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!

"First step, take the minimum wage, then tack a zero on the end. Let's say that's 100 gold an hour. Charge that much. When he complains, tell him that you're either giving him a discount, or that other people charge twice as much, and you're giving him a very good deal. Works like a charm. If you're in a business that has the market cornered, charge as much as your customers are willing to pay."

"Now I can't stand 'people' just loitering or staring at me, and I need to know the best way to get them to go away. Apparently blasting them off a bridge is 'too harsh' and I've been fined for it before. What is the alternative?"

"Bahaha, with a look like that, dollface? I'unno about that. If I was you I'd just stay cooped up in your dusty little store forever. Though... I don't see why a bitta' violence would hurt. If you REALLY wanna get people to stop staring, gouge their fuckin' eyes out! Yah!"


"Anybody know how to improve self-esteem or whatever? 'Cause when you're stuck living in some shitty cyberspace your whole life, there's not a great amount to like about yourself. Gah.."

Emecene celestiials

"Hmm, maybe try to focus on what things you're good at or whatever your strengths are? Maybe try writing down any insecurities you have and then try to disprove them, it could probably help as well. Try to see if there's anything you can chnage, and if so, try to change it? I'm not exactly an expert at this, so I'm sorry..."

(heck sorry that i couldn't come up with more x_x i might edit this later to add more idk)


"This is kind of awkward for me... I swear anyone who tries to make fun of me for this is gonna get hurt really badly... But anyways, I kind of have romantic feelings towards my best friend, but I'm really scared about what he'll think about me..."

"Oh, the good ole "Am I an adult now?" talk," mumbled the teacher as he rubbed the back of his neck, the other on his hip. "How old is he, fourteen? Kid, he's not ready. Hell, I'm not sure what kind of ready you're thinking, but I can guarantee he's not ready for anything. Especially if he's still hiding behind your friend. You're not so ready yourself, you know. A lot of this kind of stuff, it's something I don't think anyone will ever be fully ready for. Lots of this is something you can't get involved with. People learn their own way. If you keep babying him then he's going to stay a baby, because by the time he's your age he'll be fully dependent on you. He's a teen. Let him stand on his own for once. If he falls down then pick him up and let him try again."


"Tch, look at me giving social advice, and here I am needing some," Terry grumbled while hiding his blush with his splayed hand. "I... Okay listen, I've never been interested in relationships until just recently. The guy I'm with, uh... Well he's handsome. And strong. It's only natural that he attracts people, right? There's a skimpy guy that hangs around him a lot and though they both promise there's nothing going on, I can't shake off this stupid feeling. I trust him, but I don't know... I feel like I can't compete. What do you think?"

Avir almost flinched at the pronouciation and vulgarity of the person in front of him, but he managed to keep a poker face nonetheless. "I find that anything past 1 third of the cup gets too watery to enjoy, but 1 quarter is pushing it." He replied.


"Uh, well. I've decided that now should be the time that I finally come out of exile and go rejoin the other angels. But... I'm still nervous about showing what I've degraded to over the years that I've been gone. Is there someone or some way that I could become confident enough in myself to finally do it?"

Zaleos looked incredibly sympathetic. “You came to the right person, heh, I know plenty just like you. Don’t worry too much about it, everybody changes over time, even angels. Just look how cute I became after coming down here. Go back out there and reconnect with your family, anybody who doesn’t accept you isn’t worth your time anyway. 

You’ll never know what other people are thinking but all that matters is that you are confident enough to step back into the spotlight. How do I say this... it’s all about your own mindset.”

“If it still doesn’t work out, I’ll come with you!”

“My friend told me a long time ago that finding someone who understands you the most in this world is the greatest thing that’s offered in the mortal world. The thing is, I feel like all the women here are the same. Plus, I don’t think ladies should get themselves dirty with a murderer and an angel like me. But I don’t know what else I can do now that I’m not a knight anymore. What should I do? Or, you know, what’s the best way to find this gift my friend keeps talking about?”

"If it's cheap then chances are it's not healthy. Instant noodles are the worst, too. Ever count the sodium in that? Look pork chops aren't that hard to cook and most of the time they're about five bucks for like two of them. Put some seasoning on them and put them in the oven for a little bit. Here, I'll write the recipe for you."


"I've always wanted to meet my old man. Don't get me wrong, I don't care about the sh-tbag, I want to meet him so I can punch him in the gut. Dirt bag had the gall to leave me and my mom when I was born. The thing is... I don't know, I'm nervous? Is this the right thing to do? Should I just... not meet him?"

"Dude, my dad left us too but you really gotta consider that there are more important things in life, y'know? Your dad's a dick, but you're still livin', right? Don't let it get to you and try your best to move on. Stayin' angry about it won't help you wit' nothin', like... people leave all the time whether they should or not and there isn't a whole lot you can do about it, but kickin' his ass sure won't help, and I'm sure your mom wouldn't want you to get hurt from that of all things either. Think about how she'd feel too."

"Hey, so what's the best way to get a wine stain out a white couch? My girl's pissed at me for accidentally spillin' her drink and she doesn't like my solution of 'dry it and flip the cushion over.' She's really tryin' to make me buy a whole new couch over this. Is that really necessary?"

"Oh, it depends on the type of couch. You know, like, bleach? For clothes? Maybe that would work on anything but leather. Or velvet! If it's a leather or velvet couch -- though I guess that's probably unlikely -- I wish you the best of luck. I don't think you should buy another couch like that, though."



"I'm in need of some serious help: I've been to the store about five times this month, and every time I'm there I can never find the bird seed, and I really want some birds to come by this spring. so does anyone know any fun alternatives other than going to another shop?"
