going to distantskies!

[deadpans]

Well? Aren't you supposed to start writing that application now if you really wanted to send me there?

[ Crossed his arms over his chest, clearly wasn't impressed. ]

I guess it's better than the places you'd sent me before, though. The city- world thing looks nice and I can go home whenever I wanted.

No, it's not like I'm "excited" or anything. You're imagining things again. I'm just...glad that I wouldn't be stuck somewhere lame. Like London, for example. Or Death City. You have dubious taste when it comes to choosing a home for me. [ Frowns. ] Now start "conquering" that app thing. You're really lazy ever since the holidays started, you know?

Comments

[deadpans]

Thanks. Mun says you should come, too. Actually, she's trying to enable almost everyone.

[unshwazzenone]

My mun says she'd consider it if she weren't already apping too many people to too many places. Apparently I'm getting stuck in a video game--if I get accepted? [She wrinkles her nose.]

She says she'll look into it if that doesn't work out, though.

[deadpans]

In a video game? That sounds pretty...interesting. [ Except that by "interesting" he means "horrible". ] In any case, my mun says that it's okay. She'd glad if you could join me, though. Like she's afraid I'm going to get lonely or something.

[ Frowns a little. ]

[unshwazzenone]

Yeah. A universe-saving-or-destroying video game... or something. It's really confusing, even if she insists it's been "simplified."

Will you get lonely, really?

[deadpans]

I think I've heard of that one. Someone I know told me about that when I was still in Death City. [ Yeah it's Jade Harley who's like...his little sister figure. Sort of. ] Was it called Sburb or something along that line?

No, of course not. I'm just fine on my own.

[unshwazzenone]

Sburb! That's the one. Yeah, there are a couple of muses who know a lot about it floating around here, but even they don't know how the differences are going to affect it all.

You've gotta have somebody though, right?

[deadpans]

From what I've heard, it sounds like it sucked. A lot. I mean, "play or we would destroy your planet with meteors"? I don't know about you, but I don't think it sounds like a good choice. [ In fact, he would probably try to find a way to destroy the wretched game with meteors if he could. ] Mun says they come from the "canon". And it sounds like the internet. Except for the meteors part.

[ After all, the internet is unpredictable too! The largest anarchy mankind has ever sanctioned, in fact. ]

Not really. I have my dæmon, remember? [ Iceland, that does not count as "other people"... ]

[unshwazzenone]

Lucky for us, the meteors stop once we arrive in the game. So our planets aren't destroyed.

[She would be much more upset if they were.]

I don't... think talking to yourself really counts. Even if it's an extension of yourself.

[deadpans]

But what if you lose the game? Not that game, I mean. Speaking of which, though, you and your mun had just lost the game.

[ trollface.jpg. By the way, he made a face at what she said next. ]

Who said so? The dæmon is the "ideal companion", you know. [ He doesn't realise that he made it sounds like...something else. ]

ASLKFJKASLD I HATE YOU LMFAO

[unshwazzenone]

I dunno what happens if you lose--

[asfdlksahdflasdf jkl; she just got it and is now glaring only half-seriously.]

Ha ha, very funny. Git.

[She does, however, snicker at that last bit.] Bit of a wanker, are we now?

[PUNS. Crass and inappropriate puns.]

wow h8rs gonna h8

[deadpans]

[ THAT'S THE REACTION HE AIMED FOR he's trying his best not to laugh. ]

Don't take it too seriously, the game's existence was still debatable anyway. [ Snicker. ] As for Sburb, well, the girl who told me about it said that if you lose, your universe will get a jackpot in form of meteors. So don't lose, or something.

[ In which he >:| - ing at her. ]

Bit of a dirty mind, are we now? [ RIGHT BACK AT YOU. ]

[unshwazzenone]

Eiríkur. I'm thirteen--at least at the moment. [She shoots a glare in the general vicinity of where she thinks her mun might be.] Do you really expect me not to have a dirty mind?

And I guess I'd better not lose, because I just got accepted.

[deadpans]

When I was your age, I don't have a dirty mind.

[ But that was like, more or less 500 years ago. Besides, he's lying. He'd written tons of R-rated stuff when he was her age. Mostly about murder, revenge, betrayal, with a dash of adultery. Yeeeep. ]

Congrats. Don't lose, just destroy the game first if needed.

[unshwazzenone]

Well then you're a big old prude.

[Lying liar who lies!!]

Destroy the game? But I'll be in it.

pardon the journal, for the sake of more icons

[islensk]

I'm not that old, and I can't say I'm a prude.

[ Makes a face. He will never feel old okay. ]

In that case, find a way to get out first and then destroy it.

absolutely not a problem, bb. ♥

[unshwazzenone]

[She'll just roll her eyes, okay.]

I don't think you can get out. There's a girl up here in the headspace who basically tried everything.

♥!

[islensk]

Everything everything? Even blowing the whole game? [ ... ] In that case, I don't think you had any other choice aside from playing along and win it.

[unshwazzenone]

Yes. A girl named Rose tried to "break" the game and she ended up pretty much brainwashed by really creepy things called horrorterrors. [shudder, Rose's descriptions are not fun, even if they are systematic and painfully clinical.] So yeah... I guess we have to win.

But the goal of the original game was to create a new universe for the players, since their worlds were destroyed... in this game, our worlds weren't destroyed. So I don't know exactly how to win it.

[islensk]

Horrorterrors? Another girl- troll girl told me that the horrorterrors are, er, cute and harmless monsters. [ ... ] I forgot the exact words, but something like that.

[ Yeah he's friends with Feferi too, they hang out together a lot, this is perfectly normal. ]

[unshwazzenone]

Maybe to her...

[deadpans]

Yeah, I agree. Their name itself doesn't sound very pleasant, if you ask me. [ Horrorterrors. Where's the cute and fluffy in that? ]

[unshwazzenone]

[Nowhere, that's where.]

Well, no. Neither does "gods of the Furthest Ring."

[islensk]

What about them? [ Jade told him about it, but only in passing. ]

[unshwazzenone]

They're the same thing, aren't they?

[deadpans]

Are they? I thought that they were two entirely different things.
