The square footage is pathetic. Their country club isn't nationally ranked. It's, like, the ghetto. What next? Government housing and food stamps?

I'm not eating stamps.

contusive

What are you doing? If you have a lot on your plate, then this isn't helping matters. [ ... ] You aren't listening, are you?

rrbando_rambo

Oh sure! I could go anywhere right about now. I have good memories of this place!

Hard for me to focus? *A grin.* Ooooh yeah, I can't help m'self, you brought me out on my birthday of all days. I been meanin' t' make cookies, it's my favorite day o' th' year!

Nobody suspects to get a gift on someone else's birthday, I'll give 'em out t' whoever wants 'em!

How d'you think Chipper'll react if I go dump a batch of cookies on the readin' chair in 'is study?

personalgentlepony

I see what you mean, madam. Mr Wooster does seem to be "in over his head," doesn't he?

notspoony

My, my! My dearest mun, It appears you are quite taken with "ooh, shiny syndrome", if I might use your very words. Does my presence in the beta enrapture you so? Perhaps you are of the mind to be roused by sarcasm? ...Or perhaps you found my altogether less-distant and if I might say quite close disposition quite... stimulating?

Do not act so coy! I am quite familiar with the way your mind works.

[There's a laugh.]

...Ah, dearest one. You certainly do fall quite hard for lives being saved and all those heroics. It's somewhat...

Ay any rate, I can only pray this is somewhat more permanent. Not Eorzea, I am of the mind they fully intend to utilise me and the others, despite your fears. I mean you. You shan't let me down, hm?

rustypistons

I have my reasons. You know it as well as...he knows it.

I pray I am not about to make a grave mistake. There may still be something to salvage out of all of this.

paysdelamour

Another year gone by... ah la la... so many things have changed, and yet, many more have stayed the same, non? We have a saying in France - un clou chasse l'autre. "One nail chases the other". It means, simply, life goes on. And that, at least, has given me comfort in this past year. Despite the things you have thrown at me! [He gives a small laugh.] Alors, je suppose, the lion's share.

I know you have been very busy with Angleterre as of late, mais... it was very sweet of you to consider me on my national holiday. I know you are tired from your Fourth, mais, fireworks and a parade are always thrilling, oui? And they are most fun when they are French. [A smile, before he puts his cigarette back to his lips and takes a deep breath. After releasing the smoke upwards, he thinks for a moment.] Le Musée du Louvre, et l'Opera, they are free today, I think. Of course, I have not been paying much attention to those things. I remember when most of those works were written, and painted. Though it is nice to stop in, once in a while. Perhaps I will take a small look around before the parade.

[He takes another drag, this time releasing the smoke from his nose. After a pause, he speaks again.]

I would not mind, you know. Joining a game again. Though that is for when you are much less busy - you still have one game you must return to, and another you were planning on joining. Your obligations take precedence, bien sûr. I will wait. [Another of his grins lights up his face.] I have stayed by your side for this long, mademoiselle - it would be terrible of me to abandon you now. I would hardly be able to call myself a gentleman, then! Even if I do have to hear Angleterre complain more often... though I can still handle him on my own.

Do what you must, ma belle. I will be here. Joyeux Quatorze Juillet. Now if you will excuse me, I believe there is a bottle of wine calling my name...

nightlightly

[ an uncomfortable shrug. look, just because he's going to be some sort of norse god/human hybrid thing doesn't mean he's going to be any less himself. ]

.. Not shy. Just. [ a self-conscious toe-scuff. ] Lots of people there. My age. Not used to. [ he only ever really talked to mani, after all, and after ragnarok, he didn't even have him. ] Will be nice meeting Hiccup there, though.

[ a huff. ]

Maybe new journal, new icons?

deckerd_bp110

... Duke and Toudou-san are there?...

[You're not even sure you're going to app, mun.]

And Kagerou, too?

[He's both elated and anxious. Kagerou is alive. He has a chance to live - but how would he react to see Decke-

He stops when he realizes that he's thinking already as if it was sure he would get to Nautilus..

Don't you dare make him hope if you don't intend to follow it through, mun. Don't you dare.]

my_fall_for_you

We both know you're not going to find a game for me to play in. You're too busy as it is and you never manage to stay in a game for the first activity check. You're just nostalgic and excited because you're rewatching and in a week you'll have forgotten all about me again.

Hmph. You haven't even started the second season yet.

nyah_a_gogo

Hello internet!!! I'm Catreece and I'm a cat. My hobbies include sitting in the sun all day, eating, and chasing those little sticky things you get at the grocery store as they roll down the wall. My owner's name is Colin and he's really nice even if he's a total geek, but that doesn't matter because I love him anyway.

But this is great, miss mun! it's just like being on the virtual internet except everyone talks with words and smiley faces instead of face to face. And I'm super excited about going to a game where I can sit in the sun all day in a new and exciting place. But I'm a little worried to...

[She makes a pouty face.]

Without Colin around who will feed and take care of me! It's making me sad... But I'm sure someone nice will come along and take care of me until I go home or Colin comes to visit!

downplaying

Supposedly a dedicated writer will never be done, describing the subtle changes of emotion to run over her features while talking.

I know I never will.

She's source material enough for ten additional volumes. Ten more volumes that will never be written, sadly.

You are in every position to change this, my dear. In case you needed the reminder.

Kindest regards,
Claude

nervosa

I've never had to be with other people that aren't my friends or mother before.. I don't know how to deal with this! Trying to make me join a group isn't going to make Ragnarok happy either! He's just going to hit me again— my nose! He'll poke me!

This is just asking for trouble and you know it! Please don't go through with this. Handling it will be too hard. A-And—

Ragnarok! Quit pinching my nose! Stop hitting me. I'm bruising! You're going to make me bleed again—

'Then quit your whining. You've dealt with worse!'

You're whining as well! Mun, stop him. Please!

[No can do, Crona. Sorry.]

Current Mood: nervous

You've only completed 23% of my actual canon, you know.

Just because you've played an engineer from some little scrapper ship that got 14 episodes and a movie doesn't mean you can just jump right into the depth of this canon, similarities between us aside.

Unless you've suddenly acquired vast knowledge of the progression of technology and its use over four television shows (none of which you've seen in their entirety) this is a pathetic and irresponsible attempt that will get you laughed out of the canon.

Well, it seems like we both have lingering 'disciplinary issues.' I guess that means you better start researching...

tylendel

I...get to see Van?

[Can't you pick someone else? he signs.

Go away.]

archerofice

So you're dead set on this, are you not? I don't see why you're so hesitant.

You're not the one being, or going to be, tossed into an unfamiliar world. [A small huff.] I don't see what it was that struck you with this idea of apping me in the first place. It's random, if anything. The back of your headspace was comfortable enough, for all these years. And now? You just wish to torture me.

I don't have time for this 'game' you've been ranting about.

What have I done to deserve this? Really...

secondshift

I don't really know where I'm going with this. I guess I just want to say thanks for giving me a place to talk. Not just about Chris's death, but...you know I've never really been good with talking about myself, ever. So it's been nice to get all my thoughts and feelings out for a little bit. Schmaltzy as that sounds.

I know you're nervous about me, because I'm a cop and you think there are like a billion cops out there already, and I'm out of your own headcanon so nobody knows who I am. But I think it won't be too bad. I've already met some nice people. Like Bobby and don't shoot me if I say Demming's kinda cute. This can't be any worse than taking my kid to Gymboree.

[She smiles wryly.]

Let's see how this goes, huh? I think it might actually be fun.

Current Mood: cheerful

arcanism

Um, as long as you think this is a good idea... Although we do need pointing in the right direction regarding a community which will take us. I believe your comparison to Skyrim protagonists and Mass Effect ones is correct. I'm hardly Sephiroth's great-grandson or something like that. But I just hope others see it that way...

Well... the thing is, if I go somewhere, I won't be able to find her. Or continue down the path I have been set upon, even if it is a precarious one...

...And not hearing it's voice any longer will be disorientating...

beezinthetrap

Ah, how kind of you to pick up this humble demon.

I am most appreciative that I can now escape that Akutabe and Sakuma. Oh, I shall, indeed, miss my other friends. Not as much as they would expect, I'm sure. But destiny and the world that is opening before me calls.

As such it cannot be helped.

I look forward to working with you, but let us make one thing clear... we do not bring up that ever. Not ever. It's just not meant for polite conversation. And it is not as though it is true, right? [ Nervous laughter. ]

Yes, I see bright skies ahead of me now. Indeed, this is freedom.

induality

Noooo nononono!!! Is your thick head filled with cotton, you fat imbecile?!

Y-you can't possibly make it happen.

Who would want to with a disgusting freak like me -- that's what you're thinking and still you're considering this!!

I-It's impossible for both of us. W-What am I supposed to do in such places?!!

[ Though she forgets that just because she lacks the confidence or desire that it doesn't necessarily mean that her mun lacks it. ]

Y-You're too excited...

thedefinitionof_insanity

You think this is bad? Come to my island and then try and fucking complain.

nocake

[ muse is not at all happy with her username. ]

Why is that what people always associate me with?

excelsiors

It's not that this isn't flattering. I just don't trust anyone else to fulfill my duties on the Enterprise while I'm gone to... wherever it is you decide to send me.

You don't even have a clue yet, do you?

kaijunkie

( SPOILERS )

smokescigs

Who ever told ya that picking little ol' me up would be a good idea? Where do you think you're at, a fuckin' whorehouse?

Now you're just adding another one of us to your little collection of little poor tortured souls that you keep stuffed in the shitty, dark corner of your fucked up mind. Good fucking going! We'll all suffer in the shithole together. Horay.

[His face is the definition of misery.]

Do you at least have some smokes...?

quiet_gunslinger

Won't you lose interest in me soon?

....I'm not very talkative to begin with....

littlebigbug

[This isn't her home, she needs to be there to protect it. She's not very happy about being here, in fact she's pretty angry right now.]

tokyosdaughter

You are a coward if you do not at least try to get my voice down. Don't you have anyone you're trying to make proud?

[she pauses for a moment.]

Well, do it for me. We can try together.

I'll give you a chance. I believe in you. Let's do this.

[she smirks, ever so slightly, and she's pumped for action.]

There are still people that need help, and places that need rebuilding.

thirteenth_brat

You know, you could just toss me at your sister's half muse box, half normal game thing. I know you have Sora there too, but he's a little bit AU there anyway and the rules on muncest are pretty clear. You'd probably be pulling me from a canon point where I don't want to talk to him anyway, assuming it's a point where I even know who he is. And it's... better than the other two options you were looking at. ~~You were waffling between mandatory cuddling and horror? Really?~~

Current Mood: a wee bit grumpy

oftheglen

So you've brought me over and throw me into places that've stripped me of my wand and most of my decency? Can't say I'm too amused at what you've done but I'm interested as to how far you think I will let you go with this.

experting

… Ah. [ Cue the fiddling fingers. The glance down. The clearing of a throat. ]

No.

No, I think not. [ A squaring of too small shoulders. ] I am not choosing the destination of another hastily chosen adventure. Leading is better suited for—… for someone who is, well, not me.

[ Even though he has better direction than some leaders, ahem. Though, wait, is choosing the Shire an available option? No? Well then. ]

chemiroptera

Am I to understand you wish to renegotiate the terms of our understanding? That is a surprise. I'm aware of your fondness for me as well as the treatment of the film - no matter how small a majority you find yourself in for it - but I'd had it in my head that you'd a preference for more private venues.

I've heard much said about America though. Can't say the idea isn't... Intriguing. Yes, I'm full aware of the difficulties one such as myself might face in that sort of place but we're both of us aware that I can, at the very least, take care of myself.

solarsystembodysuit

Listen to me, mun. "Honor and Glory" by that Rothrock lady does not "look like the most amazing martial arts movie ever." It doesn't. Stop saying that! Hey! Don't order it! [sputter] Why don't you buy yourself some taste instead!?

keepshispride

Believe it or not, the possibility of being able to return ho- return to Earth for seven years isn't much of a reward. Especially when you would be dragging me back into this disgusting situation regardless. Get a life and leave me to mine, I have no interest on dealing with these fools any longer and having my powers sapped away by a bunch of cowards who refuse to face me properly. If it's a boat or a city makes no difference to me.

[Well... The city shouldn't have as many food shortages as the ship?]

... It should not be necessary to mention that as a selling point. I may not be able to stop you but none of this appeals to me at all, do you understand? Returning to Earth is not nearly enough to compensate for this bullshit!

[Oh, you know you miss Bulma.]

I do not!

kiniasu

Yeah, mundane. Takin' me from one place and shoving me into another is really gonna help ya, isn't it? 'Specially when half of my friends ain't even around here. Now that I've got 'em all back, being alone isn't something I like to dwell in-- just don't tell anyone that. I've got an image to keep.

Anyway.. I'm pretty sure you haven't got a clue what you're doing. Honestly, I wish you all the best with this stupid endeavour of yours, and Seifer would be laughin' his ass off if he knew you were trying to find the worst game for me, but y'know..

Can y' not?

I like having my hat intact and havin' it shot off ain't something I wanna do. Or taken off me, or any other variation. Quite like having my head on my shoulders as well. And Exeter. I wanna keep my gun.

Really, just.. Ultimecia was enough for me.

~~Find Selphie or Squall and I'll be happy though, I guess..~~

overwalls

I'm supposed to be fighting Titans, protecting the people! Not messing around in some stupid 'game'. I can't leave Mikasa and Armin to do all the work, mundane! Don't even think about taking me somewhere else. I'll use the swords on you! I swear.

( slight spoilers for anime and manga )

fitzherpderp

[ HA ]

Never fails. The ladies can never turn their back on me. [ Forever anyway. But moving on. That right there, yes, see that? Some one's smug. And... huh. That face… isn't it uncomfortable to be grinning that wide?

No?

Huh. ] It may have taken… [ Wait. Wait. Five months plus six plus one plus ten—all right. Flynn Rider, the greatest thief to ever thieve is many things – charming, handsome, brave, soon-to-be-rich – but mathematically inclined? If it doesn't involve coin… – ~~ain't nobody got time for that~~ Nah. ]

… awhile for you to remember how to turn back around, but you did and I'm here and well, let's see. Remember last time? Let's… not do that again.

[ A pause. And then! Gesturing. ]

So I'm thinking an island instead. And bags of money. Lots and lots of bags. Dropping me off there and knowing you've made me so… happy sounds like fun, doesn't it? [ Stare. Wait. Stare. Wait. Star-- ]

… What do you mean the sidekick can't go gallivanting off on his own? Lady… Flynn Rider is no one's sidekick. [ Pause. Long pause. No. No Eugene. Curiosity is an evil, evil thing. Especially when— ]

… Who is the leading man in your inaccurate opinion, anyway? [ —the answer is going to be— ] Blondie? [ brb. Busy dealing with a brain explosion. ]

astromancy

If you had asked, I could have told you that finding the right face for me would be difficult.

No, I didn't see it. It's just common sense.

Too young. Too old. The clothes aren't right. Does it really matter in the end? It all blends together at the circus, now doesn't it?

Though, I appreciate you looking for a face with a good smile. That's very important, after all.

I don't know if we'll find Widge or Bailey, or anyone else around here. It's difficult for me to see without the circus.

I'll need to go back eventually, you know.

rat_des_marais

Ya sure 'bout dis, chere?

[Remy's not stupid. Not by a long shot. He knows about Panem and these games. He already knows about the Gamemakers and the audience before he even discovers information on them. He's been through this ringer before. Maybe not a fight to the death sort of thing, but... totalitarian oppression? Oh yeah.]

[He's not adverse to the idea of going to this place. He just wants to make sure this is the right thing. Once he's in it, he's not going to want to leave until the job is done.]

[He chews the inside of his lip for a moment.] All right. If ya sure, but I ain't gonna be leavin' there no time soon, no. Not like in Nautilus. This is either happenin' or it ain't. But if ya sure, den send me on my way. This is one time where ol' Gambit might jus' listen to ya.

[Silence for a moment...]

Wha- Well, what da hell ya draggin' me around fer if dey ain't even lettin' people in yet. I ain't gonna be one o' them stylin' people if that's what ya thinkin'. Ya jus' gonna have ta wait, petite.

didntknowwasthere

No!

[Well that's the first word he's said to his mun.]

I won't let you take me there! I don't wanna be human. What kinda game makes the players toxic anyway? A dumb one! So you should just take me back home now! And... please do it before you turn me human?

misfier

Hey loser,

Stop being such a-

Well. Such a loser already and find me a game or something. Can we go back to the place where Fulcrum was? I barely even got to do anything there! Come on! I don't need some water-balloon meat-puppet telling me what to do!

Find me a nice cozy place. Not one of those horror places you like so much! So help me if you pick a horror game I will sincerely resign from your roster.

ladiesmanirvine

Well, while I'm glad you didn't forget your voice with me, little rusty sure, but hey you haven't had any practice in what? A year? Two years? I'm still confused why you're going to go through with this though. Porting me from one site to another.

We both know that I'm not going to go anywhere. Which sucks enough as it is for me, I mean seeing all of these lovely beauties and all of them out of arms reach so that I can't gently play with their hair, feel their hearts race when we stand close together, and not see their radiant smiles that could lift anyone's moods.

That my friend is torture. So I must ask, why are we here?

animusangelus

Thanks, I guess.

lots

You do realize I can't stay all that long, don't you? And that, as a result, your options become limited. I can't exactly be a traveling salesman if I can't travel. I mean, yes, this is all a form of traveling, but you know what point it is that I'm trying to get at.

tinybookworm

C'mon mun, I wanna go somewhere with Cadence or maybe my big brother, pwetty, pwetty pleeeeeeeeeeease?

[I dunno Twiley, there are so many muses I'm going to keep track of already and-]

I promise I'll be good and I won't get into any, tw-trouble, I can even take Smarty Pants with me to make sure I don't.

ffuckoff

Yeah, yeah, it's not your best idea. I dunno, I still wanna try it. Could be fun. Could be shitty. I mean, it sounds okay.

And nobody'll notice I'm gone, right? That was part of the deal. Because if that's bullshit, I'll make you regret it. But otherwise, y'know. Could be a good time.

wingsit

stehtvorgott

There's no need to rush. Forcing inspiration will only result in you making things more difficult for yourself. Stress doesn't fuel creativity, Mundane, and you wouldn't be reaching your true potential.

Focus on making a decision that you're comfortable with, and I'll cooperate.

rebind

So this is what you're dragging me out for after however long? Some broken down city?

[...]

What? You're expecting me to yell at you? You already know you're being an idiot, why should I have to remind you?! Besides, if what you've been telling me is true I'm better off not wasting my energy on you!

...I don't need that concern, either. I'll be fine.

Tch. If you've already decided to send me to this place don't start feeling bad about it now.

[Ah, Elliot's being gentle again, it seems.]

Shut up!

unyu

Eh--? [ Two large black wings flutter restlessly, excitedly. ] Maybe I'll get to see a friend...?!

Unyu, even if it's only for two months, I wouldn't mind that. I don't want to be without my closest friend. [ Beat. A head tilt this way. Then the other way. She's thinking. Thiiinking.

Ding ding ding. ] Ah! Maybe, do you think I could call her a planet? That'd make sense, right, if she's always close to me.

[ Is she a new god? A hell raven? A star? There seems to be a trace of identity issues are buried underneath here. Or maybe while attempting to actually think in a long while, she's simply messing her thoughts up. The latter is the more likely reason for the last statement. ]

I think we have issues.
