SUDDENLY NEW MUSE

[partnerincrime]

Hey, mun!

[SIGH]

Down here?

Much as I appreciate somebody finally seeing my finer qualities, I'm not so sure about this 'muse' thing. If I'm stuck in here, how is a girl gonna do what a girl's gotta do? And on those lines - do you know how hard it is to gain an inch of ground with the big guy? And then just as I was finally making some progress you grab me like I was a prize in some giant cosmic crane machine and stick me in your brain? How on Earth am I EVER going to get him to take me under his wing now? Barring the obvious difficulties - aka him in GENERAL - we have the minor setback of me being in here, while he's out there.

Besides, this entire thing really doesn't seem like my cup of tea. There's... other things to do. Meals to... cook and... books to... read and... general... improvements to... myself! And my... general outlook! And... things! Yeah, lots of important things. So, if that's gonna be all....

What do you mean I can't leave?

You too, huh? [A very annoyed looking babs is looking at you.]

One minute I'm swimming in the ocean, the next I'm on an island of ghosts.

Sorry, have a horrible AU in which Harry Potter was raised as Dick Grayson.

[dickandharry]

Oh come on. You're not really gonna let a little thing like this stop ya?

[partnerincrime]

Oh. Wow. Well, this is weird.

My mun hasn't even decided on my pull point but yeah, it was something a little like that.

Well, it's certainly interesting

[partnerincrime]

Stop me? No. Slow me down? Maybe. Of course, I'm not entirely sure how I could avoid that, because at the moment I don't have much of an idea how to spring myself. Trial and error, I guess...?

Because a reality warping abomination is exactly what she needs right now.

[controledfreak]

[Oh, and do mouse over the little bobbing icon for a quick translation!]

This is due to the intricacies of your existence. Your very embodiment is the manifestation of that person's psyche. Every thought, every mannerism, every conceivable act you can do or will ever do is a construct of their will. To be in their employ is torment, and to be out of it is to cease existing altogether.

This is all fairly basic, however, I don't understand why anyone would be alarmed by this fact. Your creator is thus character of yet an even greater entity too.

hahahahaha

[partnerincrime]

... Riiiiiiight.

So tell me, are you always this weird, or is this a special occasion?

Re: hahahahaha

[controledfreak]

Yes.

To both questions.

HEHEHEHE

[partnerincrime]

Special occation? Really? I'm scoring fans? Awesome! It's about ti-

So what did all that mean, anyway?

[acro_bat_ic]

Trust me, dude. It gets weirder.

Did anyone tell you there's a robin?

[partnerincrime]

Robin? As in "Hood", "first of spring", or "Christopher"?

Because I can tell you already that I don't think I could handle suddenly meeting Eeyore.

[acro_bat_ic]

As in Bats gets another partner!

Who he doesn't make stalk him, by the way. [The things you learn in games.]

[girlfriend_beyond]

You might be surprised. Sometimes you can accomplish more in this space than wherever your mun plucked you from.

[partnerincrime]

What??

Seriously??

Okay, not cool.

... he really doesn't make - what, her? It is a her, right? - earn her place like I - uh, we - had to?? Gosh! Next thing you know he'll be letting Robin into the Batlair or whatever he has, and telling him his secret identity! Information which I still have not been privileged with.

[partnerincrime]

The problem with that is that basically everything I want to accomplish is back at the site of the plucking.

[acro_bat_ic]

Apparently? Bats adopts him.

Which... okay, cool of him, but come on! He won't even tell us his name!

[girlfriend_beyond]

I bet your mun could find you a game where you can take what you accomplish back with you.

[partnerincrime]

You're joking!

What about me? I mean, we've got matching uniforms and everything! That, I might add, I painstakingly made myself. Doesn't that count for anything these days?

Even our names sound better together! Batman and Batgirl have a theme! They're- they're intrinsically linked on a fundamental level! And Batman finally decides to get a sidekick and it's some kid named Robin?

... and wait, Robin is a boy...? His parents must really hate him.

[acro_bat_ic]

We had to make it in, like, an hour. [Before trying to save Pam.] ...Whichis totally not the point.

We worked our butts off to be his sidekick, and then he suddenly adds someone else to the roster? And names him Robin. Which makes no sense. I mean, at least batboy is something - even if we should be batwoman...

...But hey. apparently we get to train more batgirls?

[partnerincrime]

No, see, it's back there. As in it's a person, and he's not here. I mean sure, I could probably do some pretty cool stuff in a place that seems to have as few rules as this does, but that's not really what I'm aiming for.

[partnerincrime]

Still made it though. And- yeah. Exactly.

[She sighs]

I know, right? I bet they'd take us more seriously if we'd gotten Batwoman to stick in the beginning.

Whoa, we do? All right, that almost makes up for it. Who needs Batman anyway? An army of Batgirls is a much better idea.

[controledfreak]

What do you mean, "what do you mean?" That was all pretty obvious, wasn't it? Unless you are an idiot.

[acro_bat_ic]

I know, right? This is going to be epic.

...Maybe we could start up a whole team. See Bats ignore that.

[girlfriend_beyond]

Why? It's not just because of a boy, is it?

[partnerincrime]

Oh- Well, uh... not exactly...

Iiiiiiit's a little complicated.

[partnerincrime]

Wouldn't matter if he did try. After all, this time it'd be him who was out of the loop. It'd serve him right, after all this time.
