brand new muse (from Beetlejuice, since there's no tag BOO)

[hauntedhome]

Listen...I don't know what I'm doing here. Inside your head. To be honest, when I saw this place, I thought I died some sudden, tragic death, and woke up somewhere in the afterlife.

{ Thanks...? Wait-- what's that supposed to mean? }

Oh! Well, only tragic because that's how...I always imagined I would die... { (Lydia coyly looks down at her fiddling fingers.

And I nod my head with a concernedly blank look on my face.) That's not...nevermind. }

This is...pretty cool, though. And I like some of the other people here. Like that weird twitchy guy, who dissects dead bodies. Do you think he'll let me watch sometime?

{ Uh! Later! How about for right now, we figure out some places for you to make new friends? Like, right here? Right now? }

You mean like that doctor psychopath that kills people that you set me up with on that other...'thread'? { Listen I don't appreciate those air quotes, ma'am. And that...I have plans for that, okay? Maybe if you're lucky you'll find some more dead people to talk to. Or a werewolf. I might even know a half-demon kid your age for you to hang out with. It'll be fun!

(Lydia slowly relents with a smile. FINALLY.) } Yeah, okay. Bring 'em on.

On possibly bringing back a very old muse

[dreamtamer]

 It's been a long time, mun. Are you really thinking about letting me go on one more adventure?

[Takato pauses and shifts nervously.]

Don't get me wrong! I'm really excited about going to a new world and meeting some new people. But... do you think I could meet Guilmon there? 

There's a promise I made that I really want to keep.

on stakes and games

[bonni]

So I get one little stint as a vampire hunter and you want to throw me in a full game again?

I mean, sure, things have changed since the last time. I can see why that'd make you reconsider.

....Look, I'll be level with you. Last time around wasn't so bad. It was actually pretty fun. And the way things are in Ooo, I might enjoy it this time around, too. It's even in space again. I'm already an old hand with that.

But, just so you know. If I did turn one of the spaceships into a robot, I wouldn't call it a Transformer. That's trademarked. We'll go with Spacefaring-Plane-Adapting-to-Giant-Humanoid Engineered-for-Transformation Traveling Invention.

Or SPAGHETTI for short.

[ Wow. ]

I know. I impress myself sometimes.

[ Moving on- ] I'm hoping some of my friends will come along. Think you can manage that?
