New Blog

I am compiling my Teen Titans muses into one blog here. Given I am working on fleshing out more Teen Titans characters, I decided it best to put them all in one place, rather than make blogs for each individual character. The blogs punsandtofu, itsamadmodworld, thatwackymagician, and whatifterra will remain until I (hopefully? eventually?) compile all their relevant content over here. I may also continue using these blogs, should there be people who refuse to interact with multi-muse blogs.

Awwww, he considered him a pal~ But that wasn’t the point. Roddy was well aware of what Mumbo was capable of- at least, going off of what Mitch told him. Might as well try to be the more levelheaded of the two?

“I-I-I-I mean…I-I guess it is rather n-nice out. Sssssooooo, um….w-what are your plans f-for the day, then? A-a walk in the park?” 

“I was thinkin’ the usual. You know; have some fun; spread some chaos? Buuuut I guess we can start with a walk in the park and go from there! Maybe we can cause some chaos at the park!” He tapped a finger to his chin in thought. “Maybe I can put on a show and steal everyone’s money as my grand finale!”

When his tears - or well, probably not his actual tears, but a magic-variant of them coming from the mask - came, Starfire gasped, and her frown deepened some more. “Ouh, no, please do not say that!” It was a difficult situation, no doubt, but not wanting to live? That were some of the most terrible words to say, as a phrase.

“It will be all right!” She couldn’t really guarantee that, but she wanted to make her new friend feel better and that was likely the way to do it, so she now also reached over to hug him. “I will ask Raven about it, and surely there can be a way to allow you more control!” Or perhaps remove the hat from him even.

Mitchell waved the smoke away, sniffling and trying to calm down. While he hadn’t intended the phrase to come off as suicidal, he’d be lying if he said the thought had never occurred to him. “Do you really think she can help? Would she be willing to help me?” He pulled his wand out of his hat and used his magic to dry up the puddles of tears he’d left on the floor.

RP Blogs!

(I will try to keep out of character posts to a minimum here, but I would just like to point out that I have a Mad Mod roleplay blog and a The Amazing Mumbo roleplay blog. Both of these blogs are multiverse and I’m adding a duo verse to both!  If you’d like to interact with these characters outside of the single verse linear story I have going, feel free to contact me!)

“M…M…Mr. M-M-Mitch?”

So he was telling the truth. Roddy was giving Mitch the benefit of the doubt and being non-judgmental, regardless of whether or not he thought the whole hat story was true or not. But now here it was, staring at him in the face like his cat whenever he woke up in the morning.

Not exactly sure what he was in for with Mumbo, he started off the conversation as neutral as possible.  “I’m…I’m…um…o-okay? How…um…h-how are y-y-y-you d-doing today?” 

“Ah-ah-ah~” Mumbo playfully wagged a finger. “Not Mitch; Mumbo! The Amazing Mumbo, actually. But you can just call me Mumbo, kid, ‘cause I like ya!” While he did lose his sanity when donning the hat, Mitchell’s memories were left relatively intact; particularly the fact he had fond, albeit brief, feelings for the child. “And I’m doin’ just swell! I’ve got my magic, the sun’s out, and now I got a pal to spend this beeee-yoo-tee-ful day with!”

starfirechan‌:

Well. That made sense, but it didn’t make it any better. Sure, she could be there for him when he wasn’t Mumbo, but, that would be difficult while he is in jail and from what he had already told her, he didn’t have a choice in taking it off when not in jail. “I am most sorry.”

And there wasn’t really anything else she could say to it - it was another confirmation for her to ask Raven about it, but she didn’t want to actually mention that unless her friend would be able to truly think of a way to help.

Mitchell could feel the tears starting to well up in his eyes behind his mask.

Sure, he’d known this to be true for a while, but he was usually able to focus his attention elsewhere. When in jail, he’d keep his mind on the schedule in place. The presence of structure helped keep his thoughts from wondering about his life too much. On the occasion that he could feel his mind wandering, he’d beg the orderlies for some sort of task to distract himself. Now, however, he had no distractions. Nor did he have his hat-induced insanity to keep him from caring. What he did have was magic and said magic led to cascades of tears spraying from the eyes of his mask. “I don’t want to live like thi-hi-his!” he sobbed. “I don’t want to harm people! I don’t want to live the rest of my life in jail!” His sobs soon turned into coughing, filling the room with clouds of smoke.

Her frown only deepened when he elaborated. As complicated as it might make things once they encounter one another in a fight again, at least Starfire knew one thing of this that she could fix. “If you wish, you do not need to be alone any longer! I would be happy to be your friend! And surely Silkie would be delighted to meet you, as well!” Or maybe not - the last time the larva encountered a villain he didn’t react in a friendly way; but surely it would be different here. It had to. As for rabbits, well… the team didn’t have any and she couldn’t exactly start having some only for Mitchell to visit them when he isn’t too taken over by the hat, but… “And perhaps you can befriend rabbits, or other animals, that belong to other people? Or those that are living free, in the park?” She wasn’t sure if there were any ‘wild’ rabbits there, but it probably was possible, right?

Mitchell sighed through his nose and offered her a sad smile. “I appreciate the offer, I really do, but I don’t know how that would work. When I’m not insane and causing chaos, I’m in jail. As for befriending other animals, well... I’m usually in jail.” He sighed and shook his head. “And I’ll never be out of jail without the use of the hat. The thing that put me in jail is the only thing that can get me out. It’s a vicious cycle I’ll never escape until death.” He removed his hat and looked at it. “It’s jail and Mumbo; Mumbo and jail. That’s my life now. All because of this hat.”

[thatwackymagician]

starfirechan‌:

“Most adorable!” The thought of rabbits in general, but also of him with rabbits. Non-magic ones, that meant. She smiled to his little story, and could almost imagine the rabbits living in the hutch.

When Mitchell explained that he had to give up on them, Starfire frowned a little. “I am sorry. It is terrible to be forced to part from a pet you are holding dear!” And that he would likely never be able to keep some again, with how the hat controlled him (or maybe rather let him lose all control) - what a terrible fate!

He nodded sadly. “Yeah... They were pretty much my only friends too...” he sighed. “Pathetic, isn’t it? Without my rabbits, I’m all alone now... I mean, I do have an older brother I talk to sometimes, but he lives out of state...”

[thatwackymagician]

starfirechan‌:

Starfire smiled at him when he returned, and nodded. “Oh, thank you!“ For the chance to ask some questions, that meant. “I have seen the area over there - you have held pets before?” She pointed at the hutch when asking - it was the thing she was most curious about.

Mitchell looked over at the hutch and exhaled with a sad smile. "Oh, yes. I used to keep cute little rabbits. I was interested in magic from a young age, you see, so I had to come across a rabbit at some point. Turns out they’re quite delicate and should never be pulled up by their ears, despite what they show in cartoons. Even so, I fell in love with the little creatures. They reminded me of myself a little. I was actually a pretty shy kid when I wasn’t performing, heh,” he smiled a bit bashfully. “Anyway,” he sighed, “I kept rabbits for years, but I had to give up my most recent ones after I got arrested. Can’t take care of rabbits from jail... I do miss them dearly, even if I can never have them again.”

starfirechan‌:

“Oh, please do not worry about me! My people are most resilient, and it is very rare that I am catching an earthen sickness!” Or maybe she had just been lucky so far, it was hard to say for sure. But Starfire liked helping others when they needed it, so it was better to assume she would be resisting any kind of sickness.

She smiled to his words, and nodded. “Of course! I will happily be company!” And another nod to confirm him that she didn’t mind if he’d go the bathroom first, Starfire glanced back to think through what she brought. She had brought pre-prepared soups too, those in tiny bags that only needed water and one or two of those in tins as well; but she was capable of cooking, so maybe making something fresh would be nice! And she did have enough ingredients to get something done, so that would work well.

Mitchell quickly used the restroom before joining Starfire in the kitchen and looking through what she bought. Seemed she was pretty thorough on anything he might need. "Now that I can talk without coughing up a lung,” he coughed slightly, but not a lot, “feel free to ask me anything. I’m not particularly interesting, but I figured I should offer.”

[thatwackymagician]

starfirechan‌:

Even though she wasn’t looking around to snoop, it did feel like being caught when she heard Mitchell spoke to her. She turned around quickly, and smiled. “Of course! As long as there is no mission that is requiring my presence, I will not leave someone that is sick!” Starfire pointed over to the by now empty bags: “I have aqcuired some food, as well! So if you are hungry, perhaps I shall prepare a soup?” From what she had learned, soups were one of the most popular foods during sicknesses, so surely they must be of some help too.

She was staying to help him? She really was too sweet for her own good. “Are you sure you want to stay? I don’t want to get you sick too... Though I guess that, if you were going to catch it, you’d already be infected... Sorry.” He scratched the back of his neck. “I certainly wouldn’t mind some soup and company though, if it’s not a bother. I’m used to either living alone or in jail,” he admitted. Oh, right. He’d gotten up to use the bathroom. “Mind if I use the restroom real quick first?” he asked sheepishly.

[thatwackymagician]

starfirechan‌:

When she returned, Starfire was worried for a moment when she didn’t see him on the couch anymore. Did he leave? Maybe he needed something, and couldn’t wait on her returning? Ouh, she shouldn’t have just left!

Hurriedly placing the bags she carried, she was about to head out again in search for him, when she spotted the bedroom, or rather that someone was in the bed. She quietly hovered over, and upon seeing that it was indeed Mitchell, she smiled a little in relief before returning to sort the bought goods. Once that was done, she looked around his apartment a little - not that she was eager to snoop around or anything, she just tried to not immediately start preparing a soup or do one of the other things she knew as help for someone being sick, and for that she needed a distraction. The photos were interesting - it was always a curious thing to see someone in a different phase of their life than what she knew of, in this case a clearly very much younger Mitchell, and not blue then either. And it seemed like he had held rabbits before, or at least that’s what she assumed the hutch could be for. Maybe some other animals would fit into the same too.

It wasn’t long before Mitchell woke up again. The medicine seemed to be doing its job as he was soon reaching for tissues to tend to his sinus drainage. At least he could breathe through his nose now. Putting his hat on and dragging himself out of bed, he trudged over to the bathroom. Upon catching a glimpse of Starfire, however, he paused. “...You’re still here?” he cocked his head, confused. Did she change her mind about him not owing her anything?

[thatwackymagician]

starfirechan‌:

Any hopes of still having something to eat here were quickly erased, it was clear that what he had predicted was true. The signs were obvious that he hadn’t been here long, and any remaining food was already expired or worse. Nodding to herself, Starfire decided that food was an important thing to have, especially when sick, and reassured herself that she had the key ready to get back in before looking around once more.

She noticed the cover on the couch-back and gently pulled on it, taking care to not wake him by pulling it away. Once she had it in her hands, she opened it up and shook it out once - just in case it would be too dusty and somehow giving discomfort because of that - before placing it above Mitchell. Starfire might not be able to tell the temperature, neither of the room nor of him, but she knew that usually people who were sick were covered with at least one, if not multiple, blankets, so that must be of help in some way. Besides, it felt better than just leaving him without doing anything for him beforehand. With that done, she then left, doing her best to remember the way she took in order to find back later, and looking for a near supermarket.

During the time Starfire was gone, a sneeze had woken Mitchell up. Groggy, he didn’t think to look for Starfire and instead took some decongestant before going to his bedroom. Out of it, he didn’t even think to use his magic to change clothes and instead put his pajamas on the old fashioned way before setting his hat on his nightstand and slipping into bed.

Nodding to the details, Starfire mentally repeated them a few times to make sure she wouldn’t forget them. “Thank you!” She put the key into her pocket, and moments later Mumbo- no, Mitchell, beame very unsteady. She did her best to catch him before he would fall, and soon found herself carrying him completely.

But it was okay, she knew where to head to, and now slightly hovered as it was simply the easier (and somewhat faster) form of movement for her. There was one block which she suspected he meant, and so she reached that soon and looked for the right name. When it matched, she went in, up to the apartement and with the key into the apartement too. The bed would probably be the best for him to rest at, but for now Starfire carefully placed him onto the couch, before properly looking around. She could figure out what would be needed to be bought by herself too, right? He might want to have something to eat - or water, or basically anything one could want - once he wakes, so while she might not bring everything, she could go out and get some basics for him, groceries-wise, right? First to check if there were still things here, though.

His apartment wasn’t large, but it was perfectly livable for one person. Though dusty, it was rather tidy. It wasn’t particularly obvious that he lived there, save for the occasional photo of himself. Most photos were from when he was significantly younger, with a full head of fluffy brown hair and a zest for life. Another thing of note was a rabbit hutch that, thankfully, was empty. If she were to investigate his kitchen, she would find nothing edible. His milk was spoiled, his produce was rotten, and any packaged food was expired. Not surprising, given how long he’d been in jail.

If getting a face full of water hadn’t surprised him, the fan surely did.

Letting out a shriek, Roddy stumbled back a few times, eventually falling flat onto his bottom….and with his hair sticking up wildly in a few places.

“It is you!” Mumbo ruffled the kid’s hair, magically putting it back in place. “How ya doin’ Roddy?”
