Dec. 5th, 2013

I fail to see how you'd expect me to want to celebrate.

It's an anniversary, nothing more.

[hmph.] You have such strange impressions about things at times.

Current Mood: indifferent

overthroen

Oh. Yes?

[ Rose is sitting cross-legged with a large book spread across her lap. ]

I don't suppose you approached me with the intention of doing anything actually productive? [ Purses her lips and glances at the mun's computer, sitting idle. ] No, I suppose not. You have studying to do, you know.

Unless you're here for more celebratory reasons. In which case I might remind you that you're actually half an hour late. Unless you're planning to move to the west coast in the next couple of hours. You'd better be quick, your plane is probably leaving soon.

Now if you don't mind [ she looks pointedly back at the mun's unfinished essay ] I believe we both really have better things to do than to sit around pelting stones at incorporeal pockets of air.

[ She couldn't just have said "shooting the breeze", now could she? ]

egyptiantemptress

So you've missed me? I can't say the feeling is mutual. [She smirks faintly, toying with an Egyptian Asp.] You have little to offer me. Tell me again why I should abide by your wishes?

gavesugar

( I wasn't surprised. Were YOU surprised? )

ex_centrifuge787

I mean, hey, it isn't that I'm not grateful or anything. Because, I am. Really. But, uh — don't you think this is all just a little premature?

torc

You have waited for this.

[ Her mouth curves into a smile, vaguely cryptic, but the depth of her gaze is calm and level. ]

You wear it plainly. And now—for me—that wait has ended.

[ Guinevere crosses her arms beneath the folds of her cloak, defiant even in acceptance. ]

It matters little. [ A drop of pride warms the corners of her lips as she lifts her chin a touch. ] This land is in my blood. Whether beneath my feet or no, I will carry it with me to my last breath.

[ Challenge flickers across her eyes. ]

I am not afraid.

baggies

Mun,

Look, I think you are nuts for this.

ruleswithvelvet

...Stifled? Is that how you're describing me, mun? Because I don't want to play your little games if I can't have a few of my own? How long has it been, mun, since I've had a... what did you call them? Victims? None of my playmates where unwilling, mun... Is that skirting the rules and keeping my words clean enough, by the way, or am I still coming on to strong?

The point, dear mun, is that you need to use me more effectively. Either in your "Games," or in a "meme," or a PSL, or wherever else you choose. I haven't been allowed to play of late - we both know this post is going to get me more angry looks than sultry ones, and as fun as it is turning anger into another form of heat... it's not precisely the challenge I'm asking for.

I don't enjoy being blunt, mun. It tends to be vulgar; and it doesn't leave either of us particularly pleased. But you need to either use me properly, or at least stop abusing my presence in your muse list in your rants.

consultsdetective

Oh, right, just want to hop right back on the horse here, yeah? Sounds great! A proper do-over. It'll be like you never had me lose my hair, turn translucent, or had me murdered in the middle of a bloody conversation last time. [ You'll put an eye out with that kind of sarcasm. ]

That doesn't even cover the wings and barcode disaster, does it? Better to leave off with all this while you're ahead.

oubliance

Oh, mundane! You do have the most curious imagination! I can behave myself quite well enough without your fretting, I assure you. One with such a sensitive disposition as mine could not so much as conceive of causing you any trouble.

Really, now. If I didn't know any better I should almost think you didn't trust me.

jackdaws

I'm gladdened to see you're a lass who knows not to drag her heels. But what madness possessed you to send me to a dirty great turtle? And why pull me from that point in time? I suppose if Mary should come along she'll find me a more tolerable man, but still...

Humiliating me in front of Haytham, by the by, isn't half as funny as you think it is. Give over, will you? I came into this partnership to make a profit, not just for your own cheap laughs. Don't go forgetting it.

WOULD YOU JUST DECIDE ALREADY?!

tessanne

I've got a lot of stuff to learn today. I just got my new desk and I've barely finished unpacking. I still have to learn where everything is, who all these people are, what the office policies are and about all the cases I'm assigned to. I'll be reading files for hours.

And I am very nervous, now that I'm suddenly working for one of the biggest firms in Chicago, answering directly to somebody whose name is on the wall.

That's not counting the few things I promised Scott I'd finish this week so that my old firm isn't short-handed.

Plus, oh yeah, my brother's still in a huff because I left a job he got me in order to take one working for somebody he's never met.

I really have enough going on without you being so excited about all of it. Just wait until Will's mun gets back so I can talk to him and until then, let me finish going over all these files.

Current Mood: busy

You know, I always knew you and your friends could get weird...

But I didn't quite expect that weird.

[Oh my god, mun, Ilya and Toscha are just friends- get it together.]

orangefreak

Beating me up over that? [so laughing]

I couldn't tell you even if I wanted to. You know that. But your theory was correct, yes? For the most part anyway. And now you finally know about Chibisuke and I.

Wasn't it better for you to find out on your own?

As to that other question you have... [smirks] Mada mada daze~

seduct

I don't appreciate being "on a whim", as you say.

hikaruorkaoru

So.

Haruhi might be there? That's good. I guess.

[He has no energy for dramatics right now. Give it time, they'll come back. Right now, though? It's just not fun.]

I mean -- I don't really mind it there. No money's weird and... yeah. Still can't cook. But I've got that awesome sewing machine. And the Fashion Club. That's okay.

But... It's not going to be Christmas without Kaoru. We've never spent a holiday apart.

I don't care about the party, not if Kaoru's not there.

bondedsoul

[ A short, somewhat desperate message is written on a fogged up mirror. ]

Where is she?

shadowscall

...Thanks for that. At least you're not letting Bakura yank my soul out. Or stick soul fragments where they don't belong. Or lick my blood. Ugh. Just-

This couldn't have waited? My birthday's a little over a week away, I'd like to turn eighteen in peace. Preferably with Karasu.

And no, I'm not going to consider Heart's Shadow an early present. Can't I give that one back somehow?

notdreaming

I really don't appreciate you snickering and poking fun at my culture. And can we please not talk about my father in this context? Whatever he thinks you know Mother would be furious.

Even if it is kind of nice, and even if people were starting to change their minds about gene-matching, it's completely inappropriate to have me... mash mouths with random people just because it's funny. Not to mention the structural damage that always happens when people take me by surprise.

Stop calling me cute when I blush!

secretways

Mundane,

I do not know how or why you have a form of control over me but I suggest you relinquish it. I have plans I have set in motion and need to return to without this little sojourn to some other unknown realm with limited power.

Time is of the essence and I will not be bound by another's rules.

brothercomedy

Heeeey, munny-mun, can I call you that? Mun-kun. Munny-kun! Daru-mun-ka!

Just kidding! But you know what? We need to talk.

This is terrible, awful! Making a journal for someone you don't even think you can play. You didn't think that one through, did ya?

If I just sit here in some dusty corner of your head, I'll get rusty! I need fun, tough battles like a train needs proper oiling!

... is what I'd say if I were my big bro, which I'm not. I'm Kudari and you should learn how to play someone before you go ahead and do something reckless!

truthinmylies

What's done is done. You have rewoken me; do not whine about the consequence, its fairness, or any combination of the two.

sweetfacelove

...What do you mean the only face I make with my helmet off is 'confused?' What about when...

Uuuh. [Hold on he's sure he's made other faces.] Well, I smile sometimes too. How is this my fault? I can't help it if I spent most of my time in life threatening situations. In space! Excuse me for not being able to do that without a helmet.

Jerk.

dontmesswith

Look, Gambit's gone now. He's been gone for awhile.

So do me and yourself a favor and let me go too. There's no real point in keepin' me there.

drinksmilk

You didn't notice that I was holding a weapons magazine until after you watched it again? Geez, mun. I'm not the best at paying attention myself, but that's a little out there even for me.

But it's good to know you're paying attention to me now and then. I mean, not that watching you go through that game full of heroes and this 'Song Magic' thingy isn't fun, but I need a little breathing room, too! Especially if you plan on sending me somewhere in the future.

sponsorigami

Mun! H-How could you forget what day it is? It's the Day of the Ninja!

[ And also the day the mun headcanoned for his birthday because it is said day. ]

... I guess saying the day snuck up on you is okay. That's very ninja like.

A-and... what has my life become in RP lately? I-I mean it's...

sociospatial

Now this is interesting.

You realize I'll know it's fictional. Coincidences, timed events, plot arcs - these things have noticeable characteristics, from the inside. Ordinarily, I would simply think that events are being manipulated by an unseen hand. It's what I do, after all. But after a while... no one can rule the whole world. No one can make all the puzzle pieces fit together. That's why reality, in all its messy chaos, is so beautiful. You can't have signal without noise.

But this place, this one... if you extract every single signal and add them together, what you get is noise again. Chaos. Randomness, even if it's a randomness of a particular color. I've never seen such a fascinating bunch of nonsensical rambling.

Let's talk about doctrinal creation. Superheroes, as you well know, necessitate an entirely new body of law. Civil and criminal. I have plenty of reason to create exceptions for our noble vigilantes who insist on hiding their identity. Imagine if that were legalized. A Registration Act - it's rational, yes, but the process of a two-dimensional mind. Anyone can see that would lead to a civil war. No, I would think... something else. Control the heroes by controlling the image. No - by controlling the villains.

Yes. That's perfect.

coldpsych

Don't come whining to me if you feel frustrated about the "internet woes". They're partially your fault for being a freeloader. Frankly, I'd be happier if you'd never made this account.

Now leave me alone.

womanwhobeatyou

Christmas makes you nostalgic for me, does it, pet? It has been two years. I suppose you're allowed a certain passing fondness.

As for my return, really dear, you do realize I have better things to do than hover around Baker Street next year? A passing text, perhaps, if resurrection doesn't make him dreadfully dull. And yes, I do realize it would be entertaining to shock the literal facial hair off Dr. Watson. The answer is still no.

sturmunddrang

I believe they call this being out of your element, Fräulein. So many responsibilities to shift between, I've seen traumatic breakdowns over less. Of course some of us would love to see you able to manage your time well, but it is not a task for the feeble.

You would not want to let me down, would you?

soldiernoclass

You know, I never thought I'd end up being the one waiting around, either. Maybe that's - whaddaya call it? Karma, huh?

Oh, well. I guess I'll live.

[ phrasing ]

...Er, heh. You know what I mean. I've probably got more explaining to do than I'd like, already, anyway. It's not all bad.

awizardidit

So, you made the icons for this account from the comics, and you get to complain I don't smile much?

Uh. Have you seen my life?

Not that you make it any better. I mean, I'm in a game with Optimus Prime and I can't get near him.

...

No, I won't sent him love letters with Mouse.

Fan letters are another matter.

allbluedreams

Can't handle anyone else? Ma, well I guess I can see that. I'd kick their asses for giving you shit if I thought I could make it better.

You don't have to bring me to a game, you know. I'm content just to sit here. But, if you do happen to be intrigued by anything full of beautiful ladies in need of a dashing prince to come to their rescue~ I wouldn't say no to that either.

nervendings

.. My brother's there. And Ren. It wouldn't be so bad, I suppose, if you won't let me rest.

At least I'll be free there. More than I've ever known, anyway.

[ a beat. another. a breath. ]

I just don't want to be a burden. That's all.

loveisnotenough

Really, darling?

[She looks....bored.]

This won't last. You're just the latest in a long line of people who've underestimated me. ~~Mother~~, Jafar, that little brat Alice. And yes, even him.

And no, I'm not going to talk about him. I'm a Queen, with more important things to do than dwell on the past.

alkahestrykunais

Mun-sama! It's about time you let me out again. It's really boring in your head y'know. So what are we going to do now?

gramarye

Dear Mun,

I am going to miss Space, Space was, it was fun. I might be the only person who thought so, that's okay, that happens a lot, it was better than the, um, convicted felon, getting beaten by the cops, black-bagging thing. But if we're going somewhere new, I feel obligated to mention that I am 100% okay with ultra-horror, I am okay with tedium or violence or, or whatever else... as long as it's not one of those places where you have to have sex or die. I will behead vampires, navigate labyrinths of hair and gristle, crawl through a dragon's intestines to retrieve the still-talking severed head of an old colleague, and do battle with shrieking tentacled hellbeasts whose psychic touch induces madness as long as it's not a weird sex thing.

Thanks.

Um, I wouldn't object to more kissing, though. That was super great. Why not more of that? Is there a game where you pick one person and just make out with them for six months in a row? No?

And, ah... if it's not too much trouble — can the next place have a university? And, can I go?

ozren

That boy I met's a real jerk, but I'm not gonna make my wolf attack him or anything. I'm trying to prove a point. I can be useful! I can help us escape that place! It's not just chalk, I can use pencil and ink and paint, and it doesn't even have to be animals, maybe I can animate a door...

[Wren's frustration seems to drain as she sighs] But you know that already. I just don't like being written off like that. Even in a place where no one seems to mind, being a mutant still sucks.

martillomiser

Really? [It's the most mild-manned surprise, relaxed on a charming face that doesn't look like it should have seen the year 1933 and still be alive today. And yet, and yet-] It's been 80 years since the repeal of Prohibition, today?

My, [There's a soft laugh, amicable with the slightest hint of wonder, as he finishes pouring a glass of fine wine half-full.] how the the time does fly...

Well yes, of course then. I suppose I'll raise a glass to that?

Can I quit being a character in your head? Is that a thing I can do?

ventusaerius

Oh for crying out-

We spoke about this. We had lengthy discussions about this. And while I'm relieved that you've decided to spare everyone that Maverick's raving, I can't say that I approve of this alternative. You have three characters at the game already.

Three.

if you make a joke about my position and the number, so help me, I will cut you down

Go look after that human boy and leave me be. Your nostalgia isn't worth the headache this will cause all of us. No, I'm not pleased at the notion that there will be another like myself - the one who prompted you to drag me and that Maverick out again no less - and no, the idea of being thrust into another war is not exactly encouraging either. Least of all because I will be on the side of the Resistance this time around.

Stop. Cease and desist. Just... stop.

fusionjack

Do you expect me to be thankful for this, mun? For this "second chance" that you're giving to me?

...

I object to your plans. To become human... how disgusting. Let Chalice do useless things like that. I have better things to do than be a stockbroker.

[Like what? Be a playing card?]

Like finish the Battle Royal. It was in my grasp before. I merely misjudged a few things. Let that be the second chance that you grant me!

I think we have issues.
