very, very new muse

[donutsorgtfo]

Hey, mun, what's the big deal?

[Well hey, someone's looking disgruntled.]

It's Olympics time! Swimming! Diving! Beach volleyball! Why the heck aren't you watching any of it? All of us up in here have to watch the same stuff you do, y'know. If I'm going to be stuck with you from now on, can't you at least tune in to the finals? I can't believe I'm missing this!

[...]

... Okay, yeah, getting shoved in here is a lot better than being stuck with that freaky bear back at Hope's Peak. But still...!

[infer]

.. Could it be that your mun isn't really into watching the Olympics, Asahina-san..? [ that would be like the worst match up ever. ]

[donutsorgtfo]

But who wouldn't want to watch them? Seeing athletes from all around the world competing for the pride of their nations... it's the absolute pinnacle of sportsmanship and entertainment!

[infer]

Maybe it's just not really some people's sort of thing.. [ not like he's super into it either, after all. ] I don't think my own mun watches it a whole lot either. But you could probably convince yours to watch it at least a little more then, right?

[donutsorgtfo]

Yeah, I guess you're right... [grumblegrumble. She still doesn't like that idea.]

I hope I can. I already missed out on a few good races. I don't wanna miss all of it.

[infer]

There's still plenty more of it. After all, it's only just started..!

[mustlovedogs]

Aren't you supposed to be in that or something?

Aah, hey, they got motorcross or racing?

[donutsorgtfo]

If it wasn't for that stupid bear locking us up, I'd totally be there right now. [Monobear sure does love ruining lives, huh?]

Nah, no motorcross. They have cycling though. That's close enough, right?

[mustlovedogs]

Shit, seriously? That bastard ruins everything! [oh wait he doesn't even know anything about the Olympics, just going along with this because it sounds important...] ...What's the big deal about them anyway? Can't be that good if they don't got motorcross, what the hell's cycling?

[donutsorgtfo]

"What's the big deal"? [WOW THAT IS A HUGE INSULT RIGHT THERE.] It's all about sportsmanship! The pride of your nation! The total thrill of knowing you're going up against the best of the best in the whole world!

[SPORTS ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS, OKAY.] And cycling's... you know. Biking. Long-distance bike races!

[mustlovedogs]

Didn't mean it like that! Cool if you're in it and all, but just watching! Why's everybody all into it!

...Wow, sounds boring. No good without a motor on it!

[donutsorgtfo]

Sheesh, I can't really explain it to someone who just doesn't get it...

I wouldn't call it boring. Haven't you ever heard of the Tour de France? Those guys go across the whole country, just on bikes, over mountains and everything! Riding a motorcycle is easy, since the engine does all the work. But that? That's all pure, human strength! It's amazing.

[mustlovedogs]

[Oh, this is actually starting to sound good...]

Ah? Keep talking.

[lielielie]

Perhaps you simply have differing interests, Asahina-san.

[donutsorgtfo]

But why would she pick me up if we had such different tastes? Seems kind of strange, if you ask me...

[lielielie]

My mun doesn't have the same dream as I, and yet she still has picked me up. I don't think personal tastes matter in this kind of thing.

[donutsorgtfo]

Having the same interests and the same dream is a bit different, don't you think? I mean, it's not like I'm expecting her to become a world-class athlete or anything... it just seems like it would make this whole deal a whole lot easier.

[lielielie]

Well, do you know what her interests are? Maybe you could pick up her slack.

[donutsorgtfo]

Hm, that might be a good idea... I'm still pretty new here, so I don't know much about her...

[lielielie]

Try asking her.

[ogrewhelming]

Mine, at least, plans to watch the women's wrestling events. I am content with that much.

[donutsorgtfo]

See, why can't I have a mun like yours, Sakura-chan? Only one sport, that's all I ask! I'd settle for just one kind of race... heck, I'd be happy just watching the water polo matches.

[ogrewhelming]

In order for a fictional character and a player to become as one, the latter must research every aspect of the former.

Your mun is still new to you, is she not? If she wishes to become a master player of a super high-school level olympic swimmer, she must train in ways beyond simply practicing your voice!

[donutsorgtfo]

Exactly! I'm glad you understand. Everybody else is just saying that "oh well her tastes must be different, don't worry about it", but it's important! If she doesn't understand all parts of me, then I can't be at top condition.

[ogrewhelming]

There is more to you beyond your physical skills, but they are indeed a critical part of your life. Your straightforward nature, your gentle heart, the joy you take from striving to be the very best... Without understanding all of these qualities, it will be impossible to reach full understanding of what it means to be Asahina.

[donutsorgtfo]

[She laughs.] Geez, you're making me blush with all of those compliments...

... But it's nice. Some people might be weirded out by being read so easily, but it just shows that I'm being honest about my feelings. Nothing wrong with that, right?

[ogrewhelming]

There is not. You have nothing to hide about yourself. It's refreshing.

[neurosis_library]

You get out of Hope's Peak and thats seriously the first thing you're talking about?

[donutsorgtfo]

Of course! I could have been competing over there, if we didn't get trapped in that horrible place. There's no way it wouldn't be important to me.

[neurosis_library]

But shouldn't there be, like... something more important... like figuring out what happened to everyone?

[donutsorgtfo]

[Whoops, there goes that mood dive.]

Yeah, there's that... kinda hard to do that when my mun's doing her best to avoid spoilers, though.
