1, 2, 3, testing

[bubblegirl]

Uh... No offense, or anything, but this would probably be easy for both of us if you just picked a canon point, already. Honestly, I don't really want to go back to being ashamed of myself, but, y'know, you're in charge, unfortunately, so I can't really stop you if you wanna make me less confident.

Gotta admit, though, it was nice to be able to talk to Tony without wanting to disappear...

Canon point huh? ...Does that mean your mun is actually considering putting you in a game sooner or later?

[That's a bit more than he can say about his own mun.]

[bubblegirl]

I'm not sure, at this point. Maybe? She's kind of fickle about that kind of stuff, y'know? I think she's more worried about whether or not I should be disappearing whenever a cute guy talks to me.

[Because that is a valid thing to worry about.]

[trainsurdragons]

[He chuckles softly at that.]

Yeah? Mine had me in the back of her head for a while, and had to get some friends of hers to persuade her to finally make me a reality. And, well, here I am.

[With a sigh he gestures to himself.]

Though she's been doing nothing but voice testing for now. So I'm kinda in the same boat as you are- ..except she's already got my canon point sorted out.

[As valid as anything else I'd say!]

[bubblegirl]

Well, at least you're getting to go out? That's a good thing, right? 'Cause now you can go out and make friends, or something.

[Regardless of canon point, awkward Violet is still awkward.]

Ugh, that sounded totally lame, but you know what I'm trying to say, right?

[wintershepherd]

Confidence comes from the inside, and I'm sure a nice girl like you hasn't got anything to be ashamed about.

[bubblegirl]

Nice? Thanks...

[She glances aside, clearing her throat as her cheeks go pink. Even with her newfound confidence, it's still hard for her to take compliments.]

Do you... Do you always go around giving out compliments?

[wintershepherd]

Depends on whether you think it's a compliment if it's true?

From what I've seen, most people that come around this place are more interested in yelling at their muns than working with them. So I think it's great that you're being nice about it.

[bubblegirl]

Cut it out, you're embarrassing me.

Anyway, I could yell at her, I guess, but then she'd ignore me and I'd have a headache... So, not exactly the best idea.

[wintershepherd]

Sorry.

That... doesn't stop a lot of people. I feel kind of lucky that mine hasn't been very demanding so far.

What's your name?

[trainsurdragons]

No I- ...I get you! I think.

But you're right, it's good to actually be out somewhere at least, instead of stuck in my mun's headspace.

[ihearyouthink]

Wooow, you're a superhero!

[conversationalnorwegian]

Hey, nifty costume!

Almost reminds me of someone I know.

[myownhand]

Funny thing, my mun's havin' th'same issue. Not knowin' where t'take me from.

Says it'd be easier t'play me from the end of my "canon" but "more interestin'" t'play me from the middle.

[bubblegirl]

You think? That's better than nothing.

[She giggles at her own joke, only to quickly clear her throat a moment later.]

Right. A-anyway, I can't even imagine having to spend ages in my mun's head. I'd probably go crazy.

[bubblegirl]

It's okay. I'm just not used to that kind of stuff, y'know?

If they do get demanding, I'd say just go with it. Then again, it can be kind of hard to listen to people who don't respect you, so that might not work out too well.

Oh! Uh, sorry, I'm Violet.

[bubblegirl]

What? Uh... I guess?

[wintershepherd]

I understand... it can take some getting used to.

I hope it doesn't come to that. I'd like to keep us on good terms, I get the feeling it'll save a lot of headaches in the future.

Nice to meet you, Violet. My name's Jack.

[bubblegirl]

...

[Don't say it, Vi. Don't say it--]

Why are you blue?

[bubblegirl]

Misery loves company, I guess. My mun's leaning towards playing me from the middle, too. Same reason and everything.

[myownhand]

Well, from what I've heard there's plenty of miserable people in games, so we'll all be in it t'gether.

[JUST NEVER TRUST HER IF SHE EVER GIVES YOU A CAKE VI.]

[bubblegirl]

[Oh, hey, cake- WHY MERIDA, WHY?!]

Really? I was kind of hoping that once I got into a game things would slow down and be normal. Or as normal as it can get.

[bubblegirl]

Nice to meet you, too, Jack.

Uh, if you don't mind me asking, are you serious with that 'it takes getting used to'-thing? 'Cause you probably get compliments all the time, and I can't really imagine you getting all stupid and shy about it.

[myownhand]

I dunno. I think it depends on th'game really. I've heard some can be normal, but others can be scary. [Shrug] I'd prefer somethin' a bit more scary myself, I dunno if I could stand some place where nothin' happens.

[wintershepherd]

Sure I am. When you're used to being one way for a really long time, it's hard to just change the way you think.

Especially if things happen really quickly, like they did for me -- though for me it wasn't really about compliments, it was about friends.

[bubblegirl]

So, what? You were super unpopular one day and then you suddenly had tonnes of friends? I'm not dumb - nothing goes like that. Anyway, you're cool, or you seem like you are, so why wouldn't you have friends?
