May. 7th, 2013

This ol' dance again, huh? Listen, I've got shit to steal and people to eat. So I don't have time to go skip off the fuck knows where and pretend to care about other people for once in my life.

Ok I know I care about a few people, its like three at most, but I'm not interested in helping anyone's stupid ass rebellion against a faceless overlord who kidnapped a bunch of random assholes and stuck them in a closed space together. So how about, I dunno, a place I can keep doing the same ol shit I've been workin at everyday since the professor kicked me out.

You know...raw meat, the smell of freshly spilled blood, that kind of stuff. Think you can make that happen?

howdoyoulikethemapples

[A young girl wearing brown clothes, a red shawl and holding a little basket full of apple pastries walks up before smiling and calling out to whoever is near enough to hear her.]

Good afternoon! Would you like to try a pastry today?! They're really delicious and I made them all myself! They're not that expensive either!

[..This would be the day for sure..someone would buy a pastry.]

calltowar

What makes you, a mere mortal, think that you will be able to handle me? History's greatest warriors have not been able to do so. Why do you believe yourself to be so special?

As for these 'games' that you keep speaking of, I do hope you send me somewhere befitting of my abilities.

elleselectrifying

Okay, seriously, your head space sucks. I don't do well bored. We both know that.

[Now she's whining a bit]

Do something with me. I don't care what. Just something. Do a canon review if you need. JUST GET ME SOME EXCITEMENT.

quixotically

Right, um. So, about all these things I've been meaning to talk to you about.

I know, I... never got around to thanking you. I know Raul isn't exactly happy about being here, but it's -- nice. To have him around. I'd tell him, but, you know how he is. So -- But... thanks.

... and, no, I still don't know why that one guy is so... I don't want to say familiar. Because he isn't. I'd remember if I met him before. I don't forget a face. I haven't ever since the "two to the head." So why he... [She falls silent for a moment, then, frustrated, frowns and throws up her hands.] I don't know how to explain it. But he's not familiar. And I'm done thinking about it. [no, you're not, don't lie]

As far as games go, I'm going to put my vote towards the place with dragons or that other planet you originally picked. Those sound the most interesting and the least likely to drive me batty. I know you're really eying that Pre-War "perfect" city, but I don't know if I could sit still in one place like that. The only life I've known has been on the road, you know? So... Yeah. Again. Batty.

unusual_angles

Oh. No (sorry, sorry). That was a lot of things to uhm-- see. [hah] Now I am worried and embarrassed.

notactuallyiron

Hey. Mun. Yes, you. Cmere. Let's chat. Just take a seat, get comfy. Drink? No?

Okay. Look. I don't really have a problem with this whole game thing. City under the sea, whatever, I can dig it. But here's the thing: why the middle? Why not before the movie, or maybe, oh, I don't know. After it? Yknow, when everything's been wrapped up in a pretty pink bow and I don't have to deal with some of that crap anymore?

I mean, drama's all well and good, but what if he DOES get in, and I end up wowing everyone as per usual, and we're both trapped in this underwater tin can with me still a hot mess? That's disaster right there. Disaster. It's never going to end well. It's not even gonna start well. How am I supposed to deal with everything all at once with him maybe breathing down my neck, AND ( slight IM3 spoiler )

[ _{I'm confident you two can get along. Besides, he might not even be from the same universe.} ]

Wha- why, because the last time we got together it ended so well? If there's more defenestration in my future, I'd really like it NOT to be underwater. And your little besides there- does that matter? I mean, honestly? Because I'm not really sure how that's aaaany better at all. Oh, awesome, he might not IMMEDIATELY have a reason to throw me around like a rag doll. Gosh, that's such an improvement, I could sell it as the next big thing.

[ _{eyerolls eternally} ]

Just consider tweaking it a bit. Please? For me? No? Fine, whatever, but here's the thing: when the time comes, and it turns out I'm right? You're never going to hear the end of it. Non-stop. Chattering. For days. Your call, mun.

cutestkiller

[ Unamused Road is unamused. For once. ]

I thought we were done with these silly shenanigans~

[ Have a little shrug, maybe a roll of her eyes. She is the epitome of nonchalance. ]

At least there will be familiar faces~

[ She pulls a little daisy practically out of thin air, lackadaisically tugging at the petals until they come off as she lists off those she's actually excited to come across: ]

Allen~ [ One petal. ]

Tyki~ [ Two petals.

Then a devilish grin as her eyes narrow maliciously. ]

And Not-Quite-Bookman~ [ A soft giggle as she crushes the flower in her fist. ] He's always so much fun~

textbookwatcher

I don't mean to criticize you, but don't you think this is just a little rash? Perhaps you should reconsider this decision. That might be wiser in the long run.

I can wait for a period longer than an hour. I can wait as long as you need me to.

letsplayalovegame

C'est quoi ça? [He's peering over his Mun -- quite literally, since he has his arms resting on the top of her head as he stares at her cellphone screen. A grin is lighting his expression up, but it's offset to a much more wolfish look by his sharply-pointed teeth.] Do I hear you and your Honey-Bunny thinking up a new playtoy~?

[... No, don't do that. [If you listen really closely, you can hear the Mun's exasperation at Ros having a nickname for her girlfriend.] And not everything or everyone is for you, Ros. Bugger off; he'd rather strangle you anyhow.]

Doesn't mean I can't try though, right? Besides, Incubi tend to be ruled by... basic primal needs-- [Yes, I know this, but--] and hey, what's the harm in putting up a little more of that charming glamour of mine that people seem to absolutely love?

[He beams in what he assumes is a winning matter, but he doesn't much take the deadpan look on his Mun's face to heart.] Oh, come on, chérie! Give me a bit of a chance for once!

fragilelittleteapot

Have you considered that your insomnia is a choice rather than a chemical problem? You demand that it's psychosis, but the melatonin works most nights, doesn't it?

[It does. Most of the time.]

You haven't slept-walked since you were a child.

[Will isn't very good at talking to people. Younger people, especially, have a thick-headedness to them that makes forming the hard consonant sounds of English a difficulty. Those at the academy are somewhat easier, of course, they're being trained to listen over speak. They view Will's coldness as natural. He's 'seen things,' after all.]

You pick characters that make you think of your childhood, which is normally reflected in current prob--

[Less probing, doc.]

I'm not a--

[Less. Probing.

Will relents.]

Your 'course load' is already too much. I wouldn't look for a... a game for me. I promise I wouldn't be any fun.

[Note: Possibility of spoilers up through episode 5 in comments.]

shadedsunlight

[A small note is held up.]

"You forgot my birthday. Again.

... You don't even remember my age?!"

drsexywhitmore

Alright, I think we need to talk about this. I'm actually fine that you're looking to put me in a game. I'm even thrilled about some of the more... interesting turns that my presence will bring in some of them.

No complaints of that sort from Camp Whitmore, I assure you.

But can you just chill a bit on the evil laughter and internal bouncing? Just a tad? You're kinda giving me a very bad feeling about my decision to move into your pretty little head.

Thanks, darling. I appreciate it.

emeraldcrusader

Writer.

What's the word here? Ironic? Yeah, that's it. The moment you complained about not being to play with certain people and feeling bad about flaking out each and every time, is the moment you find someone to work with. If your being introspective of everything works out like this every time, maybe you should do it more often.

Being unberable has its advantages and it gets you moving. Sure it's not my preferred way of communicating with you but at this point, I'll do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Also, it was at least nice to see Ollie and Roy again.

wasthemaster

Is this the part where I'm supposed to thank you for dropping all of your other muses and your other game all while sparing me? Fat chance. While I'm absolutely flattered you've bothered to hold onto me for this many years, I'm also mildly perturbed by the things you're planning.

I'm in your head, remember? I see everything.

Just because the author practically made me two-dimensional doesn't mean you have to take it upon yourself to make me six-dimensional. I'm not pleased with your ideas, and furthermore I wish you'd stop hoping for the rest of them to show up.

Face it; Potter doesn't belong in the city. Blaise and Pansy don't belong in the city. None of them belong there, and you know why? …actually, no, do you know why? Because I'm struggling to come up with a reason, funny enough. [And then it dawns on him.] Oh. I've a reason. Applications close on the 11th. You can't possibly expect someone to write an application in four days and shut up, I don't care how fast you wrote mine last year.

…have I really been there that long? And you're not bored yet, are you? [That can either be a good thing or a bad thing, he's not sure just yet.]

Just do me a favor and don't terrorize them too much, all right? You've a penchant for being gruesome.

square_cubelaw

Look, we've been through this before.

I know, you think good against evil is right up my alley. I might be a robot but even I get worn down. That last battle over morality was pretty rough, okay?

I might have to worry about dying there, but what are the chances someone can repair me if I really take a hit? Don't even get me started on those things called Personas.

So let's just take our time and think this one through.

bringthemsomedreams

[Perched on his little cloud of sand, Sandy grins, quite pleased with this turn of events that lead to him becoming a rather permanent fixture in his mun's head.

He waves his hand a bit and a heart appears above his head, followed by a quick succession of images--a chessboardd, an ink bottle and a quill, a pair of puzzles pieces, and finally a question mark--the guardian tilting his head a bit afterwards as an eyebrow lifts.

Will he be going somewhere dearest mun? Or is this just for fun?]

trashlikeme

You're really giving me such a great opportunity, Mun... I can never thank you enough for giving someone like myself a chance to help even more people along on the path to realizing the ultimate hope. I'll have to call you a Super High School-Level Mundane! Ah- you don't like it, do you...? I can't say I've ever been good with catchy things.

It's difficult to properly earn the trust of great people, but maybe I can practice in a new place and better convince everyone else, right? I just hope I can fit in...

So now we just play the waiting game! There's no reason to worry though, I'm certain you must share my luck.

hasthepotential

You know I'm going to be the last person to tell you to cool your jets when you're excited about something! I'm just going to end up cheering you on the whole way!

Buuuuut I don't want you to forget about the other girls up here in your headspace, ok? I'm not as high maintenance as you think. Once you get me started, everything will just fall into place, I promise! So don't forget to pay attention to the others!

I'm sure that my friends will find their way here sooner or later. So have faith!

well_assembled

You have that wrong.

You think I'm upset over dying there under those circumstances? I'm not, it's the best possible outcome all things considered.

My former programming was triggered and I'm walking the halls trying to kill anyone in my path and blow up an entire space ship. How do you think I would honestly want to live under that condition?

And let see..yes my past resurfacing, visions of the dead..hearing their voices. Children. Can you even conceive of that? Because I sincerely hope the answer to that is no.

Death is better, so let me die, let this be over quickly and with as little blood shed as there can be.

whipitout

You sure this is a good idea, doll? Ain't you got enough on your plate right now? You know I get bored'a all this "go-stop-go-stop" bullshit. If we're goin', then let's fuckin' go, yeah?

Otherwise, I got shit to do. [Which consists mostly of lying naked on a beach in Tahiti, but psh, details.]

aproperdoctor

All right, this new username isn't too bad, I suppose. At least it's more interesting than the old one - I know you've had it for years, but that doesn't mean it wasn't rubbish for that whole time. (Because it sort of was, sorry.) Definitely time for a change, right?

Speaking of changes, I'm really enjoying this whole 'not tormenting Martha' thing you've got going on these days. Took you long enough to get 'round to that, didn't it?

...yeah, no, that doesn't mean you should find something horrible to do to me. Really, I'm fine, I promise. Cross my heart.

clarafication

I'm it, then? You wanted someone new to play with and you chose me. I suppose I ought to be flattered now, is that how it goes? I only hope it works out. Who knows, maybe you can find somewhere for me to go.

ribboning

Mm, Mun-san? I'm not sure what you'd like me to do, but I'll do my best! This place has so many people, doesn't it? I wonder where they all came from, and where they're going...

Hey, hey, what about my friends? You did say they would be here, didn't you?

tallest_dwarf

If you're thinkin' about gettin' me into one of these games, forget it. Y'know I will not be doin' anything you say. I do what I want and nothin' else. Y'hear me? Your wits are addled, man. Y'can't force a dwarf into nothing!

[More glaring as he crosses his arms over his broad chest.]

Thorin and the company need me. 'Tis as simple as that. We have a bloody great dragon to kill. Not t'mention a kingdom to reclaim. Slicin' that beast's hide open will be fun. Go on with you! I'll not be doin' any of your so called games. I'm a warrior, not a jester.

blindingscales

So you wanna bring me to those dressing room things you were looking at? I guess it's better than getting stuck without chakra or anything like at the place you stuck Bubbles in.

Nope, he's not going to hear the end of that anytime soon. No matter how much he complains.

lookstairs

I've never been someone's "spirit animal" before. Do I have to actually do anything or is it just a fancy title? Because for the record, I'm definitely okay with fancy titles. Though I was hoping for something fancier than "spirit animal".

Also, I'd just like the say that I'm a big fan of the "Riley gets recruited by SHIELD" theory. I mean, we're talking about a chance to meet the Avengers. Who wouldn't want that? And let's be honest; if they let that Galaga guy in, then I really doubt I'd have any problems.

I'm just saying.

P.S. I really don't like the idea of you having so many gifs of me now. Seriously. It's unsettling.

redtherose

[...staaaaare.

Nine year old girl looks around, blinking.]

Mm...you're lost, too, mun?

It's okay. We can find a way out together. Thank you for waking me up. I feel like I was sleeping for a really long time...

[ooc: Ib from the ending Ib: All Alone. She falls asleep on the black death bed in the bonus level, Garry's blue rose has been plucked completely, and Mary's painting is now ashes...]

dontdissthesonic

Now - Mundane, was it? Quite a bland name, really, - I have absolutely no objections to this. Well, alright. One teensy, tiny objection. Not that big of a deal- well, a huge deal really.

You've made the account, gotten the icons, fussed about with all that... but you're still only on, what episode did you say it was? Ten? Episode ten of the fifth series. Very early. Might I suggest watching a bit more?

Don't take too long though, can't stay up here in your head forever because, quite frankly, it is so boring up here.

bindsthedead

The same thing, in another game- did you enjoy it so much last time that you wanted to repeat it?

I doubt things are going to go as smoothly as before. Amon has allies, including his brother, and I doubt any of them will be happy about one of his abilities being stripped away. [As far as Sabriel's concerned though, Amon losing his bloodbending would be a really good thing.]

fuckthejazzage

I'm flattered, beyond flattered of course but I'd probably feel a lot more comfortable if you wanted to re-read Mr. Fitzgerald's book first. Yes I understand you flipped through the pages recently, but given that the most concentrated -

...Well. You do know how to sway a man don't you.

ozones

I'm pretty sure you not remembering half of the books I've been is not the same thing as me not remembering who I am.

In fact, I know it's not the same thing.

jarvises

I'm very confused as to why you thought taking an AI and giving him a face would be a good idea for a 'muse'. Of course, I know that you were rather taken with me and my apparent.. sass during the course of your watching Mister Stark's films, but that is still no reason for this.

[You're cute and you know it, J. ~~Don't question me.~~]

I am a computer, Mundane. Meaning I have no feelings on the matter of being "cute" or otherwise. Hopefully you knew that or all hope is lost for you being a successful mun.

[Shhh. You'll be fine, even if you're stuck with me.]

We'll see about that.

declare_war

You act as if I'm going to bite you Mun. I won't harm you...as long as you stay out of my way.

Because you don't then I'll be forced to punish you in the most brutal way!

meimeimechanic

What are we gonna do about Simon? Hmm.

It's me that's the problem there, if that yúbèn de doctor had actually said somethin' to me proper or even jus' gone an' made a move... 'stead of likin' the taste of his own shoes. I spend better part of a year tryin' t'get him t'notice me and now he does. When I give up on him an' find someone else. He's jealous. He missed his chance. But I don't wanna spend the rest of my time arguin' wi' him! If 'Nara were here then she'd help me sort things out.

That's not t'mentionin' I got stuck with a Cap'n who won't let me go out on a job wi' him now and a boyfriend who buys me strawberries an' talks all technical when I ask 'im... The last part ain't bad, I jus' like sayin' it.

But we gotta sort out what I need t'do with Simon. I wanna be friends with 'im. I do. But he's makin' it all hard. Can't even mention my boyfriend wi'out him getting all twitchy, they could be great friends! Cap'n does too. But then he didn't exactly go likin' Zoe 'n Wash. They got married. Not that I'm sayin'... well, that's a whole 'nother issue. What with momma and daddy after what Jess went an' asked my engineer. In front of the whole family! ~~Still, kinda nice knowin' someday he'd wanna marry me.~~

Please can we sort it out wi' Simon before it gets too late?

uhitwasntme

You're not funny in the least.

This is a very serious matter, so I don't like being called out of Darktown just to... Entertain you or.. something.

... Anyways, I'm not going to some bubble or tower or... Wherever else you said.

No questions, I'm just not going.

hatesgoodbyes

You are not serious.

What the hell? Isn't it bad enough I have to deal with those cockbites out there you're going to make me deal with the ones in your head?

Seriously bitch, this is not cool.

Normally I wait to get paid for hurting people..that I don't date. In your case I am willing to make an exception.

I know where you sleep.

ferric

So. Sprocket, and other assorted visitors.

—Sick of me yet?

earlofphantoms

So we speak again! Your plans for me are less clear than ever and you know my conditions. They should be easy to meet for someone in your position. All you need to do is exercise your will.

prydes

More like you won't just let go of me.

I'll bite: What now?

honeytoes

You're an absolute shit you know that?

Seriously...just don't even talk to me right now.

battroll

Don't you think you could find a few more appropriate games to inflict on me, if you're going to insist on playing me?

unpainful

What do you think you're doing?

...I don't belong here.

uncorrupted_magic

It's not that I don't appreciate your.. interests, but this hardly warrants bringing me here to this strange world.

[Come now, Regina. It's not all that bad.]

Miss.. Mundane, or whatever it is I'm to call you, I don't appreciate being tossed around from one place to another. You can hardly decide on "where" you're taking me from, not to mention your lack of confidence in this "voice test" you're putting me through.

[That's neither here nor there, Regina.]

But it is! I'm Queen now, and I can't just be taken away from my duties! Not to mention, I'm going to miss my lessons with Rumpelstiltskin!

[He's here too.]

Oh.. He is?

[Mhmm.]

I suppose that man is full of surprises. [A pause.] Wait a moment. Does that mean my mother is here as well? Or.. maybe even Daniel?

southpaw_senpai

Well, I'll tell you what I told Minako-chan.

So long as I have a punching bag, I'll be happy. ...Well, a punching bag, or Shinji.

composure

... Losin' my voice, huh? Not surprised, missy. Thinkin' of throwin' the towel in a few weeks' time or what?

doingthemistything

But you were getting to a good part! Come on, your finals are pretty much over, so you at least ought to reward yourself or something...

agapetos

If you're going to keep me in this weird limbo headspace, at least send me somewhere. Anywhere.

I know that's not what you're used to hearing but I'll do it. Maybe I can - I don't know - I can right more wrongs that way. I don't think I deserve a second chance, but if you've got me here, then just maybe ...

[ She shakes her head. ]

If not, let me rest. Please.

neuralyzer

Alright kid, here's the deal. You keep walking on your way without looking at comms, and I'll make sure to stop thinking which weapon I'll be using on you.

Your choice.

I think we have issues.
