006 ✤ video (during the AU event)

[coordinatroll]

[ The video opens with Mitama, your local hard-working high school girl at the top of her class, currently taking a small break from her studies (if you squint hard enough, you might see some textbooks lying around on her desk) to address the network, waving her hand as a greeting. ]

I know there have been some weird happenings observed lately, but I would like to urge everyone to stay calm! This is Aldrip, after all; our lovely little town is as perfect a place to live as can be, so I'm sure whatever caused those will pass soon.

[ Obviously, she can't know that for certain, but it's hard not to assume that. After all, nothing bad ever happens here, so things will go back to how they usually are soon and they can all laugh about it later. ]

In the meantime, would anyone care for a little game to distract ourselves from all that and cheer ourselves up? I figured we could all use a bit of harmless fun, so I'd like to announce the first official round of Aldrip's very own Hot or Not!

[ The girl holds up a handmade sign to the camera with a bright smile. God only knows where she came up with this idea, but she's nothing if not resourceful, so you can probably expect this to become a big thing some time in the future...! ]

So! What are the rules, you ask? It's pretty simple! Just leave a comment here with your name and a picture or two, and other residents will rate your attractiveness! They can do so either signed or anonymously, for those who'd rather not reveal their identity just yet~ Oh, and if you know someone who's too shy to post themselves, feel free to do them a favor and drop their name below!

Oh, and remember: this is all in good fun! Be polite, okay~? ♥

[ ooc: "But how can we ever make an IC Hot or Not meme canon," the discord lamented. "Hold my green tea, I have zero restraint or self-respect," I said, and here we are! Feel free to namedrop characters + their pictures (preferably linked, to spare this post from becoming picture-heavy), discuss, gossip, take advantage of the AU settings for characters who wouldn't participate otherwise ─ in other words, just go wild and have fun! ]

[ OOC note: Second image is from the Rebirth press kit. It has no spoilers visible/is just a close-up of Cloud's face. ]

yeah, sure, why not.

[ No guesses for who might have put him up to this, but you'll get two photos of Aldrip's favorite busybody. ]

i
don't exactly take the best photos.

[ Self-conscious, huh? ]

Charm! (So.. anon. Sorry pal.)

[drugsnotclubs]

damn, yeah?

Those pics are fine, definitely on the high end of a 9. The eyes are nice as hell.


[...also it looks like he's pouting like he's begging for cock]

you know, the anon is for the best

[identitycrisiscore]

i swear i smile more than the pictures let on.
i've been told i have a good smile, even!
weird i can't find any photos that show it off.

but hey, if me looking like someone told me a dog got hurt gets me a 9, i can't complain.

It really is. Bless the charms...

[drugsnotclubs]

maybe you've just got the sad version of resting bitch face

But that's fine it means people probably feel special as hell when they get a smile

Damn that is a hurt dog face, isn't it.... yeah.

[identitycrisiscore]

honestly? could be.
no one ever told me i had, but...

[ But what else explains it? ]

yeah, exactly, like i just saw a dog limping past and felt bad or something.
i guess you're right though, must make the times i smile all the better.

[bonobos]

[identitycrisiscore]

i dunno.
i like to think i smile more, but when i look at the photo, i always look like someone just told me something heartbreaking.
people would think i'm a real downer.

but maybe you're right and i just need some confidence.

[bonobos]

[murderingjustice]

puppy eyes, i see.

[identitycrisiscore]

yeaaaah.
i get told that a lot.

[ It's embarrassing! ]

[murderingjustice]

it's not very attractive feature, unfortunately.

otherwise, no comments other than good job.

[identitycrisiscore]

well, can't blame you for being honest.
though... 'good job'?

[ Of all the responses on a hot or not, he wasn't expecting that one. ]

[murderingjustice]

well.. yes.

you clearly have been working out.

[solitarysoul]

why do you look so sad?

cute but with the resting kicked puppy face too sad to do anything. sorry man.

[identitycrisiscore]

honestly, that's fair.
as for why i look so sad? couldn't tell ya, really.
i always end up having photos that make it look like i'm this sad. it's weird.

[everblooms]

[ SIGH. MEN. ]

no worries, okay? i've got this one. pretty handsome, if you ask me!

[murderingjustice]

[oh...


He is looking. Respectfully.]

[identitycrisiscore]

...when did you take this?

[ Not that he exactly minds, but also... ]

[everblooms]

the other night at the bar. lucky shot, huh?

[identitycrisiscore]

no kidding.
it's a good shot.
guess i'll have to find a chance to get you back for that one.
