The IC Critque Meme!

[inconstantly]

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.

It's not just some way! It's every way!

[ So, yes. She's contradicting the hell out of herself. ]

Living up to someone means you want to be like them. I merely want to crush him and force him to acknowledge me. There's a difference.

[northerndragon]

Not good to crush your father, especially if he's someone you want to surpass -- if he's that good, I mean.

What if he acknowledged you without all that? I always wanted to make my father proud. He raised me with his trueborn children: he didn't have to. He could have left me to be a servant.

[bloodings]

He wouldn't. I stole his throne, violated his lands, slew his armies. And yet he never once looked at me with either love or hatred.

It's natural for you to not understand. That's why this is my grudge alone.

[northerndragon]

Wouldn't it have been better to get his armies to follow you?

You're right, I don't understand. It hasn't ever sounded as if your father was cruel, or a bad king. You should have fought beside him, not against him.

[bloodings]

I did, once. Even so, he would not acknowledge me as either child or heir. That was the impetus for my rebellion.

I warn you: do not think to criticize my choices. It would mean your death.

[northerndragon]

A good king can take criticism, or so I'm told.

That goes for him and for you.

[Also, Mordred, you're shorter than either of his sisters.]

Don't you have any advisors?

[bloodings]

Not if there's nothing to criticize. Then, any complaints are unworthy of his time.

[ My Dad Was Perfect, etc etc etc. ]

I don't need advisors, and it's unlikely anyone would wish to involve themselves with me. I'm fine with that.
