May. 22nd, 2013

Really, writer? You're sending me here?

Well, I guess it's better than that intergalactic Wal-Mart you planned on sending me off to before. Yeah yeah, I remember you sending me to a spaceship that had similar.. "features" at this new place, as you call it. And now that you found something similar, you jump ship and dump me in it.

Wonderful relationship we have here, Writer.

Just make sure you actually go through with it this time.

yournumberone

Hey, mun, lets go for at least three steamy scenes a day, okay?

[...No.]

What do you mean 'no'?!

l016

Mundane, I'm aware you enjoy staying up late, but, well, if I may say so, it's not really beneficial for your health. Of course, I can see why you'd prefer to still be awake and while it means I does get some time to stretch my legs, I don't want to sacrifice your wellbeing for a bit of.. um, breathing space? I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure how to word it, although I think you can understand my feelings, yes? I mean, it's why you've chosen me over someone like Phi or Sigma or Dio - it's because you can understand me, even though I can't properly communicate with you.

Oh! I-I started babbling. I'm sorry, I was just caught up in our conversation. A-Anyway, please get some sleep, soon. If you fell asleep tomorrow, you could run into some trouble.

Goodnight, mun. And... Thank-you.

destin

I would express stunned disappointment to you here and now for this glaring lack of forethought, but, unfortunately, this behavior of yours was and still is most expected, and rather not stunning at all. Creating this account on but a whim...you've honestly not changed at all in the three years we've been apart, even if you've allowed me to change and be "less confusing".

Honestly, think about what you are doing. You've no plans, no direction you are trying to go with bringing me here, nothing at all. Are you trying to make yourself look a fool while dragging me down with you?

[.....]

Your time is better wasted on Vicente's sister or on the sorceress, if you so wish to "play" from my world.

ruby_roses

...Yeah, I'm still here. Imagine that. Now... it's one in the freaking morning, and unless there's a ravenous pack of wolf-men busting down the door, I'd kinda like to get back to sleep.

[But Ruby...]

Go to sleep already, sheesh...

powertochange

Because having me suffer at the hands of a psychopath for 5 years just wasn't enough, now you want to give me a love interest named "Genie." I swear to Halo- if I could kick you in the face right now? I would.

[But Lex, she'll make all your wishes come true~!]

... can I switch muns with someone?

thecalmone

Dear Player,

I understand that you truly don't want to disappoint anyone, and you would feel terrible if you were to make any mistakes with me, but please, relax just a bit? You know the material. You have, in fact, been playing me for nearly a decade, if admittedly not as consistently as I would have liked, and you have never once been told that you were doing terribly.

This means that you can calm down. Yes, you're a little rusty. That is okay. Really. I promise. I'll forgive you! I think your friends will too, and Brother will just be happy to see me. Especially after I rescue him from Winry's dogs a couple times.

And look! I'll have a body so I'll be happy too! Everyone is happy!

Now, can we move on to your really bad idea about sticking me in only the loincloth from my armor when I arrive? I'd really like to not do that part. Really, really would like to not do it.

Well wishes,
Alphonse Elric

obsoletion

Whoa, whoa — Can we not with this whole Blaming Topher For All Of Our Problems™ thing? I didn't, strictly speaking, do — anything. I mean, there you were doing whatever it is you do, and I? I said nothing, munfriend. You were the one all, 'Oh, hey, let's a'huntin' we will go through the Tumblr tags'. And, I mean, wow, if I wasn't already enough of an egotist? Totally flattered, don't get me wrong. But what were you expecting? Silence? No no no. We don't do silence in the Topher Zone.

I get that you're not very organized and your life has been all — you know, lifey with the horrible and the ick — but you do realize that one of these days? I'm sensing some serious giving in here. Remember that application you started? Look at that, me too. Finish it, maybe? ...Or, on second thought, rewatches are always a treat. Not that I essentially enjoy watching my life happen before my eyes or anything, because, heh, talk about Twilight Zone — Inspiration is the word I'm looking for! That's what I'm here for: Inspiration. Think of me as your sweater-clad-genius-of-a-thinker Muse here to get that fount of creative juices flowing.

Why should you trust me? Good question. Answer's even better, because you probably shouldn't. But, uh. Imagine all the shenanigans we could get up to, right? Just like old times? ..Creative juices. Let's get with the flowing already. The radio silence in here might actually kill me. Again.

Okay, so maybe that was a bad joke, but that doesn't make me any less right.

artifacthuntinginventor

It's about time you've gotten around to finishing your "canon review." It's boring up here, you know. If you send me somewhere, I do hope it's somewhere exciting. I don't know how much more boredom that I can take.

Oh, and as for thinking of finding people from Sanctuary for me to spend time with, I do approve.

dreamsonwings

Mun-san?

[For the first time in awhile, she starts to smile. After everything that has been going on, Sora is happy that something good has happened.]

Thank you for everything. I didn't think I would see a friend show up there and now he's in the city. Maybe he'll be happy there too since it's bigger and I bet he'll love the hospital. But most of all...I'm happy that I was able to protect him a little. It's been awhile since I felt like I could help and I'm really grateful for it.

[But it's on to business now...what's this about another game?]

So this place you're thinking about is a camp where everyone is a half-god? But what about my parents? Wouldn't it be kind of hard knowing that everything I knew before was a lie? I don't know how I would act in front of someone who left me behind like that...

[And then she frowns at the idea of fighting. Mun! You said nothing about this!]

Mun-san! You know I don't like fighting! There has to be another way that I can help!

unvarnished

Look, I... of course I want to be with Emma. But I think everything going on back at that castle is enough, isn't it? What I found out about Neal, and looking after Aspen.

But I'm going to try going anyway, of course. Not sure if I'll make it but... I have to try.

pablo

The ending was regrettable, but an almost foreseeable conclusion to the devastation I invited like the blind fool I was. Words of pity nor sympathy will ever make up for my idiocy in this situation, but perhaps now I will be at the least allowed to atone. I can only blame myself for the grandiose charade that stretched on for too long and without intermission. For that, I will never forgive or forget my sins.

...

Actually, I must correct myself for I have gravely misspoken. The only regret I have is for not ending it sooner. The ending itself was not satisfying, but I do not regret my actions in it. I did what was right.

It is a shame that I must leave if you are to find a new realm for me to occupy myself in. I do not prefer to remain, but I feel it is the only place I deserve to be in for all that I caused. What am I do to do in another place? I cannot even begin to fathom it, nor explore my imagination for possibilities. It is a very abysmal state of mind to be in, but another thing I feel I deserve.

...

I prattle on far too much. Do as you wish, puppeteer. I wash my paws of this bloody affair, even if they will never be clean.

bounder

You want to send me there? With him?

I-I don't know what your plan is, but that laughter is pretty suspect. Stop clutching your face like that! It's not adorable, it's not a good idea, and I really don't think that it's right of you to be entertaining those kinds of thoughts! We're not even really friends, he pretty much almost once tried to, you know, erase me... you're ridiculous.

-stop watching those episodes! You're not going to find anything you don't already know, and- hey, get your eyes off that reserves page. I haven't given in yet!

...why don't you just send Midorikawa, anyway? He'd be better at it than me and you know it.

avengeful

Okay, sure, drag me around. Technically I'm already on a... road trip. Extended. Road trip.

[That's what he's been doing, but — he can't say he's been enjoying the events back home. Last he checked, dad was in piss poor shape and Dean wasn't fairing much better, either. Guess that's what happens when demons fuck your shit up, but he's starting to wish life was just a little less complicated (like he does just about every day).]

And that road trip is pretty messed up right now; I'll let you know when I'm actually interested in all this future crap you're being tight-lipped about when I get my hands on that yellow-eyed demon, finish this once and for all. Once that's all over with, I'm not gonna be worth much for writing about.

I mean — whatever happens after that can't possibly be anything we can't handle.

... Right?

((ooc: spoilers are okay with me, just as a reference (so this is also a warning there may be spoilers in comments); I'm already plenty spoiled on the last 3 seasons too

JUST STRETCHING MY WINCHESTER LEGS :|b))

losthere

No.

I don't need snuggles.

...

No.

I don't need company.

suspiciouslyabsent

You'll see, soon there'll be a new book and me and Shaggy will go to Winterfell and kill the traitors with Lord Manderly, and no one will think you're clever.

oxygentank

My first thought was that I wanted to be left alone and that this didn't stand a chance in hell, but now that I've had some time to deliberate? I just wanted to say, I'm in.

I don't have time to wallow. Not that I wouldn't like to sulk and do some impulse eBay shopping, but. Well. I don't really have the time, do I? Let's do something new. Anything. Maybe all I need is a change of setting, to get out of the house.

You've probably got something ridiculous or dangerous in mind.

assholewithagun

[Nick is in an absolute irate state right now.] Mad? You're seriously asking me if I'm mad right now?! No, it's pure sunshine and daisies -- of course I'm fuckin' mad, you got my goddamn nose broken!!

savageantinous

If you're going to do this, I have some ground rules you must follow.

Re-read and finish the reading of the source material. You've never been particularly disciplined, and you'll find that discipline is something I require. In this hobby you'll have people relying on you to do your part, so make note to do that and do it well.

It is true that this cause is one I can gladly support, but my first order of business will be to fully understand the situation and understand the oppressive arm of tyranny I will be destroying... if it is indeed that at all. I can't say I'll be pleased to be used by some unknown hand. It would benefit you to keep those things in mind - they are, after all, the very basics.

Work and be mindful and you'll do well.

ex_xwing710

This really isn't.. the best idea. You know you'll have to choose a canon point, and more than that, you'll have to decide how different my history will be.

For the record, my vote is for a slightly quieter point. I could use a break. Maybe sometime before Leia's marriage? I'm not really that picky as long as I have time to breathe.

drivememercury

...are you sure you don't mind?

[Ami, please. You're perfect for this place. Have I ever steered you wrong before? Really. Something else is bothering you.]

It's not that, it's just...no...no, it's rude of me to say so...

[Spill it, Ami.]

...i-it's nothing! Nothing a little dusting off won't fix! It's the honest truth! I sincerely believe you know what you're doing!

......

sharingan

Don't get so excited.

It's pathetic.

acquisitiontime

You forgot?!

All this time you've been sitting on this untapped goldmine, full of unsuspecting customers who've never even heard of the Ferengi before and you simply forgot to bring me?

Think of all the profit I could have been making!

[A moment of silence for all that wasted money. Oh, the things Quark could have done with you.]

Very well, let's not waste time. I'm here now, and my customers and their credits are out there just waiting for me to take advantage of them.

Don't forget the hundred and seventy-third rule of acquisition: It's never too late to make someone else's money your own.

godtellsnolies

Just what exactly do you think you're reading?? To think anyone would have me say such..... Such cliche mortal words! Don't get any ideas for those applications of yours, do you understand? I will not have you adding frivolous traits to my personality! Hasn't your kind butchered everything about me enough throughout your history? Clearly there are no depths that your lies won't sink to.

Ugh. I'm honestly not so sure that I can stomach anything you're planning. Your ideas of "interesting" are as annoying as something Hades would come up with.

pitiedthefool

[See this face, mun? See it? This is the face of the bowlcut who is not impressed by the shenanigans.]

I'm glad you left me unaffected, but...

[Siiiigh.]

I'm beginning to understand why those three disliked rumors so much.

firey_pussy

Mun?

Can we not, you know that no place would willingly take me given the lack of information. Before you even think about it, a few chapters won't do anything, I have less than that Kiri kid you have running around.

As much as I'd love [Sarcasm.] for you to put me in some torturous place, it's not going to happen. Give it up already.

mostcharmingone

Well I must say I'm surprised. I thought I'd been forever retired. I can't say that I mind being taken out of the box. It was a bit dull. Although I would like to humbly request that if you consider putting me somewhere that you make it somewhere pleasant.

no_tinder

No.

No.

Of all of the ridiculous ideas you have ever had, this is by far the worst one. You are not sending me there. You are not going to even entertain that thought any longer than this.

Particularly if you find it amusing with the supposed Gryffindors going there.

No.

decks

( hence, vague spoilers for the latest chapter under the cut. )

towerlocked

Do you truly seek to bring me back? What battles shall I have to face this time? Another evil queen, perhaps, out to take the hearts of the innocent? I will do what I must, as always, and will fight if that is what is required.

Though perhaps waiting until this "ATP" would be a wise choice.

slyly

[ With an air of amusement: ] There's a little something lost in translation, isn't there? That old childhood nickname, for instance — Littlefinger. Still true enough to its source but no longer with that double meaning.

Not that I would make complaint — I rather like having the opportunity to stretch my legs. I've had precious little to do recently, despite your new wealth of time.

everydays_great

Oh wow...! Hi, mun! It's been a long time!

Are you well? I know you've been really busy lately. I hope this is okay, though...I wouldn't want to bother you...

Oh..! Will I be able to meet Big Bro here?

I hope so! I'd love to see him again...! Oh, but I don't mind waiting. I know you're not really sure what I'm going to do now, and that's okay! Just do your best!

And I promise I'll be good.

silenceissilver

...

*He frowns in disapproval. Why is she going to the lengths to get him a "pb" he doesn't know. How strange. She just beat the game, and now is trying him out? She hasn't even restarted the game for more than 2 hours with a far chattier "him".

*He tugs up the tall neck of his tunic a bit more, hunkering his shoulders a bit. Maybe he can just wait this out....*

unidentifiedandfantastic

The last thing you needed in here was one of the shrine maidens. Especially her. She's never going to leave me alone. The goddesses and the kappa were enough, don't you think?

Pretty soon I'll be able to start my plan in that Holly Heights place. Just a few more things to figure out. Like how to get everyone together. The Yama's going to be the tough part. But I'll figure it out. This wouldn't be as amusing otherwise.

theignorantfool

No, really... You don't need to find another game to put me in. OU, AU or whatever.

So just stop with whatever is going on in that head of your's. I'm perfectly fine with the way things are right now, I don't care how quiet it is.

parousian

Hn.

Same as always, Hashirama.

hanji

You know miss-mun, I hope you're aware that you only have two more days to get my application in. I've been counting the days because I can't contain my excitement! As much as I do love my titans, I think a nice change of scenery is needed! Plus, there'll be plenty more new subjects I can do my experiments on!

But the last thing I want for you is anymore unneeded stress, so don't rush and I'll help you as much as I can.

valetnotbutler

If I may, sir, I can not help but find error in your decision.

While I would appreciate returning to Mr. Wooster, I am hesitant to enter an area populated by people of the... equine variety. To be perfectly honest, I would much prefer to avoid all of these games you have contemplated. There appears to be little use for a valet.

If you were to send me to this attraction, I would highly recommend sending an application to, ahem, "My Little Jam Jar" sooner rather than later, sir.

This is all a simple suggestion, sir. I can see the wisdom in testing how we work together.

teachmelesson

[This dark gray cat's ear flicked at the noise the mundane was making, shoulders hunched, ears flatten and give the mun a warning hiss. This cat was not a fan of two-leggeds, having not a very close contact with them. Not that the mun can actually comprehend total cat language, but this might be an idea of what the cat is saying:]

I have no idea what this "book" thing you're talking about, but I don't like the sound of it at all. You say you want to get a sound of "my voice" as you call it, without even actually attempting to "know" me. Not like any two-legged should or could bother to understand a cat. Now leave me be. I have duties to attend to in StarClan.

speedygoldenboy

Trying to find a new world to throw me into seems a little cruel, don't you think? Then again, you like using me as your whipping boy for something I can barely remember.

If- If I knew how much of a mess my going back in time would have created, I wouldn't have done it. But she was my mother...

[ He sighs and crosses his arms lightly. ]

You've already reserved me at one place, I've noticed. Considering your options, it's not as bad as it could be for me. I don't know how keen I'd be on cuddling with strangers, though.

whatisreality

So. You're back. Charming. Don't expect me to be excited. The only reason you're pulling me out is because my show is back in June. If you're really interested in playing me - for real this time - you need to do some serious review.

playithard

Look. I don't know what you think you got going on with having me here.

I have stuff to do, people to look out for.

pyreflying

[He laughs, dry and with his usual hoarse quality.]

Kid, my story's been over for quite some time now. You really think bringing me back-- [And he has to smile a bit at that.] --is really such a bright idea?

No plans, either, just taking me out for the sake of taking me out... hrm. How reckless. This really must be some pleasure cruise for you, kid.

...Well, looks like I have no choice but to tag along.

unkindness

The decision you have made, to send me to one of your 'games...'

It is, needless to say, flawed. You may not have as many constraints on your time or responsibilities as the last time you attempted this...however, I do. I also refuse to take part in the conflict of another civilization, something that the premise of this so-called 'game' requires.

You will re-evaluate your decision and come to the correct conclusion.

unprofessionally

"To boldly go where no man has gone before."

[Jim grins.]

Catchy, right?

tobethequeen

My Lady Mundane.

It is an honour upon which you bestow on me, and I thank you for not choosing that name. Such would have been in poor taste and having little to do with mine own desires to be wed so many times. But, it seems that there is still much to be done. And, while it is considerate of you to take into account my desire to see my dear Loras again, I fear the venue in which you choose is not of my taste.

A point must still be chosen, and while you and I know that this evidence is untrue, it is still a mark upon mine honour which I would like to see dissolved. It seems that such would need to wait though, even if these witnesses have borne false. Perhaps a slightly kinder canon point?

policebrand

Another drive around the freeway, mun? That's fine by me. I'm sure Zach would appreciate the extra leg room.

Ah, the imagination. A marvelous thing, don't you think? Inside of a person's head there is no such thing as a 'dead end'. Just long, winding roads that can take you anywhere. Amazing.

Well then, mun. What's our next destination?

pilotzero1

Hn.

If you intend to do something, do it. Don't waste my time.

thespianwolf

Got hit by a wave of nostalgia huh?

Been awhile since you last had me out, been what, three years since that old game fell apart? Can't say I'm completely torn up about it considering some of the things you had planned for me.

[...]

But, yeah, I miss the boys too.

mindover

Miss Mun, I appreciate all the effort you're putting into this, but maybe you should wait a bit? I mean... well, you don't have all the details about my world yet! You shouldn't make stuff up about things you don't even know at this point...

...

What do you mean you'll "just retcon it later"?

bladestorms

Ooooiiiii, it's about damn time you let me out to do something. No offense and all, but it's kind of boring up here. I don't even know if I should be glad that the old man's busy most of the time or not- he's kind of a stick in the mud, sure, but at least when he's here we can pass the time by sparring with each other or something.

You don't even have to put me anywhere, just let me out more! Yeah, yeah, you have obligations and stuff, but seriously. This place is for us to tell you guys things, right? Then I can tell you this: you definitely made the right choice tonight. For once.

[ ... ]

Yeah, so what if I'm biased? Doesn't make it any less true from my point of view.

fuzzycuffs

Summoner, do you honestly think I have the time for one of these games you wish to send me to? Being trapped in some world, somewhere, with some kind of vague objective is not on my list of things to do. I have criminals to apprehend and foes to defeat on the Fields of Justice. Not to mention yordles to catch.

...Though, I suppose I wouldn't mind a short vacation from that punch-happy ruffian I'm constantly babysitting.

whomp

Wowza, would you look at this! Finally, I'm outta' that dusty old head a' yours, Mun. [she taps her forehead with an audible TAPPATAPPA sound to reinforce her point.]

I saw you looking at some of those meme things earlier, but yeah, you're right, they're all just full of boring grown-ups. Though there were some cute boys there! Heh... heheeh...

What do we do now? Maybe you can make me some more snazzy icons!

calibrates_big_guns

So are you going to tell me what my dossier said, or am I just going to be left wondering why Shepard keeps smirking at me?

cagedcircle

From one revolution to another, mun? You've got an eye for irony, and I...I'm not sure about this. You saw what happened to Columbia. You've seen what the Vox Populi have done. You...you saw what Daisy Fitzroy almost did...

[A small, shaky breath, and Elizabeth wraps her arms more tightly around herself. She shakes her head.]

And it all happened because I blindly believed they were being oppressed and that they could bring about a positive change. I changed history, and...

[A beat.]

...But, 'for we walk by faith, not by sight.' I suppose it's better than going back, and being locked up in a cage. Both yourself and Mr. DeWitt know well what I'd much prefer to that; just don't take my hesitation as consent, or complacency. I have every right to voice my reservations.

heroineofooo

Come onnnnn mun. Let's go do something fun!

Why not put me in one of those games dude? Somewhere where I can go on lots of adventures and kick butts and junk. Oh, oh, and make sure Cake's there too!

infragment

This is a bad idea... You do realize that. You try to get into my mind as I get into theirs, and it becomes a cycle. A cycle neither of us will escape from. And there will be nowhere for us to go.

But we both already know what it's like entering the minds of... others. So maybe it's your design, just as it is mine.

mathemagician

I wish I could say that was short lived, but you had me there for quite awhile. There really wasn't anything left for me, so don't think on it too much. The people who were most important to me were already gone.

The next time you want to put me somewhere, try to make it a little less emotionally scarring. I'm surprised you did this well. I expected a lot worse.

[sigh.]

I don't think a city at the bottom of the ocean will be any better, but as long as my friends are there this time.

idiggiantrobots

...wait. WHAT?! What the hell?!

I think we have issues.
