jthm: (are you kidding me)
[personal profile] jthm
You're kidding me right? Please man, tell me this is a huge mistake and that I don't actually have to deal with another voice in my head who, apparently, has control over what I say and do from now on.

Oh what? So you're not kidding?

...well fuck okay.

Here's the thing voice person, after hearing you fawn over the stupid shit that you talk about. I really need to fucking remind you that one, I am in no way shipping with people, nor will I allow you to ship me with ANYONE while you're controlling me. I fucking hate the vile filth known as humanity, remember that.

Two, you need to supply me with an ample amount of blood to paint my walls with else you'll probably lose me to the the wall monster upstairs. Can you even do that? Because you've told me otherwise so many times, you make my body count look amateurish.

and lastly, voice thing are you listening cuz this is important, LASTLY, I know you wanna use me for your rage issues and I get that. I like shooting arrows at people on valentine's day because it's somewhat legal and you like the idea of me doing it. We're good...just...can you not over do it?

That's all I guess...now can we please go now? That fucking store shuts the slushie machines off at 2am and I wanna get a cherry brain freezie before they do.

Sweetie, it's almost one in the morning. Do you really have to shop for RPs on the night before your big exam?

Listen, I'm sorry for hiding from you a few months back. You were using me too much and I honestly needed a break before I burn out. I know you don't want me to disappear so I left to protect you. But I've stuck by you for a year and a half...actually we'll be celebrating our anniversary next month so are you planning something big or are we going to backlog our old UPM stuff and nostalgia trip like we did last year?

I'm sure it'll be fun whatever we do.

But seriously honey, relax. I know I may fail you at times and I know you're suffering from a rather cancerous form of writer's block. But whatever happens, I am never going to leave you. I promise.

Now can we please talk about your plans for that Duncan boy? I already adopted him like you asked me to but I really don't like the you-should-adopt-those-ninja-turtles-too vibe your giving me.

Also...we really need to talk about Eames.

[personal profile] offtheroad
Look, my "backstory" is my backstory, and no, I don't really feel like getting into it. It's nothing you'd be interested in, and it's over with. 

So do me a favor and don't start with all of this [ he makes a big, sweeping gesture with his arms ] crap. I've got enough to worry about without adding...what did you call it? "Roleplay". [ an eyebrow raise ]

Hate to break it to you kid, but I think you missed the D&D craze by a few decades.

Well, Mundane, it's about time you got around to creating something for me again. We both knew it was only a matter of time until you came back to me - after all, I was one of your first muses. You spent too much time with me for you to lose me altogether.

Another site, another home. Anything, as long as you don't try to pretend I don't exist anymore.

[R could groan on and on about how he's finding his first Cornucopia run - okay, not so much run in his case, but yeah, whatever - or what he thinks about getting his eyeball kicked out by some nerdy guy with a mean right foot and a bad case of hay fever.

Instead he slowly, very slowly, puts-a-whole-new-meaning-to-the-word-slow, takes the time to maneuver his stiff fingers into position. Seriously, it's downright tortured. Wait for it...

Wow, things got pretty intense there in that dream of yours, Mun.

I don't know who this "Rex Salazar" is, but from the dream you had he seemed like a pretty nice guy. Kinda fun, you know?

By the way those Nanites were super hard to control, All those huge heavy things I kept making were like SUPER heavy. Ugh, I never realised how much I actually depended on my strength.

[personal profile] sunshine_celerystalks
Now, Mun, no offense intended, but...

What in Equestria's the point in taking me outta Equestria - hay, straight outta Sweet Apple Acres - just to stick me on another farm someplace else?

Sure, I get it's a run-down place and could use the help. But how 'bout makin' an "OC" that could move there normal-like? I got my own responsibilities in Ponyville.

No, mun.

You do not need to learn Portuguese in order to play me. How many times must I tell you this, Autor? It's alright to play me without learning that.

And yes, I appreciate you looking into African dance. That does not mean I am going to dance with anyone. How can you be thinking of shipping when you haven't even picked out a game yet? Please get back to making me icons and remember that between my secret identity, personal issues and - I will fully admit to it - overwhelming lack of dating experience, I'm not about to take someone out to a kizomba club and whisper sweet nothings in their ear. I have a purpose in life that is slightly more important than dating.

Just find a place that takes superhero OC muses and settle on it. And seriously, do not go buy a Portuguese dictionary. Or a phrasebook. Autor, I'm in your head. I can see you planning it. Stop. Just stop. I think you need to step back and remember your original ideas for me, alright?

Thank you for this icon. I feel we'll be getting a lot of mileage out of this.

PS. Was mentioning my father in my profile really necessary? I'd rather pretend he didn't exist.

You hardly need to add one more voice to the multitude telling you not to overwork yourself, but very well, if you so wish.

Of course I'm intimately acquainted with the reasons taking on this many tasks can be a problem. You intend to turn me evil, into a child, and work out something for both my Pops, and my son's, and my son-in-law's birthdays. Have you also scheduled yourself time to breathe in all that?

Aye, I get it, you're making this post to make sure you have my voice still and because you're bothered by the recent canon events. Of course I'll be upset about the mera mera no mi, but working yourself sick won't do you anymore good than it's done for the author. And if we're reaching the point that I have to be the one telling you to slow down, you're already in pretty deep.

You'll see me again, but it can't be rushed. Just take your time enjoying each moment. Vengeance comes slowly sometimes or it doesn't come at all.

I'm a PRINCESS you know, and totally more awesome than everyone else on that list except Annie!  If I could I'd donate ALL THE MONEY and then vote for myself a MILLION KABILLION TIMES, that'd show you! And then you'd be like "Ohhh nooooo Umbrella, I'm sorry I ever abandoned you for some smelly pretty boy that some dumb scientist superglued a tazer to! Now I see that you're the best choice ever and I'm gonna buy you an' Hungern ALL the ice cream!"

And then we'd also vote for Annie a million kabillion times so I can team up with her. And you wouldn't be able to use any other team ever, 'cuz we'd be the BEST and Sis would be super jealous and it would be AWESOME. So there.

Your terminology is perpelxing then. And what would going to another realm accomplish anyway? To find my "Family". Those people who left me? I very much doubt sending me to where they are would rekindle any sort of affection in them. Whatever your intent.

And no I most certainly have not been spending too much time around my Uncle so do not even bother to mention it!

[ Hello all, hope you've been having a wonderful day. James Potter here seems to be fairly content, rolling a snitch between his fingers before tossing it in the air - watching as it resettles itself before attempting to fly away, and reaching out to catching it again before it can.

You know, just what he normally does when he's trying to think. Seeker or no, snitches always intrigued him. Plus, fiddling around with a snitch was ten times more impressive than playing around (by himself) with a quaffle. Not that anyone was watching. Just something that started the habit. ]


You know, mun. [ James rolls the golden ball around in his palm a little, keeping it contained even as its wings flatter about. ] I don't mind much either way - you can finish this app and send me there, where you know I'll have my mates, Evans, plenty of new faces to meet and see. Or, you can keep me to your... [ He pauses, closing his hand around the snitch and thinking for half a moment. ] Museboxes? Memes? Is that what you called them? [ Shaking his head. ] Really, I don't care much. What I can't sit back and watch is this constant waffling between the two.

Honestly, I don't bloody care that you haven't canon reviewed nearly as much as you normally do. It's not going to help much, anyway, so why bother? I'm right here! And I'm not leaving any time soon. So you might as well just do it before you drive us both completely bonkers, yeah?

[ Have a grin, because he knows he's already won this argument. ]

Okay. Let's address a few things right here, you and me.

First of all, neither of us have any idea what we're doing. I know you're sort of an old hand at this 'roleplay' thing, but I know you're still unsure about all this. What do you mean, how do I know that? I'm in your brain. Whatever, don't worry too much about it. It's just a game, y'know. Even if it's my life on the line out there. No pressure or anything.

Second, I don't see why you're so apprehensive about putting me in more games. Not that I'm too enthused about having to deal with even more crazy crap, but give me something to do at least. You won't be doing me much justice if I'm cooped up with a bunch of giant robots and what I can only assume is some kind of short-tempered lawn gnome. Just give it some thought, is all I'm saying.

And third, I'm fairly certain you have more important things to do than worry about me. Like, say schoolwork. But instead you're sitting here in your pajamas, banging away at your keyboard at six in the evening. Way to be, Mundane.

Yes, I just called you Mundane. You see what you're making me do here?

So you know what that means. You'd bet-ter have someplace in mind...oooh? Two? I might be going back to Adstringendum, you say? I did so enjoy conversing with those Animus, their senses of humor were simply wonderful! But do make sure I can re-claim my lair, I never did like trespassers.

Now let's see about this other one...WHAT?! Me? Lose my powers? AGAIN?! I'm sorry dearie, but that simply won't do. It's soooo dreadfully boring being powerless. Hmmm~? You make a good point, it would be much more unpredictable that way. I like it!

[Sandman is somewhat displeased. He sighs and narrows his eyes as his golden sand twists into symbols over his head that vanish in a puff just as quickly as they'd appeared.

A stop sign, a hand pointing a rather accusing finger, a book, a line going through the book, a dollar sign... He shakes his head as the pattern repeats itself.

His face softens and he spreads his hands. The symbols change to a peace sign, a pillow and an arrow down to himself followed by a fridge and an arrow out at his mun. He's not entirely certain if his message is understood but there it is. With a nod of his head he sweeps his hands in front of him, indicating the conversation is over. A cloud of sand swirls into being at his feet and he lifts up, turning his back with the intention of leaving and going back to work.]

So the whole idle planning is now on the first steps to being realized in this twisted desire to see me lose the 'softness', that you think I acquired being on earth and in the direct influence of Prime, of being a moral autobot. Look, I know I had to do things I'm not proud of to stay alive on a dead planet with no allies, and enemies scrabbling around. That doesn't mean I want to relive those moments or do even worse things because you and Prowl's player want to see a slippery slide down the blurred line of morals.

I do see it as necessary that someone gets their hands dirty to get close enough to 'nudge' things in a certain direction. Better me then that Marco kid, that's for certain, and I do believe in doing whatever needs to be done to keep kids like him from ending up gunned down randomly in that place. Though you're not even certain if these Mercenary groups will even take me.
