On possibly going to montauk_1_allende_18

[childofthemoon]

I...

You know what, when you picked me up, I thought this would be fun. Getting out of Storybrooke, seeing new places. Hopefully with my friends, because... yeah I'd hate to lose the lot, I kinda absolutely love them. But, well, it sounded good. I had it all figured out, you know? See new worlds, flirt with some cute guys, make new friends, find old friends, it'd be cool. 

Now you're... sending me there? 

Some... ruin of a city, teeming with monsters, with my wolf-form completely out of control - and, oh, guys who kill folks like me for a living? I can't believe you. 

And here I was, thinking you liked me.

Muns have a very strange way of showing affection.

[littlehat]

[He looks sympathetic, big eyes wide.]

Your mun's sending you somewhere that dangerous? Are you going to be okay?

[childofthemoon]

Tell me about it. This one keeps cackling about how I can set up a diner in that... that warzone. If I survive.

Frankly, think she's lost it.

[ichoosefight]

Mine keeps getting excited about how miserable my ex and I are making each other. It's sadism, I'm telling you. They get off on this crap.

[childofthemoon]

I...

[Oh come on, he looks like a kid. She can't tell a kid that she's probably going to be mutilated or something.]

I'm tough. I'll probably make it.

[... Maybe.]

[littlehat]

[That doesn't sound good, either.]

Maybe you'll make friends with some people, and you can all keep each other safe.

[childofthemoon]

Ugh, that's low. Share a plate of fries and war stories about our puppeteers?

[ichoosefight]

Throw in some mashed potatoes and sister I'm yours.

[childofthemoon]

I'm a werewolf. Not sure that's in the cards, exactly.

[Chances are she'll kill one of them, if they don't kill her first. Sure would be nice to have a mun who'd send her in there with her cloak, or at least some semblance of control.]

[childofthemoon]

Coming right up.

[Working at a diner sure has some advantages. There you go, dear, a plate of steaming deliciousness.]

[littlehat]

Oh.

[He looks down at his hands.]

Well, I, uh. I hope you'll be okay. M-my name's Vivi, by the way.

[childofthemoon]

I'm Ruby. And... thank you, Vivi. You're a sweetheart.

[ichoosefight]

[ Oh wow she really does love you. ]

So, I work on this prison barge, and every other week or so something crazy happens. First week on board? We all start bursting into songs about our feelings. Mun has the option of sitting it out, of course. Instead, I get to start singing about how I feel about my ex being on board.

[littlehat]

[He blushes, though it's hard to tell.]

I-It's nice to meet you, Ruby.

I guess I'm lucky. I know when I'm going to die, so my mun doesn't feel comfortable sending me places. Just the one, so far.

[childofthemoon]

Singing - wait, you're kidding, right? You've got to be. I mean, the topic is bad enough, but that she forced you to sing about it... that just takes the cake. What the hell, right?

[childofthemoon]

That's...

[Hold on.]

Wait, what - You're going to die?

[ichoosefight]

Hand to god. An altered version of Dog Problems by the Format. Bird Problems, because he went by Robin when we started dating.

She's hilarious. [ The sarcasm, it hurts. ]

[littlehat]

Black Mages don't live for very long.

I-It's okay. I'm glad to be with my friends for however long I have.

[childofthemoon]

You're a very brave and amazing little guy, Vivi.

You know what... Instead of me whining about that little game I'm gonna be tossed into, why don't I whip up something nice for you. Ever had a burger?

[childofthemoon]

She must be very proud of herself. Damn. Mine has been lovely to me in these... meme-things? So I guess she feels like pulling out the big guns for finally sending me somewhere. Can't believe her nerve.

[littlehat]

[He thinks, then shakes his head.]

No, I don't think so. What's it made of?

[ichoosefight]

I don't get a whole lot of memes. I guess she's getting her fill torturing me in games. They seem to like high stakes, or something.

[arsmedicamenti]

[she hesitates on what to address first, because a place called Storybrooke? Sounds right up her alley! (it's really not, Estelle.) But some of it didn't make much sense to her, so she'll try to be encouraging instead.]

Um!

You...you must be strong! Don't let them have their way!

[totallynotbatman]

Don't you know? That's how muns show love.

[childofthemoon]

Yeah. I wish they'd get a sip of their own medicine.

So, what's up with that barge aside from weird bouts of karaoke?
