Mar. 19th, 2013

It's a good thing that you thought over the situation twice before you clicked that button. This is neither the time nor the place for a sudden decision regarding a game, especially when you have so much to do as it is.

Besides. You're hardly qualified to be my partner.

...

Stop thanking me for this.

flower_power

Um, excuse me? Mun?

It's not that I don't appreciate everything you want to do for me, it's just... well....

Are you really sure that's the best place for me? Mother would be furious. And... and I think she might be right. It doesn't really sound safe. And, as nice as it would be not to have to worry so much about my hair... it's part of me. This power... it's part of me. And it's what makes me... special. [She starts finger combing a small section that she pulls over her shoulder, nervously.]

Besides, it's almost my birthday. Couldn't you, oh, wait another few months? Or years, maybe?

brand_of_disgrace

Wait. Let me get this straight.

Clockwork Princess came out today. You have work to do getting icons for Zephyr.

And yet, it's me, the original character, that you're fiddling with? It's MY application you're done with? Or is that only because it was mostly done already?

...You realize that I don't remember EVER having been in a game before, right? Ugh. Anyway, I still think you should've brought Alec in and not Jem... Poor Magnus won't have anyone to be irritable with.

Speaking of being irritable, is Leo gonna be there? ...Please?

persistent_humanity

Why on Earth would you do a thing like that?

It's not that I'm ungrateful by any means -- I do appreciate the gift, but we both know the likelihood of me getting much use out of it, especially lately. And honestly, one hundred icon slots? I sincerely doubt that a hundred pictures even exist of me during the time you've chosen to take me from.

Still, I will admit that it is a nice distraction from my current workload. Though to be fair, a root canal would be a welcome alternative to that.

Regardless, thank you for your generosity. It was a lovely way to start the week.

misanthropes

WHAT IS THIS? WHO ARE YOU? AND WHERE ARE MY BOOKS?

lt_saavik

Yes the time frame has been short, but I see no reason for further delay. You have demonstrated an adequate grasp of the general interactions of my people, you display a moderate level of knowledge and you have proven yourself capable in replicating my personality through words. There is no logical reason to not proceed or why such progress such be hampered.

I believe the term you are looking for in your current vernacular is 'that escalated quickly.'

ex_inflamer908

Don't.

Screw those thoughts. You're not dragging me off to some prison no matter what you call it. You might be trying to slack on your work but I'm too deep to just disappear. You think I've killed people? Imagine how many will die without all I do.

I'm not playing along, especially if you're talking some hell without my mutation. I'm not living as a baseline.

willas_tyrell

[Willas sits in his study in his favorite chair looking at the fireplace, a cup of wine in his hand.]

Of all the Kings in this bloody war, I'd have liked to see Robb Stark win, he and of course Renly. I couldn't help but feel that if he slew Joffrey, justice would be done, and you all know what a hopeless romantic I am when it comes to such things. He seemed a capable ruler too, if a bit young and inexperienced. I expect the North and the South could have been staunch allies, even if not one kingdom, under Robb and Renly.

And now they are both dead. [He takes a sip of wine.] Renly killed by one of his guard, and Robb betrayed and murdered by one of his sworn bannermen, under protection of all the laws of hospitality. He should have known better than to make the mistakes he did ... but it does not excuse this .... atrocity.

They didn't just slay the King-in-the-North, but his mother, most of his host, ... even the fucking wolf is dead.

Twyin Lannister made Walder Frey the lord of Riverrun and Roose Bolton Warden of the North for their parts in this. The three most heinous murderers of modern Westeros are it's most powerful lords. And yes, I rank Lord Tywin far below the Kingslayer. Jaime Lannister may be a prick and an oathbreaker, but at least he had the common fucking decency to slay a paranoid madman, who may I add was doomed to die anyway.

[The normally calm and amiable Willas seems more and more agitated as he goes on. You can tell in the white-knuckled grip he has on his walking stick that his rage is not spent, and he has yet more to say, but he bides his tongue, at least for now. His grip loosens, and he sighs, slumping back in to his chair.]

And so the war for the Iron Throne ends. [He takes a sip of the wine.] Yes, Stannis has some men left, but nowhere near enough troops nor resources to do anything more than give Tywin Lannister a weekend's work. The war is won for King Joffrey. [He drains his cup of wine before bitterly adding] Long may he reign.

invisible_friendship

You're not sending me to that mad house [tower] ran by a bunch of nut jobs with collar fetishes!

[What if this is worse than Bakura's Tabletop Roleplay Game? He's had enough near-death experiences to last him a life time.]

AND It says there's monsters! [No, no, no, no!]

echoofeurydices

Dear Mun,

I'm scared. I don't want to go to a city of Sin where I don't know anyone and all of these wicked things happen to people. I'm nothing special. I don't have any powers or skills to combat such adversity. I'm just... well, I'm just me. What's this you say? There is more to me than I know? I don't know what you could be referring to. How could I have some connection a Greek myth? The story of Orpheus and Eurydice? It is one of my favorite ballets, but what does that have to do with me?

You are asking me to trust you and that I will be okay. Do you know how hard that is? Alright, I'll give it a try.

tothefightingend

I appreciate your hard work, mundane. But the fact of the matter is that most places would probably be reluctant to let me take my Pokemon with me like you desire. Personally, I agree with the games on this. It isn't fair I be allowed to bring in back up when the rest of the people there can't. That would basically be cheating and that's something I just don't do.

Yes, you're nervous about putting me somewhere without my team. I understand that. They're a part of me, my family away from home, and I wouldn't enjoy the separation either. What I don't think you realize is that with Team Galactic defeated, Dialga safely contained, and the Championship behind me, this is the safest time to take me and put me somewhere. There's no looming threat back home that needs every able bodied trainer to tend to it. For the moment, there's peace.

So I'm ready to do this whenever you are. Just let me know when.

Current Mood: contemplative

tharja

You're insisting on something you'll regret.

You can't control me like some second-rate possession hex. I'm more than you can handle.

My "friends" aren't exactly out seeking me, so why are you going through the trouble of throwing me around to find a good "home"? I need practice dummies, not acquaintances.

Unless you can find those, this will be a waste of time.

starkingenuity

So glad you dusted me off. No, no, really. I'm all for space zombies and bunny girls with big guns but do you think you could have taken me from a point before Sargeant Antlers tossed me through the window of a skyscraper? Because. Um. Ow?

Glass doesn't just dislodge itself, okay?

reversedpolarity

I know what you're plannin', an' the answer's no. Bad enough you get me cursed, bad enough I'm no' even bloody human anymore. All fun an' games for you, aye, oh, look at Scott, look at well he's doin', look at how happy he is, time t'make him damn well suffer.

"It's only fire and silver that kills them", is it? Don't think I've no' noticed you complainin' no one in Jack bloody Harkness's canon knows the difference between "can't die" an' "can't stay dead". Look, love, you know what else Jack bloody Harkness can't do? Stay injured. I'd really rather no' test the limits o' "can't die" when I know damn well I'll no' be healin' any quicker'n normal.

Piss. Off.

darkful

Suppose you did find a game for me. What of it then? I have...little to no experience of other worlds. It could prove advantageous to a degree. But you know me, hah, always in it for the ride. So tell me when you've made up your mind, hm? I'll have to be sure that they approve as well of course.

justicereigns

Let me get this straight:

Rather than give me a canon update in both places and go sit yourself down and take screencaps to make icons, you're thinking of giving me a tooth infection in both places.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You know someone who wasn't purposely being evil and missed my birthday might get me some cigars. Or at minimum, you could go with white flowers to be mocking. But no, instead you want to give me a reason to need a chewtoy.

I hate you.

Yes, just as much as the brass right now. Go to your room.

flurryofsnow

So you're actually thinking about me again, huh? And not in terms of 'gee, let's see how badly we can screw Axel over'? Gotta say, it's pretty good to be remembered, rather than just pushing me aside for the Xehanorts. (The kid's alright but the girl just won't stop looking at me like some sort of lab rat. It gets old.)

Still, this is all pretty cool. New friends, new powers, and you know - those glasses do kinda suit me. I finally get to get my head together and work out who I am, get a heart (...don't quote 3D at me, you know what I mean), see everyone's hearts from the inside... strange how things work out, huh? Shadows, hearts, cards... it all ends up coming down to the same things. Mystical guys in the head's new, though.

... just a shame it's not in a game, isn't it? Like anywhere'd take anyone except the old firebug. Ah, well. I can cope.
You haven't forgotten me. That's all I'm asking for right now.

untoldtale

This clever "canon bumping" plan of yours? Not thought all the way through. How the hell is knowing exactly how crazy things are back ho- in Storybrooke going to help me? I won't be able to do anything about it since I'm still gonna be stuck in Hellhole Sausagefest Town until you get bored.

Cut the crap and stop pulling my strings, you know I hate that.

asthedrivensnow

I think you and I both know it's a very fine line you're having me walk.

If things go the way you seem to intend, I'm going to have to justify it soon, and that's hardly a position I want to be-- do not bring Andromeda into this. This is a completely different situation, and there are other factors to consider. ~~Not the least of which is physical attraction. Sweet Circe, that man...~~

And I'd prefer it if you didn't mention the lovely layers of hypocrisy again, since this is your doing.

spaghettiinmysoul

I got a raw deal, munny! Fir-fir-fir-first day on the job and you toss me at a giant robot that wants to dismantle me! What's the deal? What did I ever do to you, huh?

[INVADE AND SHOVE ALL MY OTHER MUSES TO THE SIDE ASSHOLE]

He-he-he-hey now, no need for that kind of language here. We're respectable people. Well, you're a people, I'm actually a robot. Bu-bu-but robots can be people too!

How about a song to cheer ya up, mun? I got a million of 'em! Except the 80's. Don't ask about the 80's.

... Wouldn't exactly say my canon is a musical. Where are you pullin' this stuff from anyway, Munny? Seems like you're just makin' it up as you go! Nothin' wrong with that, just sayin', just sayin'.

[EDIT]

Oh so now ya find the right tag. I knew you could do it. Eventually. Just had to look hard. Real hard. Like findin' a needle in a needlestack.

libraritology

I'm aware that it's all fun and games to you, but these are my relationships that you're considering demolishing, and I'm very fond of the way things are right now!

[Flawed as they may be...]

I know your reputation, and whatever you've got planned would likely be the edict of Emperor Theodosius I to my library of Alexandria.

[Which is to say, dreadfully destructive.]

flashdrive

Thinking of sending me to another game, mun? Well, I'm not complaining. It's Cybertron, and you know what they say! 'There's no place like home!'

Except I guess this home is kind of...pre-home. But a lot of the Lost Light's there, right? Should be no problem catching up with the guys there. I bet even Magnus has lightened u-who am I kidding.

...Is Chromedome there? I'd like to speak with him.

[Uh...about that.]

.....Oh...

notangelofdarkness

Mundane? It's good to meet you, but I'd like to go back to where I'm from. I haven't seen Kells in a long time...

Yes, I do remember what Aidan told me, but I believe at least a few survived. They must have.

I take great care of my hamster.

[ Cue light throat clearing. ]

And I've improved my fish care abilities. No one messes with my animals.

breakthecurse

Ah! Miss Mun, that's so wonderful! I knew you could get all of that work done so my application could be started. I'm so proud of you!

Though, um...there's just one little thing, if you'll excuse me. Do you really think this timeline, is a good idea? I mean, I know you probably know best, being my mundane and all, but I have something really, really important to be doing at home, and there's only so much time to do it! Is it really okay to just up and leave like that?

Oh, but please don't worry on my account! I trust you, and I'm sure everything will turn out for the best somehow. And please, take care of yourself first. Go slowly - you're still recovering and applications aren't looked at until Sunday, so there's still plenty of time between now and then. You don't need to rush on my account, Miss Mun.

Um, thank you for listening!

devil_chan

Master, Master! You want to app me a game that's full of sex? Why did you take so long to find me, I've just been sitting in Hell waiting for something fun like that!

But you'll need to find out more about me to app there, I don't want to be some sort of gag character that everyone laughs off! I want to have all the secrets, desires, and dreams like your other characters do! You might have to make some up, but I don't mind at all. If you want to know more about me all you have to do is ask and I'll open wide for you~~!

[ No, no, bad incubus. Close your legs, your panties are showing! ]

Oh, and if you fail to get me in... I'll kill everyone you've ever loved. Okay~<3?

wimpyvampire

Hold on.

You're bringing me back out. I have been fine this past... what almost two years? And now you want to drag me out, kicking and screaming, for shits and giggles?

No. That's not how this works. Go back to your other muses, that you actually have in games or muse boxes. Not me. Back off.

God you're worse than Hanna.

clearasil

Awesome.

As if the Goodman family dynamic wasn't effed-up enough, you've got to throw in mythology.

cloudnun

Come on now, you didn't have to do this for me! I don't need a game to be happy! If anything it makes me feel a little guilty for expecting special treatment or attention over your other muses.

[Hmm... but the concept of heading there is appealing for certain reasons.]

Although both myself and Unzan being there for Captain Minamitsu is something I'll gladly take part in no matter what it takes... and spreading some religious faith might be a good way to spend some time, too.

In fact... it sounds like it might be a dream come true!

[An obvious joke but who could honestly resist forcing it into that message?

But wait, Unzan is hovering around and moving closer to Ichirin's ear. What's going on?]

...Unzan says he'd like some icons of his own, alright? You can remove some of mine if you need to!

keybearing

Yeah, I know it's been a while, and I know you're wanting to try get through it before that new 'HD' thing comes out or whatever. You're still behind, but at least you're trying to catch up, even without one of those...'3DS' ones. It's still fun getting through it and seeing Roxas' adventure before we saw him earlier, and meeting Xion too! You're at Day, what, 172 now? See, you're getting there! Just keep at it. I know, it makes you kind of miss me, but you'll play through it all again soon enough. And you know I'm still around and all. Always will be.

shieldstar

You know - you can't go wrong with a big guy like me!! I think it's pretty cool that even though you're such a small fry, you still know I'm cool enough for whatever you want to throw at me!! BRING IT ON, MUN!! I'm so ready for this!!

[Grinning ear to ear, he throws his fist up before giving mun a thumbs up.]

immunegenius

You've made a good choice for a muse. I mean, you really can't get any better than me. But we've got to talk, and surprisingly it's about something more important than why you decided to wear brown slacks with that top and black boots.

I can totally see you choosing Belle for me, considering the whole taming of a beast thing I did for Jackson despite the whole Stockholm Syndrome thing that permeated the entire relationship between her and the Beast which! I will tell you I did not have for Jackson at all. But Paper Bag Princess? It's a little flattering you chose such a feminist icon from children's picture books from the 1980s era that didn't take the prince's insulting behavior and change herself just to regain his approval, but the paper bag. Paper bags haven't been in style since... ever. I am so not wearing nothing but a paper bag. Pick a different story.

jiminyjaminy

Well, isn't this a surprise! I thought you'd gone and forgotten about little old me. I'm not upset, mind you. I know you've got an awful lot on your plate right now, what with work and school, and all those other muses of yours. It sure would be nice of you to consider doing something with me, though. There's got to be a lot of fixin' out there to be done and I'm just the fella to do it.

So now that you've got that DVD of ours, why don't you do some reviewing and see how you feel. In the meantime I can hang out around here. It'd certainly be swell to see everyone again.

controlversial

So? You've been planning on doing this for long and it's still obvious that you'll fail.
Well, you've gathered a lot of data which could be considered a start.

But you know that there are things you cannot accomplish just by being persistent about it.
I suggest you better give up on this idea before making a fool of yourself.

badappled

I don't know why you've brought me here. If you're trying to torment me, I'm sure there are better ways.

But if it's what you want, so be it. Nothing can be worse than what I've done. I can feel it in my chest like a cancer. You can't ignore your own heart, can you? You can drink potions to forget love, but you can't ignore what you are.

Or what you're becoming.

Ehh? Why are you so nervous? It'll work out somehow.

...B-I-T-T-E-R-S-W-E-E-T. That's the kindest and simplest way I can describe it. I don't mind being apped in before the Crystal Empire incident; that I can deal with. It's the fact that I was--no. I still am prepared for Equestria to move on without me...and then this happens.

It's a good thing you read that article about PTSD, isn't it? Maybe that'll give you an idea of how I feel about this. Maybe.

You have yet to reveal what you wish to accomplish with this mission, Mun. If you have no set ideas about my fate or where I may travel, I request that you send me back to Gondor. There is much to be done and little time to do it.

{Though he fears his Mun already knows this.}

What is to become of us - of Frodo {if he still lives} and the rest - should remain a mystery to me. Even knowing the outcome would not stop me from growing more concerned about their fate. Mordor is not a place one should take lightly. I know that a great battle awaits us at its gates and I will not shy from it.

{He tips his head back and looks at the sky.}

I am not afraid to die alongside those I call my friends and allies. No man could - or should - ask for better in such dark times.

tothefightingend

[One of the key things that makes Lucas himself is that despite being an extremely emotional person, he keeps it locked down. So while some immature part of him would like to scream at his mun, the reality is that he knows better. Acting childishly has never gotten him anything but derision. That said, the eleven year old is aware everyone is older than he is at this place, or at least the majority of people are. It'll be like the Championship again, having to earn people's respect from the ground up.

He keeps his voice in check volume wise, but there's an undercurrent to his polite tone that scratches the surface of how annoyed he is.]

This impulse of yours is going to lead to a very serious commitment if you're actually accepted. I suggest you finish canon-reviewing and finalize my icons if we're really going to go down this path. Although I know very few people ever pay me any heed - hence the cult and the god of time and that whole fiasco in-canon - I have to say, you picked an intense game for the first one you've ever put any of your characters in outside of dressing rooms. Do you even know how to use a log community? [...well, no, but I can learn!]

Regardless, I don't back down or back out, so I suggest you begin thinking hard about how we're going to make this work. I don't fail. Ever. I'm not breaking that streak because of you. I don't care how late it is where you are right now.

[Sigh.] At least home will have Dawn and Barry to keep it on the rails this time. After the battle at Mt. Coronet, we've all gotten ourselves together enough I trust I can spend a while with you without anything going wrong back home. But this was a bad call, mun. So don't expect much from me when it turns into the second coming of the Lake Spirits disaster.

J.,

When I say I don't have time for him, that's not an invitation to deride me for how "little" I'm doing. For one, the amount of "screen time" I get is entirely dependent on you. I'm not choosing to be unoccupied. You're choosing to do other things.

Not that I mind. Quite to the contrary, it leaves me free to conduct my own business. Which is my second point: I may be doing "little" by your standards, but I have my hands full, running my own life.

And even if neither of those things were true, even if you had given me something to do, even if I didn't have my own agenda, there will never (it bears repeating: never) be "time" for him. We're all better off, the longer he stays away. It's for the best that he never rears his ugly head again. Consider where we are. We live in this town, together: all of us. If you think bringing him back will only affect Galen and myself, I assure you, you're wrong.

You can't pretend to have invented him. You can't pretend to have any control over him. But if you let him loose on this town, on any of us, you will be responsible for that. I can't stop you. But it's an awful idea. The fact that I've written this much on the subject should be a good indicator of just how little he's wanted, around here. Or anywhere.

Listen. I've been able to make just about as much sense out of all this mess as you have. ..and that isn't much. We both know that.

We just take two steps forwards, and five steps back.

Doesn't look like we're ever getting those steps back, either. There's nothing you can say to me at this point that's going to convince me that something worse isn't going to happen next, but I do know if there's any family that could make it through it, it would be mine. I just got mine too, and I'm not losing it without a fight.

Trust me. I've been through enough Hell already for several lifetimes.

Hey, thanks for remembering me and it's not even my birthday.

Seriously why did you even drag me out again? Last time you barely let me walk around at all and there were no good stories. I sort of need to be doing that, you know?

WE can try this again, but don't get your hopes up. We're probably going this alone, not that it has ever been a problem for us in the past.

I think we have issues.
