Four months of inactivity? Someone's mun needs to pull himself together.
Mun. Is this really necessary? Yes, you were concerned about the other mun's reaction, but you've spoken to her and there is no problem. You are free to move on and get me into the next stage. Or if that is too hard, you can finish Venus Lighthouse for my younger self. The point is that sitting idle like this is no good for either of us. And it sets a horrible precedent if you branch out to a game with activity requirements.
And maybe if you had been more active, you could have noticed some of my canonmates around here instead of griping about how they don't come to you; I refuse to take any blame on that matter.

It seems like there are more of us running around lately, though, so your chances of running into someone you know are much higher!
no subject
Both thats, I mean.
Incidentally, my mun keeps giggling at your username.

...but I guess it's better than "fallsofflighthouses," which is what she almost named my journal.
[Icon keyword says it all, really.]
They think they're so funny when they're really not.
no subject
She did? But it was only one time!
Indeed. Mine keeps sending me into a universe with exploding radioactive cars, and then claiming Cure can't help with the radiation. [He shakes his head.]
no subject
It was only one time, but I guess that's what some people consider a "defining moment" for me... [She sighs heavily. If she could choose what she'd be remembered for, it certainly wouldn't be falling off the side of Venus Lighthouse.]
Exploding... radioactive... what? That sounds really weird... Why wouldn't Cure be able to help? Radiation alters the body to a state it wouldn't be in normally; Cure is meant to help restore the body to normal...
no subject
[She probably wouldn't choose what this Felix remembers her for, either. But he's trying not to think about that.]
I don't know. I think he thinks it's somehow a different kind of damage than injuries or poison.
no subject
[She wouldn't choose most things that most muns would come up with, really. Heck, she wouldn't even choose the things the people who make the games come up with, since they apparently can't be bothered to let her find the answers she wants.
...it's probably best that she doesn't realize that the Sheba this Felix knows is dead. Thankfully, she's used to reading minds for Felix, so she'll stay out of his.]
I can see why he might think that, but... in a way, isn't radiation just another kind of poisoning? A little bit of it seeps into your body and then your body starts breaking down. Unless I said "poison" or "radiation" instead of "it," you wouldn't even know the difference, that's how similar they are.
If anything Cure ought to be able to repair the physical damage the radiation does, though it might need to be cast again and again as the damage came back if it wouldn't purge the radiation...
no subject
Perhaps it's lucky that he's so slow.
no subject
...but really, where are you spending your time if those are the kinds of things that can almost happen...?
no subject
[What he's not saying is that the plot in question was to be heavily based on The Scarlet Pimpernel, and would involve other universes very little if at all.
The game, since Felix doesn't speak DW-code, is at
no subject
["Interesting" is one way to describe it, she supposes. The way he talks about being turned into a bird or a robot so nonchalantly makes her wonder exactly how many times it's happened to him...]
...what happened a year ago?
[Though Sheba asks that question, her mun is more interested in the details of that plot. ...and is also lurking the comm. Ooops.
Also her mun is sorry for how long this reply took - she got called in to work]no subject
[Some of the nonchalance comes from the fact that, to the best of his (or his mun's) knowledge, no one has ever been harmed or even inconvenienced for more than a couple of days by any Milliways holiday. And part of it may come from the fact that the first holiday he ever experienced there was the voluntary one, where he could choose from several transformation options. Also he never got turned into a tree, which would be all kinds of triggery.]
I've never been entirely sure. Things started getting strange, and gradually worse... the Elemental Stars appeared... a huge horde of monsters tried to destroy the place... everything started to fall apart... and then, suddenly, it was all fixed.
[And then he went and got drunk for the first time in a decade.
The plot in question was essentially an in-character justification of the move from Livejournal. The build-up was summarized and linked here (actually the last in a series of linksummaries, but they were cumulative), and the climax got similar treatment here. Pretty much all the muns were sleep-deprived at some point in the process.
*stealthily enables* *has been specifically wanting a Sheba there for years*Ha, this mun's got you beat for lateness of replying! Partly from sleep, and partly from reading through a lot of the plot stuff again.]no subject
[From the look on Sheba's face, it's pretty clear that if she'd been around when all that was happening, she'd have been joining him in getting drunk.]
It just... fixed itself.
[Her tone is one of disbelief. She's grown as used to the goings-on of the Tower as can be expected of someone who's been there for three months, so she's been able to come up with some reasoning as to why things there happen the way they do (even if the reasoning was somewhat flimsy), but she couldn't wrap her mind around something getting so out of hand only to spontaneously go back to the way it was.]
That is so weird. If that kind of thing is normal for you to deal with now, no wonder you spend most of your time at a bar.
[
late once again because of work, sleep, and... reading those things, ahahaha
]It's pretty interesting stuff. XD Does it always get that crazy though? Or was it just the one time for the move from LJ?
no subject
But no, that wasn't normal. And I wouldn't say I spend most of my time at the bar. It's one of the games that lets you go home, usually. [Which means that he was also dealing with the first Mourning Moon at the same time. He's got reasons to dislike his mun.
No, that was exceptional. Usually it's far more low-key, even during the major plots, and almost none of them are compulsory. Stuff like IMDB Flu (character thinks they're someone else their actor/VA/PB has played) and the Plot With Rocks In (the Discworld book Soul Music, writ fairly small) is more usual. Individual characters can also recruit each other to help out in their own worlds, and there are a few transformation holidays: April Fools, Halloween, sometimes Talk Like a Pirate Day, and the pup's-choice Cubefall in late May.]no subject
You've been able to return to Weyard? That's... lucky. [In the game she's in, a return to Weyard means... well, it's horrible enough that Sheba is fervently hoping her mun never takes a hiatus.] Have things changed much there? Is the world a better place now that Alchemy's returned?
[
Ooh, a wide variety of events... that sounds like a lot of fun!]no subject
Um. I'm not sure I would call it better, though it's not worse, either. People haven't changed, except that more of them are born Adepts. Most of the major upheavals and wars from Dark Dawn haven't happened on my Weyard, and my mun says he isn't planning on most of them. Apparently I was "AU" long before it was announced.
[
It is! And almost entirely player-driven, too. The mods are mostly for behind-the-scenes stuff.]no subject
I guess being an "AU" would make a pretty big difference... [Her voice trails off and she shakes her head, then smiles.] Sorry for asking a question like that. It must have seemed a little strange, huh? [He's "AU," so even if he says that Weyard is just fine, that doesn't mean her Weyard is. She wishes someone could give her proof that her world hadn't been destroyed, but thanks to the canon point she's been taken from for the game she was apped to, not only does she think it's gone, but she thinks it's gone because of what she and the others did.]
So... what are the differences? If you're "AU," that means there was a pretty big change, right? And if you were an AU before Dark Dawn was announced, it must be more than just those wars and uprisings not happening, because your mundane wouldn't have known about those when making the AU...
[
Hmm, sounds pretty interesting!]no subject
[He blinks.] I think you might be thinking of AU differently than my mun does. I wasn't created as an AU; Milliways doesn't allow that sort of thing. But my mun was doing worldbuilding and establishing history for several years, and much of the result conflicts with what ended up becoming canon.
[
I certainly like it.]no subject
...oh! Right, right, that makes a little more sense. So, what are things like in the world that your mun established? [She grins.] There's more Adepts, and a lot of the wars mentioned in Dark Dawn didn't happen... what else?
no subject
Well, apparently I should be aging more slowly. Vale was rebuilt, and Isaac and Jenna live there with their children. Their daughter has blue hair. [He thinks; surely there are more differences? That he's willing to mention, of course... Ah!] There are Psynergy Stones all over, which is probably the reason for so many Adepts. And no beastmen, just the werewolves we met.
[The blue-haired daughter was, if I remember correctly, based on Karis when all we had was that first poster and many people were assuming her to be Mia's daughter. I like the idea of elements not necessarily running in families.]
