what the hell am i doing

[notsostressfree]

I appreciate you want to pick me up and all, but wouldn't you be more suited to play someone else?
Just a...you know, a suggestion.

Amen to that.

[notsostressfree]

You'll forgive me if I'm surprised to garner sympathy from anyone.

[lovemesomepie]

I don't know who you are, dude, but anyone who's got a mun trying to pull their strings deserves somethin'.

[Unless you're one of his enemies, that is.]

[notsostressfree]

From what I hear, that's most people on here. To be on the safe side, she's not pulling too hard.

[Haaaa. Dean. Oh Dean. Just don't make him mad.]

[lovemesomepie]

Safe side? She afraid of you?

[notsostressfree]

We'll just say I intimidate her. Isn't that the case with all new muses?

[lovemesomepie]

I wish mine would stay intimidated.

[notsostressfree]

It's not all it's cracked up to be.

[lovemesomepie]

Whatever will get her to leave me the hell alone.

[notsostressfree]

You'd prefer solitude?

[lovemesomepie]

I got work to do.

[notsostressfree]

Don't we all. Better places to be, right?

[lovemesomepie]

Exactly. Not that any of 'em care.

[notsostressfree]

Let me take a wild guess. Family you need to be there for?

[lovemesomepie]

Bingo.

What about you?

[notsostressfree]

Personal things. Rather not get into it.

[lovemesomepie]

[Dean nods. He can respect that.]

Well, good luck.

[notsostressfree]

Same goes to you. Good luck being there for your...family.

[lovemesomepie]

[Weird pause, but he'll shrug it off.]

Thanks.

[notsostressfree]

Sorry if that came across as a bit strange. Might be a little bit of jealousy on my end.

[lovemesomepie]

Family doesn't end with blood.

[dottir]

They do not take warmly to suggestions, and you needn't resort to them, Banner. Not with your particular talent.

[notsostressfree]

[Pardon him, putting his glasses back on just to get a better look at who he's talking to. Oh. Well then. The glasses slide back off and it's business as usual, clearing his throat.]

She. She doesn't find it to be a threat. There's a barrier of cyberspace between us.

[dottir]

Barriers can be traversed. Into every realm there is a door, be it golden gated or shrouded in shadow.

i love your icon keywords <3

[gammabruce]

Good luck convincing the mun of that. It didn't work with mine.

haha, thank you!

[notsostressfree]

[He's experienced weirder things at this point. Talking to himself? On the less weird end of the spectrum.]

I've tried, but it doesn't seem like she's backing out any time soon.

[gammabruce]

[ Yeah, he's getting used to Weird Inexplicable Shit, too. Aliens and demi-gods, and timelines. Oh my. ]

Do you at least have some place to go? Or are you regulated to neverending memes?

[notsostressfree]

[He makes a sound that sounds faintly like a laugh, but a perplexed one.]

I'm hoping it's a joke, but she defines it as a sex game. I'll take the neverending memes, thank you.

[gammabruce]

...At least she didn't put in a slave auction meme. No one bought me. [ Pause. ] I'm not sure if I should be relieved at that or not.

[ Considers. ] A sex game. Wouldn't our... condition kind of get in the way of that?

[notsostressfree]

I would be relieved personally. Imagine being purchased by someone who'd take advantage of things?

[A dry huffing sound.]

I tried to tell her that. Muns have a sadistic streak, don't they? She has it in her head that it would be funny.

[gammabruce]

Yes, well. We're in agreement about the sadistic streak. They find amusement in our pain. Really a difficult place to be in.

[notsostressfree]

You're telling me. Going to take a guess and say hoping for a player who doesn't thrive on sadism is useless.

[gammabruce]

Pretty much, yeah.

[blanched]

But... your mun must have chosen you for a reason.
