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!

I thought she was...engaging in flirtatious behavior with me as a ruse of sorts. For her own entertainment. When I said as such, she was hugely offended and sarcastically implied that it was true--which I interpreted as her admitting to it, and...

Now she's rather incensed with me.

*just..... STARES*

...and you did apologise, didn't you?

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

...Not as such?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

...why not?!

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

It's highly unlikely that an apology is going to sway her into forgiving me. She's rather angry.

I made a mistake in interpretation, it blew up in my face, and she's already made her presumptions about my character and decided her feelings. It's happened often enough.

In such situations, it's simply best to move on.

You didn't think it was likely to work, so you didn't try?

....There's no way I can say this without it seeming insulting. So I think I'll borrow Lightning Lad's wording: Are you an idiot?

Regardless of the likelihood of success, just making the attempt in the first place is often seen as being enough. You're right that it's highly likely that there's little you could say to actually get her to forgive you, but not making the attempt and then ignoring the problem in the hopes it will somehow go away isn't going to work either.

As difficult as it is, I've learned that you often have to be prepared to admit that you're... wrong. And can make mistakes. Especially if you value the opinion of the person in question.

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

It's pointless. And her opinion of me is irrelevant. She's already found someone else to devote her attentions to, and she's made it quite clear she would rather avoid my presences, so I intend to acquiesce to her wishes.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

I can't make you do anything you don't want to but... sometimes an apology helps more than you realise. For remaining friends if nothing else.

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

She would prefer not to be...bothered. The most considerate thing I can do is simply...comply.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Considerate? Or easier for you?

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

[gapes a bit, trying to figure out what to say]

It's...irrelevant. She won't forgive me.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

If you've already made up your mind there, then there's nothing more I can say, is there?

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

No.

Congratulations. You may actually be worse wit' women 'an I am. An' I'm pretty f'in' awful.

Re: *butts in*

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

Why is everyone so concerned with how I deal with the opposite sex?

Re: *butts in*

[psi-flames.livejournal.com]

Concerned? Not really. Impressed? Definitely.

Re: *butts in*

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

Impressed? What precisely does that mean?

Re: *butts in*

[psi-flames.livejournal.com]

Means back home I've managed to either royally piss off or get used by the women in my life. What few I might have had a chance with, I never GAVE a chance because in me own head, I jus' wasn' worth it.

And you. YOU'VE got this beautiful, funny, strong girl who is willin' t' put up with yer shite and you're going to let it all slip away 'cause you won't bloody well say SORRY.

Impressed. Definitely impressed.

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

I can't let something slip away if it's already been damaged beyond repair.

People...make their assessments of me others and usually stick to them.

[psi-flames.livejournal.com]

Mate, you ain't even tried seein' if it's completely gone.

I ain't ever gonna get another chance with Paige. She's got someone else an'...reckon 'e's probably better for her. Don' mean I don' wish I could go back an' jus' say somethin' when it might've done some good.

Even if it don' do any good, though, it ain't gonna hurt anybody to jus' apologize. Least you ain't always gonna be wonderin' what if, yanno?

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I prefer things just to be as they are now.

[psi-flames.livejournal.com]

If 'at's so, more power t' you. Still wouldn' hurt t' apologize. Jus' to keep the air clear.

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

*the first honest thing he's said*

I don't want to.

[psi-flames.livejournal.com]

*And Jono knows it too.*

Well, least yer bein' honest 'bout yer reasons now.

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

She'll still be angry at me.
