[ 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 ]

Well, it's not about knowing, is it. What do you feel like? What do you think? Were you being all right?

[oceanthief]

[she shrugs again.]

I don't really feel anything about it. I was just stating facts.

[rathercommon]

So you haven't got any opinion at all? If someone tells you you're wrong, you accept it, and if they tell you you're right, you accept it?

[oceanthief]

Why does it matter what anyone else thinks? I know what I believe in.

[rathercommon]

[ ...Huh. ]

Good point. That's...a really good attitude to have.

[oceanthief]

[sometimes she's actually got kind of healthy opinions on things. it's a little terrifying.]

Well...yeah. If other people can change your mind that quickly, it wasn't something you really cared about.

[rathercommon]

Hm. Well - not necessarily. I mean, sometimes people just are easily convinced, even if they do care deeply.

[oceanthief]

Those aren't people you can rely on.

[rathercommon]

Well, but on the other hand, people who stick to their own point of view and don't adapt to others' can be a bit dangerous, too.

[oceanthief]

Not really. You can work around them pretty easily.

[even if they were stronger than you, they were predictable. it was partially what had allowed her to defeat Jasper, after all.]

[rathercommon]

Well, but it's often not about working around them. They're often people you've got to work with.

[oceanthief]

You just need to achieve your goal. If they're that stubborn, they're not going to contribute anyway.
