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]

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.

[thismightaswellhappen]

You're not obligated to make friends with him, you know.

[starspangledman]

I know I don't have to, but I'd at least like to be able to see what everyone else sees in him.

[thismightaswellhappen]

Otherwise you'll just keep wondering?

[starspangledman]

... Otherwise I don't know how to handle it.

[thismightaswellhappen]

[mutters sort of wryly]

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object...

[starspangledman]

I've heard something like that before.

[thismightaswellhappen]

It might be a little bit apt.

[starspangledman]

I guess so.

[thismightaswellhappen]

Okay, it's probably not that bad.

[starspangledman]

No it's that bad.

He brought an alien army to invade Manhattan once and now he's...involved with my fiance.

[thismightaswellhappen]

Did you die inside slightly when you had to say that sentence out loud?

[starspangledman]

I'm not exactly comfortable with it.
