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! ]

I would not demand such a thing of you.

But if a gauge of attractiveness is what you are after, would it not be wise to show off your attractive features one way or another?

Not demanding, but certainly making a roundabout request for the same thing.

Regardless, I... suppose you have a point. A moment.


[Insert image of Themis in a fitted sleeveless turtleneck because I sure as hell cannot find one! He is pointedly looking away from the camera, though.]

Beautiful.

Your musculature is exquisite.

It

Thank you.


[He'd been about to protest with "it's not that impressive", but decides against it.]

Are you not going to reciprocate in kind?

I am in the field at the moment... but I think I can accomodate your request.

Apologies in advance if it does not turn out well. I'm not the best at taking photographs.


[It takes a moment... but a photo pops up not long after of a man reclining on his side in the grass, deep bronze skin contrasting with the verdant blades in the foreground, shirt open to display a hint of the contours beneath... though it appears as though he'd grown bashful at the last second, eyes having fluttered closed so that one saw only the dusting of coppery lashes on his cheeks.

A self-conscious smile adorns his lips.]

There are genuine works of art less beautiful than this, Erichthonios.

I do not know that I am worthy of such praise, but it brings me joy to read it.

I hope that you will not treat me as a work of art though.

[personal profile] heartofsalvation 2024-04-05 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Of course you are.

Come now, what do you mean? Have I ever changed my treatment of you for the worse?

But, as I understand it, works of art are not often allowed to be touched.

Is that not so?

[He walked right into that one. Themis spends a moment being quietly embarrassed.]

Not unless I become the artist who works upon it.

[personal profile] beshackled 2024-04-05 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
In that case... would you like to work upon me tonight?

My artist.

My, someone's feeling bold today. Why don't we take this somewhere a little more private...?

[personal profile] beshackled 2024-04-05 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Very well.

I shall await your message eagerly.


[The kids can have fun with their rating game. He has what he wants.]
