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]

Just watching...?

[ribblerouser]

I'm very good at just watching. It was my teachers' least-favourite skill of mine back in school.

[starspangledman]

What do you look for? When you watch.

[ribblerouser]

Everything. The movement of muscles under skin, the flick of your eyes and flutter of your lashes...

[starspangledman]

[going. redder.]

You've got an eye for detail, huh?

[ribblerouser]

All the time.

[starspangledman]

[smiles a little]

Guess that can come in handy sometimes.

[ribblerouser]

It has. It's also been a big nuisance. Try super hearing and dog whistles sometime. [grinning though]

I do like what I see.

[starspangledman]

[he's not going to stop blushing, Mikk]

Well, I can't complain about the view I've got either.

[ribblerouser]

[grins]

Well, if an artist says it.

[starspangledman]

Does that mean something more?

[ribblerouser]

I'll trust your keen eyes of observation? I mean, listen, I'm a constructed figure, but I know you know me.

[starspangledman]

[ducks his head, a little shy]

I'd like to think I do, yeah.

[ribblerouser]

So I don't think you see just... [shrugs, gestures]

[starspangledman]

[fidgets with his pencils a moment, before starting to put them away]

I want to see you for who you are.

[ribblerouser]

Well. I'd like that.

[starspangledman]

[a nod]

I'll do what I can.

[ribblerouser]

You always do, sweetheart. [shuffles in next to him, bumping hips]

[starspangledman]

[leans back against him]

Thanks, Mikk.

[ribblerouser]

I want to see more of you too.

[starspangledman]

Well, I'm right here.

[ribblerouser]

You feel nice. You move like you're conscious of your body at all times but you don't mind just casually leaning like this.

[starspangledman]

[blush. again]

Well I—didn't always have a body like this, so I guess I'm still a little more aware of it.

[ribblerouser]

I saw you small. You were pretty cute.

[starspangledman]

Thanks. Not a lot of folks thought that about me.
