WHAT 10/10 would post again
WHERE Everywhere
WHEN Day 144

[Today there are little bubbles popping up whenever you're near someone. They seem like . . . testimonials or reviews? Like "X is a great person, excellent listener. Only four and a half stars because they sing too loudly in the shower." If you've only just met, it's just your first impression. Or maybe you can check out the bubbles that are now attached to that person, so you can decide if you're interested.]

[whenever you jump someone in the post, include your character's, uh, honest mental review of them, at the top of the comment. also free to assume you can see other peoples' unless otherwise stated]

[aw. he smiles]

Sure. I'd be happy to.

[thismightaswellhappen]

Would it be weird if I gave it to Bucky?

[starspangledman]

I don't think it'd be weird at all.

[thismightaswellhappen]

Do you think she'll like it?

[starspangledman]

Yeah, I think so.

She always seems to like the stuff I do. And she'd probably like it even more knowing it's from you.

[thismightaswellhappen]

So what are your rates?

[starspangledman]

For that...twenty? Does that sound fair?

[thismightaswellhappen]

It sounds like you're lowballing yourself.

[starspangledman]

I don't do too much for pay. Usually I just sell what I've got done.

Thirty?

[thismightaswellhappen]

Sure, if that works for you.

Should I take off, let you concentrate?

[starspangledman]

Did you want me to start now?

[thismightaswellhappen]

Oh, no—I meant on what you were already doing.

[starspangledman]

Oh, it's all right. I was just passing the time.

[thismightaswellhappen]

Okay.

So how have you been, lately?

[starspangledman]

[pauses a moment]

I've been better, but it's all right.

[thismightaswellhappen]

...can I ask if this is related to Loki making me get drunk with him the other day?

[starspangledman]

Yeah, it's related to that.

[thismightaswellhappen]

Mm. Good luck.

[starspangledman]

Thank you. I have...some ideas. But I guess we'll have to see.

[thismightaswellhappen]

I don't think he's having a great time lately in general. So I'm sure that's not making it easier.

[starspangledman]

[hesitates]

I probably shouldn't ask.

[thismightaswellhappen]

You probably shouldn't.

I can tell you from my own experience, though, it is incredibly jarring when you've settled into a decades-long groove and suddenly everything changes.

[starspangledman]

Yeah. I can only imagine.

[thismightaswellhappen]

I'm sorry it's been such a struggle, though.

[starspangledman]

[shakes his head]

It's all right. I'm trying to work through it.
