mun is taking a brief intermission from her tf2 muse tags

[blanched]

Mundane-san, I don't want to be rude, but... it's been a long time since you've read my story, hasn't it? Maybe you should--

Ah! I-I'm sorry, that's right. You've been busy with your game and your other muses lately.

[The already tiny girl seems to shrink.]

I understand. Heavy-san is much louder than me, after all, isn't she? She must need a lot of time out here, with all of her friends.

... none of my friends have been here for a very long time. So... I understand.




[Her canon is the manga Pita-Ten. And yes this is that BLU girl!Heavy's mun but I suddenly had an urge to bring this little lady back. maybe I'll get some practice here and consider taking her to a real game again??? It's been a long time.]

[not_onyourside]

Heavy ees very loud, but she cannot help eet, she ees just very big.

I am sorry you must live wez her.

[blanched]

Oh, no, it's alright, I don't mind. It's just that...

... I was alone for a very long time before my mundane took me in. And I thought that my time spent alone was over. But, sometimes, I do still get lonely here, without the others.

[not_onyourside]

[Way to hit all his feels at once.]

Oh.

Well eet ees never good to be alone. I am sure zhings will look up, you are here for instance, zhat ees good.

[blanched]

That's right... thank you.

[She smiles a bit weakly, but she does mean it. And then, as if quite suddenly remembering her manners, she curtsies, spreading her long skirts.]

My name is Shia.

[not_onyourside]

[He smiles and bows in return.]

I am zhe RED Spy, eets a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[blanched]

Oh, the Spy... I've heard a lot about you. Your job sounds dangerous, but it must be so exciting!

[not_onyourside]

Eet ees bozh, zhough I must admit eet does get dull after a while. Standing around alone een zhe shadows waiting for someone to walk by -- eet does get tedious.

But eet also pays extraordinarily well.

[blanched]

Oh... I suppose it would, wouldn't it? [ahhh she fiddles a little with her skirts, but smiles. She's so small that she has to stare almost directly up at him, but dammit, she smiles.] That's wonderful, though.

I... miss the work I used to do. I was a waitress at a cafe called Tricot. It... wasn't terribly exciting, but it was quiet, and I met lots of wonderful people there.

[It was a maid cafe.

Imagine this tiny thing in a frilly gothic lolita maid dress.]

[not_onyourside]

A waitress? Before I was a Spy I was a maitre d'.

And why can you not do zhat anymore?

[Other than the fact he's convinced she's around 10 and that seems to break a lot of child labour laws.]

[blanched]

Ah... many things happened since then. I'm not sure that I could go back, even if my mundane did return me.

[also she died and reappearing after that would be kind of awkward]

[not_onyourside]

[He knows the feeling, it's as if they have lived the same life.]

Ah, but zhen you could not meet all zhe lovely people here. Ignore what Heavy says, zhere are some wonderful people here. Also talking animals.

[blanched]

[Her smile is a bit more natural at that.]

Heavy-san doesn't dislike everyone, really... ah, yes, I've met some of them before! The animals and other people, as well. They've mostly been wonderful.

[Mostly.

Except for the times her mundane got her killed violently or kidnapped.

Which has happened a lot in the past five years that she's been a muse.]

It's just that it's been so long since I've been out to say hello to anyone. You're the first person I've gotten to really talk to in months.

[not_onyourside]

Well, we are not on zhe same team, so eets only natural she would distrust me.

Well I am honored. You should tell your Mundane to let you out more often.

[blanched]

Oh? But she doesn't dislike you, either. I think she thinks of you as a friend now.

I... maybe. She's just been so busy with the others here, and I couldn't take time away from them. They have people they want to see as well, after all.

[not_onyourside]

Oh really?

[Well now he is very interested. Also it's a little strange to hover over someone so much shorter than him, so he's going to sit on the ground and be more eye level.]

As do you, eef you must share a headspace you all must learn to share and take turns, one cannot simply dominate zhe ozzers.

[blanched]

[Oh-- she notices that, and blushes lightly. But she really does appreciate it.

She nods in answer to his question.]

I think you two could be very good friends, in time.

Oh... well, yes, but... it simply hasn't been my time for a little while now, I think.

[not_onyourside]

Perhaps. I suppose only time will tell.

You are very optimistic, eets a nice change from zhe pessimists I am stationed wez. You would zhink zhe world was ending tomorrow wez zhe way zhey talk.

[blanched]

...

[She hesitates for a moment before responding, her gaze dropping.]

I guess when you've lived long enough, you start to realize just how small sad times really are. They hurt, but then they're in the past as soon as you take a breath.

[pocketsurgeon]

It's never a bad idea to remind ze Mundane to nicht forget about you. Mine gets distracted viz all sorts of nonsense if ve don't reign her in.

[blanched]

[wow so many tall men with accents addressing her tonight.]

Ah-- well, yes, they do get a little distracted sometimes, don't they...?

[She ducks her head, blushing brightly.]

But I couldn't take time away from Heavy-san.

[pocketsurgeon]

Ja. Of course ve are only zeir second priority. Zey haff ozer outside interests zey must attend to.

Heavy .. vhat?

[blanched]

Heavy-- um. The Heavy Weapons woman. Your, ah... friend?

[She seems politely unsure as to how to refer to her. And doesn't understand THAT'S not what was confusing him.]

[pocketsurgeon]

Nein, ze part about sand?

[blanched]

Sand...? ... ah! I'm sorry! I'm so used to speaking Japanese... it's polite.

[not_onyourside]

Zhis ees very true. Time heals all.

You seem razzer young to be so forward zhinking.
