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]

[RK900 is by the lake today. He's looking down at a fish that got itself beached somehow, flopping on the dry shore.]

[Eventually, he crouches down next to it, gently cups both hands under it, and places it back in the water.]

[Steve has found a quiet corner of the park to set up his watercolor supplies, so intent on his work that he doesn't seem to notice the bubbles. Yet]

[it's almost noon and Lassie is just waking up with a killer hangover, groaning at the knocking on his door]

Detective Lassiter.

[KNOCK KNOCK.]

Detective. I've come to make sure you didn't go into an ethylic coma overnight.

Jesus Christ, so much for putting yourself in storage...

[just muttering, still in bed, not getting up to open the door]

[Tries doorknob?]

[Oh, it's not locked. Coming right in, then.]

Detective, are you alright?

...

Yeah, I guess it doesn't count as breaking and entering if there are no laws and you don't lock the door.

... [Scanning.]

You appear to be holding up. Just dehydrated and hungover.

[grumbling, hair sticking up]

What, don't need to shove your tongue down my throat to double check?

[as he approaches, the bubble above Shawn's head suddenly blinks, "Hot robot fish rescuer?! +27 charm points!!"]

Swim free, little fish! Watch out for Nessie's cousin Quimsy!

[Looks around the room.]

Did you drink more after I left?

[he didn't, he just slept like a good boy but]

Wouldn't you like to know.

[Scully's out walking the dog and hasn't run across any bubbles yet, but as she pauses to peek at what Steve is doing, not saying anything so as not to break his concentration, one pops up above her head that says, "8/10, lost points only due to circumstantial drama. Strong ideals and sympathetic listener with great arms, doesn't even lose any points for dating my (hopefully) girlfriend."]

Hello, again.

[Glances up at the bubble, then looks at the guy approaching. Scans him with a look.]

["Unknown human" is all the bubble near him says.]

Hello. You live with Detective Lassiter, I presume.

Hello, Shuri.

[Shakes water off of his hands and stands up.]

Part time. Most of the time. You know Lassie?

I brought him home last night. He was drinking heavily.

...Detective, if you need anything, I told you you could ask. I can do anything or be anyone you want.

[grimaces...]

Goddamnit. Um, thank... you? Yes. Thank you. How's he doing?

He didn't go into a coma. He should be fine.

It's good to see you up and about again. How are you feeling?

Better. You saw me when I was in rest mode?

Were you the one helping Lieutenant Anderson?

[sometimes a princess has to make her own coffee run! so Shuri's heading to Heavenly Grounds. although, honestly, she's equally chipper whether you run into her before or after she has her coffee.]

Really.

Can you be a 5'9" blond Japanese man with an uncanny knack for solving other people's problems? Because that's who I want right now.
