"Hm... someone like you is probably pretty good in fights. Don't seem like the type to pick em though- do you ever just spar for fun? Good way to stay sharp. Good way to get your energy out. I'd offer but I think you're a bit too... tall. For me to stand a chance."
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.
"oh hello there young child. do you want some candy?" (she talked like a grandma but her voice sounded young lol)
V
"Young ones these days, really are different from the past. Sometimes after church visits kids like to accept candy from me and now they change. Good for your safety kiddo I'm not blaming you" *patted their head*
^ “I’m older than I seem - but yes, people have changed. Shame for that.”
-
“You look as if you are a fine young lady, yet here you are offering candy to strangers’ children? I’d be wary of your type.”
-
v “if you’d be so kind to leave a name, I can have them to you by this evening perhaps. As for the cake, I suppose I can surprise you.”
"By the Gods, you are mass-- whatever, I don't care. Never mind. I have an order for a dozen cannolis, if you can do that. Call upon me. Leave a cake, too. I don't know what kind."
--
v "If you touch my cake I will hit you. No."
"Awww, okay..."
^
"Cake?! Can I join in? I love cake..."
V
"They think I'm too loud and annoying, that's all. I get that a lot."
"... I wish I knew how to cook. I bet V1 takes really good care of you- it must be nice to care for them, back. To pull warm bread from the oven, to swaddle them in.... In.... bread. And... more bread. Do you make them bread? This one time I tried bread, and it was so good--!"
"Well met, whatever you are. I'm sorry if I approach at an improper time. But...If life is harmful to your state of being, I am willing to help in any way you wish. Forgive a rather old soul for speaking like this. I like your clothes"
"So... do you also bottle in your emotions, too? It's painful, it sucks, but I guess at some point you're forced to be vulnerable. I bet you'd hate it even more if you never asked for it, either, y’know, the lump in your throat, the voice crack-- yeah. You get what I mean, right?"
V
"Exactly why I don't cry. I feel too grown up to bawl like a hatchling in timeout. And I genuinely did not need my heart to almost explode, thanks. Why else do I stay away from people and guard my stuff? 'Cuz now that I think about it, I just don't wanna die! At least not for long."
"Being upset and sad and angry all the time is so bad for your skin, you know. If you even care. But, then there's everything else. Did you know that if you cry a lot, eventually your heart explodes? That's what my aunt told me. Coping mechanisms can only do so much, so maybe you should seek medical help to make sure your heart won't explode and you won't die!"
"Huh, I think you're pretty cute if I don't say so myself. Not in a romantic way of course, I'm not like that I promise! But your outfits... what's the word for it... lowkey slay? Idk what that means, but it's a good thing from what I've heard. Must be nice to have all that cash on ya!"
-
“Oh course dude! Volleyball, that’s the one where you go up and smack the ball right?”
"Yeah, that one. I'm a little bad at it, considering that it's been forever since I've played. Maybe you could teach me?"
^
"Okay, um-- this might be a random question to ask but would you, by any chance, like to play a game of volleyball with me and my friends?"
V
"Oh-- uhh-- thanks! Um... I guess you could say I'm something of a sailor... now that I'm back here where I belong. And yes, I can fly, I just don't too often so I can't fly that high."
