New muse~

[slaveoffreedom]

Miss mun, are you sure that you'd really like to bring me to a game? I'd be happy to be with Alibaba, Aladdin, Hakuryuu and others surely. Still, I'd like to continue my jouney to my homeland. I've yet to reach my goal, so can't you give up on that idea?

[Morgiana pauses for a while. The casual expression on her face doesn't change at all, as she examines the mun's motions. Bowing down slightly, she concludes her small speech.]

I thank you for showing your interest.

[exorcistinbloom]

Ah... muns are like that, sadly.

[ A quiet, melodic and wistful laugh as Shiemi sighs after. ]

... where's your mun planning to take you?

[slaveoffreedom]

I was only informed that it would be some kind of a dream world, even though I don't know of the concept completely.

[Blink blink.]

May I please ask how muns are like, generally?

[She's speaking rather formally, yes. Old habits never die.]

[exorcistinbloom]

Ah... well, they're stubborn. I don't think she's going to give up on getting you into a game, especially if your friends are already there.

[ A pause. ]

They also like doing things to us that we don't like, but... I haven't had to do a lot, so I can't say for sure!

[observesthings]

Trust me - it's next to impossible to get them to do anything you want them to.

[slaveoffreedom]

Mister, may you please explain what do you mean by that?

[Why is it that everybody is talking of muses as if they are slaves of their respective muns? She doesn't like the sound of this one bit. It's unsettling. Well, her mun is not scary or something, but...]

[observesthings]

At least two of the ones my mun is friends with are planning 'horrible things' at game I'm going to. And what's worse is that it excites them.

[ Seriously, they're worse than Deus. At least Deus was fair about his schadenfreude. ]

I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS

[sharif]

Ah, Morgiana! So I see you've been captured by this "mundane" figure as well!

[WHO SAID YOU COULD COME OUT OF THE HEADSPACE, JAMIL get back in there before you hurt someone]

1/2 OH GOSH, POOR MOR! ;~;

[slaveoffreedom]

[Morgiana's eyes widen at the sight of that particular person. One singe drop of sweat slides down her cheek.]

How are you still alive? Why?

[FFFF INDEED, JUST GO BACK TO WHERE YOU'VE BEEN HIDING, YOU EVIL CREATURE. ANYWAYS.]

2/2

[slaveoffreedom]

I wasn't captured. I don't have any chains.

[She's still not sure about that, though. You can tell this especially from her voice.]

The things she has to put up with ;A;

[sharif]

Still alive? What are you talking about?

[He only looks mildly curious at that though, shrugging it off. Guess who's from an early canon point so he's actually playable?]

Ah, but how would your mundane have taken you from my command, then? I don't recall selling you, my dear.

[happahero]

Hahaha these mundane people really do love to bite off more than they can chew. Still their ideas are fairly entertaining.

[Oh he knows of the darkness behind those ideas but he just doesn't care. As long as they don't get in the way of his goal to right the wrongness of his world.]

[slaveoffreedom]

Really? So, we are not slaves, are we?

[Morgiana is hopeful now. Well, she doesn't know the terror of a mun's mind yet. Don't ruin her by talking about the perverted ideas you think are fun.]

[happahero]

What? No no no of course not. We still have choices just not when it comes to actually ending up in other places.

[Well he might be perverted but he knows when to keep that in check. Especially around one of Masrur's kin. So here have a reassuring smile.]

I'LL TAG PROPERLY IN A MOMENT I JUST--

[fattibaba]

You should stay here with us! They look after you [ munch ] wonderfully.

... Is Hakuryuu a nickname for the big guy? Masrur, was it?

[slaveoffreedom]

[And so, Alibaba is fat again... Not that she's surprised at all.]

May I ask how it's possible that you don't know Hakuryuu?

[Is this Alibaba from the past or...?]

[fattibaba]

[ blink. ]

Ah, so it is Masrur!

[ no Alibaba no ]

Is Hakuryuu a pet name, or something?

[mothercomplex]

Lady Morgiana!

[ A MILLION THINGS TO SAY and he-- ]

... what's happening?

[slaveoffreedom]

Hakuryuu, you were here too?

[--and she is happy to see him. Talks can wait until they can brain out what to say.]

I'm not sure myself. I suspect we're in some kind of strange prison. Have you been here for a long time?

[mothercomplex]

Yeah.

[ geez why can't he express himself better around her, idiot ]

"Prison" is fitting for this place. [ and he's not gonna elaborate further because his evil mun is making him share headspace with his witch of a mother and the last thing he wants to do is seem unhappy around his beloved Mormor-- ]

... Are you afraid, Lady Morgiana?

[fraternize]

If she's bringing you to the same place that I reside, it's not as bad as it could've been.

[just sayin]

Once you're awake again, there will be no one to stop you from attempting to reach your goal.

[slaveoffreedom]

[Bingooo, Oswald~ She's probably going to the game you take part in. /o/]

Mister, what kind of a place do you reside?

[At least, she's been hearing reassuring things. She's easing up bit by bit. Even after seeing Jamil, she's not as troubled as she used to be anymore.

[Oh by the way, she makes a small move to hide the marks on her ankles. She won't let anyone see them.]]

[tentai]

It might not be an idea that you wish currently. But being brought into a game could yield you opportunities that you otherwise might never have.

[slaveoffreedom]

[Oh, another stranger. She hides the marks on her ankles once again.]

What kind of opportunities are there when you're in a game, mister?

[She's using an overly polite way of speech, by the way. It's not that she can help it.]

[amazingmagi]

I understand what you mean. I still have things to do in the Academy, but my mun really wants me to go on adventures.

[ a loud sigh because why are muns like that. ]

[slaveoffreedom]

Aladdin!

[She feels happy to see you here.]

I don't know why muns do that to us, though. Do you have any guesses about their reasons, if I may ask?

[Well, it's better than getting chained, but still...]
