Oops! What's this, mun? It'll be 100 years before you can play someone as great as me properly, but I'll allow it if you practice properly. [and by properly she means three hours a day every day even on sundays.]

What's this wishy-washy "try" business? Do, or don't! Sink, or swim! No arguments! If you have the verve to argue with me, you have the drive to get that app done! What kind of excuse is "uncertain"? I don't tolerate inaction from any mun of mine. Now drop and give me twenty!

In my experience, sempai, when told to sink or swim muns have a tendency to sink like a log.

Or mine does, at any rate. It's a very inefficient use of time.

[guess whose app is also stuck in the dark nebula, eh]

[shinethebrightest]

It's better than being the kind of wishy-washy person who never starts. How many times have you had to go through this?

[switched_off]

Twice. Although if yours haven't even decided yet, I suppose you might have a bigger problem. It shouldn't be hard to identify what you need to do.

[shinethebrightest]

It isn't a problem for me, though. The app isn't for me. That comes later. [After she whips her mun into shape.]

What were the two times about?

[switched_off]

[.....sempai you were being misleading. But whatever.]

Average occurrences for this sort of thing, I'd say? The first time, the mun was writing half an app before having second thoughts. The second time, we've got half an app before stalling because there's some anxiety issue of hers.

It's a complete waste of time and effort, if you ask me. I hope your mun is better at that.

[Queen must look after her domain! But of course the Queen deserves the best.]

Better than filling out the names and then wandering off and procrastinating forever, surely. Pride before efficacy! There's no point to trying if they're just going to give up easily.

Fortunately for my mun, I'm here. [Supervisor, inspiration to all, setting an example, shining the brightest, etc.] Set an example, Kengo-kun!

[switched_off]

I'm sure that you have things covered with them, sempai. [he smiles a little at that, because hey, she wasn't club chairman for nothing] In my case, though, I don't know what I'd do with her. I'd like to think I get my businesses done in a timely manner already.

I'd welcome your advice, if you have any.

[shinethebrightest]

Oops! This is new. [teasing] You don't usually ask me for help, Kengo-kun. [Is he finally acknowledging how ~fabulous~ she is?]

Well, you know your mun better than I do. [There's a limit to what they can force their muns to do, after all. But let's see, what would JK... Ah!] How about trying bribery?

[switched_off]

Well, you might've noticed that I haven't had much success in dealing with idiots. There's merit in learning from people with better track records at this. [There also really isn't much point in being tsuntsun after writing that sappy farewell letter, is there? And he's got to practice relying on his friends.]

I'm not exactly wealthy, though. There's not much I can use for bribery.

[shinethebrightest]

Hmm.... [Wracking her brain. She doesn't really know how to deal with anxious people—she didn't know what to do with Tamae, and such. And Gentarou got Miu out of her own discouragement slump by appealing to her pride. The only person she can really think of who had an anxiety problem was Ryusei, but he faked that.]

I may not be the best person to ask. Have you seen Gentarou anywhere? [Gentarou can help with anything.]

[switched_off]

[B-but sempai you're his only hope---!]

Kisaragi? I think he's somewhere around here, but....I haven't seen him in a while. Why?

[shinethebrightest]

[Here, Kengo-kun, take Potechokin and threaten to cut your mun's hair off. cough she may or may not used this threat against JK sometimes cough]

He's good with this encouragement thing, is all. Never mind that, then. Is your heart set on going to a game?

[switched_off]

I don't think my heart has anything to do with it. [No.] The mun's heart is and yet she's sitting around wringing her hands. I just find that aggravating.

[shinethebrightest]

Do, or don't. That's all there is to it. If they give up so easily they were never dedicated enough in the first place. It's up to the individal to ascertain their own limits.

[switched_off]

Does it work with your mundane when you tell them that sort of thing?

[shinethebrightest]

I wouldn't bother if it didn't. Muns aren't a hivemind collective, Kengo-kun.

[switched_off]

The mun has shown a surprising amount of resilience to whatever I say to her, but I suppose it can't hurt to try. If only to just get this over with. [He doesn't particularly enjoy getting his personality analyzed over and over again, no.]

At least it's good to hear that you've got things under control where you are.

[shinethebrightest]

You say that like I can control what my mun does.

Hey, have you seen my hairbrush anywhere? I can't find it. I might have left it at Rabbit Hatch, but that means it's gone for good, and I want to make sure.

[switched_off]

[He snorts at that.]

Are you worried about your hairbrush when we're in an interdimensional space and controlled by beings who want to take us to worlds infested by zombies or whatever?

[Sometimes he really, really wonders about all of you, KRC.]

[shinethebrightest]

[sigh] Forget I asked.
