I can't believe you made me sit still for that whole thing. It's late, I'm tired, you're tired I vote we crash. [She yawns loudly. Practically obscenely.]

Stop worrying about it, there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing gets done when we're dead tired like this. Just be happy you got it out of the way tonight. Or this morning. Or whatever time it is.

Fifth times a charm?

I'm the first, and hopefully only, version of me so far.

[michaeljangelo]

So far.
Just wait until your mun starts playing you though. That's when the itch starts itching. Oh I wonder what she'd be like over here. What about over here. Oh this game sounds good.

[alphatar]

Man I hope not. My mun could keep active in one game, sure. Another one though? That may be pushing it.

[michaeljangelo]

My mun is active in three. And in one? They play me, my brother Raph, and our father Splinter. They've got a sickness.

Then there's me in another game, and then this sweetheart of a kid named Aang in the third.

[alphatar]

Three? Wow, I think mun would fall off the face of the earth and get fired from being on the net too much. Yeah, sounds like they got turtle syndrome.

[And now for her completely undivided attention.] Aang?! As a kid no less! I bet he was adorably nice. Always has been to me anyway.

[michaeljangelo]

Mine has lots and lots and lots of downtime.

[Okay, the completely undivided attention makes him take a half step back.]

Oh yeah, he's a cute kid. Real nice too. Spends a lot of time teaching my Sensei Pai Sho. When people aren't looking I give the kid chocolate covered espresso beans.

[alphatar]

[She gets way too excited over canonmates. Can you tell?] Tenzin plays Pai Sho, but it’s a little sit-downy for me. Or at least the way he teaches and plays it does. I bet Aang could make it way cooler. [Way to knock your airbending instructor Korra.] Chocolate and espresso? That’s just evil.

My mun has quite a few muses, but they’re all pretty much homeless. I think it’s going to be the first game they’ve apped for since their big move from livejournal, but I’m not sure. I kinda happened after all that.

[michaeljangelo]

Nah nah nah, if you want way cooler you've got to go to Bumi for that. Aang is great and all, don't get me wrong, but that Bumi guy can make anything fun.

Oooh who else do you have for roommates?

[alphatar]

Bumi sounds like a total blast! Now why I can’t I get any of the fun people to teach me and hang out with? [Katara excluded, she’s a deceptively fun person.]

Oh man, you want the list? It’s kind of long and boring.

…

[She cups her hand on the side of her mouth.] And a little ugly in my opinion. I’m the best thing that ever happened to it, but don’t tell my mun I said that. [Headdesk.]

[michaeljangelo]

[Mike just laughs.]

I know that feeling, mostly because I am the living embodiment of that feeling. Of course, I'm sure my roommates would say the same thing about them.

My mun has a tendency to collect gregarious nut-jobs.

[See Mike preen.
Preen Mike, preen.]

It can't possibly be as bad as all that. C'mon, spill.

[alphatar]

I think all muns are kleptomaniacs when they become part of a fandom.

All right, I’ll have send you the link since they’re sooo proud of themselves for finally making an organized list. [Sarcasm, the native tongue of the Avatar World.] Have to polish up on my computer skills anyway for the game. Go have a looksee so I can see my mun have a mini heart attack.

[michaeljangelo]

Computer skills. Yeah, tell me about it. I'm from 1986, when like...most of the muns around here were either still in diapers or a the smallest gleam in their parents' eyes. Don't even get me started about how most keyboards aren't made for these paws.

[Mike holds up a hand for comparison.
A moment later there's the ding of an oven timer and a list appears out of a Dot Matrix printer that wasn't there a second ago.]

Holy hippospit! That's...wow. And only one of you guys gets played? That's a damn shame, is what that is.

GET ON THE STICK, MUN!

[alphatar]

I know right?! Those poor pups just sitting around doing nothing. Apparently a painting of a huge table with them playing poker is hilarious to my mun. [Well it is…] But every time any future activity comes up, suddenly it’s blah, blah, “work” and blah blah “friends” when really it comes down to games or television. Seriously, if I could kick my mun in the pants, I would.

[Her eyes widen.] I didn’t even think about that. Typing must be a pain. Isn’t there something you can attach to your fingers so it’s easier? Like the eraser from a pencil?

[michaeljangelo]

HA! We used to do that, actually. Have huge poker tournaments.
If I can impart any wisdom to you during our time here?
Do not.
Under any circumstances.
Play poker with ninjas.

It will only end in tears.

[Mike leans in and stage whispers]

WE CHEAT. A LOT.

Typing is not my most favorite thing ever, but I've gotten pretty good at it. You know, handicapable and all.

[alphatar]

Those games must get pretty crazy. What happens when everyone has the best hand? I bet you’d become unnaturally good at Pai Sho as soon as you learned it. I kind of like the lying dice game, but that usually requires money which I almost always have none of.

Maybe use food instead of money? Hmmm… [Stop thinking of ways to emulate gambling Korra.]

[michaeljangelo]

We used to use a can of lost buttons. You would not believe how many buttons get lost in New York City.

It's not really about the money, so much as it is taking everything away from the people you love.

[alphatar]

[She can’t help but laugh.] Okay, now I need to learn so the Fire Ferrets can have poker night. Just imagining the look on the other two's faces when I get all their stuff is not enough.

Hey, maybe you can organize a poker game with your fellow turtle bros? [Getting them together is important to her, I don’t know why.]

[michaeljangelo]

What's a fire ferret?

[Please don't say it's an actual ferret that one lights on fire.]

....that...that's not a half bad idea, actually. I might just have to steal that!

[alphatar]

A fire ferret is kind of an elongated fox, but much cuter. The Fire Ferrets name actually came from Pabu, Bolin's pet. He's and earthbender. Bolin I mean, not Pabu. That would be weird. [Yeah, because badgermoles earthbending is sooo normal.] He's got some black and dark red fur on his body and legs and cute panda-like features on his face.

I mean my Naga’s cuter, but still Pabu’s a little heart breaker.

[michaeljangelo]

Those were all words you just said. And alone they make sense. Together, especially how you arranged them? Not so much.

[alphatar]

Sorry, I’m not great at explaining things, especially the animals we have. They’re pretty weird to everyone else for some reason. Let’s just say a fire ferret is a mix between a red panda and a mongoose. At least that’s what my mun recommends.

Oh, and Naga’s not a fire ferret. She’s a polar bear dog. And I am itching to know if she can be requested in the game.

[michaeljangelo]

[His whole expression softens as she describes a fire ferret. There's nothing on this planet that should ever be that cute, ever. It would be a quantum cute singularity.

It's a good thing the polar bear dog gets mentioned.]

Wait wait wait...is this a dog that looks like a polar bear? Or a polar bear that looks like a dog?

[alphatar]

Going by her size, I’m going to say a polar bear that looks like a dog. Found her when she was a baby and tamed her myself and now she’s my best friend. Oh you should have seen the look on my mom’s face.

She thought Naga was adorable.

Oh, and don’t mind my mun. They just thought would be a fantastic idea to see a movie at midnight and get about three hours of sleep before going to work.

Yep, that’s my mun… [Ouch Korra.]

[michaeljangelo]

Was it a good movie at least?

[alphatar]

Sure seems like it, if Iron Man is your kind of thing. At least that pup can post too for at least a little bit. All I know is that my mun missed out on sleep and that’ll cost any last second edits to the app.
