Don't you have only yourself to blame for this? You did allow yourself to get hooked.

[Geez, no need to rub it in. B|

Alice cradles her chin apprehensively.]

But if I don't point it out, who will? The goody-two-shoes friend advocate? That dirty mop you keep calling a 'snark queen'?

Well, whatever the case, now we'll find out the answer the question that's on yours and your friend's mind--can you handle me?

[If I don't have an aneurysm from putting up with you before we get this whole thing under way, then yes, we'll find out... B|]

[[Also, huge newbie to the series here, watch the spoilers. B|]]

abareextinction

How long has it been? That doesn't matter.

What matters is it's been far too long.

Let us get the games underway, shall we? I've stagnated far too much.

zeubermensch

[the Medic looks rather frazzled, and maybe even a bit flustered.]

With all due respect, Fraulein, spending so much time cooped up inside the mind of a young lady such as yourself is exhausting. Hoo.

[he cradles his head, a little wide-eyed.

uh. oops.]

No, no, nein, it is fine, I am alright. I believe I just... need a moment to collect mein thoughts. And perhaps a chance to stretch the legs, hm?

... also, could you... perhaps give those of us in here a bit of a warning before diving into that, ah... media that you so enjoy? I believe you are giving the Heavy nightmares.

psychette

Six actually being Agent Coulson in real life? Believe me, I could see it. They sure fight the same way.

Also, more than likely, Nathan Stark is directly related to Tony Stark. [The Eureka marathon was last night] They've got the whole...beard thing going on.

[fist bump]

You need to think of these things more often, mun. It has been getting too quiet lately, you know I love a good crossover AU.

kickingit

Not that long ago, I would have given anything to have a superhero movie series based off of me. Especially one that didn't suck balls. Now, I just want my life to go back to how it was before everything got so fucked up.

warren_mcginnis

...the reason you're having problems with applications is probably because I'm in one episode. I'm not sure what it is you think you'll be accomplishing with this other than torturing my son for something that wasn't his fault in the first place. Leave it alone, mun. I can take waking up in some place with dragons just because you're bored; I won't take very well to you using me for 'feels' and 'lulz'.

meatbags

Objection: Mundane, I am insulted by the insinuation that a work of art such as myself would want to live within your organic brain! I think that I am feeling something akin to nausea while imagining such a dreadful and undeserving fate!

Advisory: Your squishy body requires sleep. It is late where you live. I believe sleep-deprivation psychosis is an appropriate diagnosis for someone who would think that I would willingly inhabit the 'headspace' of a meatbag.

frodleikr

My dearest mun:
Well, I certainly am the privileged one now aren't I? You with all your vast knowledge and books. What a pleasant little surprise that you would take to me.

[ If there was such thing as a sarcast-o-meter it would be through the roof, by the way. Loki thinks mun is an idiot. He's probably right, but. ]

Let's speak about this post-Ragnarok thing, shall we? I've just a few concerns.

If you wish to resurrect me - I suppose it could be said - can we not with the whole living in North America? I am of the Nordic faith, let's not forget. How about Norway? I'll settle for Sweden. Finland, even! If you must then Iceland would be far preferable over, say, New York. [ This is not actually a request, mun. ]

Do keep in mind from whence my power came. I'll give you a hint, oh mortal one, it's not from cement.

Yours truly,
Loki.

iamabsolutelyflawless

Aww, what's wrong with havin' me in your head? I'm the cute hyperactive one, remember?

[Exactly. No game will take 'cute' and 'hyperactive' and mostly importantly Abridged.]

Hey now, I'll have you know I can be serious. For reals. I'm like a Lupe Fiasco song up in here sometimes. 'Sides, I gotta get into that game. That place has freakin' dinosaurs an' shit. I can't miss out on that. Now look, I got a ballet class to get to, and when I get back it'll have all worked out. Trust me.

Just don't gimme a Digimon that looks like a Kuriboh, 'kay? Digging the username, though.

notmakingsense

Let me get this straight. You wan't to either send me to the same chaotic place you've sent my two headmates, or you want to send me to a place filled with ponies?

...No, I don't have the answer. They both sound equally in need of some chaos so I'll leave it up to you to decide.

You'd better decide soon though, I'm getting rather bored of doing nothing.

rerising

For the last time, I'm not a zombie.

...I'm just more dead than alive as of late.

connorhawke

Mundane,

I don’t want to be combative or unappreciative of your picking me up but I am not convinced this is a good idea. You strike me as a nice lady and all but when you use terms like 'I ship Connor with whomever here like Fedex.' Well...I think you can understand my concerns, right? Surely a woman of your age can understand how offensive terms such as 'punching his v-card' might be, right? It's bad enough I have my family and friends prying into such intimate parts of my personal life, I do not need you to do so as well.

All I'm asking is that you remain true to my characterizations and not toss me up onto all of those relationship memes because as my canon has proven, I'm not overly driven by such things. Please control your--what is the term again? Oh, right. Your 'shippy' tendencies and just let me be myself.

If you can learn to respect those boundaries, I would be grateful. And from there, I'm sure we'll be able to make an effective team.

Thank you for your time and listening to my concerns.

Sincerely yours,

Connor Hawke.

lushluthor

Oh dear, you couldn't even begin to handle me.

Now get me away from this place. The longer we stay, the more liberal arts majors that are going to come sniffing about for handouts and I left the mace in my other Vuitton.

buddahcup

No one says my name like that.

Wait -

[...Not "no one," no.]

This username stinks!

directorfury

I am not starting this out 'with all due respect,' because frankly you haven’t earned that yet. It’s not an insult, it’s a fact. I work in facts.

Fact is it’s my job, my responsibility to lead these people, to direct them as a unit. I’m not sure you are capable of bringing that to the table, and there is zero percent margin for error here. You screw this up and there’s a lot more than just embarrassment. You hear me? Am I being clear enough?

I catch even a whiff of this going south and I pull the plug myself, understand?

Good.

Now get me Hill or Coulson, I need a run down on things and I need it three days ago.

toolofwar

... It shouldn't matter that you can't get your hands on the second volume. Not everyone has read Zero, after all...
You have IF. Focus on the resources you have on hand.

Once you can get to the second volume... you can retcon information. It never hurt anyone before.

moonbreaker

Welp, this sure is strange! What'm I supposed to call you, exactly? ..."Mun"? Sounds good. "Mun" it is, then.

And, uh, when you actually do work up the guts to play through to my side of things, could you not, y'know... mess it up? [I won't, Makoto.] Okay. Good! Phew.

All right. Let's get rolling, then, mun!

getinthefuckingrobot

It's not...--

[No, saying the name isn't funny is a waste of breath. He is a waste of breath.]

I don't want to pilot Eva anymore. I don't want to do anything.

[There's a long pause. When he speaks again, his voice is much quieter than it even was before. Smaller. His tone carries no trace of irritation, only... resignation.]

Leave me alone.

ace_of_hearts

All right mun, let's talk.

Aren't you being too cautious? You're trying to map out actions and consequences, instead of letting things happen as they will! For your other characters up here in "headspace" or whatever, that'd be fine, but it doesn't work for me and you know it. You can't plan things like that with me! Unpredictability is part of my charm!

Maybe things will get a bit messed up, but that's just how it goes. That's part of what makes it fun! You can't hide away from taking risks just because you know the odds of it turning it out well are impossible! Impossible is what makes it exciting to even try!

Be more impulsive! Be more bold! Stop over thinking every little thing! You need to give it your all in

exitvoid and

thewake or of course we'll be out of sync! I'm giving it my all, so you have to give it your all too! Take the chances, and then deal with the consequences! Don't try to prevent any risks by not taking the chances, that's just not me, and I know you can do better.

Now get to it, I don't want to have to do this talk ever again.

Sincerely,
Portgas. D. Ace

P.S. Get more people to have fun with us. They don't even have to be people we know! Especially if you promise to start taking risks again.

peppery_potts

I applaud your restraint in keeping away from that certain tag on Tumblr.

[She smiles a little.]

I know it's only 5 more days away, You're practically vibrating.

Just remember your priorities. Job Interview, job hunting, etc.

[Laughs when her Mun makes a face at the 'Job hunting'.]

I know, I hate it too...

sneakyshoes

Ohhh, all right, all right. All riiiight.

I said I would, and here I am. It's a nice enough day, I suppose. Don't really have anything else better to do.

Could be interesting. Meet some people. Get out, get about. Maybe start something. A riot would be nice. Good, clear day for it, and there's soooo little happening right now.

Mmm, a word, though, dear. Nothing too terribly serious, don't you pull that face on me. Don't you think that name's just the littlest bit obtuse? Hmm? Just the littlest tiny bit?

[_nope.]

No?

[_{it's just. obtuse. enough.

he shrugs, rolls his eyes and pulls his phone out from his trouser pocket.}]

Whatever. [_singsong:] I don't ca~are. Don't come crying to me when no-one gets it, and never say I didn't warn you.

delitasis

...I...

I did not think it was time for me to return from your head once more, milady. Though please do not stress on my 'application' overmuch...you have much more pertinent things to worry for, do you not?

streetvalue

Dear Mun,

I understand there's no point in arguing with your decision, since you're going to do whatever you want anyway. Even though you know it doesn't make me happy at all.

[She can do without some other person trying to keep her under control. Still, considering her past experience, she won't complain much about that part.]

If you must, I only hope that this place you're considering is as nice and safe as you make it to be. I'd really like that.

Thank you.

mexedgeyotp

What did you say mun? You don't think that my dearest Edgey-poo is that attractive?[Gasp] And you don't like that glorious red wine suit or cravat of his. How dare you! Whippersnappers like you obviously have no taste in fashion or handsome young men!

Well, not that it matters anyway because you would have no chance with him. Edgey-poo would prefer someone much more mature and refined! Not like my husband. Did you know what he said to me once? When I asked him to do the dishes! He said "Darling, I've done it for the last five nights. Couldn't you have a turn for once?" Can you believe that?! Honestly, men these days, they have no respect for-

[Ramble ramble ramble. Insert more TL;DR here.]

notagnusdei

"Either I have quite an imagination, or the weirdest sense of déjà vu known to existence."

"Since you're giving me the silent treatment, I might as well figure it out myself."

"I can handle it... right?"

Current Mood: confused

bloodinbloom

I'm really happy you might have more friends coming to join us, Miss Mun! Though, I guess I shouldn't be too excited considering everything going on, but I would really like to meet who they're bringing to the game. I'll be okay without my brother and Big Sis there. Everyone's been really nice so far.

Huh? Why do you get nervous at the name Dr. Kiriko?

starkawakening

Well, look who showed up to the party. Better late than never, I always say.

...Actually, I never say that. I always start the party. Anyway. Semantics.

[He totally has a glass of whisky in his hand. He takes a sip of it.]

Glad to see you got over that little bit of stage fright. Good to hear, I was starting to get a little jealous of all the attention Legolas has been getting. Not the space stuff. I've had enough of space stuff, he can keep that.

Oh, and your friend? The chick who gave you the idea for the journal name? Thank her for me, willya? There's a good kid.

heedsthecall

METROPLEX: ONLINE.

AWAITING ORDERS.

PRIME IS NOT FOUND. METROPLEX WILL WAIT UNTIL THE PRIME IS LOCATED.

theblacktulip

I knew it. They just didn't have the balls.

Now I'm not looking forward to all the "X/Y" stuff. Guess I know how Mewtwo feels about his new form. Heh....I hate irony.

eveningcalm

You miss me? Well, I definitely don't miss you.

Leave me in peace, I have an exorcist exam to pass. I don't have time for your angsty and perverted fantasies.

lost_sailor

Mundane, I don't understand why writing an application for that hero has made you reconsider your plans for me. We both know where I'm going to end up eventually, but there's no rush to do it now.

Not that I mind. It'll be nice to see Sheba again, and finally meet Matthew and Karis.

bibliophile_annex

I don't think being away from the war for a year and one month is any cause for celebration, Mun. If anything, the one year anniversary should remind me that I need to be prepared when I return.

[Now comes the hard part...]

You know very well that I miss him. Speaking about it just makes it worse. There's nothing either of us can do about it.

cyan_maid

I am going to miss him.
A lot.
But I...I understand. Things happen. People leave.
Even when they're some of the people dearest to you.
I'd like to keep my promise to him, though. Even if he comes back and never remembers the castle.
I refuse to go back on my word. I shalln't, if you will.
If I ever get the chance, I am going to make things right! Isn't that what a friendleader does?

persolvo

I got work to do, ma'am. I don't have time for whatever it is you're cooking up in that head of yours, and I sure as hell ain't goin' nowhere, unless it's back to New York to finish the job I was hired to do. Long and short of it. Sorry to disappoint.

goscrewyourself

You are so weak. I'm almost impressed by how easy it was to get you here. So what, a few of your friends "play" from my world and they want you to do it too, so you do? You're ridiculous.

And let's get this straight right now: you don't play me. Remember that.

laughingdragon

Maa, maa there mun. No need to worry so much over that even if I'm still contracted to Masaomi or not we can find a way to handle it. After all that place isn't really following the ways of Onmyouden after all.

[He gives a short bark of laughter.]

Besides it could be a challenge and sure I want to help him finish his mission, but you just have to fight on the field you're handed after all. Besides it's getting really boring just sitting around here with nothing to do.

mekakushioriginal

I'm so glad you've taken a liking to me, mun-chan! I'm really excited to be played by you. I know you and I will get along just fine.

You know, you've had that song playing nonstop since it came out -- it's really nice, isn't it? But, ahhh, jeez, it really does kind of give me a lot of things to think about. The things I did, the things I said, the things I wanted to do and wanted to say...

I wonder, are they doing well? Kano-kun, and Seto-kun and Kido-chan... Kisaragi-kun, too. I wonder if they're all doing alright.

Maybe we'll see them around? Who knows! I'm sure you'll find a home for me soon, mun-chan.

I'm looking forward to it!

tessa_gray

Miss Mundane,

We both have to be patient. You knew when you posted that request for a game that it might take time to get a satisfactory answer. Perhaps if you had not been so specific, even if I cannot imagine being separated from either one of them, our chances would improve.

If this doesn't work out as we intended, then maybe I can go to that place you're considering sending Alexander. I'm sure he wouldn't mind seeing his kin there even if I'm a distant relation. Magnus would be there. I miss him as well and he's always brought comfort when it was needed.

Others have expressed an interest in that Library place so it might be the best solution. And if I go there, I might someday see Jem and Will again since they both know that libraries have always been one of my favorite hideaways. If they're looking for me, then I should be in a place that they would know to search.

prurientprince

What do you mean when I'm a girl? I'm shippy all the time! This is just the first time I've gone all Dark Helmet on you.

[She's holding two dolls that resemble a pair she may or may not be stalking from outside a game. She's roughly pressing them together.]

Yes, yes, now bite her in the tit! And you maul his face!

[Questions of age aside, I gotta say I didn't figure you for a hateshipper, TSP.]

A hatecrush is still a crush, Mundane. I might not get behind all of it but I can get behind the important parts.

distortedscream

No, Mun, one or two games is doable--though frankly, I think two is pushing it--but anymore than that will stretch us too thin--

Are you listening to me?!

heavyweaponsgirl

Stop this.

Heavy is not "cute." You are stupid girl.

drivesthebigtruck

Hey, it's not too bad up here! I get to chill with Hiro, the snacks are pretty good... I guess I can get used to this headspace thing!

Wait, you're going to do what with me?

Come again?

You're going to send me to a game where I'm dead?! And I die during the fight with Polaris? No! No, this is not okay! Not okay at all! I'm not going to leave Hiro behind in the new world all by himself! No, I don't care if the timeline will just rewind and bring me back to life anyway! This is not okay!

Why can't you send me where Hiro's going? At least I'd be alive in that place. What? You can't send two close characters to a place? That's bullshit! I'm not happy about any of this!

I guess there's not much I can do about it, though, is there? At least I won't have to fight anymore.

unshwazzenone

Oh, it's nice, of course. At least now I look more my age. But I don't really see why you're bothering when I haven't been out in a year.

I think we have issues.
