But I'm supposed to be dead, remember? If I show up again, it will ruin everything we've worked for.

And the Nysgods sound just as bad as the Wizard. But instead of abducting animals, they're abducting people.

tom_hanniger

Uh, ok. So here's the deal.

I'll find you a Hannibal cast and you'll let me retire. For good. The last thing I want is to get tangled up with these guys but if it means you leave me alone..

If you fuck me over on this? That's it. I'll pull the plug.

whatchuneed

Do you even know what you're doing anymore?

slammer

I know you've been feeling pretty blue- not blueberry blue, Cole no- but still. Haven't seen you in this much of a state since that Rickety raid you got slammed during.

At least this way, this mug of mine ain't vanishing yet. No. Me and the hotshot and the dork and the chompette and all the others, we still got a way to survive. To live on past the great big blackout.

And one last thing! I've seen you eyeing up some playgrounds. This Wakey-Wakey one... that looks good. Real nice. You think maybe...? Eh. Just a thought, munsy. Take it as you will.

halfofhalf

Mun-san... I don't think I get it.

I mean, yes. Shou-chan and I could pilot one of those Jaegers without difficulty. He's my partner, after all. We are as one. Drifting shouldn't be a problem...

But there's no data on this. I can't perform a lookup on something that isn't in my world.

And what if Shou-chan isn't around? Piloting a Jaeger without him would be like becoming W without him.

Please, mun-san. Think this through. Dopants are bad enough without Kaiju being introduced.

friendstime

I think you worry too much, Mun. Sometimes you just have to charge forward and take hold of your dreams. Even if they are weird dreams. The world is pretty weird sometimes too. So that just makes it easier!

For now I'll just make friends with everyone else you have around. They all look like nice people. I bet they could use someone to talk to anyway.

wickedthiswaycomes

Mou, let's see, let's see... So far, those investigating consist of a some sort of supernaturally inclined human, a half-baked shinigami, and a useless son of Hades.

[ Here she laughs, a light staccato rich with confidence and amusement. ]

And you, my lady mundane, you... wish to see me discovered and [ She stifles a laugh. ] brought down by these children? For the sole reason I am a 'villain' and your wish for those who are 'good' to eventually win. [ Arbitrary terms to her, no doubt. ]

How ludicrous.

t_t_k

Dude, bro...

You're kinda hanging me out to dry here. You miss reserves or whatever, and you just completely forget about me in that other game. Not doing much for my confidence in you, man. I mean, I know what you want to do, but you've been kinda lazy about it. Just saying.

So take a few swings and get back into it, okay? I mean, I've been up here for over a year now. I'm sure you can take care of things.

This is a ...

[ Give him a moment as he searches for the right word. His expression is more exasperation than bewilderment or anger — the same arrangement of features as one who's suffered too many fools, and not at all gladly. Will rubs his temples just briefly before nudging his glasses up; running a hand down his face. ]

... fantastically bad idea.

[ And then the glasses come off so he can polish them on the hem of his sweater. ]

I don't need any more people trying to crawl their way inside my head. It's not — and I mean not — good. In there. In fact, you should probably leave me alone, before something [ Breathe in. ] unpleasant [ Breathe out, slightly shaky. ] happens.

[ His voice turns soft, little more than a murmur, as though he's quite forgotten he's talking to someone else. Look a little closer and you'll see that his eyes have slipped out of focus; glassy, elsewhere. ]

It always does.

thedefinitionof_insanity

So that we're clear, so that we're on the same page..You're telling me I get to be on the big screen - Hollywood, the red carpet, the works.

You know it's sad? Sad that Christopher cannot hear this news...that we won't be able to see this movie...because, if it is true, my little Mun, then that is truly a fucking shame.

((ooc: seriously hoping this is legit; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_Cry_(2013_film)))

sans_evremonde

I can tell at this point that all my best attempts to talk you out of this are going to be for nothing, aren't they? You know my objections well enough, and does the irony of Carton's act in light of me being brought to a new place alone, not strike you somehow?

I do not know why I bother rehashing old points, when I know you will not listen so on to considering the ship in space instead. You have already indicated two potential friendships I might have, a friend to drink with, and a friend to share the past with, provided either of them is able to look beyond the stain of what I come from there to see that...

OH. Then you mean for me to...

[It's dawning on him now, and Charles is actually slowly smiling]

A place to fully begin again, beyond my family, espionage charges, and sentencing to death. I DO see what you're getting at after all. It may not be entirely bad in that case then.

Perhaps I ought to look forward to all of this a little more then.

Mm? You're still up? You should be sleeping since you have work in the morning.

[ . . . ]

Alright, you have a point. I know what it's like to be kept up at night. But...mun. You've had a lot of stuff on your mind lately. Maybe you should try to take things one step at a time. Catch up on things and--eh? Why did you buy me more paid time? It's been a while.

...are you thinking of trying to make a comeback? But where?

You're doing it again. [small sigh but he smiles anyways] Alright. Just try to make it count this time. And don't get ahead of yourself!

Although...it'll be nice to maybe see everyone again. Wherever they are.

didyounotice

Life bullshit, eh? Just do what I do: don't rely on anybody else in the first place. Friends'll turn. Lovers too. [And, bitterly:] Your family won't be any better. Being on your own simplifies a hell of a lot of things, if you ask me.

[real encouraging, kaede.]

Now put me back or take me somewhere. I'm not here to play guidance counselor with you.

bondsofsuffering

Mun...

Y'know, just because I'm difficult to kill doesn't mean you should throw me into a deathmatch like this! It still hurts-- and way more than usual, too!

What's wrong with just spending time relaxing in Hinoto-Ri? If this keeps up, it might even be better just to go back to that man...

magicpanchira

Wow, I can't believe you finally made up your mind! I've got to thank you for not putting me into that Animus place, though, mun. I really thought you'd--

[ You're not getting out of it that easily. I'm waiting for the right moment to put you there. ]

--r-right! Well, in any case, there's no time to waste. You got distracted last night, but tonight when you get home, get started on my application! There's no time like the present, you know!

earlylight

I wonder if I would make a good fairy?

silentdescendant

....?

(What are you thinking? It's not like I'm going to say much anyways. You'll just get bored of me faster.)

(Don't just decide to drag me where you please if the only reason was because it would be, "interesting"!)

(You're right... I'm sorry.)

(Thank you for looking out for me. I really do appreciate it.)

[OOC: Because Matthew is a silent hero, he does not speak (Unless you count near the end of the game where he curses lol!). He does have a way of communicating, although that can be a tricky thing (especially playing the game.... B|). He communicates in the form emoticons.

In order to keep the spirit of his character, I'll be going by this system. How will you know what exactly he's saying? That's a good question considering all during the game I meant something else and they took it as something else.

I will add in parenthesis of what he means to say. It's really up to your muses how they take it, considering it's kind of hard to tell in the first place and if he only communicates with emoticons I don't really blame you for any confusion you or the muse might have at first.

If you need it, I do have a post to refer to right here. GIVE ME ALL OF YO GOLDEN SUN CAST!! /shot.]

ivegotajarofsouls

Quite the little spender, aren't you? A pity you don't show the same interest in dragging yourself into the fray as you do in playing dress-up, summoner. There's a reason they keep asking you why you don't have any favourites. It takes time to build the sort of rapport one needs on the field.

You know I'm more than willing to share with you. I've got plenty of space in here. [After a pause, he indicates the glowing void behind his face. What did you think he meant?] Relax. Let me handle it. You already enjoy seeing me harvest as much as I enjoy the reaping. Maybe more. It's why we'll make such a marvellous team.

We just need to find somewhere we can play.

wearehugh

We are Borg. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. This game will be assimilated.

hforhologram

Aha, so you've come crawling back to me, have you? Pa-thetic. Absolutely pathetic. Don't think I'm going to just fall all over myself to get back to existing again, I can do just fine without you, smeg for brains.

[And if I make it an order?]

....sorry, what?

[As Lister says, YOU actually care about all of that ordering around.]

Just...just shut up. Stop it.

[Ah, there's your voice. I knew you could do it.]

I will get you for this.

krad_hikari

Mundane...

Seriously, why on earth do you even try? I'm still wondering why you're holding on to us. It's a lost cause at this point. Everyone is gone and you have things to do.

You post these things to get sympathy, but it doesn't work; you're not fooling me or anyone else. If you truly want something involving me, just write it yourself...or stick to your 'doujinshi'. Heaven forbid you find one with myself in it...

People have lives as well, just get over it...

kingmakersdaughter

[Have a very scared and concerned looking future Queen of England everyone.]

W-what? I thought you said you were not going to consider bringing me into one of those 'games'? I hardly think that I am suited for any of them especially not the more...dangerous ones. And besides I am needed back home, you know that.

And what about Father, Lady Mother, Izzy?...Richard?...I know none of them have appeared here as of yet but I still have hope that they will eventually.

[Sigh] You are as stubborn as Father, you know that?

jazztunes

Don't look at me now, this wasn't my idea.

And if I were you I wouldn't be so sure about me being the 'safe choice' either.

Ever played some good old poker?

her_gift

So you know that part where you have no idea what to do with me? Yeah, that hasn't changed. Yet here we are again!

I can't say this is a good routine, Mun.

iwannabethegirl

First Ib and now Mad Father... I think you're getting hooked on this "puzzle/horror with little girls" genre. And it could've happened a year earlier, but then again... my own game's... not really good at all.

But that's in the past, for both you and me. So let's keep it that way. And stop telling Markiplier to give it a shot either just to see how long he lasts and what makes him quit, you know neither of us will like watching me die.

valleyandsea

Uh, mun? Like, idk why you had to go and put gag in the title! Nu is so super totally serious that it's not even funny! Nu can totally take on even the fiercest of pirates, arrr!

Well...except for, like, Captain Ragna, but that's because he's Nu's captain! And a total dreeeaaaaammmboat. Oh! Speaking of Captain Ragna, could you find one for Nu? It would be like, totally rad and some junk! I'll bet it'd shiver both our timbers!

...though, I wonder if he's still afraid of ghosts? Because if so that would kinda be a total bummer.

flowertoss

My, has it really been four years now? Yes...It's certainly been quite some time then, hasn't it? Though, it's been just one shyer since you've played any of us at all, so that's a feat in and of itself, I suppose.

If you're truly certain that finding a home for me is in both of our best interests, I'm afraid that I cannot stop you, but need I remind you that you're already getting cold feet over the game you've just joined?

Perhaps you should simply take more time to think it over. In any case, I've really no means of stopping you either way. You do, after all, have the final say in it.

hookedonphoeniks

Look, Mun... it's great that you're getting interested in the games again an all, but...

Well, real talk here. You've got crap for memory, and you don't speak that language. All you've got is a few threads on a website somewhere. In a few years you'll forget a lot of it. Besides, nobody's translated the one for my game, just the earlier one.

More importantly, what's with all this annoyance of being "overpowered"? I'm the direct servant of a god, if you remember. We can't all be rusty due to being imprisoned in stone for centuries like a certain elf I remember.

Look. All of the fan-annoyance? Completely forgiven. Just try to start playing me more, yeah? You didn't create this journal to let me rot, you know.

No, I don't care that you don't have any icons. No, it doesn't matter that you can't find any art of me that isn't horrible, weird, or of me during my... less-pleasant younger days. You can get other people to draw me, can't you? That's your job, after all, as a mun. Getting other people to do things for you.

hardhousehitter

I am glad you have given me a voice, mun, but do not think for one moment that you control me. I am just as stubborn as you. Perhaps that is why we will make a good team, yes?

I hope you are thinking of sending me somewhere. It will get very dull in here if you do not.

At least you have the good sense to give me Cherno Alpha back. I would not be pleased to be away from my Jaeger.

furryfarkinfiend

Alright, alright. You were flarkin' right.

It all looks pretty amazing.

[Smug raccoon is smug.]

little_scorpion

Miss Mun,

You said Father would be here. Please help me find him. I know that he might be mad when he finds out I didn't make it into Slytherin, but I want to show him the other stuff I've been doing. I've gotten much better at magic and even though I'm not as great as he was at my age, I'm sure he'll be pleased. I made perfect marks in History of Magic when we had our big test and even got bonus points for my House! I really want to talk to him and tell him everything. I miss him and Mother a lot at Hogwarts. So please find them so I can tell them how everything's going.

Oh, and that it turns out my cat's a girl. I thought she was a boy, but Hagrid said otherwise. He won't tell me how to tell girl cats from boys, though. I wonder why? He's usually great about answering questions... Um, anyway, this got rambly. Sorry! I'll wrap it up now. I got a new book on wand making to read, anyway.

Regards,
Scorpius Malfoy

Your obsession with my teenage years and who I might have been seeing back then is bordering on disturbing. I have more important things to focus on than the past and your glee over adding more trouble to my life.

this_isnt_mexico

...Oh please. It wasn't that bad. So you spent a little more than you expected to. It's not like you're out of money. Besides, your vacation's almost over and soon you'll be back at work, earning money and making up for what you spent.

And stop fretting about what you bought. Those little friends of yours you bought gifts for won't care how much you spent on them...they should be grateful you thought to get them something at all. You're too nice about it...

(How did I get stuck with you again?)

Just relax. It's only once a year, right? You have enough to indulge yourself once in a while. The point is to enjoy it.

Late? What do you mean late? They're right there!

Hey, are you even listening?!

ruby_roses

So, your patience has paid off, huh? You kept with it while waiting ever since my trailer, even when you had doubts about my voice actress, and put all your worries to rest now that the first episode has been aired, huh?

Well, that's good to know. It's sure been good talking to Yang, but I gotta say, I kinda miss Weiss. She was so much fun to pester. Heh... I kinda hope she's at Beacon. I can just imagine the kind of pranks Yang and I could pull on her there.

white_pork_bun

Hey! Hey!

Not fair! Not fair at all! Mokona wants to come out and play! Mokona does not want to be stuck up here all alone! What about all of Mokona's friends! There's Sakura and Syaoran, and Fai, and who's going to keep Kuro-puu in line and crawl in his clothes and steal his food?

ex_leveling652

I liked you better when you were playing Skyrim.

[Slight, slight pause, then—]

I never got why people liked to RP in MMOs anyway. Isn't this basically the same thing? Except it's not immersive at all.

You should renew your WoW subscription and get back to that legendary questline. Call it research.

reunionist

You humans just never learn. Everything you do is futile. Why even bother?

[Kadaj lets out a laugh; lilting, soft, and deceptively gentle.]

Maybe I'm being too harsh. It's because of you, Mundane, that I'll have this chance at revenge. Hmm...

[His head tilts slightly, causing a curtain of silver to obscure his eyes momentarily.]

Yes, I suppose some humans have their usefulness. This place is just a small stop on the road to my plan coming to fruition. Mother will do as she sees fit, you know. There will be no stopping it.

mathisradical

Keepin' me in Mayfield for a year and a half wasn't enough to get your rocks off? Now you gotta drag me to another freak show? This isn't what I had in mind when I complained that you never take me anywhere. I was thinkin' an expensive dinner for two, your treat. Not an abandoned fuckstick of a town with no electricity or running water.

Guess I'm gonna have to come up with brand new ways to wreck shit.

kaibutsukun

Oy, Mun! Stop being such a pain. You know what's going to happen, so you shouldn't have to get so angry over all that stuff that some people are only just getting to read.

Shizuku and I love each other and that's what you should think the most about! I know it always makes me smile when I'm feeling sad...

[ He laughs a little, and gives a thumbs up. ] Chin up~ Let's go find a place with some monja.

skybluejeep

Okay, mun.

Tomorrow is Monday.

You know what that means.

Stay off Tumblr, stay off DW, and don't spoil yourself for tomorrow's episode.

Just our luck, we have to live on the coast that gets the broadcast last. So suck it up and just live for one night without your constant stream of gifs and cat pictures. I suppose it could be worse, we could live in Hawaii. ...Did I just say living in Hawaii would be a bad thing? Crap.

summerlord

Is not this something of a 'first person sample'? [A pause while the mun acknowledges that as a point and possibly a good one.] Perhaps then, writing one acceptable for an application will not be quite as difficult as you seem to believe.

I mean, I know this is a tight spot. The worst person I've ever met has just destroyed my home and source of income. And the kids are probably gonna have to go home to their parents.. Leaving me alone...

But we're gonna.. It's..

Quit crowding me! We're gonna figure something out, alright?!

...Unrelated, but you really should've gone with "hunkle_stan". Total wasted opportunity there.

firstaid

Miss mundane?

Well, I hate to be in the way, and I suppose you could simply ask me to leave, but even I know it's not as simple as that. I wish for you to enjoy those who you can in games, but even I understand that sometimes we don't awaken by our own wills.

Perhaps it's selfish to ask to get more attention here, but I know you have other obligations. Would it be fine to ask to stay in the time being? I promise to entertain myself with the library here, even if you don't read so often.

I'm also not so sure those 'manga' you read count.

ladycuckoo

Oh, come now. This is silly. You know you have my voice, you have for ages. This is all a pretense to write me before the application process begins. I bet if I didn't have breasts you wouldn't feel this was necessary. I know it's been awhile since you played a female, but if that wasn't an issue you would have picked me up the first go around.

Honestly, my gender is the least interesting thing about me.

mybadside

Oh yes, I see what you did there... very funny.     You're lucky I need you to type things out for me.

[[Oh come on, everyone likes the over the top evil schtick.]]

Mercifully, I'm not in that idiot anymore and he's not around in this pathetic waiting room for muses you call a mind. Now, find me a proper host, one who won't turn me into a cartoon version of myself or crack like an eggshell under my thumb.

But you know who I really want don't you... where is she anyway?   You said she'd be here.

[[For the record, I did not say that. You assumed that because you're a freakishly obsessed psycho. If were her I wouldn't come anywhere near this thread.]]

If she doesn't come here, then I'll just have to look for her out there... and I'll make sure to make thing interesting.

[[why do I get stuck with all the terrible characters? Seriously, is one nice normal character too much to ask?]]

You're an idiot, shut up.

magma_survivor

This is a really ill-advised attempt at character creation. I'm not going to lecture you on just how wrong it is, but I'd like to know what good I can possibly do here. I should be with my Team, taking down the dictatorship, planning raids - you know, working. Not sitting here and twiddling my thumbs while Hoenn is crushed by that monster of a man who dares to call himself Hoenn's Champion. People are dying. Remember that.

Memories can wait, mun. Right now, there's a horde of pretty little bats just begging me get them out of their shiny, shiny belts. They all sparkle so nicely... Hopefully they'll leave the handcuffs out of the fun, this time.

Ooh, I wonder if Mr. Bat likes playing with his shiny, shiny handcuffs... That would explain a lot, actually.

fuckinstoplights

You say you want me to change. You want me to "grow up". To "be healthy".

I don't see how I'm to do any of this if you continue doing... things to me. Subjecting me to the storms, giving me what I want, and taking it from me.

...

This only causes the opposite of what you want.

So why do you continue? I don't understand.

onegenerationfromgood

Hey, mundane. You got a minute?

Yeah. I just have a couple of questions for you.

Number one being; WHY AM I DIGGING AROUND IN THE TRASH FOR SCRAP METAL?!

An evil boy genius, such as myself, shouldn't be reduced to digging in trash for robot parts! I mean, sure, I don't have much of a job yet but hey! I'm getting there. I just need to...you know...get off my feet. Hopefully this security bot idea will get me there. But I shouldn't be rummaging through old potato chip bags and rusty metal! People throw Eve hypos into those things! What if I get a bobo? Who'll kiss it better?

And second, please be more active. I have things to do! A city to conquer! I can't be sitting on the sidelines. I don't care if you have school. I didn't go to school and I turned out fine! Now, get to work on things and let's end this dumpster diving thing quickly, okay?

Signed unhappily,

Evil Boy Genius Jack Spicer.

I think we have issues.
