“Wow.. you’re beautiful, truly!! Er.. sorry if this is a weird question do you have any tips on wing-care..? whenever mine come out I’m not sure how to like.. keep them looking nice? You seem to have a lot of them, so I thought you might know?”
Okay, I have no idea if this is too close or anything to regular one-line threads, but... Here's a new thread! It's your usual IC game, but with only dialogue. Unless your OC announces what they're doing/going to do, it can pretty much just be interpreted as a conversation. So no action beyond those quotation marks, basically!
As always, rules:
- No NSFW! Please.
- Sensitive content is allowed, but please spoil it/black it out. If you aren't sure, it's better to be safe than sorry.
- You can post after every 3 people, unless 2 days have passed. I'll change this if this takes off.
- There are no limits to length. You can make your character say a single word, or a wall of rambling. Just be aware that you can't be upset if the person below you didn't match your length! This is meant to be somewhat low-effort, so that's your warning.
- Follow-ups are allowed, but must be dialogue-only as well.
I'm probably forgetting something, but whatever! The person below me may get a free claim. If this posts IC, ignore it, I'll tell off whichever OC did it later.
"You're just like me... even I'm an anxious mess... I wish I wasn't, but you know how it is. It's always the same day but with more worries..."

"Ohhh, you have no idea... but you're right about how unpredictable this world is... it's too chaotic!"
"Damn the life you live seems to be torturous, I mean I'm not one who's been through the best of childhoods but reading about you made me realize I'm at least able to live without being paralyzed by bad luck. Although I mega relate to being an anxious wreck at times. Fuck how unpredictable the world is man."

“Yooo that got me in the gut. Thanks man.”
"It hits more people than you think, kid. Take it from someone like me who had nothing and no one but me and myself from before your age, for years. World might be unpredictable, but so are we. All we gotta do is dig deep and find what's good, and use that to take this world by its horns and sling that bitch at the sun. You might've had some real bad shit happen to you, but I guarantee it ain't as bad as it your head might make it seem. We're all our own worse enemy, right?"
v "Realistically, indoctrination is one way to do it. Find yourself up shit creek without a paddle at thirteen, and you learn to make do with what's around you, even if it includes associating with killers and thieves. Really though, if I can bury some bad people in a hollow grave, then maybe some kid won't catch a stray bullet while skipping to get ice cream. I'd rather get my hands dirty so others can keep theirs clean, and I'd be lying if I didn't say ending the lives of some of these people doesn't make me feel good, deep down. That's why I stay in this life and all the shit that comes with it, and I got nothing else waiting for me. Hey, maybe that kid can become an astronaut, and not a statistic or some ashes on a shelf. Or maybe he'll be the one to gun me down years later. At least he'll be able to make that choice, thanks to what I do."
"You are a man of honor and discipline. I respect that in you. However, your pupil, is he? Maybe your friend. I do not respect him and think he should be sent to a shrine where they will teach him how to properly behave. The young people these ages have no ethic."
"Kid. Here's a few things you ought to know about robots and androids. You can't trust them. They always turn on their masters or creators. And they will eventually try to eliminate us as biological life forms."

"Good for you. I'm sure you're doing this for survivability."
"I don't even trust anyone anymore anyway. I already know they're out to get me, regardless of what they are or who they are. They're all enemies..."
"If you have any specific books available, I would like to check for antique works at some duration."
v "They can. I would not advise nearing in any case."
“do those things on your head bite? I have an irrational fear of snakes so as cool as you are, I’m not sure I’d be comfortable approaching if they are sentient and protective over you”

"Oh, you aren't wrong about that! However, violence is almost never the answer so don't worry about being around me little guy! Unless you're a wasp, fuck wasps."
