He's Shiny and New *w*

[orcaptain]

...It's nice to meet you. I guess you already know who I am...

[Makoto is really kind of uncomfortable with this new situation, being a Muse, but of course that doesn't stop him from being polite as he usually is. Despite all the staring and the cooing from the strange person here who calls herself "his" Mundane.]

So, I'm here because I'm your... Muse? Are you an artist of some kind?

...

I'm sorry, this is just really confusing for me right now! Maybe you can explain it to me again so I can understand. Thank you for your patience.

Mako-chan-! [ --arm grab ]

You don't know what a Muse-chan means?

[orcaptain]

Nagisa!

Ah, I think she's explaining it to me right now...

[beautyfly]

Do you require a proper explanation? I can provide one for you, Makoto-senpai.

[orcaptain]

Is everyone here?

And yes, I think a proper explanation would be nice.

[justwantstoswim]

[Well, looks like the whole team is here now.]

There's no pool here.

[orcaptain]

[It sure looks like it.]

Maybe we'll find one later?

[justwantstoswim]

He said there would be a pool.

[His mun lied and he is not happy.]

[orcaptain]

Maybe you just need to be patient.

[Poor Haru.]

[beautyfly]

I think so as far as I know. I have seen everyone here.

[He fixed his glasses once more before he continued.]

We 'muses' are nothing more than a mental construct designed to think and act like someone else giving us the illusion of freewill but when in reality our actions are guided but or mundane, or mun if you will. It is also my experience that our muns like to put us in compromising situations for their twisted amusement. Of course each mun is different so this can vary to muse to muse.

how the frick do I actually get him to talk to others

[linkinshark]

A mundane is someone who forces you into doing what you don't want to do.

Like being here.

[He needs character development and soon.]

[orcaptain]

Everyone's safe? Nothing bad has happened?

[And then Rei explains and he has to pause and give that some thought.]

Compromising positions?

[What?]

you force him like a good/bad mun lol

[orcaptain]

Rin!

You don't want to be here?

[Indeed he does!]

[beautyfly]

As safe as one can be here. There's no need to worry, Makoto-senpai.

[He lets out a long tired sigh as he recalls all the unbeautiful situations over the past few weeks.]

Yes.... compromising and embarrassing. The meme threads can be a very unpleasant place.

[Being forced to kiss a strange man and even Nagisa... Though that one wasn't so terrible.]

[orcaptain]

...Okay.

[They don't sound good.]

So...I guess you've been doing things you don't really want to do. Can we ask them not to have us do these things?

[beautyfly]

[There was a hesitant pause.]

You can try but I have found out when you do they just laugh at you. Or worse...[They make it harder for you.] ... they make you do more things against your will.

[orcaptain]

[Rei, you must have gone through some really ugly things if you're like this.]

Are you all right? Did your Mun make you do things you really didn't like?

he better be more like his shota self later on

[linkinshark]

[Rin can't really look Makoto in the eye and say it, but-]

Why would I want to be here?

[It cuts into his brooding time.]

yes yes

[orcaptain]

Well, everyone else seems to be here. And they're saying something about bad things happening to them, but maybe it'll be easier because we've got each other's back.

[You need more time with other people, Rin. Too much brooding is bad for you.]

Show me on the doll where they touched you...

[beautyfly]

[Oh Rei is just being a baby. Just had to kiss strangers and in a psl almost drowned all of if his friends, but who's counting>]

Yes... she has. It wasn't beautiful.... But don't worry about me, Makoto-senpai. I'm sure your mun is nicer than mine.

Mama Captain will tell the police about it.

[orcaptain]

[He smiles a little.]

I think I'll still worry, Rei. After what you've told me, it just seems like I should.

[Mama Captain all the way.]

but this can work too maybe I think

[linkinshark]

... Bad things?

[In case you were thinking he was concerned or anything, he obviously just had a very deadpan, uninterested voice there. Because he's not concerned. Truly.]

tsun tsun~

[orcaptain]

Mn. Apparently memes should be avoided as much as possible. The Muns tend to make you do things you don't want as you said.

[He's okay so far, Rin. So far.]

Re: Mama Captain will tell the police about it.

[beautyfly]

[He blinked mutely for a second at Mako. He was truly wonderful nice person. S-so beautiful...]

I appreciate your concern, but honestly, I'll be okay. I'm afraid there's little you can do to stop muns from doing what they want to.

[orcaptain]

I guess. [He smiles more, trying to be optimistic and reassuring.] But anyway, if ever you feel like you need someone to talk to, you can just come and approach me, okay?

[beautyfly]

[He nods slowly looking away as he adjusted his glasses out of habit.]

I will remember that. I hope that you will get settle in without any issues. If you ever see me around feel free to drop by.
