This is stupid, and you know it. Not so much the roleplaying thing--it's not like I don't know anyone who roleplays, this is the internet, Jesus--but the fact that you're doing this without being prepared. Not even any basic information on my profile or in my journal? Is my name even attached to this thing? (Yeah. You're checking it 'cause you didn't know. I saw that.)

Long story short, if you don't have any of the basic stuff down, you could call me Cloud's half-vampire half-black cousin and nobody could call you out on it. As far as anybody knows you're just bullshitting all of this as you go.

If you wanna do something, do it right. Get on it or I'm not gonna cooperate.

lifesnotfair

Yes, what a pleasure it is to speak with you, yet again, mundane. How long has it been? A year? Two? And I didn't come back, you're dragging me back out against my will.

It doesn't matter. I would have hoped you would have kept your paws to yourself, but it seems as though there's no stopping you now. Then again, I doubt you'll keep me for very long. Your memory pales in comparison with that of an elephant's. I'll be forgotten in time, and I can be at peace once again.

Besides, you have other muses to attend to, do you not?

madethefiresbetter

Let's get one thing straight, filthy Mun-creature! The mighty ZIM is nobody's plaything, and I refuse to take part in one of those ARR-PEE things! Zim has no time for games!! Especially games IN SPACE!! In case you've forgotten, there's a filthy, dirt covered Earth rock that needs conquering! HOW IS ZIM SUPPOSE TO DESTROY THE EARTH WHEN HE IS TRAPPED IN SPACE!?

Do you see my issue with this, Mun-filth? Speak no more of these ridiculous games. DO NOT INVOKE THE MIGHTY WRATH OF ZIM!!

...You're not even listening, are you.

empress_without_a_throne

So mun. You seem to have jump-started my canon again. Maybe. Kinda-sorta. Sad that I can't take as important a role in Volya's story any more buuuuuuut...

To honor this, I think it's time to sing a song~

Unfortunately you're too busy with that State Civil Service exam to think up good parody lyrics to the "Misfits" song from Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Your grasp on priorities really is shoddy, you know that?

solo_patria

Madame Secretary-

If you truly wish to write of it, you may. I will help you, by speaking of it to you, and to the others, perhaps even amongst your own group of my friends though I do not particularly wish to bother those who are left in our first game with it, when those of my friends who understood me best have moved on with their mundanes. I know it is not their fault and that these things happen, and you've indulged me in a lot, but this occurring so close to the day that I did lose them, particularly Combeferre, Feuilly, and Jehan who were not supposed to die but to build what we had won, who I could not imagine having died even as I heard, and witnessed it. It is a lot to bear, perhaps too much.

In our second game, it may be better to deal with these events as we have supportive friends and muns there who understand, but I would not wish to burden them when so very much is already going on that I am uncertain of and I have so much to do to care for the others. I would find, and have, some degree of peace over what has happened, and my memories of life being what they are, presently, perhaps I may get away with it, but it seems wrong to place these things on them when everyone, myself included knew very well what the cost might be and that we may all have to pay it. It is different because it was unfair, not because I did something I must feel guilty about, and their losses when it should not have been so is what bothers me now, not my actions and never the things I led the others to.

I do not mind that I died myself. I died for her, and loving her, and with a Grantaire by my side who found Patria's light in the end, and thus, two of the three goals I took to the barricades had been accomplished and the third must be left unfulfilled, yet I...

I cannot stand this now, and my apologies that you see me sulking like this. I only wish to ask that you be patient with my weakness for a time, until the worst of it has passed. Might you be willing, in the spirit of the way that our relationship has grown more in these past several months than in the years we were not writing together?

Please hold off on what you plan to throw at me on that day. I can hardly bear more of it than I already am.

Is bringing in that terrible Yumi clone from the first season really a good idea? Do you how much drama she's going to cause for everyone? [...] Of course you do, you planned it ahead of time with everyone.

And don't get me started about being in Odd's body...

hisonlygirl

Stop it. Just because you're having fun at some 4th wall event doesn't mean you get to drag me out and start thinking about what sort of place would accept me. I'm a starship, not a toy. Besides, I hardly think anyone would take me considering I'm not like your other ships you've got in here.

So you should stop considering humanizing the Millennium Falcon or Serenity just so you can have a hoard of famous spaceships. Also, don't even attempt to find other shows to watch for the sole purpose of learning about the ships. You've got enough of us trapped here already.

As nice as it would be to talk to the crew of the Enterprise, it's not something I was made to do. I do owe Captain Kirk a punch and a kiss for the things he's done, though.

Shouldn't you canon review first instead of picking me up on a whim? I've got my medical board exam to study for and Jack keeps asking me out on dates when really, I need to be studying. If I don't need him to bother me, I don't need you to either, Mun.

bostonbasher

Hey, alriiiight! 'Bout time you let me outta there, lady! I been wonderin' if you were ever gonna grow a pair and just freakin' do it.

So what's the plan, huh? What kinda "magical adventures" ya got planned f'me?

...

Nothin'? Aw, dat's some bullshit! No, look, you had a plan for dat Heavy, you gotta figure out a plan for me. I'm way hotter n' her anyway! Y'can't just keep a babe like dis locked up while ya takin' the Heavy around doin' whatever she wants an' gettin' laid!

Oh, an' by the way, stop suckin' so much as dat dopey guy-lookin' version o' me, got it? Ya makin' us both look bad! I'm almost embarrassed for ya!

storyofarebel

I think you're kind of jumping the gun there, mun. We only met, what, one day ago?

Still... if you like me that much, I'm not going to ask. I'm really grateful for anyone who likes me. I mean, I know as 'future evil queen', I'm not supposed to have friends, or be liked, or...

... Say, if we find a game, does that mean I don't have to be evil?

canthandleit

Oh no.

You reserved me in a game, but...I don't know how to deal with games. Games have new people and new places and I don't think I can handle new things right now, really.

[her eyes turn down, anxiously darting about her feet. she curls an arm around her front, as if hugging herself]

I don't know why you picked me in the first place...I'm not even your strongest muse...

heltersskelter

Maybe if you weren't being such a pussy about everything then you wouldn't be having this problem.

God damnit we don't have time for this crap! Let me fucking do something about it! They need to be taught a lesson, they need to know what it'll do to you and that they just need to let go.

I can help.

emeraldcrusader

I have to admit. I was wrong.

You got it done. You really did. Despite the kind of place you're taking me to, you managed to get things done.

I may not have that much hope in you, but I'm sure Barry does.

But I'm somehow glad. Just.. make sure I don't go insane over there.

moatswimming

We did, munnie! And I'm always up for a little adventure, but this is quite a while away from Woebegone. It's enough to make a queen throw her weight around!

No no, don't be scared - I'm not a beheading sort of queen! I'm more of a wave-from-the-carriage-and-smile-while-you-kiss-a-corgi-queen!

Really? Not even one laugh?

I already miss Dauntless.

Obviously.
We cannot imagine why you would even ask such a thing.

onelastpromise

Tomorrow's the big day, then? Congrats.

Graduating high school... No, I'm not jealous. I'm happy for you. You've had a rough year - two years, actually. I'm happy you're finally getting out of there. It must be exciting, going away to college. I know you're scared, but you'll be fine. Don't worry about the future. Just relax right now.

Both of those games are opening up tomorrow, after all. Avalar for me, and the mafia one you signed Ken up for. We're as excited for those as you are. Go ahead and have your fun, you've earned it.

...I'm going to regret encouraging you, aren't I?

knowledgeandshade

A city missing its color... Hmm.

[She retreats into her chair, settling among the cushions. Her eyes remain on her book, as the conversation doesn't require much attention.]

Color? What was really lost must be something else. Spiritual power, or even life. However, I would prefer to conduct my research at a distance.

But you seem determined to create a disturbance. Isn't there enough of that around here already?

[She sighs, perhaps faintly exasperated.]

Thanks to you, I won't have a moment's peace anymore.

optout

Concern that my self-assigned demotion and exile would negatively impact future involvement in a game is wide of the point. Neither by my actions nor inactions will I risk getting involved in an alien conflict and frustrate whatever precarious status quo the organics have. If I have to remain in alt-mode and rely on solid-light projections to circumvent any plans you might have to toss me into the throng of their conflict? I will, and readily.

And do not call me by any other name than Orion.

markedviolin

Mun... I know you're pessimistic, but maybe I will see my friends at this place you've sent me someday.

[Marie, darling, you're from a horribly obscure canon.]

I'm well aware... but we can't simply give up like that, now can we?

shadowscall

You'd better make this good...and not your kind of good.

wildrover

Are you seriously sitting there trying to rearrange my list of "crimes" so that my debt is higher than Castle's? Seriously?

Look, I don't see why you can't be satisfied with it where it is and the knowledge that there are probably more supposed crimes in my past that you don't get to see because they happened before Castle came around. You're still trying to make it worse for me, aren't you?

And no, telling me that my list of "crimes" aren't nearly as bad as Espo's doesn't make me feel better. You should feel ashamed for even bringing it up.

Of course you don't.

I wash my hands of you. You're ridiculous.

gamblinman

You need to give me something to do, mun. I'm sick of just sitting around doing nothing. You and I both know I'm gonna hate whatever you decide to do with me, but it's sure as hell better than being bored off my ass.

And for God's sake, quit watching that stupid modded video. I do not make faces like that.

inthemoon

I don't want to talk about this, please. Or ever, actually. I know that I'm often accused of keeping important things to myself, but this is-- is personal. And it's not as if any of it really matters, anyway. I live on the moon. I'm a part of it. I can't ever leave. And even if I could, I--

It still wouldn't matter. So please. Watching is enough. Hoping is enough. Maybe now that Jack's there.. in time..

I'll put a bullet in your head if you keep up with this. ]

summing_it_up

Hhhhhoh no.

Do you– do you even see what you're doing? Mun? You were doing other stuff and you just got back from doing other stuff. There's a lot of other things to work on than doing... [Copious amount of hand and arm motions] this.

Look, seriously. I don't need any attention or supervision. I'm good. I've been good! Now's not the time to...y'know...get distracted? Right?

...No?

Okay. I tried. But really, you should. Do something else. Over there. Away from here.

Now this is a surprise.

Well, I'll admit, there are far more interesting people to play with this time. Let's see how well you do, shall we?

turbochargedpunk

...OK, just because you loved the movie and feel I've gotten the crankshaft over the past few megacycles, doesn't mean you need to try and prove it here. For Primus' sake I don't even know what version of me these other bots will accept! Yes I know you like my Generations design, and I'd love to see a version of me like the Protector armored version. But... you also know I'm THE most hated bot of all time, right? I mean, people love Waspinator, Rumble, and Frenzy more than me!

redboots

Uh, yeah, that little subject line up there? As if. You should know I'm doing perfectly fine. This isn't the first time I've been on my own, you know. I'll be fine. Hey, maybe better, Simon fusses too much and it'll give the old guy a heart attack.

[Yeah you know the mun doesn't believe that, Marceline.]

Well, whatever. It's not even as if I'm completely alone, either. There's Leo to chat with, and Italy, and Gumball is always available for messing with.

[So you don't want any of your friends there?]

Hey, if Finn and Jake or Bubblegum or anyone else popped up, I'd be down with it. But let's be real- how likely is that to really happen?

forwardcompatible

Look, all I'm saying is that you burned out on me pretty hard. Nothing against you, it happens. There is just too much schway here to handle.

But you need to think pretty hard about your options and what you're going to end up doing and if you make a snap choice I'm going to be pretty disappointed, you need to be a little smarter than that to play me. Superficial changes - as nice as they may be, I like superficial change plenty - don't change any of the important stuff really.

So yeah, experiment, see how it goes. Check out the other lady. Just don't do anything stupid.

And if you do go through with this I expect you to put real thought into the skillset, not just the haphazard jumping about you've been doing.

kingofthetoybox

You sound skeptical. At some point, the line between saving and destroying kinda blur. How can you save a world that's only going to go kaput one day? Those pathetic creatures called human beings are in an everlasting tug of war to conquer it or just leave it the way it is. Destruction's going to happen either now or later.

In the choice between those two, I say... Why delay what's already going to happen? I'm a progressive thinker that way, hyahah.

Speaking of inevitable, I don't want you trying to prove that I had other choices to make back then. The boy called Porky Minch would always have become King P, the world's ruler and destroyer. You're one of those idiots, aren't you? The kind of people that uselessly whine about how different things could've been?

Things happened the way they did. Just shut up and accept it. This reincarnation nonsense is like a horsefly buzzing around my ear: irritating.

Mundane. According to the data you have given, it is unlikely, though desirable, that we will find the rest of my team and band mates.

On top of that, I have no equipment to record or study any alien and otherworldly being I may come across, so my time here will be very unproductive. I would suggest take me home, but it is very unlikely you would do that at the moment.

You see? It worked. At least now I can suffer with the petty vindictiveness of knowing that a fictional character made you feel bad. I'm like that on occasion.

It will be an eventful month all around. Ah, Mundane, you're going to give yourself...what do you call it? "Mood whiplash".

((Well why aren't you more worried about Animus?))

It's to be frightening, certainly, but how can I worry when we may finally have a fighting chance? And how can I worry when all of us in my canon are now written by the same hand? So many things that can now be addressed - perhaps there is hope for the people we thought lost! And in Animus as well.

...Hopeful. That is what this month's cusp feels like.

*He can't take all this hope into the game with him, and is certain to feel only fear, game-side. But out here, by the fourth wall? He feels invincible.*

Oh, please. I only have fifteen-thousand things that I could be doing, and you think it's a good idea to send me away from home. Not only that, but let me get this right-- you want to send me before I'm cured, and on top of that, I have to keep up with some sort of object with a strange power that may or may not be dangerous. In addition to all of this, some other version of Tony that won't know me will be there.

And Loki.

Yes, thank you, I think I've gathered that you like tormenting me. I'd rather if we just agreed not to try this little experiment. It's going to go badly and then I'll have your mess to clean up, which is the last thing I need right now.

No, don't give me that look. I am not going to feel sorry for you. I'm angry.

No.

No-- triple no. Japanese no-- that's what you kids are into, right?

So mun, it looks like we're trading one spaceship for another. I do have few ocncerns about this 'Tranquility' ship, however. I thought you were uncomfortable with games with a 'horror' theme. So why then are you so intent on sending me to this place? And are you positive you are not overexerting yourself? You've been in this situation before you realize I hope.

I'd say good luck, but we both know that may be difficult to accept.

Look mun. I may be in this headspace of yours, but that doesn't mean you can start picking up my habits. Just because I don't eat or sleep for days on end and overwork myself doesn't mean you can.

I'm glad that you're taking your time with the application. You're overdoing it right now with everything else. You need to relax and not stress as much.

...Look, I understand why you'd want to have me around again, what with the new game coming out in less than two weeks, but... don't you think we've lost touch with each other since then?

I mean, consider what kind of thoughts you've been having. Sending me to a place just so I could befriend a specific pony simply because we both create clothes... did you actually consider the problems there? Even if I ended up in a game... she has a boutique. Her name is known all over the land, where she's from. She caters to the rich and fancy. Sounds an awful lot like someone I've seen around town.

I don't think it would work out, mun.

Now, please leave me alone. I have a lot of work to do. I suppose you've forgotten what that's like, haven't you?

We need to have a talk about these alternate universes and 'pee-ess-els' you're so fond of. There's nothing wrong with settling into a nice, quiet life as an auror, getting married to Ginny, and having a moderate number of children. That's what I'm supposed to do.

That's the reasonable thing to do.

blight_phoenix

I'm honestly surprised it took you this long. I mean, you've only clocked in, what, 200+ hours into the game?

Okay, this is stupid. I'm writing things down.

I'm not writing the book. Not anymore. At least, not for now.

I shouldn't even be writing things down.

I just don't know what else to do. Everything is just weighing down on me. The nightmares are getting worse.

So here I go. With a journal thing. A journal thing that could fall into the wrong hands. I should just burn this.

Hannibal knows. He knows more than anyone else. He helped me. And I trust him.

You had an entire week to finish and submit the application, yet you did not, and we have now discovered applications are closed for an indefinite, as of yet unknown period of time. Was your procrastination worth missing the deadline? Ill of health at the beginning of the week or not, I do not understand why you could not simply sit down and complete the last two sections instead of playing a game (— no, I do not care that the game features the Captain and myself) and partaking in other frivolous, trivial pursuits.

I think we have issues.
