new muse; voice-testing. possibly sending her somewhere, though heaven knows where.

You.

( Haruhi glares directly at her mundane, giving the evil eye. )

You haven't been focusing on me lately at all, have you? To you, it's all "but I have homework to do" or "I haven't roleplayed in ages"! ( There's a sigh before she continues. ) Excuses, excuses.

Sure, you haven't played in a while, but that means nothing! You made my account, right? And you even said it yourself: "I want to play Haruhi this time." After all, you didn't do all that well with your other stupid muses. Besides, I'm more important than all of those people combined, right?

So just find me a place to go to and get a move on already!

( And she ends her rant with a huff. )

I really don't want to fight Deus. [ You were bad enough, especially with Murumuru thrown in. ]

... Remember how you said the Diaries don't lie?

[madmadworld]

They don't lie when it comes to us. [But here...] We can't be sure what they'll say in a world like this.

It's always changing.

[observesthings]

That's kind of the point, Yuno. According to my Diary, this person can change the future more than both of us put together.

[madmadworld]

The future for her world or this world, Yukki. [She has actually thought this through.] While we're here, only certain strengths and talents matter.

[observesthings]

[ ... Damn it, Yuno. ]

... Fine. [ He can already see he can't talk her out of this. ] Just don't talk about what she can do. I think I'm stressed out enough without a Dead End to worry about.

[ And for the love of all Gods, keep Murumuru the hell away from her. If she shows up. ]

[madmadworld]

[For the first time since their conversation began, Yuno flinches.]

...you're mad. [She looks down at her Diary and frowns.] How would she do it? Do you know her powers?

[observesthings]

[ He sighs, and forces himself to lose the obvious frustration in his voice. ]

No, I'm not mad. I'm just worried, that's all. [ Reaching for her hand, now. ] We... probably shouldn't talk about that out loud. But if what we're feeling about her is right... she's like Deus. Maybe worse.

Which is why if Murumuru shows up...

[madmadworld]

I need to silence her. [Murumuru that is.] I will, Yukki. [She meets his hand halfway and squeezes his fingers.]

[observesthings]

Try to be gentle about it, okay? Besides Minene, Murumuru is one of the few people I know we can trust. [ And even that was a stretch, at least to him. Then again, the Murumuru he dealt with in the Survival Game was loyal to Yuno, not to Deus. It seemed like she was stabbing him in the back and was making a power grab, but it turned out there was more to it than that. ]

[madmadworld]

She only needs to be quiet. [Which, for Yuno, could mean death, but she doesn't mean that this time.

Because it's Murumuru.]

It's for her and our protection. She'll understand.

[observesthings]

That never stopped her before. [ At least as far as he was concerned. For Yuno, yes. ] She's more likely to listen to you, anyway.

[madmadworld]

I won't have to use words. [It's amazing how pliable people are when they're unconscious.]

[observesthings]

[ He doesn't like the sound of that one bit. And it shows. ]

Do I really need to point out why that might be a bad idea?

[madmadworld]

It will keep her silent. [Goodness, Yukki. Are you ever happy with her?]

[observesthings]

And make her mad at us.

[ Most of the time. Until she starts suggesting alienating the last few people they can trust and are still regularly involved in their lives. ]

[madmadworld]

Better her mad than all of us dead. [In all likelihood, she would probably just gag Murumuru somehow.]

I could kiss her.

[observesthings]

[ He was just about to comment on how "most of us" being dead isn't much better than "everyone dead," when she said that. ]

Y-You can't be serious!

[ Not like he's going to on a mass-murdering rampage, but kissing Murumuru? Sure, he was prone to jealousy too (though obviously not to the degree that she was), but... ]
