Sure I could do that!

You know, all of that - grow up like a human, with parents and brothers or sisters - or, ha, maybe both, I guess! Make a lot of friends... Heh - I bet it would be great, getting to live like that, actually! I mean, I guess you'd know kind of a lot more about how it's supposed to go than me... Especially in a world like that! Since it's a lot like the world you're from - right?

And uh - wait. You said if I did go there, the point is that you'd want me to turn out "happy and confident". Uhh - yeah, and "kind of a mama's boy", too, but hey! Ha ha - yeah! I'll trust you! I mean, if you decide you wanna do it and all...

Huh? What would I wanna be when I grow up - ohh, you mean, like, jobs? ...I'm, uh - gonna leave the "human stuff" like that to you...

bravelittlehero

Can I really go somewhere else? I-I don't like it here very much. I can't find my friends.

I don't know where they went, and Lee said to find them. What should I do? I don't want to leave anyone behind.

At this place...do you think there's someone who can trim my hair for me?

Current Mood: nervous

mega_maiden

...maybe someday, Blues will smile? I'm sure boy me and Roll will be better soon though.

I'm doing my best to take my own advice, don't be a cynic with me right now.

[Has a flower crown dropped on her head instead. She huffs softly in amusement.]

Thank you.

mikalski

So, let me get this straight.

[His voice is tight at first. At least, until he exhales a cloud of smoke too big for any normal human being's lungs.]

The plan is to pull me from the dramatic clutches of the end of the world and stick me in a bigger, suckier version of the place that killed all my friends.

...I'm... not sure I like your definition of irony. See, this is your problem- you're missing, like, the whole entire metaphor. It's a commentary on societal views changing the entertainment industry.

[He gesticulates absently with one hand, fingers tight around the lip of a joint.]

You're perpetuating the steady decline of an entire genre just by participating, but not just that, it's also kind of morally irresponsible. I gotta say, your life choices are p r e t t y questionable.

...Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go talk to that fish over there...

jessiesgotagun

Love the 'user name' thing, baby doll. Very apropos, as they say.

Just as long as you don't forget it.

Current Mood: amused

ex_battlevest998

You ain't got the time, and you're crowded enough as it is. Pick someone else.

eewbunnies

Oh. Oh, I see how it is. You let me go because, and I quote, "you had other plots going on back then." And now, that there's the possibility of sending me into a Wheadon-esque sort of horror game, you're willing to pick me back up again.

When was the last time you watched my show? I believe it was 2003? When we went off the air? A whole decade ago. And now you're going to start writing me again.

.......Still better than being vivisected, I suppose.

But just barely.

forgefavored

Look, lady. I appreciate your interest and all, but now ain't exactly the best time for this. In case ya hadn't noticed, things are really hittin' the fan across the board. Doctor Blakk's pushin' hard and the Shane Gang's gotta push back even harder. How're Eli and the others gonna do that if I'm not there to back 'em up and keep their mecha beasts in top workin' order?

Besides, even if ya are all caught up on episodes, you said yourself that a canon review would probably be a good idea. Seein' as how you're still workin' on that, why not put me back where ya found me? Then maybe we'll chit chat about this again after Blakk's not a threat anymore.

psychic_supremecy

I had hoped that you had abandoned your bid to send me to that city. I see now that nothing I do will persuade you otherwise, just delay the inevitable.

With that in mind, if you intend to see this through, I expect you to submit the application by tomorrow. Get it over with.

ss_buttcrack

Harvey is grey || John Crichton is blue

Mun, let's talk, shall we? You've been doing a fair job so far, but I think it's time we take this in a new direction. You've kept me trapped inside of John's psyche for far too long. You can't keep me neutered like this forever. It's time you gave me some real power!

Would you listen to this piece of garbage? One day past our first anniversary and he thinks he's run'n the show.

Now there's an idea, Mun. Ditch this loser Crichton and let lil' old me have some fun in the sun! I want to be my own man! Come on, I know you've thought of it before already.

Harvey you need to get your head out of the sand and get a clue! That is never gonna happen. The only direction you're headed in is straight down. Isn't that right Mun? You want to talk about ditching losers, why don't we start by dumping him? C'mon Mun, call it a late anniversary gift. Whaddya say?

[Sigh...]

((Apologizing in advance for limited amount of Harvey icons.))

wildcardpotential

[Shes smiling at me, knowingly, sitting as she does with her perfect posture and as innocent a look as any. I fidget uncomfortably.]

[C'mon, don't look at me like that! Yes, yes, I know, I should study between classes.... She raises an eyebrow.]

[And I know I should finish the stupid game before I try to roleplay you seriously... This time she crosses her arms and raises both eyebrows. OKAY FINE I'LL BELIEVE IN MYSELF, OKAY? YOU'RE GREAT, I HAVE IDEAS I WANT TO TRY AND I CAN'T WAIT TO WRITE FOR YOU. HAPPY?]

Yes.

furryflarkinfiend

........REALLY?!

Of all the places to flarkin' send me, you pick that place?!

necrodollicon

But it was a song that motivated you to finally do this? Isn't that a bit stupid?

You're too easily swayed by your own whimsy. Stop this, you have no plans or strategy anyway.

ohbuggerrrrrrr

[That subject line has not escaped Otto's notice. Unimpressed vampire is looking at you funny, mundane.]

Oh how ve laff.

[Ha. Ha.

Still. Always look on the bright side of life--or unlife, as it so happens.]

Ve are goink to be having a sing-song und a hot cocoa, yes?

No?

I don't see vhy not, you are not havink any ozzer plans.

declare_war

Mun-chan~ I think you've kept me locked in here for long enough. If you keep me in here any longer then I'll have to make your other muses go away so you can pay more attention to me.

Besides, little Piko looks like he needs a good 'vacation'.

illusorius

[ ...you'd think maybe he'd at least put down his book, but nope. His head stays buried in it the whole time; pausing only occasionally to turn the page. ]

...considering your track record, there's maybe a 60 to 40 percent split as to whether or not something will come from your renewed interest in me.

Either way, you would do well to remember not to leave things half-finished. Aiming higher as opposed to your usual scraping for the bare minimum would serve you well in the long run.

freeandbrave

Hahahaa! It's about time you finally got around to playing me more! I'm so much better than those other lame asses taking up your headspace. And you are damn fucking right the United States of America demands your attention! I don't wanna hear any of those "I don't have the energy for you today" excuses. I can help you; drink a few mugs of coffee and get at it!! I'm a great distraction from stuff for you as well!

Oh, and I know you've been wondering whether or not to get a paid for me, and I think you should totally do it, mun! You know I need more than fifteen of those little boxes, dude. And how about one of those games too, huh? Bet there's plenty out there in need of a hero!

sandsofhell

No, no I'm not going through something like this. Find yourself another damn toy.

saveahorse

Seonbae. While I'm... flattered in a way that you've found me the most appealing of F4 to invest your time in, I have to say I'm also a bit surprised. Given the other more rambunctious personality types I'm slowly becoming acquainted with, I would have thought someone like Jun Pyo was more suited for you.

That aside, there is one concern I have to address. I hate to be predictable, but these worlds you're considering? I can assure you they aren't for me. I rather like my position in Korea. I think I'm perfectly happy staying put.

Why don't you hold off for a while, see if your fascination with me calms down. It might save us both a headache, don't you think?

kaijurockstar

So that's how it's gonna be? You're just-- (newt furiously pushes his glasses back up the bridge of his nose) --sending me away to some backwater, fancy-schmancy, high-tech town-prison and calling it a day?

I saved the world! EXCUSE ME. I saved the god damn world, and this is the thanks I get? Real glad for that; you're unbelievable. "Oh, no more kaiju, guys. Guess we don't need Newton Geiszler and his amazing mind anymore, toss him into the woods and leave him to fend for himself." What if the kaiju come back, huh? And I'm not here to save your sorry asses again? ... I hope you get eaten.

(there's a high-pitch whine under his breath.)

I deserve better. I deserve a Nobel prize. A statue. Okay, at least a plaque.

(crossing his arms, he puts on the poutiest face a 35-year-old man can make.)

Does this place at least have something interesting going on? I'm not going to have to teach any hicks how to dissect frogs, right?

metamorph

S'alright if I'm by myself. I've handled worse than this in my sleep, and you know it. Besides, the whole alternate future bit's kinda neat-- minus the giant world war thing. We can't be too picky, though; it's not like things're completely hopeless.

Now, chin up. We still gotta find some butterbeer or something passable. Muggles are interesting, but come on. You have no idea how to make a good meal. No offense or anything.

unwarrented

That username isn't very nice, mun.

Hm, should that be 'dumb', or is mundane a good enough word for someone like you? Maybe it doesn't matter, because you're just asking for a penalty. I don't care that I'm not in charge out there, I'm in your head. This whoooooooole warren is just hopping to have something done with it! B-but even more importantly then that, you're... you're going to hurt my feelings if you talk like that...

[muffled sobs]

... wait, that's not working either?

Ah well. Worth a shot, right?

Eh heh heh heh heh heh heh!

itbetraysme

I don't think this idea is as good as you think it is lady.

Taunt someone else, I have other things to deal with. Like malpractice suits brought by a disgruntled woman because she left shit out here and there and left people wonder too long. But of course that's my fault or some bullshit.

Get it? I have too much going on and no time for your game shit.

ofthedarkspear

...hm.

flightofdeath

Now, this is a familiar situation, is it not? How many years has it been now, four? Yes, exactly four to the date. And here you are, and here I am. You should know something, mundane. With all the years I've been within your "headspace" you know by now all that I require to thrive. I will not waste my words by trying to talk you out of this, as I know you are set.

Make things as smooth for me as possible, and you know we won't have issue. You, ultimately, have the power, and as much as I'm loathe to admit it, I'm at your mercy. Lucky for me you are typically the merciful sort. As well as the typical sort. Although, I doubt one could argue that I am a typical choice for a "muse," as you'd call it. And to be around for so long...

You must like me. Make me happy, and I may consider returning the favor.

agraveman

...

.....

This has got to be one of your better ideas. You, who rarely play men, and when you do, well, you swap them for women.

I am humbled and delighted to be part of your fold.

Now point me to the party, and hand me my sword. I'm going to find myself a sheath.

Or are we going with modern humor?

In that case, I better find myself a dame.

spiritedgirl

Hey. Mundane, right? Sure was nice of you to take me into your headspace like this. I'm not sure I understand why if you ain't got no plans to speak of - I mean, I figure you got your hands full of them other folk around here but if you say you got space for me, you got space for me and I ain't arguing.

An' don't worry about my voice. That's the whole point of this testing thing, right? And as tests go, this one really ain't so terrifying. 'Specially if it means I might get to see some of my friends again. And it's not like you don't know what I sound like.

By the way. I like the name you picked for me. Not as depressin' as them other ones you were thinkin' of. So thanks for that.

animusangelus

Let me get this straight...

You want me to wish for my motorcycle so I can turn into a wolf?

freerange

Haven't you humiliated me enough, mun? You didn't even app me to a game last time!

But no, you had to drag me here to Insanejournal, didn't you? You're never satisfied.

gimmicky

No.

Really. I'm fine with being left alone. I don't need to go to a game. Especially not one where people will know me.

I can hear the one-trick-pony jokes already. And I'm not even sure what a pony is.

Just...let me stay in your head. Where things are nice and normal.

Normal's rare for me, okay?

selfmotivations

So you're sending me to a world where you muns get the chance to showcase all of our lovely little memories and thoughts for everyone else trapped in there to see through dreams.

...Wonderful. Just exactly what I want.

[sarcasm. it is there. sigh. the fate of all muses is to be tormented it would seem.]

This might have gone easier if it was still a nice, bustling city instead of looking like all the spirits died.

[hitting a little too close for comfort here.]

shamash

Although I never knew my mine... I suppose it is true that children take after their mothers, isn't it?

[ very much so... ]

... I apologize. That probably wasn't the kind of reaction that you wanted, was it? [ ... ] Well, I did think... that I'm glad that he was raised to be polite and have good manners.

[ "good manners"... ]

magictree

Okay. I totally get why you'd want to play me - I'm sort of awesome. Like supreme witch awesome - which brings up the question of why you're trying to strip me of my powers? I just got them back! ...Is this doing anything to sway your mind? Because this totally sucks.

Speaking of which, do you really think you can keep me in the same brain space as vampy-me? I mean, she's cute and all, but i don't think we really see eye to eye on stuff like morality. Or not eating people. It's not just a quick jump, you know.

theherofromjunes

Hey, you want to play me somewhere? Dude, cool! There's gotta be loads of things we can do, right? Places to go, people to see...

[especially pretty girl type ones...]

This is gonna be sweet! I can't wait to get out and get going!

...Except. Uh.

... Why is Kanji-kun saying that I ought to be worried?

tornados

[ what do you get when you put together janos quested and a home search? answer: a very displeased janos quested who doesn't want to be put in one of these homes. he's happy with the brotherhood, thank you very much. all he can seem to do right now is sigh and mutter one word. ]

—... Idiot.

nopain

What the hell do you think you're doing, ugly? Just dragging me around and dropping me in different memes isn't fun. Especially since you've been making me talk to that idiot Soubi. Games or not, he's still dumb.

[ isn't youji supposed to be the mouthy one? geeze. ]

Oi! Shut up! At least do something with me! This is getting boring - worse that when Nagisa-sensei would do those stupid, silent training things. I mean, c'mon — there are loads of interesting places out there, so you could at least get off your lazy ass and go find one for me.

getgoinghero

That's it. I'm done. I quit.

I'm done working for billionaire playboy super-heroes. Done with cleaning up their messes. Done with keeping their father's business alive. Done with having to make sure that last night's torrid affair with a Victoria's Secret model doesn't end up all over this morning's "Daily Seattleite"! I'm not a personal assistant anymore. I'm the damn nanny!

No. No. You do not get to try and get me to forgive Arnold. No. I don't care if we've been friends since fourth grade, or that he's saved me from every super-villian who kidnaps me, or that I promised his dad that'd I'd look out for him!

... Dammit. You couldn't let me finally rip off the bandaid? No, no, no. You're right. As much as Arnold is a pain in the ass, he's my best friend, and he does remember his manners half the time.

I just wish he'd stop being such an ass.

Maybe going to one of these games will be a good vacation. But that's too much to hope for, right?

furrocioushunter

:33 < a game?
:33 < *the feline curls up in a comfurtable purrsition and pawnders it*
:33 < i dont know mun, it could be a lot of fun!
:33 < but i know you pretty well by now and sometimes your idea of fun is not what anyone else would think of ://
:(( < sometimes its really really not fun!
:33 < but if youve made your mind up then you should go fur it!
:33 < i will just worry about it ofur here

secretofmyheart

I wait for Shinichi, because I know that no matter how long it takes, or how busy the suiri otaku is with his case, he will absolutely come home. He's my best friend, so how could I not wait for him?

As far as waiting for you to find a game that you're interested in, mun-san, I suppose I can wait for that, too. So long as you don't take too long.

ctrl_c

Maaaan this place is crowded. Don't get me wrong - I'm thrilled to be outta the headspace. But what's the point if none of my friends are around?

[Calling them "friends" now, huh? And don't you just mean one particular person...?]

Sh-shut up! I mean of course I wanna see her too but- but- agh! You know how bad it is right now so I kinda miss hanging with everyone, okay?!

wouldntbprudent

Wait wait wait, seriously? First Red and Piggy and now this again? Ughhhh, I don't get you, I really don't.

coldharbordaughter

Really, do you think this is such a good idea? I know you think you know what you're doing... but let's be honest, shall we?

We're not that much alike. I'm.... me. You're a bit too bubbly. Even the Dragonborn you first played was more serious than you.

The second one you played is a bit worse. That habit of setting everything on fire. I really don't like the smell of scorched wolf hide in the morning.

[ She winces. ]

The weather in this place is pretty awful. Think we can take this somewhere else?

deductiongeek

Is it really too much to ask for just one game to obey the laws of physics? To not blame everything on something as ridiculous as magic?

Speaking of which, I just want you to know that I have not forgiven you for the Hogwarts incident yet. And the thing with the cats is not likely to improve anything.

I think we have issues.
