006 ✤ video (during the AU event)

[ 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! ]

define what you mean by 'answer their questions'

When they ask me if I think they look nice, I say yes.

But... sometimes I think they don't want me to say yes. They'll be happier if I say something about their outfit instead.

I think some get embarrassed if I say anything though, so it's better to change the topic for them so they don't have to.

That's.... kinda fucked up

I guess so.

[ What's he going to say, no??

Denying it seems like something Shinjiro wouldn't want him to say too, so -- ]

.....what are you even getting out of doing it?

[personal profile] memori3s 2024-03-19 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know.

[ Shinjiro can probably hear the sound of his brain breaking from over there. ]

It just feels like the right thing to do for some reason.

[ Personas and having your own identity outside of what you think others want out of you? What's that -- ]

I mean that just sounds like being considerate to me!

[NO]

[ See? Kotone gets it. Truly this is why they are related -- ]

It's not weird, is it?

[ uh oh. Enabler meet enabler... ]

I don't think so? Different people like to hear different things, and there's nothing wrong with that!

It's not like you're lying to them or anything, right?


[Except: do they know you have more than one girlfriend. We're not asking that question.]

[ um... Look away, Kotone... Look away...... ]

No. It's not a lie.

[ Thank God someone gets it... ]

[What they don't know can't hurt them-]

Then that's fine! If you were lying, that'd be different I think.

Isn't it way better to say what's from your heart, Koto? I want to hear what you actually think, instead of thinking what I want to hear.

Dork!! 🥰

Anyway, you're different. I don't think there's anything I could say honestly that would upset you!
