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>

There's probably a legal stipulation about that somewhere, yes. 'If trapped on unknown alien planet with part of family, must tell others that it is your favorite part of the family'.

Who are they?

[garb4ge]

Vanya and Ben.

If you've seen a sweet girl with a violin who looks like she's trying to blend into the wallpaper and a nerdy, breakfast-obsessed Asian guy in a hoodie, you've probably run into them.

[hymnals]

I see. I'm glad you've got them with you.

I have just the one brother, myself. Semi-deceased. It's probably good that he isn't here.

[garb4ge]

Semi-deceased.

We talking zombie, or -- what, poltergeist?

[hymnals]

I suppose 'zombie' is the most accurate term, though he's not a shambling, brainless corpse. Not any more brainless than when he was alive, anyway.

[garb4ge]

--Shit.

Yeah, I can see how that'd be a lot to deal with. And I know 'a lot to deal with'.

[hymnals]

Yeah? You have undead where you're from?

[garb4ge]

I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if we did. I haven't exactly asked around on the subject.

[hymnals]

Well, hopefully not. The curse of undeath is agony.

[garb4ge]

I'd assume. Lots of angry spirits as it is, yeah?

[hymnals]

Spirits beyond counting. I've pacified many of those in my lifetime. But they're a little easier for me to handle than the ones with bodies.

[garb4ge]

Like ... you make them shut the hell up and leave you alone? That kind of pacify?

[Shit, he's been going about this whole 'not telling anyone about his powers' thing all wrong, hasn't he?]

[hymnals]

I prefer to think of it as 'sending them to their final rest', but you could put it that way.

I am a priest, after all.

[garb4ge]

Is that like, a thing you can teach to other people?

[hymnals]

Why do you ask?

[garb4ge]

Oh, you know. Just curious.

[You're convincing no one, Klaus.]

So, can you teach people or not?

[hymnals]

I don't know, I've never tried it.

[like, probably not, though.]

Are you going to tell me what this is about?

[garb4ge]

Are you going to keep bringing it up at increasingly frequent intervals if I don't?

[D e f l e c t i n g]

[hymnals]

Absolutely.

Private;

[garb4ge]

Then you want the short version, or the long version?

Actually, no, fuck that.

I see ghosts. I manifested someone a couple of times. It was a whole thing.

[hymnals]

Ah.

[INTENSE.]

I guess it follows that if your brother has some special skill, you would, too.

Stressful one, though.

[garb4ge]

Yep, we all got that lovely little blessing.

Stressful? What could be stressful about being in constant contact with spirits?

[Ha.]

[hymnals]

Well--

[wAIT.]

Oh. You're being sarcastic.

[anyway.]

I'm not sure I could teach you to exorcise them. You don't follow the Light.

I could probably help you cope with it in other ways, though.

[garb4ge]

To be fair, the light usually hurts my eyes.

[He's immediately suspicious about the 'other ways' thing, though.]

If you're going to tell me all I need is clean living and a healthy diet, save it.

[hymnals]

That's why you don't look at it directly.

[joke? not a joke??]

No. You said you've manifested them before. I can take care of it if something like that happens again. And if their voices trouble you too much, my magic can probably dull the roar. Like temporary warding.
