[ 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 ]

Comments

[rathercommon]

Oh! That's a thought. I'd be interested in hearing that.

[ She cocks her head to the side. Teasingly: ]

Though you know that your fans might be interested in other sorts of questions.

[dendarii]

[ Miles can't help the cock-eyed smirk that settles on his face at that. ]

Oh? I can't imagine what.

[rathercommon]

[ Never underestimate her bluntness: ]

About your sex life.

[dendarii]

[ Even expecting that, he chokes a bit. ]

In public? Really, Kitty.

[rathercommon]

[ A cheerful little flip of her wings. ]

In public? Have you had a sex life in public? That's adventurous of you.

[dendarii]

Not what I meant. I'm more respectful than that. Sometimes.

[rathercommon]

Ooh, sometimes?

[dendarii]

Depends on what he wants.

[rathercommon]

He?

[dendarii]

[ He blinks at that. Given her line of questioning, he'd assumed Gregor had told her ... ]

Perhaps we ought to discuss in private first.

[rathercommon]

Er - what is there to be discussed in private?

private

[dendarii]

Just give me a moment, please.

[ He says, switching over his phone's settings. There. ]

Gregor hasn't said anything to you yet?

private

[rathercommon]

[ To torment him, or not to-- hahahaha who's she even kidding, of course she will ]

About what?

[dendarii]

About - well -

[ He has to take a deep breath, suddenly flustered. ]

Gregor made his feelings quite clear to me last weekend.

[rathercommon]

[ Unflappably: ]

And?

[dendarii]

They're very good feelings. Which we promptly acted upon, and intend to continue doing so. At length.

-- Which I assume he must have discussed with you at some point.

[rathercommon]

[ Calmly: ]

Are you saying you're sleeping with the man I'm sleeping with?

[dendarii]

... Yes. Yes, I am. [ A beat. ] Which - you should not take as indication to stop sleeping with him. On the contrary.

[rathercommon]

On the contrary, meaning I should now sleep with him more...?

[dendarii]

[ Wow. He wasn't ready for that little spike of jealousy there. ]

The same amount, please. I would also like to have some time with him as well ..

[rathercommon]

The same amount. Oh, all right. I'll have to consult my log, see how often it was happening before to make sure that it's neither more nor less frequent.

[dendarii]

You know what I mean, Kitty.

[rathercommon]

Hm, I don't know.

[ That's wryly, cruelly teasing. But then her voice drops back into a more serious register when she asks, blunt as ever: ]

Do you see me as competition for his time, then?

[dendarii]

[ Miles looks away. Quite frankly, he's still not sure how he feels about the arrangement. Not all of the thoughts rolling around in his head are positive - though he's at least accepted the idea as workable. ]

Only in the sense that we can't both sleep with him at the same time. He made it very clear that we are not competing with each other for his affections or - something awful like that.

[rathercommon]

Hm.

[ She cocks her head, studying the video feed. ]

So why do you look like you're sucking on a lemon?
