Dearest Mundane:

Let's not. I mean, it's not like you can actually keep me in any game for any length of time, we've already figured that out. And you want to transform me into a talking pony? That's ridiculous! If I wanted to eat hay I'd try out that new all-fibre diet that's all the rage. Or worse: become a vegetarian. Unless I already am a vegetarian.

You need to do some canon review young lady.

[Hey man it's been years.]

But in the end I guess I don't care that much just as long as I can get my ridiculously and pointlessly expensive fancy coffee. Oh, and a spa, they'd better have that there too.

Anyway, unlike some of us, I have a job to get back to.

Love

Cupid <3

While it's wonderful that you've begun the next chapter of my history without too much fuss, you shouldn't fret about any other histories.

Honestly, you put too much thought into worldbuilding. Trying to rectify my world with yours is absurd. Yes, yes, the moon landing was on the same date and year, and yes it was within recent history, but our society is in many other ways far more advanced than yours. Do you find it surprising that events that played out a mere three hundred years ago for you occurred three thousand years ago for us?

Besides, I've been to the Parfum Palace. Your...what did you call it again, Versailles? can't possibly compare, even if it is more recent.

You let far too much affect you. Try and emulate me. You'll be far more relaxed.

...Oh now that laughter is just rude.

heroiclineage

So... a mere mortal like yourself summons the great Owain from the lands of legendary lore?

[ This was supposed to be a joke, mundane says. Instead now he has an Owain muse. Why this... ]

I see... the souls of many heroes and heroines of untold stories and tales reside within you! You are no ordinary mortal, are you not? To have transcended the planes of reality herself to call for one such as myself--! My blood burns in heroic fervor! I can feel my true power being drawn forth! Come, mundane! We must--

...wait, you don't have any plans for me yet? Not until you've finished studying our grand tales?

[ Blink. Well, there goes his act. Oops. ]

. . . NO MATTER! Your lack of plans shouldn't stop you! There are still many lands in this... roleplay landscape? That beckon to us, like siren calls for heroes of old, whose dirt and rocks breathe memories of battles, wars and memories of ages past...

... okay, that... might have been too dramatic.

BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS! Banish your insecurities to the deepest fires of whatever hell they spawned from, for they hold no power over you now! Onward, mundane! What need do we have for idle talk when the world herself beckons?! Come! Let us extend our legacy into the whole of the multiverse, together--!

[ A pause. ]

We should probably work on your name first, though... "mundane" is too boring! We must think of a new title befitting of a grandiose, omniscient presence as yourself!

... how about "The All-Seeing Vanguard Scribe of Legend?" By the gods, that would be quite catchy...

[ . . . OWAIN PLZ ]

hasnomentor

Hey mundano!

New icons aren't going to make me forget what you've got going on!

Well yeah they look good but that isn't the point.

Suéltame-mode en algún momento pronto, ¿de acuerdo? I don't want to be stuck that way forever. Just get it over with. Yeah, I'm not going to like it but the sooner it starts the sooner it ends.

...And don't make the Scarab have me stand around like Peter Pan, alright? It's stupid and embarrassing.

thebattlefield

Should you finish the book before doing this? You might not even like me in the end.

shadowsgambit

Really?

[She seems genuinely baffled.]

I guess you're serious, Mun. So, where am I going?

...You still don't know? Null sweat. I can wait. You have to pick carefully, anyway, so don't rush.

moonguided

So uh, that cat you've got. The grey one? She kind of reminds me of somebody.

[I wonder who. Got a description of this mystery person?]

Oh, about yea-big, wears bracelets, has an affinity for pastels. Often gives me that same look of total disdain that the cat tends to give you.

[What about the tiny, solid black one, Jack? You know, the one with the little red-capped claws and the skull and crossbones collar?]

...yeah, I'd keep an eye on that one. Just in case.

not_speedy

...You Bitch .

When I said I was ready for you to let me back out of hiding, I didn't mean you could do THAT. There's something seriously wrong in your head that you're enjoying my treatment as a LAB RAT.

Can't I just do something low key to restart?

...Okay so keeping that in mind, the camp idea sounds good. Potentially good. It'd be nice to be not the dollartree knockoff at all and the demigod thing, well, just another parental figure to resent, right? And a Kaldur.

It's...worth thinking over.

-Roy

sugardrunk

So lemme get this straight. You just spent like... 'half an hour, maybe, photoshopping Kool-aid stains onto my icons, just so this guy would look more like me?

...This may be the start of a beautiful run together, my friend. Either that or you're related to Terminus, and I should really be scared of you.

losingdeadweight

Just couldn't hold back, could ya, mun?

[Chuckles.]

Don't know about you, but I'm ready to take down some criminal scum.

And I can name three off the top of my head...

banichan

How could you?

Why did you do this to me? You haven't even fully canon-reviewed in months.

Muns shouldn't make split-second decisions like this.

believesinpan

No.

Just. No.

((Possibly spoilers for Save Henry in comments))

Current Mood: annoyed

divorcenumberthree

I thought I told you to never come in here when I'm pushing sharks in my underwear...

GET OUTTA HERE!

thelongestday

Why exactly would you decide to dust me off? Look, I'm not into playing these sick, twisted games you play. Just let me have some sort of peace. I know canon doesn't allow for it, but it's over.

What do you mean they are bringing it back?! I'm too old for these long ass days.

sexysunglassess

It's fun that the house was fixed by some other Hyuuga, isn't it! But the name "the Hawk Nest" is a great name and it's for Aya-tan and the Black Hawks' sake I'm getting a house with many rooms in the first place! It'll be fun!

Let's go build out the kitche~n!

givemelee

Take hold of your senses, iakón:kwe. There is nothing to be gained by my traveling to a land so far away from my people.

[He held out his arms to either side beseechingly asking for his mun to reconsider this decision. There was a strength in his voice that suggested he would not be backing away from this subject anytime soon.]

I can not simply leave things as they are. You heard Oiá:ner's words just as clearly as I did. I'm the only hope left for that place. I'm the only one that even stands a chance at removing Washington from his throne.

[Ratonhnhaké:ton had partaken of the Red Willow tea at least three times already, and the power was beginning to take it's toll on his concept of his own self importance. Although he was aware of the risks involved with undergoing the Sky World journeys he would stop at nothing to end the reign of oppression and tyranny that had blanketed the land]

So what if he is there? It makes no difference. I bet he's every bit as stubborn as he has always been.

[Despite what he said Ratonhnhaké:ton avoided that subject as much as possible. ~~Perhaps it might be possible to change history. Wasn't he witnessing a drastic change already? Would it ever be possible to help open his father's eyes to the flaws in his ways of thinking?~~]

heartisabattleground

Hey, mun, you don't have to be sad. Everything will work out in the end, you'll see.

[Even Sora can't stay angry forever at his mun. After all, the guy is lying in a puddle of feels at the moment.]

I'll make sure to save them, don't worry. You just gotta believe, that's all.

bargain

[ Tessa's good mood floats in front of her like the smoke dissipating from the cigarette in her hand. ]

Is this a good enough look for you? I could give you more if you ask me. I dare you.

mylifeisice

Well, I'm just glad you didn't go with that first name. I do not talk to myself. I talk for Sven and Sven talks through me - there is a difference, you know. But this is good, I can live with this. I know you chose that name the second I said it to Anna. Where is she, by the way? I thought you promised I'd run into at least one Anna. I still don't get how there could possibly be more than one of her, but this is the first time you've let me out of your head. Just get me some ice, find me Sven, Anna, and my family, and I'll be good.

Okay, okay - I wouldn't mind getting to know Elsa better.

Fine. Olaf, too.

Oh. Sven's in your head, too? We come together, huh? Yeah, that sounds about right.

devilishgoodlooks

"I hate you, die", huh?

You sure know how to make a guy feel welcome.

[Not that he needs to be welcomed anywhere. He sure didn't to bulldoze into his mun's headspace just now. He finds himself a chair and makes himself at home, one arm slung leisurely over the back of it.]

Y'know, I knew you'd cave eventually. You keep sayin' that you're just doing this for a joke, or so Vergil and his buddy can have a punching bag-- which, by the way. Can you tell the dude with the sunglasses to knock it off with the hand stabbing thing? It gets real old, real fast.

[He waves a hand, then continues.]

Anyway, as I was saying. You went all out of your way to find me some nice icons, you're great with me on that fighting game, don't even lie... Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

Just admit it. You like me.

rabbitintherain

[Yoshino just stares quietly for a moment. She's none too pleased with the idea of being dragged off to some game without her friends. Or being dragged off to some game in general. She liked it where she was.]

Mun...

[She starts to speak, but trails off. And then she begins speaking through her hand puppet.]

This isn't a good idea, you know! Shido will get into all sorts of trouble if we're not around. It'd be much more fun if the whole gang was there, but they're not.

So why not send that other girl? The one with the clock eye. You can be mean to her instead.

[Yoshino nods slowly. Although...the persona that's been chosen for her is kind of cute. But still, not thrilled with the idea. She's barely used to Tengu City, let alone someplace completely new.]

So we'll give you some time to rethink this.

[Well, at least she tried to convince her mun, not that she thinks it'll do any good.]

((Canon is: Date A Live))

andproper

I'm worried about Katniss.

They put her back inside the games again.... And they won't bring her back if she dies. They rescued all the other mentors already, but they left her in there..

I think they're trying to punish her for what she did in her games. She wouldn't have done it voluntarily - I can say that here, right? You told me the Capitol can't hear me here, mun. I'm trying to believe you...

...It's sort of like the movie, though, isn't it? The one we didn't go through, because the Capitol changed everything? They're putting everyone in so that nobody feels safe. That way no one will want to risk fighting...

But they shouldn't have left Katniss in so long. It will make her nightmares worse...

tranquilsong

I will admit that... this comes as a bit of a surprise. Even you think it's a strange thing. And it was sudden.

I cannot say I know much about what it is you do. Not yet at least. I am sure I will have my own taste of 'experience' with these things soon enough.

But what I do know is that we should work together. I will not tell you to stop or to give up, no matter how strange I think it. I believe that there is - somewhere - a reason. Even if you cannot see it now, it may make itself known yet.

I know what it is you wish. And you know what it is I wish.

Hopefully together, those things may be possible.

disheroic

. . .

[ a small twitch at the corner of his mouth, like he's fighting the urge to scowl. ]

Talk about a knack for timing. [ dryly. because, seriously: welcome to exit void, here's a crazy in a lab coat and a bunch of caged experiments. ... not exactly a walk down memory lane, but close enough to make him feel a little nauseous. not exactly how anyone looks forward to coming out of retirement, buuut...! ]

... at least we're doing this alone. [ which means everyone else he cares about is safe. small favors. ] It's not the kind of place where you're happy to see familiar faces.

satanlawyer

Just ....no I have things to do, I have a life even if you don 't think so. Stop trying to find me castmates to play with. Why you ask? Simple because the few we 've found are clearly not interested in talking to me which is fine. (You can't lie to yourself remember?) Like hell I can't, read my lips mun I do not need a game or any castmates I have work that is enough for now. Besides we have a Lindsey to play with which is something.

heathermason

You've gotta be kidding me! Seriously. After everything you put me through, all the crap you pulled in that stupid Facility, you're logging in to my account again? Come on. I thought I was supposed to get some rest after all that.

No?

Ugh. Great. Well, I guess one of us has to be the bad guy. Might as well be you.

kittenfists

...Your guess as to how you managed to make less icons than you had before is just as good as mine, Munny. But look at the bright side: you only have eighteen more to make!

I'm LOVING these new icons, though! And this new username! Your old one was just as nice too, but if you like this one better, then so do I.

Don't feel like you have to rush to finish the rest of those icons, though. I mean eighty-two's a pretty good number to start with, right? Relax!

agentprickly

Don't think I don't know you picked this username because it makes you imagine me as a cartoon porcupine. That's not funny.

Not bloodeh again, Mun-girl.

Every time. Every time ye get like this, out I come, and fer what? To talk with a few Doctors and then poof, cooped up till next time?

God's sake, this is worse than the shark thing. No, I'm not exaggeratin'. Get yer damn focus togetha and figure stuff out about me alreadeh!

And get me some decent biscuits, eh? I 'ave taste buds fer a change, let me enjoy 'em. I never did get to try fish fingers and custard, ya know...

Wait, why the hell do you want Saru to come here?! Mikoto-san is enough!

... no, you know what, that's a great idea. And while we're at it, we can strap him to the moon and just leave him up there!

mapsincolor

Dear Mun - I Must Admit Some Trepidation Here.

It Does Sound Like A Fascinating Place. Almost Anything Would Be Preferable To The Monotony Of This Meteor. [She never realized how much she would miss color.]

And It's Good To Know Some Familiar Faces Are Present. Even Friends.

But There Are Also Unwelcome Ones... I Worry More About Them Then The Monsters. Especially HIM. HE Doesn't Sound Like He's Learned ANYTHING.

Wait, Running A Dress Shop?

...I Am Listening.

Current Mood: pensive

delving

Is it normal for one person to scream this often in the span of one day? I'm — I'm having trouble understanding how you haven't gone hoarse.

emeraldcrusader

Writer.

So you finally decide to come out of the woodwork. You sure you've calmed down after so long?

Well, I can't really blame you for disappearing like that. But that's not why I'm here.

Real glad you decided to take me up elsewhere. I knew you couldn't resist me, Writer. It was only a matter of time until you came back. We've been dancing this dance for almost five years now.

Just make sure you take care of the important things, alright? You know what they are. You just started and you're already nose-diving me into things. Not that I'm complaining, but I have my reservations about you. And I'm allowed to have them.

yourbestsucks

Okay, seriously kid, you sure you want to play out this hand? I'm not saying I'm not grateful to get out, stretch my legs, but you know my headspace isn't exactly -- fluffy puppies and rainbows. I'm nothing much but a lot of booze, broken, and ... apparently I'm pretty good with a sword.

You sure?

No going back now.

All right ... so what's on the menu? I'm not saying you're not asking for it -- except where I am. Whatever I get into, I tend to make a holy mess of it. Ben. Rachel. Danny. I won't even mention what happened with Bass ... that story really just told itself.

Charlie might be the only thing I've loved that I haven't fucked to all holy hell.

You can't really use that as a basis if trying to see what I can do if I put my heart into it, in these games and memes and things.

Wait. You ...are.

Really.

...I think I need a drink.

oconnell

Okay, so you're in some trouble with someone important to you. Last time I checked, my business was digging up things that haven't seen the light of day in thousands of years, not problem solving. I'm more of a shoot first, ask questions later kind of guy.

It's not a great plan that you've got going here if you ask me, but if you've got anything to drink...I might be persuaded to provide some assistance.

highspec

It's because I'm such a "high spec" player, right? -- No, it's not? [ And because some people never pass up a chance to tease when they can: ] Are you saying that I'm not such a good player? Ahh, that's so rude of you. My feelings will be hurt, you know.

[ No, it's because Pixiv has a tag dedicated to your high specifications, actually. ]

... "Takao is seriously a high-spec boyfriend", huh.

Well, I can't say whether or not that's true, but I guess that's pretty flattering. So I won't get mad at you this time. But next time, you should acknowledge my skills on the court instead!

spirit_says_so

Great Spirit, what have I gotten myself into now?

I think we have issues.
