watching castmates from afar...or maybe pretty closely

[redripoff]

You're genuinely terrible. You promised me I was out of the game--this whole game, not just any single one! Don't drag me back in just to aggravate her! She's doing well, you're already over-booked, and--

And I don't think she wants me around anyway!

Voice-testing, and she's not happy

[nomoreweirdness]

Oh, no. No, you don't. You can stop right there. You're not getting me caught up in all this silliness.

I won't have it, all right? And besides, you know there's no place for me out there. Honestly, I don't know where you get your ideas. You know that all I want is just to have a quiet life, at least as quiet as it can be.

Do you hear me? I won't be having it!

On apping to dagaz

[dirtyandtrue]

Oh look at all the trouble you're going to. So dedicated and thoughtful. I'm touched, really. I did warn you that my past was expansive.

You never listen.

Nerves won't do you any good - I'm never worried and they've got beautiful women and booze. What more could I need?

He's trying to smooth talk me into a game

[o5_12]

Oh, no. Don't blame me for the fact you review my canon for hours at a time. That's not on me.

You are, however, now familiar enough with the workings of the Foundation to see that clearly people from my universe are, as your people put it, 'genre savvy'. We accept things so far out of the norm that someone from another world would go mad from the idea; more than that, we take those things and study them. I have been personally working at this for well over two centuries. There are plenty of places that could use that knowledge.

As for my part, of course, I have my own motivations. But you knew what those were when you took me in all those months ago. My goals wouldn't ever coincide with harming the inhabitants of other games, unlike most of your muses, and since you said you'd like to tone down the level of violence in your RPing, I really am legitimately a better choice here. We could both profit greatly from this venture. I'll even overlook your continual jokes about me being a 'mad scientist' just because of one grossly misunderstood incident that happened before your own grandparents were even born.

Now. Let's find a game that allows for people from my canon, yes?

Homeless and looking

[questionablewit]

It doesn't have to be this way, you know. I could have a vacation instead. Find a beach? Practice swimming? Let the dog wear himself out running around in circles?

What do you mean I'd get bored? I don't know what the word means. Probably because I've never had the opportunity to find out.

Voice testing.

[squadronsquandered]

You know, it's perfectly fine being nervous. Everyone gets like that every now and then. But come on, this is supposed to be fun. Get out there and meet some new people. I guarantee that both of us will grow a little bit more in the process. And hey, maybe we'll even run into some old friends. You'll never know until you get out there.

(no subject)

[goodd0g]

[Eight-foot-tall robodog gorilla-stomping its way through Dear Mun, look out! It lightly pounds its enormous front legs on the ground and mechanically whines.]

Bwuuuooh!

[Alyx isn't here. Could be in trouble. Do you know where Alyx is?]

Bweeoh...

[Mun doesn't know where. Mun won't play fetch. This is bad. Please send Dog back.]

Canon is: Moulin Rouge!

[justacough]

Silly, is how I would phrase it. Foolish is another.

I don't have time for you, my dear. I'm a very busy woman whose time is in high demand. So unless you've got the ability to pay, I suggest you rethink this little endeavor of yours.

And I'm not laughing at that awful name you've given me.

Mun got downsized, muse is giving pep talk.

[secondshift]

Mun, it's going to be okay. So you lost one job, but at least you still have your other one. You'll just have to put in a few more hours, and I don't mind that. It's not like I don't put in a few long nights at the precinct.

And I think I can safely speak for everyone I play with, and their muns, and say that they're here for you too. I'm sure you can talk to them if you need to and I think - at least I hope - they won't mind throwing their muses at me if you ever need an escape.

I'll even try to find you a Cutter again. That'd cheer you up. Don't even lie, you made me sit through like eight hours of Law & Order yesterday just because of him. Jesus Christ, you even watched half of the same episode twice before you noticed it was a repeat.

We're gonna get through this. It's not the end of the world. And besides, didn't you hate your boss anyway? So maybe it's for the best, in the end. Just have some cookies and a stiff drink and we'll soldier on. We always do.

Oh THIS is such a bad idea...

[mapsincolor]

Mun dear, are you sure you want to start with me? About time you added a villain to your mix!

[Technically I think you're an anti-hero.]

Let's not quibble over details. This sounds like fun!

Apped to the Wake

[a_good_detective]

You - you wrote an entire application and sent it in without my consent or even consultation. Really. [Sherlock's eyes harden, a lack of warmth in them.]

Well, when this falls to pieces, I hope you don't expect much sympathy from me. I am not particularly inclined to give it even under the best of circumstances, and the bet of circumstances permanently ended for me a long time ago. You do not even have a plan for my participation in the events that will unfold there. So not only is this endeavor pointless, you have no concept of what to do if you succeed. It's no surprise you're not as smart as someone like myself, but this is several steps below even your own standards.

[A flicker of something that could be a grimace or a humorless smile goes across his face for a moment.] Well, at least there's fencing lessons and the potential to Bend ice.

Non fugiat dolore,
Amicum illas amplexor.

Well played, Mundane.

Random voicetest. Canon is Ex- books by Peter Cline

[gogglesdosomething]

Yeah, okay, I guess he's as close as you're getting to looking like me. As far as you can tell, anyway, I barely rate a description at all. Not that it matters, seeing as I have no intention of staying. I'm not the kind of character you even like playing, I'm dead and burnt so I don't get to come back, and no-one's heard of me. Why the fuck bother?

Just because the name was free is not a good reason.

oh god what am I even doing

[anarchybird]

Hmph. I do not know why some of you humans are so against anarchy. Anarchy is the ultimate expression of freedom to do what you want. So what if some innocents were "sacrificed" to bring me from my imprisonment in the thing you humans call a PC? It is all for the greater good.

[Flaps its wings as it tilts its head.]

You cannot deny the fact that Democracy is sometimes fallible, mundane.

heading off.

[tacticalshipping]

So... you half-finished an application for me. Then you got waysided. Then you decided that it was to take a swift trip to your recycle bin. Then... out of nothing, you place a reserve for an application period which starts tomorrow with absolutely nothing to work from, to a community which many of my canon have tried and failed to adapt to. Wonderful.

I'll admit, I'm unsure whether or not you can do this and succeed. But if we're going to give it a shot, let's give it a good one. I suppose there's not much difference between waking up in a field and waking up there.

Muse on Recent News (Heroes Reborn)

[leftforgotten]

Honestly now. You know they aren't even going to mention whatever happened to me...which it's obvious you'd like to know and would like to see it resolved. All the same, just because you want it doesn't mean it will end up happening. You know it. Stop hoping...just stop.


I don't even get why you bother with me most days...

I'unno. He won't leave.

[asschabs]

Yeah, you know why yer feelin' like a nug runnin' around with it's head cut off? You don't have a few quarts of ale and a nice dwarven stud around to make things better...

What? No, I didn't mean the chest hair story guy! Sodding moss-licker! Teach me to try an help...

NEW EPISODE FEELINGS

[icebutnice]

[There's just... stunned silence from Simon at the moment.

What can he even say? He looks left, then right for nothing in particular, his hand rests subconsciously on his crown.]

...I don't believe it. I just...

[A shake of the head. Something like this finally happening...]

G-give me a moment, okay? All of this is really....

[He doesn't finish, simply choosing to sit down and rest his head on his hand. There were a million things he could say at the moment, but none of them could say how exactly he felt at the moment.]

I make the best decisions. Spoilers in comments. [Canon: Kill la Kill]

[stitched_gods]

...Yes, I will agree that this is indeed better than being impaled on my own blade.

...But not by much.

Re: Today's Episode (spoilers in comments)

[gunplaprince]

I...but...wh....huh?!

[Reiji, use your words.]

Rrrr...I don't even know who I'm supposed to be mad at!
