm not protesting. If you've got work for me to do, some sort of plan in mind, I'm open to discussing the options with you...

But from what I can tell, this is a whim, so I'd invite you to consider your alternatives in this case.

...

Don't waste my time.

If you're waiting for praise, you won't be getting it from me. What you do isn't so hard. Lest you forget, I've had my go at the typewriter too.

Find the Professor. Then I might be a bit more receptive to all of this.

Might.

My dear writer,

You have been portraying me for over a year now. Your voice is solid for me, and yet you hide behind a friendslock. Let us be frank with one another now. No use in lingering about with frivolous compliments that we both know aren't needed. I shall describe this in blunt points.

1) The book is not only thick, but filled with very small print. In this day and age, reading is unfortunately considered unfashionable. Not very many people have braved its pages. We must set the example and bring what you've learned from the book into the foray. People need not know of our existence, but they ought to hear our message.

2) Today's politics are just as important as yeterday's. You must garner each view from the spectrum. I know you are quick to anger at social injustice, but every point must be listened to and understood if you are to counter them. You must comprehend the opposition if you're to hold a debate. I may despise the views of the Ultras, but I try to understand them. Which leads into point three.

3) Invite others into these discussions. I am not here to hide who I am. I am not one to be contained. Our views must be shared with the world, especially when it's delivered in a country that thrives on the right to free speech. You have such a right. Employ it!

Let us not fear those of opposing viewpoints. Let us welcome them with civil discourse. I long to find the rest of my friends. I cannot do that under lock and key.

In any case, I'm glad to see that you've included Grantaire under said lock. The man has potential and no matter what, he deserves to be a part of this foray. Just as he should unlock his abilities, so should you unlock me of mine. Have faith in the people. They will do what is right.

I don't think I like talking to her very much, miss.

( She's really confusing and Spain isn't even sure if she's really who she says she is. )

I guess I was pretty stupid, huh?

I should have known better. There were enough signs.

Hell. People even warned you about his mun.

I just...

Maybe I should stay alone? Like seeing everyone once in a while would be nice and I know you're not gonna stuff me in a box or whatever...

But I...

I think we have issues.
