If you're looking for a protest, you're not getting one. If you already know everything I'm thinking, why should I give you the satisfaction of hearing it said out loud?

[She isn't actually sure if she wants to go or not. Her own world is terrible, yes, but she doesn't have much hope that this one is going to be any better. But she knows there's no use in fighting things that are infinitely more powerful than she is. Why bother trying? It won't make a difference either way.]

Just do what you want. You know I'm going to.

I can't stop you, just like they won't be able to stop me.

No. I'm not here to talk to you about canon events. I have to deal with things in my reality, but this is completely removed from Greendale and I'm keeping it that way. As far as I'm concerned, we're still back at the third season finale. Anyway, there are other things we need to discuss.

First I'd like to propose that you bring me here to air out my meta concerns more often. They don't go away with time. I'll still have them on the list even if you wait three months to think about what they might be. I kind of figured we had an agreement about that when you made the account and started actively roleplaying? Maybe I misread something.

Second: you didn't bring me through to the reboot of my game. I was in the middle of a documentary project with a City Hall internship. You turned me into a monstrosity made out of Lucas Luthor and Chuck Cunningham's spare parts. I'm a Frankenstein's Monster of showing up and then being put on a bus. Hello apocalypse, goodbye Abed. Last seen ascending the metaphorical staircase with a basketball.

Objectively speaking, I can respect holding out for the apocalypse. As far as dropping points go, it's pretty hard to come by natural conditions that give you a convenient excuse for disappearing. But I didn't get to say goodbye. That's more important than objectivity in this context. We should always be able to say goodbye.

Third: you should keep Evil Abed off the table. I understand wanting to explore a darker dimension, but some dimensions should be left unexplored. And so should some timelines. Evil Abed is a force of chaotic darkness and neatly-groomed facial hair that no man or woman was created to control. Which is kind of what happens when you switch alignments to follow natural plot progression. Casual villains are dangerous villains. In the oceanic depths of wrongdoing, Evil Abed is the equivalent of Jaws.

Fourth: please stop rewatching The Wicker Man. That's enough.

... I think that's everything I can cover in spoiler-free territory. You can probably get rid of the subject line warning.

withgreatbleach

Look, lady, I'm flattered you're even considering a second-rate spider like me but are you sure about this? There's going to be a lot of terrible writing to get through and I say that as someone who used to read the Daily Bugle. Just kidding. Kind of.

Besides, I... I have responsibilities back home! Like this little thing we call a J-O-B? One that, for once, isn't completely awful? Plus all that stuff I'm, uh, helping Pete with now. Because of little May. Who totally needs me to stick around and spoil her rotten.

raspberriesnscream

If it gets me out of that house and away from those annoying bitches, I don't care if I have to be enrolled in some government program to be a superhero. I am so ok with spandex. Do you have any idea what it's like to spend forever with your perfect man and his happy family?!

Get. Me. The. Hell. Out.

And did I mention I am ok with guys in spandex?

Sign me up, already!

returntoeven

There's nothing to 'discuss', you trash.

I paid my dues, and however enamored you are with the idea of sending me to a city of whores, I promise you, you'll regret every moment of it.

Drag someone else there to rut in the dirt. I will not.

aggressiveapathy

God, just shut up already. It's just me here and it'll be just me in Narnia Hell or Orphan Murder Ville or whatever the machine throws us at next. So the apps are closing soon for a couple months or a million years or something. It's not like it matters. Ron and Leslie are too smart and Andy too beautiful and everyone else too dumb to end up here, anyway.

kittysdragon

How come 'ragons are always the baddies, Mun? Yeh play that fantasy game, baddies flaming up 'ragonborn types.. Yeh see those 'ovies, baddie in the 'ave with all 'hat gold. Po'ems, baddies, stories, baddies... in fact only nice dragon Heed knows who isn't Heed is also small an' purple. Except he has fancy game series with Sky Land whatevers and Heed doesn't. Heed deserves movie! Deserves video game! Start makin' 'ragons not baddies and who save th' day instead cause yeh 'umans seriously 'eed savin'.

Also yeh gonna find Heed a game or what? Yeh found some 'riends, right? Even Kittys. So stop wastin time with that Cyber Mon thingie and all yeh wasting money and start with Heed already, huh? 'aybe that hero place they 'ave with Capes and Cowls and whatever.

Current Mood: irritated

reptiledysfunction

No offense, if you're going to app me somewhere, I'd prefer a game without superpowers. It's...safer, that way.

[there's a pause and a small frown. the idea of turning into the Lizard again...yeeeeah, not exactly on his list of things to do.]

Also, can't we do something about this username? It's embarrassing, to say the least. I'd like to have an ounce of professionalism, you know.

frozenstar

You may be excited beyond containment, but the fact remains you have done nothing with recent events.

Will you let this opportunity waste away as well?

gees

...What, this again? Seriously?

Look, you do what you've gotta do. I don't care. You can send me back to that game later if you go through with this, but I'm not about to apologize to you for joining a team that needed my help back then, just because you don't like the art style. At least my brothers and sisters had a decent reason to be mad about it at the time. Jeez.

In case you haven't noticed, I've got bigger things to worry about right now than your lousy canon review. Doctor Doom still has my parents, remember? And I can't even figure out what happens to them for like, another two months! So just go read your comic books already and leave me alone. Trust me, I'll probably still be here when you get back.

Y'know. Whether I want to be or not.

yourpiecenow

Great, now we're going from Charmed to Smallville. At least the costumes are sexier.

I mean it, my outfit better rock. Having superpowers basically just involves flying around dressed like a slut, anyway.

[so, y'know, not that much different than her normal daily life.]

If you even think about putting me in spandex, I'll kick your fat ass.

coolcubed

Hey. I guess this is one of those times where I'm supposed to crawl out of the woodwork and make a case for more castmates. Normally I'd be cool to fall in line with the cliche since I think I'm pretty overdue for it, but it has to wait. There are bigger things at stake here. Things that could impact the unfolding of our entire RP run together.

First, you need to watch Sharknado. You needed to watch it the day you recorded it. I don't understand why you wouldn't: it's a shark tornado. We both pretty much know what's gonna happen, and you're my front row seat to SyFy's greatest and worst shark-based achievement to date. Sharknado is non-negotiable. I hope you don't think I'm not serious about that.

Second, stop watching the A-Team episodes out of order until you've watched them all at least once the right way through. I guess it's more negotiable than Sharknado, though. The episodes do tend to be pretty self-contained in the first four seasons and you haven't tried season five yet, so you're probably not missing out on any really huge developments. Some minor characters shift around, but it's all still pretty tried and true. Don't worry, I'll keep the spoilers at a minimum.

You should also stop coming out here when there are logs full of wild west motifs to be tackled. I need a tragic backstory and a dinosaur steed before I have my showdown. I'm not gonna get either of those where I need them without the fourth wall in place. Try to keep your priorities in the right order where I'm concerned, Mun. I can't do your heavy lifting. [ Man honestly, all the irresponsibility. Tut tut. ]

guestlectures

This is a bad idea and you know it.

[Come on, Frederick isn't that bad.]

I don't mean Doctor Chilton. I'm talking about your ability to commit to something for any length of time. It wouldn't be fair to me, or the others already there to have me turn up only to vanish again after a few months.

[Don't you want super powers? It'll be awesome!]

You and I have quite different opinions of what constitutes "awesome".

half_truths

Sending me here because you think you are testing my resilience and because you have a distasteful God-like curiosity at what will happen if you mix myself with Abel Gideon and Hannibal in a place like that is... ~~Never mind the fact that Hannibal behaves the same way~~ Well, I think you know.

[ She is too busy avoiding a mental breakdown to properly chastise me. ]

hypnosymphony

Just wait a little while longer, won't you? You do have other things to attend to, mind. More important than myself, and others.

After that, you can expend as much time as you'd like on all this.

emeraldcrusader

[He's currently giving this look that he's really annoyed and he's got his arms crossed.]

I know that look on your face, Writer typist thing. You've been eyeing all those "sex games". I might be the biggest idiot for turning that down, but my life consists more than just those things.

[Those things. Really.]

You know what I'm talking about, don't make me explain it. The last place I was in didn't really count but it was enough that anyone you send there would drive themselves insane. Don't even think about sending me back there, you were the one who pulled me out of there in the first place.

Why can't you at least send me to a game where I'll marginally know several people and I can be out and about doing things? You know, being helpful. [Helpful?] Yeah, helpful. [Are you sur--] Yeah, I'm sure. Like that one place where there's apparently a lot of imPorts if they even still call it that. There's that floating turtle you can send me off to. I'd prefer those places anyday over collars that choke you to death and the zodiac gods that brand you with a tattoo that spews pheromones.

buttpatting

I find it extremely insulting that you blame everything you've done so far on my face, especially with the adjectives that tend to come before it. I can hardly help the face I was born with, and nothing ill has befallen it since I have become an adult. I would be doubly insulted had I been scarred or maimed in some fashion and you still felt it appropriate to talk about it in such negative ways.

As for your addiction with putting ridiculous words next to these little pictures, I can only say that I hope you find a better method to work out whatever it is that is ailing you, because you clearly have something hidden away that needs to be resolved. This would, ordinarily, not be my concern, as you are not my patient.

If you are to finish this application, so be it. I would suggest you come up with a "third power" before you settle, however. I am a man with a great deal of potential. Surely you can come up with another.

As far aliases: I live in Baltimore, but this does not mean I'm so enamored with the city to fall back on something associated with it.

Nor am I inclined to anything that has to do with ripping, though that is marginally more tolerable than a monogamous bird that makes its nests close to shrikes. Surely you see the insult in that, do you not?

withamask

No, you shouldn't hope that he'll show up. Considering the lovely company we keep, the last thing I want is for the Commissioner to arrive. He's safer at home. Harv too. [ A sigh. ] I can't believe I just said that Gotham of all places is safer.

Didn't I— Stop putting words in my mouth. Of course I'd like to see him again. Just not in the City.

[ And what about Crispus? ] Yes, him too. [ Dryly: ] Pain-in-the-butt that he is sometimes.

theprimerprime

Listen up, mun. I thought you and I had an understanding. You don't bother me, I don't bother you. But now you're thinking about sending me back there? For what, so you can spend another couple of years laughing at my expense while I'm being insulted, blown up, manipulated, turned into unnatural things, having my career ruined and being forced to deal with organics? Just because you were talking with your friends about it? For spark's sake, if your friends decided that jumping off a space bridge was a good idea, would you go along with that, too?!

And while we're at it, I know you're in cahoots with that Starscream and his mun. Don't even think about it. I made that mistake once, and I'll be scrapped before I make it a second time. But you're twisted enough that you'd probably like that, wouldn't you?

I am only going to say this once. Don't you dare send me back to that place. Don't you dare force me back into that flimsy, stupid-looking human body. Is. That. Clear?

...

...And no,

re_alignment is NOT an acceptable compromise!

merchantofdeath

This again?

It's been, what? Over a year? Yes, I understand that the idea of giving me smoke-related powers is something you're keen on. You think it's clever and want everyone to see how clever you are. I get it, really. But you don't even own the movie, which is really quite insulting. The book? Right behind your head, and you've never even read a word of it. You'd have to do some work and I can't honestly say I have enough belief in you to do that soon. You'll put it off for another year and then come back like you didn't disappoint anyone before.

It's basically what goes on in this place—you all ruin lives. You think, "man, I really like this character! I'll put him here and watch him die and have nightmares where he kills all his loved ones." Because that's totally how you show someone you really do like them. Definitely. You are a life ruiner, that's what you are.

You're going to talk about this, and eventually complain that there aren't enough of these icons for me. Someone will pipe up offering to make more, and you'll pussyfoot around just saying, "no, don't do it, I won't go through with it," and end up with a billion of these little pictures and not a word of an app written. You'll string people along with you, too, and when you concede to defeat, you'll apologize and everyone will make you feel good because, "oh, baby, sometimes this just doesn't work out, it's okay."

Meanwhile everyone who's put in actual effort—that is, everyone but you—will feel let down because you can't just admit you have a fleeting interest.

[But Nick...]

It better be a fleeting interest, because like hell am I going anywhere. Out of everyone you have, me? No one even knows me! And I quite like it that way.

So don't nut up. Just shut up. Thank you for silence.

Dear Mun . . .

I think we have issues.
