So, what, every time you remember I exist, you drag me out like some kind of show pony? Come on, d'you even know how long it's been since I spent some quality time with Jen and the kids? Let alone by myself. Christ.

— Oh, yeah, think of it as a vacation, like this is what I'd be doing with my time off.

formerlyknownassaga

You're not even putting forth a full effort anymore.

Why even bother trying? Just let it go already.

Current Mood: blah

mindblast

So should I just introduce myself to the rest of Haven as Marian the Bearded, the templar supporting rogue/warriorwhatever with siblings that are either dead or alive but somehow never both?

Good choice of a "game", by the way. I'm laying low so well that my own siblings don't even recognize me.

chronologistics

oh my god
youre really doing this arent you
and by this i mean dropping everything like its hot
like youre playing motherfucking hot potato with lucifers left testicle
still wrapped all snug and tight in tin foil fresh out of the goddamn oven
and doing me

see i say doing me because saying youre playing me is just no way to describe the esoteric relationship we are apparently about to make happen
plus it sounds better

i mean its all pretty fucking abrupt i think
not that i can blame you
because im a pretty fly guy
and im sort of a big deal
and if i were you id totally want to do me too

ok then
lets make this shit happen i guess

the_godfather

Mondano... I appreciate what you did for me. Creating this journal, helping me to come here. You displayed some good qualities. Respect, willingness. That I will not forget.

But you have neglected what's most important to me. The family. All these things I can see from here, all the business opportunities your people keep speaking of- Marvelous as they may be, none of these things can replace what is most precious to a man in this world.

Do not be mistaken. I am not ungrateful as to your efforts and I wish you good luck to you and to your other musa in this place. However I cannot accept your offer. My no is final.

coveredinrust

I'm not interested.

And, even if I were, don't you have others that you should be playing instead of me? Like that annoying machine you're so in love with.

...

Whatever. Do what you want, I guess.

merchandising

Don't worry so much about it! I had fun meeting new people, too. And, well. It would be nice to see Konoe again. But, if you're busy, you're busy, and there's no helping that.

Besides, I do still have a shop to take care of back home, you know! When the time is right, I'd be more than happy to go on an adventure with you again. But until then, I'm fine with waiting.

lowlypirate

Heh. So, you finally couldn't resist any more, could you? Well, I can't say I blame you. And as long as you don't keep things too boring around here, I'm not gonna complain, either.

I'm starting to wonder, though, how many of us are running around in that head of yours, anyway? Don't get me wrong, it's great to see my comrades, but I'd like to meet someone new. Besides, I get tired of staring at Ling Tong's ugly face every day. I need a change of scenery already!

alarum

It's not that I mind being here. I'm ... grateful, actually.

I just wish that it would have happened earlier. Before I ruined everything.

You have treated me with more kindness than I deserve but I don't want pity and I still doubt that he would want me to come.

reasonsvoice

Mun,

Word of advice, but somehow I don't think making more icons for me counts as a priority. What is it with muns and icons, anyway?

milch

As romantic a notion as it is, I very much doubt Herr Schultz will agree to the figure I cut as a relative, my dear.

[[ OOC: Basically Hans and King Schultz (Django unchained) are two different Germans played by the same actor and the mun would like to explore a few sibling/cousin AU things that are probably terrible. ]]

trapezeamericano

I am happy that you liked my Trapeze Americano in the movie. Alex and I practiced very hard to perfect the performance. After years of waiting, we are finally the circus we are meant to be. All the animals practiced very hard to make the show a big success.

We are not like the circus from when you were just a little one, no?

But ...while I appreciate your praise, I do not think that I should go to any of these "games". Vitaly, Stefano and Alex would be very worried if I were to suddenly disappear.

[ OOC: Canon is Madagascar 3. In the vein of Madagascar, only animals will be able to understand Gia. Any humans will just hear a jaguar growling. ]

glasseskink

So when you read "+anyone awesome" under the DC section of the wanted characters list, why did you laugh?

I can be "awesome." I fill people with awe all the time!

Not that I'm particularly impressed with your choice in entertainment venues. It sounds very brutal. I'm surprised you'd want to consign anyone to that kind of experience.

monsterindeed

Mundane, I did not think you could possibly become more aggravating. I see this was a mistake and in fact you took my belief as a challenge.

Firstly, the new journal. 'Death becomes obsolete'? Really? That is hardly any better than your previous attempt. You've even gone the extra step into abusing Latin. The language is already dead, no point in beating it further. I promise, even the most vaunted necromancer couldn't make it rise again.

Secondly, Horst. You just had to encourage him, didn't you? Bad enough that I have to put up with you, now the egregious fop of a vampire as well? You know I haven't forgiven him for abandoning me when I needed him most. This will not end well. It may end in a sudden, sharp stab and a mouthful of garlic.

Finally, I order you to cease and desist considering the dream world immediately. Things will go very hard for you if you do not. I have it on good authority that clawing out of one's grave when one's fingers no longer operate at full capacity is nigh impossible.

Do not test me,
Johannes Cabal

ink_nin

It's been a long time, Mun-san. I thought you had forgotten me.

bumder

Oh, piss off. Didn't you learn anything the last time you tried this?

gypsy_portals

I understand, munnie. This bugs me, too. But there's a good side to everything, right? If the "real" Equestria wants our Equestria gone, then that means that nopony will ever get on your case about playing me wrong, right? That's what you say you like about being a "lone canon warrior"!

So what if it means you'll never be able to get me in another game... or means that you might just move on because I'm just a dumb old earth pony...

...I mean, there's gotta be some light at the end of the tunnel, right?

....right?

stop_calling_me_zelda

OI!

Those pictographs look great! I'm gonna get a bunch'a new icons outta this, right? And you can get rid'a some'a those dumb princess ones.

Hmm... And whaddaya think the chances are of my Link showin' up in the Tower again? Ya know, I'm gonna have t'hit him pretty hard for leavin' me there. The kid would have some nerve to show up and not expect to get cuffed for it.

I guess it'd be nice to have him around again. It'd make that tower'a hell a bit more bearable.

[Liar. You'd love to have him back, Tetra.]

Don't go puttin' words in my mouth...

And while yer at it, go replay the one ya got until you can get the HD one. Been awhile.

nobleminded

THIS IS THE STUPIDEST IDEA YOU'VE HAD YET, YOU IDIOT! WHY WOULD THEY MAKE GLOVES LIKE THAT ONLY TO DESIGN THEM FOR A CERTAIN GENDER?! YOU KNOW INSTRUMENTS DON'T WORK LIKE THAT, MORON!

YOU HAD BETTER NOT CHANGE THAT APPLICATION SO IT SAYS THAT!!!

ecumenically

Love, I'd be far more obliged to go traipsing about some sort of magical wasteland if I hadn't already done that-

[Mind you, the bit with the rock crabs was more along the lines of being addled, so it counts less as 'adventure' and more as 'ridiculous fever-dream wherein there was no rum'.]

-so stow the bilge and come out with it smartly now on the true nature of your intentions and-or desires.

twentysixthprince

Hey. Hey. Hey, Devi!

Why are you grinning at me like that? It's the same grin you had about a month ago, what is it about?

... What are you talking about? And what does that mean, "You were lucky to be born with a stomach made of steel"? Stop being so confusing, it's mean of you! You know exactly that it must have been Shiva's protection that keeps me healthy!

conjuredskies

That wasn’t weather: that was a light fluffy blanket. If you trip over in the Jerralls you vanish in a puff of snow. One light frost and your advanced machines go to pieces.

I have an important question, though: how many ordinary people have I actually met? You know, as opposed to werewolves, or necromancers, or... weird things from another plane? Because while I like to think I’m pretty good at talking to all of those (well, some of them) it’d… be nice to know.

...Huh. You have a point. I do like surprises. I just like to give as well as receive, you understand?

Current Mood: amused

the_gardens_apple

Well, the last several days have been interesting, haven't they, darling?

Yes, yes, I know, but I am not worried about them, but about you. There are other things you should be working on. That post you made about the manifestations of several different mental conditions was rather interesting. You should continue it as you had planned. I'm sure there would be other writers also interested in it.

In fact, several of them have stated they are. All you need do is sit down and write it.

Yes, I'd like my story finished - alright, it isn't quite my story - but I do play a rather significant role in it. Then, you should finish the SHIELD story that you've been writing. After that, there is the one about wolves.

Why yes, child, I am nagging you about the things that should be done. I am a mother, after all.

Now, run along. People will speak up or not as they choose. You have offered them the chance. Now, to work young lady. Nothing will be completed if you simply sit and stare.

debts

What's that phrase — "out of the frying pan, into the fire"?

I was hoping for a little more r&r. Mai-Tais wouldn't hurt every once in a while.

notruined

... Lyuze is coming, mundane?

toujoursfluer

Mun, I understand that you find Zoro absolutely fascinating--which is understandable. Though, I think you're more interested in the fact that you find him, to paraphrase: "quite a beefcake". I'm not sure what your inspiration is with Arlong.

However, I do have plans, you realize. And someone who depends on me. More than one person. And Perona to ~~stalk and possibly maim~~ observe.

I'd appreciate it if you paid a little attention to the muse who got you into this ridiculous series to begin with.

Thank you,
Sincerely
Nico Robin

nerveball

Why are you bringing me back out? It—it's not as if you can even do anything with me. I mean, look at the tags here. Do you see that one that says "type: canon original"? Most games won't take anyone that needs to use it because it could screw things up for everyone else.

A-and let's face it, you're kind of lazy too, so trying to send me off to one of the few games that would accept me wouldn't really work out either because you'll need to write out an actual history for me if you do. I've seen how long it takes you to write things up for the others, and I've seen you give up on them, too.

Maybe...maybe you should just focus on that Nina girl, the one you already have in a game.

headphones_pinwheels

Mun right? Listen as much as I know you love my canon, could you send me back already? My little sister is waiting for me. Those two idiots too probably....

wade_wilson

You know what you need?

A banana slicer.

I'm serious. Those things are awesome. You tried cutting a banana without one? It's stupid. SO stupid. You'll thank me, you'll see.

Pick one up for me too. I’m tired of washing this chef knife. Or as you like to call it, a "katana”.

nightgoddess

Mun, is this supposed to be the 'voice test' you were speaking of or an attempt to get me to finish what my Avatar couldn't?

Or were you perhaps going to shiver in the corner over 'head canon' some more?

I'm growing inpatient.

markhoffman

Nobody misses me.

You shouldn't either. [because he has moved beyond emotional attachment. Kthnxb.]

shuttersense

No, it's really all right. Really. I'm fine with not having anyone from home with me.

You're right in how I've missed them so much, Mun.

But I could never let them be risked by the things within this House. It's all right. I'll pretend a little longer that I'm not lonely.

Maybe someday, I'll be able to see them again.

burninhale

schmifeaffirming

So-- So wait. Hooooold the phone here. Way I'm hearing all of this is that, and correct me if I'm wrong. It'd be me getting set up in a place where I'm gonna be on camera. Twenty-four seven. Starring in my own specialized blockbuster slaughterfest for an adoring crowd?

And you're waiting to do something to start this ball rolling... Be...cause... Why??

Come on, you fucking crazy bitch, this is perfect! I mean, the writing thing was great, I'm not gonna give that up, it's not like you can anyway, it's just. That whole creative flow, y'know? That's not something you just turn off - Marty knows that, hell, not even being an alcoholic bastard stops him, god love the guy - but that's not the point. The point is that-- You're doing much better than that overpaid schmuck of an agent I had. Telling me I got no talent, what a fucking piece of bullshit that was. So.

Let's do this thing! Yeah! Wonder how big a gun I'll get, I mean, they're gonna wanna a show, right? Can't do that without a shitload of firepower to sweep those ratings.

schoolaholic

You're becoming a nuisance again. You want to give me another try but you feel rusty. Maybe you should take that as a sign to not even bother. In the end, this has nothing to do with me. Go spend time with the others you've been neglecting.

boot2thehead

[Ooh, now his mun remembers him. That only took months until a Steam sale. Not that he could really complain about being remembered. Even if it means said mun trying to reconcile both game worlds by making one a hallucination.

That definitely wouldn't make him confused about the whole train-subway thing. Or what was going on while he was enjoying Armacham's 'hospitality'.

Or about his entire team not being dead.]

Well, now what?

[Please tell him he's not just going to be stuck sitting here again, twiddling his thumbs. He's not good at that.]

wantedthisparadise

Where am I?

...are you searching for Paradise too?

bunnysaurus

Um... mundane? I know you really need to voice test, but I'm not really sure what to say, here...

... Ah, wait! I know, I'll do like everyone else!
But that's a lot...

How about "Give me more icons!"?
Or "I don't like my username!"

... Oh, well.. I guess that one's not so true. It does make me sound like a little kid, but it's kind of cute, right?

nottalittlewolf

Look, Mun, I know why you chose to have that...that thing put on me, and I get it. I hate to say it, but, you made the right choice, I'm not angry about that.

But do you really have to make this so difficult for my friends?!

betterlogoutand

What the heck is a fourth wall event and why should I care? It sounds like a pain.

and_i_know_it

Well! It's about time you listened to me again! I know you keep complaining every time I speak up when you go shopping but really, I look forward to this... Anatole, is it? Sounds foreign. Another world? Oh my!

...winter? Ha ha ha- I think I must have misheard you, it's only just past Golden Week, I'm sure! No? Well of course for you it's January but for me-

Well surely it's better than that last city you sent me to! Although it wasn't so terribly bad- after all, how often is it that you get free rent for store space and provided materials?! -of course I could do without all the other, ah, events.

It would be nice to see the others around though! Perhaps it wouldn't be half as bad being sent somewhere if Tori-san or Gure-san were to come along! -oh! Even better! What are the chances of having my dear little brother appearing?

Oh don't give me that look, it's always possible!

getyourgameon

Sup' bro! ~~sis?~~

So you decided to take me for a spin? I dunno if you are ready for someone like me. I mean, seriously, dude. I'm the number one duelist at Duel Academy and I have the good looks that come with it.

Can you honestly handle my sweet awesomeness?

-Jaden

P.S. Have you found my best friend yet? B'c I really miss Jesse.

glidingwind

It's okay mun. I understand sometimes you have to do things you don't want to. You already dropped me from one place so don't feel bad about a second.

And now you have an idea to not drop me or app somewhere else? My advice is look in your heart.

skyofreverie

No, absolutely not. I'm not gonna tell people to come next week for that weird two week long visitor event. Why would you even want me to? We both know what's gonna happen when it's over. The second week isn't gonna be much better either.

I've lost enough already and I'm not looking forward to this experiment at all. So don't expect me to go along with your plan to get people that I know to come. It's bad enough you're looking forward to that Vanitas guy coming and poking at me.

faithlost

"What's gone is forever lost." It applies here, too.

Stop wondering if that's going to change this time... You have a birthday to prepare for next week. All you're doing is wasting time.

He's gone, so give it up. Some of us actually have an Al to get back to.

themodestone

I can't believe that's what it takes for you to notice there's a tag for me, now.

No sense in messing with a system that works, though. I haven't even been out in 6 months, and quite frankly- I prefer it that way.

Let's just stick with things the way they are, okay?

Okay.

1967impalaluv

( maybe- slight spoiler. BUT ONLY SLIGHTLY. )

bringerofdemons

Ugh, it's about time. I was wondering if you'd EVER come back.

Yeah, yeah...I know you had to have back surgery and you been pretty much out of commission ever since, but I've been bored since then. You should go back you know. I'm sure some of those friends of yours miss you. Since you were able to go back to work now and you're up and about a bit we can afford to have some real fun now, right?

And I might be curious as to what Washu is up to and that odd little roommate of hers is doing.

~~Not that she misses the a little or anything.~~

ungentle

Well.

Some of the others up here tell me this is your "pre-decision period," that you get an idea and think for months about it before actually going through with it. I trust that you mean to make good on your promises, though, and given that you're good about finding things for me to do, however inconsequential they may be, it's not as if I'd be completely idle during the interim. Considering the new material that's due shortly, too, I will allow that it's likely wise to wait.

Besides, while there's something to be said for journeys with unknown ends, I suspect you'll be more comfortable with at least a destination in mind.

adarkfallenstar

Mundane, you cannot pretend to be surprised with this upcoming turn of events.

Were it not awful enough that I have consumed-unbeknownst to me-secondhand skeleton saliva infected with nanites....in the form of contaminated peppermints!

No, no, you can't stop there. You have to get my hopes up with Rex telling me that "I only have a few thousand of the little things inside me, but that they probably won't activate and that I probably won't turn into a slathering, rampaging beast.

But you are going to do it anyway.

And a bat.

How original of you Mundane.

[sarcasm.]

I see what you did there.

his_living_legacy

Mmm, that's a good name. I think he'd like it too. I don't mind going to a new place, it seems interesting actually but I should let Tifa know first. She'll start worrying if I'm gone for too long, or get angry. Hmm, I should bring something back for Marlene and Denzel.

grap3juice

Miss,

I have no qualms with your choice, I just think it sort of hasty. But I rest my case, as it seems too late to change your mind. That said, I do enjoy the username. It's rather adorable. I do advise against games though, but I think you know that already. Still, just my cautionary word to you. I doubt we'd find anyone who knew us anyway... we are rather obscure, I'm told. Not to mention, getting rather old.

-Lumiere

xxxxing

Just because you threw me into the damn test drive meme doesn't mean I'm going to let you write an app. What part of no doesn't your dumb ass understand?

I think we have issues.
