Dec. 2nd, 2013

I just don't get it, Mun! I try to be charming but no matter what I do all I get is a fire spell to the face!

...Ah well, guess this Octopus just ain't cut out for monogamous relationships.

underate

[ As politely as is possible under the circumstances: ] I'll be honest with you — this seems premature, but I'm starting to get the feeling that that's how you tend to do things.

bringsgladtidings

Well, this is a momentous occasion. The past has come to pay me a little visit, and here I thought I was going to remain forgotten. Like the rest of your little toys. But don't worry about me, I won't hold a grudge over that. After all, it's nothing more than others far worse than you have done.

Although -- I wonder if the rest of your collection feel that way. Shall we ask them? I wonder what they would do if they knew you were eventually going to cast them all aside and forget about them. Don't you think they deserve to know the truth about playing your games? I do.

Oh, yes. It's nice to see you again.

skeptical

I can't imagine that this is the best possible use of your time. I know that it isn't the best use of mine.

thedefinitionof_insanity

You know hermana, I really thought - you and me? - we had a good thing going here.

But now? Now, I don't think so...now I think you're wasting my fucking time, and I know YOU KNOW, how much I hate having my time wasted.

But, you know, I look at all the little things you've been doing...all your school work, your little drawings, playing my game again, and I think to myself, maybe I'll give you another chance, eh? Maybe I'll be nice, maybe I'm in a good fucking mood.

Maybe I'll give you another chance to open up the game you were promising me, letting me go back to my island...who knows?

daughteroftheforest

You have made purchase of the means by which you shall at last see the next part of the story, and will finally be able to get a more full and fleshed out understanding of who I am. You've held onto me for such a very long time and have been surprisingly patient for a daughter of Man.

I think your fretting that those who already enjoy others of Middle Earth in this venue will not welcome me is for naught. I know there are yet some who feel my presence is not necessary for a variety of reasons; pay them no heed. Enjoy the company of those who welcome both of us - even if their welcome comes in the form of conveying their disdain for my race (dwarves can be such prickly creatures, can they not?), and disregard those who find fault in my presence.

technopathmicah

Now? You've decided to bring me out now?

And not even a young version of me, an older version that no one is ever going to recognize. And you're trying to tell me I have to keep my ability...I mean, what I can do to myself? I think you remember I've tried that before a couple of times but it's never stuck. I should be using it to help people, people who really need my help.

[A pause] I don't care what you say, you can't stop me.

santaclaws

Hello and welcome to the Monokuma Theater Winter Special! Take a seat but make sure to bring it back and hold the applause, you bastards!

[No need to applaud even if you wanted to; some terribly low quality sound effects are providing all the claps this Santa Claws needs.]

Ahem...! My second favourite holiday tradition is sitting on Santa's lap and asking for presents. I never had much chance to do it in my youth because the mall security seemed against the idea of letting a ferociously handsome bear such as myself approach a man with a beard but, you know, they didn't have to protect me that way. Why? Upupu... it's because I'm a bear. It's health and safety gone mad, I tells you.

But in order to live up to my childhood dreams - and because I want to laugh at your greed - come and tell Monokuma what you want him to give you for Christmas. Start an orderly queue, fight tooth and nail to the front or wait around like a shy wallflower!

Our story of my crushed hopes and your chance to sate your lust for possessions concludes today's Monokuma Pantomime!

limitstorm

Quit singing that song at me.

People're counting on me to be in control of myself. I'm not letting them down again.

lightning_lad

So you want to try this again, huh?

Okay, I'm game. Just know that I might have to shock you if I get bored this time.

fukkinawesome

Whoopdee goddamn doo you put me in a dressing room. Yeah how long have you had that app open on your shitty Word knockoff? A week? Get fuckin' moving.

[I want to see more robots!

I want a burrito!]

I want a pony, sometimes we don't get what we want.

Also, Rodimus, baby, call me. I know you're single, I read your comic. We can do dinner or something.

darkoak

So, you want to delve into my dark side, do you? I'm not sure you'll like what you find, but the journey should certainly prove to be interesting. I'm not some meek little English teacher. That's just the persona I put on to cover my tracks. If a certain cowardly werewolf hadn't slashed my throat out, I could have had some more fun. I could have had my vengeance on Deucalion, but I suppose I'll have to settle for killing Kali.

Oh don't give me that look. She deserved every single shard of glass I embedded in her for what she did to me.

rotwood_reaper

When I say I want you to put me back in there, I don't mean during an event where I'll believe I'm other characters voiced by the actresses who've played me. Particularly given how few of them you have any real familiarity with. If you're trying to make that Battle Royale knockoff look enticing, it's starting to work.

Current Mood: annoyed

wasblonde

Of course I agree.

( here be spoilers )

mortuaria

I have a better idea: how about no.

worthmeltingfor

( you know the drill )

bothfoulandfair

No.

I know you think you mean well, but this isn't a good idea. Locking me away with other people won't help fix anything, it's just going to make it worse.

Just leave me be. [And almost as an afterthought, in a much quieter voice:] Please.

awhitecrow

Of all the places, ma'am, that is what you choose? To drag me back to sea and endanger those around me?

God help me, I cannot oppose you. I wish you'd reconsider this rashness, though.

thelastbecket

I think I deserve a bit of time off, don't you?

No? Then at least try to stick to the games without monsters.

It would be great if you would give me a break and let me make it to my birthday in peace.

thelizard

So, you find out that the Queen of Hearts is indeed turning up on the show and so...you bring me out?

You are weird, mundane. Very weird. Actually, you'd fit in quite well in Wonderland!

bigfleet

Grife! About time you let me out. Do you know how long it's been?

It's stuffy in there, and those other guys aren't very friendly at all.

[ Now that Bart's out, he addresses his first concern. ]

So, is it Christmas yet ...?

sunshineandpinecones

Hello again, Mun. I just wanted to tell you that I'm so happy for you, having a lot of fun in your roleplaying lately. It's really inspiring! [Despite being thrown into danger in her game and almost getting her killed...] B-But I see you're still putting up reserves and apping more people, and you still have so much work to do in real life. Are you sure you're not overdoing it?

Taking a small break for at least a day or so to focus on your studies sounds like a good idea. After all, you're taking that certification test this week, aren't you? It's really important, and I can't let you work yourself to death when you have so much going for you. I'm happy to be near Apollo and the others, but don't feel like you have to put me everywhere to have something to do. You're already starting to struggle with tags and I... I hate to see that, Mun. I want you to continue having fun, but you know your studies are super important.

So, please consider slowing down a little and focusing on your studies a bit more, at least for this week. I will still be here and the others will still be there. We aren't going to leave you behind. And consider only apping that troll girl if you really feel that you'll have time to keep up with her as well as the rest of your RPing. Okay?

You can do it! Just prioritize yourself and you will be absolutely fine.

notmonsters

Maybe Leader was right.
People will use my family against me. What's the point of pretending not to be a monster when all I get for it is my friends gettin' hurt?
Everywhere I go, people get hurt.

Just leave Hulk alone.

blaster_es_master_es

Mun... mun! What's the big idea with that app you've been making!?! Just spell the machine's name right already! It's "Blaster"! B-L-A-S-T-E-R! You going to mess up the phrase "DM Buster" too while you're at it? I worked hard to get that title, that status! And don't act like you're doing me a bunch of favors with this revised plot you've been working on either-

-No, don't go and start working on that detective's app, I'm still talking here!

Muuun... MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!

[Incidentally, any Crows/Crowes would be love.]

kungfool

So is this gonna be like, a thing we're doing? I mean, I don't have a problem with it or anything, but I kinda work on a training schedule...

Dragon Warrior stuff. You know. Prior commitments I'm. Uh. Committed to.

Protecting China? Furious Five? Super awesome important stuff that has a lot of capital letters? Actually- man, that really is a lot of capital letters. Oh, and mystical ancient names and legends! It's sort of a thing I do now, no big deal. And this roleplaying stuff?

Just a totally awesome super cool radical deal! Someone thinks I'm cool enough to pretend to be me! I have a TV series!

-- I don't know what that is, but I bet it's awesome! Like- oh my gosh, I probably get to go on all these really epic journeys, and meet kung-fu legends, and- and maybe there are tons more action figures! Of me! Why are you not watching that right now?

kaaa

[ Because this guy certainly isn't. There is a moment of silence, and of course, no noise coming from the said muse over here. None at all. Primarily because he doesn't even speak an understandable language to start. Because seriously. Why is there so much excitement radiating when this particular guy doesn't even talk! ]

...Ka.

[ And any attempt of pulling said god out of his hiding spot will result in a lot of scratches or minor injuries for said mun. But the action is done anyway. Anubis doesn't like being manhandled! ]

SHAAAA---!!!! [ And it sets off. Ouch. ]

feminine_carnivore

Can't you just pick a normal game for me to go?! It's always humiliating wherever you take me!

[ Chie calm down, it's not that bad. You can make lots of friends. Maybe. ]

I have plenty of friends in Inaba, I get to see Yukiko and everyone else all the time! Why would I want to go to New York City? I don't even speak English. How do you expect me to figure out how to get around there?

[ I live there Chie, it's not that bad. You just-- ]

No way, I'm not going! I have to protect my hometown and take the Police Cadet exam!

[ But they have some of the best steak restaurants in the world here. ]

Steak! When do we leave?!

swanson

[ . . . ]

No.

icytouch

( yep, you got it - cut for potential spoilers )

mapsincolor

Oh! This sounds like fun!

And even if no one wants to talk to me, I have plenty to read!

[Pats her knapsack full of The Quibbler copies, hot off the press.]

Do you think anyone would like a copy?

Current Mood: amused

whiskytraitorfirefight

[A roll of her eyes and a handwritten letter.]

'Mun,

I know you hate waiting, but applications will be processed in time. It's only been a day, there are still several more days before applications close. People are busy. People have their own lives.

I should also remind your eagerness does not extend to me. I had my ending. I don't need a new beginning. I did my job.

And I most certainly do not need a pair of wings.

G. Solana'

choseneutrality

I am to be a substitute while you wait for more information on the person of your current fixation?

[Flynn, substitute is kinda harsh. I do like you too.]

You have a strange way of expressing your affections if that's the case.

smallesthacker

Really? It's between me and Knock Out of all the muses in your head? You've seen what he's done. And most importantly, he's a Decepticon.

Sometimes I wonder if you're as crazy as them.

But the game you have in mind has some familiar faces! That's always good. I mean, I wouldn't be going in alone. I know Bee won't be there, but. I can manage. And hey, if we do get in, maybe he'll come by later! That's always a possibility, right?

For now, take it easy. You have all week to decide. Plus that test drive is coming up! Plenty of time.

wizardofharmony

Previous complaints retracted. I am not too proud to say I was wrong. Zetta alone was worth it, to say nothing of the Pinkies.

thejackdaw

Of all the deserted islands I could've landed, you pick the one stranded in the middle of nowhere loaded with a bunch of corkers running amuck. You've got some nerve lad, I'll give you that.

But jaysus at least give a man a pint to cope. Anyone a spare tankard and some rum for this pirate with no crew nor ship?

died_a_virgin

Mun,

You know that it would be a bad idea to have Master in this place. He would tear it apart after a few days.

I know I miss him, Sir Integra, and Captain Bernadotte. Stop bothering me about it.

nyc_merlin

Dear Mun,

Thank you for having standards. I know you feel guilty ignoring tags but a bunch of us appreciate you being picky.

Yes, it's a struggle to get tags of Original Character in the first place but the canon muses are tired of bad tags too! You shouldn't lower yourself to one sentence tags with no descriptive action and little character development simply because yay! we got a tag.

If you want to find a great relationship for me, and everyone else riding around in that brain of yours, you've got to wait for the good tags.

Hang in there, mun. One day, you'll find what you're looking for.

wisper

The Christmas season is nice, I'll admit, but no, I don't celebrate. Some of us do, as a more recent way to blend - and for the parties - but, ah... I guess I'm a little old school. Tell you what, though, I've come around to Boxing Day sales a little more in recent years. It seems like people will buy anything if it's marked on sale.

Oh. And thank you. You made it through without the -- mess, and I really appreciate it.

Findlay

aggressiveapathy

God, just shut up already. It's just me here and it'll be just me in Narnia Hell or Orphan Murder Ville or whatever the machine throws us at next. So the apps are closing soon for a couple months or a million years or something. It's not like it matters. Ron and Leslie are too smart and Andy too beautiful and everyone else too dumb to end up here, anyway.

kittysdragon

How come 'ragons are always the baddies, Mun? Yeh play that fantasy game, baddies flaming up 'ragonborn types.. Yeh see those 'ovies, baddie in the 'ave with all 'hat gold. Po'ems, baddies, stories, baddies... in fact only nice dragon Heed knows who isn't Heed is also small an' purple. Except he has fancy game series with Sky Land whatevers and Heed doesn't. Heed deserves movie! Deserves video game! Start makin' 'ragons not baddies and who save th' day instead cause yeh 'umans seriously 'eed savin'.

Also yeh gonna find Heed a game or what? Yeh found some 'riends, right? Even Kittys. So stop wastin time with that Cyber Mon thingie and all yeh wasting money and start with Heed already, huh? 'aybe that hero place they 'ave with Capes and Cowls and whatever.

Current Mood: irritated

gunbunny

Really, love. No need to act so surprised. Naturally the critics were a tad bit harsh on our latest little get together- those who can't do always are. The point is I enjoyed myself, and really that's all that matters in the end, isn't it?

Now, if you've a mind to find me some new bit of work, I won't complain. There's little worse than just sitting on my hands when there's action to be had. Just be quick about it.

jack_theripper

So, what now? Is this it? You wish to "play" me into one of these games? Tch. I know I was born to kill but I am no puppet. I've dealt enough in my life to go through any of that shit again.

My blade will justify any course of action I take. I am not the same man I used to be, you know that. Allow me some slack, will you?

sageofthewind

Mun, I know it has been several years since you have last done this. Please, do not feel that you need to put me in a game!

[He fidgets in place and jingles a little, feeling just as nervous as his mun.]

Perhaps sometime we may be able to play together again, as we once did. You and I can be brave! I know it!

F-for now, however, please believe that I am content to stay where I am and think of new melodies.

antes

Completely objectively, I'm gonna call this outing abortive at best.

Wake me up when it's over, or when, you know, you eat your hat after losing whatever bet you made that you wouldn't do this.

hermitofkamui

...I'd rather not...

...

...I like it up on Mt. Ezofuji...

Uuu...I'd prefer it if you left me alone.

--Itegami

f_luke

My, my, I'm quite honored to be the first muse you've decided to play in what seems to be a long time. But what's this about being late with my application, hmm? You're going to have to work harder if you want to be successful in life, even with diminutive tasks like this.

I think we have issues.
