Possibly looking... spoilers maybe in comments, just in case

[icanfixit]

Jiminy Jaminy! Am I reading that subject line right? You're... looking for a home for me?

[He straightens up a little and tries to put on a stern face.]

You know my home is 'Fix-it Felix Jr.' ma'am. I can't just up and leave it! I also can't leave Ralph and the others behind -- they need me!

...Perhaps you should reconsider this thought you have in your noggin.

'sup 3d animated movie buddy?

[myownhand]

Och, you sound just like my mum.

A change in scenery couldn't possibly hurt.

you know it /fist bump

[icanfixit]

I like venturing into games as much as the next avatar, but I just can't completely leave! I have to make sure my game doesn't get unplugged!

A lot of people are counting on me and my friend, Ralph, there!

OH and spoilers are fine. :] I saw the movie last week!

[myownhand]

[...you just said a lot of things that Merida did not follow....]

Game? Unplugged? What are y'talkin' about? Y'make it sound like people'll be killed if y'aren't there.

Cool! Thanks for the heads up!

[icanfixit]

That's... pretty much what happens.

[Oh right, some people aren't familiar with his lingo, and where exactly he comes from.]

Well you see, the world my friends and I come from depends on everyone doing their part in that world. If someone isn't there... we get unplugged.

NP!

[myownhand]

[A long pause as she thinks about what you've said, a frown overtaking her features.]

That's awful.... There's nothin' y'can do t'fight back? T'change th'rules?

[icanfixit]

[He lowers his head and slumps his shoulders.]

Nothin' really. Once the game is unplugged, everything, and everyone, inside it disappears forever.

So that's why I'm trying to convince my mun to change her mind!

[myownhand]

Would your mun really let that happen? Let all those people die?

My mun says that in most cases time is sort of... frozen back home. That y'can return right back t'where y'left off in most cases.

[mantichora]

You might want what you want, little man, but from what I've heard that rarely has a thing to do with what our minders have in store for us.

[perimetercheck]

The way I understand it most of these "Games" mean that your game is-- paused, while you're not there. Like someone has the 'insert new quarter' countdown at hundreds of seconds and nobody is pushing the button to get through them.

Don't rightly know if that's how it works, but... [ She shrugs. ]

[icanfixit]

Frozen?

[Well the worry starts to fade away from his face at that point.]

That's amazing! I didn't know muns had the power to do somethin' like that.

[icanfixit]

But my mun's a great gal! This is a partnership after all. We pull our own weight, even in the choices we make.

[Sure, Felix. Sure.]

[icanfixit]

The game's paused?

[He takes off his hat to itch the top of his head with the back end of his hammer thoughtfully.]

These muns make me flabbergasted in what they can do with us and our worlds. [Felix places his hat back on his head.] But I'd be bad for leavin' Fix-It Felix when there's no real reason to!

[myownhand]

[She nods excitedly.]

That's why I want t'get out and stretch my legs. Don't y'think it's amazin' that we can leave our homes, meet new people, go new places-- with out havin' t'worry what's goin' on back home?

[Sounds like a perfect vacation to Merida.]

[icanfixit]

[He slowly smiles at the idea and twirls his hammer in his hand before resting it back in his holder.]

I guess I do deserve some kind of vacation with gaming for so long.

[mantichora]

Is that so? And I'm sure she lets you have a say in the decisions she makes in her life day-to-day, too.

Or is it mostly the other way around? Interesting 'partnership'.

[icanfixit]

N-No! It's not like that at all! Her life is her own, and she has big responsibilities to attend to in which I can't really give my two cents.

But I'm there for support! That's most important.

[mantichora]

I see. And how much of that support do you think she really uses? Or is that just what you tell yourself about to make yourself feel better.

[perimetercheck]

Their powers are amazing. And infuriating. [ She doesn't really know how to handle it. She likes being the one in charge, most of the time. ]
