it's time to judge everyone

IC HOT OR NOT
(get in here newbies you're invited too)
Through some miraculous meme happening, characters in the game will have 1-5 photos of themselves uploaded onto some imageboard type gallery. Even you, serious characters who wouldn't usually involve themselves with these kinds of shenanigans. Especially you.

1. Post your character, give a pic or two! Don't post anything too spicy (a.k.a. don't be nsfw, guys, that's for the game proper)
2. Character rate each other from 1 (not) to 10 (hot). Feel free to add additional commentary, this is a texting app, after all!
3. React ICly! Flirt, tease, or shit talk. It's all good.
4. If you're uncomfortable with "hot or not", you can substitute it to "cute or not". Nice or not? Maybe???
5. Have mercy on people with slow connections and make your photo embeds a reasonable size! Use the code below to link photos, and change the width number accordingly if your pic is a bit small (or still too big) at that size. There's also codes for uniform image sets here!
<img src="YOURURL" width=300>

wouldnt say selfish to want to stand out if thats what youre after

[garb4ge]

Oh, I like you.

[stormchasing]

thanks. youre not half bad yourself. you would have fit in with the carnival.

[garb4ge]

I know plenty of tricks and I can put on a show, so I think you'd be right.

[stormchasing]

can you? well if i were still with my troupe, i would have recommended you then.

[garb4ge]

I might even already have a stage name.

[stormchasing]

oh? do tell.

Private; oh hey just casually switching to private nothing to see here /whistles

[garb4ge]

The Seance.

Private; well then

[stormchasing]

[It takes her a second to realize it's been switched to private, a function she wasn't fully aware of to start with, but she has no reason to be opposed to it.]

i think ive heard of that, isnt it where people can sort of talk with the dead?

Private;

[garb4ge]

Talk with, get lectured by, get screamed at by, you know, whatever. Everyone just wants to know grandma Ruth isn't disappointed in them.

[Or, you know, realistically they'll just be reassured that they really were their father's biggest disappointment. That's what everyone wants to hear.]

Private;

[stormchasing]

[Yasha gets the appeal, but has no interest in it. Especially after watching Jester use her magic to talk with the dead.]

so its something you can do? like a spell you can cast?

Private;

[garb4ge]

Something like that.

[Actually, it's more of an 'every sober waking moment of his life so far' sort of thing, but that seems a little much to share with a complete stranger. Yasha's the only one who's gotten anything about it out of him so far, actually.]

Private;

[stormchasing]

[Yasha doesn't know enough or is insightful enough to piece all of it together, but he seems a little less talkative and made the conversation private, so she figures not to push it.]

ive seen someone do it before, looked unpleasant. i dont envy it.

Private;

[garb4ge]

[Yeah, that's where all the drugs and alcohol come in.]

See, I knew I liked you. Beauty and brains.

Private;

[stormchasing]

[That flusters her a little, she's never been called out for her brains before. She figures it's more a joke anyway.]

well, same here.

i'm yasha by the way.

Private;

[garb4ge]

[It's not actually a joke. She's probably smart in the same way he is, he figures: she can read people and situations better than people expect.]

Right, people do seem to give those out in this place.

Klaus.

Private;

[stormchasing]

[He's not wrong. She's used to watching more than interacting.]

do people not usually give out names where you're from?

Private;

[garb4ge]

I think I'm just used to using my phone to communicate with people who don't actually want to give their real names to anyone.

Private;

[stormchasing]

ah. we dont have these where i'm from, so i wasn't aware of any etiquette.

just figured you weren't ready to reveal your stage name to the public.

Private;

[garb4ge]

Most of 'the public' just assumes you're on drugs when you tell them you can see ghosts.

I mean, stuff can be two things, people.

Private;

[stormchasing]

[See ghosts? That was different than what she thought he had been talking about. Still, she had no intention to push for answers. It was his to tell at his pace.]

the public often can be assholes about what they havent ever experienced or cant understand.

they often think that because there are two sides that they must belong to the same coin.

[Too many times she's seen people be cruel to the people she cares for because they happen to not look "normal" or have something "abnormal" about their abilities or behavior.]

Private;

[garb4ge]

[Well, this is getting uncomfortably deep with a complete stranger.

Probably the better person to get uncomfortably deep with, honestly.]

Heh, well. Not all of us can be famous movie stars like our siblings. That's a lesson for anyone to learn.

[Powers or not.]

Private;

[stormchasing]

[She honestly has no idea what he just said.]

i

i have no idea what a movie star is.

but i think i understand your point anyway.

Private;

[garb4ge]

...that hadn't occurred to me as a possibility.

Like, a celebrity. An 'It' person. That kind of thing.

Private;

[stormchasing]

ah okay. suppose i understand.

no, i agree, but i dont think that should mean people cant dream or strive. if everyone gave up, no one would make it.
