From ten_fwd - TNG: Ten Forward/Multiverse

[do_your_duty]

No. See. You still aren't listening.

Have you even thought this through? Yes. Yes. I know. You think you love the story. You think there is some glorious, grand overarching thing that can be highlighted by throwing me at a ship full of humans. But have you thought about this? Really thought about it? Longer than John thinks about whether to think about time.

Thought about how far we came -- how much -- that took. What it took.






How much it...cost...to get where we are now.





Can you even grasp how far away it is at the very beginning, when you've already earned the end?

Oh, you sweet summer child. (Volume 2: Chapter 3 spoilers imminent!)

[crescentic]

Heeeeey! Waitaminute, I'm not a--!

--Er, what did you call me again?

[Oh, Ruby Rose. XD For all intents and purposes, the mun decides to use a more PG-friendly version of said term for Ruby's benefit.]

... A rooster obstacle?

[beat]

Say what now? And, what does that have anything to do with Weiss??

AU event at Genessia....

[forever_prince]

Huh? I'm getting new icons? Okay, but they better get my good side.

[He pauses as he sees the upload progress.]

...No... oh you little... you can't be serious. You're serious aren't you? THIS ISN'T OVER YOU KNOW! I WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE YOU PUNY PATHETIC INSECT!

[He takes another look at some of the icons and promptly collapses.]

This... isn't... over...

Possibly looking for a game?

[science_is_fun]

Mundane, there comes a point where watching the same material over and over again can only get you so far. Reading the comics doesn't seem to help as far as inspiration goes; even though I'm similar to that version of me in some aspects, we're complete opposites in many others.

Finding some Avengers may help, but it seems like most of the ones that are here wouldn't know me, and the ones that do wouldn't think highly of me, if what I've heard is any indication. The team that I'm used to is hopefully an exception to that, but I don't know how likely it is that you'll find them given how long it's been.

Maybe one of these "games" couldn't hurt, though I'm not sure why they're called that when they don't seem particularly fun. Ideally, a place where my knowledge could be used to help others; at any rate, it should hopefully help you to focus and get you to look at this situation in a different way.

Just take a break from watching the first season of our show and try something different; changing things up might help. [Or I could incorporate season 2 - you aren't in most of that, but it has a few episodes that really --] No.

new muse not too happy about choice in name

[crooked_tail]

Of all the things to call it...You chose that? You have to be the worst Two Cane!

[ His crooked tail bristled with anger before he quickly hid it under his cloak, ears pressing down to his head. ]

Aren't you guys supposed to be wise and noble or something? Don't make fun of my tail! I don't know who this 'Crooked man' is but I am not his cat so stop saying that!

happenings at empatheias

[thirdarrow]

Your cruelty knows no bounds, Lady Mundane.

[ He folds his arms neatly, a half-sigh escaping his lips. ] Though I suppose the arrival of my father is something you did not anticipate. But even then, you took the chance when it presented itself to you.

I understand that you thought it better for me to have the company of a familiar face. However, you could have chosen a less... taxing one, at the very least. [ One that did not bring endless pain. ] Surely you must acknowledge that.

[ Cue mun's cackling in the background from somewhere far far away. ]

Nothing I say is going to change your mind, I see. [ He closes his eyes. ] I have been with you ever since the day I was made known to the world... you could have shown a little more concern.

[ She does care for you, Takakage. It's just that you landed yourself with someone who delights in making their favourite characters suffer. And you are her most precious muse, after all... ]

It has been less than five months since we met. I pray the next five will be easier to endure.

considering apping to consignment in the fall

[redheadshot]

Well, at least it's wise to wait till you've started school to see if you can handle a game again.

But this one? [Yoko's got a standard "this is bullshit" face on.] You should know me better than to think I'm alright with destroying planets. Even at this canon point!

[You mean a canon point where you're not yet familiar with the threat of planetary extinction? I thought that would make it easier--less empathy. And anyway, it'd be a choice between someone else's planet or your own.]

I know you love to stick your muses between a rock and a hard place, but this is excessive.

Not to mention there's no one I know there.

On the distractions of canon reviews

[conjuredskies]

Hey, no getting stuck in the past. Not- ah, not that I don’t appreciate the visit home. Even if it is just to gather information for your sinister plots. But I need you to concentrate on important things now, like finding interesting work or, you know, keeping my foot out of my mouth. I mean, if you’re going to have me take an avalanche to the brains, the least you could do is keep them intact.

Besides. Lovely as it might be, that’s… not exactly the Cyrodiil I know. Something for you to keep in mind while you're running around staring at the carpets.

voice testing this brotherhecker, going to havenrpg

[nightrat]

Miss Mun, from that canon point?

[ ... ]

I just wanted to make sure you felt confident, of course! Any less just won't do.

[ Also redoing my icons, please forgive me if my icons appear a little wonky. ]

On having joined genessia and looking for others

[soyoudonthaveto]

Seriously? You find me a game, and you're still looking for more?!?

What the hell Mun. You couldn't keep me in one game, what makes you think you could keep me in two?

♛

[fauxcrown]

Dear mun, why do you play?
Did you not say you hate rhymes?
Perhaps Rubella would be a better match for you
Or engaging in a different sort of playtime.

I am quite busy on my personal quest
And while I do appreciate your work that is so meticulous,
I must return to my homeland - find the light that has been stolen.
Though, if I am honest, I am dreading such tasks ridiculous...

Oh, where are you, Igniculus...?

Guess who just finished the series.

[inthetrenches]

No, don't be foolish.

...he'll be back.

re: current shenanigans in cityofariel

[hands4healing]

Miss Mun!

I can't believe you let this happen!

[Gestures to a thick, black, leather collar, with two buckles.]

Do you know what that jerk, Malfoy, is going to make me do while I'm wearing his magical collar?

[...]

No, I don't care about 'leveling up!' Geeze!

On a cross-canon ship involving him.

[cakeandpain]

I believe you have better things to do than edit the script I produced. What was once a grand tragedy worthy of the stage is now disgusting love story that won't produce the reaction I want from the audience. It's not worthy of me either, Mundane. Really, she's nothing more than a side character that should be tossed away like all the others.

[But this is a side character with a form of Death attached to her. You can't really kill her unless you want to eliminate death, or rush to your own before the tragedy in this particular setting takes place. Or do you want Humans to live, Legato?

That would just cause Legato to glare out at the audience here.]

I don't. They're worthless, disgusting piles of rotting trash. We have been over this before.

[Then let her live. If you wish for death, you should do that. Plus, you seem to like her. And she does make delicious pastries, doesn't she?]

..That she does.

muse wants to be left alone still, but like that's going to happen

[knackered]

You're really not giving up.

I admire your persistence, I suppose; and your interest because it is flattering...

However, I draw the line at being forcibly exposed to the Frog and the Idiot. Yes, that does sound like an awful fairytale name, but I can assure you there's nothing magical about those two.

Isn't America providing enough entertainment for you? Yes? Then I don't see why you've got to be bothering me.

[MAKES 'SHOO'-ING MOTIONS WITH HIS HANDS]

Canon is The 10th Kingdom

[only_a_scratch]

My, my, your head is quite full, my dear, but you have room for one more, don't you? Always room for one more. Are you lonely, dear? Is that why you collect us? To fill a gap in your life, that socializing does not fulfill?

Do you mean to control me? I am afraid I must decline. You lack conviction. I will not be another of your puppets gathering dust.

You have not revived me to leave me imprisoned. I will break free.

belatedly testing the water!

[connectingwisdom]

Mun, I know you have your worries, but I’m sure you’ll be okay whatever happens. What does it matter that we haven’t had much practice together, everyone has to start somewhere and here we are!

[Though it doesn’t change that she’s frowning now, not entirely pleased.]

But did you have to go and make things so difficult? Wherever you decide to send me, you can’t say that it isn’t rude to make things so hard on everyone! What is that smile for?

I’m trying to be a little helpful, couldn't you do the same for me?

Mun-talking has resulted in odd shipping talk

[knightoftheswan]

Why would you even pair us like that? We've already dismissed it ourselves.

[But think of all th-]

No. That's precisely what I don't want to think of. What you should think of is how much trouble he's caused me and how improbable our separate times make such a match. I'd rather you keep focusing on the other people that are actually content at Milliways and continue to leave me out.

Mun has been playing simcity and has developed a shiny new theory on him.

[miniacreofland]

The fuck? You think that pile of dogshit is accurate to my home? Why the hell would I want that many people at my place!

[It would interfere with his gardening damnit!]

And like fuck am I this "Deseret" guy. Or from goddamned Greece! Get your fucking facts straight.

[And up comes that middle finger.]
