Look.
You've already got the application open, and my name is written at the top of it.
It's been a week and you can't get me out of your head. I think we both know where this is going.

And, if you're looking for a canon point? Start with earlier, you can always open a new tear and come back later.

Besides! Think how much FUN it will be! More cross-canon CR for you and everyone? And I'd really like to get out. Meet people. And everyone was just at the beach!

I've pretty much convinced you, haven't I?

hisway

Spontaneity is not a good excuse for taking me from my post. I need to get back to Deep Space 9. Quark is probably having a field day.

dragongirl

Oh, are we going to play another game? The last game was a lot of fun, and I know that you'll treat me nicely, Mundane. But maybe...could I make a request? I would like to go somewhere with Seto and Mokuba. I am their Blue Eyes, aren't I?

Thank you!
-Kisara

Well, ain't this good news. I guess. We got inta' the weird sex game ya seem so interested in.

Still, a deal's a deal, an' I'll keep it. I'll wear that weird-ass collar as long as I'm gettin' laid. Better alternative t' the usual torture ya put me through.

Hopin' someone else I know is around, though. Y'know how I feel about Tifa. Gonna be hella awkward.

Current Mood: pleased

callmewhateveryuwant

It would be nice to see them. And the city isn't bad compared to other places I've heard about. It's...pretty quiet.

[But the whole touching thing though. Some might be ok with it and others...well...he just doesn't want to see them get hurt or sick from withdrawals.

Seriously though, it's too quiet over there.]

Ms. Mun,

It has been a while, hasn't it? Yes, my memory is better than yours--I find you're a difficult person to forget. Let us not get distracted; it's time to talk business.

You've taken, yet again, a renewed interest in me. I can honestly say that I am both mildly pleased and slightly apprehensive, and you well know why. You really do wish for me to be at his side, is that it? You know that I will do what I can--but at a distance, mind. Again, you know well the reason. I will also not tolerate being shoved forth towards that madman without provocation. There is no need in reckless belligerence. We must not take away from Tsuzuki's job, you see.

But if you are serious and you mean to take on the responsibility, then I will go along. You're going back to college now, and I expect maturity and perseverance of you. If you cannot keep up your end of the bargain, then there will be consequences.

I will also add that, if you are willing to spend good money on a day planner, you must put it to better use. Waste will also not be tolerated. If you would like, I may lend my assistance in keeping your budget.

kittycatbug

But mun, I loooooooooooooove games. Can I please go to one them? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease, If you let me, I...uh...will do your chores!

[CatBug, you know you can't do any of my-] Well how about I give you ideas instead? How about...those mean guys in your head, like that metal man and shadow pony, decide to stop being so mean and want to give everyone ice cream?

[...]

...Do you like it?

[...I...love it?]

Yay! I am helping! I am CatBug!

needmorecoffee

Admit it. You love me.

greenwreckingball

You sure about this mun? Considering who else you've got in here, I'd think you'd go for someone else. Someone of the Decepticon variety. But hey, if I'm here then I'm here, might as well make something of it.

So, what's the plan? Better involve kicking 'con tailpipe because I'm itchin' for some action!

[And Miko. It should definitely involve Miko. Unless it's dangerous, then Miko shouldn't be anywhere in sight ~~not that that's ever stopped her before.~~]

Ready when you are mun.

couldnt_kahless

Look, I don't care where you're thinking of sending me, it all seems equally bad from here. Wars, wastelands, time travel, I don't want any part in it.

And if I said I'd prefer spending time with the Doctor over being thrown into the same world as that snake of a Cardassian your friend is considering, you'd probably just take that as incentive to go with Dukat.

So instead why don't you just drop the whole, stupid idea and we can all go on with our lives, how does that sound?

[No deal, BLT.]

cullsthelies

You do realize that by putting me in an area with so many vampires, Gaia requires me to kill them. And what is this about making me stay in homid form? *Sigh* So now I must learn to conduct myself as my two legged packmates do? This is not right. Surely Gaia's justice will see to it that I do not have to end up without my pack, my purpose, and my form. Sometimes, you really are just a little too cruel mun.

materialgirl

Oh, hon. Of course I'm not mad at you for putting me in a box for a few months! I think we both needed a little me time. Now! Just throw me back in a game and get back together with my buddies and all is forgiven.

I'm also a little flattered you're considering throwing me into that fairy tale game instead of Sailor Moon. That's like, the highest honor right there!

dancewaterdance

Just between you and me, even knowing some of what he was actually part of... I still miss Xigbar. Especially right now. Guess I really am a sucker.

iamnotkhan

While I'm certain you mean to be flattering with your attentions, I'm not sure shoving me off into captivity, however pleasant, is the correct way to show it. I have a job to do. And friends. I have a place, here.

Hang on. Three female counterparts of the famed Enterprise's crew? That's a very curious phenomenon. One I may have to follow up on...

a_11

Well, I can't say I'm happy about all of this, but at least you are using my program for what it was designed for.

[Yes, yes, doctor. I know.]

Frankly, I don't think you do. I am a diagnostic matrix for the Emergency Medical Holographic System. Do you understand what that means?

[I...]

It means that I am here to be an emergency troubleshooter for any issues in running the EMH. I am not here to be a builder.

I can provide schematics on holo-environments best suited to the EMH, but that's all. To build it, you'll need to schedule an appointment during your next layover at the Kinley Station.

[But...]

Other than that, I'll be happy to help. If this is just a temporary thing.

[It...]

Now, is that all? I have some very important work to get back to, as I'm sure you know. You tasked me with it, after all.

[Ladies and Gentlemen, Dr. Lewis Zimmerman. At least this one you can turn off.]

How very rude! Do you treat all the people you kidnap this way? You could at least show some respect!

manliestmaiden

Do you really want to find a game for me? It would be nice to play in one again, but you're so busy and in two games already. Are you sure you want to make another commitment?

I am flattered, whether you do it or not, anyway! I suppose it would be fun to play with others again...

Current Mood: happy

cannotbesaved

What the hell do you think you're doing?! 'Cannot be saved' - that's a load of crap and you know it! I don't care how much you like me, I'm not wasting my time with someone like you, especially if you're saying stupid things like that.

Of course I can be saved. Not that I need to be; I'll save myself.

alltheangles

My, yes. It has been some time, has it not? Not that I feel unappreciated, you understand. Quite the contrary. The reason I am so "strong," as you say, is because we've bonded quite a bit as Program and User throughout these many cycles. You even named a digital dragon after me. How exciting!

It is good to be back in use after some idle time. Just so long as we remember our understanding that there are games and there are Games. The first is quite fine, but the second is completely out of the question. While what you are considering is quite out of the ordinary for a simple Program such as myself, it is worth running the calculations. I will report to you when I have the data available.

I am quite pleased to be back in service. What's a poor Program to do if not his job? I'll see you again soon, dear User.

nopunintended

You really know how to pick them, don't you?

[ a put upon sigh as fingers run through red hair ]

Look, I know we're going to be stuck with each other for a while, but I was thinking something a little less... I dunno, insane? Adventure? That's great, I guess, but it sounds like something better off not experienced first hand, and you've already know how I feel about the rest of it.

[ let's face it, nothing sounds good about psychological horror ]

Whatever. [ another sigh, this one far more resigned ] Bright side is, no infected, right?

[ woah, wait ]

And showers?

alwaysgrumpy

[It's fine, Akira. You'll love the job.]

Yeah, yeah, I get it. She doesn't mean EVERY monster. She means "monstrous" monsters. The bad ones. The ones that chew on people, I get that.

I'm just sayin', I hear stuff like that and I get a little nervous. It doesn't take a huge leap to go from huntin' the "bad" monsters to huntin' EVERY monster. One of the best ways to keep on eye on that is from the inside.

...I'm not paranoid, I'm cautious. There's a big difference. I'm sure Integra means well.

hungryhunter

So...I'd really appreciate it if you could rethink some of your plans, maybe? I'd rather not embarrass myself that much.

[Pause.]

I do still want to get to eat all kinds of new foods, though. Let's keep that part.

badwolf

You know how it is, Mun. You know I'm not goin' anywhere, so stop worryin' about it for five minutes and maybe try and sort out some of your own problems, yeah? I know it looks tough for everyone else- an' I know you miss 'em. But you gotta get your own life in order before you can start helpin' anyone else. I hate it too. Do I ever... But they'll be alright without us for a while.

And when it's all calmed down again, we can jump back right in the thick of things and get everyone else back in shape. You know they're gonna be a mess without us, either way. Best we can do is focus on getting what's important done first.

im_with_stupei

Wooo. Man, it's about time! It's getting stuffy in here! It's time for me to get out and make the world a little more Junpei-y. And Junpei-y is completely a word.

Anyway, let me get out and explore, there's totally a babe hunt in the works... just gotta find everyone else..

babyfaces

Feh. You think I should be excited for my birthday? I'd be more excited if my present wasn't being signed up to be tortured for the rest of August and all of fucking September. Don't be so excited about it either, you sick sadist.

...And what the hell is this about a birthday skeleton?

[this is a birthday skeleton]

...

I swear if I see any skeletons tonight...

[ooc: spoilers are fine with me, just mark in the header]

heckyeahpropane

Now listen here, Mun.

First of all, your lawn looks terrible. You need to get out there and mow ~~though you haven't earned the privilege.~~ I know you can't do anything about all that crabgrass, but at least make an effort. What will your neighbors think?

Second of all, you need to get your butt to Church, young lady. Those books you read, those stories on the internet...I've never encountered such a twisted mind, and I'm friends with Dale. Put down those erotic romance novels and pick up a Bible.

Third..don't you dare cook those steaks well done. That is a crime against meat, I tell ya what. What part of "medium rare" don't you understand?

Current Mood: irritated

celestial_wizard

I'm grateful for my friends who have been keeping my spirits up - literally. But agreeing to have Loke's key stolen is just beyond cruel - and you can stop laughing about the canon parallels. Nothing's happened there yet and I don't want it to!

[ A sigh. ]

This month is going by too slowly. Just make sure you don't leave me out when we go after that thing to get his key back, all right? ... and take it easy on the other me's you have in those other games too already. Between Tank's lunacy (which is entirely your fault) and Juvia's planning (she scares me.) I worry.

alltheshinythings

You shouldn't be so surprised~ After all, I'm just what you like.

[So much so that it's really kind of creepy. The connection was almost instant with this one.]

I just want shiny things; more things for my dollhouse. You give me those and I'll play nice, I promise. All the shinies for me~

[See that smile? That's a trustworthy smile!

..Right?]

We'll have lots of fun, mun, I promise.

But only if I get what I want.

dimeliora

...Why would being useful in Nautilus mean taking up my old other job again, exactly?

I think everyone who saw it got it the first time around that I'm pretty much the worst goddamn warden who ever wardened there, Wilde.

I get that I'm asking a tall order of Tolkien-esque proportions here, because my god I can only imagine what a thought endures trekking that much empty territory. Especially when its bitter, dying lament only echoes in futility along the confines of the planet's thickest skull. But nevertheless, I have to entrust this task to you here, Pippin, so listen carefully:

Fucking think before you type, would you?

Apparently I was late to throw your "You Are an Ass Party", but I guess you don't mind that it won't be a surprise. I'll get right to it.

Hope you like vanilla store-bought cake and shitty otamatone bands. Because that's what you're getting, kid. That's all you're getting.

Congratulations on that whole being an ass thing, by the way.

burninhale

You're the one "sitting on a throne of bone, drinking the tears of shippers from a golden chalice." Describing me as "loitering in the background like a jackal" sounds far less ominous in comparison — I just thought I'd point that out.

Did I really never get around to sending Lydia that fruit basket? Must've slipped my mind. Actually, before we all die, I should try to make whatever amends can be made. One for Melissa, of course. One "sorry your life has basically always sucked and I didn't help by stabbing you in the neck" basket for Isaac. One "sorry just about your entire pack died, abandoned, or otherwise betrayed you" basket for Derek. And one "sorry for biting you and starting the hideous domino effect that effectively hijacked your life and has led directly to the current shitty state of events" for Scott.

I think that about covers it. There, now everyone can go to their heroic deaths with one fewer thing burdening their minds.

radiohair

You shouldn't worry so much. You'll never learn anything if you don't ask questions, so it's fine.

Even if you don't end up writing an app, it's true that you need to reread things and imagine them a little more solidly... You picked up a lot more glancing back at the earlier parts than you expected, didn't you? If you write things down, you might get an even more solid grasp on them. As long as you plan on theorizing, you should learn as much as you can first.

heartofasun

Dear Mun,

I realize you would love to have the rest of the crew with me, but don't you think this is a rather unlikely way of doing it? Perhaps if you asked nicely instead of begging. Also, it's not everyday that people remember us. You might find castmates few and far between.

And what is this strange obsession you have with Flux?

Besides, I'm good with new people remember? People like me.

ruby_roses

Okay, not that I don't appreciate being paired up with Weiss - because I do, it's a great chance to make up for blowing up on her - but... good grief this is gonna be all kinds of awkward...

[Small whimper.]

This is what happens when Yang shows off. ...No, I'm not pouting.

[...]

...Okay, maybe a little.

beholderoftragedy

...

[ And the mysterious woman just stands quietly; just what are you thinking, bringing her here, mun? ]

ziodynes

What, no! Don't send me there.

What would I even do? That place doesn't even have a gym. And I'm gonna lose Caesar.

Don't do this.

cant_breathe_no_heir

D --> While I feel I should order you to finish the application at a faster rate
D --> I also believe you should put forward some time to relating with your family at the moment
D --> Something I still find hard to properly understand
D --> Though I must still order you to bring me to the fourth wall event

onlydancing

You shouldn't fear. Please don't, don't fear! Sometimes we have to give up that which we love the most, even if not by our own will. I shan't pretend in regards to my life, but for all its failings - it was given to me by God and for that I am grateful. So that I could be Jean Paul's sister. So that I could be Mother's daughter... So that I could be allowed to dance. For all these things, I'm grateful. You have so many things in your life for which to be grateful as well. Please accept them, along with the bad things.

reprodestruction

Sssh.

I can tell, this will be the beginning of something so wonderful... Without any other Mages to compete with, surely I can become the ruler of any world I choose.

[Uh, no Hans, you're way too weak for that.]

...I am not weak. I will show everyone who feels otherwise.

emperor_with_no_groove

[His mun is way, way too excited about the sequel news. And the upcoming movie too!!]

Heh, I knew it wasn’t all over! We’ve still got work to do! [Akihiko pounds his fist into his open palm.] Not sure who’s gonna fill in the last two slots, though. You mentioned maybe Minato? Makoto? [Whatever his name’s gonna be. Like Souji and Yu.] Ken's still in middle school, so he probably won't be able to make it. But Junpei and Yukari... Hell, it'll be just like old times.

[A small, sad smile suddenly plays over his lips.] Uh, I don’t think Shinji’s gonna be in this one… but it’s all right. I’m still fighting for both of us.

H-Hey! What do you mean, I’d better not be wearing hobo clothes?! My outfit before wasn’t that bad!

[Yes it was, Aki. Yes, it was.]

stupei_iori

[Junpei just smirks at the image his mun is looking at.]

Yeah, I know, I'm awesome. It's about time I get allowed to see some more action!

...Yuka-tan isn't looking all that bad either.

littlebityeah

Really. A whole world of language at your disposal and you -- you choose this. Well -- sure! Okay, yes, technically it does immortalize the single greatest feat of my life: proving Hermann wrong. Oh, and Drifting with a kaiju, I guess. -- That was -- that was a joke. I was -- okay. No, yeah, it's alright. Go team.

Listen, do you have any plans, or are we just winging it? 'Cuz you know how I love flying by the seat of my pants, but these pants are about ten minutes away from crashing into the closest semi-comfortable surface for a science coma like the world has never seen. And you know what? I hate sleeping. Naps? Total waste of time. But I'm gonna like it. Why not? I helped save the planet today.

... Okay, I'm too excited to sleep, but wherever I eventually crash, please make sure it's just not -- concrete. Or something that will kill me. Thanks.

serpent_supremacy

You know there should be a rule in how many half-bloods and mud bloods there are at Hogwarts. Too many already walk the halls. The others don't seem to be bothered that our magic blood is being weakened down by these filthy traitors. It never used to be like this. You don't understand and won't, since you do not possess the aptitude to understand my thoughts.

Yet, everything will come together soon. Many things are already set in motion and nothing can stop success. For those who triumph and fulfil their goals become stronger. Away with you now, mundane, as I am a busy man.

spoilersalert

I know the urge to jump in head first. But a little patience for the proper tools pays off. I've spend years on a given task. I think you can manage a few months before I'm out on DVD.

stands_up

Another dome. Really. You think that's funny?

I've made mistakes. I'm not saying I haven't. But everything I've done, I've done for love. We both know you can't say the same. So tell me:

Who's the real psycho here?

gloryisbullshit

Baby, why don't you just come out an' say you miss my ass, huh? Makin all kindsa jokes about VV and whatever siphon he's suckin, tryin to hide the pain--you ain't gotta wither and weep, I'm atcher three, sweetie! Any time you need, you hit the wires an' I'm there, always have been, always plan t'b...

W--hi, hey, hi, whattayou mean, embarrassing?

wetsuited

No. No way! Fuck that, you can't just skip ahead in time and bring me to some weird "GAME", just because-

No! You saw what happened!

[ THINGS, happened, mun. THINGS!! so he's begging like a bitch to not be canon updated. ]

I can't handle that. I can't.

scarletgensokyo

So. You actually want to give it another shot with me, mm? With as little practice as you've had in the past?

Please, do amuse me more. Were it not me you were trying to play, I'd be watching this intently.

However, the night is still young, Mundane. You have time yet, if you still wish to review the games.

Knowing the trials ahead, are you sure you want to go through with this?

...

Very well, then. I look forward to it.

Try not to disappoint me. As entertaining as it would be, don't forget who you're playing here. I do have a bit of an image to keep up.

relictusdeus

A persistent wretch, you are. But you are only wasting your time - and what a surprise that is. I shall repeat myself but once more, and for your sake, I should hope it penetrates that shriveled blob of jelly you call a brain.

I need no one. Him, least of all.

I think we have issues.
