You're... putting me two places? I hope you change your mind before the app cycles come up. Just because you're... gonna get me some new icons and you're excited about commissioning them doesn't mean you need to... use them.

[He sighs.]

I just... think you're being a bit hasty. And just 'cause you've had the app written for, I dunno, a month already... I'm just gonna cross my fingers and hope I get rejected.

Even if you do get rejected, I don't think there's much that could keep your mun from trying again. [But he feels you, bro.]

I know. Stupid thing is... I wouldn't mind goin' somewhere to meet people. Just... not those places.

Yeah. [He'd say he knows the feeling, but...well, look who he's talking to.]

You sure you can't convince your mun to take you somewhere more...I don't know, normal?

Pretty damn sure, yeah. It's...

[He shakes his head.]

Just dumb.

[He nods to that.]

At least... [And then he rubs the back of his neck.] If they're the same places you mentioned last time... At least only one of them sounds really awful.

Yeah... I dunno, I guess. I think they both sound bad in different ways. But I'll make do, y'know. I -- we -- always do.

Right.

[He smiles, hoping it's encouraging.] Hopefully you'll find friends there.

Thanks. I hope so too. And... hey... this is kinda weird, since you're... me, but...

[He smiles in response.]

You've been helpful. Really.

Oh— Really?

[He honestly wasn't expecting that, especially considering he's talking to...well, himself.]

Thanks. I mean, uh... You're welcome. I guess.

Sorry, I know that's kinda... kinda weird.

Well... [He finds himself rubbing the back of his neck again.] No weirder than the fact we're talking to each other — ourselves — in the first place, I think.

I guess that's true. Hey... you ever meet another one of us, or... are we the only ones?

Uh... [He has to think about that one.]

No... I don't think so. Not as far as I can remember, anyway. But I'm sure there are more of us out there.

There have got to be... but that'd be bizarre.

I'm with you.

Seems like there's enough of me here already anyway.

There's... certainly more of me -- er, us -- than I ever expected.

Used to be, we'd show up, but then disappear pretty quickly after. Seemed like I was the only one to stick around, but...now there's you two.

[A nod.]

You ever get to be, y'know, actually in a game?

[a return nod, slow]

For more than a year. My journal had a different name, though, and she took me from a different time.

How come you're not anymore?

She got busy, and then she couldn't get back into the swing of it.

It's too bad. I miss my people there.

That's too bad. I'm kinda worried about that... making friends, and then just, y'know, they leave, or I leave...

It's hard. The Facility's bad too, I've heard.

Yeah. I've heard, too. My mun's got another guy there already. She was thinking about sending me to this library place, but she's already got, uh...

[A sigh, and then he speaks reluctantly.]

Andrew Ryan there, so.

[He stares, a little wide-eyed. It's not the most well-loved name.]

Oh.

Yeah, it's... yeah. Not great.

[[OOC: The community I play Ryan in right now is the_library. It's small, and awesome.]]

No. Not great.

I ran into all sorts of people from Rapture, where I used to be, but never him.

[[wow gosh how great is that. I am so dubious about managing more than one game, but a ryan though fwaodkfhsjd /gross sobbing]]

Yeah? That's lucky. My mun has... a lot of "muses" from Rapture. A lot. It's kinda... overwhelming, sometimes.

[[I totally understand that, haha. Well, if you ever wanted to meme thread or do a dear_mun thread or something with my Ryan I would enjoy that!]

Mine just has Stango. He's not from Rapture, but she keeps saying he's one of us anyway. But you should see her when she spots a Fontaine.

[His voice drops a little when he says the name, unconsciously. There are only a couple of people who can compete with Ryan for unpleasantness, and that's one of them.]

[[_{well gosh, I would love to! such a rare character. and so hard to find bio-muns years after the last game came out...it's very exciting to me, haha, I really miss bioshock fandom being a thing}]]

My, uh, my mun has a Fontaine, too.

[He doesn't sound happy about it.]

I'd trade you. Sounds like you get to associate with better people.

[[I miss Bioshock fandom being as active, too! I'm still on the anonmeme and stuff, and meme as a lot of characters, but don't get so many canonmates these days =(]]

Stango's not very nice, but as far as I know, he's not a murderer, or...

[He doesn't really have a word for all the fucked-up things Fontaine is, so he just shrugs.]

On the other hand, it might be nice to have someone around who understood. If it wasn't...one of those two.

[[_{haha oh what is your meme handle tho
ugh you play fontaine too, I don't know if I can handle these feelings of longing}]]

Maybe you could get someone decent. I mean, like...

[He has to think about who's actually decent around Rapture.]

Tenenbaum, maybe?

[[Oh riiiight so my Ryan account is rianofski and my Fontaine account is nosecandyandfloorpolish and I have about 900 other Bioshock accounts so here's my muselist: http://kilobites.dreamwidth.org/1030.html]]

I like Tenenbaum pretty well. And there's the girls, of course.

[[_{Ooh, excellent! That's a fun list, I'd also dearly love to play with a Jasmine in addition to Ryan and Fontaine, haha. Also hi, I'm your predecessor, the artist formerly known as fuckingshrugged.}]]

I've never seen any of the girls around.

[He sounds sad about it.]

[[Well, I'd be happy to tag as whoever! Like I said, I don't get enough canonmates. And you're fuckingshrugged? Awesome! Funny what a small word this fandom is]]

In the timeline I used to come from, I was living with them. This is almost better...at least here, she's not taking me away from them.

There's a Sister in the place I'm going to, but not one of ours. At least it's someone to look out for.

[[_{haha I suppose I could make my Jack his own d_m post and see who came by >.>
it is! itty bitty fandom. I am stunned that anyone on the meme still remembers me, haha.}]]

That's good. It'd be harder if... you had to be taken away.

[He shakes his head.]

Where are you going? Somewhere better than me, I hope.

[[You should! I'd definitely tag in with one (or more) of my characters. Yeah, I totally remember you! The only one I play on the meme is Ryan (nogodsnokings) but I was an anon lurker for a looooong time, haha.]]

Wishingscales, it's called. Termina. We're waiting to hear back. I can live without, but she's getting impatient.

[[_{oh, we had a super entertaining thread when I dropped by to visit a couple months back! =)}]]

Never heard of it... just the name sounds okay, though. Less... creepy, I guess.

[[You should drop by sometime again! It's awfully slow, but a lot of the people are still there =)]]

It doesn't seem as bad as Wonderland, anyway.

But I don't know. She says she's letting me keep all my knowledge right now, but next time I might not remember everything--like living with the girls or about Atlas or Wonderland or anything.

So... everything you remember can just be... taken away? Great.

Right. Everything.

When I go, I'll still have Ryan's blood on my hands.

That's... rough. I'm sorry. All of that was just... a mess.
