It's nice to see that you're so enthusiastic, Mundane, but maybe you should take it easy. It wouldn't hurt to think things through before you make any rash decisions. You want to send me to that school where Charlie is, right? It'd be nice, but don't rush into it. I don't have to remind you of the last couple times you reserved characters on a whim, do I?

Don't get me wrong, I'd still like to go, but... maybe you should think it over a little better, first.

mediary

For the record, I could totally be a camp counselor if I wanted to be! I'm smart. Responsible. Apparently an awesome psychic genius. I'm a great role model!

[....................]

Stop looking at me like that. Alright, look, as much as I love your taste in ""alternate universes"" [airquotes included], and I really, really hope you can feel my sarcasm, this one's not so bad. I'm kinda diggin' the idea of Psychonauts: The Real Life. There's just one thing missing from this decently perfect equation and that's Scott. And Lydia. And actually, like ninety percent of Beacon Hills.

So c'mon, hop to it. I dunno who you're expecting me to charm out here.

~~-Stiles~~
-~~Junior~~ Counselor Stiles Stilinski

PS: If you're going to keep bitching about the pictures of my face thing then maybe, just maybe, you should actually fork over the $3 to buy a paid account. C'mon, look at this face. I totally deserve it.

sanspere

Please release me, Mlle. Mun. I have been under someone's hand all my life, I should like to feel some freedom.

... Yes, even if a single song inspired you to pick me up.

staycool

A world without the Taboo Index, huh...

Mun, I apologize for speaking out of turn like this, but don't you think that's too extreme? Without absolute rules, surely people would abuse that freedom. That place isn't called a "horror game" without reason, right?

I'm not a strong person; not like Kirito. If he saw someone getting hurt, he would definitely save them, but I -- [ He casts his eyes downwards, clearly ashamed. ]

Please reconsider, mun.

spraypaints

[ ... ]

...I [ She honestly doesn't know where to begin. ] I guess you're right. I am disappointed.

asimovsfire

Oh hey, it's been a while.
Okay, I never really went anywhere, but being allowed to get out and about again is nice.
Even if I'm not holding my breath on being allowed to run free for very long.
For someone who's expressed a desire to find voices from other canons, you sure do keep coming back to this one.
The opinions of others matter to you.
I get that.
But if you don't do what you want to do, you're not going to enjoy yourself either way.
Haters gonna hate, and other such encouraging memes I'd rather not spew out ad nauseam.

n_o

It's true that I'm grateful for the new screentime I have been provided, but seeing as I was the first Protocol Omega captain sent to Mugen Prison... I don't entirely see how I deserve being brought back to help the rest.

pothos

Ah... ehm... mundane?

Such an awkward thing to call someone...

Well, I didn't make it up so I suppose I can't be blamed.

You know, people... people aren't, as a general rule, happy to see me. At least not if they know I'm me. What I mean is, perhaps it would be best if, if, if I um... remained an unseen force? Don't you think?

... No?

Suppose it might feel good to some to have someone to blame.

[ Being the personification of yearning for unattainable things is so much fun. ]

sokasm

So, you wanna take me on, huh? Great, great. I’m sure that’ll go just fine, considering you haven’t even finished rewatching the series yet.

[A sigh.]

Seriously, what’s a guy gotta do to get a normal, quiet life around here anyway? C'mon, don’t look at me like that. I’ve heard the stories about you people! I live here now so you can make me miserable, right? Why else would these other people in your brain be such grouches?

Besides, even if you don’t put me in terrible situations, then I’ll just end up forgotten and have to hang out in your head forever! I’ve heard of your… flaky flakiness. Which is probably better than some of the alternatives, but I don’t know if I like the guys I have to room with here. They won’t stop complaining!

…What? I’m just telling it how it is.

reins

Well. This seems like something of a thankless task, but given that I haven't the time or inclination to expend the disproportionate effort it would likely take to dissuade you, please do continue.

I only ask you not make a fool of the both of us. If not for your own sake, then for the sake of the security of my invitation to the garden party at Buckingham this year. The conduct of a certain individual I'm loathe to announce but whose name I'm certain you can take a decent guess at has left my welcome dangling on a tentative thread, and while I go about repairing that damage I'd appreciate no external factors lean in to tip the balance out of my favour.

I missed it last year, you see. Korea. You know.

Good luck, then.

4n631

What!? Why!!? Why would you even consider bringing that person in under ANY capacity! Let alone on the opposing team! That's awful. That's just awful! You are being awful to me. Why? Just...[there is a frustrated grumbling noise and then an exhale]

Well whatever. He's not coming. So...so I don't have to worry right?

...

right?

schattenmagier

With everything you focus on. You've decided to focus on my wine glass.

bulletpoint

Stop fantasising about it and just stab her in the neck already. Not saying you have to kill her, just -- [ points out a non-vital spot on his throat with two fingers ] -- right there. Send her a fucking memo.

misshungaria

Now, now, darling.

[The smallest but bravest muse of her company speaks for the first time ever.]

You mustn't worry yourself, dear. Everything will be fine. If you worry too much about all the "what ifs", you'll end up with wrinkles in no time! So please don't fret.

[At the mention of these said wrinkles, Bianca's quick to flip out her mirror add a little bit of blush upon her fuzzy cheeks. A lady must always look her best after all.]

At this rate you'll become just as much of a worry-wart as Bernard.

offbeet

While living on the back of a gigantic tortoise is slightly more interesting than Ottery St. Catchpole, I must admit I'm disappointed it's not like Discworld. I did greatly enjoy reading those over your shoulder, you know.

But it will be nice to go somewhere new. Do you happen to know what gigantic tortoises like to eat? I am thinking carrots would be a safe option, though I don't know how feasible it will be to harvest food on its own back. If animals could do that, I imagine there would be far less carnivores in the forest.

chasedlaurels

No. I have only met one incarnation of Apollo of whom I approve for kisses and touches and cuddles. There shall be no more "Apollo-hunting", as you call it.

Now find me Eros. I want to stab that little "cherub" in the wings before his blessed holiday gets here.

breakofday

I do not understand how you can forgive so readily. If anyone were to deny me a chance to speak, I would have their hands as paperweights, at the very least.

scatteredflowers

So I can't stay in Trampoli.

[Promises to avoid war or horror have to count for something, right?

...Right?]

Heh...

I'll be lost no matter what.

[Well, that's depressing. Any requests?]

Storms destroy the crops. We go hungry...but the storm doesn't know what it's done.

[...Thanks.]

There's nothing that I want. I just need to be alone and work.

[I'll keep that in mind.]

nuages

I'm afraid I do not understand what exactly your plans for me are, but I pray that they do not send me off too far.

lovesignmasterspark

Pffft. C'mon, mun, ya can't be that frustrated with th' app. Just make some tweaks to th' old personality ya wrote for me, make it look nice an' all. Hell, ya could even re-write it with th' new ideas ya came up with after readin' that other Marisa's personality. Y'said you were gonna get ideas and cues from it, right?

Jus' keep goin' and don't stop 'til it's done, 'k? I don't want ya to have to break yer promise to get me into there for Alice.

.... pffft, competition? What competition, mun?

anoldfriend

Well.

This will certainly be a most, ah, rewarding venture, won't it? If one can call it that.

[He's not sure if he's amused or not by this revelation as to what the setting entails.]

linktotwilight

Oh, so you DO remember about me, right mundane?, now you better actually do something about it 'cause I've been BORED AS HELL!!

[---]

I hope you didn't forget we had an agreement here.

[---]

Oh, you did?

TOOO BAAAAAAAD

realityrunaway

What's this? You see a few minutes of the film and you want me to come out and play again? It's been years you know. I've grown up a bit since last time. I've got school, work, boyfriends! I don't have time for all these make believe games.

...

[laughs] I'm only joking, you know. I fooled you though, didn't I?

Well, if we're going to do anything, you really should watch the movie again. The whole movie. You won't be much good if you can only remember bits and pieces. Once you've done that I think we could make plans. I've heard there are some pretty interesting things out there.

phasing_cat

Mun, I know you are excited that I am going to be in the next X movie, but take a minute to think about this. I've grown up a lot since the last one, in which they put me in the most ridiculous love triangle in the history of mutantkind. What if you don't like the way I'm portrayed in this one either? And yes, the Days of Future Past comic arc was epic I will give you that. But need I remind you of the way the Phoenix story was brutalized in X3? I didn't think so.

Check the nerdgasm, k? You're scaring me.

Current Mood: worried

asinglemote

My lady, no. This is a fool's errand - and believe me when I say, I know a thing or two about fool's errands. My place is at home, in Terre d'Ange; not aboard a ship that sails the sky, nor a city of depravity. The things I want - the things I must do - I will do of my own power, in time.

--What about Hyacinthe? My lady, you are too cruel, even for me. If you know ought of what's to come, you should not keep me in the dark. We both know what favors that has done me.

gone_mangy

It's very nice of you, Mun, to bring me over here just to talk to her. But you know that isn't going to be the end of it, don't you? You're one of mine as much as dear Alice, and you know I've never really left you, or you wouldn't have been so ready to bring me here in the first place.

It's going to be nice to get to stretch my legs again, so to speak.

scott_w_pilgrim

You didn't even ask if I was interested. Totally not fair. I wanted to be a super secret agent too.

spinningcurses

Well done! You finally finished the application.

Now you just have to wait a few days before you can submit it. Just be a little patient and it'll seem to go by faster. Besides, don't you have another app to work on too?

whistles_the_blues

I've been there for a month and I lost an arm and a leg, some paradise.

[You got better.]

That doesn't mean it had to happen in the first place. You're being careless with me, stop it.

anti_ventrue

This isn't funny anymore, and I've never found this particularly amusing to begin with.

Get with the program, find me someplace worthwhile, and stop procrastinating! Christ, it's like I'm trying to get through to one of the interns, or worse, Mail Room workers.

hourglass_vision

Perhaps this rise in activity bodes well. Likely not.

So long as I might continue my studies and research ... it matters not.

sittingweird

Oh, come on, mun! Your whinings are really annoying me now... yes, THAT's going to happen but I'd be more worried about Derpy's complete absence from the show than... you-know-what.
The show isn't completely ruined, we both knew Hasbro wasn't going to stay quiet and enjoy his already high sales, they wanted to sell more. Gee... at least we still don't have humans in equestria. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but that'd be the final step to have bronies leaving the fandom.

Anyway, let's talk about happier things: I'm actually glad you applied me and I'm happy as well to see I've been accepted, kinda... now it's time to worry about me, isn't it? Come on, Mun, you always wanted to play me!

looktothewesternsky

...you really didn't have to do that.

tartanisstylish

I'm afraid that, though it may never be as effortless as it was, you and I, I shan't be leaving you any time soon. In any case, is effort such a bad thing? We both know that time isn't.

It's not as though I have anywhere urgent to be in the immediate future, by the way. I'm more than happy where I am.

lost_her_head

So we're doing this after all. I'd hoped this time to think would see you change your mind but apparently that was too optimistic of me.

I won't argue. What would be the point? But I'm still not convinced this is as good idea as you think it is. Not when many of your plans require me getting my powers back.

I suppose I should just enjoy the two days I have before you can send in that application to make my life a living hell. Please try not to bother me about it too much until then.

swaggerelf

I suppose you find some sort of amusement in this name you picked out for me? I don't quite understand the meaning behind such a term. What is this 'swagger'? Are you referring to the splendor and majesty of my appearance?

exautomata

...We are most pleased with your efforts. We understand that you miss us, and we understand that we have to try extra hard to fit in and not repeat... everything so far but... But we are excited. And a little afraid.

We had almost forgotten what it was to be ...regarded as different by those that do not understand us both in canon and in our experiences with you, but we are certain that we will feel that sadness again. We do not have the Admiral, or our brother to speak with. But we have our dearest friends. For that...

... we are so grateful. Really.

takesyoubytheheart

... Oh boy.

Listen, I know I can't change yer mind about these kinda things, but, uh, could we do somethin' that's a little... um... easier ta fix, afterwards?

...

...

Minnie's gunna kill me.

kandescence

Who in the hell are you calling a good psychoanalytic subject? What the hell is that supposed to mean?!

[Well, Kanda, it is illuminating, if you think about it. And look, there's Freud right up at the top corner of the page, and--]

Don't make me punch you.

[Look, don't get all fussy. I'd prefer to be moving on by now, you know. It's not like I don't have other material to cover. I'm only trying to figure out the right things to say. I thought we had an understanding.]

Tch. Whatever. Just get on with it. I'm sick of you dwelling on my past like this.

caladcholg

Hello again to you as well, mundane. It has been quite some time, has it not?

If I may, perhaps that we should become reacquainted with each other again, given the time period again.

whythistho

... Ugh. Mundane, just looking at your workload is making me exhausted.
And I'm not the one who's supposed to be working!
Are you sure this is all a good idea, and not a huge mistake?

I'd really enjoy a game - I would, especially a rather tame one like you're planning! - but with all of your other plans on top of it! That's quite the precarious tower you're building!

[...]

... You are right, though - there sure is enough of... me to go around, despite how that sounds.

[So many Garrys.]

ladyspiderlegs

So the first thing you have me do is to pick a fight with Arcee?

I like how you think, Mundane. Now if only I can kill her...

[With any luck she and her mundane may even get along.

Haha no.

It's a nice thought though.]

bruiserprincess

This is getting out of hand. Now there's two of them. Like I didn't have enough trouble keeping one teenaged boy that's constantly losing his pants out of trouble.

murderyourmarker

Yeah, you're excited, I know. Everybody knows. Geez, almost wish I had your enthusiasm.

But hey, far as I'm concerned? I just wanna get off that damn planet in one piece. With Ellie intact if I can. And Carver? Guy can take care of himself. I've just had about enough of this shit with these Markers.

[Oh yeah...]

And while I'm here, don't go thinking about putting me somewhere again. My "bad ideas" haven't got shit on yours.

smoothlike

First off, gotta say I'm honored to be your first venture on the right side of the war. We're gonna get along just fine.

Second; what's that supposed to mean, "against your better judgement"? Really sounds like Optimus' team could use the back-up, 'specially after that whole thin' with the rescue mission you told me about. I'd be down with it.

[...]

Hey now, I'm not the destructive sort. You've got no reason to be fussin' about sending me there. And 'sides, you're not 100% on the idea, so ain't no shame in deciding not to in the end. Ain't no rush in decidin' right now, either.

grandepioggia

Vooii... Bringing me back is one thing, but wanting to send me somewhere new and keep my memories from there? I'd ask you to just send me back if you were planning on doing that, but doesn't look like it would last long enough to be worth consideration now. You're too late already, don't even fucking bother. Vegas is dying, even that friend of yours believes it.

Consider your choices before making stupid decisions because if I have to pay the price for you'll bullshit, I'll kill you.

friendshipismurder

I don't want to go to some ugly human village! Even if it is all nice and burnt up I wasn't the one to do it! What's even left for me there, huh?

Oh.

Well Finn going there isn't enough!

Okay. Yes. It is enough.

But I still don't like it! The first person we find there better be extra helpless, like a baby!

opinionates

Dearest -- Mun,

You who are chronicling my life, such as it is. Surely reviewing the movie and the book is more than enough to regain some semblance of my voice. I do not think the miniature series would add anything you can't read for yourself.

Aside from watching Mister Darcy walk out of a pond in drenched clothing.

We can discuss potential ramifications of that later, and whether or not to flesh out my, ah, cinematic canon with the novel once you've finished reading it.

Yours,
E. Bennet

betch

OHMIGOD WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?

You're dropping me in this party when there's no one even around! WHO DOES THAT???? Don't you know the only people that come out at this hour are total creepers and shetbags? I don't care if they're fictional characters, they're gonna be all up in this and I don't even have like a taser or wikipedia or whatever. I mean, what am I supposed to do if some hottie from Las Misterahblehs shows up-- I don't speak French names.

Maybe that's why nobody likes you, betch. Work on your timing and text me when you're ready to get serious.

Christ.

mayest

thanks for giving me a new look.

does this mean i'll get out more often? [a solemn shake of his head, because he already knows the answer to that. cal knows how short his mun's attention span is and how easily distracted she is. he's got two, perhaps three weeks tops before he goes back in the recesses of her brain. it's not as if this is the first time he's been ignored in favour of another, but that doesn't make it any easier.]

larks

If you were ever wondering, "how far is too far?" ...

I would say that this is just -- beyond anything you've ever come up with, for me. ~~(Who else can harmonize at the drop of a hat?)~~

surpriserainbows

Hey boss, look.

I'm happy and all that you thought I was worth picking up as a muse but what are we even going to do here? I mean there's not really any place I can go and I gotta be honest I'm not sure there's any place here I'd want to go.

Games at the moment aren't really something on my mind, you know? I'd rather just kind of be alone and try not to think about what pony hell is going to be like too much.

chainsofhonor

[ He has a small smirk on his face, barely noticeable.]

I wasn't expecting you to return after so long, I had grown quite pleased with being placed upon "the shelf". Aye, I was quite comfortable with the break.

However, I do understand that you are a man of many whims and I am not quiet surprised that I would be placed into the front lines again. Aye, I almost feel excited for a new adventure, but I do have one simple request...

..wherever you may place me, I only ask that you do so with full commitment, I would rather not be toyed with in this situation.

theoldgirl

How am I supposed to approve of this at all? I can barely survive in that universe, and that is entirely disregarding the fact that I will perish if I am cut off from the Doctor this drastically. Yes, I am glad you were able to inspire the appearance of at least one incarnation of his, and he will certainly ease the strain, but he is not even one current to me, let alone mine. You know what I mean to convey. Was crippling and stranding me without my Doctor once not enough for you? I can see that you miss interactions between me and beings who aren't him, and I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment, but at this cost?

You are no better than the Doctor when he gets it into his head to override my judgement and will, and I am no more favorably disposed towards you for it.

revengingly

You know I was in the middle of something important, so of course I'm going to be in a bad mood when you pull me away from it.

What do you even hope to accomplish by bringing me here now?

... I have no time for pointless sentimentality.

I think we have issues.
