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! ]

If you have to ask it's probably too late.

Coming out of this with a positive assessment.

It's about confidence.

Oh.

[...]

[He could explain himself, but ultimately decides against it.]


Well, that's okay. It doesn't have to be positive. As long as you're having fun!

Wait, are you seriously on this post and you don't care if you're hot or not?

...I mean, it's just a game, right?

[He's already made a fool of himself once on this post he has none shame remaining at this point.]

Yeah, but do you know how games work?

[personal profile] earnedmystripes 2024-03-20 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I do! You're supposed to have fun!

You're supposed to have fun and you're supposed to win.

[ duh ]

Winning isn't everything, you know!

It's not everything... but it's pretty great.

[...okay, he can't argue with that one. His strawman is tatters in the wind, rip in pieces. Time to build a new one! After a moment:]

I don't not care. S'just, not exactly confident to get worked up about it either, right?

[He'd really just been unsure what to say because he wanted to make sure she had enough to go on so it'd still be as fun as the sighted version ....... but catch him admitting that never.]
