I know there is little guarantee of convincing you, but I ask you to reconsider this.

I've read the description of that place. 'Splicers' and 'plasmids' leave me concerned. You do realize the ramifications of altering DNA in such a way, don't you? We are talking genetic engineering, in case you needed further embellishment.

I'm warning you, now—I will not be a guinea pig for your amusement.

nineheadaches

No. Absolutely not and under no circumstances, young lady. I realize you're a muggle, and the nature of dragons might be a bit out of your schooling, but my Charlie has worked with them for years and I will tell you one thing and one thing only:

Dragons make awful messes in the worst of places, and I will not be the one slaving over a carpet again. Do you understand? It was brand new and in an instant my lovely new rug turned into a- a- [ she heaves a huge sigh ] an unmentionable sort of privy. The neighbors still complain over the smell.

So no. You will stop this nonsense over dragons and you will stop it now.

Do I make myself perfectly and undistinguishably clear?

flowing

...No, really, I'm fine with the way things are right now. Really.

I mean, yes, I miss everyone, of course - but I'd much rather stay where I am right now, rather than end up somewhere in a strange city, or on one of those 'spaceships', or who knows what else you'd send me to.

[ Thinks. ] Although that underwater city sounds intriguing...but really, no - I mean it. No.

[Honestly, he finds it sweet that people care enough to draw them so much. Jack especially seems to be getting a lot of attention, which Sandy thinks is a sign of a growing base of believers. Of course, he communicates this all through swiftly changing pictures, which people may or may not be able to understand.

There is one thing he's curious about, though. With a slightly puzzled look, his dreamsand forms the image of Bunny, which then shrinks to a little cute bunny with a question mark besides it. What's with all the art of Bunny as an actual baby bunny? As far as he knows, there's been no incident of Bunny shrinking and becoming cute.

After a moment, he can't help but have a goofy grin. No matter how confusing, the pictures are adorable.]

psychette

So...that was pretty good. I have to admit.

Brothers Kratt, kudos on yet another hit series.

No, mun, you don't need another muse. You have too many up here as it is. I don't care how much childhood you've been re-living.

Current Location: any wild kratts muses about?

231_7

It's great they gave me a name, even if non-members can't see it. I like having a name instead of a number. Thank you for looking it up, Mun.

But, um, what's an 'ethnicity' and what does 'race' mean, and why does the name Amoxtli Tlaloc mean you have a guess what those are for me? And why does it matter?

collaredyouth

I'm not sure how I feel about your creation of me, or this journal. That said, I have no choice in the matter and of that I am used to. But of course, you are certainly aware.

If I may have one request, please remember I do not belong to you. My services will always be to my Master first and foremost were she here.

[Small bow.] Thank you.

cash_is_freedom

Well, now! It's about time you decide to bring me out! I gotta tell you... it gets kinda cramped up in that there headspace at times. By which I mean all the time. It gets really CRAAAAAAAAAAAAZY up in there! So thanks for this, cousin! Now I can finally get down to business... and get me some rich schmucks.

temerated

Although it would be nice to escape the place I am currently at, and it would be nothing short of miraculous to go somewhere the paranormal isn't scoffed at, you are withholding details about this place that unnerves me. Namely, you have done nothing but tell me it is a city where I wouldn't be deemed crazy. That is extremely vague. Will I get to take any equipment with me? Any materials to keep myself safe? What of the people there? I would hate to go back to conducting my work against the otherworldly forces out there in secret again.

I can do it. I can do anything, because I have to. But it gets tiring, and I am not in my best state of mind right now.

Watch out for werewolves tonight, by the way.

Current Mood: distressed

athousandenemies

Heya mun! I appreciate that you're home, in one connected piece and feeling pretty good. You've been through the ringer and you've got every right to celebrate. You even finished my app, and even I'm excited about that! But could I make one itsy bitsy request?

Please don't post with me while you're on those pain meds, okay? That could get really embarrassing in a hurry. And I've heard stories, my friend. None of them end well.

timidscars

Mun...

You k-keep trying, but no one's going to show up...

Why not focus on your other m-muses?

hydrophile

...you just want to make fun of me, right?

dragonconqueror

You can't just...you can't just make me forget about Astrid! You know how much she...I mean...well, you know what I mean. It'd be like Dad forgetting about...

L-Look, you can't just make someone forget about someone like that! Thank Thor it'll only last as long as the event does.

[a beat]

What do you mean you don't know how long it'll last?

my_fall_for_you

Stop complaining. You sorted out your schedule a week ago, and it's not my fault that you're leaving right after you apply.

If you're so eager to get in before your flight, why don't you apply this week? Right - because you're obsessively writing and rewriting notes about me instead of writing the application properly. And -

[ no we're not going to talk about that other part ]

Fine. At this rate you might actually get to that test drive... thing, before you do anything useful.

mrbackwards

The voice you think you have for me is shit. I don't have a purpose at any of the'games' you've looked into, I have one back home. [ he thinks. ] You ain't seen the show or anythin' in almost a year. And there's no way you'll find Nikki or Kelly or-- I know I've spoken to Alisha. And it's been all right seeing her here it's just not where I'm 'posed to be. Stop arguing, yeah? Ain't you trying to get your life in order, too?

grantingwishes

You don't like coffee, you're a night owl, and you laugh at all the bad puns. You didn't cheat on any of your exams, did you? If I didn't know any better, I might wager that Neil put you up to this, Mundane.

But for that you would have to enjoy coffee.

I'm not sure what you think I can do here, but I guess you've piqued my interest.

not_a_moogle

I dunno if this's a good idea. Won't Fen be mad? I'm s'pposed to be learning how to change my dreams, not talking to strangers. And he's gonna teach me Fire too, and Blizzard! Uh, later. When I'm older and stuff, 'cause he's not old enough...would the teachers at school be mad if he went and showed me anyway? It'd be okay if he just didn't tell 'em, right? 'Cause I could do it! And-

I'm not a cute moogle! Only Fen's 'llowed to call me that anyway, so don't.

fakeemerald

Milady Writer! I absolutely refuse to call you "Mundane" or some derivative of it, as that is both undoubtedly untruthful and not flattering at all. Do not think that you can control me as a marionette on strings! I am no mere puppet or plaything! Let us work through an arrangement; we may be able to brainstorm some sort of proposition that benefits us both.

I will most certainly not object to some sort of grand adventure, should you have one in store for me, and if not, what are you waiting for?! I cannot sit idly! Find somewhere for me to go, something for me to do--hurry and get to it!

consultantsson

You know the likelihood that Ran-neechan will respond to this is incredibly low, right? And anyway I've told you before that I don't want her in such a dangerous place. So you should just give up.

And stop complaining about plurk not working on your phone. You're not supposed to have it at work anyway.

subecho

You praise intrusion, witch woman. I do not.

He has had say, but there are words to go shared, and questions that want answer.

( ...no one expects the Thor line-by-line commentary. Please beware Comic Con panel spoilers! )

igneousdogtag

Quit while you're ahead. I don't wanna go anywhere. Haven't you been agonizing on what to do with other people in this Hyne-damed headspace?

No, I don't need to go to a "game". I'm done playing games, you of all people should know that. And I don't really care if the peanut gallery is going to be there, or even if they're not going to be there.

We've danced this shit before, and I'm not going to dance it again.

greatestheroever

Wow, mun. I can't say I'm the greatest hero just yet, but I'll try to live up to it!

Um. But do we really have to use this icon? It's embarrassing, and I think people might get the wrong idea.

paintedbull

[...and had prior started entertaining the idea of giving him another go someplace.

His opinion, for now, is a growly, judgmental "Hrmmmmm."]

familyissues

Look, I appreciate the chance to get out a bit and see the sun with my own eyes, not just in the Animus...but I think it's safe to say I know you by now. You're not really taking some random, anonymous person's advice, right?

...especially when they promise oh, let me check, "sheer fucking hilarious hideousness". [ flatly, folding his arms. ] Not to sound like a broken record, but you do remember what's at stake, right? Let me get back to Nightmare-Mode 1776 and finish this out for good.

heartofhearts

Where is Alice? I'm sure she must be here. She must, she must! Because if she's not here, then I have no reason to be here. Yes... I do miss my dear, sweet little Alice. I wonder what Card she would be... Perhaps the Queen of Diamonds? Or Clubs? Something, something interesting, I believe. And of course she's have to be a queen! She is my equal, after all! Yes... My... Equal...

ultragorgeous

Ah, mundane. A very fitting title for one such as you. You hardly possess the grace and elegance to earn any other title. Unlike myself. But I suppose we can't all be graceful roses, now can we?

"Earth", is it? I suppose that's preferable to the current situation. I am curious to see what sort of fontech this planet has!

And JADE is there! He'll certainly need someone to aid him in his research. Yes, I suppose that if he begs me I would be willing to lend him my aid! YES! I WILL TAKE PITY ON HIM! Only because we're such good friends, you understand, don't you, mundane?

the_tv_is_a_lie

...You're running out of ideas for how to be covert about these things, aren't you?

purplepants

If it's all the same to you, I think I'll pass.

Again.

There isn't much point to this, with both know that. So you can uh, put me back now.

titantelepath

I'm...not exactly sure you know what you're doing with me. Scratch that - I'm definitely sure you don't know what you're doing.

I doubt anyone else from my time period is here, anyways.

spaztastic

What the heck?!

Y-you want me to do what to who??! The first time with Neku was bad enough and you want me to do it again?? I can't believe his mun said yes to this! To all of this!!!

exploitations

There is absolutely no need to hold discussions about spray bottles. The anger of a dragon is no mere tantrum.

merinesexual

I just told you I don't want to do this, I have paperwork to complete. Don't you have other people to bother instead of me?

[Palm, apply directly to the face.]

May I go home now?

Current Mood: aggravated

trutheating

HEY!

Yeah! Heeeey, you! Lady! I ate that soul, but it's been a while, and I'm hungry, and I can't find Shinjuro. So guess what! You're gonna' have to help me if you don't want me to kill anyone.

Shinjuro would be upset with me if I did, right? And we promised.

.. If you don't want to have to, you can just find him for me. No big deal!

cottontale

If you look at all the things you got to do, this half a decade wasn't so bad for us. I mean, let's be honest; you had no idea how to even begin chronicling my tale. But look at you now, punching your keyboard with white hot passion. This is such a big difference from your lighthearted tik-tik-tiking.

When you're making stories, you really can't hesitate and just lay out some half-baked hoopla. Aim for the epic, squire, always.

Here's to seeing how the next half a decade will turn out, eh? Cheers!

shadowscall

Yeah, okay, so maybe I shouldn't be so used to the Corridors that I just...use them like that. Without a second thought, I mean. I know 'Jem was always there to catch me, but- I don't need anyone here to do that! I can take care of myself.

Quit looking at me that way, I'm not going to turn into my mother.

championish

You want me to say what --? Well, uh, I'll try my best... But I'm not as good at this whole persuading business as some of the other girls... I mean, why don't you just use Blue --

[may no you're gonna do it]

Okay! Let's see...

Ahem! Hi! I'm May, Hoenn's Champion, and I'm here to, uh... invite people from the Pokéworld to join us at how do you that fancy text like at the subject line up there? -- oh! at

poketesting! It's a still pretty new dressing room that opened up in May hey, that's my name! heehee, and it's pretty much player-run!

There isn't a whole lot going on right now, but that really leaves a lot of potential for really cool player plots and stuff to happen! You guys have a community for that kind of planning, right? Wait, should I say that one too? -- No, okay, I'll finish!

...Um! A-anyway, we'd really like it if you could all come by and stay with us a while! The Lab's not a totally bad place, and there's tons of rooms you can visit and lots of Pokémon to catch and battle!

Miss, I sound like I'm selling something... W-Wait, I'd have to do it more if I stay Champion?! Brendan can have it! I'm really not good at advertisement, and he seems cool enough to do it!

sleightofhearts

My, my...

Missed me? I'm actually quite flattered. And here, I thought you were having so much fun with the mouthy brat in the sunglasses.

Do me a favor, will you? Tell him that if I have to suffer through another of his "sick beats" one more time, I'm going to rip out his tongue, put it in one of his jars, and send it to the orange feathery boy.

With a courier pigeon ♥

...

Now, as flattering as it may be, I'm afraid our time is up. I have a very busy schedule ahead of me.

Starting with a nap.

geekmonkey

Okay, dude, seriously? I have two words for you. Ready for this?:

Chill out.

julian_bashir

Ezri gone, Kira gone and now Jadzia.

I am happy Garak came back, though I suppose I shouldn't be since it's a horrible place to be trapped in. I suppose it would be wiser of me to not think too much about it and focus on the task at hand.

But still...

evenrobin

I'm getting really tired of sitting on my cape. Robins are made to fly, right? I want to leap some roofs, kick some asses.

Yeah, yeah, "it's so haaard to get you right". [Yes, he uses finger quotes.] Get the fuck over it.

...Please.

violint

I've had just about enough of amateurs. It takes a patient man to provide private lessons, and I've had enough to last a lifetime, without handling a glorified beginner.

We won't make music together. I make my own sound, richer than you could comprehend. Solo.

splitsapart

Ah, would you look at that. I don't appear to be so very difficult anymore, do I? You had it easy with me, now look at this mess! Are you despairing, dear? Giving up, perhaps? Ooh, let's just think for a moment: that four-in-the-morning frenzy, the sweet three-hour sleep of a job well done, the satisfaction of holding in your hands the final form of the very ink you bled onto the page with excitement and terror. Difficult to duplicate, surely, but then again, dear writer: that's magic for you.

Take heart. The obnoxious ghost from your first foray agrees. Even at the bottom of the well, after all, the only way to look is up.

Leander Morgan

I think we have issues.
