Apr. 22nd, 2013

What's that? You deleted a god off your log-in thingy to make room for me?

AS EXPECTED OF THE GREAT BLACK☆STAR!

Let's go off to Holy Hills now! With a name like that, a man surpassing the gods should fit right in! Screw the dates everything is open, I wait for no one!

bestoffer

Really. I'm surprised it took this long, was beginning to think you'd tapped out on this whole affair.

Since we don't have much space here, I'll be blunt-- I want you to take us somewhere. Anywhere, really. Don't look so surprised, you can only go some many places in the known universe, and I need some fresh air. Besides, you and me? We could be a team, you know. I'm the brains, you as the fingers, it'd be perfect. Characters at these games need guidance, a firm hand. I could provide. You and I both know I'm not strictly malevolent.

You see? It could be fun.

And if you choose that leather-jacket wearing rat instead, I will make his life a waking Hell inside your head, do we understand each other?

irremediable

My, but we are eager, aren't we? I must say, it is ever so inspiring to see you make the effort again. After all, you and I used to have such fun together. I should have hated to see all of that frothing potential gone to waste.

Oh, you mustn't worry. Your well-being is, of course, only of the highest importance to me. You will be looked after, dear. Rest assured.

bittykaname

dear mun-sama. Is that what I call you?

I trust you know what you are doing. I believe you when you tell me that my sister is safe and that I will see her soon. I will keep you to your word. She is much to precious and I worry about her.

I am still confused why you have brought me out, when you have the older me. I know you have explained this many times, but I am worried. He seems to be more capable to protect her. Regardless I will still do my best.

shinjite

I feel like you shouldn't put me anywhere, mun. I'm fine with where I am now.

[the wrap of his arms around his legs, curled so tight to him. his breathe is low, and his eyes are down-cast, lips pressed into a firm line.]

I'm fine here. Right here. [his voice cracks.]

[locks of his hair brush against his knees. his eyes are not focusing on anything anymore.]

riverborntorun

Stop that, my dear. You've got very important things to be doing right now, and just because it's the same day as my anniversary in an aborted timeline is not a good reason for you to slack off.

[...!]

Don't go pulling that nonsense - I was young and stupid and just a teensy bit on the psychopathic side. What's your excuse? ..That's right, none.

Besides, even I managed to pull myself together enough to get a degree. A doctorate, no less, and if any mun of mine is going to--

[River's eyes narrow and she sneers ever so slightly. Her voice is a low, a tone normally reserved for her frustration with the Doctor.] Oh, I hate you. You dug a maternal streak out somewhere - when the hell did you find the time for that?!

Current Mood: annoyed

psychic_supremecy

For once, I believe we are in agreement. This... change is superfluous and downright insulting. I was created for a singular purpose - to be a weapon. Weapons have no need for growth, and I have no need for more power. My power is sufficient enough for what I desire.

If this is my future, I am glad - for once - you stubbornly keep me here, away from the flow of time.

[OOC: Yeeeeeah, neither mun nor muse are happy about this development.]

letsplayalovegame

Hé! [Upon that not getting his Mun's ever-so-wanted attention, Ros scowls slightly... and then promptly chucks a book her way.] God damn it, listen to me! When I have a question, the most you could do is give me your attention! Now...

[Sure that he has what he wanted now, he casts a glance towards another inhabitant of his Mun's little "mindspace" and leers at the white-suited man, a lazy grin settling on Ros's face as he notices the other tense up and then disappear quickly from sight. His interest gone from view, he turns his gaze back to his Mun, who's covered her face with her hands with a groan.]

You think it'd be worth it to chase Gambler-Boy?

[For fuck's sake, Ros, he isn't even--]

Hush. You know it isn't worth it to argue. Especially not with me.

lexluxor

Don't give me that look. Stop trying to ignore me! I know you can hear me! I need to stretch my legs once in a while. I would appreciate it if you let me do so occasionally.

jeebies

So, hey, could we maybe not encourage any of my brothers and sisters to come to Rapture? This place is already trouble enough with that Ryan fellow making lives miserable. ~~And I don't trust that Atlas, just so you know...~~

The last thing Rapture needs is, Gods forbid, Aphrodite or Poseidon running around getting swelled heads because their names are on street corners.

Especially not those two. I wouldn't mind Hephaestus, but that's about it for the Siblings Hebe Wouldn't Mind Having in Rapture With Her list. But preferably, I'd rather even Hephaestus stay far from Rapture. This city is awful.

( Writers why u no-? )

solo_patria

Madame Secretary-

Once again, I fail to see where anything, other than about ten words of what I said was so awful that it drove someone I had no interest in interaction with away from me. In other words, by sticking to my guns, and forgetting to pretend that I had any concern for someone I thought nothing of in a personal sense, I have won this round and do not have to put up with their clingy, overly emotional, extremely uncomfortably familiar behavior again. Why should I feel guilt or remotely bad because someone I have no interest in interacting with beyond their status as a fellow human being has decided to take offense to me being myself?

Simply because someone expresses emotion towards me is no reason that I must show them any emotion in return. I am tired of the lying, tired of the pretending, and tired of the playing nice because you worry about causing your fellow mundanes some sort of personal distress. I respect that you have done many things for me, but I will no longer live a lie for you, and will no longer continue with being trapped because you will not support me or speak up for me when the other mundanes dismiss me as a figment of your writer's imagination.

From this day forward, I shall have contact with others, of course, and I shall work to make the world what it ought to be for all people and all humanity, but I shall NOT allow you to pull me back into the traps of allowing people to think that I am their "friend" when I have little time for their antics, their disrespect for my decisions, my friends, and my life choices. I shall NOT allow you to place me in a situation where I am compelled to pretend that I trust someone just because I know them, or they express care for me. People may do what they will with me, but I am in no way obligated or required to trust them in return, particularly when they heap abuses and criticisms upon me for acting to the dictates of my conscience. It in no way means that they are my friends or that I must extend that friendship anyway, and I will NOT have you allowing others to assume such things again.

Moving forward, we WILL both make this clear, should we need to, and we will not fail each other as we have done thus far, shall we make a bargain of that point?

Speaking of my behavior and my friends, I do owe Les Amis an apology for abusing the rhetoric used as we envisioned our republic in a sarcastic argument, and for demeaning them, their sacrifices, and Patria herself. I mean to be a better man than that. I OWE them all a better man than that, and I will need help not only in making a full and proper confession to all of them, perhaps individually, as this is serious enough to warrant it, and in making amends for the way I have handled things in the past few weeks. It was abhorrent and disgusting, and while I know that they never would do so, they are within their rights to drop me for the things that I have done, the ways that I have disrespected them. I will need your help to do so, and to keep from failing them, their sacrifice, and our republic again. Please help me in doing so.

[This is kind of awkward. What is he supposed to do here? Say something? He has nothing to say, really. Man, it's like being shoved on a stage and forced to address the audience without being given any sort of direction. Only the audience is from multiple universes/realities instead of teenage boys from his school.

What is it that people normally say in these situations again? Right, okay.

Yoshitake clears his throat, making sure his voice is a little deeper than normal.]

Send me back. I have important things to attend to at home.

[That didn't sound natural at all! Just...die, Yoshitake. Just die right now! Why aren't I dying?!]

[At least he said that all with a perfectly straight face. Even if his cheeks are every slightly red from embarrassment. If only the guys were here to save him from this uncomfortable situation.]

hannahbanana

Please tell me you're not actually going to send me anywhere. Please tell me you're not going to take me away from the field -- which, by the way, took me three years to make -- and place me somewhere irrelevant to the war with the Covenant. Mun, please, please. I just made Private First Class by some fantastic miracle. My dad can finally tell his army-mates that I'm his daughter.

I have accomplished something amazing, Mun.

And if you take me somewhere, then you're only going to help prove my brothers and that bitch Abigail right about me.

ordinarily

... So, wait. You've been watching my show, along with Kim Possible, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, and Teen Titans. And you wanna combine all of them now?

[ What? You got a problem with superhero crossovers? ]

Actually? Yeah.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm already busy enough dealing with ghosts. I seriously don't need a bunch more weirdos showing up and bringing their own sets of whacked-out villains for me to have to deal with.

Do you even know what you're doing with this? Like, at all?

[ Silence. ]

... I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here, and say 'no'.

maternatura

You know girl, just because someone deemed it necessary to pick a random day and declare it Earth Day it doesn’t means you need to be excited or claim it as my birthday.

…And you are not listening to me, how typical, very well then keep with this perception of yours. Also if you are not planning to do anything with me, do please leave me alone and go back to whatever you were doing.

Oh great, you are possibly looking for a home now, just perfect.

thelantern

Miss Mun, is it? I can't help feeling that this isn't a very good idea. It seems to me that you've little hope of doing anything worthwhile with me. There is only the one episode to go by and you've already watched it several times. I imagine you'll grow tired of the same story over and over again.

It's very kind of you to take such a liking to me, and I suppose it would be nice to say hello to the Doctor and Clara again, but I cannot stay here. There is still work to be done, and things...things have taken a good turn. I hope that you will not keep me here very long. Please send me back to Caliburn House as soon as possible.

redtails

< For once, can we just leave me alone? I'm not big on getting shoved out into the open whenever you have an inkling of wanting to play dolls with me. Me being the doll, of course.

There's not exactly a place that would be good for someone like me anyways. Just saying.

No. Don't even think it. >

liugan

At this point, writer, I am no longer certain that they know what they're doing anymore.

You can stop laughing. And the comparisons to lesser quality cinema.

propulsion

Not bad. Kind of pithy. One word usernames are on trend right now, so I appreciate it, but I'm just not sure it's, you know, me enough. You may want to talk to my marketing department, they'll tell you -- one syllable, hard consonants. It's all about image.

Speaking of image, I kind of only have fifteen as a max, seven as of now. That's not going to work for me. I understand you're, well, "broke", but have you considered having money?

Little thing, also, quick question -- are we going to save the world at any point? Not saying I have a monopoly on that, but-- well, no, I do. Literal hero monopoly.

You really haven't thought this through. Firing you.

Edit: See? That wasn't so hard. [ ooc ; lmdjsjd thank you. ]

sexymanbeast

...Okay.

[he leans back in his chair, hands behind him.] What now?

fotlenke

Joy of the greatest joys! I am irrelevant! We must tell Hercules at once!

I wish the Princes all the best with their manes. ~~And I pray patience for their hairdressers!~~

snickering_cateyes

Kukuku~! Mun-chan~ What are you doing hiding under your blankets? I'm flattered that you'd want to share a bed with me so soon~

[ No. Shut up. Go away. ]

Ah~ Hurtful Mun-chan! You know I was just kidding~ Now, what shall we do?

lurched

[ his hands move inside his dark jacket pockets, long fingers searching for a fag. he finds one and places the slender, white stick in between his lips. a lighter flicks open, and the low flame eats at the end of the cigarette. the end burns a bright orange as he sucks in a puff, and smoke slowly flows from his lips, like a smoke machine or a bellowing dragon, as he tastes the tobacco on his tongue. his throat burns as the sharp smoke moves down into his lungs; it feels like his insides are on fire, like there's a forest fire inside him. he's never smoked before, but since his father had troubles quitting it, starting it feels like a silent rebellion. a strike against a ghost and against a figure that's possibly one as well.

a hand moves through his black locks -- a nervous tick copied from his older brother -- as the cigarette moves along his fingers. ]

How many more do you think you'll play? Just a rough guess. No need to be accurate here. [ he makes a vague gesture with his cigarette. ]

You play my brother, Victor, and that captain. Walton, right? [ a pause as he takes another drag. ] I'm curious as to whether or not I'll be the last. Do you think you'll have anymore two AM epiphanies as you procrastinate on your homework? Perhaps Henry deserves an account? Or my mother? Oh, she wasn't in the story for long, but she did greatly influence it. [ the hard, sharp angles of his face take on a dark, pensive quality as his tongue clacked against the roof of his mouth. ]

In any case, please do play with me for longer than a second, will you? I've already been abandoned once. I would prefer to skip that this time, thanks.

poisoned_dreams

Well... That was fun. Did you enjoy that as much as I think you did dear? I think you might have had a bit of a stroke from the way you seem incapable of pulling your thoughts and feelings together. Now, go have a nice cup of tea and a break before you hurt yourself, hm?

isavedher

YOU thought you lost me? Even I thought you lost me, and that's bad. You know why, right? RIGHT?

Because I'm in your head, if you lose me I stop existing!

So just... just don't say things like that, okay? I'll be here.

guardianthroughtime

You're a little late, aren't you Lady Mundane?

Allow me to make this clear now. I serve the Royal Family. Not you, nor anyone else. I don't mind aiding you in whatever business you may have to settle. But, if there is even an inkling that the Princess is danger, my services are for her and her alone. Understood?

[A smirk.]

Very well then. It seems as though you already have plans for me. Carry on as you will. You know of my duties as long as you respect them, I will respect you and your decisions.

Current Music: Ballad of the Goddess

projectionist

M-my this is...a bit sudden. Not that you picking me up is a bad thing! Quite the contrary actually, I think it's rather splendid that you seem to be so....so interested in me and my hobbies! ...a-and my quirks..

...either way, merci, Mademoiselle.

We even share a taste of fine art! Yours is paintings and traditional media, while mine is cinematography. Two quite different animals to be sure, but both are to be admired.

B-but I...I'm getting ahead of myself.

While I'm not certain I would be the best teacher in the place you're sending me, I'm willing to give it a try if you have faith in my abilities.

tetheallan

I'm flattered that you made time for me, my sweet mundane. I was beginning to wonder if you lost interest.

I know you didn't want to make any posts until you finished the game, it means a lot, really.

[ Heavy Brooklyn accent]

By Giovanni Verrazzano, Mun , this headspace of yours is cursed! Not only did you walk under a ladder, but it fell on you! Even if you're better now, that's still bad luck!

Don't think I don't know about that lad you used to have in here, the one that was born on a day where Friday the 13th and Butsumetsu converge. Just 'cause you stopped playin' him don't mean the taint is gone.

Or all them so-called conventions where you're parading around indoors with an open umbrella for a costume.

Are you tryin' to attract evil spirits? Like that demon you got me sharing with? I don't care if you call it a skrull, there's evil in it!

I ain't goin' to any of them games, and I ain't letting you put my shipmate in one neither! The last game he was in corrupted him. You had the lad bein' all friendly with demons, witches, fairies and law enforcement!

[ all terrible things to a pirate]

I can't believe you're a fellow Brooklynite.

I don't get it.

[ there are so many, many things to say. countless things, meaningful things, heartfelt things, gut-wrenching things. but above all, clearly the most important thing to glean from this delightful sneak peek that has been so tenderly provided for us: ]

Well [ ... ] at the very least, my coiffure is far better than my brother's, yes.

[ whatever.

you're all thinking it. someone had to say it. ]

efflorescent_perfection

[ Cornelia is laughing at her mun really hard right now. ]

Oh don't look at me like that, sister, it's your own fault. "It was just a whim" you said. Then you started rewatching my canon, and frankly, I'm kind of comfortable here in your headspace. So no, you're not getting rid of me anytime soon.

Anyway, if you're serious about sending me to that place, quit waffling and go for it. I can handle whatever happens, trust me.

princessofwinterfell

Dragons, Elves and magic? I would call you mad, Lady Mun, if I hadn't been reassured multiple times that my family (what's left of them) and myself are quite safe. I might even learn to enjoy the company of Elves. They seem incredibly intelligent.

(And beautiful. Sansa is a girl who can ~~still~~ be swayed by beauty.)

Though perhaps I should not let this chance to see my family go to waste. I have no guarantee that they will remain with me for long.

Or that I will remain with them.

(She closes her eyes, silently praying.)

If any of this is in your power, Lady Mun, please let us stay? Let me stay? I know my place is by my King, but this is like a dream. I have no desire to wake.

payshisdebts

You know who I would ask for, yet you gladly court my lord father. Yet you claim I am one of your favorites. This is not how one gives or shows favor, my lady.

Ask for Jamie, in Tywin's stead, if you can muster any kindness. Not my sweet sister, not my father: my brother, who I do love well and dear. It will be good for us both, I think. There's nothing to be gained from Tywin in shackles. Beyond, of course, the brief amusement of seeing him there. It will wear thin, especially after Ivy's killed him for calling her a dwarf's whore.

jailbreaks

I was always hoping that every time I told you not to overwhelm yourself you'd actually quit paying attention to me and lighten your load. Really, I must be one unlucky guy if you've decided that I'm the only one you're going to pay attention to now. Can't you find someone more interesting than me to play?

[Nope. You're the perfect one for me to play right now.]

nerdylilspidey

This number's for you, mun-gal! Don't thank me; Consider it your reward for keeping me out of trouble.

By. Y'know. Keeping me away from everything ever.

Soooooooo yeah. This is totally a reward. Don't make it weird by questioning it.

[Wait. What--]

Doo da da doo da da doo--
And I need you~

[Seriously?]

Doo da da DOO DA DA DOO!
And I miss you~

Doo da doo doo da do--
And now I won-der~

If I should FALL! Into the sky...
Do you think TIME! Would pass me by, ohhhhh~

'Cause you know I'D WALK A THOUSAND MILES
If I could just... see... yoooou...

TONIGHT~

~~[Stop punishing me, Spidey. :(]~~

tosher

I think we've made a bit of a mistake, sir. You see, sir, I don't really fit in with the rest of the lot up here, now do I, sir?

[ He begins to shift a bit, patting around his mun - and likely taking a few things from pockets as he sees fit. ]

They're all... how should I put it, sir? Honorable gentleman, as it were. Policemen and the like. And not just any sorts of policemen, sir - no, no, they're not nearly so dumb as them, now are they? Been educated and what not! Now, you know me, sir - or at least you sure seem to know plenty about me, sir, in an almost unnerving kind of way - and you can see why that might be putting me a bit on edge, can't you?

[ He holds up his hands, backing away a bit. ]

Not that I do nothin' worth angering any policemen, that is! No, sir, not me. A tosher I might be, sir, but that's not real illegal, is it? Pickin' up the pieces that people drop isn't really steain' the way I lookit, and I think anyone'd be inclined to agree with me, don't you, sir? But... all the same! I'm different than them and they might be tryin' to pin things on me if stuff goes missin' even if I've got nothin' to do with it. It's the way these educated types work, sir! Blamin' all the bad luck on the poor lad who don't know how to write more than his name.

So flattered as I am, sir, and honored that you see what a great bloke I am and all - it'd be nice, really, if you'd let me be on my way then. Not takin' me to any of these "games" as you're callin' them. No, sir, I think I'd much rather stay right in London where I know all the rules. Thank you all the same, sir.

[ A beat and it seems his plight has done absolutely nothing. Oh, that's just grand. ]

Well, blimey, will you at least tell me you'll think about it, then? I'll give you back your keys and everything if you do.

denver

Oh, okay, great. It's not like we had anywhere to be or anything. I wonder what exactly you plan on doing with us?

[ Uh, well- ]

Let me stop you there. You're taking the roundabout way of saying "no idea", aren't you? Let's just drive on through to shtako creek and be done with it.

[ I mean I- ]

You're doing it again.

[ No idea. ]

Fantastic! I'll tell Irisa. She'll be so pleased with all this nothing you've got planned for us.
I'll bet all the scrip in the world nobody even knows who we are.

itdoesntfit

Lord Reed isn't going to like this.

To be honest, I don't like it either.

zazaza_zacharie

Hehehe... what's this, Puppeteer? You've taken hold of my strings? Of what interest is an ordinary item merchant to someone like you?

You should really go back to your usual puppet. I'm no protagonist with a place in the games you'd like me to be in. Even if business would boom with so many to purchase my goods...

Well, perhaps you could convince me. But could you convince all the others that their puppets need my goods?

Ah, well. If you decide to lead me, who am I to object? And I suppose it might be a nice change from being in a video game, even if my fate won't be so clearly scripted. Aha ha ha...

shaves

That was a little abrupt. Not that I'm complaining, a short leave of absence to recharge your batteries or more specifically, mine, can't argue with the logic behind that if it puts me in the long-term penthouse. You could still make it up to me, obviously. Those little Twisties things they sell near you? Toss a dozen in a box, send them my way and we'll call it even. You should probably send some to Pepper and Bruce, too. Add red and green sprinkles respectively, they'll love that. It won't look too Christmas-y, will it? Actually, scratch that, get the red glaze and make the topping yellow, nobody can complain about Sorry I Vanished gifts that present the universally delicious task of licking Iron Man themed pastries.

Arguably, I could have been doing something more constructive with my time than spending it in the garage for a couple of months. I've been relaxing, cut me some slack. Look what's coming up for me! I think I deserve a Get Out Of Jail Free card before the whole messy business hits home.

This was not my fault, you can't blame a guy for holding him in indentured servitude. Where are my chocolate Twisties?

boatwhisperer

Yes, I was the first to offer. I don't see why you're so surprised.

I think we have issues.
