That moment when muse is busier than mun

[collectedmemories]

Mun you're so sweet, I'm excited to play with you too!

But I still have to do my work, I can't just leave Baby Tooth and the others to do it all. Oh! Soccer player in Berlin, both front teeth!

[Right, what was she saying again?]

Sorry, but I can't always be having fun!

[chaosbound]

Does it count if you're having fun at work, then?

[collectedmemories]

Well, yes! I do have fun when I'm doing my work. It's what I love doing the most.

[logic_and_magic]

...You...collect teeth?

[That's more than a little bizarre]

[collectedmemories]

Of course! I am the Tooth Fairy after all!

[logic_and_magic]

I did not know faeries often collected teeth.

[collectedmemories]

[Wait...if he's never heard of her then how...]

Well...not all fairies do. Just me and my little ones, we collect the teeth that children have lost and leave a coin!

[logic_and_magic]

[Blank stare.]

That sounds like something a mother would tell their child.

[collectedmemories]

That is how I started to become believed in. Just because a parent tells a child a story, doesn't mean the story isn't true.

[logic_and_magic]

[Forgive Crown if he doesn't believe that.]

Well, even so, all my teeth were thrown out when I lost them and there were no coins given for losing them.

[collectedmemories]

[Did she miss a child? How could that be? She was always so precise and was never late!]

Why would you throw them out! All of those teeth had precious memories, each of them has a significant purpose. The coin was a reward for loosing them!

[logic_and_magic]

Precious memories?

[He's not really believing it but again, why would she lie about something that sounded so absurd?]

My father had done it mostly. He said there was no point in keeping something that showed when I was weak.

[Not that he gets along with the man anyways.]

[collectedmemories]

But...memories are what keep you strong. They keep you going when you're at your lowest point.

[logic_and_magic]

Memories are not what keep me going.

[collectedmemories]

But they are important. Everyone's memories are cherished.

[logic_and_magic]

Memories are no good when those who you care about are in the present.

[kingofnightmares]

Play with your mun?

[He chuckles, shrugging his shoulders.]

It's the other way around, Toothfairy. [As Pitch is slowly gathering at this point.]

[collectedmemories]

[Oh what a pleasant surprise. She gives him a mix of suspicion and confusion.]

What do you mean?

[kingofnightmares]

You're their little puppet. Surely you've caught onto that by now.

[He lifts his hand, black sand swirling around in his palm, forming a puppet. His other hand lifts up, black 'strings' hanging from his fingers, down to the puppet.

Pitch manipulates the puppet a little before crushing it between his hands.]

Sure it's all fine and dandy at first, but they control your fate in the end.

[collectedmemories]

[She's a bit disturbed by the little show he just put on.]

It can't really be that bad, Pitch. She'd never do anything horrible.

[kingofnightmares]

[He gives her a dry look.]

Do you honestly believe that? All of these muns play innocent at first, until they find the perfect situation. The perfect situation to turn your world upside down.

[collectedmemories]

A perfect situation? How bad could that possibly be?

[She's genuinely shocked right now.]

[kingofnightmares]

[Pitch neatly folds his hands behind his back, walking around her, tilting his head thoughtfully.]

Well, no the perfect situation for you. They'll find whatever gets under your skin and use it against you.

[His own mun has already started to do that, but he shakes his shoulders of the thought briefly.]

They will break you.

[wallcrawler]

Y'know, tall, dark, and dim up there's not far off. Most of 'em do try to find ways to mess with you, some worse than others.

Course, they could also jump on this whole "shipping" thing, so have fun with that when it happens.

[collectedmemories]

Oh she wouldn't do that! But what's "shipping"? I've never heard of that before.

[wallcrawler]

The short version is that they try finding you a date. And usually can't keep their mouths shut about who'd work best.
