[ On the screen is a magnificent tiger with golden eyes, regarding the camera with quite a bit of what looks to be amusement, if you're prone to anthropomorphizing animals. After a moment, that tiger speaks - and speaks with a very human voice, a light and girlish voice with a South London accent. And who else speaks like that? This is, of course, one Kitty Jones, living up to her name. ]

Hullo, all. Happy - slightly belated - Earth Day. I hadn't known about that holiday last year, so I didn't do a thing for it, but it's really a lovely thing, isn't it? So, a day, late, I'm doing a little charity drive, and I need all of you to participate. Proceeds going to the protection of the leaf-scaled sea snake, because no one ever bloody donates money to help species that aren't cute.

[ The leaf-scaled sea snake is also quite venomous. Y'know. Whatever. ]

So what this consists of is this. I want you to volunteer here, in this post, to answer questions from fans on rumblr. Give me a list of topics you're not willing to talk about, as well as how many questions you're willing to answer. Then your rumblr fans - or enemies, I suppose, maybe some of them will want to trap you in a lie or something - will bid on the opportunity to ask you questions. Whichever fan puts in the highest bid gets the right to ask the first question, then the second-highest bid gets second question, all down until you don't want to answer any more stupid questions. And then all the proceeds go to the sea snakes.

So who's in? Talk about yourself, help the environment. What's not to like?

[ That's all said very, very cheerfully. Then, in a flippant post-script, she adds: ]

Oh, yeah, I'm not dead, by the way.

[ Which is so nice! so kind! such a good way to announce that! a month and a half after she already came back from the dead! nice. ]


[ ooc: this post is just like what it says! You can comment here to have your character get asked dumb questions by rumblr fans. Please tell me the questions you want asked in notes in your comments!! Or I will be making up terrible questions. Fair warning.

edited to add: also if your character would bid to ask other characters shitty questions, feel free to threadjump their thread ]

[He has clearly been here awhile if all he does is stare for a moment at the talking tiger. It's just another impossible thing that clearly exists in front of him (though the possibility of it being some kind of animatronic or something is still high enough that he'd rather lean towards that possibility).

Never mind that he, too, has some feline traits that are slowly expanding the longer he stays here. But his train of thought digresses, and that's hardly the point of the post.]

Well, least yer not dead? [The curiosity in his voice holds a question, but he continues without actually asking it.]

Can't imagine many people'd want to ask me anythin', but if it helps I got an hour to kill?

[rathercommon]

That sounds lovely.

[ Her voice is cheerful - and she very much does not address that unspoken question. ]

What's your name? I don't know that we've ever spoken before.

[This will just be normal then. He can roll with it. ;;]

Aa, Hattori Heiji. Been here for awhile but I guess there're more an' more of us here all th' time.

[rathercommon]

Oh! How long? Now I feel embarrassed.

[kendo_taisho]

Nah, ya don't have to! Not counting th' couple months I've been gone, I first arrived a year ago April.

[rathercommon]

Now I feel really embarrassed. And don't talk me out of it! Anyway, it's nice to meet you.

[kendo_taisho]

Nice t'meet ya too, though I feel I'd've noticed ya before [Who misses a tiger?!] so it's just as much my fault. [Sheepish grin.]
