May. 15th, 2013

Come on, it's really not so bad that you want to play me. Just because you're playing another shinigami doesn't mean you can have me around as well. We're not all that alike and it's fine if we're not in the same game, isn't it?

So just find me a game that he's not in, preferably one with lots of beautiful women and plenty of sake, and everything will be fine. If that doesn't work out, then you can put me on one of those meme things. That's less of a hassle than a game and you won't have to worry about playing two people from the same series then.

coalition

Jeez, you're impatient, aren't you? First you make an account for me before you're even done with the game... Yeah, yeah, I know you're done now, but still. And now you're bouncing around all excited 'cause you wanna play riiiiiiight nooooooow.

It's kinda cute, actually! I'm flattered. And we're a good match, you and I.

Anyway!! Hey, you don't have to rush into finding a home for me, you know. You've got a lot on your plate right now, so I don't mind waiting until you're ready. Besides, I think that fairy tale thing you're doing this summer will be a lot of fun!

Oh, and don't worry so much about my name. Whether I'm Minako Arisato or Makoto Yuuki or Princess Sakura Sparklechans, I'm still the same old me!

...

Wait, no, don't pick that last one. Please.

ceded

... I don't know about this. I really shouldn't be going anywhere. But you're not going to listen to me, are you?

Neither of my friends are there... I'll be all alone.

But maybe it's best that they're not there. They should be home. Especially Roxas. I hope they're both okay. Even if it's better that I don't see them, I still wish I could...

I wonder what kind of people I'll meet. I guess it won't be so bad, getting to meet others from outside of the Organization. I've never really had a chance to talk to outside people before. Vexen always got mad at me if I tried. It wasn't safe. But I don't have to sneak around anymore, so ... it can't hurt, right?

Maybe I'll get to make some new friends. I'd really like that.

bullshitmeter

Oh! Are we going somewhere? I like that you are finally showing initiative towards sending to one of the games. It has been almost a year since you created this journal for me, and now, you are going to make use of the journal. I feel very proud of you.

Why no. Of course I am not bullshitting you. What reason do I have to speak like that towards you?

zetahatsudo

[Kamille's looking at the sign hanging from his neck.]

Free hugs.

Really? [He feels the need to repeat this, because-] Really?

silvering

Dear Mun,

While I am grateful for the friends I have made in the city, I cannot say I am content there. Small details, like someone talking about a book, remind me of Will and Tessa. It feels like I have lost half my heart without them with me.

I will never forgive myself if something happens to them, before I see them once more.

ungentle

Perhaps you would have better luck finding a variety of people for me to interact with if you finally took me to one of those places.

Though I suspect you know I wouldn't stand for much of the absurdity some of them revolve around, and as such cannot wholly fault your ongoing hesitation.

The fact remains, however, that you itch more than anything to find me company. More company, particularly from my world; I will confess to enjoying those I have spoken to of late, and I appreciate that you would have my interests at heart, so until given cause to, I will not oppose this. Slightly misguided and indecisive though you are, you seem to have decent intentions. (And I know you have your eye on specific company, but they are unlikely to appear. I cannot in good faith tell you to give up, but I think you're perfectly aware that it is safest not to put your trust and hope in specific others.)

And what's this, incidentally, about the potential modern account "if only [my] hair was the proper color in real life"?

break_away

I don't know what to say, ma'am. This might make finding a place to live easier, and I can appreciate that. You're not like the other humans. You're more sympathetic to my people, and I value that, I assure you, but this isn't as simple as leaving my world. We'd need to find one that takes people like me. I don't know how anything will go past that. I never plan past step one anymore, since that's usually the only step of anything that works. Just know I won't go to any game where I have to do anything unsavory. I have standards.

I'm not a slave anymore. Not to any human, not ever again. You're not an exception. Remember that, ma'am.

Current Mood: contemplative

nexmosnonlucror

[A thin smile, as he cocks his head, curious.]

You've missed me.

ofdrumsthesound

I'd like to see more Tens around myself. That doesn't mean I want you to ask everyone you see if they play him. It's a bit pathetic, really.

Also, stop listening to sad music. It'll just make you more sad, more lonely and less fun. Try something bright, cheerful and preferably not that yellow submarine song again. I'm sick of that one.

With sincere irritation, your Master.

Current Mood: annoyed
Current Location: OTA

routinemission

Rating asses? Really?

Look, I can only admit to even staring at a few. That doesn't mean I'm a good judge of them. So would you stop? I'd really appreciate it.

Also, I can give as many zeroes as I want.

renegadedriving

So. This is your legacy, huh, mun? The time you had me broadcast a sex ed crash course to an entire network and the post hit 500 comments.

This is not what I thought my life was going to be when you put me in a digimon game.

inkpaw

No.

[But--]

No. [A paw slams down on the ground to emphasis the word.]

Really, you don't have anything better to do than to drag me away from my kingdom? Why not care for the speech-lost one? His howling has been growing more and more frantic the past couple days. [A scowl appears on Lucia's muzzle as she speaks her next words.] Or even better, talk to the demon who has a bit too much tongue in his mouth. Keep him occupied. He seems most concerned about you, and it would at least shut his vain jabbering up for a little while.

Or the best one yet: let me go. I have duties to attend to back in Abaven. Northern Star above, I can't trust anyone to keep track of the records without me there to help. Useless on their own, the lot of them.

veiled_hero

If you are going to do something, you need to commit to it, scribe. Haven't you learned that simple lesson as of late? A wishy-washy attitude is hardly conducive to getting anything productive done! Make up your mind, do your research, sit down, and write.

Honestly. If I can leave Bag End, go on a ridiculous adventure, and fight against orcs, I think that you can manage to get over your insecurities and give yourself another chance. ~~I'm beginning to sound like Gandalf, oh dear.~~

Besides, I...do miss everybody, and though I'm loathe to admit it to you--you know that it has been...lonely.

A new adventure might be just what the both of us need, hmm?

Oh, what am I getting myself into? Confounded dwarves! So much for respectability.

shinyy

Are you sure you wanna pick me up again? I mean, I ain't got nothin' against comin' back out and all, but...not if you're just gonna forget me again. What about that nice city place? Seems like a lot of good folk there, you said so yourself.

Lots of people could use my help over there, 'nstead of your other gals. Just sayin'. She's nice and all, but are you sure you want the either of them over there? I mean, you know the whole...not being tied down thing and all, but them? I don't think the either of them could handle it like I could. Just don't wanna see either of you upset is all.

brattery

What would I want with a girlfriend? That's stupid. I got better things to do than go ga-ga over a pair of pigtails or something.

I haven't even talked to anyone yet! I bet she's dumb, anyway!

cursebroken

( Spoilers all over the place here )

notinthecards

Sure you know what you're doing, homme?

spetsnaz

I am, regrettably, very busy. No time to be inmate on barge. Must, instead, find Chinese hacker and try not to kill him, and then hope events - and people - become no crazier than they already are.

Perhaps redemption later.

emanon

I wonder.

It might be interesting, to have a whole new world to wander on.

30credits

Anything that's lost there will only be temporary, you realize.

I may not be the ideal Jedi, but there's still time to stop me from becoming him.

madmaninabox

See? Told you so. Couldn't stay away long. Few months' time, up I turn. Bad penny, all that...

[And yet there's a significant lack of enthusiasm. When he made his promise, he hadn't considered when in his own timeline he'd be returning.]

I sincerely hope you've thought of something we can do. If you're going to bring me out of isolation, crack the seal on your Toy Doctor box, there'd better be a reason. I won't come out for nothing.

Or most things. What I'm saying is, make it good.

...or potentially very, very bad.

gonedutch

What?

Why?

Look, it's not like I think going somewhere with the other Burners would be cool and all but...

You know how long it took me to get settled in Motorcity after I split from Deluxe? You think I want to set myself up in another new place? What about all my unfinished projects? What about my family back up top? What about, you know, the war everyone is fighting!?

[sigh]...Don't even pretend you're listening if you're not, OK?

losthorn

It's been a long time... But you haven't forgotten, have you? Nor have I. How could I? After everything, it would be wrong to push it all aside.

If I am going back out there, I will try to stand strong this time. I owe that to myself.

imspecial

Oh, so you really think that you can handle little ol' me? As for throwing me in one of these so called "games," think about it. Do you really think that they'll take me? No? I didn't think so.

So why don't you go back to your other people and leave me out of this? Yeah? Good.

unexpected_adventures

Paradisa? That's the name of the world you are sending me to? It's a castle, which is paradise? Hm. I'm not quite convinced why I should go there. It seems rather odd, seeing that I am already on one adventure. The quest to help Thorin and the dwarves. Remember that, hm?

I have had my fill with adventures of late. Could we not, you know? Sit this one out, perhaps? [Sigh.] I don't see how living within castle walls is paradise. I see paradise as grassy fields, having a good drink of ale and perhaps a smoke. Good pipe weed, of course.

Now. This adventure. Hm.....it's just that. Well, I don't mean to moan but, I'm a burglar for a reason. I was hand picked by Gandalf and I did promise Thorin that I'd take on this burden. Or, maybe not being roasted alive just yet, sounds rather tempting.

lurkerwolf

"Papa Wolf"? That's not the lest funny.

iamabsolutelyflawless

Aww, yeah! I knew I could pull you outta your funk. You got way too many serious characters up in here, lady. They're cramping your style. You need someone like me to brighten shit up, well, I'm there. You know me. Ain't no thing.

So where're we gonna hit up? I'm not real big on horror, but I'll make anything work. S' better than being stuck in headspace all the time. Gotta stretch my legs sometime. I know we won't be finding anybody from home since Abridged characters aren't that common. It's cool. I can roll with anything.

C'mon, mun lady. Get to work!

notquitedisney

My dearest writer,

I'm so happy to hear from you again! It's been so long, and you've been so terribly busy. I hear you have somewhere in mind for me to visit? A few somewheres? Oh, I'm so excited! Will any of our old friends be there? We must tell them I'm around!

I'm sure I can find my way around a temple- or .. perhaps the city once again? Another boat? Different from before? Ohh, yes please!

chasingvisions

Ohh yeah, I remember you. So tell me, little miss mundane, is this going to be as much fun as our last little magical mystery tour? Or are we going to try something new?

Same song different verse, huh? Not surprised.

achievement_unlocked

Mun,

Was the journal name really necessary?

eensietay_agicianmay

Oh, please! Did you really think the ~~brainless~~ limbless wonder could've killed me? We're an E-Rated game!

But trust me, I'm just as excited as you are. That underwater hideout is really gonna give those dopes a run for their money! It's good to know I've still got plenty of tricks up my sleeve~

[Also? You're the first instance of a villain reappearing in this series! Not even Mr. Dark-]

Hey, SHHH! Don't jinx it!

...[crossing fingers]

authorisation

I'm flattered, I guess, since you picked me over... well, everyone else. Though, I was expecting you'd pick Miss Potts or Agent Romanoff. [ .... ] Or Agent Hill. Instead, you picked me. And you're excited for that upcoming tv show with me in it. That's... yeah, I guess I am flattered.

[ one last thing, munlady: ] Don't get any ideas about sending me anywhere, not even that place with your bartender. You got a lot of work to do with just him there.

amurrica

etherealeraser

You always say that you want to do something, and then you just sit around. It's nobody's fault but your own if things don't get done. It's just your style...right? Well-- don't let it turn into excuses! You've got to actually focus.

Take it from me, okay? You'll be alright. Just don't give up and keep going forward.

marinebiting

I told you not to get involved with me.

Also this is your final warning: take the fish joke out of the application.

lost_thegame

....I'm really happy that you decided to try me out.

Really, thank you! I think it's gonna be fun. Even if things are pretty rough to start, just remember. The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work! And two heads are better than one. I'm sure the Digimon I can help will be really amazing!

[Who has a mun that'll do her best to get this magnificent creature assigned to Rhyme?]

...Ah-!

......

... It might scare me, but I still have to try.
I'm sure it's got feelings too...

Right?

admirals

Last time we did this you sent me somewhere and didn't keep me there. Now I'm glad you didn't, not the best place in the world but I wish you wouldn't think about doing it again. And no, further along won't help your case either, it's actually worse.

So leave me alone, or at least do what you keep promising someone and let me do my job.

invoker

It's been a while, Mundane. I hope you're doing well this evening. I understand that Europe has suffered many hitches with regards to the release of Persona 4: Arena but now that it has come within your grasp. it seems that your muse for me has been reawakened.

As I understand it, I have come of age in this game and --

And my outfit? What about it? It seems as if the suit was designed to allow the greatest amount of maneuverability... I see nothing wrong with it.

[Mitsuru is a tad unsure about Akihiko's choice of bare chest and cape, but not like she's in a position to say anything...]

fiftypercent

You really think you can pull this off?

...

Okay. Fine. Let's see how long it takes you to realise your mistake. My money is on a week.

metal_bending_hardass

At this point I think you're a hopeless, lost cause. You shouldn't be playing around like this and screwing with other peoples' lives.

Either suck it up and be an adult by leaving us be, or get your ass in gear and actually do something about it.

hintcoinplz

I just lost the people I care about and you really still want me to keep going? What do you even expect me to do? I'm sorry, miss Mun, but I just don't think I can handle anymore.

I just want this game to be over, you know?

notintehkitchen

Mun, I beg you. Please close that window.

I... I can't stop looking for some reason if you don't.

emboldened

( Bucket List. )

dontcallmeflora

You again? Just when I thought I'd be able to go back to my research. You're not still thinking about dragging me off to one of those games, are you? You've got people much more suited for that! So why me? I might...get my robes dirty, or even another rip in them!

[He shudders a bit at the thought. His poor robes!]

Look, just...just do us both a favor and leave me alone. I'm no good for these sorts of ventures.

herartificialworld

You are considering it, my love, aren't you? Sending me somewhere.

You make grand promises and gestures, but I wonder how many of them I can count on. They'll miss me back home, you realize. Greatly. I do hope you stick to those promises of yours, though, darling.

sprayed

[ Needless to say, this whole set-up has got Kat a little cagey. She's lived a life of slipping through cracks and using back doors; being front and center doesn't suit her and it shows. ]

So I'm here. I don't suppose you've actually got plans for me, do you?

[ ...dot dot dot... ]

Great. Didn't think so.

indeediam

I appreciate this, I do.

But are you really sure now is the best time?

learnedtosmile

Don't get ahead of yourself, okay? Rapture's not Gotham.

Besides, I should start with finding a job. I'm gonna need resources if I'm gonna help anyone.

I think we have issues.
