Jan. 28th, 2013

You don't have to write every single little detail of my history for the application. It's a briefing: make it brief.

Duo's waiting for me, and others are waiting for you to finish writing my application to get it in. I'll work with you as much as I can, but you have to write it.

If you need motivation, I'll provide it. Now.

Ninmu ryoukai.

[He thought that being found near death in-game by one of his best (and only) friends was going to be the worst thing to happen this week. He was wrong, and he does not even try to keep his distress hidden despite trying to sound positive.]

It will be alright, User. Things will work out in the end. As power hungry as he is, he will get what is coming to him.

[That being said Drive is just going to pluck his two Bits from the air and keep them extra close for ~~forever~~ now. And, for once, Alpha and Beta aren't even going to argue about their sudden lack of freedom.]

Mundane:
You are bringing me here because you were "listening to my canon" and wanted to play with me? I am not your toy, and you of all people should know it.
How about you go play with those queens and princesses you have in your head. There's a revolution out there and I am not going to miss it.

(ooc: Also terribly rusty voice testing, since I've only listened to the musical and not actually watched it, and my French, it is so rusty it may give you tetanus.)

C'mon, Mun. You shouldn't feel so guilty! You've gotta admit, I was there for three years and it really was my time, y'know? 'Sides, there's really no such thing as "good-bye". I'll definitely see them again. So, no worries!

And don't fret about the place I'm in, either. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's okay to sit back and be lazy every once in a while. You don't have to continuously brainstorm what to do with me. Sometimes, you just have to let things come naturally. Something will pop up. Trust me!

Just don't make the lazy thing a habit, okay?

namesram

Go to sleep. You need to be awake in five hours! We can talk about it tomorrow, okay? You had a plan!

But with the way things were going I didn't expect that either.

( spoilery spoilers )

cullstheplague

M-Mundane?

Hello.

I, ah, I hope I'm not...being...a bother. I mean, I just -

I just -

I'm...sort of...alone. And I...I j-just was hoping that m-maybe, I c-could....

[He shrinks even further into himself.]

N-not a game, though, no, I...

I don't belong....

Anywhere.

notglitching

[Oh, come on, mun. It's not snerking. It's just. Amusement. That happens to be very, very audible. Almost like his rumble-growl, though if you wanted that, you'll have to talk to the other version. (He's popcorning from two rows back.) ]

I thought you left the stabbing to us.

[Rinzler shakes his head, though the smirk doesn't fade. Someone really doesn't care about your nerdrage, user. And is entirely too smug about how little a certain TV show affects him.]

Don't care if you 'expected more'. Won't change. Besides, you don't even tag it canon.

[Now go finish his app.]

doublezeta_top

Aniki! It is not everyone that will be excited for your discovery.

Not is it the fault of a country for such a discovery. The grandness of this finding is only in your mind. I do not dissuade you from sharing it, but do not expect the masses to share your joy.

madeofthis

Oh, please. As if you'd go anywhere seriously with me. As if you could! The only way you'd get around your little promise you made to yourself, would be to get rid of your little princess friend in lieu of me.

[ His tone suddenly sours. ]

And there's no way that'd happen, now would it?

I thought so.

Did you like our little "chat" last night? Good. It certainly wasn't the worst, nor was it the last either. There's plenty more in store for you, and your other frilly excuses for friends.

muichimotsu

Tch.

Don't you have anything better to be doing?

3_butterflies

What's a "Fluttercord"? It kind of sounds like a new type of cloth... Is it something for Rarity to sew?

... "Discoshy'? Is that a new dance? Maybe Pinkie Pie knows it.

thegreatergood

Maybe you're wrong, mun. Maybe you're wrong and everybody else is right about me.

placeintheworld

We don't have any control over their registration system. At all.

That's not white hat or black hat territory that's who the fuck knows territory and what we call in business, a bad investment.

So no, I don't think that selling your soul to attempt a professional registration badge for a five day trip to overweight, obsessed with fictional characters, boys and girls who play with toys and dress up in costume while doing it land is a wise idea.

Besides, where would you get a goat and a chicken? You'd need at least two to make that happen.

[After updating information]

...You can't sell it to your best friend just because she managed to make it work. It won't be legally binding here. Yes handshake deals are legal in California but - hey, Come on..

gleans

Man, if you want my opinion? I think you should slow it down to one track until you get shit figured out. Like... turning off the water until the sink drains, y'know? Like -- everything was awesome when you started up again cuz there wasn't this crazy-ass backlog. Unload, girl. I'm not the problem.

black_bird

Yeah, yeah. I know it sucks that my show was cancelled after ten episodes, but there's really not much that can be done about it. That was, what, two years ago? Don't think I'll be experiencing any comebacks anytime soon, or at all. But, hey, you can go and do that headcanon thing you like so much to come up with ideas for what happens after or something.

Just you know...

Nothing embarrassing. That's all I ask.

Please?

akito

Mun!

Everything is crazy enough already, and you have so much homework to do, ne? You should just focus on that instead!

There are lots of other things you can do if you're bored... Just leave us out of it, okay?

moonandstar

Wow, wouldn't you know it? You've actually started. Took you long enough.

You know, it would have been easy to just start in the same place everyone else does. Nobody would have missed it. Did anybody care who I was before I put on that ring and killed that god? No. In two hundred years, not even the Dunmer will remember my real name.

But no, you just had to bring me in before I came to Morrowind. You just had to tell your version of my whole life's story, didn't you? One godsdamn month I sat collecting dust - for two measly journal posts. And handing me off to some crusty old drillmaster who's obviously compensating for something isn't endearing you to me, either.

There's such a thing as trying too hard, f'lah.

changelingdude

Oh...so this is what Survivor's Guilt feels like.

Not cool.

kurousagi

I'm really happy that you decided to choose me, Kuro Usagi, to play with, but I have some firm rules!

1. Nothing sexual!
2. No pulling on my ears!
3. I mean it, nothing sexual at all!

You're gonna play sexual things with me anyway, aren't you? I just know it..

notpetersteele

Yeah, so...Uh...What the hell do you call these fucking psychos? Mun? Mum? Screw that.

Listen, I don't think this is going to be very...Financially beneficial for either of us. I mean, you're whatever you are and I...

This just isn't working for me, so, uh...

You're fired.

Good talk, though! Good talk. I feel like we made some progress.

wolfofmidgard

Oh, so, we're actually going to do this?

You're going to send me to a place with a bunch of (sentient) dragons? Not that it seems so bad.

While I can't say that I really mind, you need to get busy. You have, what, seven hundred and thirteen years of history to write? I'll just be over here, with the popcorn.

myteenagedivalife

Mun, Mun! Mundaaanee-saaaaannn.

What are you doing? Get back to your reading right now! I know you don't want to do it but it's better for you if you do! You can have all the fun later without feeling guilty. So go back to your homework and no whining!

arlen

So what am I supposed to do now?

Go back home? I know the shit you've got in store for me there. Why the fuck would I want to go back? My wife still hates me, Sam's still dead, and I don't even know how to fit back into that bullshit I used to think was life.

At least Aliunde was a change. It was something different. It was like a fucking second chance and now it's all gone and what do I have to show for it? It's been two damn years. It was like home. Now all I've got are memories of people I'll never get to see again. I'm back at square one. Having time away didn't change shit. It was still my fault.

Fuck this shit.

bringsthefrost

You're the one that keeps doing this to yourself, not me. If you want to keep torturing yourself like this, fine, go ahead, just don't say I didn't tell you so.

Anyway, shouldn't you be working on stuff for camp? I mean apps open later tonight so...

I'll stress this again, it's not going to be my fault if you end up crying again.

Not my fault, okay?

minded

They're going to do what? They can't just cancel us! You need to do something about this! Don't just sit there typing about it and getting mad, you're making me mad just watching you. Go and - I don't know! - go and gather your friends or something, maybe you people can make them change their minds.

("Cause that always works, right?")

Argh--!

[ Be right back, going to flip some tables and throw some chairs into walls or something. Actually ... probably not. Going to go brood is more like it. ]

thirteenth_brat

I had some misgivings when you signed me up for this but... being there to see Riku acting like a dinosaur firsthand? Worth it.

... And tell me you didn't decide to renew my paid time just to have more icons to work with on this. You did, didn't you?

I think I'm too amused with Riku's humiliation right now to really care.

thinnestice

Vell, you are a rather infuriating voman. I haf thought you forgot me.

I must skate and I do not like vaiting. Hurry up баран.

[Note: баран = Russian slang meaning 'dummy']

inordertobelieve

Miss Mundane.

It's fine. You've known all along that this would be happening. It's over now. I can't say I'm glad or that it was peaceful. Far from that.
But that does not mean that it is your duty to worry over it. Beating yourself up over happenings that are not even related to your own world is fairly useless.
What has happened can't be changed... It's over.

Please don't cry, you're almost a grown woman.

Sincerely,
Teru Mikami

flywithspirit

OHMYGOSH.

Mun, really? You'd really give me my own account?

This is so exciting! Even better than going out to find my town - I can't wait to see what kind of people I'll meet!

Can Gigi come, too? Please?

brain_behind_purple

Wha-? Oh, are we starting? Okay, okay. Hey there guys! My name is Donatello, but you can call me Donnie for short. Anyways, I'm a mutant ninja turtle... Yeah, it's a long story.

So my mun is pretty much forcing me to do this because she wants to send me to some City, or something like that. I can never figure her out.

[Feelin' so loved right now...]

She also wants me to talk about myself... Lets see... Well I like to invent stuff and I know ninjutsu. Cool, huh?

[And you have a crush on-!]

Shh! Don't blurt it out like that! Anyways... I guess that's about it. Thanks guys!

stillshinigami

Yeah, I know. You've finally got a name for that game of yours but it's not like it's any closer to being finished. You're spending more time harrassing me than working on it, might want to fix that.

As for everything else, why not expand your little alternate reality thing to include a happy ending? Sure, you let me live. How merciful of you. It's too bad you can't find a Wufei from my neck of the multiverse, but then he's not exactly the same as he was either. Neither is Quatre.

They're the only ones left anyway. So hash out those details, wouldja? And try not to give me any more grief than necessary.

sidescrolling

Oh. You again. Just when I was getting used to some actual peace and quiet around here.

So what, you look through some panels you saved on the laptop and suddenly you want to give me another shot? Some control you have, but I guess that's more of an excuse than you usually give. Here's a suggestion, why don't you put some actual thought and consideration into which game I'm going to end up at this time?

I know your track record, your are taking the time and I am going to give you shit if you don't.

can_i_touch_your_hand

Ah, I believe this is the first time I'm addressing you, so I hope that it's all right. Miss Mundane was it?

Not to impose, but I do believe if you were to pull me from the the Velvet Room it is sure to deter my usual duties. Who will greet the guests if I'm not there? Well, I suppose my dear sister would, but it would be another task for her to do if she's not helping our master.

Though a chance to explore more of the outside world does seem rather tempting.

You've put me in quite the predicament. Perhaps we can come to some sort of understanding...though I am still quite content if you have no plans to place me anywhere. As a velvet room attendant, I shall be here if you need my services by chance, so please don't hesitate to ask me anything

spraypaints

Just because they both sort of wear a red jacket, doesn't mean that this should be their theme song.

Especially Dante's. [Her Dante, that is.] I mean, come on. No matter what you say, there's always going to be the haters. Not even sure why this bothers you now. You just scroll past through the negative reviews when you're looking for something.

...You have to admit, it is catchy.

Now, stop trying to grind for Dante's upgrades and just finish the game already! You just have two more bosses and you're done! I want to know what is it that you keep trying to tell me. [And until she sees it, she's going to deny it. Because it still can't be true]

transcension

A bit of bad timing, don't you think? Haven't played the game in a while, never mind you don't feel confident in--what do you call it? Not my voice, of course not. We've been acquaintances for years. No, it's my accent.

Apparently, you think you do horribly with non-American accents.

Perhaps another game play will help? You have been debating on it for quite some time. Maybe this time, I'll finally believe in what supernatural things are truly happening around me.

Or not. [A slight chuckle before he pushes his glasses higher up the bridge of his nose.] The girl, she'd probably need some help. That was where we left off, I believe. Best get to it, then Mun!

seethelanterns

I know you're a little upset hearing that The Little Mermaid apparently won't be re-released in cinemas in 3D (not that your boyfriend can watch 3D anyway), but maybe it'll still come out on blu-ray so you can replace your old DVD of it later this year?

(Canon is 1789 les amants de la Bastille)

Chérie:

Now that there is no chance to convince you otherwise and you want me to continue the Revolution away from France, find me a place and we'll see if I like it.

Also, that idea is ridiculous.

[And the Amis would surely find this Robespierre ridiculous, but anyhow]

As you said, mine is a different revolution. Even though the principles seem to have not changed that much. And even though you cannot stop talking about those Amis

Solène

best_dad_ever

If you're done crying about events you can't change, perhaps you'd like to get your head back in the game? Even if this is the last big hurrah, I've still got a job to do, and only so much time left to do it.

As long as I get Manta, I don't care about anything else. I've survived battlefields, extended torture and imprisonment, and having kids. A little thing like "cancellation" doesn't mean anything to me.

Crocks are survivors.

rougeofvoid

kujikenai

It's okay, Mun. It's taking a bit more time than expected, but keep at it!

Don't give up! I'm sure if you just keep going, you'll get it exactly the way you want it to!

And then finally, I'll be able to see them again.

maybe_a_king

Miss mun,

Could you please tell me what you mean by 'no matter the universe, Arturia will never escape the obsession of a Gilgamesh'? I do not know who you speak of so would you care to enlighten me on the subject?

Additionally, I would appreciate it if you followed through on this character development you've done for me. I don't want to spend two weeks in the hospital again because I fought an unnecessary battle against an opponent I could not hope to beat, especially as said opponent was apparently in the process of retreating. It is not the right thing to do.

Sincerely,
Arturia Pendragon

hugeparasites

I do not look like a pretty boy elf! Elves aren't even man enough to grow beards!

[Let's just ignore the fact that Kili doesn't have much of a beard at all going for him, certainly not in comparison to his dwarf kin]

How dare you insult me in such a manner, wench!

mini_wesker

No.

I don't care we don't need Wesker there let alone Kennedy or Redfield after all the two of them haven't lifted a hand in the last four years to even find me.

And you know this plan's destined to fail right? I get them away from him he'll still be hunting us, and considering... You're stupid game is going to get the three of us killed!

worsetodie

I know for you it was a decision between her or me, dearie, and since I know you weren't exactly weighing which of the two of us might be more inconvenienced when stolen, I'm beginning to suspect you chose me because you somehow thought I was in greater need of having my time wasted.

No, excuse me, I've deliberately misquoted you: What I meant to say was "in greater need of 'redemption'."

Assuming I'm right, why would you want her there as well?

manther

Nope mun, still just as bummed as you that the Amazing Saga of Me has yet to continue. But I suppose if you're willing to maybe give that new game a chance then I guess I can try and give that new kid a chance too. I mean he's still a bratty little punk, but Nero's a bratty little punk too and I like that kid just fine when he'd not flipping out.

And once upon a time in the wild days of my youth I was a bratty little punk too.

[ Actually he's still a brat. ]

Plus that new kid has some pretty nice looking toys that I wanna play with.

determinedly

Of course it's not perfect. Nothing is. But...I still had to do it. I'm not asking you to understand.

gotwould

Hey to you too again, baby. Miss me much?

Pretty bad of you to leave a lady all alone and bored with no one to play with or even any toys. Then again men are like toys aren't they?

Thinkin' about sending me back to that Ink City again? I think I'll pass on that one. It's not that much different from where I'm from, plus I get pretty bored easily. I like having an active lifestyle if you know what I mean. Entertainment, baby.

I crave attention. You can't deny me that and no one denies Holli Would.

spearsurfing

There is little need to be concerned about Eve's inventory. By your definition of my abilities, I will have all that I need accessible to me when needed. A smaller supply of material will not be an issue. Creating more metal for Nasod weapons will not be overly difficult for me. As the Queen of Nasods, it is one of Eve's specialties. However, I have heard Raven is having trouble due to the length of his weapon exceeding the dimension limits. I will offer my assistance, if he does not mind. I am sure I could improve upon the design of his sword. I will gladly extend my offer to the others as well.

Eve will also require more information on this Tower. If there is anyone who can provide me with more detailed information, I would appreciate it.

lordofthecastle

My dear writer, I understand that giving me a name is not in your plans, but I'm sure that you can find something...else to call me while I'm here. Wouldn't "the vampire" be much better? That is how you usually call me, after all.

[Except there's like a million vampires outside of my head?]

Well, of course, but you can't deny that it wouldn't make me look as bad as this. Please, reconsider your decision.

workwithwhatwehave

[Someone has been putting up with this for awhile.]

Look, I'm going to be straight with you. [deep breath] It's bad enough you've shanghaied half of my employees into this pitiful excuse for a hobby. You know how important our work is. Having my controllers sitting on their asses while we're trying to save the world isn't going to do anyone any good.

[long pause]...I don't want to befriend anyone. I want to get back and do my job.

...Buffy? [pause, and then a sense of real unease.] Look, I get that you think gathering a bunch of final girls would be funny. Virgins together makes for a tempting target. [seriously Buffy?] But it's not my job to befriend them. It's my job to slaughter them while their friends watch.

Get it through your head.

eternallywithoutfear

Well, I suppose it would have been too much to ask for you to dust me off a little more thoroughly before applying? No? I thought not.

Although while you are here and listening to me, there are ground rules to set. I understand that you treat the man you already have at this game very poorly; I won't tolerate it happening to me. I'm certain you know that, but sometimes these things must be spelled out, and I'd prefer there be no room for misunderstanding.

Are we at agreement? Excellent. I'm glad we had this discussion. So long as we respect one another, this will go well, won't it?

[She smiles and claps her hands together once.] Now then! We have that settled. I would love to know more about the 'game' I am going to, if you would please. What are the people like? French? English? Aristocrats? Peasantry? Do tell; I'm positively dying from curiosity! And I should really prepare myself for whomever I may be interacting with, should I not? I hope masquerades are still in style. It's always such fun to not know who one is speaking with!

unexpected_adventures

Spiders, zombies, wraiths? You want to send me....where? No. Now, come on! This is getting ridiculous and you know it. I thought we had an understanding of one another. I like to believe we can uphold that relationship and not go off gallivanting on one of your mad moments. Fun? How can sending me into a place crawling with horrors be....fun?

Monstrous. I already told you, I have an oath to keep and I've signed the contract. I am a burglar now. I belong with Thorin and his company not in one of these so called "games" you keep thinking about.

Nope. Sorry. I am going to help Thorin and the others complete the quest. Whatever would Gandalf say? He'd be ashamed of you for sure. I need...I need a cup of tea and a sit down right now I think.

Current Mood: cranky

headbuttinggretel

So you throw me at a bunch of memes and hope for the best. A-plus work there, mun.

If I didn't already know better I'd say you were a witch, because that's just ... ugh, I'm not even going to call it sadistic because you don't even have that much to you.

Why don't you just reply to some of the tags you've got waiting for the others and leave me out of it?

ruby_roses

[Ruby is currently inspecting what appears to be a silver handgun.]

Okay, so, in the time it takes for me to get a proper back-story and motivation, you want me to be one of these 'Persona-user' people? And what kind of crap gun is this? There's no ammunition, there's no place to put ammunition, nothing. You couldn't kill a bunny with this thing.

[She pauses as the Mun tries to explain something.]

No. Screw that, and screw you while we're at it. I don't care if you couldn't kill a bunny with it, I'm not putting that thing against my head and pulling the trigger. Knowing the kind of sickos you muns are, there's probably one in the chamber, and you're just trying to get me to shoot myself.

[She puts a hand on the device at her side.] Do I need to have Rose put her two-cents in on the matter? Yeah, thought not.

eldritchcandy

Hello, Miss Mundane.

May I help you with something?

...

Why did you pick this username for me? I don't get it.

I swear I don't.

shutupdib

Hey.

What game is that?

[Cripes where did you come from. It's called The Binding of Isaac; you'd like it.]

Well it's better than you watching dumb shows about ninjas all day. Can I play?

[I dunno Gaz, can you let me app you to Whispering Rock?]

Rrrrgh...

[Do it and I'll give you access to my Steam account.]

Fine! I'll go to the stupid summer camp, okay? Now give me the controls before I change my mind and dunk your hard drive in soda instead.

[Deal!]

caringwarrior

I'd be more flattered ~~favorite muse, my ass~~ if you didn't do things like this to me.

You know full well what will happen to me. [frown]

You're heartless. [Your mun is sorry Tifa! She really does feel bad about doing this to you ;n;/]

I'm not very inclined to believe you.

backhands

[ Speaking with a light French accent and with plenty of condescension and irritation. ]

Don't you even fucking begin, you can toy around with all with the rest of your peculiar little cabal, but I am off limits. I have far better things to be doing with my time than catering to your changeable whims, such as doing my job. [ ... ] Do shut up, I care about my career more than enough. Ninth seed at Roland Garros this year- it is a step up from tenth.

[ Scoffing, ]

I am so done with this.

emeraldpapa

notquitecookies

Right, so. Let me count the ways this is a bad idea - oh wait, I can't, because there aren't enough fingers in the world to deal with this.

What makes you think this could ever work? You can't even decide on a canon point. You can barely decide what to have for breakfast!

Quitting while you're not ahead is the only sane choice. Trust me, I'm a Slayer.

fightingsmall

I know you're all excited, and so am I! We beat the Skrulls! We saved the world! But there's still so much left for you to see. The Kree are still out there, T'Challa's still in Wakanda, and I know you know your friendly neighborhood favorite is in the next episode.

[Plus Hank is still out there.]

Yes, shut up. He can do what he wants, the stinker.

greatcleavage

Can we just stop taking me away from my own adventure for a while?

I think we have issues.
