So I guess this stupid-as-hell 'wait and hope' plan of yours worked.

Shouldn't be surprised, I guess, you always say there are a lot fewer Muns around than there should be, figures at least a few from the old place would have moved over here when you did.

Probably before you did, all things considered.

You'd be surprised who is around, dear.

[redhoodedgirl]

Might be.

Have to admit, though, it's been a long time. And she probably should have just, oh, I don't know, done the sensible thing and messaged a couple people instead of just throwing Piggy and me out into the wild and hoping for the best.

Except... that worked, so... I don't even know any more.

[holed]

It was luck, too. She's never at this place, but my lovely writer was making a post with a man who is also up here, and she saw it.

What fortune.

[redhoodedgirl]

You're not the only one, either, Tailor and Wendy and Hunter are here too, off and on. Maybe others. Mun thinks she saw MD a while ago, but doesn't remember now.

[holed]

I see him off and on-- Tailor. He tries to help me. [But he's not the most stable himself these days. But then with what happened to them, who is?]

[redhoodedgirl]

[Red wasn't entirely stable herself, after having been mothballed for a couple years] I caught him in a meme the other day, Tailor that is, and I've got Hunter in another one.

But that's because my mun is a psychopath and likes dicking me around.

[holed]

I haven't seen him in a few weeks. He broke me out. Again. [Elaine has a habit of getting placed in psych wards.]

[redhoodedgirl]

[Just like Red still had a habit of finding herself in bars, or back-alley brawls, or one and then the other.]

He's good at that, isn't he?

[holed]

He thinks I'm breaking, and I can't break.

[redhoodedgirl]

Pretty sure he thinks that about most of us, actually.

[holed]

We're all a little mad, Red. Broken pieces that don't quite fit right. That's why we should be together. Always.

[redhoodedgirl]

Yeah, so we can smooth out each other's edges, pop the pieces back into place and tape the shards together so nothing gets lost.

[holed]

Does it work like that?

[redhoodedgirl]

I always figured it did. We were always better in the same place than we were on our own.

[holed]

Safety in numbers.

[redhoodedgirl]

That's how we survived before, isn't it?

/pounce!

[spintosurvive]

It was a lucky thing, really. My mun was running about on Bakerstreet looking for things of interest and just happened to see you and Piggy there, so she pointed Tailor's mun at you. They've been hanging out in another game together since we kind of vanished.

[But, you know, beaming because it looks like some people are coming back.]

She promises she'll hit you up with me and maybe even Shang soon.

/flaily muppety arms!

[redhoodedgirl]

Yeah, mine's pretty sure she saw you either here or on the BS a while ago, and then she started reading old threads and blammo, me and Piggy are back in full force.

/snuggle! Although fair warning I will be a bit slow because class :P

[spintosurvive]

She probably did. I'm around there every once and a while to do stuff with Tailor. We're both really glad that's what helped bring you out, though. She's missed our whole gang.

And I'm at work! So that's a thing

[redhoodedgirl]

Yeah, clearly she missed everybody too, since she brought me AND Piggy back. And apparently a couple others from other groups stuck around longer, and she's been keeping them busy even without the rest of their crews.

\o/

[spintosurvive]

She's only just brought Shang out again. He was surprised, to say the least. The two of us are among her oldest ones, so she doesn't really have too many others to resurrect.

[Which might be a good thing.]

[redhoodedgirl]

Yeah, we're not her oldest by a long shot, but we're definitely not new.

I mean, two years, almost to the day.

[spintosurvive]

I know. It's odd to think we've been around that long.

[redhoodedgirl]

It really is, especially since I was out of commission for most of that time.

[spintosurvive]

Exactly. And now suddenly there's so many of us turning up out of the woodwork. Maybe some of us'll stick around for longer this time around.

[redhoodedgirl]

Could be. Hard to tell without someplace like SWS to keep us all entertained, but I don't know. Memes are better here. Sometimes.

[spintosurvive]

They do have a SWS here. Slower than the old one, but it's still about. And my mun and Wendy's was thinking we might even throw together a musebox, put up some kind of party post to get us all together again.

[redhoodedgirl]

oh she knows it's there, just she swore off the place when she moved, more bad memories there than good.

That and too much of a time sink. As if memes aren't. I don't get her sometimes.

[spintosurvive]

That makes sense. My mun only haunts there every once and a while, usually when she's too lazy to make a full-blown post. But these days she sticks to memes and journal entries, too.

But yeah. They're an odd bunch, muns.

[redhoodedgirl]

And then mine goes and overbooks herself when she knows she's not going to have time. Typical.

[spintosurvive]

They really are terrible at time management. You'd think after all these years they'd learned, but instead they just get worse about it.

[redhoodedgirl]

Seems like! I mean, she's worse at it than Prue is, and Prue has week-long blackouts.

[spintosurvive]

Wow. That sounds like it'd be hard to top, too.

[redhoodedgirl]

Yeah, though at least in Prue's case she doesn't double-book herself, or plan too many things right in a row.

[spintosurvive]

That's good. I feel like that'd be a pain to deal with otherwise.
