Aug. 17th, 2013

Pretty sure this one makes me sound like an alcoholic. Should have went with "lovesitalianfood." You know I'm in love with Italian food. Plus, that one can't possibly be misconstrued. Unlike "bigtuna." ...is there a reason all of these are about food?

tanukichi

So... it's time for business numbers.

Yes, yes the trifling cost of having me as a muse and setting up this journal comes to 9,110,000 bells. Pocket change, really.

I've been thinking... you know, your journal would be better if you just paid for 100 icons. I'd gladly pose for you exclusively for them but that will be an additional "talent" fee.

For a piddling --

What is that? Why are you screaming in rage, mun? Mun?

I can offer a "familiarity" discount if you've paid off your home loan!

constituent

Talk about spur of the moment. I'm not sure if I'm flattered or worried.

I might be neither; just excited not to be grounded here in your mind anymore.

Let's make it last this time around, alright?

burnedbrighter

This...is not the worst thing you've ever done to me.

But I can't help but wonder when you'll come back around to your usual ways. Torture, manipulation, ruining my fragile grip on reality.

Those pills can only contain the monster for so long. And when she escapes...

...I hope you're prepared to deal with the consequences.

bodyguard

So you went with me instead.

I'm sorta hedging (ha ha!) between grateful and lousy, I got people who'll be there and I won't remember even the guys nearest and spark dearest. I've heard about fae-ning amnesia but I'm sure you're bein' unreasonable.

And having me remember caste first, 'stead'a Knock Out? Are your sensors on the fritz? He's ... y'know. Kinda important. And so is Screamer - what, you couldn't let me remember either of them first?

I usually don't say this, but you should lemme do the thinking for us, squishy.

And stop pushing me at that Wrecker. I don't even know the guy.

sweetjeans

Excuse me but what the fuck is this shit?!

[holding up a poster advertising:

'The Lonely Hearts Club; Nice guys that deserved the nice girl.

Were you a nice guy to a very special girl that broke your heart? Feel like there isn't a soul in the afterlife that doesn't understand your pain? Well think again, because the boys over at the LHC would love to have you!

We didn't find love in life but doesn't mean you can't now!!'

Crumpling it up in an angry rage.]

I-I'm not a lonely heart god damn it! I've gotten so many chicks with my picture box thingy and they allll like me! So piss off lady, go play your stupid little people box game or whatever and give me a break!!

unlikely_equalist

I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish by putting me here. I mean, I'm as hopeful as you are that a game will take me, or that I'll finally get to meet Amon himself in person. I could be a great asset to the cause if I could get into contact with him, I'm sure of it.

But I also run the risk of running into my family here. They won't understand. This is my path, like the warriors in the books I've read. They always stuck to their paths even when their families didn't understand. I just... want them to know I'm still theirs, even if everything has changed for me. If they don't listen, I don't know what I'll do. The revolution is coming and they're not prepared to see reason. I need to reread that book on that new field of study into how families work, I guess.

Either way, good luck with the game search. Something tells me we'll need it.

Current Mood: contemplative

handydandydaddy

Look, I'm not very good with this sort of thing. Let's be brutally honest with each other; I'm probably the last person you would want to have a "voice test" session with. You make it seem so casual...

Really, I really don't think I should be here.

pyrostorm

What the hell kind of moron do you take me for? You really think I'm going to go along with this? Being tossed on a ship and playing pirates? Cut the crap. I don't play anything. And no, I don't care what happens to me back home. That's still better than this. [ Well, maybe if his majesty was there, it'd be a different story... ]

And besides, do you honestly think you can handle me? Look at you. You're pathetic! You'd be better off with that eyesore that's always bothering me. Ha! If you could even handle that!

Just do us both a favor and die already.

arach_nerd

( Spoilers for Mission Marvel )

my_martyrdom

It's rather nice to see familiar faces, isn't it?

Being able to spend time with Bertholdt, Reiner and Ymir has been oddly calming but I hope I'm able to meet up with more of our Training mates from the 104th and even some of the officer's we've been with through various missions.

( Cut for spoilers )

nofightingdestiny

So what if considerin' me for a game is a bad idea? Not like it's ever stopped me - or you - before, mun. Never know how it'll turn out if you don't take a chance.

[Someone just wants a shiny new power to play with...]

undisney

[It's a shock to her. Wide mouthed and wide eyed before she closes it and narrows her eyes darkly.]

Pirate ship.

[There's a shake of her head, bells faintly being heard for those who know the language. She isn't hppy. Peter won't be happy.]

No.

[Unless...]

Gut them. [And there's a big smile on her face.]

hemeleno

But why would I want to leave? You have fun people in here too, that...take care of me.

I think you might be overestimating your abilities.

[ What TV show did you just get that from. ]

I'm just saying.

notyetlegend

I'm not speakin' to you if you go through with this. Ever.

hexagrams

Of them all, you choose me? I'm quite flattered. I understand that the task sounds daunting, but I can assure you that I'm not an overly complicated person.

[ he doesn't find himself complicated at all. with kimblee there are no grey areas - he knows what his purpose is, and he always sees it through. it's just an unfortunate fact that that purpose entails .... blowing the shit out of people ...... ]

And this place you've chosen; a world where the suffering is prevalent, where there is no respite for the inhabitants within --

I like it. Good work.

skeletsun

THIS USERNAME IS STUPID!!!

What do I look like to you, some blushing pigtailed schoolgirl giving out boxed lunches?! Do you think this is some sort of joke?! I AM LORD HATER, SOON TO BE RULER OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!! AND YOU WILL TAKE ME SERIOUSLY OR I WILL--

...
You're not even listening, are you?
OH, WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER?!

batmanschmatman

You know, there's a pretty simple solution if you're feeling like you miss me. I mean, it's not like you don't have the time or the resources to do a little reviewing.

[Hush you, I'm busy and have a life. 8(]

And it's not like I miss the ship of doom or anything, but I could probably be talked into another extended vacation. If you're up for it. [But, Dick. :|] Bummer that Harvey's there, though. Assuming I do get a vote in this? Maybe don't go with the whole "hey wouldn't it be fun to have Robin on the Barge" idea. I mean, it's not like it would be the first time you did something like that, but seriously. Nothing good is going to come from the two of us stuck together in the first place, let alone if I'm just a kid when it happens.

... Don't give me that look, it's a terrible idea. [:|]

crownless

But you can't, 'cause I'm just that fucking irresistible, huh.

And I hope you've at least made your mind up this time. Could you be any more wishy-washy about this game stuff? Jesus. At least I'll actually be able to get some kinda exercise here without getting tossed in the slammer, or anything.

Two requests, though: none of this 'character development' bullshit you seem to get off on, and make damn sure you make me look good this time! I'm sure I know my own personality better'n you, and you're screwing it up, sorry to say. I'm supposed to make a dramatic entrance, and protagonist rules mean you've been making me lose too many fights. Fix that.

[lol okay sure travis.]

theybounce

You really shouldn't get so worked up over this, you know. It can't be helped. Is it really their fault you didn't think of it until just now? Just move on to bigger and better things.

I do agree with you and your friend, though. I hope Ba'ul is okay, wherever he is.

ocd_reaper

I'm okay, mun. I just...I should probably clean up her apartment. Or maybe I'll just go fix the mammoth bones again. The spiders are probably making more of a mess of them than normal.

Besides, didn't you say you wanted me to experience everything with relationships?

[Not like this, Kiddo. Breaking up with someone, yes, but not like this.]

This is part of it though, right? It's normal. I'm okay. I just need to clean up what's left behind is all. Fix a few things around the cottage, too, maybe.

[...]

filthylucre

Right shame, that. I was so looking forward to continuing on with the old business in new lands! Might've had a rocky start of it at first, but I'm sure things would have turned quite a profit eventually.

Well~...

I don't suppose you'd be interested in attempting to ply my trade elsewhere? This is actually pretty great; I needn't even offer you anything in return! As *I* am *your* puppet, you're already the one getting the lion's share of benefit from our partnership. Should you decide to deny me? Well, you're only denying yourself entertainment at the same time!

thedefinitionof_insanity

NOW you're FUCKING TALKING

Just when I was starting to lose faith in you, my little mun, you go and say something like this. We got ourselves a good understanding here, eh?

notallwhowander

Well gee mun, I don't even know what to say t'tell you how excited I am t'be here! Not only are you givin' me this opportunity to explore a new place in the galaxy, but Lord Hater's here too! It's like you knew he was gonna be here or somethin'!

[YOU COULD SAY THAT.]

Now I just need t'find Sylvia and we'll be golden! I'm sure she's around this place SOMEWHERE..

7_of_septimal

I wonder if this will be alright?

I've been really busy since everything happened. I've had to go through all the data and started writing the security codes all over, including coming up with new passwords everyone will remember. Nagisa asked me to help with the transfer stuff too, and Ritsu-sensei is still recovering so I'll have to continue reporting in person to him.

I really don't want to go out anymore than that though. So if you put me someplace it would be kind of boring for other people wouldn't it? I don't really want to meet a lot of different people and I'd rather not lose all of my data and not have access to my computer either. Plus I have all of my things here. Well almost everything.

I wonder if Loveless still has that charm that I gave him? It obviously worked so hopefully he kept it to continue using for other battles too and didn't throw it out or something.

libriomancy

Mm well...I suppose traveling to other worlds might be fun. I mean, as long as I'm not in any life threatening danger. I'm not going to be in any life threatening danger, am I? It's just...I-I think I've had enough of that for awhile and my awhile translates into eons. Maybe a vacation, but not too long a one, might be good? [ Have a curious look. ]

Oh! I do hope there's a library! I do love my books after all. Maybe if you could find me one that's decent I might consider it. No such thing as too much knowledge, right!?

quirinus

I'd rather n-not.

Go there I mean.

Thanks.

You're not s-serious right?

themotherfucker

Oh, shut up.

[Yeah, that's all he has to say on the subject.]

duckduckdead

Holy shit, seriously? This song and dance again?

knavish_sprite

You know, RPing me? Not a substitute for actually writing your book.

I do like the face you've given me, though. Much better than Stanley Tucci.

...No, I will not speak in iambic pentameter, don't even think about it. You'll just embarrass yourself. Close out that Wikipedia tab showing you the rhythms of it. No.

redheadedsiren

Look, I understand completely. You're almost fully caught up now, and the fact that I'm finally a Druid makes me way more appealing, right?

Well, you can forget it. I'm not going anywhere without him.

- or the hound.

aftermyfuzzyfur

Mun-chan, why are you laughing at what I said? Oh was it because you finally fell for my bear-y charming looks and sense of humor~? You sure chose a weird time to start falling for me...But better late than never!

I missed you too mun-chan! But I miss Sensei more! [ That stung. ]

trustexercises

All right, all right. I'd tell you to be patient, but I'm not exactly the type of guy who should be arguing for patience, y'know? Still, I'm not sure how I feel that when you're complaining about having too much of a goody two-shoes there, that you have to come running to me.

I mean, come on! I can't be your answer to that, can I?

But still, a place that's so desperate that it's almost indiscriminate has gotta be interesting somehow.

[He pauses to grin.]

What, you expected me to say no? To fight tooth and nail? That's not my style. If they want me, let 'em have me. Let them decide if it's a mistake or not.

ironface

Hoy, Miss Mundane...

This is rather fast, don't you think?

But be that as it may, my primary concern is that your coursework won't interfere with your plans. If it does, or if you think it will, perhaps this is not the best idea?

digophelia

Actually, that is a good question, isn't it? If things are not quite the same, but somewhat relatively... restored in Wonderland, do I still have to move down Hatter's table? I thought I would never utter these words, but I sorely miss that now that I am older. Their antics when I was younger are sorely missed.

dawnking

I cannot fault you for your dedication, but recording my every word seems excessive. A summary of the conversation would be more than enough, I am sure.

... Conversely, I do not much care for you referring to me as a "dumb loser" or a "dork." I have to assume given your general attitude towards me that these are well intentioned jibes, but are they truly necessary?

dolfin

I don't get it. [ why he's here, he means. ]

...There's no pool here to swim. [ in such a monotone voice, naturally. ]

( free! )

jennomaly

Ooh, nice to stretch my legs! Please don't pack me away like that again. I don't like the dark. [She looks a bit somber for a moment before she brightens up again, a thought coming to mind.]

...Do you think Dad's around here someplace?

stupei_iori

...I'm not sure I'm as excited anymore. ...Especially if everyone is like that...

jerksoff

You know, I only jerked off once during the story! On screen, that is.

~♪ It's fine though... This is really exciting. It gets the brain juices flowing to imagine all the possibilities, but I hope I'm surprised by things that exceed my imagination! Dragons or aliens or something even better.

Don't make me get all pumped up for nothing, now!

will_quixote

No. No. Absolutely not. Are you out of your fucking mind?

Yes. The answer you're looking for is yes you are. No, don't interrupt me. You decided that I should say something on this... thing... posting, tweeting, blogging... whatever it is! The point is that if I'm going to be forced to say something I'm going to damn well say it:

Yes. It's a fact that approximately 77% of the population use the internet on a regular basis and people in your age group spend about 40 hours a week on the damn thing but does that mean that I should have to be made an accomplice to this madness? I have a choice and I choose to stay as far away from this and you as possible.

[He sighs] Yes, the fact that you're attempting to keep up to date with current affairs is admirable and, though scared for my well being, I'm flattered that you watch my show. You seem to be ahead of the curve when it comes to believing some of the bullshit that people are shoveling these days but that doesn't mean that I want to be a "muse" or whatever you're calling me. And, actually, while I'm on the subject, you might want to seek professional help. Uh, I know I haven't been the, ah, most staunch supporter of the field but in your case I think it's a valid suggestion since, while it only effects about 1% of the population the fact that you believe that I and others are in your head make me wonder whether you might actually have dissociative identity disorder.

[He pauses, shaking his head as he pulls a cigarette out of his pack and lights it]

If you don't mind I actually have real work to do so why don't you just go back to your blogging or whatever it is that you're doing.

topthreepercent

... Asgard?

[ there's a thoughtful pause. ]

Well, I-- I suppose I wouldn't be opposed to going back there. Some day.

gotate

Oh my.

My mun tells me that many of you have befriended my son, Eren Jaeger.

Well, thank you. He's just a boy but he has a lot of passion and energy. Please treat him well, he'll make mistakes and might even get himself into trouble but I can't always be there for him. He'll need good friends to help him though his life and I worry more and more he's serious about joining the Military..

[A soft chuckle, the tips of her fingers cover his lip.]

Dear, just look me. Sorry for being so motherly.

butterflyknight

Are you sure you're an adult? They put out just a couple pages about me and the Butterfly Knights, only two paragraphs about me, and you're freaking out. It's really, really stupid.

Seriously, though, stop messing around! I have way more important things to do than mess around with whatever this place is. Besides, if you want me to go anywhere, you have to have history. And pictures. Stuff like that. There's only one picture of me out there, and I'm not telling you anything if it means I have to leave the Knights.

So deal. Find someone else to play your stupid games with.

noncompulsatory

Charming. Yes, I do exist, my dear, and I'm insulted at the idea that you'd forget about me! Of all people!

Well. Now that we've settled that score and you're seemingly done playing silly games for the moment, how about you help me find a case or something of the like? It's stagnant in here.

I think we have issues.
