Jan. 18th, 2013

I get how having almost all the "Sons of Sparda" could be seen as a bad or even dangerous thing. I understand that there's only so much boat to loveable moron that one can take, but think of it this way: all I have to do is make them obedient as the big lug, and I won't have to raise a finger.

Great, right?

I think it's fantastic.

fuckchild

Hey, mun. Yeah. You. Yeah, I got your attention, huh?

Look, I'm pretty happy with this whole little setup you got. Kind of excited actually.

Oh, by the way? Mun? Glad you don't give a shit.

[Look at that winning smug grin on his face.]

died_a_virgin

Are you really sure about this mun? I mean its a big rusty boat and you plan on bringing me in with those huge guns. Master won't be their either. At least he'll be able to help Sir Integra. I just hope Captain Bernadotte and the rest of the Wild Geese can survive without me.

unpredictably

Of course it's difficult to find illustrations of me. I've only appeared for a paragraph or two, and before that, only in passing mention. You'll have to wait until September to discover more about me.

I rather like September. Then again, I like all months. They're each a little different from one another, after all.

.. What? No, don't speculate so much. I don't want to think about how Daddy's changed. You have no idea--
Of course I've missed him. What child wouldn't have? But I'm not that little girl any longer, and..

Let's stop this. I think you've noticed the change in weather the last two days, haven't you? Don't make me drop a hurricane on you out of season.

endlessenvy

What do you mean 'somewhere'? I want to go where Dirge is!

Why did he get to go there first? I bet he has a bunch of cool things that I'll never get. I bet he gets Swindle all to himself too, the fragger.

This is your fault!

You know what? Nevermind! I didn't want to see Dirge's fat ugly face anyway. He can throw himself into the pit for all I care.

gave_everything

Aren't you adorable, been a fan of mine for years? Interesting, think you can handle this? Not that I don't think you can, but shouldn't you be in bed? You are sick and all.

Being sick causes mundanes to do strange things, like pick up muses they aren't ready for. Maybe go lay down and come back and decide in the morning? I am not going anywhere.

spraypaints

I'm resourceful--that's all I'm going to say.

[Because really, she does have a very good point on making instant spray-on spells.]

( Slight Spoilers )

[ooc: hate DmC, like it, i don't care. i'm giving this game a chance because i like this character and think she's interesting. but please don't go on an immediate hate spree in this post.

troll me, go ahead but don't go off-topic.

i find it sad i have to put a disclaimer but i saw what happened in the other DmC post...]

itsfabray

You're really going to send me there? I mean, really?

I know you usually make pretty good decisions but you already have four people there. Don't you think making it five would just be a little too much? Besides, a dream world...doesn't exactly sound appealing to me right now. Not when I'm just managing to get my life together.

[If you can't already tell, Quinn is not at all impressed with the mun's plans...]

Just think about it a little more first. Or a lot.

breakmypride

So you’ve decided to pay me a little attention, have you? You remember you made this journal before forgetting all about it and leaving me to do nothing for months on end? Well, it isn’t as though it matters; it... isn't as though I care. I do have better things to do, you realise! Things better than entertaining whatever whims you would wish upon me, as you have so wished upon the others in your headspace.

And in any case, I need to concentrate on Amer— on keeping my colonies and such in order. I do have a— a silly, little war to put to an end.

And you… you would do better to leave me be.

not_onyourside

Zhis has gone on for far too long. You have had your fun, now let us be done wez zhis nonsense and move onto ozzer better zhings.

Namely zhe zhings zhat let me start raiding zhe BLU base again.

fullfrontal

So you're seeking a new beginning as well... interesting. Perhaps I won't be the only one sporting such an extravagant moniker anymore.

But do keep your previous mistakes in mind, Mundane. You wouldn't want the past repeating itself, now would you? That would simply lead to the coming of a second disaster which I'm quite certain neither of us can afford.

And please, get some rest already. Not even I push myself this hard.

weboflies

As if having me in one place wasn't enough for you. We'll see how long this lasts. You're as impulsive as Stark.

At the first sign of incompetence, I'll have you abort this mission.

bornintheusa

Just make this worth my goddamn time, all right?

diana_abel

Dear Mun,

Please stop grinning like a maniac. Please. It's totes freaking me out. I have so much on my plate right now, with the whole alien invasion thing about to happen. I don't really appreciate your pleasure in the idea that my, quote, brains are about to be splattered across the wall.

Seriously. Ew.

Although, I guess it is a primo opportunity to ask the age-old question: "How many Winchesters can you fit into a phone booth?" Because we're getting to the point where we could totes find out.

You know. For science.

Peace and love,

Diana "so not the Cainite messiah" Abel

ill_hearted_gentleman

Yes, milady, it is certainly an effective demonstration, to have you so enthusiastic about it.

...The nature of your excitement, however, leaves one with a few concerns. I understand that it is a function of the game, and certainly, this Sir Frederick seems to be a fine, upstanding young man, but.... Surely you agree that it is entirely too early to be declaring your romantic intentions? And to do so by declaring that you shall make him your wife to all and sundry.... It is behavior unbecoming of a lady and quite unreasonable.

You are a tactician, milady, ought you not concentrate instead on honing your tactics for the upcoming challenges? The battlefield is neither the time nor the place for matchmaking--

Milady, please. Laughter of this sort... It is most uncalled for.

weapabilities

Huma- er. Mundane.

Look, while I appreciate you finding me a new place to stay I guess, that's a tick, but I had a perfectly good place. More importantly, he was there. You took me away from Wing and now you want to stick me in a place where you are certain I will be completely alone.

I don't-

I don't have a problem with being alone but color me confused. I was happy.

I just don't understand. I want to go back to that broken down place with him.

over3000exes

What's that look for, mun? You can't be upset over my latest accomplishment.

[Yo, sorry Metal, but adding another notch to your list of exes will always get you an (unsure) face.]

As if the things crawling in the back of your head are anything pleasant and clean.

theignorantfool

I know you're excited about the whole... growing canon thing, but be realistic for a second.

Kimblee wouldn't have exactly been a positive addition, especially at the same time as Winry. Besides, he's unpredictable enough without adding another world to the whole mess!

It would have been nice if she showed up, but I'm not complaining that she didn't either.

Hey, I can take care of my own automail!

Next month will be interesting, at least. Who knows how many actually show up...

You really should get on that canon review before then, you've been talking about one for nearly two years now.

//: Dear Mun:

//: As fascinating as it has been to watch you write this application, {Did you really have to include that part?}, you can stop any time now. Completing it and submitting it are unnecessary. Honest.

//: There's some deep shit going on, and while Julian might be up to his eyeballs and sinking, I'm no where near that mire and have no particular inclination to get tossed in head first.

//: Also: You're a total Bitch.

justtake5minutes

You know, people are going to get the wrong idea with the name you picked. Hell, I'll probably end up with some time of reputation. Maybe I should point out that it was more than five minutes to begin with.

But, let's just get past that little thing. If I keep talking about it, it's going to end up a big deal. Plus, you have a strange way of letting your mind go directly into the gutter in the first place.

Send me where you want, I can handle it. Just don't set me up and decide to leave me hanging, okay? Do that for me, and we've got a deal.

nightlightly

[ there's a small glowing boy, roughly teenager-shaped, and he's sketching on a giant pad of paper, tongue sticking out of his mouth in concentration. he pauses, capping the sharpie, and turns the paper up so it can be seen.

on it, several quick little doodles depicting nicholas st. north (looking considerably younger than he is these days), a feathered woman, and a rabbit man in glasses. next to it, a girl with dark curls, several exclamation points next to her.

below them all, a face some might recognize as jack frost's, with question marks next to him.

sorry, dear_mun, he doesn't know you well enough to chat with you. 8'( you'll have to make do with his sketches. where are his friends? and who's the new guardian?

a pause, and he holds a finger up to ask for a moment. turning the page, he makes another quick sketch, then tilts it back upright. pitch this time, with a giant X drawn right through him. he makes a face, giving a thumbs down. ]

gwenhwyfar

I don't see what the issue is; I, for one, welcome more nephilim and many more half-demon breeds. Why must you be so critical, mundane?

fairbrook

Oh. I'm sorry mun [except she's not, really]. Did you forget I don't particularly like Catholics?

thiscloakisgreen

Hmm hmm hmm...hm hm...

( Cut for evil laughter )

fleurofthedevil

Are you thinking about putting me somewhere at last? Will Siva be there? { A pause and then there is obvious disappointment in her voice. } You think I'm the only from my world? How can that be? I come from such a big world!

I guess you could ask anyone if they know about Hanatsukis. Just...be careful who you tell. You know how people react when they hear it and I don't have time to be a prisoner! Not again, at least.

Hop to it, Mun!

Love,
Lys

i_can_fix_it

A good evening to you, too, ma'am! Oh, me? Well, I'm just dandy–

"Enough with the pleasantries?" I don't know about you, but I can sense some urgency going on here...

I mean, I know I haven't been out for too long here and you've only got back to me about this 'application' thing. Oh, I know you haven't watched the movie more than twice! That's all right by me, ma'am. I don't hold nothing against your memory.

Now, now. We'll figure this out, right? If you do need the assistance, I can fix it! Just type out something and see where it goes from there.

aetherial

I feel like I'm missing something here. Maybe you can clue me in, Mun.

[A pause, then he shrugs.]

What's so bad about fighting for your friends?

speakveryclearly

( Update-Related )

mask_of_order

That's it, you know everything now. About me, about Dante, about the world, and about limbo. What you choose to do from here is on you, if you want to continue waiting or turn away then I'm powerless to stop you. Yes, it is true that you have you still have some time to wait before you get to finish the story. To see what comes afterwards. But you have enough to act now.

So there will people who don't like it, and yes it was different from the others in a number of ways, if you're going to allow them to influence you then it's no different than what the demons have done.

Think for yourself, open your eyes, don't give in to their influences. You can rebel or you can remain docile and allow them to continue thinking for you. You've seen what they will do already if you let them. Some of them protesting the loudest know nothing, they remain blind and their minds are closed so there will be no convincing them.

So then, what will you do?

[[ooc: If you don't like the game, then simply ignore these posts. I enjoyed the previous games, and I enjoyed this one as well. Each of them have their merits and flaws, I'm not here to argue over them. Also be aware that there may be spoilers in the comments.]]

Good.

treadstone

Look, I know you have your reasons to get interested in my field of work but I really don't think you know what you're doing.

Turn back now and nothing will harm you.

besubtlewithit

I'll give you that, it's sad to hear. Always sad when someone leaves us right? Even I can admit that.

blacklynx

I'm not interested.

You say you want play me more, but why does it have to be a game like that? To make things worse, you're making me be part of an Easter-like organization even in this game.

On top of that Utau... is still like that towards me. Can't we at least wait until she gets over it--?

[... he sighs as he's reminded that Utau's been without Ikuto for six months.]

Fine. I won't make her wait any longer. I'm still not happy about all of this though.

whitish

No, bestow mercy upon me, mun! Take me from another point in time, I beg of you. The time before I knew of grief, before I knew of betrayal. If you do not, I must forever bemoan my losses and truly, I shall rather let the waters engulf me. Rather see death dry my tears.

Than suffer such tragedy.

- Odette

9_lives

Are you sure about this?

I mean, I know the Motorcity motto is "Live Fast, Live Free," but don't you think you're taking this a little too fast?

I can't be here. I've got info I've gotta get to the guys, and if my dad finds out where I am? He'll freak!

captainpink

Woah, woah - back the puff up!

Who is Aku? And why do I have... [peers down at chest] these?

oathofpeace

...thank you mun, for choosing me. I feel quite honored. Now I wonder what sort of excitement awaits for me in this place?

singstheprayer

I'm not so sure it's that amusing seeing Cagalli in a dress. I know she doesn't wear them often, and you think it's funny to see Kira's reaction, but still....

And yes, I'm glad if you do decide to take me to Exsilium, that Kira might come along too, I guess. Even if I don't want him involved in another war if it can be helped, because of me being there.

rather_be_surfing

So let me get this straight, lady; you get me back into one game and first thing that happens is that I manage to get myself laid up in the clinic for a month with a crushed leg.

Yeah, I don't think I like the direction you're taking that in.

And don't even start with the 'well at least Sam didn't kill you in the other game'. That's not exactly a comfort, considering the place.

...and stop smiling.

fatedchaos

Oh, no. No, no, no. Put me back. I was happy being left alone. [A pause.] Well, I mean, I like when you take me out to have fun, but not another game. I'm sick and tired of being thrown into situations that I don't want to handle at all. I want to move on with my life and live for Catty and be with Michael and go to school. [The girl takes a deep, shaky breath, running both hands through her hair.]

I'm not really a hero. And I don't think I play at "damsel" really well, either. I'm boring, okay? You and I both know it. Just really, super, normal boring. I am a normal teenage girl, and I would like to be able to actually be that for once. No more taking me places when it's my birthday, but I haven't made my Choice yet. No more goddess powers. No more having to remember Catty's death over and over.

[There's a brief moment where she goes blurry before she solidifies again.] Just go away already! I'm not even your favorite. Play with Catty or that weird bear girl or just literally anyone.

[Sigh.]

alienare

Of course you're going to have trouble finding art of me. No one likes me, Ms. Mundane.

[A small sigh.]

...And I know you want to use more art of Marona, but I can't smile like she does.

[ooc: canon is Phantom Brave]

deadbythename

You're entire plan for the week is to make me miserable. Gee wilkers, I'm shocked.

Screw you, this shit is practically a vacation for me. If you're looking for some stupid emotional bullshit or touching moments of realization in the rain, you're looking at the wrong guy.

I'm hittin' the freakin' bars till things calms down. The rest can take care of themselves.

traitorforacause

Well, you've got guts, I'll give you that. Snatching me away from Miltia's final moments to send me to some malformed wasteland, surrounded by naught but ignorant fools...I'll commend you for your bravery, but not for your intellect. What makes you think I'll play along with this little adventure?

What-?! That place is Lost Jerusalem? Hmmm...perhaps it will be worth cooperating, but if our holy land truly has been so defiled in this world...well, I'll have to have a word with those responsible.

shirokitsune

Hooooooooold on there, partner!

Now just who the heck are "YOU" supposed to be, huh? You can't just sneak up on a fella like me, and expect me welcome you with open arms. Oh, hell nah! We got to do this the old fashion way and give introductions.

Now I'll go back to my previous question, who the heck are you? You're not an "ex" or mine or somethin', right? 'Cause this could turn into an episode of Jerry Springer really fast if that's the case. You're not even my type though...

Hm? What's that? Mun? What's that? Doesn't sound tasty or edible, so I guess that's your name.

twintastic

...A'ight- ...mun, player, whatever we're 'spose t'call ya- ....what are we doin' here? Like- ...if we don't get back to work soon-

[Before the character speaking can finish the other chimes in, both hands on his brother's shoulder.]

-we'll get unplugged! A-and...

[The two exchange a look before saying in unison-]

That ain't gonna happen.

yesthatsmyname

Hello, Mun.

I've been okay, thanks for asking. Gone through a lot of Spaghetti-Os and Yoo-Hoo. There are plenty of interesting people around for me to talk to. Or...study, I guess. They don't seem to like talking to me very much. Don't care for sardines very much either.

It's okay, I'm used to it. They don't understand my lockjaw.

It would be nice to see Shawn again, though. Or Guster. We could have some pie. I could even bring Ben.

You know.

Sometime.

celestial_wizard

You see mun? Erza wouldn't let us down - I know the way things ended last week you were a little worried, but there's no way she'd just lie down and accept death that way. [ In spite of that crippling survivor's guilt. ]

And that Minerva... she won't get away with everything she's done. I know it ... [ She's got the Wrath of the Fairies on her now. Sure that doesn't look very intimidating in print, but!! ]

I'm still a little worried about what's going on with that other me - everything is still pretty mysterious, but... it's going to turn out all right, right?

Right...

hearts_star

Awe, why do you gotta be sick again? Didn't you just get over the flu an' all that icky coughing? Have you been going out in the cold without a coat?

[Cue Kai's Serious Face as he stands with his hands on his hips.]

Mom says when you do that, you're just asking to get sick. Hurry up an' get better, I wanna talk to those neat Guardians we've been seeing around here! I even promise not to sic any Shadows on that mean guy, Pitch! Promise promise promise!

[His mun is giving him a look. As if the short fry could manage that anyway.]

blindbirdboy

Seriously? We're doing this again?

You know you're going to get the same complaints: 'whyyy didn't you just make an OC?', 'why'd you have to ruin the character like that?' blah blah blah, and you know, you know you're just going to get frustrated by it and stop putting me in memes.

Because let's face it: that's the only place you're going to put me anyway.

thefirstguardian

[Sandy has been very patient with his mun so far. He's put up with being taken from his work, collared, and dragged onto a space station (where he can't even go outside to enjoy the stars, by the way). The last month has been both enlightening and upsetting, interesting and world-rocking. He's made some new friends and done his best to make the best of a fairly bad situation.

But this? This is too much.

The little man is looking haggard, dark circles standing out clearly beneath his eyes and his sand moving sluggishly when he starts to "speak". A dream bubble appears above his head, shimmering unsteadily. Inside the bubble, rather than prancing ponies or leaping dolphins, sinister images shift in and out of focus. Glaring eyes and sharp claws morph into being for a few moments, only to be replaced with other unsettling, if indistinct shapes. The dream bubble only remains for a few moments before a bold 'X' appears over it and the entire image disintegrates.

Sandy, though weary and weak, glares at his mun, little hands clenched into fists. For every dream he's given this week, he's been rewarded with a nightmare. Nightmares so bad that the sandman can't sleep. Without sleep he cannot dream, and without dreams...

You can't give the Guardian of Dreams nightmares. You can't.]

bitofanarse

You are aware that most people consider me an absolute tit, and those are the people that actually like me, right?

I can't believe you think shoving me into some new places is actually going to do a lick of good.

And you know what? I'd actually like to get LAID at some point! The soldiers at Ostagar laughed at me! Tried to get me into bed with a pretty elf!

I DON'T want a pity shag, Makers breath.

I'm going to die a sodding virgin.

Maker I hate you.

I think we have issues.
