Just voicetesting along.

Dear Mun,

I see what you're doing here. You're bored. I get it. I've been bored before. Actually, I'm bored right now. But see, it's different: I like being bored! Bored-Buffy-time is great! It means the world isn't currently ending, for one thing. Want more bored-Buffy-time! I don't get it a lot.

So, if you could just... leave me to my blissful boredom, that'd be great. Buuut you're not gonna do that, are you? They never do. Okay, fine. Let's get this over with. I'm ready. Slay me.

God, I'm just so lucky you're not thinking about the whole going steady with a game right now, huh? 'Cause then I'd have to devise a diabolical plan to make you fall out of love and break up with it. And those are so much work. Usually with collateral damage. And actually, I have that with everything, so that would be a very good reason to just... leave me alone!

...

Fine, fine, I'm done complaining. Let's talk.

Right. Do I really need to count all the times you've nearly been eaten, or made into a hellbride or whatever? [Said with a teasing tone. You know she doesn't mean it badly.]

Yeah, well, that's what I mean. Shouldn't be bothering me if she can't even do that.

[littlemissnobody]

Those times didn't count, okay! [Just because it's teasing doesn't mean she can't protest]

But how is she gonna know if she doesn't even try?

[at_stake]

'Course they count. Remember, you die, it's on my book. [And, sob, she's only half-joking here. Would never forgive herself if she let Dawn die. NEVER.]

She could just go do that "canon-review" thing some more.

[littlemissnobody]

Like you get to lecture me on that, Miss I-died-twice.

Ooh, that's what mine's doing! Well, not right now this second but it's been a thing. We're not done yet but we nearly have enough under our belts to get things moving on the whole tower front.

[at_stake]

I think a breakdown of interdimensional barriers due to a hellgod counts as "extenuating circumstances"! And even the Master wasn't just any old vamp!

[Glares at... she doesn't exactly know what to glare at.] Your mun had better know what she's doing. Or else.

[littlemissnobody]

Okay, fine, but it still wasn't any more fun for the rest of us. Either time.

Nothing's going to happen, okay? I'll be fine.

[at_stake]

[Softly:] I know.

[Then, back to form.] We could still devise that diabolical plan together!

[littlemissnobody]

What diabolical plan?

[at_stake]

To make the muns forget about this whole getting-with-a-game thingy.

[littlemissnobody]

I'd rather be in a game than just left up here to rot.

[at_stake]

[... pout.]

We wouldn't be rotting! We could just... be here. Hang around. Or something.

[littlemissnobody]

And do what? Maybe it's different for you. I don't know how many you're sharing with. I just know this committing to a game thing is better for me and my mun.

[at_stake]

If you say so.

[Wibbly pout of but-I'm-just-worried!]

[littlemissnobody]

I do. I mean, if you weren't so dead-set on this casual non-going steady thing I'd say you could come with. But you are, so I'll deal.

[at_stake]

[Smiles.] I'd make an exception for you.

Seems like it's my mun who's not up for it, though. Not right now.

[littlemissnobody]

Oh well that's okay. At least your mun actually listens to her limits. And we still get to hang out here and stuff so that's something.

[at_stake]

Exactly! It's not so bad, all things considered.

[littlemissnobody]

Ooh! Is she testing you out anywhere else? I hear there are these meme things that all the cool kids are doing these days...not that my mun ever pays attention to them lately but still.

[at_stake]

I've been to some of those! Your mun should totally pay attention!

[littlemissnobody]

Really? I'll get her right on that. I think it partly has to do with not knowing where they all hide since we moved to this new site. But I'll get her trained.

[at_stake]

Seems like a lot are getting posted on bakerstreet. That's the only place I -- my mun knows of.

[littlemissnobody]

Great! I'll get her to check it out!
