New Muse?

[definedelusional]

 Yes, um, mun? ...Interesting way to address you. You might want to consider why you have a need to replace your name with a title....particularly one foreign to your cultural identity...

-Anyway. I understand that this need to control things,  even control other people, is very natural, quite possibly the result of being a younger sibling or overbearing parents, however, I must ask that i be allowed to go back to my work. If you want we can set up a schedule to discuss your problems, but right now there are some people I really need to help on a case. 

That and its a little unnerving how you managed to get me here in the first place....you are aware I work with the FBI, right?

Sorry but you have to consider the fact these muns are from an entirely different universe. Also time his a moot point here, when your mun sends you back you'll be back at the same point you left from.

[definedelusional]

Interesting. So you are suggesting that, rather than my timeline proceeding without me, it has instead been paused?

[tinfoil_angel]

I like to think of it more like a time machine, it's simpler to think about it that way for me at least.

[definedelusional]

A time machine? Really?

Wow.

Clearly I need to re-evaluate my situation. And perhaps my sanity.

[killerinpinknblack]

Sure does, Luki!

[definedelusional]

Funny? Do I?

[killerinpinknblack]

He asks silly questions too.

[killerinblacknpink]

Yep yep!

[genkireaper]

FBI? That certainly sounds like an important position...

If it makes things easier, being here and under control of your mun doesn't change anything that's to happen back home. I'd worry more about the kind of mun you have, rather than what needs to be done back home.

Sorry brain fizzle there

[definedelusional]

Sort of. It depends on who you ask. I personally like to think I'm useful.

And what do you mean, what 'kind'?

It's okay! I'm still sqeeing about a Sweets muse. xD

[genkireaper]

If it wasn't important, then it wouldn't a part of the FBI, right?

Ah, well... Different muns treat their 'muses,' that's us, in different ways. Some find amusement in causing the worst things to happen to the muse, or awkward event after another one. Some are lenient, and don't put too many obstacles in the way to see how you do. Then there's the ones that start by taking us from the most traumatizing moment and go from there.

[Thinking a bit more.]

Some don't so much put their muse into horrible situations, as much as they force them to be unable to help... Which could be considered as bad. It's not often we see really nice muns that usually only have the nicest of things happen, unless the person isn't used to it and overreacts and assumes it's a trick.



Just as a few examples.

=DD

[definedelusional]

I've got to tell you, that first part doesn't sound very good. I guess none of it does, actually.

Is your 'mun' like that?

OOPS wrong icon.

[wannayiffyn]

Oooh, another FBI agent? That's so cool!

[yeah there's a teenage girl with puppy ears making wide eyes at you, Sweets.]

[definedelusional]

Another? Have you seen more around?

Nice costume ears, by the way.

[wannayiffyn]

Only one, but I don't think he ever said his name...

Oh-- these? They're not a costume! [and to demonstrate, she flicks one, tilting her head with a goofy grin.]

[definedelusional]

O-oh. wow. So..if you don't mind me asking, what are you?

[thisboneconnects]

I can assure you Sweets, that these 'muns' consider us friends and/or equals. Some of them at least.

There are those outliers where they are very cruel or even think they're being witty, though it's cruel to everyone else.

Take my 'journal' name for example. It is a pun on both how I am slowly becoming able to connect to other people as well as the children's song 'this bone connects to that bone'. My previous name was 'notsofunnybones', as a joke that I am apparently not all that humorous (which I would disagree with, I think I am very funny) and the wrongly named 'funny bone' or humerus, even though it is the ulnar nerve that we strike.

[ hi there sweets. did you miss bones? I hope you have...

and where were you about 6 months ago when we needed you? jeez. ]

[definedelusional]

Ah, Dr. Brennan. You're here too. [Give him a moment to decide how he feels about that]

What evidence do you have that suggest they see us as equals? So far from my experience we are more like toys. Chess pieces, perhaps, in a game that they control. Our realm of control has been severely limited.

I wouldn't exactly call that equal.

[thisboneconnects]

[Clearly you should feel greatful. maybe. probably not.]

Well, I must factor into the equation that I, personally, have had a good 'mun'. As well as the Booth I've been 'pitted' against has one as well. She's done nothing other than mock my inability to connect to others -- but as I explained, she is simply finding herself extremely amusing.

I suppose you could say for every bad seed there is an equally good seed.

[definedelusional]

You're saying Booth is here as well? Being controlled by one of these mundanes? I can't imagine he'd be very happy about that.

[truthin_bones]

From what I have been able to discern, the term mun is actually an abbreviation for the word mundane, a person of little significance or interest. They utilize the title as a way to minimize their own role in the role playing process.

However, I would much rather be left to pursue my own work than be utilized as a distraction for my own... mun's entertainment.

[definedelusional]

And...Dr. Brennan again. Wait. There are two of you?

[truthin_bones]

It would not be the first time I have encountered myself within this sphere. Nor would this be the first time I have talked with you, Dr. Sweets.

It is... not something I enjoy thinking much about.

[definedelusional]

I would think not, considering your need to rationalize and compartmentalize the world around you.
