You have reached the automated voice messaging system of: MAGNUS BANE

I am not currently home right now, but if you could leave your name and a brief message at the end of the tiny annoying beep- I'll be sure to get back to you once I return from my 200 year vacation to Fiji.

Good day.

-BEEEP!

-Magnus Bane,
The High Warlock of Brooklyn

p.s. At this rate I'll run out of new take out food places to try.......

gingerzippo

I get it. You like me, but not as much as the other guy. So much for no favoritism, huh?

I'll say what we're both thinking: I just got a home there. It's not easy for me to admit either. Transferring schools is probably gonna be tough, [not that Badou would know, and yes, it's going to be very, very tough,] but you can still push out AC for me, right? Maybe I won't be up and at 'em as often as I used to, but I'll be out there, if anything.

...Let's just see what happens. I don't wanna leave, you don't want me to leave--so what's the issue? I'm still awake as hell. I shouldn't be let go of and that's the end of it. We're done here.

nosweetdreamsleft

[What have you done?

What looks like the Sandman (but he can't be--his body is all black and gray) stares at his mun with a tired, yet vaguely annoyed look on his face.

There's work to do. He attempts to shrug away his mun's attention and waves his arms, generating a gray cloud of sands with flecks of gold in it, and he steps on top. Instinctively, he molds the sand so that it is more of an ever-changing cocoon, hiding him from the world instead of revealing it to him.

Tendrils of gray and gold sand flow from the cocoon, seeking out people who have yet to grieve over a recent loss or upheaval in their lives. If the sand touches such people, they'll be overwhelmed with the need to cry or punch something, depending on the way they cope. After sufficient grieving, they'll feel like a weight's been lifted off their chests, and proper healing can begin.]

just_a_minute

Really? You're not going to put this off until the last minute?

[~~Which is probably what everyone who knew about this was expecting~~]

It took you long enough in deciding to take me there anyway. Tch- to think that you struggled between either bringing me, the washboard, or that thread spool. It shouldn't have even been a competition... not when the great Midou Ban-sama was an option!

Eh- but you came to your senses...

.. but what's Ginji supposed to do without me....?

devildogearring

Ha! Such arrogance you must possess, to believe a powerless being like you can harness the might of Gundam Tanaka and the Four Dark Gods themselves!

I must warn you, fretful one... It will be no easy feat. I have trained under numerous mystics on many spiritual planes, and encountered beasts the likes of which you cannot even imagine. My trials have been countless! To match my prowess, you must grow to understand the path I have walked... If you dare...

Understand that I am a busy man! If your only intent is to dally, then don't waste my time. However... If you truly have your eyes set on your quest... Then let us venture into the darkness together!

Do your best to keep up. I cannot promise that I can keep Maga-G's fighting instinct at bay, so I would advise that you tread lightly, lest you invoke his wrath!

happiestdaddy

Well it's about time you let me out, Mun! The beauty and perfection of my family has to be spread all around! I mean - look! Look at them! They're just so cute!

twoendings

In the end it isn't my choice what you do. Perhaps there is logic to your thinking, perhaps there isn't.

[Of course...when isn't Kirigiri like this? Her mun did just finish reading the LP. So a lot of things are fresh in both minds.]

I think we both know you hold all of the answers. My only advice? Choose wisely, and don't rush into something.

mad_justice

Hey mun, if you want to send me to a game, do it already. It's kind of boring to watch you being very tentative about everything. It's OK, I don't want to kill you or anything. Besides, I don't like killing women. You seem to be a good person as well, so it'd be a shame if you ended up dead. Anyway, I encourage you to go with whatever you have in your mind. It's fun right?

knight_of_zero

Miss Mundane,

I'm flattered that you've decided to dust me off again, but don't you think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself? It's been quite sometime since you've played me, after all. You've got a lot on your plate right now, and looking for "someplace to put me where I can be happy", isn't as important as you focusing on what you have to get done.

Stop scowling at me like that. I understand that you really want to play me actively somewhere again, but I can wait.

Yours,

Suzaku Kururugi

stavros

Though I am truly grateful for your attention, I believe, Mundane, that there is a crucial issue here.

You posted me to the testrun as a joke. However, you have been happily tagging others with me, putting together my story, and if I'm not mistaken, you actually wish to play me seriously. Allow the implications of this to sink in.

I would gladly undertake this duty. I am highly suited to protecting the planet from a wide array of outside forces. My only concern, Mundane, is for your own reputation. You realize the nature of my canon, correct? I mean, of course, it could be much worse, but the image it presents is...

...If you do require a second character, though I will gladly step up, please first consider those on your muselist who do not hail from... "fanservice games".

Aside from that, there is an established character and at least one other potential applicant from the series I'm based on. You might put them off.

ultraperfect

Ugh, it's about time.

You had better get it together, mun. I'm not going to let you tarnish my reputation further as the most popular girl in town. ...It's bad enough Pig Girl's dorky brother ruined it already.

my_martyrdom

( Under a cut for Anime/Manga spoilers of episode 20 )

tantiny

Kuroba!

This is your fault. You did this. If you had just kept your mouth shut like I had asked-!

[ .... ]

And mun, you stop laughing! It's not funny!

skycrossing

Oh! It's been a while. How is everyone doing? Do you remember me? I'm sorry if I've caused anyone trouble while I was away... A lot has happened, and we needed to take a break.

Say, let's catch up! Would you like some coffee or tea? I have time! It would be my greatest pleasure if I could spend some of it with you.

burnedbrighter

I am a girl of simple tastes really.

I enjoy fresh fruit.

A warm summer day.

Reading by candlelight.

And people who appreciate me.

When we met...dearest mun, you claimed to have appreciated me. To respect my difficulties and what I have been through. You swore that if we worked together you would raise me up to great heights and restore some what I lost.

And where do we stand now?

You've re-written my history and rather then allow me the position of authority and glory I deserve!? You drove me mad again. You took away everything I ever wanted and locked me away for years.

You weren't even the one to buy me these extra icons! Someone who appreciates me for who I am...or was, had to do that.

So tell me, why should I so enthusiastically try to lure people into this game that would know me from my old life?

...

Well of course I want to watch them suffer and die! But it's not like I'll be able to appreciate it as much when I'm in character.

And stop using this icon. It's not as funny as you think it is!

cakemoldhair

I'm not keeping that username.

Just what were you planning on doing with an account of me, anyway? I'm not going to a pony game. Ponies are NOT horses. I'm also not going to go cavorting around some fairy tale place. How long do you think I'd be useful in any place where I can't buy ammo?

It's not happening, so get over it, and run along with one of your other weird little big-eyed cartoon characters.

restorebalance

Who would win in a fight: a pirate or a ninja?

Correct answer: the one who knows how to fight like both.

It will be an adjustment, but I am nothing if not adaptable.

However, I do not need a guardian. Would I be pleased to see Bane? Of course. His presence is not necessary, though. Another opportunity to try and kill Bruce Wayne would be appreciated.

thegreatgonzo

Pirate game? Cooool! Hey, maybe we can get the other Muppets and have our own ship. Kermit can be the captain, Sam can be the first mate, and I can shoot myself out of a cannon.

[You guys already made that movie]

So, haven't you heard of sequels? Look at least get Rizzo. And Jimmy-Jim-Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim! And Dead Tom!

[Dead Tom's dead. And which Jimmy-Jim-Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim? There's a ton of different versions]

Any Jimmy-Jim-Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim! I'm not picky.

thetruequeen

You better know what you're doing, Mundane, because I don't have time for your idiosyncrasies when I have papers to initial and knights to train, and while I don't mind not doing paperwork, I know that by the time I get back (whenever that is) that stack will have grown instantaneously and I will have more papers to sign!

And then Father and Merlin will get on my case about neglecting one's duties as a princess of Camelot and how a princess must never fall behind andblah blah blah blah.

Is it my fault that there is always something distracting happening when I am supposed to be doing my duties? Did I ask for that dragon to come try to raze the village? No. And stop looking at me like that!

I do not whine! ...I complain. There is a difference!

Annoyed,
Arthur Pendragon

pink_clone

...I don't like fun anymore...

elderspeaksfirst

True. You have faced much change of late, for one so small. But I know something of change, mal wunduniik. Perhaps you cannot ride the currents of time as I do. But you must do more than endure change if you want to grow strong. Wuldsetiid du sahlo: let the tide swallow you, and it is likely you will drown.

Meditate a short while. Then... staadnau viinggi. Time that you learn something new, I think.

hypertoxic

( whine bitch moan. )

topteen

You gotta be fraggin' kidding me. Kiddo, out of a handful of people who remember me, you're probably the only one who gives enough of a crap t'be doing this. Think about that for a sec and what it means 'bout you.

Yeah, I get'ta move my lips again. So what? 'Least there was more stuff to look at in space. And 'sides, you try makin' the leap from one prison to another; see how you like it.

whiterosefoes

Right, nice to have a good stretch once in a while. However, mundane?

Did you seriously just rewrite a nursery rhyme to be about Duel Monsters? I'd say you're the biggest dork I've ever seen...

But now that they're face to face, I doubt it's even possible to top Rosenkreuz and Kaiba in that department. If they wave their dicks any harder at each other, they'll pop right off!

amerikanskiie

... I don't understand the sudden urge of bringing me out here. Weren't you always so touchy about my existence to begin with? What is this change of heart all of a sudden?

[Ah, perhaps he should stop asking. Asking too many questions leads to trouble, and trouble is what he wishes to avoid.]

... at least do your responsibilities of fixing up the details of my timeline. I still do not understand your interpretation of what occurred during the second Great War.

Please allow me to rest, now. I don't want to see their faces at present.

strawberry_roll

...Oh, please. A black-an'-white world...? Nothing I haven't handled before. Least this time they haven't touched my pretty strawberry shades...

......Eh? Well, it's not like Daisy has much reason to notice. Other than, y'know, the obvious...

Seriously, though. They better not take my colors away. I don't CARE if it's 'just a coincidence'; I won't STAND for it--!

Current Mood: annoyed

notyetlegend

Are ye done tweakin' th' icons?

Good.

[Deep breath.]

How can ya ship me wit' someone who's movie isn't even out yet?! It's bad enough th' other me told me to stay away from Jacks an' then ye went against it, but this? An' don't get me started on that right self-absorbed git who thinks he's good enough t' be Emperor.

Ugh, an' mum says I'm impossible.

solowingpixy

You're really considerin' it, huh? Now why do I get the feeling that it's only going to effect one of us and not both?

You know fully well what I mean. You'd have an easier time parting with that kid than you would me. Judging by how you've been acting lately, you might as well go home with your tail between your legs. Your ability to keep up died at the last plot, and even before that you're constantly apologizing for your inability to tag. That hardly forgives you for it, you know. And you know fully well that I'm right.

But if you're bent on trying to find a way back, then who am I to stop you. Bear in mind that'll mean shelvin' that game you've been playing religiously for a while. Somehow I suspect you won't be able to do that.

Make your choice, kid. Either put in more effort than you have been, or give up this charade. If you want to throw in the towel, now's the time.

hostclubshadowking

Well. It's hardly ideal, but it is better than your last idea. You do, at least, know what my marketable skills would be in such a place. I'm not sure my father would approve, but, then, he won't know.

Besides, as you say, it's only a "test drive." This is not a binding contract.

You should stop bothering your friend, though, about bringing Haninozuka-senpai. While, yes, he could certainly take care of himself, it would still be best if the others didn't get dragged into this, too.

kumacy

[ Upon learning that powers are limited to an extent, and that her mun intends to limit her Negative Hollows to one use per day, Perona has this to say: ]

E-EH?! You're going to take away my hollows? You fool, it's dangerous out there! I'll surely die!

I really don't mind going to a place that's like the Grand Line, but not like this! I don't even have a ship, you know!

lollygothangel

Hey mundane, I got a bone to pick with you. You might think you're being oh so subtle and clever in not letting me know what sick and twisted thoughts you come up with but might I remind you that I am in your fucking head and that makes it kinda hard to miss certain thoughts of yours. I thought I'd made it quite fucking clear I'm just fine without my skank bitch of a sister there and that I really, really don't want to have to think about the sort of things Garterbelt would get up to there.

Ugh, see? Now you got me thinking about it all over again. Almost enough to kill the appetite you're not working to fix quickly enough. And while I'm here, fuck you very much for that oh so entertaining idea of yours. Because that's going to make me want anyone from Daten to show up any more than I already don't.

Here's an idea. Work on getting castmates for someone who actually wants them. You're always moaning about how you want that old assassin guy for red and eyepatch or pretty much anyone for that idol chick you got up here, why not let them deal with this? I got enough shit to deal with already.

middleofcalibrations

You know, there were plenty of games set in space. And on spacefaring ships. Are you sure you're not just amused by the idea of putting me on an ancient pirate ship? Or is it because Shepard and Tali are there?

I'd probably be a bit more annoyed, but... well, to be honest, I'm distracted by the chickens. Is that really what humans think everything in the galaxy tastes like? Why would you eat anything that makes that much... noise?

I'd better be allowed to keep my gun.

wtfs

I'd say you don't have a foot to stand on, but I'm feeling generous, so: you've a foot, at best.

Shall I wish you good luck? Hurry up and make up your mind, I haven't got all day.

pathofthorns

Ahhh, its been a while, hasn't it? You haven't let me talk since Livejournal and you want us both to just jump into a game because of the new guys in the SMT 'family' and some salty witches?

[....:S]

Well, I guess I can understand that. They do sound pretty cool from what you're saying, mun, but isn't this a bit hasty?

[....:<]

*sigh* Alright then. I guess there's nothing to do but to try it. I have been wanting some new occult magazines anyways; all the ones in your head are years out of date.

[....:)]

revolutes

-- I am not a thing. [ very pointedly said, actually! "thing". that's derogatory he expected better from you! >:( huffs quietly . . . ]

. . . You claim little confidence and your time less ample than earlier days-- yet you intend to send me . . . [ he makes a slight face. ] There.

[ totally Judging with a capital j . . . ] I do not have time for uncertainties-- You know this. [ it was a few days of thinking it over that's totally legit!! ]

It is not enough-- and this is not wise. [ considering that, my dear lady, is horror town 2.0. he gives a dismissive sort of wave after a short pause, a wrinkle of his nose, and a near roll of his eyes. because an rper's gonna do what they want and connor can't do anything but wait. why is he even here why can't he leave . . . ]

crowdsource

You don't have to keep saying that it was brutal. I know it was brutal. I was there.

scaredforthem

I'm not entirely sure this is a good idea. At least listen to a couple more episodes before you commit to this?

Except you're already pretty committed, aren't you? Journal, icons, everything.

It will be an interesting experiment if nothing else.

brains_before_bullets

I've seen some pretty dumb shit in my time... This is probably one of the least dangerous, but it's still fucking dumb.

I mean, you don't even know what you're gonna do with me. You don't even know the end of the fucked up shit I'm going through.

I dunno, man. I feel like this is just going to add to everything.

yearrounder

...wow. So they just...keep getting it wrong, huh. I know last time I said that was probably a good thing, but isn't it getting kind of ridiculous now?

At least I was blonde this time.

lastwizard1412

No, no, no, no, NO!

For the sake of my sanity, PLEASE do not include him in your repertoire.

It's bad enough he's already a Voice.

Do Not Give In...

Current Mood: aggravated

psychic_supremecy

You have trouble putting words to your 'app' and you come to me for guidance? Considering I don't wish to go there in the first place, why would I aid you?

Stop this foolishness and leave me be.

barelyknow

Yes, good. This is great. You've got the movie, you've made some more of those icon thingies. Maybe know we can actually get to doing something? I mean, do you know how boring it is to just sit around your head space?

And hey, you never know, maybe if you share those icons we'll see some familiar faces around.

Hey, it could happen.

Also, whatever this tangled brave dragons rising thing is? It sounds super weird, and I think I've got enough of that on my plate, don't you?

shivery

[There is a clearly unamused, well, muse here.]

Hey, come on. It's about time you paid attention, you know. I was starting to wonder if I'd gone all invisible again. Really. How long did you sit on the journal before you even filled my name in? How do you think that makes a guy feel?

Yeah, yeah. Busy. Heard that one before. Look I need to get out, stretch my legs. Have some sort of fun that isn't just messing with the parade of nutjobs you've got stowed away back here.

[So he's not taking no for an answer.]

So find me a home. Preferably somewhere good.

...I mean good. As in not bad. As in not boring. Come on, you can do it.

chocobocadet

Are you sure about this? It's not that I don't want to get out, it's just...are you sure it's a good idea right now? You keep saying how stressed and overworked you are, so maybe I can just sit this one out?

Okay, if you think you can handle it.

fuckelves

All right, I'll admit that at first I was totally averse to the idea of playing these games of yours.

But this sitting around waiting doesn't suit me either. I'm a Dwarf of action, by thunder! I can't be lounging about like some gluttonous goblin - I need my comrades, I need something to do dammit!!

So figure out what you want to do with me, buckle down and get that app done!

lifescratched

I expected it to be beneficial, when you told me I was to share the company of allies from the past and future. As things are now, however, it is a great deal more trouble than I anticipated... [Dragon transformations, Desmond freaking out, Connor playing damage control, that whole thing.] Still, they are not fully to blame. And as Desmond's ancestor, it is my duty to watch over him, so I will continue to.

There is one thing I must implore of you, mundane. ( Potential ToKW spoilers )

a_warped_dream

Mun-chan remembered me~ I knew you wouldn't forget me. Buuut~ [ He smiles darkly. ]

I still need to come up with a good punishment for you for making me wait so long.

I think we have issues.
