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>

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.

[garb4ge]

Was ... that a joke?

When I manifested, it wasn't a -- bad thing.

It wasn't that loud here at first.

[hymnals]

I'm capable of light humor.

[gET it]

Well, if it's not bad, then ...

[then he'll leave it alone!]

Is it very loud now?

[garb4ge]

Heh.

...it's been getting worse.

Around the moon, it was worse.

[And now he's got mounting paranoia that it's going to be escalatingly worse for the moon cycles. It's making him want to be numb again something fierce.]

[hymnals]

I believe the Light can bring you peace, at least for a time. The dead dislike it, and would likely avoid you for at least a short while after you were blessed.

[garb4ge]

So you ... what, just have to bless me?

I've heard this pick up line before.

[hymnals]

Don't start.

[garb4ge]

...okay, but literally only because I'm desperate for help.

[hymnals]

[gOD]

That's what it takes, huh

Well, in any case, next time it gets overwhelming, come see me. You can find out for yourself whether the offer is legitimate or not.

[garb4ge]

[Look, this is even with him TRYING.]

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll do that. And if it works, I'll do -- whatever you want.

[hymnals]

It's not a transaction, Klaus.

[garb4ge]

Everything's a transaction.

[That's a completely healthy way to view your own life, right, in terms of your value to other people constantly...]

[hymnals]

Not to me.

[he'd be growling it if this were voice; as it stands, he just punched the keys viciously. he's gonna break this fuckin thing eventually]

[garb4ge]

[Klaus is -- honestly just confused, at this point.]

I mean -- okay?

[hymnals]

I offered to help you because you needed it, not because there's anything I want from you.
