dear_mun | on this whole "test driving" thing & having a game picked...

So, let me get this straight. Before you even knew half my past, you knew you wanted me to throw me into the middle of some alternate, dystopian, war-torn future just to watch me pitch a fit, because you know I'm not going to believe any of it. You know where you want me. And I don't get any say, whatsoever? I'm a grown man, you know, I can tie my own shoelaces and everything. I should probably get some kind of say in this. Unless you're suddenly two things you're not: a guy, and a really heavy smoker.

But nope, I still don't get to pick where I go, and even then, I have to cool my heels around here and do this thing you call "voice testing"? My vocal cords work just fine, thank you, I've got plenty of people who can attest to that, and if you don't believe me I could just start singing.

Fun fact: you don't want me to sing.

And while we're at it, why don't you want me to look too hard at this Night Vale thing that Scully was talking about last night? Sure, she's not my Scully, but she's still Scully, I can tell that much, and - and --

Oh, wait. I get it. You're afraid. Even though you haven't even done that "reserve" thing yet... You're afraid I'll like the look of that Vale more, and I won't let you force-draft me into that crazy future fascist war brigade. I'm on to you now. ... Maybe you're more like the top brass than I thought, after all.

I'm really not sure I trust you, after all, mundane.

... and wait, since when are we obscure?!

When were you not obscured? Not everyone remembers you.

Guess my fifteen minutes of fame have been up for a while now, then.

That might be. I never really can tell what humans consider old and what they consider obscure. Maybe you are both?

Mid-30s isn't really that old. Though if my mundane's to be believed, a canon that started twenty years ago is apparently old enough to be "obscure" to some people.

You know, Mulder. You don't really have to sing to prove you have a voice. I think you've done just fine without that.

See, but you know that. Apparently I still have to prove it to some people.

And you're going to do that by singing? [She smirks] I think that's against the Geneva Convention.

Singing is only one option. I've also considered free form verse.

Where are you going, Mulder?

Hey, Byers. ... What, you don't already know? You and the boys are slippin'.

Weird, isn't it, what they decide is obscure.

I wouldn't say weird. My definition of weird is a little wider than that.

And mine is probably wider than yours, but there isn't really a better word for it.

Time travel? Crazy bleak dystopian futures? You are what my editor one Tony Vincenzo would call 'colorful.' It's his more polite way of saying insane, I hear it all the time.

Well, I'm not talking to your editor, am I, sir... so what would you call it?

I'd call it a good story.

Just a story? Or something worth proving?

You're not the only one with a mun who wants a muse of their's to go there. That muse happens to be me...

But I think she changed her mind. Typical. It's a shame, it would have been interesting to explore that universe actually.

[and now the profiler in him is curious...] What about it seems interesting to you?

Nothing specific. My curiosity is just compelling me to explore another universe.

Though in my mun's case, it is the cast of characters she wants me to interact with.

Yeah, well, I'm never one to discourage the pioneering spirit, but you'd probably enjoy exploration a lot more in a place that's not a confirmed war zone.

I didn't realize there was more than one version of me, Mulder.

It's really complicated. Best I can figure right now has something to do with quantum theory. I know you're you, but at the same time, you're not you...

Curiouser and curiouser, Alice.

Honestly, given what I've observed here, I'm surprised there aren't more instances of both of us.
