Jul. 28th, 2013

Dearest mun - I've given some thought to this so-called plan of yours, and I'm afraid you'll have to reconsider. I've quite enough to be dealing with as it is, thank you, without being dragged around your absurd little sandboxes.

[well, look, you don't really have a choice--]

I shan't co-operate, you know. I've no intention of being a puppet for anyone, let alone someone like you -- oh yes, I'm well aware of what you've had done to some of the others you 'play'. It's not exactly appealing, you're aware.

[you're not supposed to need to be won over! the whole point of this is that i'm in charge!]

Perhaps those others don't. As for myself, though, I'm the ward of the King - and when I say I'm unwilling to put up with it, it carries a little more weight, wouldn't you agree?

[She sets her jaw and crosses her arms, obstinate as ever. There's no arguing with her, even for someone who ought to be able to write her however they please.]

I'm not going.

shrinksense

Was this necessary, mundane? Consider it for a moment; why would I need a modern "version"? It's not an "interesting" concept - it's still as cruel. His presence makes things worse than they should have ever been! Why not a version where I grow up to see Lizzie get married to someone nice? Why not one where Wonderland has not been torn apart?

I understand you don't plan to take me anywhere - you already gave the canonical me a home and it is much better than anything we could hope for back in London, that much I've told you before, but it doesn't make this any better.

[ Sigh. ]

What a few words in a conversation can do...

notdelinquent

So we've had no luck with finding people from home, huh? I have to wonder if you were ever really trying to begin with.

[ A sigh. ]

I guess I'll just continue cleaning up around here, then.

generallydemonic

Really? Already, girl? Your willpower is lacking. I realize my brother's equally ridiculous landlord was only encouraging it, but the speed of your fall is still...disappointing.

You realize you can never play me anywhere of substance. I hope your intent with this is not to spend your time throwing me at 'memes' and other such foolishness. We both have better things to do.

No, I do not want to 'musebox' with my brother. [That suggestion gets a distinct and disapproving frown.] He is a moron and any version other than my own will have no idea what is going on or why my appearance has changed so drastically.

Just leave it alone. My business is just that; mine.

....No. I have no intention of abandoning the name Sephiroth. Leaving it behind will not erase the stigma of the mistakes attached to this life, and I have spent longer living with this name than I did as Vergil.

Current Mood: disappointed

"Burnout", that's what you mundanes call being worn down. I see its roots, a dying flame.

*Enoch closes his eyes for a moment and takes a few deep breaths. Eventually, he nods.*

I suppose...with the information needed to continue in the hands of the tower at large, I...there's no need for me to act alone or with a small group anymore, my current plans even use as much.

But it also means there's no need for me to act at all anymore. And saying as much, acknowledging that...I suppose it came with acknowledging my fatigue too.

*He opens his eyes and looks down at his chest, raising a hand to rest over his heart. (Was his "heart" his soul, or part of the construct?)*

But...I am as old as I am because of the need to act. What good is this old soul if I do not?

So...so then...I refuse to rest, until I am not needed.

morethanadream

[You see, mun? That wasn't so hard.

Sandy is cheerfully perched in a cloud of dreamsand, looking incredibly smug. He ought to look that way, since he managed to manipulate his mun into not only putting down a reserve, but to complete the whole application. Now, there's just to wait for applications to be opened.

Oh yeah, he knows he's good at getting people to do things.

Now, to figure out how he'll actually communicate with people when he doesn't have his dreamsand. (For the last time, mun, no, he can't just 'talk like everyone else'.)

He frowns thoughtfully, summoning the image of a pencil and paper. Can't he just draw?

...Hopefully, his skills with dreamsand art transfer to skills with pencil art.]

winked

Oh, for the love of—

If you're going to do this, do it right. You're worse than Gob, and as the person up top I know you know how little I care for him.

basements

I'm pretty sure you didn't think this through. I mean, you're pretty much condemning the entire tattooing industry in this version of the universe, you know?

—And yeah, that's the least of my problems with this. I thought that much was obvious.

wanders

While the new icons are appreciated, I don't appreciate you making me look like a fool in front of Akane-san! Is that why you made these? Feh, then you can take them back. Ryoga Hibiki is not the type of person to take from someone trying to make me look stupid!

Now leave me be so I can return home.

...No, I'm not asking for a headstart! I'll get there on my own!

sixfoottalldog

Uh. Sorry to hear that you had such a bad day, miss, but I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do about it. I'm a Freelance Police officer, not a doctor.

[you're also a cute cartoon dog. do something cute and distract me.

That certainly gets a reaction out of the big fella; his ears stick up a bit in surprise and irritation, and then he adjusts his tie.]

I'm gonna let you calling me a cartoon slide on account of you being in pain right now anyway-- [and because she also called him cute in the same sentence] -- but don't do it again.

jailbirds

Yeah, yeah.

I'm happy too, I guess. Just quit it with the squealing before you break something. Like my fuckin' ear drums.

stonethread

I can't believe you're actually throwing me at a game. Too bad you can't seem to make up your mind about it, huh?

[Jolyne doesn't actually seem to be too pleased about this fact, as she's crossing her arms and letting out a deep sigh.]

...how long are you going to keep me locked up for, anyways? I've already had enough of being in shackles, and I'd rather not be stuck inside whatever prison you have in mind for me. I've got more important things to do, anyways.

[However, the more she seems to be rambling on, the more her facial expression is twisting into something like a melancholy look.]

...after all, I can't exactly keep him waiting, and...ah, whatever. You know what? Go ahead and stick me in whatever game you want, not like it'd really matter to me. I'll just find some way to deal with it. So, how about it? You want to let me free? Just know I probably won't be so compliant about it. And I swear, I'm gonna come after you if you stick me in some weird ass game- and we're going to have a nice game of catch.

theoriginalstarscream

There's no reason for you to be worried, mun, I really prefer keeping out of trouble -- I could never do anything to make you regret this! No, you don't already do, that's ridiculous. It's an honor having you for a mun!

...Why are you looking at me like that? I'm telling the truth! Honest!

nophasetwo

Should you feel the need to play games, mundane, then be my guest. However should that need involve dragging myself into it then you can think again. There are more important things going on in the universe, and they do not involve the whims of a distracted mundane.

No. And yes I'll be drinking this coffee.

namelessnamek

I don't understand how you allowed yourself to be so easily enabled. One minute, you were idly toying with a journal, and then the next, you've marathoned the entire series and making plans to ship me off to some stupid planet in the middle of nowhere.

How you think anybody with such poor discipline is qualified to portray me is a complete mystery-

... ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?

[Not when I can help it, no.]

Great. Just my luck. A mundane with the attention span of Gotenks.

[Love you too, big guy.]

Oh, ha, ha. Don't think I didn't hear all those jokes about me and Gohan, either.

[Aw, somebody's just jealous that sempai is in love with somebody else.]

I am not! My species doesn't even... WHAT THE HELL IS A SEMPAI?

moonspeech

Hold it right there!

[First, there's silence... then a silhouette... then some background music.]

A girl's strength lies in the power of love, within her own heart and through the support of the friends that love her in return! They're not just her social circle and shopping buddies, but a part of who she is at her very core!

Picking up a character with the intent of separating a girl from those she holds most dear is the worst! And taking her from before she even meets those friends so you can write less on the history section is the laziest!

I won't forgive you!

I am the beautiful, sailor-suited soldier of Love and Justice, SAILOR MOON!

In the name of the moon, I will punish you!

huntressing

I thought you would know better than to send me to one of such places, mun. I have many more important matters to attend to that simply can't be put off-- but then again, you are aware of that to begin with as well, aren't you? Even so, you seem to refuse to change your mind about any of this..

[ .. a sigh. ]

If there is truly no way to avoid it, then I suppose I'll just have to crush them as soon as possible to be able to move on once more. It can't be that difficult. The people currently in that place must just be types who haven't even fully put their mind to their goal if they haven't accomplished anything yet. [ Only Masako can insult a whole grou of people carelessly in one breath.. ]

roseonthegrey

[Alistair's smile is wide and joyous ]

Wait, you mean to tell me that you're taking me from Ferelden- in the middle of a Blight- and giving me over to unknown danger and possible death? Well, hurray! Yippee! Let me go ahead and cancel nearly all of my plans, aside from the premature death, because it simply can't get better than this!

Oh wait, yes it can.

It can get entirely better than this.

karako

( Cut for Chapter 57 spoilers. )

majestic_leader

No, see, there are games you want to join and there are games you need join, and this one should be both. I know you've got a lot going on, but ... come on, Mun! It's a sex game!

I mean look at all the crap I had to deal with on Requiem! Don't you think I deserve a little R&R?

Maybe, later? Like keep it in mind? [Not like muse is going to let mun forget!]

lightarrow

You know as well as I that time is fickle, unyielding. It has been a very long time since our journey together, perhaps, but the peace stretches forward. If you find it appropriate to send me out to travel in this foreign land yet again, I will do so.

( last chapter spoilers )

reunionist

I don't want that traitor's hands on me! How dare you even-- I'm not talking to you anymore.

eggplantsurprise

Oh, Mundane! If you're gonna get scared, stay here with me and be scared! Boo!

Hey, are you leaving already? Wait, please...

[She sniffles. Not again...]

You brought me here for a reason, didn't you? Let me play with someone!

detriments

How generous of you to bring me back to the world of the living.

[Don't worry about it, she's already got a cigarette between her fingers. All she needs is a lighter. Which one of you is going to make her day?]

I know what you're thinking.

I can do a lot worse.

ex_apostasy775

Of course I sympathize with laziness, but you can't really expect me to go around looking like this. People will confuse me for my future—for my alleged future self. You know, that possessed fellow who somehow misplaced my cat, my earring, and my sense of self-preservation in the span of a single year.

I don't care if you like him. I don't like him at all. Hardly anyone else seems to, either, and now they'll all blame me for what he did. I seem to recall someone else judging me for doing horrible things without ever allowing me the pleasure of actually doing them… Oh, yes. Templars. Also: everyone else. Pretty much the entirety of Thedas.

And we've seen how that ends. Allegedly. So let's avoid adding unnecessarily to my burdens, yes?

stolenparts

Didn't anyone ever teach you that it's dangerous to disturb the spirits of the dead? For your sake, I hope you know what you're doing.

[He pauses, his tone dropping to something more melancholy.]

Okay, just hear me out: I've already done my job and the curse has been broken. Now? The truth is...all I want to do is rest. Haven't I at least earned that much?

((Guess who's been watching too much Markiplier lately.))

humanshield

Look man, you know me - I'd do anything for the princess. Like, anything.

...Even that, yeah.

Also I'll admit that Merrie Melodies-lookin' chick was pretty awesome, but that doesn't mean I like getting all personable with some of those crazies. The nun had an armpit for a face. For faces. Now you're telling me there's gonna be even more? Well. At least I'll be serving the Kingdom, and I guess the zombie looks nice enough.

Ah, poo. I just jinxed myself, didn't I?

dreamsonwings

Will you stop giggling at seeing the scientist who looks like Harper-san?! Doesn't that happen a lot in movies and everything?

[Sora, he looked like a complete dork. I was waiting for snark but sad that I didn't see it.]

They're two different people!

[Let me have my thoughts ok?]

(OOC: Possible spoilers in comments.)

humingyay

How dare you even think to keep the great, almighty me in a box! You can't even do that to someone like me! And don't even think of sending me anywhere, I will decide where I go. I won't have some poor, common moron dictatoring my steps!

[It's "dictating", not "dictatoring".....]

What are you stupid?!

Whatever!

gryffinlily

Why in Merlin's name did you have to choose this canon point? Do you not have enough drama in your life?

I don't want to hear about the future or the past for that matter. I just want to concentrate on my studies and hopefully ace my N.E.W.T.s next year. Then I can apply for any job I want.

shadowscall

Of course I'd ask for my friends to be released, why're you so surprised by that?

Quit thinking it's sweet, it's not! It's just- they're my friends, and they're not fighters- not in the weapons sense, and like I told her, a lot of the people running around in that place are nuts, so.

Shouldn't you be stalking someone else's tags right about now?

changbaby

Shhhh- shhhhhhhh--

[Do you like your personal space, friend? Well, so does Chang. He likes is so much he's in it, pressing one gentle, sensitive finger to your lips.]

You hear that?

That's the sound of [imminent restraining orders] a new jefe in town. Ya estoy de vuelta, perras!

[note: all spanish courtesy of google translate. I apologise in advance for all Chang related incidents ~~its a lie I'm not sorry~~]

fearofpiggies

You just love my innocent, precious face and my Disney hero hair, admit it.

And hey, thanks for keeping away from those horror memes with me. I mean, I saw you eying a couple, but it's nice that you've refrained from doing that to me just after getting back into giving me the keyboard worky.

Oh no. Nonono. No. You're not going to get me all buttered up and easy to deal with just to throw me into one of those things, are you?

See, you're the reason I have trust issues.

thereddragon

You may have revived me, but I will not be subjected to the whims of another human. This is not a pact; I will make my own decisions and you will not interfere.

...You put too much faith in this small "fandom".

Fools, one and all, you humans.

outofthefreezer

Mun,

So you're done with this testing stage, right? You should stop feeling so intimidated by it, I mean, it can only get better from here..

At least you picked the game, and I know you'll be crapping yourself right up until you're accepted, and then you'll start all over again the moment we have to interact with other people but seriously, we should be used to each other by now.

Just, stop thinking too hard I'm pretty easy going with any situation except for you know ...bad ones.

Try starting to enjoy it again, its all meant to be fun.

godelsolution

'You can do that to her again, I don't care'.

'You can do that to her again, I don't care'.

Bite me.

solittlefaith

Wouldn't you call this 'jumping the gun'? There is so little known about what you refer to as my 'past self'. How could you possibly have picked up enough to play me? I'm not objecting, merely being the voice of reason.

Well, if you're dead-set on this, then I wish you the best of luck. I will do what I can to guide you. Maybe you'll surprise.

Current Mood: nervous

takeoutthetrash

No offence, Mun, but.. wait, it's Mun, right?

Yeah, yeah, okay. Gonna keep that in mind. Anyway, no offence, Mun, but aren't you forgettin' to look before you leap? I mean, you just made the journal, got the icons, now you're puttin' out there for all th'world to see? I know I'm not the boss'a you or anything, but I think you might wanna ease up on the throttle there. Take some time to really think this through, y'know?

I-in fact, why even go through with this to begin with. I can see you got plenty of company up here already, and a big guy like me's probably just gonna take up more space. Plus, I still have, y'know, duties to attend to back home. Work to do, quotas to fill, you know how it is. In fact, you seem like a pretty busy guy yourself, so why bother having me around if I'm just gonna take up time in your schedule like that. If I were you, I'd just delete the journal, let me out, and call it a day.

I mean, if that's alright with you.

[...]

Oh. Okay, then.

[Le sigh]

Well, it was worth a shot, right?

mendacium

( spoilers. )

quixotically

Waiting... Not really something I'm good at, I'll admit. Buuuut... It's kinda looking like you're worse at it than I am.

Just relax, okay? Even if it doesn't work out here, you've got some more places we could go. Try not to worry about it too much.

Speaking of waiting, though... There are some people in your mailbox who've been doing some of their own. Remember? Never know, getting back to them might keep your mind off it.

vikingness

Right. Yeah. This'll go... smoothly, I'm sure.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong? Like you said, there pretty much seems to be a million of me floating around out there. [ and his tone suggests he honestly doesn't know how to feel about that. ]

monkeyfeathers

A place full of all kinds of people and things to do? That DOES sound pretty exciting.

[ it's clearly tempting him, along with a little something else. ]

Aaaand it might be fun to see what not being the Avatar, at least for a little bit, would be like. Like before I found out- [ then comes the more serious look. ] -but I can't. I'm not running anymore. There are things I have to do, and people who need me. And plenty of fun things right here.

...Why do I get the feeling it's gonna happen anyway?

redripoff

Yeah, see: comparing the family to a pack of gladiators doesn't make you look less sadistic.

hyperresonating

Okay this is really dumb. Finish the game, otherwise it's pointless anyway. Jeeze.

[A sigh.]

Dunno why you wanna hang out around me. Not like anybody else does right now...

broomswept

Oi, this is all well and good and everything, but I'm missing a few things. I gotta say, I'm almost nothing without my mates.

Almost. I'm pretty good on my own, too-- you've seen me on the pitch.

'Course that doesn't woo Evans, but he doesn't even know what he's missing. He'll come around, eventually. I'm sure of it, and I've got 10 galleons on it from a stupid bet I made with Padfoot in our First Year.

Those galleons are as good as mine. By the end of this school year. Mark my words.

Now I've got to see dear McGonagall about getting out of a detention this afternoon. Even he can't resist my charms.

silentstar

[Someone is very upset with her mun right now, enough so that she's actually taking the time to write a note, tidy block print on a well-worn notepad]

Are you [here there is at least one curse word thoroughly scratched out] serious right now? How in the HELL is giant aliens from the depths any better than Terminators?

And making me older, so that I actually REMEMBER them dying, that's just great. Not like that wasn't a horrific enough experience in the first place, no, you had to go and make it worse.

[also crossed out, but not as effectively:] repairing machines like those isn't even close to balanced compensation.

bootycalling

You know, I wasn't remotely interested in your ideas involving myself and Captain Barbossa, but you ignored me and put me on those memes with him, even if nothing has actually come of it . But those were tolerable in their way because they held no actual intent of long term interaction.

But now, now, you're planning on sending me to that place your friend has him residing? Not that it's the worst option by far, he's hardly someone I fear, more that if you have to send me somewhere, it could at least have Will.

And now there's apparently a Jack looking too?

And you're taking me from that moment because you think it's going to be hilarious.

Are all mundanesl quite insane or is this just a personal issue?

tutorem

I'm afraid, Mx. Mundane, that we're at an impasse.

You see, I've absolutely no intention of leaving my responsibilities. It's imperative that I change the world. Arrogant, perhaps, but I suppose it's always been a flaw of mine.

Even if, ultimately, I fail to alter the past, I refuse to let Bishop and his team fight this war alone. I refuse to leave Julian and Sarah. [A wry, rueful little smile.] Even if she may prefer it.

[His expression turns solemn.] My home has been destroyed. Most of my X-Men - my family - are dead. It is tempting, yes, to escape it all; to, perhaps, regain those who I've lost.

But I will not abandon those who remain. Always, I have fought for all mutants, and I will do so with my last breath.

I think we have issues.
