May. 1st, 2013

Geeze, took you long enough! I was startin' to get bored stuck up in your head with nowhere to go. Like, REAL bored. S'not fair, you playing around with old banana beak instead of me!

Don't worry though, we've got pleeeenty of time to make up for it, right? So where are we goin' first?

broughtyouflowers

All right, darlin, all right. You want to set me loose somewhere, be my guest. But let's not bother dickin around, acting like you're serious about this if it's just a case of the 'I-dont-want-to's. Dont build me up just to knock me down, you catch my meaning?

Because I dont mind just being here, long as I know where things stand. Got plenty of ways to keep myself occupied. Hell, I'll talk to just about anyone, you know that's the truth. People're interesting. Dumbern hell for the most part, but that's all right. Can't fault anyone for being what they are, and deficiency of intelligence is what we could call a pervasive human trait. Something only the lucky ones overcome.

All I'm saying is I dont give much of a shit whether you find a place for me or not, so long as I can run my mouth every once in a while. Maybe get some girls, a night on the town.

That last part? Just kidding; I'll be fine with a glass of water, maybe a beer.

Told you I'm easy.

You just let me know when you're ready to start something.

sideswiped_innocence

Um, yeah, happy you touched the source material again to give yourself a refresher...

[Sides turns around in his swivel chair.]

But seriously _{why are you shipping _{me and Wheeljack}}...? I-I really don't see it. Mun. Are you crazy? He tried to kill me in order to break m'bro Hot Shot! And last I checked I don't like being chained to things...least of all burning buildings.

[Here he folds his servos in his lap.]

So are you going with the one where I'm stuck in the castle and losing Nightbeat? [Very not thrilled look.] Or are you going with the one where I'm turned into an organic equine? [Pinches the bridge of his noseplate.] You're REALLY making me nervous here.

Or are you listening more to that AU younger version of that one Decepticon muse again? I don't mind...really. _{_{_{Just don't forget about ol' Sides, your buddy here...}}}

memoryreprieved

I'm- fine with this, mun. Sometimes we need time to think about things... and come up with something that's best.

[ She reaches up to gesture with a hand only to slowly hold it to her chest, forming a fist. There's a pause before she closes her eyes. ] I'll be here.

anysay

I encourage you to bear in mind that cognitive psychology and common sense abolished the 'irresistible impulse' defense from every rational court of law. You understand what that says about your implicit abduction of me.

I'm not here to tell you what you should do. Only that you have no excuses for doing it.

falchions

This is hardly the best idea you have had, mundane. Would there not be better choices? There are others here, such as the manakete... she would find it much more endearing than I would. They have her kind there. Besides, I have things I must do, as you do. It is not the best time for either one of us. Do not send me there. Allow me to return to... well... you know who I'm talking about, don't you?

Think on it, please.

consort_sadist

You read, and you think you understand, but you don't. No one does; no one possibly could, except for one, and you aren't him. But apparently, you like to think you are. You keep digging, and digging, and you ask questions I don't want to answer, and you get annoyed when I give you the answers that you're demanding. Well, I'm tired of it. Sick and absolutely tired.

I spent centuries waiting for Witch because I knew in my soul that I was always meant to be her lover, but you don't even try to let me find her. I'm not going to bend to your will just because you have the metaphorical pen, and I am not going to surrender to you. I fought Dorothea SaDiablo with every breath and every ounce of strength that I possessed for 1700 years, and you think I'll bend because you want me to? Think again, because it isn't going to happen. I'm a Black-Jeweled Warlord Prince, son of the High Lord of Hell, and I will not be broken.

I have my own voice; I don't need yours. Stop trying to shove it down my throat.

Current Mood: annoyed

extend

Well, well. Well?

. . . how'd these go again? 'This isn't the right time for us' -- 'I'm not ready to handle this much commitment' -- 'sorry, but I'm not feeling a connection' -- 'you're great and I'm flattered but trust me, it isn't you, this is all me' --

[ ahem. ]

What? I'm just saying. You dangle a word like 'vacation' around, anybody's bound to picture something more -- relaxing. You know, walking tours, a freshly-organised library, maybe some fine dining or -- a real big bed?

[

. . . ]

Come, come, that is completely relaxing.

What hour'd you call this anyhow? It's gotta be too early for this kinda talk! Somewhere.

sexyninjaprince

Well, finally! Do you know how long I've been waiting? It's impolite to keep a prince waiting, ya know! I feel sorry for the lovely ladies that live in your old, dusty head-space.

But don't worry. I've been keeping them company. And I'm sure you'll send me to a game this time.

Right?

sweettart

Hey! You! Player! (This is some sort of text-based adventure game or something, right? Right.) Can we talk?

Seeeeeee, it's not so much that I mind you coming along and pulling me out of Sugar Rush to play me - it's a little weird that you could, but it's a nice change of pace, getting to be a player avatar. But couldn't you have waited? You pulled me before the big race! Do you even know how long I've been waiting for that day? And yeah it's... nice... being able to get out of the game for once, but... I was gonna be a racer. And that's what I was built for, not roleplaying games. Ya got me? Okay, good.

Besides, it's been a while since you've watched the movie, and if you really wanna try this, that'd be the first step. Icons should probably be the second.

terraformagica

Iop-head! Why couldn't you have figured this out sooner? Of course you want me to come back! Everyone who knows me would want me around!

[ Let's not go too far, Amalia... ]

Now I have to wait three more weeks?? It's very un-royal!

[ Calm down! It's not like they're going to start calling you the Laughingstock Princess or anything. ]

Don't give them any ideas!

favours_thebow

So, you're going to try again to get me into this game? You really must be desperate to fit me in. Uncle is there, I know. That is some incentive to want to go, but the rest? Not so much. I'm not really happy with being sent somewhere away from Fili and the rest of the company. What of the quest? What if I don't WANT to go? You don't think of that, do you?

[A small sigh.]

Well, I do wish to see uncle again so....I am willing to go along with this second shot. There had better be a good tavern there or else!

hasthepotential

What's got you looking so smug? It's not like I'm up there or anything.

[Ok, ok, Minako's looking pretty smug too, regardless.]

Funny they have him up there, and not Mitsuru-senpai. Think this was his fan club's doing?

wheaten

Hm, while I'm glad that you've decided to try your hand with me again, your choice is... Well, it is not as bad as others, I suppose, but it's a strange one all the same.

I cannot say I'm excited to be married, nor to be looking after children. Though some of these children may as well be adults by human terms, I would think! Surely they could take care of themselves without a fake parent to watch over them...

However! I do look forward to being able to show my tail without fear, I will at least say. There seem to be many stranger things, so surely a wolf's tail would not be so odd or dangerous... What a relief that will be! Feh, I will be happy to not have the trouble of hiding it. So I suppose that said, as long as there's some alcohol to indulge in, it would not be so bad there!

At least make sure that I have a good "husband," alright? ♥

wonderdash

You think you can play me? The one and only super-duper AWESOME Rainbow Dash?

[Ha!]

You're gonna need a lot more confidence than that!

flurryofsnow

Yeah, okay. You're paying attention to me, that's cool.

But y'know? I can't help but notice a pattern going on here.

Our current threads. [listing on fingers-] 'Axel gets turned into a robot'. 'Axel gets turned into a Xehanort'. 'Axel gets a literal Chain of Memories through the chest.'

Do you think we could maybe have a thread sometime that doesn't involve me getting mentally or physically wrecked in some way? You know, something like 'Axel hangs out with the kids and gets ice cream?' Because I could really go for that sometime soon.

(Ow.)

kagayakashi

Mun, you're sending me to two new homes? And one of them has both Father and Motochika, and I'll remember things from before?

[ She takes a step back, with her eyes wide. THIS IS SOME PRETTY EXCITING NEWS, IF HER EXPRESSION HASN'T GIVEN IT AWAY YET. Ignoring the fact that one of those games has a freaking eight-headed serpent demon-lord-reincarnation ruling over the land.../sigh. ]

Huwah, mun's nervousness is paying off! [ Candid. But go on. ] Is it that "compulsive editing" you always say you do? [ UM. ] It's like having two adventures at the same time! [ The red-head claps her hands together and sighs dreamily. ] Just think of everything we'll learn! To be with Father again! To be with Motochika again! Ah! To be with new friends!

[ Her grin is wide, and the joy is somewhat infectious. ]

I might live on an ancient turtle! [ She twirls once, then leans forward with one hand on her hip and the other atop her brow, as if searching the horizon. ] Can we see it from here? What's his name? Is it a woman? Oh, wait till Father hears about this!

onceandfutureknight

Please, you know very well it did not happen like that. Certainly not with any singing involved anyway...

[a huff] And there isn't anything wrong with knights picking flowers.

[She sighs.]

I would...appreciate it if you stopped dwelling on that meeting, though. For my sake...

[Ow, way to be a downer, Saber... :C]

snakeholes

Wow. Yeah. That's like, so totally great. I'm so glad you're having a nice time. Really. Your happiness means, you know, the world to me and stuff.

But if you say the words "Tony" and "Stark" in the same sentence one more time? I'm going to wear your voicebox as a very stylish hat.

Cool. I'm just so ecstatic that we had this talk.

cantwalkwithoutit

I've never given you much credit with regard to your overall intelligence, mundane, but the fact that you don't understand why I'm unhappy about this news personally shocks and disappoints me.

You can't imagine why I wouldn't want my own flesh and blood to be subjected to this world and its mad deities. You see no reason why I should have a problem with that trumped up prig in her tacky, laughably maintained temple coercing my son to perform, sexually, for her amusement, on pain of death.

Yes, I'm positively dancing a jig, you idiot. And in other news, I'm an expert sprinter.

privatehell

This username kinda makes me sound like one of those cool, sad superhero types who have all that uh - that uh - depressing, broody attitude kind of stuff to 'em. Like Batman. Yeah, you make me sound like Batman.

I'm cool with that.

But I don't want you getting any outbrandish ideas here. We're not sending me to a game without Virginia. I don't do good without her. I forget to eat and I get all itchy and sweaty and there's this nervous twitch in my eye -- Look! Look it's starting already! I'm gonna look like the crazy guy if you send me to some place all twitchy. No one wants to make friends with the twitchy crazy guy.

I think I'll stay at home. Yeah - yeah that sounds like the best idea and I don't usually get a lot of smart ones. So lets go with that.

peccaret

[ The voice comes soft, bitter, and amused all at once. And, it is not without a twinge of envy. For someone who is seemingly leading an empty and endless existence, that's quite a bit of emotion that can be read. That is, for those who know her. Otherwise, she simply comes off as stoic. ] One more. [ Wrath. ] To what end do we seek now, if there will ever be one? Will it all burn, like all those years ago? [ Does it seem like she's talking to herself? Oh, yes. ] Or will this simply continue on, a cycle never-ending?

[ ... ]

I do not pray, Mundane. The inevitable will play out in its fatality. It would be foolish to hope for a peaceful resolution.

crystalismemoria

What do you mean, "stop looking like a rabbit caught in headlights"? I'm not nervous at all! In fact, I'd like to get out there and see new places...

It's just...

[Then calm your damn tits, Serah. You keep wringing your hands like I'm gonna toss you into a pit full of Lobos or something.]

...Look, I have a right to be cautious! You have this weird grin on your face and I get the feeling you have ulterior motives!

[Pish posh, girlie. The mun always comes first, didn't you know that?]

....I figured as much...just...don't get reckless, okay?

babblingelf

Are you sure? I mean- I won't have my magic there and then there's other things. It sounds a bit dirty.

[More than a bit, Merrill.]

Not that it's not okay!! It's a natural thing, isn't it???

[It just sounds strange to her!!]

unscorched

I wish I could be as enthusiastic as you are, mun, but I'm afraid I cannot see the fun in being kidnapped and stripped of my magoi. Even if I'll be able to "live normally" there, those are serious transgressions.

[But what about Hakuryuu? HAVE YOU SEEN HIM TALK TO YOUR MOM.] Of course I'm worried about Hakuryuu! It's just... I worry he may be unhappy to see me, let alone speak with me again. Our last conversation was difficult, to say the least.

... regardless, have faith in yourself. If you intend to see this through and done well, you must be determined to do so.

kickthecanplz

I DO NOT WATCH DISNEY MOVIES!

I'VE NEVER SEEN A SINGLE ONE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!

Mun, there is a difference between wanting friends, and being thought of as a total pansy. I've got a reputation to maintain! It's like when Mulan was in the army, she wanted some companions, but she still had to keep up the disguise and -

NOT THAT I HAVE EVER WATCHED IT.

whispersinyourmind

[The masked captain stands quietly, observing. And then he speaks but you don't hear it so much as feel his words. They're more of a whisper inside your mind.]

You are not prepared for this, child. You understand that there is far more ahead of you than behind. And that to leave The Nocturne without her captain would invite chaos among the crew and their donors.

life_death_and_albion

Dear mun,

There is no place more fitting for a king than in his own kingdom. You cannot put me anywhere else.

Perhaps before I was more adventurous... But where would you put me now? I will not step down from the throne. I am king of Albion, and I will do my duty.

King Logan of Albion

notyourfriend

Oh hey, wow. You really got a lotta time in your hands all of a sudden, eh Monkey? That's great you remember me cramped up tiny head space of yours, but I'm letting you know... I ain't gonna do jack.

Juuust so we're on the same page.

You and Sinclair got too much faith in me.

kalteen

Wow. You're really doing this, aren't you? You know, I'm glad you're not taking me to a game. They wouldn't be able to handle me.

I'm totally sick of being stuck in this headspace, by the way. That is what you call it, right? There are some weird people in here. I don't even know any of them and I don't want to. Like, that guy? With that effing mask? I'm sorry, but I just don't need to deal with that right now. I kind of feel bad but... I just can't expose myself to things like that.

[....]

Whatever. I'm hungry. Bye, byotch.

brand_of_disgrace

Ash doesn't hate me now, does he?

Ah, well. I could at least try to make sure he didn't get hurt. [ A long pause, then: ] H-hey, what's that look for? Tell me you're not thinking what I think you're thinking...

velveteenmage

Why, out of every possible option for my 'partner', are you hoping for some stupid cute thing? Isn't there anything even a little intimidating? You know, like a lion or a giant tank of a dog or something? No one's going to take me seriously!

Look, I appreciate that you're planning for any possible outcome, but if you're really committed then stop plotting out evolutionary lines and actually write the application!

tishinka

No. I don't like this.

misswatson

Look, wherever I go, I don't necessarily need Sherlock to tag along. I'm not officially his companion anymore, remember? Now that we work together, it's fine if we have our own space when it comes to these "games."

Besides, your plans are rather obvious. It seems like events are going to escalate the next few weeks so you're biding your time before you send me off into space and away from New York, is that it? Not that I know how you could take me from a dramatic finale to some spaceship in the middle of god-knows-where.

... If you do go through with this, I'm taking Clyde along. I know Sherlock won't neglect to feed him, but I'm a little dubious about his chances of survival after being a paperweight.

parttimedelinquent

"Yo." ... I would say that, but you've kept me in your head for a while already. I don't know how Shinozaki or you manage to deal with this sort of thing, honestly.

Well, it took one more viewing of what happened with all of us for you to finally make this happen. Can't say I'm surprised, but you could have given me a little more warning, you know.

So... what do you plan to do with me now? I don't really like the idea of being only a voice in your head for eternity. This is a step up, that's for sure...

diedthesage

That's it! Got some good motivations, huh? I bet everyone can't wait for my triumphant return.

solinvictus

Are you kidding me? Nobody wants to walk around with Dante looking something like this. Don't tell me that's payback for decorating him as a statue. That was Nero's idea, remember? Not mine.

I swear I'll shoot him if he tries.

oneplusone

Eeeh~? You're taking me somewhere? Tell me, tell me! It's been really boring just sitting around here listening to everyone else have fun. I should get to play too.

[mun placed a reserve at

explorationzero]

... oh? Horror? Do you really think I'm suited for something like that? It might be dangerous. But... it sounds fun, getting to watch people go through something like that. I'd be able to learn a lot, wouldn't I? And I get to stay as I am now. I wonder if I could get someone to protect me, if I act cute and helpless enough.

Aah, I'm excited now!

Oh, and... mun. Just remember. I'm doing this because I want to. If you try to go against me or force me to do something I don't want to, you know what happens, right? Things go much better when you listen to me.

perceivesjustice

I don't think you need to worry so much, Miss. That old application you have isn't bad at all, even if you think it's not to your current standards. Besides, you still have around a week to get it in, don't you?

[A sheepish smile.] Yeah, I've been fine. How long has it been since we last talked, anyway? Years? Man, I never realized...
(Though I definitely would have taken the silence over being played over there again. Yikes.)

Just keep going through my old cases and you should be fine.

cursed_prince

From one dying land to another... Milady, you realize that my displacement will only spell the doom of my people at home. Even if I am able to lend my aid to those of this new world, my own people will continue to suffer in my absence.

Please consider the consequences of your potential actions carefully before you decide to condemn my beloved empire.

--His Imperial Highness Prince Baldur

hosting

K...idnapped?

[THAT'S A SCARY WORD. WHY WOULD THESE WORLDS KIDNAP HIM? Well, aside from the obvious reasons of his father's riches and his astonishing good looks, both of which would fetch a high ransom indeed. BUT STILL.]

Surely you won't allow me to be kidnapped, princess. For I am already bound by the chains of love to you, and no world or game could tear us asunder.

[Flirting with your own player will work, right? It better do, because there's no way he's leaving Haruhi with those devilish twins without his supervision!]

littlepenis

How about this? Jess. My Dad. My Job. And every other detail that falls under the category of "my life" are off limits for discussion.

booksem

Would you please just stop with the married jokes already? Steve and I are not married. We aren't even kind of married. Not even a little bit.

Yes, he drives my car, but that's because I got tired of fighting him on it. Yes, we bicker, but that's because he's difficult. Yes, he chooses where I eat lunch, but that's because he's controlling. Yes, he picks what we watch on TV, but that's--

We are not married! I don't want to be married!

untreue_seele

So you've dropped the ducks after years upon years huh...? I'll miss a few -- maybe only one or so... but I'm not going to cry about it. Just make sure you place me somewhere good next, since you so insist upon it, and make sure there's something to do this time. This one you're eyeballing looks like things could get interesting, at least...

Current Mood: bored

malfunctionbot

He touched the butt!

nullbuilt

Do us both a favor: figure out something for yourself before you try to figure out what you want to do with me.

I have enough to worry about without you being so indecisive.

lawbending

Now, my dear, there's no need to rush. Applications just closed there, after all. You have plenty of time to consider this opportunity! I'm well aware of my cultural and physical disadvantages, but I'm not one to let such things hold me back. Why, it wouldn't be the first time I've had to eke out a living and make something of myself from the ground up.

With their new law system in its infancy, I'm certain a man of my experience and talents is exactly what Cybertron needs. Cooperation between humankind and the... locals is key to unlocking a brighter future, and if you enter my application, it would be my honor to be a part of it all.

denokandafaran

You're really that interested in testing my ability to see the good in people. Why is that?

honorher

Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, I'm not against it, but you don't really know that much about me. I could be a murderer for all you know.

Figuratively speaking. Literally speaking too, maybe. I just think that maybe you shouldn't get ahead of yourself. Don't get set in ideas or beliefs that could change really soon. That's dangerous.

fantastix

Well, look who it is! Total silence for a while, I turn around, and here you are. What's this about?

Oh, go on then, admit it! You missed me. And I'll bet that means you want me to take a spin 'round the galaxy and save the world again. Which world this time? Kaldoria, Xhifargusib, Fenderflatusen?

No, I did not pull those names out from behind my ear. They're planets, I swear it! Maybe one of you lot will see them someday if you're lucky enough.

Anyway, where to?

hammer

You're kidding, right?

I thought we had a deal. You'd let me alone and I'd let you alone. This? This isn't letting me alone. This is bothering me.

So, new plan. I get back to work and you find someone else to send to... whatever. There's like, three other guys for you to choose from. Pick one of them.

loadedbookworm

You know, I don't think the medicine you take for your migraines is good for me. Yes, me. While you might start feeling better, I'm the one that suffers! Didn't we go over the children thing before? We agreed that fatherhood isn't something that I'm suited to. Bookworm turned warrior, fine. But to be someone's father...I'm not sure I can be that selfless. Not that I'm a selfish bastard- Of course I'd love her, but that's not the point! And where exactly did she get red hair from anyway? She looks like she could be Tess's kid, and obviously she's not-

...If you go this direction, I'll get to go home?

Excuse me, but you suck. I'm glad your computer's having issues, it'll take you longer to make the shrimp icons.

kerauno

Hey, reality check! I actually have things to do.

Your waffling around doesn't help me, like, at all. And besides, you've got a lot on your plate. Just lemme go, okay?

wasnt_attacked

Haven't we been through this, miss? Was it really necessary for you to bring me back out when someone expressed a small interest in playing my brother? I was happy enough just sitting in the back of your head-space and letting everyone else have their fun. Really, I was. I could still. I could go back to reading and studying.

If I run into Albus of Aberforth, that'll be great but there's nothing that we can do.

averytinyparticle

You're so weird, mun! I'm sure you have enough samples through collective tags. Stop being so squirmy and post my application already while I'm still reserved!

[Still...better safe than sorry. It would be wiser to have a bit extra than to risk having too little. And come on, it's like anyone else is going to want this character, right?]

verged

[Look, man, I made the account. I didn't realize a Mason was going to friend you. This is legitimately not my fault. Don't go blubbering now. Is that too much to ask?]

I believe psychologists would have a great many things to say about someone who takes such delight in the torment of people, fictional or otherwise.

This is hardly a good idea.

embellisher

Of all the places you could have chosen, it's one that's under the ocean.

A city under the ocean.

Under the ocean.

Let me repeat that one more time just in case you missed it: under the ocean.

Do you know what the ocean is? Here, let me describe it in two words: Liquid. Suffering. You don't put dwarves in oceans. They don't do very well down there. Me included.

You, messieur mun, are a sadistic, evil woman.

On the plus side, the Dwarven Merchant Guild isn't there. I'll give you that. It's a very big plus indeed.

...actually it might not be so bad down there after all. Sign me up.

I think we have issues.
