Jun. 17th, 2013

So you just decided to go and make this journal for me? I only got one episode. That's not a lot to work with. You have barely made any icons for me yet. Don't you think you're just a little bit hasty here sir? If you're serious about this then go and make me some more icons and then we can talk.

Hurry up, at this rate I'll be a grumpy old man before you're done and you wouldn't like that, now would you?

misperceived

You have the worst impulse control I've ever seen in a human. You had me in your head for what, an hour, before you dug up icons? Had part of my history in less than that? Even figured out how much of a part I'm supposed to play in the grand scheme of things, which right now is a big, fat zero. Basically you thought of me so you could save your precious Kiara the trauma of being sent to that dressing room you're in. Just stop and think for a second here. Do you really want a vampire roaming loose among a bunch of people that are effectively trapped in one place? Not that I mind the ease of hunting, but seriously.

Hell, I wouldn't even need to eat that much.

Figure out the age thing tomorrow, would you? You need sleep and I have things to do.

tenets

You play a fool's game.

You preach on the ideals of distraction and what harm they cause you, and yet, you reap the repercussions upon yourself. This is what keeps you weak.

Tell me, child: for how long do you intend to live with such impudent thoughts? You cannot keep me bound by your pathetic hopes, your whimsical desires. You can hardly maintain the balance of your own mundane existence.

My purpose is seeded in me; it is what allows me to serve. What, in life, is your purpose? Or do you choose to manipulate the lives of others, for the realization that you are without one is as cruel as it is just?

ultimateenemy

Mun, shut up and stop whining. You already know you're not going to actually join any of these 'games' because of your motivation issues, so if staring at them and complaining about all the 'pretty premises' is bothering you that much I have a quick solution for you - stop staring. Revolutionary, eh? Go do more of your stupid drawings instead.

No, it would not be funny to make me a Pokemon Breeder. You know very well I'd end up just slaughtering all the damn annoying little pests.

mindreadsstrangers

You see? You only had to try it. I told you you'd have fun.

What am I planning on doing? Ah, right, I suppose that was left a little ambiguous. I'm not sure, really. I could always go back to Kalay or Contigo... [He bites his lip and averts his eyes briefly. Both options had their very pronounced pros and cons, and he's still struggling to understand all the stuff he's learned during his journey.] Or I could go to Vault and help the people of Vale settle down. I'm not sure how well I'll settle back into staying in one place, though.

I'll probably need to see how much help Vale needs. I wouldn't leave my friends to deal with that alone after so long.

[Forewarning: he can and will mind read anyone who approaches him. No one thought to teach him that most people don't appreciate that.]

paterpeacock

Hn-hn-hn. I would suggest examining your eyes, my dear boy- I am still quite dedicated to my exercise regimen so I doubt you shall find anything "massive" about my... well, features, so to speak.

But enough of such crude matters. Truth be told, I understand your choice to put me ahead of your other fathers. For when your other options are a mechanical pretender at divinity, an aberration so terrifying he destroyed that universes "God" itself in a fit of rage... and a poor mortal man, whom to this day will never know if the children he gave his life for are even alive in that war-torn hell, choosing the muse capable of celebrating this day as it deserves is a wise choice.

After all... considering the news that has reached my ears, my heirs are still doing ~quite~ well. I pray they will not disappoint me... and that they treat give my poor, wayward girl just as she deserves.

( Spoilers up to Season 2, Mission 16 )

springcleaning

You don't even have the proper rank to command me, you useless sack of shit.

guards

ooc Spoilers very possible in this post.

When I said I wanted to lay low - this? This ain't what I had in mind. Think I've had my fill of infected and close calls for this life time and the ones after.

Some of them places you got in mind ain't exactly my style. If it ain't blood and death, it's something else just as bad with you, you know that. I'll take clickers or hunters over some of these places you got floatin' around your in head any day. Let's think about this before we do anything we're gonna regret.

dressedinblack

[He takes a seat with a pot of Earl Grey with a cup and saucer on the side table beside his chair. It' looks like something straight out of Masterpiece Theater. He doesn't seem to be either pleased or upset. Prepared might be the best word to describe Kazuya's presence. He waits to speak until after he pours his first cup of tea and holds it in his lap. A beat goes by as he takes a sip. Then...]

I see you have decided to place me in a coma to learn everything you know, Mundane. How considerate of you to not deprive Mai of my presence. She has been worried enough as it is these past weeks. I merely wish to inform you, knowing what I know now, that nothing will change. You can forget about that request for others to interact with me. My sole concern is the ultimate situation in Somarium. Once it is remedied, our relationship will come to an end, and I can go back to my own world and my work there. I do not enjoy these attempts at exposing me to the network or Mai. She has enough on her mind after that stunt you and her own mundane thought up last month. I have been patient with you, Mundane. You know how strong willed I am. Consider this your only warning from me before I begin to resist...

[He takes another sip of his tea as Mun feels cold sweat on the back of his neck.]

alexisluthor

So it's called getting "Supe'd?"

Heh. I was doing that waaaay before it became a thing. Just pretend to be in danger and then ask Superman yourself!

kickassqueen

You really think this is a good idea? I mean, you've had some really really bad ones before...

[ She's been told to think of it as some kind of adventure, but Charlie doesn't believe a word of it. These things always end up with her injured or captured or the victim of whatever kind of nightmare book monster that's popping up as the Big Bad this week. ]

Why don't you just skip me, and take the next one in line? That bald kid seems pretty excited, I think he wants to get out and do some of his kung fu action stuff. Maybe I should learn some from him.

[ She's seriously considering it, because how cool would that be? Learning bending from the Avatar. But wait, it's a distraction, and she grumps a bit. ]

Seriously, sticking me on a train to some weird city with Dean and Sam from the past? That's some Quantum Leap stuff right there, and I don't know if I want to get involved in those kinds of shenanigans. I've hit my limit on the monsters and mayhem, and I totally have other things to do. Like...stuff.

[ Things. She's feeling super eloquent today. Anyway, Charlie is being way dramatic right now, and her shoulders slump just the tiniest bit when she realizes she's not going to win this argument. ]

Can I just claim I didn't get my permission slip signed by my parents and skip the field trip? Pretty please?

[ Too bad so sad, Charlie. She looks massively disappointed. Not only is she 100% positive there will be maiming in her future, but she won't even have her Xbox to keep her company. Why her? ]

chosenchild

....Wait, what's happening?

Miss Mun, I'm sure you know what you're doing. I just don't understand why I'm here.

fencing

If you weren't already considering it, we wouldn't be having this conversation at all.

( a beat. )

It's not exactly what I consider I joyride. I think Captain Kirk will agree with me on that one.

raisingdad

[The redhead regards her mun with a wary trust. After what happened in Paris, it's difficult to trust anyone who she's never met before.]

So.. dad and Beckett are getting transported to a version of New York City where the Hudson River is causing people to mutate and gain super powers? Dad's going to love this. I guess it's a good idea to send me there too because somebody needs to watch him. Not that Beckett doesn't do a good job or anything, but.. he probably needs me too.

[She would like to think that he will always need her in some capacity. Beckett may be his girlfriend, but she's known her dad her whole life.]

Also, I'm not really surprised that the Hudson is causing toxic mutations. We did an experiment in chemistry using a sample of water from the river and you wouldn't believe the gross stuff that's in there. And we're all drinking that stuff. Yeah.

It probably should have happened sooner.

[When it boils down to it, Alexis isn't sure if she's ok with being plucked out of her normal life as a college student and being placed in toxic New York. But the fact that her father will be there makes it a bit better. She'll do whatever she has to do to make sure that Castle is safe.]

ocypodiogenes

Trying to voicetest me when you haven't even made up your mind about if I ended up mute or not. Smart.

You last played the game five years ago, you couldn't beat it, and you haven't tried since. All you have is Let's Plays and a bunch of text files. You've had to infer my entire personality secondhand, and you only want me because I'm a spectral operative.

Okay. But people who've tried to "handle" me before haven't always liked how it ended up.

manofiron

Sorry. Shouldn't you be happy that the whole Survivor-esque, fatally voting each other out of the town thing is over?

I don't know about you, but I've always thought it was better not to have to kill people and watch others die. But that's just me. Obviously I'm the sane one of the two of us, which really doesn't say much for you, for the record.

Look, seriously. It's not the end of the world. It's actually the opposite. You know, since we're all alive again? So how about we celebrate that whole not being dead thing? Well, I'll celebrate. You can do... whatever dull thing it is you do instead.

Okay? Deal.

mendacium

Frankly, I'd been expecting things to turn out a bit differently, too.

It's not to complain, but rather to state a fact. I suppose the problems we now face are sides of the same coin in a way, though one would seem a bit more important. Your wariness about certain narratives is well-founded, dear, I don't know what he is anymore but it's nothing that anyone should pity. Shame about the girl, though, his redhead; I know you fancy her, and she does seem -- sweet, let's say, but even the most dangerous of the blood's effects can be overcome, there's time yet.

I'm just thankful that, while you have your preferences, you're more concerned with the overall story, however it evolves, than certain more romantic aspects of it. Do keep that up, fantasizing about us doing research instead of doing each other is much simpler and more pleasant for both of us (which is not to say that I'm opposed to a rendezvous here and there, you know that, but it's not exactly my priority, and if I get too desperate I can always nudge you to let me play somewhere around here).

intoahowl

...Hey mun. Mun. Seriously.

It's okay. [She looks okay. Her writer does not.] I can wait. I'm not going anywhere.

Besides. There can't be that many werewolves around. Can there?

marcurious

You just can't stay away, can you. Don't worry, you're not the first to be intrigued, and I'm sure you won't be the last.

But let's be honest with one another, friend. A game with dragons may not be a good idea. I'm an expert on Nord history: I know how these things usually go. While I'm fairly sure I could handle myself, perhaps we should look for other avenues. That other you have there seems to take up the entire spotlight, and while I don't mind doing so with someone paying for my services, he and I...Clash.

Anatole sounds good, however! Dismas reminds me a bit of Riften, and I'm sure I can ply my trade. Wizards, after all, are always in demand. Not to mention the fascinating history of the place. I'd love the chance to explore, with plenty of inns within reach. Just think if I could gather a bit of that history to take back with me to the Arcane University.

But the choice is yours, as always. Just...Make sure it's not the messy or boring one.

trimalchio

...Old sport, if you're worried about me meeting someone who looks like me I wouldn't be too concerned.

[He speaks quickly] My father was quite a jet setter. Around the world. I can't blame him. [lies. so many lies.]

Still. when you feel comfortable old sport. I know I'm not going anywhere.

apasionado

Hola Mundano!

That was easier than I thought! [ He laughs. ] I just walked right into your head and there wasn't any resistance at all! Muy Bueno!

Are you going to do anything with me? Aiiiiii~ Are you going to find me a Romano? My cute little Romano~ ¿Por Favor?

hangthedj

'Kay, so, a couple things here.

This whole 'muse' gig? I can dig it. Bein' stuck up in some weirdo's braincase? That's cool. Potentially being a weird hairless monkey sometimes? Don't let me stop ya. But this whole thing where you get down on yourself the whole time? I can't abide by that, dude. I mean, a know an artist is his greatest critic and all that jazz. I've been there, man. But if you keep yappin' about it and I gotta sit here and listen to it, I think we're gonna have a problem.

Not to get all insensitive, but seriously. Startin' to get a little old.

Anyhow, item dos. I don't get why you're so nervous about havin' me here. I know there's that whole 'no established personality' thing, but I'm pretty sure that's a bunch'a horseapples. I got tons of personality.

[...]

And whadda you mean, 'shameful'? Nothin' shameful about a girl speakin' her mind.

Finally, article C. We gotta get some furniture or something up in here. Endless white nowhere-zone just isn't for me, y'know? Maybe get some music up in here, set up some chairs or whatever. Just do something. 'Cause, no offence, but your headspace is lame with a capital L-A-M-E.

That spells lame.

tothepast

Hey - hey! Just what do you think you are doing? I am not just some... some thing you can just pick up and play with whenever you want. I'm not a doll!

And don't even think about putting me in a game, okay? Don't, even think about it!

Hello? Are you even listening to me!? Ugh, why am I even trying?!

shsldeka

If you're going to bring me back out, I'd prefer it if you put me somewhere.

amorini

I know you really want to send me there to help everyone who has 'affection issues' as you put it, but I've only just been reassigned to-

...normies, monsters and aliens from all sorts of worlds?

[The psychological research she could do would be groundbreaking-- not to mention the shipping...]

Well, I guess if you really think I'm up for it, then I'm as good a ghoul as any to try and help. It's practically in my blood, right?

wardenoftheeast

I'm happy, can't you see the smile on my un-shaved face?

I'm back in King's Landing. I know you hoped for much more, but that's were it ended m'lady.

[A short frown on his face]

I saw her reaction, I would be shocked too, if only I didn't have days to mourn and grieve for my loss. I pray to the non-existent gods that I can make her happy even with my sword hand missing.

deathprint

Did you think I'd be happy to see you again after this long? Actually, I was pretty happy you forgot about me.

Get lost. You want to stick someone in a video game? Go talk to Amanuma.

thrice_tested

Snatching me from the jaws of death, are you? If it means I might see Azor Ahai reborn in the flesh, I can't say that I mind. Though I'm not sure what The Seven would have to say about an old man like me being reborn, for the amusement of a boy. [Aemon chuckles.]

Be sure you've a firm enough understanding with the two you're already working with, before sending me away, hmm? I know that she'll need me, but I won't be much use to Daenerys if you can't give me my due attention.

freedomintheskies

This again, mundane?

redhanding

Nostalgia doesn't do either of us any good. Let me lie, and do things with your other toys.

I'm not supposed to be under your control anymore. I've got better things to do than be subjected to this again.

keepadventuring

"Voice-testing"? I haven't got time for all that when Hook isn't even around to confuse. [ PETER, THAT'S NOT WHAT IT MEANS, BRO. ] And what are you going on about, a picture — which picture? Well, obviously Snow White looks bored in that one, Alice's stories never have anything interesting in them, not like Wendy's do.

Can't you see I'm really busy? You're not my Mother, you can't make me do anything. Now off with you, you blockhead, and learn how to take orders before you come back!

futurerevolutionary

First, Hank McCoy takes me into the future and tells me that I'm going to cause a mutant genocide. I find out all these horrible things that happen in the future, and some of those are things I did. And in this future, I'm walking around with Magneto of all people, and worst of all, everyone says that I killed the professor.

And now, while I'm trying to sort all of this out and make things right, I end up stuck in this headspace of yours.

Thanks. Being cooped up with nothing but my own thoughts is exactly what I needed.

...At least I got to see Alex.

sonofgoose

Hey. What? Don't look at me. I don't know why some place that's on the back of a giant turtle makes you think of me before anyone else.

[ ... ]

Okay, fine. It makes total sense. It's just been a while since you've done anything with me.

I thought you might have forgotten about me. But, hey, I guess not! It'll be interesting, right?

And turtles are cool. Turtles are totally cool. I bet that's the coolest eternally swimming turtle out there. Might have some great stories, too. About, uh. Being a turtle.

That swims a lot.

...you better finish up with the other stuff, I've got a cool turtle to meet.

broken_trifecta

Naturally I'm thrilled to come out of hiding all of these years. Most of the old information is still applicable, but I do wish you'd brush up on how you wish to portray me. I was wincing at the old comments you had me make; they didn't exactly jive with your application, to be honest.

Oh don't be upset, luv. You were younger and inexperienced. Growing and learning is something we all do.

That said, please don't hold out unrealistic hopes that you'll be able to find the others we used to play with. They weren't involved with community-based RP and are unlikely to have chosen to do so. What's more, this journal name has changed.

Still, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing some old faces again. Just be sure I become acquainted with plenty of new ones. I'm looking forward to it.

incrediblehulkling

[Awkward silence.]

Billy's not going to like me that much like this, is he.

facilitated

You know what? I've heard the excuses and the justifications, and I'm still not happy. I mean, not that it matters. You're probably going to do it anyway, but it's stupid. It's dumb as hell and you know it. People have left. The rest have moved on. You really think there'd be a place for me there still, even if I actually wanted to go?

...Yeah, didn't think so.

pulitzerprize

You can't even find icons from the right source yet. Trusting your instincts is important, but you need to have all your ducks in a row before taking things public, so to speak.

bigshoestofill

We've talked before about this, sending me somewhere. I thought you'd decided against me when you went back to looking at someone else, and don't go saying you're looking at that castle just because you'd like to try it out again. You're busy with someone else now, and the others there can do my job.

Besides last time I went I wasn't a fan if you remember, I'd like to not go back to it.

And don't go looking at that ship either, we've talked about that too if you remember. I'm not needed there so leave me be and go back to the others.

misperceived

...I can't believe you did that. You-

You want me to live off of blood in bags? Oh sure, the mods probably won't have a problem with me feeding off of people as long as I'm kind enough to ask first, but no, you just have to have another option.

That's fine, I just love cold blood. I'll yank a bag out of the fridge and pour it into a glass, no problem! Chilled O+, my favorite.

It's too much to hope for that you'll change your mind and not send me, isn't it?

waiting

Hey. Hold up a sec, would you?

Dying three times in nine months is kind of overkill. Don't you think I deserve to catch a break after everything else you put me through?

And stop trying to make that other thing happen while you're at it, because seriously. Seriously? I don't need my life to be any more complicated than it already is.

shezow

[ He starts out speaking in a high pitched voice, obviously forced. ]

So, we're doing this. We're actually doing this.

[ A pause and he sighs, dropping the falsetto and returning to his more masculine voice. ]

Never mind that for now, I guess. It doesn't matter here, right?

Anyways, I can't say I'm surprised. Although I do wish you'd upload more of the other icons already.

The sooner I can kick some the better, though it's gonna suck not having Kelly, Maz, or Sheila around. ...Don't tell them I said that, alright?

singandstitch

OI! I'm sick of you jerking me around, Mun!!!!! Man, and I thought George was a pain in the ass!! Can't you just make up your mind already??

dwalin

I'd say this is a fair beginning to our adventures together. But what's this about not killing the dragons who take all those away from their homes just as they're needed the most? There are enough of us to give those dragons a run if we put our heads together.

bluematters

Despite the horrors you and the others think of, I do have reason to be thankful of being pulled into all of this. Yesterday was a good day, even if it wasn't a holiday back when I'm from.

It ment something, to see how happy it made them.

Thank you for that, Mundane. Belated as the thanks may be, and knowing there are future horrors that await. Thank you, and their Mundanes as well.

demonophobic

...m-maybe we, we'll find s-someone to th-thread with, soon. Even if, if w-we can't g-get into a game, Someone w-will talk t-to me. I'll just k-keep trying, I g-guess...

Current Mood: depressed

bore

I do appreciate the avoidance of my old nickname when it comes to picking out a moniker. This one, I think, has a little more weight to it. [ A pause. ] Unless you mean it by its other definition, in which case I may have to object.

In fact, I may have to object to the whole enterprise; I'm— I'd rather not go into it, and you know perfectly well why not.

And besides, I'm bloody well not going anywhere without Tessa.

girlnextdoor

Glad to be back, but... you really need to decide on where you're taking me from, mun. Pick a 'canon point', do your review, we'll go from there.

Oh, and.... it wouldn't hurt to find Clark, right? And the others? That'd be great.

I think we have issues.
