So then...I have a younger sister? That's interesting. I'm glad you have everything figured out now too. She's had more adventures than I have hasn't she? I'm not jealous. I have things she doesn't too after all. And yes I very much would like to meet this Laura someday. I bet she's got some stories about Uncle Stinky as well.

It's not that I don't appreciate it, but some semblance of a plan might work better.

For you, not for me. I know how you are about longevity.

vesper_lynd

Oh would you show a little confidence? Stop fussing about it you're going to be fine. The game will be fine. Everything. will. be. fine. Also, I notice you're still waffling about what you want to use for these little "images" you enjoy creating so much. Honestly I will look like myself no matter what you use so long as you don't bleach my hair and force me into coloured contact lenses.

And for heavens sake drink more Orange Juice. I'm bloody tired of listening to you cough all day and night.

kidwithamap

Oh that's rich. Trade one universe rife with death and destruction for another. I've already got a place where I'm an endangered species, thanks. I don't really need to help it along.

What makes you think I'd want to agree to that? Seriously. On the list of bad ideas, I think that one's right near the top.

shyqualia

...Eh? You're already looking at games? Even though it hasn't been that long...

[ He flutters his arms. ] Oh, no! I'm very happy you're considering me. Really! It's just... the people in other worlds don't really know about Vanguard, do they? It'd be kind of lonely to play all by myself.

[ Seriously, cardgames are like his life stream, how would he deal. HOW WOULD HE LIVE. Being a shounen protag is suffering. ]

If only there were some sort of solution, huh?

heartofsteel

I really wanted to get that house. The one with the yard, you know, for Burton. I wonder if he really will grow to be as big as that one guy said?

...I guess I can't really be that mad at you. I already knew it was going to happen. No one lives forever.

when_turks_fly

You're a real piece of work, you know that?

[ It's more a statement than a question, one imbued with a definite degree of fondness and... well-earned exasperation, the sort only a mundane can properly draw out. ]

Don't get me wrong. I'm happy for the opportunity to stretch my legs after that impromptu vacation. It was nice and I'm excited to give this Johto-Kanto place another shot. Third time's the charm, right? I honestly think we're off to a pretty decent start, which isn't to say I don't have my concerns. I do. Your scheming is the biggest one and don't try to tell me you aren't up to something. We both know you are. You've fallen off the bed more than five times in under two weeks. That's a record for you. You're lucky there's carpet to break your fall or you'd have used a whole box of band-aids by now. Your enthusiasm, though refreshing, is concerning, but it won't shake me, not this time. I'm in this for the long haul, so you'd better sit down and buckle up. The road may get slick.

I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at with this tower place, though. Yes, I looked at it and no, I'm not about to feign surprise or indignation that you'd try to make it a second 'home' for me. We've been together five years. I know you and you know me well enough to know I've got concerns. I'm not going to happily go without any objections. I can handle monsters. I can handle hazardous missions and I can handle untrustworthy authority figures. That's in my regular job description. I can handle anything you throw at me, but the destruction of a world isn't something I want hanging over my head, let alone of the world I've only just been introduced to. I'm not okay with that.

[ She really, really isn't okay with that and the very brief, uncomfortable pause might just give that away. She picks right back up, though. ]

Look, I'm not asking you to promise me anything. Once you get started, it's like trying to stop a behemoth. You get your heart set on something. You charge, you run clean through a wall that's vaguely shaped like the story of my life, and I'm left to sweep up the pieces using a metaphorical broom and dustpan. My sweeping skills, metaphorical and literal, are unrivaled for this reason, but that's besides the point. What I want you to do is take things reasonably slow. It's my understanding that you plan to, albeit probably for nefarious reasons. I'm not sure I'm okay with that, but I'll take it over your ripping another whole through space and time and tossing me through that with some immediacy.

For now, let's just focus on what's in front of us and have some fun, okay?

whiteblackknight

...

You're going to what when I what?

*Sigh* Well, if you say so. And I said I would help you in any way I could, 100% of the time, all of the time. Even so, this was inevitable. It was my fight even before I ever met you, mun. This is just another battle. It won't be the first nor will it be the last. So I'll stay true all the way to the very end. And I'll give it my all.

...

Seriously, stop shipping me with that one Kurono girl, too. Pretty sure she's getting sick of it, too. The yelling gave it away, in case you were wondering, mundane.

anoldfriend

( Spoilers are likely )

silentsoldier

Mundane, is it? Are you sure this is wise? It's been ages since you've even dove into my story and yet, here I am. Stuck in that head of yours.

[Sigh.]

Clearly I cannot stop you. All I ask is that is that you get your facts straight before you go off and do something we'll both regret.

backseatdriver

Are you really ready to dust off this old "muse" and let him have a day in the sun? [ a beat ] It would be nice to go somewhere quiet, if I have to go anywhere at all. Don't you think?

single white male

What do you think? Too catty?

eradicopter

I – I can't believe you went through with this, mundane. You know I hate being in the spotlight like this. It's bad for my health. Very, very bad for my health. You saw what happened to Steve. That could happen to me. Not that exactly of course; I'm not a car. But you know what I mean! If it isn't Megatron, it's one of the Autobots.

Just. What, memes? I don't know. Okay. Fine. So long as you swear you won't try any games. Not like you could make me go, but I really don't want to have that conversation.

I mean it.

I feel sick.

espio

As interesting as me quitting the game's setting is turning out - can't believe you actually let me do that, by the way - you should get to sleep.

And then you can figure out what I'm supposed to do now. Invisibility or not, I don't think I can get away with hiding in Toby's room forever. And I can't exactly turn to Zabala and say, hey, can I have my job back.

capndeathstroke

You are a fool.

To think for a moment you would have success at wielding me. A weapon in the hands of a fool is useless no matter how perfectly forged or maintained.

As I recall the last time our minds met it was disappointing. You remember those feelings of inadequacy. You are but a child trying to see the world through a mans eyes.

You have the power to force this issue. But you don't have the willpower. You never did and you never will.

Know that if you do in fact enroll me in this world of bloodsport and conspiracy I will not participate for you, but for me. And you might not like just what that means for all involved.

Go back to your Teen heroes and mindless monsters. Let the grown ups continue taking care of business.

differentsideofmyself

Hey, mun. You do realize that application isn't going to rewrite itself, right? Try to get on it before the last minute so we don't have a repeat of throwing shit together like your last attempt. We both know you weren't happy with what you turned in. It's not really a shock you got rejected.

I'm not an easy character, and you've got a lot of ground to cover. Get to work.

Then again, I should probably hope you don't cover that ground with how much of a horrible bitch you are to people in your head. You're like a slightly less vindictive version of Tex. And by that, I mean you don't usually bother with waiting for one of them to piss you off.

Bad enough you threw me at that Axios to voice test, after all. I mean, what the hell. One post in and I've got one guy threatening to break me into little pieces and toss me into space and another talking to me like I'm a cute fuzzy animal. What the fuck? I'm an AI. Not a puppy. I've killed a guy before.

Okay, that guy is the one that's threatening to break me into pieces, but big fucking deal.

dwightandclean

Okay. Look. I don't think we're on the same wave length here. I'm fine how I am, I don't need any help. Especially not his. So stop scheming. Just be happy someone else watches the show, ok?

And could you stop with the Meta-references? No one else gets them and it's a little weird to hear you laughing at yourself.

fotlenke

Respect is earned, Lady Mun. Goldilocks as yet to earn mine, so I do not see why I should give him my respect.

[ You're just going to go carve more statues of him out of wood and then burn them, aren't you? ]

Of course.

deusrexmachina

Fresh-out-of-canon me for this new place, huh? It's gonna suck leaving Earth behind, along with Holiday, Bobo, Noah and just about everyone and everything else. Plus, you know, reliable sources of food. Sure, it'll give me a break from curing EVOs and hunting down Meta Nanites, and hanging around giant robots is always a cool deal...but I don't think the pros are outweighing the cons, here. That's not even counting the fact that you want to do this and anything you wanna do is bad for me, like, ninety percent of the time.

I will give you this, though... If White Knight and I end up in two different areas of Haven, it's going to be hilarious.

squadsight

...You lost?! How the- why- you-

Rrrrgh! You idiot! You'd better find me somewhere to play, because otherwise, I'm beating some sense into your thick skull, you moronic mun! Tch.

troublefindsher

Y'know, it would be nice to see Cedric and the others again. But if you're just going to leave like you did last time, we might as well stay put. Let's make it work.

Oh, and I am not going back into that tower.

universalrecipient

So it's likely that my flow will be restricted in this city to some degree - but there should be chances to do as I please?

Well, it's certainly not as glorious as the League, but it will certainly be interesting. Draw up your plans, Summoner - I don't want you wasting any time when the chance to have me injected there opens up.

thelittlestbub

Dude, wait. What? A game? For me?

Oh, I know Magsy's mun is trying to talk you into taking Sabes to that one place. I mean, yeah, Mags needs Sabes there, so it makes sense.

But me?

... Oh. Wolvie's there. Okay. I'm totally going. Go write my history. NOW! I totally need to go bother him.

Man, me and Wolvie against an alternate dimension.

Mystique's not there, right?

... Okay, good. Then it's totally cool.

alsoatook

I- I beg your pardon? No. ...No. Risking my hide for dwarves is one thing, madame, but sending me off to some land unknown to me where there are, what... what did it say in the fine print? monsters. Yes, those. Well that is another thing entirely! And I do not mean to sound rude, and my apologies if I do- but you are no wizard or- or some fussy dwarf king to tell me what to do!

There will be no more unexpected journeys, quests, adventures or anything of that ilk for this humble halfling, oh no. Quiet feet and a knack for going unnoticed may be a gift of my kind, but if there are packs- you... you did remember reading this, yes? PACKS of SEVERAL kinds of- of monsters!? But if there are those lurking in the dark, hobbit or no... I will be found and eaten. I may no longer be in the spring of my youth, if you'll follow me, but death... being eaten is not something I am up for.

So put it right out of your head! Argue all you like, about my having a sword- Balin himself said it was more of a... a letter opener anyway. I hardly know how to use it! Monsters, I'd wager, know how to use their teeth and claws and whatever it is they use to kill a halfling with!

Tookishness aside, and again I beg your pardon for sounding rude... but I am not partaking on this particular adventure.

Thank you.

mjn_air

My dear Miss Writer, While I can appreciate the fact that you would like to play all of us from MJN Air, it quite defeats the purpose of how this entire "RP" works...

[Arthur Interrupts.] But Mum, I think it's a brilliant idea.

[And Douglas simply must get in on the action.] Yes, Arthur and what did you think of polar bears?

[Arthur grins.] BRILLIANT!

[Douglas continues.] And that Christmas we spent on the plane?

Brilliant!

And the Northern Lights that ended up not being the Northern Lights?

[Arthur thinks for a minute, starting to think Douglas is tricking him] Bril--liant?

[Douglas nods and says flatly.] I rest my case.

[Carolyn clears her throat.] AS I was saying. You should really simply make up your mind and pick one of us to play. And since I am the owner of this airline, it would only be right if you were to pick me as the primary character for this... this.... idea you have.

[Douglas smiles calmly.] Oh yes, she could pick you. But why would she do that when she could have me - someone who actually has something to do with the flying of the aeroplane.

[Arthur can't bare to not comment as he looks around.] Wait a minute - where's the Skipper?

[Douglas gestures to all the other "Martins" on the site.] Take your pick, Arthur.

[Carolyn rolls her eyes.] Will you two shut-UP I was having a perfectly polite conversation with the Writer before you all started to butt in!

[Douglas' tone suggest he's not sorry at all.] Oh, I am so very sorry, Carolyn. It's hardly my fault that I'm stuck up here with the two of you! Though we should be grateful there are so many other Martins about. Can you imagine the three of us trying to fit up here with the size of his massive ego?

[Carolyn chuckles and Arthur looks a bit lost without Martin.] But the Skipper, he's the Pilot.

[Douglas rolls his eyes.] As he will waste no time informing everyone. Look, Writer, you do what you like, we will find a way to make do...

((OOC: If you want to talk to all three, fine, if not, please specify. Anything to help me decide!))

cedricthesorcerer

Now listen 'ere Mundane.

I was under the impression you were going to do great things with me, Great things! And so far I've done a great load of nothing! You could at the very least allow me to retire back to my lair and continue my magical studies! How am I supposed to get me 'ands on that amulet of the princess' if I'm stuck around here all the time, hm?

[Well actually Cedric, Your mundane was waiting for you to be more active in your canon so she'd have more to go on other than you're a fail-wizard who bungles up everything you try to do but between a horse-ride and a sleepover, I don't think you're going to be showing up in any episodes for a while...Now that upcoming episode with the trolls however. Your mundane's hopeful you'll be a little more active there.]

goodnotlucky

Oh, of course I understand. Thirty-two hours in, you're already attempting to turn me into one of your punching bags. Like all the other sad little puppets you use to satisfy your thirst for personal angst.

Might as well face facts: I am too observant to get tricked and too cautious to succumb to an accidental dosage. I'll stick to blue, thanks, and you can take your rabid lust for 'man-pain' back to your other muses.

deathscore

Don't be too disappointed. Honestly, I'm glad Anise isn't going to show up here. Though while we're on the subject... do you think you could stop trying to hook me up with underage girls? Seriously, how many is this now? You have a problem. Most of them are half my age!

[Eye roll.]

Yeah, so they're aged up to 18. I'm 36, you know! That would be half my age. Are you bad at math or something?

derangedtheater

You have neglected me for a long time. "It just happens" is in no way an acceptable explanation.

Remember who I am and act accordingly. I doubt this is a difficult concept to comprehend.

perceptiveness

I was not being "over dramatic", being expelled from the DWMA would have been a serious problem!

But, go on, Keep laughing; you are just adding to the list of reasons why I should smack you with one of my textbooks.

majestic_leader

You know, you could always throw me at more ladies. That wouldn't be unappreciated.

not_adalovelace

You're not serious, are you?

...Really?

I don't want to be the one saying 'I told you so' in a couple of months, y'know.

Alright, alright! Sheesh.

But I still think it's a bad idea.

dancingdoll

I don't care for being your pawn or plaything. So find me Paul, find me Carrie, find me Chris- or leave me be.

hawthorned

I thought you'd forgotten all about me, in favor of the other [A derisive noise.] fascinating people you keep the company of. It's an honor that the impression I've left on you is so profound.

If you aren't already aware of this fact, the only interest I have in being revived is to finish the job I've started. If you can arrange for that to happen, I'll happily go along with your ridiculous plan to find me a 'home.' Try not to mess that up, won't you? Incompetence is very tiring.

overdriving

Oh, sure, you're allowed to like her.

You're just not allowed to oggle her, watch her, gush over how cute she is, play as her when that spaceship of hers finally crashes onto our humble little vacation spot, and she is most definitely not allowed to make herself welcome in your headspace.

What?

Jealous? Me? HA! What do I have to be jealous of? There's no way she's cuter than me. Or more talented than me. Or better than me in any way, shape, or form! I have nothing to be insecure about. I'm Lucia, after all! I've got way more charm and talent in my fingernail than she has in her whole body!

...

Don't give me that look! You know I'm right.

easybakeoven

What's with the journal name? You think its easy to melt mechs down to their core components?

[Crosses his smaller pair of arms] It takes a lot of energy.

And then there's the cleanup. Which I have to get Vos or Kaon to do for me because I can't reach. It's a pain in the aft.

biotch

So what, you and me, we shack up on your couch for a couple of weeks and all of a sudden you think you know my life? Like that suddenly makes us tight or something? [ Yeah, he's not having it. ]

Nah. Nah. Cause, y'see — I know guys who shit bigger turds than you. So here's what's gonna happen. I'm going home.

Here's what's not gonna happen. I'm not giving you a hug, I ain't gonna play, and I'm definitely not about to let you make me your Ken-and-Barbie fun-time bitch, yo.

We crystal?

thelightest_feet

Your mind is all aflutter. Have my feet danced this rhythm into your head? If so, please don't blame yourself for falling behind! Sylphs are daughters of the breezes - we move at a faster pace. So swift, so swift. Humans... You can't keep up. Can't follow, not so long as you're still earth-bound.

I simply bemoan that you can't fly, mun. That you can't fly more freely.

pavement

'M not supposed to be here. Go to your other pretty playthings! Should just leave me to rest, least I was happy when I'd gone!

Current Music: (musical, strong novel influences)

doingthemistything

You're getting desperate, mun.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see more of the team, too, but this is ridiculous. Stop saying you'll have the time to enable people. You know almost everyone who plays here. Not everyone, mind you, but almost. If the others were going to show up there, I'm pretty sure it would've happened already.

... I miss them too, but I'm being realistic here.

antiequalist

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!!!??? Seriously, haven't you put me through enough already?

You know you've changed a lot since I got to Nautilus. I bet you planned it that way, have the first few months be all "have fun, explore, make new friends." and them WAM! Toss in all the bad stuff. Clover and Rex's Mun's aren't helping anything by the way. But you already knew that Miss add more fuel to the fire...

[ Korra gasps. ]

You wouldn't dare... Look I know you're on this whole artist thing, but please leave me out of it. Rex doesn't need to see any of that...or anyone for that matter. I'm not a model. [ Blank stare. ]

Whatever... even if Clover is, it doesn't matter. People don't just fall in love because you look a certain way and I wouldn't wear her costume just for you to have a few laughs. No...I wouldn't wear it to get "him" excited either....

Look could we please leave that out of this conversation...I really don't want to talk to you about it...

And no...Mako can't make it all better....

rrbando_rambo

I used to want this kinda thing. To try something really heroic and dangerous...

now all I can think about is how many people I'll let down if I get really hurt doin' something that could get me killed.

I couldn't possibly cause Gadget that kind of grief.

Am I going to be a hero for the city or a hero for her?

daddywasntthere

A rusted bucket of a cargo ship with a harlot of a woman, a fool who worships the dull memory of my father, and some brat of a boy whom my incompetent brother gifted Yamato to in a pathetic fit of sentimentality?

And you expect something other of me than gutting the whelp and leaving him to bleed out while I take back my sword?

You're more of a fool than I'd anticipated. Which is saying something.

worstpire

No.

No, nope, I am not being dragged into your half-cocked plans -- not this time, not ever. You think I don't know what kind of things you get up to with your scheme-y friends? Don't you think I've suffered enough mental anguish? I'm still dealing with the v-word problem, I don't have time for this!

Okay, okay, I'm sorry for yelling at you, but still, no. Noooooo.

yen

A game with vampires? The thought hadn't crossed my mind.

It would certainly make my dream easier to accomplish. Whether they would comply is a different matter, of course. I'm sure I could do something to help them make that decision.

mostpeculiar

I rather like bibliophile, personally, it seems an apt descriptor. Certainly more complimentary than peculiar, but to each their own.

Bit of bad timing though, all things considered in my current state. I do realize you will be playing me from before this previous episode. We can still work on your timing.

nemein

I don't understand why you want other people to come to the ship. It's not exactly a nice place to be trapped in, and everyone has more important things to do back home.

… A- and I don't need anyone to look out for me! Cut that out!

It's your own fault for picking a weird canon point, Mun-san.

who_watches_over_you

[I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend

But I am.]

flameuser

Honestly, how is he a "glory hog"? He worked really hard to save everyone!

You two are so immature.

...

NO, I'm not just saying that because I-- you know what? This is ridiculous! Stop giggling over his username and hurry up and find me a game or something, isn't that the whole point of making my journal?

...what do you mean, you'd rather send Sheba?! What's wrong with me?!

robomurphy

I told you not to waste your money on a paid account. What did you do? You got me a paid account. I told you not to waste your money on the novelization of my movie. What did you do? You bought it and are now reading it.

Fine. You wanna waste your money, fine. But THIS? No. I never wanted to become ROBOCOP. You took me from a time from before then. I liked things like that. But now you've gone and done this. I don't want those memories.

on_my_own

Mundane, I do not understand why you are doing this. You must enjoy torturing yourself as well as me. I was poor and homeless in my world and now I am here too. No home, no friends, practically invisible except when I dress like a boy.

That Marius your other muse was talking to? The fact that you did this just for him is pathetic. ~~It's not like I'm so in love with him I can't live without him.~~

allofme

Oooh no. Not this again. You're looking again! Aren't memes enough? I'm okay there! Nobody cares about the lack of icons! Me and Toothless can go places together. We don't have to worry about-- so much stuff!

So -- why don't you just go do other tags, and stop looking, okay? Seriously. I've even got a tag you could be doing right now instead of... sitting there making faces and hem-hawing. Seriously. It's bad idea. Stop looking. You'll give up in a day anyway, get busy, and then you'll be back at it in week. I know. You've been doing it for a month now.

hauntedmelody

You would seek to play me, then?

[A choking, empty laugh.]

What is left for you to play with?

playingoursong

So glad to know I was your, what, third choice?

I guess I'm supposed to be grateful that you picked me, and not the flying tin can or lump of coal.

Yeah, I wasn't really paying attention.

livingmachine

You intend to take me before my acceptance of my true self...? I see. This is an unexpected turn of events. However, as a machine, I must obey.

It was... nice... to have a life. I believe, if it is possible, that I will... miss it.

ladylooper

Hey! Lady! Let's start at the beginning, okay?

Step one being: Don't freak out. You're not dying, and you're not going to get fired. You just lost your voice, it's happened before, you'll be fine. One more day of work, then you've got a fucking long weekend, you'll heal.

Step two: You can canon review tomorrow after work. I know, don't really need much of one, but I know you want to get a better feel for the 'verse. Makes sense. Maybe come up with some actual backstory for me.

Step three: ... actually there is no step three. Just to reiterate: Relax. Canon review tomorrow. That's all.

whywefight

So, we're trying this Vanguard thing out, are we? It's like you went back into my timeline, made me into a biotic killer on Mindior, sent me to Brain Camp like Kaidan (well, sorta Brain Camp II), and tossed me in bed with Liara.

Oh, wait, you did.

Speaking of Kaidan, I guess he's probably pleased I rescued him, but-- Yeah. Leaving Ash behind on Virmire will never sit with me. Getting vaporized like that? I guess I'd want to go quick like that, when I go, but this is Ashley we're talking about here. If I'd just been faster. Hell, we've had this conversation before. I always wish I was faster or more creative. These are my people, my family, and I hate losing them.

I've got a running tally in my head and the dead will never stop whispering.

My powerset probably doesn't matter in the long run of things, does it?

Current Mood: awake

slayedaking

Deigned to notice me again, have you? As if we hadn't spent nearly a year together.

[Eight months is not nearly a year.]

Fuss at someone else with your petty details. Tell me, will I be rejoining my sweet sister? Such a shame to let her waste away all alone.

[...she is hardly wasting Jaime 8| you are a trainwreck and you don't even know it]

Think as you like. Shall I ask nicely? I'd like to be reunited with Cersei, if you please. And I know it would please you ever so much.

[You know there was a reason why you were dropped before, right?]

A reason you were never completely sure of in the first place. And a reason that perhaps, just perhaps, you're beginning to make room for. That is the term you use, yes? Make room for? I'm new to pretending to care.

[obviously.]

My sister. What is it the annoying one says? Mm, chop chop.

I think we have issues.
