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! ]

[muskullar]

Sure, why not? You seem like someone who has...sound judgment.

[ this is followed by the anticipatory pause and badly concealed sniggering of someone clearly waiting for laughter and applause for her incredible joke. ]

[fieldtrip]

[ That would have been pulled off much better without the laughing at her own joke at the end. Just saying.

Toph can't resist getting a joke of her own back. Sounding dead serious: ]

Is that a blind joke?

[muskullar]

[ If she didn't laugh, how would other people know it's supposed to be funny? Alas, Gideon might be more worried about giving offense if she wasn't a) fully willing to own up to her shitty jokes and b) a dumbass. ]

Uh, more of a hearing joke, I guess? If I wanted to make a blind joke, I would have said something about being well-read...because I have red hair...okay, I'm now seeing where there may be a stumbling block on this one.

[fieldtrip]

[ it's called having self-confidence, Gideon

Toph is disappointed her own attempt at trolling doesn't work. She sighs. Loudly. ]

Geez, you think you're a regular comedian. I said I wasn't going to judge based on what someone said instead of how they sound, but you're making it really tough.

[muskullar]

[ Oh, she's plenty confident she's funny, she's just worried her jokes are so clever that she needs to explain them in case people don't understand. ]

Whoa, you are good at this! Really tough's exactly the kinda vibe I'm going for, how'd you know?

[ Is it possible to tell someone's flexing just by audio? Who knows, but Gideon's trying her best. ]

[fieldtrip]

[ Ah. An issue of taste rather than confidence. Actually worse. ]

Pass.

[ That would be the "not" part of "hot or not". The tiny girl has cast judgment. ]

[muskullar]

What? Come on, you totally laughed on the inside, admit it. That was some of my best material!

[ Not that she actually wants a tiny prepubescent girl to be into her...but it's about the principle of the matter!! ]

[fieldtrip]

I would've laughed if you actually did make a blind joke. Instead you were too much of a coward.

[muskullar]

Please, I don't go for the low-hanging fruit. Though I guess they'd be out of reach fruit, in your case.

That was a short joke, by the way.
