Jun. 10th, 2013

It's alright, Mun. I mean, things considered it's probably better for everyone if they aren't here right now. This place isn't always safe, and I wouldn't want my friends to be put through that.

But..I still miss them a lot. I'm glad I'm making new friends but..I wish I knew how everyone was doing. I don't think I should be asking if they'll show up or not, but if they do, at least I know enough of the place now that I can protect them.

[ he says that, but it doesn't change how he still thinks of them, of all his friends. how it's better they aren't here, at least he thinks, but he knows he feels differently. ]

For now, I just need to do my best here, whether they're right next to me or not.

Still..I can't help but want to see them, anyway.

teekay

It's all right. I understand why they wouldn't accept me. I'm not even a teenager.

But you should make sure to tell them that I'm very responsible. Gavra said it herself - there's no one else she'd trust with a flock of Sevens! I may have been on a lot of adventures, now, and seen a lot, but if there's one thing I know, it's babysitting.

And I guess now I know how to keep people safe.

So do your best. If I can, I want to make sure no one ever goes through Transition again. If adults have teekay, kids won't have to work all of the time. They'll be able to learn to read when they're little. There won't be any more fagins.

Everyone will be on equal ground.

I want that. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that happens.

in_his_stead

(Lily paints an interesting picture: there is a quill behind her ear and a pencil between her teeth.)

I like adventure just as much as the next girl, but this is bordering on mad. What do you mean you want to take me to a different world? It's difficult for me to even wrap my mind around the existence of another world. As far as I knew, there were only two (unless one counts the Afterlife).

(She blows out a long sigh.)

Tell me, will Harry or James or anyone familiar be in said new worlds? If not, I will have severe reservations about entering them and, truly, who could blame me?

ohhhkayyy

You didn't need to bother making this for me. It's not as if I'd be going anywhere. Even if I was...I'd probably just end up back here.

But thanks for noticin'.

breakablegirl

Don't get me wrong. It's kind of great to feel missed. But if you do another impulsive app and then make me leave without saying goodbye again?

Just think this through.

[Like you do? Never?]

Ha, ha, real funny.

queentakesknight

But of course...what's not to enjoy when you're working so hard to keep me pleased?

(Try not to get ahead of yourself, Chrissy; it's not that serious.)

Isn't it? Not only did you do everything in your power to ensure my place was held in my home world, but you even gave me a proper disguise for my infiltration and arranged so many meals for me to enjoy...and let's not forget the added bonus of letting me watch that poor, miserable little virtual unicorn wallow in her own misery. You're certainly not as useless as I thought you'd be.

(Even if that was intended as a compliment, which I know it wasn't, I'm not sure how to feel about it.)

We both know you're enjoying this as much as I am, so be a good little subject and continue serving me; there's much to be done...

(Feeding your ego is worse than feeding you, I swear...)

itsrosetyler

Jus' like you to forget about me until you go to a, whaddya call it? A social -- for the 50th Anniversary of my canon! Now you're jus' deciding to rewatch the first season 'cos you like the big ears better than the... [ gestures with her hands as hair, then goes for the bow tie. ] I'll play nice, yeah? Jus' don't forget me this time.

ohgawhawhawd

Woah, okay, mun, I think you and I need to have a little talk. A little chitty chat if you see what I'm sayin' here. Because, like, you already did this to me once and I had to play that totes weird game and stuff? And I don't know if that is better or worse than being a tiny little sparkly horse.

I mean I guess maybe that would be okay except for that part about if meaning I'd be all kinds of alive again in addition to the whole horse thing. One hun' po' cent not dead anymore. No dead kids here. Whole living shebang, with the breathing and the flesh and blood and the heartbeat and the being able to change clothes. And I don't know if I could deal with that, okay, that is all kinds of hella scary. And on account of me being a ghost I think I am super duper qualified to tell you what is scary.

So what I'm saying is, like, maybe think about this a little. Okay? For your ol' pal PJ.

big_ear

Dear mundane,

Your fingers don't forget, trust me. Not even after this long.

Though, it helps that Itsuki-kun still fumbles through the motions.

Who knew tying a tie could bring back so many memories?

kryptoniteismykryptonite

Look, I'm bored.

Really bored.

Really, really bored.

But not bored enough to wanna be fifteen again, thanks.

runslikedad

So I'm in your brain space? What does that even mean? I don't mind for a little while but I've got planets to save.

You have a game in mind for me? What kind of game? You know, I'm not sure that's such a good idea. I don't think Father would like it. At least you have monsters for me to fight.

Wait, Dad's there?! Then what are you waiting for, mun?! Hurry up and write my app so I can let him know I'm alive!

Current Mood: bouncy

geniuslevel

One new episode and suddenly decide you want to "test drive me"? Like I'm a car? [ That smile she gives? Isn't even close to friendly or encouraging; it's sharp and sardonic, even a little patronizing. ] I don't think so. Go ahead and crawl back to all the other people you've got in this cramped head of yours and leave me alone; I don't have time for this.

knowhowyoufeel

He'd have a field day with this. Are you in my head space, pretending that I'm in yours? Or am I just... What you make of me?

I need more aspirin.

porridges

Hey. Don't blame me if things don't work out. I told you that I'm not reformed. I'm just medicated. And I'm giving you fair warning now, okay? It's hard to get out of the habit once it's been going on since I was, like, eight.

So guard your lock-picks and hide your wallets. Because Goldilocks is here for a visit!

scrutinize

This is not a good idea, even if you do think I could be "useful" there.

... if you're this determined, at least pick up the last few books and reread them. It's been, what, a year? [This has nothing to do with how she's tired of being fourteen and stuck with hellhounds and Quintus, nope.]

westeast

And you were worried.

All that fretting for nothing. Just keep a calm mind and a level head and you'll get along just fine, dear.

Now, don't you have some samples to work on? Go on and start writing, dear. I'll still be here when you're done.

red_fox

Do you really think you are ready for such a task?
I'm not entirely sure I want to leave home myself, but...there is an undeniable promise to this venture.
( His reaction. )

sweetestlizard

I know that you feel disappointment in me, but I cannot go. It does not matter where you want to take me, I cannot go without Harmony. I know that she is... gone, but maybe here I can have hope. You told me all things are possible here, so maybe Harmony is somewhere waiting for me to find her. I must wait. I am sorry.

Current Mood: determined

smartassfancyhat

And for damn good reason, the whole 'event' is fucking bollocks nowadays, even more-so this year. "Gaming machines?" said the faceless corporate, "No, these are social media, tv boxes that may or may not contain games, now if you don't excuse me I'm going to burn down an orphanage while drinking the anguished tears of a widow".

You missed the Microsoft conference you say? Well if intuition is anything to go by, probably all you missed were a few inane features that will only be used twice, an assload of Kinect games and the majority were probably karaoke, and maybe one or two actual games if they weren't busy.

...Oh, you're excited to see what Nintendo has are you? Well I hope you like more of the same you fucking twat, and I know you do.

sandpile

—Shall we?

cancerouscrossing

Oh, I'm sure they're all having a wonderful time! Tom's made things so much more comfortable now. Not like the old days...

Of course, we still have the odd... troublemaker now and then.
You're not a troublemaker... ARE YOU?

[She pauses, then giggles.]

Good!
It makes things so much easier.

mysoulforpie

You know, I gotta hand it to ya...
This is a pretty crappy idea, even for you.

lifeuntamed

A moment of your time, please. You see, while I'm certainly enjoying the attention I'm receiving, I wonder at our future plans. Am I to simply wander aimlessly, or did you have potential game plans in mind?

I really hate being bored, mun.

Let us find a place to play, shall we?

kage_san

You. Mundane, or whatever it is you call yourself. Why is it that even though we let our presence be known months ago, it still took you this long to get us a journal? How are we suppose to find Lord Ghetsis if you don't hold your end of the bargain?

...Yes, we know you know people who have Lord Ghetsis, Lord N, and the chosen one trapped within their heads. That does not excuse leaving us trapped in your's with Rosa.

You know why we don't like her, and you know that will never change.

...This discussion is over.

crimson_sonar

I knew it was only a matter of time until I ended up here. And to be honest, I'm not sure how to feel just yet. I see a lot of people in this place. And hardly anyone I'm familiar with.

You realize you have a lot of reading to do. I'd suggest you get to them. At the same time, try to get other things done. And try not to slack off while you're working.

escarabajo

Hey. I know I'm not an expert on the adulthood thing--don't remind me of all the campus tours I'm gonna need to start doing--but you need to chill out. No cuando sale el sol calienta, si no cuando va subiendo. Well, that's what Dad says, anyways. Just take it one day at a time, yeah?

But in the meantime, now that you've got time for it, you should work on my app. Like. Soon-ish.

~~Don't gimme that look. You'd want to make sure your girlfriend was okay, too.~~

popublur

Geez! Where IS everybody?! Nobody's said anything in this tag for two weeks! Even more than that, probably!

[ Folds her arms, tapping her foot. ] I don't remember my canon bein' so BORING! [ Blink. ] Huh? Studyin'? No way, it's June! That can't be it!

sharpeyedwarf

Ah!

I see we're back at the possibly sending me somewhere stage.

You do realize that you have more important things to do than sending me to strange places - though the bar seems like a nice idea - especially if you confidence in my voice keeps on wavering.

swoopingisbad

I'm pretty sure you don't understand the meaning of 'I wasn't in the trailer, therefore you shouldn't bring me out' in my reasoning.

Yes, you're excited, I understand. As excited as an Orlesian getting new clothing, I'm sure. But let's not go jumping into anything too rashly. It's not like we want to get too involved yet. Especially before we know more information.

...

Don't look at me like that, I've been busy running a country. Well, most of the time.

levantine

Well, that was nothin' short of terrifyin'. Here's a piece of advice: don't go flyin' around when you ain't got a clue where you're goin'. Alright? As much as I hate runnin' away, I think I like dyin' just a little less.

Just get us to the damn Tower of Dawn already! Stop all this screwin' around!

lonenoble

I'm not usually one for many words, but not bad, mun. I was starting to think you'd lost your backbone when comes to actually playing me. I don't want to leave the castle. There's nothing I can do at home. I can try to do something at the castle.

Now... The second home that you're eying for me and heavily debating? That's another thing entirely, though the setting would be more interesting than an average week in the castle. I know it's not the first you eyed. Just make up your mind. I know you can finish the app fast. You just need to make up your mind unless you want it to sit until August. Which is still an option.

You know patience as well as anyone. But at the same time, you're almost there.

A new mission would be good. Tired of all the idleness.

snowpointvictor

You knew this was coming, mun. It was either me or Dustin, and he is a lot nicer to you about this sort of thing than me. I understand you are a little upset what with your apps being rejected recently. Perhaps you should take a hiatus from your last game and try to figure out your next step? You need to relax a little bit. Isn't the whole point of these things to have fun? Then relax!

Zoey.

[Some of you might recognize Amu, except that she's not 12/13. This Amu is 16 going on 17.]

Should you really say things like "I wish I could kill my muses in horrible ways again"? Because that's horrible. I'm in a new game and I like that one much better. I don't exactly enjoy being mauled by monsters or squashed by buildings, thanks.

I'm pretty sure Alice-san is happy not having to deal with your horrible torture scenarios, too. Afterall, you ripped her apart in her only death...

No seriously Mun, you're freaking me out. Stop going through those old posts.

shadowscall

For the love of- would you stop freaking over this for maybe half a second? I'm plotting up here, you know.

geekmonkey

Hey. [ She waves a hand, head tilting to the side as she offers a small smile. ] So. Here we are, huh?

I mean, we both knew it was completely inevitable, but now it's an actual — [ She mimics a ball-shape with her fingertips. ] thing, yeah?

Just a few things before we get, you know, started or whatever. First? Things are a little complicated right now. For all of us. Which, hey, I'm sure you totally get. It's just something you might want to consider leaving at the front of your mind so far as I'm concerned. Second? Under no circumstances will I agree to head out into space. I'm being practical here, munster, not paranoid. I mean — Do you really want Cosima Niehaus in all her glory headed for the stars? If you think I can't shut up now, imagine what might happen to me on like, the Enterprise. Just a thought you might wanna chew on.

And third? I think you and I'll make one helluva team, dude. So, I mean, stay positive, right? Don't worry so much. Right now, that's the last thing either one of us needs to be doing.

Okay, I think that's it. So. [ Thumbs up. ] Rock on.

chimerization

Ah, hello. You're the person who brought me back? I should thank you. So, thank you very much. I'm happy to have this opportunity.

[He pauses to take everything in and smiles, sincerely.]

Such a strange place, but it's beautiful, too... Much nicer than the laboratory. I really am a lucky person. I never thought I'd be so fortunate. First I made a friend, and now this. I can see again, and hear! Maybe I could see the stars. Would that be all right? I know there's a lot I can't do, but that shouldn't be too difficult.

It's fine that I don't have a name. Don't worry. I never needed one, so why would they give me one? [He shakes his head, not bothered by the lack, and he doesn't dwell on it long.]

I can meet people here, too? I'd like that, very much.

asectioneight

Do you HONESTLY expect me to meet with my public now!? I'm scarcely prepared, sweet plebeian.

Au contraire... I'm no stranger to playing the muse, but this is elevating the art to a level of abstraction that seems almost gratuitous. Muses... should be left to their autonomy. Had I ever attempted to reel mine in I would have accomplished absolutely nothing to speak of. She is far too finicky a woman.

But if you INSIST on haranguing me, I'll be in my dressing room... and puh-lease! Get in touch ONLY when you've found a venue for me. Until then, begone with you; The Disciples and I have unfinished business...

[He leaves the door to his dressing room open a sliver, his backside to the entrance as he settles in at his desk, opening a compact mirror and examining his features as though he were appraising meat in a deli.]

hopelessdream

After the last game you had me in, don't expect me to be enthusiastic about coming back. I know there's nothing good lying ahead.

brentwood

It's a culture that revolves around pitting people against each other in some sort of death match. You don't tell me much and I don't know enough as I should about this place, but I'm getting a very Gladiator-esque bloodbath image in my head. I love the movie as much as the next guy, but I... don't think I can hold my own so well against ten, two-hundred pound muscle guys that have been trained to throw lances and maces all day long. Not without my gear. I can take on eight.

[Bloodbath, yes. Ten, two-hundred pound muscle guys? Not unless he gets really unlucky in an Arena. --not that he's aware of this, of course.]

I'm not a killer, and I can't stand by and watch people die, either. These... games are going to go nowhere.

Besides. You have to justify putting me in that setting. Not only are you terrible at getting motivated to write apps, now you have another section to include. Think about it. Do you really want to do this? You'll start confusing people because there's already a... a Tim there. [Wow. Even in rant-mode, that is still very weird to say.] It'll get boring for you, quick. Because I won't be playing along. And no, I don't believe you can have this finished and posted by tomorrow evening. Just forget about it, okay?

takeittothemax

Is this going to take long? I’ve got a very important business meeting ~~[A new episode of Real Housewives of Coast City.]~~ in a half hour, so if we could get to the point?

...Why do I get the feeling there’s something you’re not telling me.

herarrows

I meant it when I said I'd rather they weren't there, that they were safe back home in Haven. But...yes, it is nice to have friends there that I never thought I'd see in these strange places.

Try not to get too many awful ideas about me. I've seen what you've done to the others.

~~Selenay

yoohoo

Why do you even bother bringing me out again? You're not sending me anywhere, anyway.

...And in case you do, no horror games allowed.

[Because nope, she have enough horrible things to deal with in her life.]

seouloh

You gotta stop doing this. Bad for your blood pressure, you know?

punyprotection

As my Mundane, shouldn't the task of locating or "enabling" my subordinates fall under your - uh - jurisdiction? Besides, I have more important matters to deal with right now.

... Well I would have them if you didn't bring me here against my will! [Exasperated sigh.] At least I can see this time.

forgottenbrother

Look, you would be bored too if you had to spend hours in that library pouring over maps and history and the Vala know what else. I'm not even going to be king anyway. I don't know why it matters. Thorin is better for all that nonsense than I am, anyhow.

Mahal, I hope Thorin doesn't end up like Father. All...stiff and formal. He gets like it enough these days. It is a good thing he lets me talk him into going hunting and out to the tavern.

...Grandfather's been getting a bit strange lately. I hope he isn't falling ill.

holylight

Well, c'mon!

[It's said in Mickey's tilted laugh.]

Y'didn't really think it'd be over, didja?

spacehater

Yeah, yeah. We all get it. "Space hater," "space heater," hilarious.

Do me a favor and go find somewhere else to laugh about this, will ya? Some of us actually have work to do around here, and surgeries tend t'be easier without the peanut gallery chucklin' over some dumb joke they can't even take credit for.

[ _{but you don't have any surgeries to d--} ]

Yeah, well. I could at any moment, and that's the point. I'm a doctor, damnit, not a comedy club audience.

[ _{YOU DID THE THING

but} ]

Wouldya just get out've here? I'm not asking again.

oblivionswater

[she's cleaning out her ear.]

Well, I suppose seeing the Master Keeper outside of the Realm of Darkness is quite exciting. Especially considering the implications.

It's been a long time since I've seen anyone.

faceofbeau

I wholeheartedly approve of the direction you've chosen, Mun. No need to commit to anywhere in particular when we can go anywhere and everywhere. We'll have more fun that way.

bigtoughgirl

So we're saddling up for this song and dance again, huh?

Oh no no no, you go right ahead. Don't let the fact that you've tried this multiple times with no luck in finding anywhere you think I'd fit in deter you from pursuing your dream. I'll just be here waiting for you to accept defeat and shove me back into the recesses of your mind.

I think we have issues.
