Muse is new! Mun is already thinking about sending him somewhere

[truemanoffendel]

I can't say I'm surprised, what with the others you have knocking around up here. [He doesn't look particularly pleased.] I do have duties to attend to, you know.

Speaking of, from what the others have said, your propensity for making our lives a living hell has me worried. Just what are you planning?

[He doesn't say anything for a moment. Neither does his mundane.]

That doesn't make me feel any better.

[ex_protegere334]

Are you okay, Captain?

[truemanoffendel]

Oh, of course, Sophie. My mundane and I were just discussing what she'd like to do with me. [That sounds so worrisome to his ears.]

[ex_protegere334]

Oh. Well, some places don't seem so bad. But why would that make you feel bad? Would crablettes make you feel better?

[truemanoffendel]

[He crosses his arms, a small smirk on his face.] Well, crablettes do make everything better, so it's worth a shot.

[ex_protegere334]

Yes! We should find Cheria. She makes really good crablettes....

[And Sophie is now looking around almost expectantly. Where has not!mother gone to?]

[truemanoffendel]

Hey, you're right. Maybe we should go have a look for her. What do you way?

[pactfulfilled]

Is it bad, Captain Malik?

[Silence is never good...]

[truemanoffendel]

Oh, I'm sure it's nothing, Asbel. [But his sigh says differently.] They sure like to think we're toys, though, don't they?

[pactfulfilled]

[But every time someone says "it's nothing", it's usually not.]

Um. Well, it is true that they can be pretty devious sometimes... And they don't always give you all the information you need in one go.

[truemanoffendel]

And this one seems to be a particularly devious breed. Still, she'll find I'm not one to just roll over and take whatever's handed to me. Not anymore.

[pactfulfilled]

[That doesn't sound good at all. He believes he's been pretty lucky so far, but he's heard stories...]

So, what exactly is she planning to do with you?

[truemanoffendel]

As far as she's told me, she's planning on sticking me in one of these games.

[lordoflhant]

Your mun is looking for a game for you? That's always kind of nervewracking, in my experience.

[truemanoffendel]

It's something like that. [Annoying?] I assume you've already dealt with something similar?

[lordoflhant]

Yeah. It was awhile ago. I don't have anywhere now, but you never know with these muns.

Hopefully it won't be too bad for you though! Try to look on the bright side about it.

[truemanoffendel]

The bright side, huh? [A pause.] You wouldn't happen to know where I could find one of those, would you?
