Oct. 6th, 2013

Hey... don't get so excited. It was the first basket, we don't know what's going to happen. But, let me just say this... I'll do whatever it takes to win for the team. It's not just about me..

...and one more thing, leave me homeless... I don't really want to go anywhere until we all know what happens.

[ possible spoilers in the comments ]

this_isaturn

I still don't understand why a journal would require a name. It's a journal. It's a book that you write in. Why on earth would one name such a thing?

Still, at least I'll get to have a proper discussion with Helena. Talking to a statue simply isn't the same.

(But did it have to be after the bloody pirates?)

thankyou4myheart

Miss Mundane . . . Mun-san? ...-sama? [How does one address such a person?] Just Mun is all right? Thank you.

Mun, I'm glad that you're able to hear me so easily. [How has he been settling in the headspace? New muse that he is...] Nicely, thank you. The others have been making me feel really welcome. That means a lot to me. [Especially with being separated from Yuuta.]

Listen . . . about that app you've been picking at today. Don't you think you have enough on your plate? Even for a slower game. You just dropped from one as it is. I understand that it was just too active for you anymore, but still...

[He's a little flustered at the fact that the recently-retired avatar is the one pushing the hardest for new-avatar to get his turn and out of the headspace to get to go somewhere.]

I'm flattered by his concern for me, and his eagerness that I get to . . . ah, "spread my wings". But as I keep trying to tell him - is now really the time?

[Mun keeps asking that too . . . but damn, sweetie, you've been far more talkative - and even a little pushy yourself - than you realize.]

loling

So this is what you decided on for me in the end?

Pffffft--

[ ...ahem. ]

It's a bit sudden isn't it? Oh well. It's a nice choice. At the very least it should be fun.

caladcholg

I could say you are being a little too eager about this, but you never seem to listen to me. If we must, I suppose we can do what you call a "voice test". Additionally, mundane, I daresay you become too much at this hour at night.

weedlikeloli

It's not that I'm questioning your your choice, but... are you sure?

[Of course! You'll wear a pretty dress and you'll serve a lot of people, making sure they eat properly and bringing smiles to their faces!]

You really think so?

[Sure! You know what will make them even happier? If you call them 'Master' and 'Mistress'. And make sure to greet them when they visit.]

Okay, I get it now! I'll give my best and start practicing! Thanks mun-san, I knew I could count on you.

[...You're so cute, Shiemi.]

livedieknow

...So mining at night is not as bad as in the sun. I admit, I was wrong. It is enjoyable...

[A pause.]

Enjoyable is not the word. Marginally less traumatic, and marginally less painful than I assumed it would be. Yes. That should suffice. And finding information on ancient settlements I'd only been able to read of before now, through what is found underneath the rock is interesting...

risingshepard

You know, you're gonna run into that problem we had at the enclosure if you go through with this, kid.

Seriously, was sending that teenage Persona User there not enough?

objectofsuspense

Well... This is another fine mess I've been thrust into, I must say.

[A long sigh as he stuffs his hands into the pockets of his dressing gown.]

Any chance of a cup of tea, at least?

prettylacerations

Mun, darling~

I don't know how I feel about you thinking of me whenever you have some kind of personal vendetta against someone of the... female persuasion. You make it seem like I'm this terrible, murderous, and violent person!

In fact, I think after what happened last time, I should probably retire.. ~~And receive extensive therapy~~.

Please reconsider before you cause me to ruin another expensive blouse.

Your dearest, and most beautiful friend,

Madam Red

swapswithjonathan

Mun, how you managed to pull this off is beyond even me. I'm a little impressed, I'll give you that much... but don't go around thinking this is going to be easy or anything! You've got two of us in game now, so you'd better pay close attention, got it?

[ Charlotte huffs, looking mildly irritated, but doesn't comment on it further. It's far too late for that now, anyways. ]

In return, I'll do what I can to protect the people in the city. This place isn't going to be much different from home, after all.

[ She clearly has no idea what she's in for here. ]

bigdaddydragon

( A certain dragon has a few things to say. )

kaijulover

For the thousandth time, dude, I don't love them I study them! There is a big difference. Like, huge, enormous- While I agree that you can't dedicate half of your life and free time, and skipping dates, and research about it if you straight out hate the thing, you know, but I definitely don't love them.

Alright maybe a little. Like, in a scientific oh-my-god-alien-lifeform way. Got me? Who wouldn't be excited about that, right?!

Also, what you're doing now, here and now? While I'm all up for studying on the job and gaining experience firsthand and all those cool things, I still think this is a damn suicide run! You haven't even finished reviewing my canon, dude, what the hell! I demand to get checked very thoroughly and carefully before you do something rash like this, okay?!

hotleafjuice

You know, mun, at my time of life, it is usually nice to be left alone with my own thoughts. I do not mean that your offer is unappreciated. There are so many wrongs to right, and fascinating strangers to have tea with! Perhaps there is no life that has seen enough adventures, after all, and I would never wish to be rude. But I hope you take some care about where you send me. I'm an old man, you know!

gaggles

Listen. I know that...That you have your wishes for me and that other boy...But don't you think it's inappropriate and unbecoming for a knight of Altea to, I don't know, air out dirty laundry in public like that? What would Prince Marth think if he knew that you were intent on having everyone see that sort of thing?
...P-plus I don't like your implication that I'm inexperienced at things! Even if I am, it's none of your business what I do with my private life or what happens in my chambers at any time of the day, or who I choose to--

[hands in the air] The point is that it's none of your business! So I'll kindly thank you to leave me and that poor kid alone for this sort of rubbish. I won't let you talk about 'adolescent inexperience' and us in the same sentence.

And I still resent this username.

catchings

...It's nice to meet you too, Mun! I hope we'll have a good time together!

[a grin]

Oh, and hey, do you have an idea of what Mew looks like? I've been meaning to search for it for a while, but dang... no luck so far.

dependentdevil

Haa? You want to do what? Forget it, that sounds so boring.

Ever thought the reason I never showed up for a while is because your ideas kinda suck? I'm not doing anything without Kaoru anyway.

taking_action

Oh mun,

I appreciate this, I really do, but don't you think you should concentrate on what you have first? Especially with the holidays coming and all, you know you are going to be incredibly busy. Besides, you just brought in someone new, shouldn't you wait until a few months at least?

I'm not planning on going anywhere, after all. We've been together this long, I have no desire to leave just yet. Just remember this place and I'll be here.

strongerthangravity

Chi-ke?

[A small squirrel, fur colored red, scampers around the area. She's cautious of course, but at the same time very curious about this new place. What was going on? Where was she? Was that boy around here by chance? Who would she meet?]

arche

And like always, you keep crawling back to good ol' Arche. You're lucky I'm such a, kind, sweet and benevolent muse, otherwise I might be madder about you ditching me for as long as you did. It just means you've got some serious butt-kissing to do.

I'll accept gifts of jewels, chocolates and other riches as penance. Also, call me "queen".

burn_all_the_babies

Yo. Vault hunter, vault hunter yo. Vault hunter! Vault huuuunnnntterrrr ! HEY YO VAULT HUNTER WORD UP MY GURL!!

drcmarcus

I'm sorry, I need a moment to process this.

A child? I find that incredibly hard to believe. I know myself. I wouldn't be so foolish as to allow for a mistake like that and Starfleet contraceptive implants are incredibly effective. Not to mention that Jim... I can't see Jim... it's just too much to wrap my mind around. Which is exactly why I presume it was a mistake and certainly not something that was planned by any means. Never mind the total lack of a sexual relationship.

Not that Jim isn't a wonderful man. I just can't picture him as someone interested in the idea of children. Or settling down with one woman long enough for that to even be a topic of conversation. It couldn't end any way but badly. In fact it did end badly. One could argue that it started badly seeing as that other version of... of me didn't even tell the boy who his father was. I find that incredibly cruel and don't like in the least what it says about me or my character.

Horrible life choices aside, none of that really matters. The circumstances there were completely different so I don't see why you felt the need to share that bit of information. I was perfectly fine not knowing. Ignorance is bliss. As it is I don't think I'll be able to look the Captain in the eye for quite some time without feeling the need to apologize for something that hasn't even happened.

You are a cruel mun and I am appalled by your lack of decency in this matter. I believe a stiff drink is in order.

ditchedbabe

I'll have you know I was actually totally fine with being ditched, mun. Like, I didn't even care because it's not like all my friends were having fun without me and I missed Julie or Foxy or even, I can't believe I'm saying this that weirdo Chuck.

Nope! I was fine all by myself, not lonely at all. Or bored. Or seriously depressed because I missed a KaneCo sale while you were off doing whatever weird, gross stuff you do.

schrodingersghost

[Danny is not amused.]

Oh, sure. Let the ghost kid go to a horror game! It'll be fun! He'll make friends!

[He snorts bitterly.]

Nothing could possibly go wrong with that plan.

Are you insane? Have you seen how many ghost hunters are running around that place?

oguna

Why would I want anyone of them here? Having only Izumo around will be too much, I don't need the rest around, no matter how much you want them around.

I can manage better on my own.

tofu_idol

You know, I should probably be saying something here about biting off more than you can chew but actually...it'll be nice to be somewhere that isn't so hard to live in all the time. Don't get me wrong, I know you love Ariel and I can't say it's all been bad for me either but it starts to wear on you after a while. Especially after some of the things you have planned for me. So having something else to balance that...I think it'll do us both good.

And hey, this time I'll have Yu-senpai there and maybe Kanji and Naoto-kun too. And I know I'm not supposed to wish for them to come to Ariel but I still miss them all so this works out better for all of us even if I'll be from the future for all of them.

Don't worry about the tracking thing, either. You've gotten a lot better at that in all the time I've been up here. We'll make this work, I know we will.

general_pitchiner

So he'll leave this 'Nautilus' for an entire week? Time reverts backwards for him, and he turns back into me. Is that how it's going to be?

[He shakes his head.]

That man is not me. He will come to acknowledge that in time. If he isn't me, then what is he? He may have my body, but that is not me.

I have no pity for that thing, and I never will. You are showing these people a glimpse of what he never was.

You sicken me, mun.

merlentless

... Ohhhh dear, I can already tell we're not going to get along very well. We all have to start somewhere, but this is a little outside my comfort zone. You can't work privately first? My brother and I both could do with some one-on-one. There's... still so... are you even listening?

Okay, ill-advised decisions aside, thank you for the opportunity. It looks like I have a real mess in front of me, but -- not to sound cliche, but someone has to do it. All I want in return is time with Tamsin. I want her to know she's loved, most of all. Aaah, that sounds so corny, but -- imagine if we fought before she went to work. -- Oh. Oh, nonono, no, never mind, stop imagining it. Forget I said anything. Shit!

Look -- look, if you can't do that, at least make sure Kes get out of this okay. And... still himself. Please. I can't lose both of them.

Merle

lostcrystal

Do it.

[But-]

Just do it.

[Come on, I-]

No! I am sick to death of listening to you make excuses. It's been a week now, and enough is enough. I don't care if you're frightened, I don't care if you think the timing is all wrong. Just this once, you can work. With. It.

I won't just let you throw this away like you have so many other times.

asthedrivensnow

Mademoiselle Mundane,

Of all the idiocy I've borne witness to, this one takes the cheesecake. Hush, I like cheesecake. Honestly, killing me? Now? There are very important birthdays in less than one month, and you choose now to have me make friends with a psychopath (whose story you know) with a view to being a victim. A Muggle psychopath, no less. ~~Don't start. I'm willing to overlook it in some people.~~

I'd like to recommend you seek help, but I fear you might be beyond it.

And for Merlin's sake - do not give me that gaff about already having experience - everybody knows Bella is like that. This one hides it. No one is going to see it coming, and no one will be able to stop it. You are going regret your course of action, because I've a sinking feeling I'm going to suffer horribly through this. When I get to say "I told you so"? You're just going to have to sit there and take it.

havinghope

I don't know what to say! Why are you interested in me? I...I don't mean to be rude, but...

I'm sure my brother's story is much more interesting! He went into the Abyss, you know. I wonder what he saw...

black_panther

So you think this is going to get you off the hook, huh? Yeah, yeah I'm glad to hear that Omoi's possibly coming to this hellhole so I don't have to deal with the idiocy of Konoha and Suna shinobi, especially the dangerous one and the shithead that slit my throat if you remember that.

You know, the thing causing me to avoid going outside in case he's still crazy. You had me die.

No amount of sucking up is going to fix all of these problems, not even the demonstration sword fighting or dealing with another Suna shinobi.

Fix it or just admit it's broken.

most_qualified

Mun,

Guess it's back to the drawing board, isn't it?

polyturtle

I've told you. I've told you repeatedly and you don't seem to believe me. And then you're surprised when I pick up that weapon.

What's done is done. There is no going back. Nothing and no one can change what I am now. What I've always been meant to be. I just never realized it until recently.

I'll only tell you one more time, mun. From here in out, its on you if sonething bad happens.

Stay out of my way.

frenchforenglish

Do not have fear, mundane! Although there are already many mes, I am certain you will do a fine job! Please, have faith for I have gratuitous amounts of faith in you and your ability to manipulate me like a tiny wooden replica of me!

[Shouldn't you be complaining? Or telling me I suck?]

Hm? I do not believe you preform the sucking motion, mundane and I see no reason to complain when I am meeting a new friend. Let us join hands and recite poems of friendship, for this is a day to celebrate our joining as one beautiful hivemind.

I shall fetch the garlands of traditional Tamaran flowers and friendship beads. Please await my return!

cordials

...Wesley? You're missing Wesley, of all people? I mean, sure he's missable but he's... well, Wesley.

mamaterasu

[Giving a massive yawn, the white wolf eyes her mun with a bit of annoyance. Really, Mun, really? She was actually enjoying the time off in your headspace! Catching up on some well-needed sleep wasn't the easiest thing in the world to do back on Nippon you know! It was always "save that place" or "kill that demon" or--

Huh? With a a prick of her ears, Ammy lifts her head up. Something about a game? Another one? A new one, you mean... With horrors and the like, yadda yadda nothing Ammy can't handle. She licks her chops absently and lays her head back down between her paws, rolling her eyes. Honestly, waking her up and dragging her out here just for something like that! You know she really doesn't care much for what you do, so long as there's food and a comfy place to stay. Oh, and a few nice looking lad--

...

. . .

Oh, that gets her attention! The nice pirate lady with a chest that make even the Busty Babe weep with envy. Ohoho, you've gotten her attention, mun! Sign Ammy up for any place she's at, yupyup. Though the not remembering thing's gonna suck...but eh, meeting and re-meeting people is always nice. You know already that's a big thing she likes to do. So if you can handle it, go for it. This sun goddess won't exactly stop you (she is far too lazy). And if this game's got "horrors" like you say, all the more incentive to send her over, right? She can handle it if you can, lady.

Now buzz off so she can nap a bit while you look the game up more. |D]

wildcardpotential

I'm very glad he's finally taken form for you. With all the 'headcanons' and things you keep attributing to me, it was getting lonely without him.

However I have to say I am less than happy about this very different alternate-me that has also taken root here. It seems very cruel of you to do that, though I understand you have your reasons.

[I'm sorry, you know I am. It's... complicated.]

It usually is.

Still, I have to say I'm very uncomfortable with your plans in Avalar, regarding a certain role-swapped protagonist. There is certainly a few outcomes to this I prefer over others. I expect you'll take that into account. I don't want this relationship to be strained and neither do you.

staysinmexico

NO

Just watching clips on YouTube isn't enough.

Suck it up. Go get the DVDs. Watch the entire run of my Rich White People Problems show. Think of the shenanigans. And the sex. My sex life is relying on your buying the DVDs. I need it. I need it, come on!

...........OH COME ON my show is considered "OBSCURE" now? Bull. It doesn't matter if it premiered a decade ago it's still amazing damn it.

allthebrightlights

So, you're seriously looking at games for me now. You really want to put me in that wing-a-ding game because you think it would be nice.

But you're also looking at some hellish apartments. How about neither? I have class and all-

I am actually planning on attending class. Promise.

invigor

Well, congratulations. It took you this long to go and finish up this "journal" for me, but now here it is. Good to know I'm on the top of your priority list, miss.

[That was sarcasm, but it's alright -- he definitely doesn't want to be the priority of any mundane. It usually means bad things.]

So, was there a plan to all of this or is it one of your fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants moments?

[...]

Thought so.

believersheart

Well... at least they know how games are played, now. Let's hope they'll be able to keep up later on.

fangool

Tick tock. Y'know that sound real good, babydoll, you sure you even wanna try this? Y'know you gotta work up the might t'even ask if I'm even allowed.

Sure would be fan-fuckin'-tastic to see the little sparkplug, though.

treun

You - you! Oi, of course I'm talkin' to you. Who d'you think you are? You think you can just pick me up like I'm some sort 'ae play thing? I don't think so! I'm no some doll or some sort 'ae puppet on strings.

Ugh! Can you no just ... reconsider this? No, I suppose you won't. Typical! Doesnae matter what Merida thinks.

I'm no sulkin', you're just insufferable.

jujubes

I understand that you can get attached to a character, and you pour all your time into them and then you forget about them. I do that all the time. Cycling through characters is what I do best to keep readers interested, but I really didn't think it would happen to me. A-and honestly, I'd rather it not, if we're asking me. [He's pretty sure you're not though. Great.]

Not that I don't appreciate the effort, but really, who are we kidding? You're playing in games, and here I am on the side, just a face you unearthed, created years ago in creative writing class for your portfolio. Trust me, give it a week and I'll be old news again. Focus on work and focus on your games.

Work hard and it'll pay off. Dicking around doesn't get you anywhere, promise.

dramaticals

[the man heaves a sigh, he brings a hand up to his mask and adjusts it.]

Do you expect me to run my mouth and ask the same old questions...?

[blah blah blah mundane why are you even bring me out and all that.]

Well, I won't. I'll do things my own way.

badplan

You really have no idea what you're doing, do you?

... Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'll take care of it, alright? I was gonna get out-- eventually, anyway. Stop fighting it and let me do my thing.

3d2y

Hey, hey! No more complaining, you guys. It's someone's birthday today, you know! [ And the only reason he knows is the fact that his mun told him. ]

TRAFFY! WHERE ARE YOU?! You should have told me it was coming.

[ Throwing his arms into the air, he makes a big exclamation. ]

WE NEED TO THROW A PARTY!!!

[ A bread-less party!! ]

Some of you -- and some of the 'me's around here -- don't know him well, but he's a really great guy. That's why we need to break out the meat and celebrate!!

inhernest

Okay, so, you like the new meme place, why not oh, I don't know, actually post some people there?

Why aren't you? Because of a couple cowards who won't say to your face that they don't like how you play people, myself included? Why are you letting them dictate how you have fun? You aren't hurting anybody, and besides, we both know that they've got you confused with someone else half the time anyway. Nobody checks their fucking facts.

Go on, head over there, throw some of us down wherever you want and go for it, and remember what I say about anybody trying to tell you how to do things: Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

iamthebest

Elbowed, nothing! I have as natural a talent for attracting fans as I do for battling Pokemon, it's just surprising you didn't make this journal for me sooner.

Long as everything back home will be okay, I'm sure Gramps and the rest of my adoring public won't mind if I take a little break from winning battle after battle for a while. I know I make it look easy, but it's actually a lot of work being the best, you know. And I DO get to have my Pokemon, right?

[Uh, Gary, you get them back eventually but not right off the ba - ]

Great. So what's the hold up? A writer having trouble with the writing part of the application? Pathetic! I bet if you let me handle it I'd do it even better than you could!

Yeah, applications don't open for a while and you're gonna be busy with that NaNo-whatever. But if you really wanna play me then you might wanna make up your mind soon, because I don't hang out with losers. And anyone who's anyone knows that indecisive is just another nice word for loser.

[Canon point is before he lost in the Indigo League and thus got knocked down a few pegs. Meaning he is going to be a major dick and I am sorry for him in advance. :IIII ]

wantsthesun

Oh fuck yeah that feels good.

It feels good when one is able to stretch ones legs again my dear bloodbag. Your headspace is so fucking cramped back there...not even the pit Northman buried me in was that bad!

Ok slight exaggeration there but...details details.

Anyway jump to it...find me somewhere I can strut my stuff again. Somewhere with a lot of new dinner partners, and not a fucking Stackhouse or blonde viking in sight.

snowpointvictor

So you lost it the app. Instead of maybe cooling with the apps for now, you decided to throw me or this Bethany Hawke girl into a 'horror game'. I thought you hated horror mun?

[Well yeah.]

Then stop thinking of ways to make my life difficult! Sabrina would be more effective there! Or Maylene! But no, you want to send someone who isn't focused on battling. If I die, or someone close to me does I'm blaming you.

Current Mood: shocked

I think we have issues.
