The Anonymous Personal Ads Meme!

How it works!

1. Post as your character!
2. Other characters draft a personal advertisement for yours! Do this any way you'd like to, but it's more fun if you post anonymously.
3. Have fun disputing the claims/guessing who wrote the ads/correcting for accuracy/general shenanigans!

Which part in particular? Or was it just all of it?

[battorch]

I meant in general, yes.

[(Anonymous)]

I guess I ought to read up on these "personals", then. I thought you were supposed to extol someone's virtues? Or perceived virtues, at least...

[battorch]

Well-- yes. That's the idea behind them. Even if I'm not entirely sure about being called a 'challenge.'

You don't seem like the type to swoon over the first pretty face to come along. Or the seventeenth. Or the eightieth.

I'd call that a challenge. (And be kind of impressed, really.) Doesn't mean anything bad. It does mean that it'll take more than a pretty face for you to be swayed by a person.

[battorch]

Wait-- you're impressed by that?

I understand then. It's not about aesthetics. I have more important things to worry about.

[(Anonymous)]

You say that like it's something weird. Is it?

[battorch]

It doesn't strike me as something to really be that 'impressed' by.

[(Anonymous)]

All right, I'll bite. Why?

[battorch]

I'd not say that 'hard to get' and general indifference have played well in the past. Though generally it's not something I've thought much about.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, so the personal was a waste of time? That's a pity.

[battorch]

I didn't mean to invalidate the effort. Or the interest. I just have different priorities.
