on getting his voice back after all these years

[magnificus]

Ah, hello.

It has certainly been a while since we last had a chat.

What spurred this on, then?

(And does that mean I might be written again? Into a game, perhaps?)

Comments

[practicality]

...Peter! This is a pleasant surprise.

[magnificus]

Su! It's good to see you.

[practicality]

I reckon it is. What have you been up to?

[magnificus]

Quite sure of yourself, aren't you?

[He laughs.]


Not much, honestly.

In fact, all these years of un-use and I feel a bit ... dusty.

[practicality]

I suppose you'd much rather an unfamiliar or unwelcome face greet you on your venture to this place, then?

[magnificus]

No, no, of course not.

A pleasant Susan is always welcome.

[Especially when she can get quite unpleasant as to be unwelcoming during one of her moods.

So says Peter.]

[practicality]

[ that is so untrue how dare you peter :( ]

Thank you. I've always thought so, myself. [ of course, she's just teasing him, though! ]

So. Dusty, are you? You look rather well, to me.

[magnificus]

[He loves you Susan, really!

But he's got references.]


Thank you.

[Grin.]

It's a bit like I've woken up from a very long sleep.

[practicality]

[ his references are invalid and most probably outdated. hmph. ]

I suppose your mun ought to be thanked for waking you up, but... [ how does she even say it? ]

...I don't know. I don't trust these muns. I've no reason to.

[magnificus]

[It's true. His reference also mostly comes in the form of Edmund, and we all know how biased he is.]

On that we can definitely both agree on.

... they can be rather ... [Pause.] Flighty? Disloyal?

I was once rather important in my mun's head ... and then a new headvoice showed up and I was being tossed aside like some useless toy.

[practicality]

[ ...edmund doesn't count :\ ]

I can't ever imagine anyone tossing you aside, Peter. You can be quite... [ loud ] ...persistent, after all.

[ pause. ] Though sometimes I do think being tossed aside in favor of someone new can be quite... a relief in itself, don't you think?

[magnificus]

[Loud?

Him?

LIES.

But he does laugh.]


Not if it means years between being written for again.

[practicality]

[ no they aren't lies for she has her own resources :3 ]

You're telling me you'd much rather be here, suffering the attention of your mun and all that can entail?

[magnificus]

I suppose it might be a arrogant for me to say 'I can take it' ...?

[But he's technically High King and all that, soooo.]



Well, when you put it that way.

[practicality]

No, it isn't. It is, after all, the truth.

It's just... it's rare for muns to not want any of us to suffer, isn't it? Almost as if they thrive in it.

[ineuphony]

Oh, it's you, Peter.

[magnificus]

That's true.

And it's always far worse when I don't have you and Ed and Lucy around.

... which was the case last time.

[magnificus]

Hello.

Well, don't sound so pleased to see me on my account.

[ineuphony]

( she giggles. )

Hehe, sorry.

( then she makes a bigger smile this time. )

Hi, Peter! -- Is that better?

[practicality]

[ she sighs. ] I know. I'm well aware of how difficult things are especially when the four of us aren't together. It's all Lucy and I can do to manage, where we are.

[magnificus]

Much.

[He grins.]

How d'you know me anyway?

[magnificus]

And where are you?

Is Lu all right?

[Yep. Time for Big Brother mode.]

[ineuphony]

You used to be in my game some time back. But, we only talked briefly.

[magnificus]

I do hope I was nice.

Were my sisters and brother there too?

[practicality]

...abaxcity. It's a city of perpetual night. It's not... it never was a suitable place for any of us to be in, and yet our muns thought it fit to place us there anyway. As such we often suffer the consequences for it.

And Lucy's well - or as well as one can be, in that city. I do my best to look after her.

[ ...just. don't ask about susan herself, because she's currently dead, there :\ ]
