The "Ask Characters Questions" Meme!

[prettycoolguy]

Okay guys, this is pretty simple but should be fun, and give us all something to do as we wait for things to happen as plot to progresses.

Post your character, and people can ask them things ICly or OOCly, as themselves or as their characters.

For example, "Hey Chief, what do you think of [x]?" or "Hey Zita, what does Chief think of [x]?"

Characters do not strictly have to answer honestly, but it's more fun (and more funny) if you make them!

Other than that, go nuts and have fun!

And lack of politeness is...?

Honesty.

What's honest about being rude?

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

Honesty is merely interpreted as rudeness quite often. If anything is said that doesn't coddle the feelings and egos of who it's being spoken to, it's considered rude, even if it's the truth.

I consider it rude when you telling people to leave when they just asked a simple question without something like please.

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

You consider it rude because you've been conditioned to. Or at least Daniel was, and such conditioning was transferred along with the rest of his knowledge. It's not implicitly rude--rudeness is a factor determined entirely by interpretation.

In my own culture, language is kept moderately more polite than the way I speak, but meaningless platitudes such as 'please' and 'thank you' are uncommon.

...I didn't get Danny's knowledge. I got his personality. Vlad only gave me enough 'knowledge' to pass for something normal for a kid. Everything else I had to look up.

I just think it's rude when people are all cold and grumpy for no reason. Please makes it seem less so. If you didn't sound grumpy and cold, then please wouldn't be so important.

And that's not from Danny. I understood that as a bad thing from dad.

Then you understand it as a negative thing because you associate it with your villainous creator.

That doesn't mean I hold any ill will for anyone, and typically I trust that people will eventually understand that fact.

That's why he was like that. He was evil.

I don't think you're evil.

So I just think you're grumpy when people ask you stuff while you're working and be rude because of it.
