I don't think I've seen one like this around, so...

Is there something your OC is worried about or stuck on? Are they burning with a question YOU don't quite know how to answer? Try asking somebody else's OC for advice!

This is pretty simple. Post IC and ask the user below you for advice on something. The next person to post will post IC and give advice to your OC, then they'll ask for advice for themself! So it'll look something like this:

Character A: "I'm worried my friends don't like me anymore. What should I do?"
Character B: "You should try to take them aside and chat with them, let them know how you feel! I'm sure it just seems that way, but there's probably just something else going on!"
"As for me... No matter how hard I try, I just can't focus on my work! Is there anything I can do to make it easier?"

And so on. If you'd like, feel free to edit your post and have your OC respond to the advice the person below gave you, too!

RULES:

1. Be polite! Don't use a call for advice as an opportunity to chew a character out, whether IC-ly or not... They're asking for help, so give them some!
2. Try to put at least some effort into your advice. They'll appreciate it!
3. Wait at least 4 people before posting again. However, if the thread goes a few days without new posts, feel free to go again to get it back into action.
4. If, for whatever reason, you have problems with somebody in this thread, let me know and I'll do what I can to fix it.

Have fun!

"You get problems connectin with people, huh? Haha! I can see where that is comin from. Ya know, kidnappin peoples dogs aint really somethin a lotta people like! But I can give ya a bit of my advice.... and that is.... Fuck em! If others cant accept you for who ya are, why bother with em, you know? But I suppose if you really, really want to connect with these people, then I would say the best thing to do in that case is to put yourself out there. And NOT in the way where you send their dogs to the shadow realm. Thats gotta stop. Friendships take time, so dont force it, firstfully. Ask someone out for coffee! Come to poetry night or some stupid shit like that. People like poetry, I think!"

"W-well... the only thing I know about piloting a ship is from tv, b-but it's like working in a group with anything else right? So you have to be firm with your word whenever you need to keep order, but you must also respect your crew, and they'll repay your kindness with loyalty!"


"D-does anyone have any advice for how to deal with a friend who just... Doesn't care anymore? We've been friends all our lives, but after he went to earth he started acting so differently. He only cares about himself and says that he's better off without me now that he's been gone so long.. I still want to be his friend but..."

Chanse Milkman

"Well? I guess you just have to confront him about it - you gotta let out your feelings and tell him how you feel! If things don't happen the way it should be, then try to work things though. I'm not saying start over, no. You can't start over a friendship, honestly. It's pretty difficult. You haven't seen him a long while, so therefore learn the new things about him. All you have to do is prove that you want to be friends with him - show him that you care very much about him. He wouldn't leave you out in the dust like that!

.... But if things fail, then it's his loss. Coming from your worries, I expect that you're a fantastic friend to him. It's not your fault, but sometimes you can't get everything you want in life. There's definitely better people to meet and to be friends with."

"So... I had a history. I was supposed to marry someone, but sudden plans had changed and my whole life pretty much went to pieces. But I honestly thought that my life would start over again with her... 
What do you do if you fall in love with someone but she is in love with someone else? Being specific, that one girl you liked but she's head over heels in love with your best friend, and of course he loves her back. I can't really help but feel sad, but I definitely don't want to ruin their relationship together when everyone things (even I) that they were meant to be. You think that I'll find someone if I wait long enough? I'm really tired of waiting..."

Aputa Wrong-Q-Etude

“Well... now this is coming from someone who hasn’t ever been in a relationship before so... take this with a grain of salt...? Anyways, don’t wait. If she doesn’t love you, you can’t exactly make her!” Aputa started as her magic crackled and popped. She tapped her chin a few times as if in thought before speaking once more, “I suggest going out and meeting some new people. Date around do some weird human mating ritual. I’m sure you meat-sacks have plenty of them. I’m sure that losing someone you love is going to be hard, but the faster you dig yourself out of that hole the faster you can get to do it again. It’s a vicious cycle, but then one day that cycle stop and the person will love you back! Hey, at least the worst is that you won’t be loved back in the way you love her. She’s still in your life and if she’s happy then go find your own happiness. We all need a little bit of that”


“Well... erm...” Aputa stuttered as she tapped her chin a galaxy blush dusting her face as she thought how to word her sentence. “I’m having girl issues. With most of my friends being men, the only girl I know acts like a guy and going to her wouldn’t bode well, and no parent to talk to I’ve resorted to this embarrassing question. I want a guy to notice me, but I don’t know how.... any advice, suggestions?”



ASTROBOT hedgemaze

A 20-foot-tall blue robot comes bursting through the wall, debris flying everywhere. The robot is laden with a dozen pink shopping bags.

"ASTROBOT UNDERSTANDING WANTING TO BE NOTICE!!!!!!!           ASTROBOT KNOWING JUST THE THING 2 GET BOY 2 NOTICE CLOUD GIRL.           TRUST ASTROBOT, EXPERT IN THESE THINGS!!!!!!           "


The robot is pulling random articles of clothing out of the bags and throwing them at Aputa's face.

"MAKEOVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!           "



"ASTROBOT HAS PROBLEM.       ASTROBOT CO-WORKER GETS MORE AIRTIME ON SPORTS NEWS CHANNEL THAN ASTROBOT, AND ASTROBOT THINK THIS GREATLY OFFENSE BECAUSE WHO CARES WHAT CO-WORKER HAS 2SAY WHEN THE PEOPLE CAN BE LISTEN TO GLORIOUS WORDS OF ASTROBOT.       BUT CO-WORKER IS GOST AND ASTROBOT CANNOT LASER GOST IF ALREADY DEAD.       HOW SHOULD ASTROBOT GET ASTROBOT'S WORDS TO MORE PEOPLE???????????       THX IN ADVANCE ADVICE FLESHBAG       "

Rhyme Tezuka YunaNoire

For a moment, Rhyme can't help but be amazed at the sight of ASTROBOT, their eyes twinkling as they also let out a gentle gasp. "Woaaaah... so cool..." After staring for a good moment or so, they shake their head briskly, snapping themselves back into reality. 

Stop staring Rhyme! The big guy is asking for your help!

After pondering for a moment, they raise a hand up into the air, grinning proudly to the larger bot. "Oh! I know! You could always try to work together with your coworker Mr. ASTROBOT!" They nod before lowering their hand, obviously unaware that considering their current company, that was definitely easier said than done. "I mean, if you collaborate then maybe they can learn something from you and you can learn something from them! This way, sports fans across the city will have everything they need!"

Bowing themselves, they then raise a salute to ASTROBOT.

"Hopefully that helped, Mr. ASTROBOT!"


"Speaking of working together though..." Rhyme rubs at the back of their head, frowning a little. "You see... I have a brother and sister. I love both of 'em very very much! They're my family! But..." They let out a sigh, looking a little exhausted. "It seems like nowadays they're constantly bickering... about political stuff too. One of them thinks that robots should stick to being treated as secondary, since we were created by humans, but the other thinks that robots are better than humans! I can kind of see both sides of the argument and I have my own opinion but..." They shake their head anxiously. "I just want them to stop fighting! They don't have to agree on anything! I just want them to be happy together again! I don't know how to make them stop though... every time I try to get them together they just end up bickering again."

 Matthew Ullman (pending) Storm_Clouds

"Look, I've found that there is a lot of ways to get people to stop fighting over stuff. Mostly, you make them peacefully settle out their argument by seen out their veiws, and then they can possibly come to a conclusion if they want to agree, disagree, or just leave the argument alone. I mean, there are other ways to do it, but that's just what I'm saying about this. Remember, "you can't give a man a peanut and expect a farm the next day.""

"Soo, um. I've been wanting to get an actual job, and not just be on the run taking odd jobs. But every job prospect has been denying me because of my looks!" Matthew explained nervously. "Do you know of any jobs which could support someone like me? I don't need much, just a steady job I could do."

Dr. Nicolai Ivanovich Kozlov RaikaiRan

Nicolai sat down next to the boy, who had asked him something. At first he hesitated with his answer. He knew how the boy felt. He struggled to say something. "I know it's hard to find a job in our society with your looks, where augmented people are hated. Where I come from, cyborgs like me are being locked in their freedom. I can only advise you to believe in yourself. You're worth the same as all the others on this planet. You can do the job as well as everyone else. The next time you have a job interview ask if you can trial work. " 

Nicolai smiled at the boy. He put his cybernetic hand on his shoulder. "Be strong, every job you do with your heart is right for you." He put his other hand on the spot on his chest where his heart beat.
"I'm sure there'll be something in the technical field for you. Many will envy you for your skills, but they will never admit it." And if you really should get stuck finding a good job...", Nicolai interrupted himself and handed the boy a card with his contact details. "You can call me and I will see what I can do for you little boy. "


Nicolai looked away. He didn't want to look the person in the eye. "I would never ask that question if I hadn't already found an answer myself," he grumbled. "I'm in love with a woman, but she's not human, she's an android. You can't love a machine. I don't know what to do. I don't want to hurt her feelings, if you can call it feelings she has. What should I do? Allow my feelings, see where it leads me or lock them up? "

Jet Static South-Sinner

"Before you start worrying about how weird you think that might be consider this...... somebody married their car" Jet chuckles "I'm pretty sure your android lady has a lot more to offer you than a car. I mean she's more or less sentient for one thing! If you want my opinion I'd say stop thinking with your head and ask your heart what it wants.  So she's an android! big deal! The only thing missing is a pulse."

"My problem relates to romance too. See I have this friend who's totally on my level, It's like we're two halves of the same person! I think of a song she's thought of the same one... I want pizza she's already knows what topping to order. Problem is though is that I'm torn whether or not I should tell her how I feel about her and risk our friendship becoming awkward? What do you think?"

Star Bow Storm_Clouds

"Well, I'm definitely not the type to give love advice to anyone, especially since I've never been in love! But I'll try! Hmm, so you're torn, huh. I think it's best to be totally honey to them about your feelings. That's what friends are about, right? But, don't do it at the wrong time or blurt it out! You gotta make sure the timing is right to tell them. Maybe when you are alone with them is the best time? That's my advice, anyways!"

"So, a sheep friend from my old flock just said that he's going to Venice for a little, and he wants me to come along too. But, I'm in England, and from here to Venice is a pretty far way for just one sheep! So, got any advice for how to get to Venice and still be in one peice?"

Soliel jetsetspy

"Thanks for asking! You've just gotta travel in style, friend! And today I've got some great news for you because you've just won yourself an all expenses paid 2 week vacation to Venice,  my gift to you!"

"How can I just stop people from thinking I always want to talk to them whenever they want, especially when I don't know them!? Ugh, Seriously, people just don't understand just how tiring work is sometimes and that I don't feel like dealing with them off camera. I've got better things to do!"

Lan Turner PicklePantry

"Your life revolves around the masks you choose to wear. Don one that will keep them away. But when the voices and the smiles leave you alone with silence, will you be able to take off your mask by then?"


"It seems my followers have gotten stronger and more ravenous over the years. I have tried to create many heroes just as I have tried to contain this new darkness, but I don't believe I can hold it off for long. Perhaps I should leave the souls and rest so I may regain the strength to restrain this problem?"
