ahogelogs | The IC Critque Meme!

Have you ever wanted to tell your fellow COST recruits what you think of them without consequence? Does their cavalier attitude toward murder, or lack of any critical thinking skills, or naive optimism cause frustration? Or is it something even more minor that really irks you, like that your roommate keeps borrowing your clothes or your friend won't use punctuation when they type?

WELL THEN--

THE LOWDOWN
• Post a header with your character's name.
• Comment in-character to other people's headers. With what? Depends on your CR! Maybe they're a good person and really should keep on keeping on, maybe literally everyone can see they need to suck it up and confess already, maybe they'll change their wicked ways if just one extra person casts aspersions on their pompadour. Bring in examples if you want, as with any helpful critique. Be as creative as you like!
• Other characters will comment to yours, no doubt overflowing with well-meaning advice on how to be the best person they can be. Your character is free to respond. Excuse you, maybe despair is still in fashion??
• Feel free to assume there's a compulsion to speak their minds if your character's not usually the type to give unsolicited advice.
• A probably unnecessary reminder, but just remember, this is not a place for OOC crit! There are other, more appropriate channels for that.

William!

[shrug]

Can't deserve too much yelling when he's right.

Sorry. He's your friend.

[ But also: sorry he's your friend. ]

Yes. He is.

I'm sure he'd help you too if it came down to it.

He's helped you?

He's been kind. He walked with me when I first got here. Then he taught me a game.

Then I'm glad there's another side to him.

What was the game?

You'll see it.

[ She's contemplating discretion now. It doesn't seem to be William's type of game. ]

It's silly. Just a way to pass time. Do you have a favorite game?

As long as you get to, that's enough for me.

Are you changing the subject on me? [ He's taken aback, more than anything. Cautiously amused. ] I don't know if I can pick. Did you ever play cat's cradle?

No.

[ It's a quick response. Moving the conversation along comes just as quickly. ]

With strings? I've never played, but I have seen people making those wonderful patterns.

[ A thought crosses her mind. ]

Can you teach me?
