[ 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 ]

No. Pick a cause nobody else would want and run with it.

[ Because it's a strange way to fill a boring day, if he's honest. ]

[rathercommon]

Oh.

[ Her whiskers flick. Her voice is wry. ]

Yeah. Obviously. That's what my whole life has been, hasn't it?

[aberth]

[ He should be more like Kitty, he thinks. He should look out for the people who can't. But no, his main worry has always been himself. ]

Well. I'd offer to help, but nobody's going to be interested in that.

[rathercommon]

What are you talking about? People adore you.

[aberth]

Ha.

[ He says it like a word and not a laugh, a ha! People adoring him. ] You mean Gansey?

[rathercommon]

I mean fans. [ Heh - ] Fansey, if you will.

[aberth]

That was fucking terrible.

[ Kitty, Kitty, please. ]

[rathercommon]

It was brilliant. You're laughing on the inside.

[aberth]

My insides agree that was terrible.

[ A pause. ]

But if I can help with the leaf scaled sea snake, let me know.

[rathercommon]

Actually, you can. You could help by answering these questions, for a start.

[aberth]

[ Gosh. ]

Okay, sure. If you get a question you can let me know.

[ He doubts it'll happen though. ]

[rathercommon]

[ A little laugh: ]

I've already got like three requests for you, Adam. Don't underestimate the love of the rumblistas.

[aberth]

I have no idea what that is.

[ A rumblista. It sounds like an infection. ]

But okay. Ask away. [ Why does he sound like he's about to face a firing squad? Adam Parrish everyone. ]

[rathercommon]

All right. Here's number one. What's your dream car? - Your fans tend to also really like cars a lot, it seems.

[aberth]

Uh.

[ Dream car. He hasn't really thought about it other than wanting something fast and shiny. ] The Audi Quattro? Or maybe a Porsche.

[rathercommon]

Huh. I've never heard of those.

[ To be fair, she's heard of, like, one type of car. And it's a Hummer, because she signed a petition to ban it because the environment. ]

What's special against them?

[aberth]

[ He wouldn't get a Hummer, Kitty, it's okay. He's too country for that shit. ]

They're supercars? Like, high performance sports cars? Sleek, European, fast. [ God, he sounds like he's talking about a religious experience, genuine excitement creeping into his voice. ] If we're talking dream cars then it'd be a Lamborghini. But the Porsche Boxster Spyder is really pretty too. It's a soft top.
