Seriously? After all that, you're just going to give up and leave me stranded in your head with nothing to do?

Thanks a lot. Really. You barely even tried. What am I supposed to do now?

Mun not putting you anywhere fun?

[ironteen]

Mun not putting me anywhere period. She's managed to convince herself that since more people prefer the attractive, older, "live action" version of me from a different universe, no one will want to play with me.

[no_stopping]

Aw, that's not true. I'm sure. Just "assert your individuality" or some shit like that. Find a Dressing Room or something.

[ironteen]

I think a Dressing Room might be my only chance at this point.

[no_stopping]

Huh. My mun's helping start up a completely brand-new one, if that's any help? As an option.

[ironteen]

It's definitely something my mun will be keeping in mind.

[no_stopping]

Cool. I hope it'll be fun once things get going. I hear they have beaches.

[ironteen]

Beaches are always a good thing.

[no_stopping]

Except when the sand gets...

[Whispered dramatically with fake seriousness:] Everywhere.

[ironteen]

[He snorts a laugh.]

You just have to be careful with that.

[no_stopping]

Hey, it's not just sand. Nature can be scary. Like the time I fell off a cliff onto cactus, that was fun.

[sandwormie]

Aw, really?

[ironteen]

Ouch. How did you even manage to do that?

[ironteen]

For now, anyway. She's still got that place tucked away on her computer, she's just apparently prone to bouts of extreme nervousness. Lucky me, huh?

[no_stopping]

I was hiking, and the dirt gave way. Some cacti had made their home sweet home on the slope down. Worst vacation ever.

[sandwormie]

Um... I guess I have advice. Or a story? Whatever. No idea if it'd apply at all, but - don't get all huffy because I'm younger, all right? You would not believe how annoying that is.

[ironteen]

Sounds like it. Sticking to beaches might be a good idea for you.

[ironteen]

Nah, go for it. No huffiness, I swear.

[no_stopping]

I probably need a tan, anyway.

[ironteen]

Are you one of those people who goes to the beach just to lay there in the sun?

[no_stopping]

Nope. But you can tan and run around and swim at the same time, can't you?

[ironteen]

I was just checking. I've never understood being able to just... lay there.

[no_stopping]

I'd get bored. But I guess some people are just more patient. Or lazy.

[ironteen]

I guess so.

...Man, I haven't actually been to the beach in ages.

[sandwormie]

Great!

...It's just, when she started out with me, my mun was afraid no one would tag me. She had me talk to my future-nephew - which is a weird thing, by the way - on dear_mun and said in the bracket-text she was applying, and didn't get any bracket-text back, and there was the plurk thing.

So when we did get in, she pretty much just had me reply to everything. I mean, it makes sense, I'm curious, I want to meet people and see new things. But still, heavy duty getting in there. And it's not polite, just not responding to comments; even if they've decided they don't like you, they're going to have to acknowledge it.

And it worked out pretty well. Get out enough, show your you-ness enough, and people will go with it! Different versions make things more interesting!
