Because sudden nostalgia kick

[numbuh_one]

...

...You must be joking...

Are you out of your mind? What makes you think that I would ever want to be controlled by an adult?! That would go against every principle of the Kids Next Door! Not to mention you keeping me trapped here in your...your...headspace, and using me for your ridiculous whims is just another form of adult tyranny that I would be more than happy to fight.

So we can do this the easy way, and you just forget this whole thing...or we can do this the hard way.

...What? No, I don't want you playing the spank-happy-vampire version of me! That wouldn't even make any sense! That was just a one-time thing, and we took care of that problem a long time ago!

...I don't want you playing any version of me! I just want you to let me out of here! I've got more important things to do than to sit here and entertain you...like taking care of those "centers"...Yes, like the one you work at. Oh, I know what you do...forcing kids to go to your center after school and making them do additional work. That's torture in its cruelest form.

...You know, on second thought, maybe I will stick around for a while...just to keep an eye on you. Might as well make sure you don't ruin any more children's lives...

So they got you too, huh, Numbuh One?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

"Adults are just kids grown up anyways."

Walt disney said that.

It's hard at first getting used to having a mun, but it can be lost of fun actually.

[numbuh_one]

Numbuh Five! Oh, thank goodness there's someone sane around here!

How long have you been here?

[numbuh_one]

Hmph...that whole "growing up" thing is the problem...

I really rather doubt that...

[milletian]

I dunno. They don't really seem to ruin lives all that much. ...Er, the muns, anyway. Adults are another kettle of fish entirely.

[numbuh_one]

...You should meet my mun...and possibly her friends. They seem to enjoy ruining muses' lives...

[numbuh_five]

Yeah, there's not to many of us around here. S'nice to see you.

...Come to think, Numbuh Five's been around for three years or so. Was in some crazy place called Mayfield for a while. Your adult had you some place yet?

[numbuh_one]

...I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not...

[An aggravated sigh.] I don't know...I don't think she's got any real plans for me other than me just being here...There was something about maybe sending me to some...Digital World, but there's little chance of that actually going through...

But really, three years? How did manage to put up with it for so long?

[humanhero]

Hey dude, s'not so bad once y'get used to your mun. 'Fraid you're probably stuck in that headspace of theirs though.

Just think of it as a whole new adventure! That's what I do.

[numbuh_one]

Ugh...It wouldn't be so bad if she wasn't so old...She's practically 30!

But then, I guess it could be worse...least she's not a teenager...

Well...adventures are good and all, but...she could have at least given me my team to work with...

Hover text ahoy!

[numbuhthree]

Oh! Oh! Hi Numbuh One! [Waaaaving.]

[lurkerwolf]

[Just gives you a look]

oh wow someone else that plays him!

[battlestations]

Don't forget all the other muns ruining children's lives.

[numbuh_one]

...What?

[numbuh_one]

...Hello, Numbuh Three.

[Feign apathy all you want, Numbuh One, but you're happy to see her.]

[numbuh_one]

[Looks right back.]

[braveredrose]

... Ah.

I meant... It could always be worse... [Gosh, Ib, not everyone can decode Silent Protagonist ellipses like Garry and Mary.]

Your mun doesn't plan to send you anywhere scary, right?

Oh hey! =D Yup, the little guy wouldn't get out of my head XD

[numbuh_one]

Yes! Exactly!

[numbuh_one]

[A sigh.] Not that I'm aware of. But honestly, sitting around in her headspace doing nothing might actually be worse...

[braveredrose]

How so?

Being in the headspace means you won't get attacked by scary paintings or dolls... [Those sorts of things are Not Fun, okay 8( ]

[numbuh_one]

[...Good point.]

I...guess. But being stuck here means I also won't get to do anything...It's going to drive me crazy!

[braveredrose]

Well... that's true, too... Maybe you could persuade your mun to take you to a game?

Like a not-scary one!

[numbuh_one]

I can try...but if I had any hopes of her listening to me, I wouldn't even be here in the first place...

[braveredrose]

Well, it might be a little easier to try and get her to send you somewhere than to send you back where you're from...?

I don't know... Everywhere I've been here has actually been nicer than where I'm from....
