[ Haruka nods. ]

Ah...Well, not 'torture' so much, as...

[ There are only two women in the world who can throw off her groove and you are one of them when you make that face. She puts a protective hand on your shoulder, forcing you to look into her eyes. ]

Anyway, be on your guard. They like you too much to put you in physical danger, but you can't show them any weakness, understand?

[ Usagi blinks, nods, and pulls back to look her in the eye. ]

Right.

[ She needed this, this reminder to be strong - not coddling - because she is strong, she just forgets. She needs her friends to remind her - friends like Haruka and Rei who know that, sometimes, the best way they can help her is to convince her to help herself. ]

[ Good, you seem to be listening. Easing up on the sternness, Haruka pats your shoulder before dropping her hand. ]

That's the spirit.

Are you headed anywhere particular?

[ Being in games is ridiculous it takes you away from your duties and your girlfriend but memes get inside your head and -

Haruka doesn't care much for Dreamwidth so far. But she will prepare you for it. Somehow. ]

[ She shakes her head. ]

Mm-mm, though we do keep popping into memes.

[ Mun has yet to find a game that truly intrigued her that looked like a good home for them, which is all right. Games can be great fun, but as long as we make friends, we'll be happy.

Mun has contemplated creating her own game, but...she's never done so before and is pretty sure it is a LOT of work, and she doesn't want to do it without being more invested in it. ]

Memes, huh?

[ She thinks this over. ]

Could be worse. Games are just traps with pretty coding, and you don't want to be that kind of Princess.

[ Haruka for her part did end up going to Dragonhaven. Where she is lone-canon-warrioring it up, but dealing. (There is also a SM musebox/DR here if you're interested. It's quiet but friendly if you wanted to find castmates.) ]

[ She frowns and shakes her head. ]

Oh, no, I wouldn't want to be that.

[ Her expression melts into uncertainty, her shoulders hunch, and she taps her fingers together. She then looks around and leans in to whisper. ]

Um, what kind of princess would that be, exactly?

[ Usagi's Mun has googled Musebox, but she doesn't entirely understand what it is. A private comm of sorts - owned by a single entity rather than multiple, not necessarily made to roleplay in, but for other things related to roleplaying?

Also, I'd like to note that you are very funny. Your subject lines are fantastic. :) And your icon comments? Oh my gosh, I could hardly breathe, I laughed so hard.]

[ She winks. Really, she's nervous about you and memes - there's a lot of content there she, uh, really doesn't want you exposed to - but your thickheadedness is its own form of resilience, she supposes. ]

If you don't know, it might have already happened.

[ It can be! A musebox is usually a comm owned by a single person for playing out PSLs or small group RPs between a group of friends. If that person has a muselist or likes to fill out memes, etc, they often post those in the musebox, too. So basically it's a private, casual place for friends or people with a common interest to RP.

Also, thank you! I'm really enjoying playing off your Usagi, she's perfectly goofy. :3 Would love to see you at DH if you thought it'd be a good fit, but no worries if that's not what you're looking for. ]

[ It is. Oh, if only her Mun was as thickheaded as she used to be, but nooo, she got tired of not getting things. Pfft. Stupid girl. ]

Eh?

[ She blinks. She doesn't understand, and she shan't understand because I am going to let that one go sailing right over her head. Stay blissful in your ignorance, Bunny!

PSL? *crumbles in defeat* So many things I do not know! *sob sob* I have no idea what that stands for, would you educate me - or, continue to educate me - please?

Aw, thank you! ^_^ So nice to play a character like Usagi where I can be a total goof. You'd like it if I was there, really? And here I was worried my Usagi wasn't very good... I checked out DH the other day, when I first saw your post, I think, and it looked interesting, but I was so rusty on her character then, I didn't want to look too closely, lest I risk joining a game before I had/have a better handle on her. But I'm going to have to look again, because, hello, awesome canon mate, and, uh, dragons rock. ;) (And, wow, I am so the opposite of pithy.) XD ]

[ To leave you wondering, or out the joke. Hmm. ]

Never mind. Just keep your wits about you.

....Damsel.

[ Oh, sorry. >_< It stands for "private story line", so - a one-on-one RP with someone. Like if this spun off to us posting to one of our journals about Usagi and Haruka running through DW trying to fend off the big, scary muns, and we created a whole story/universe around it, that'd be a PSL.

And I would love to see Usagi there! I've been away from DW a while myself and the game has been totally friendly and involving and accessible so far. Haruka is fairly new for me too, but everyone's been so welcoming I just keep trying the best I can...

Apps are always open & checked once a week, though I would recommend reserving if you're interested, just in case. I'd also be happy to answer any questions you have, either here or via PM or plurk, if you have one. ]

[ She would be relieved, but you've gone and called her Damsel, and now she's flustered again, blushing and laughing. She feels quite certain that you're teasing her, and she doesn't know how to respond. ]

Will do. [ She salutes. ]

I think I'm ready to venture out. Do I look ready?

[ Ah, that makes sense. I've done PSL's - more of those than games, in fact.

I'm undecided on the game right now, but I definitely want to keep threading together when this one ends, which should probably be soon since Usagi's been on DW for a while now (not a long while, but enough time to feel semi-comfortable).

There are so many memes I want to do - I love Bakersstreet! - and I've wanted to do Protective!Haruka with Seiya around since I started seeing things about the Stars seaons. It could be interesting if this line continued too - Haruka and Usagi meeting up and talking about their experiences on DW. Any scenes/storylines/etc. you want to do?

This is the first time I've ever heard of plurk. Man, there are so many social media platforms out there... ]

[ Haruka just smiles and pats your cheek. ]

Just don't overdo it, bun-head.

[ But now you've got that look on your face that means you'll flatten obstacles without even seeing them, so she's got a feeling you'll....probably be fine.

In case you're not, though, she may follow. At a distance. ]

[ ooc: Sounds good on all counts! The game's not going anywhere so you have plenty of time to think it over. Plus, applications are always open/checked weekly, so I'd be thrilled to see Usagi at any point if you decide to go for it!

As far as specific scenes are concerned, I'm flexible - I'm also on Bakerstreet a lot with Haruka, so we could either mutually agree on memes or start up a thread or something in one of our journals? I'll friend Usagi right after this so we can friends-lock it if we want. :3

I don't think many people use plurk but DWRPers, honestly. It's a pretty handy tool for coordinating plots and stuff OOCly though. If as you play here more you decide to make one, I'm

ghoulfriend! <3 ]
