kenoma | the yassification begins, voice

[oomfies]

[ Hello everybody, are you ready for the wildest thing to hit your brain this afternoon? It's Lottie! This time not giving in and resorting to text, and post giving herself the pep talk of her life to introduce this idea to all her fellow baddies™ (literally). ]

Hii! Hope I'm not interrupting anything by posting this since I know we're all busy adjusting. I'm Lottie Person, and I was thinking over some things about the war and all that stuff..

We really need to start working on our image. If we want to make sure people don't leave and join the other side, or think we're bad people, we have to rebrand. Thankfully, I'm pretty experienced in PR [ she isn't ] so I'm putting this thing together for the Regent.

Soo, send me your best selfie!

Thanks. TTYL!

[ Yes, you WILL hear a kissie sound at the end of this post. ]

A what?

[ what the FUCK is a selfie ]

[oomfies]

[ oh jesus christ...not THIS again!!!! ]

A selfie??

[lockedon]

[ He is not even going to reply to that because USE YOUR WORDS, LOTTIE???? ]

[affal]

( ......... okay, so he doesn't disagree, but it begs the question )

And what, pray tell, do you believe is the key to an image that will make people flock to our cause?

( sounds like someone is questioning your credentials, lottie... )

[oomfies]

You'd have to send me a selfie for me to answer that.

[ SORRY.. She does have answers but after her conversation with Eustace, she needs people to see other people participate. It's science! ]

This is a case by case project!

[affal]

I don't require any help in this regard.

( i'm sry just bother him a little more )

[expiera]

Is this really necessary?

[sis......... can u feel the palpable reluctance from the other end,]

[oomfies]

[ she can feel it sis.. and it's giving her hives. ]

Absolutely! Don't tell me you don't consider looks before choosing to follow somebody.

[expiera]

That's-- not it, of course first impressions are important. But so is personality and attitude, if you want to make a lasting and positive impression!

[...wait,]

What's wrong with how we look? Are you actually thinking of someone in particular, when you say someone may switch side based on appearance and style alone?

[???????]

[lifespanned]

[ It's okay Lottie... Misa sees this conversation and definitely agrees that it is IMPORTANT. Thankfully context has already been provided, so she's quick to transmit an ✨image✨ into everyone's minds. ]

You know, you're really right. People can react totally differently depending on how you look and dress. It's important to think about it!

[ Look sometimes you need to slut it up a little to get information, this is basic knowledge?? Anyways, the next image she transmits is a mental screenshot of what is essentially MISAMISA.COM, an image that provides her portfolio of pictures. ]

Is this the kind of profile you're putting together for each of us?

[lockedon]

[ WHY is he getting unsolicited pics projected to him via Mind Twitter, this sucks, how does he delete his account? ]

[oomfies]

[ Her mind mentally projects: deal with it Misa is cute : /. But only in vibe form. ]

[oomfies]

[ ANYWAY.. Ignoring Eustace's Hater-isms™, Lottie is very thankful to see at least someone here who believes in her. She smiles big when Misa sends a mental recap of selfie, and her website. Immediately, she sends her own mental screenshot of her website - enjoy the article about pants, everyone!! ]

You're a model?! I knew it.

[ She doesn't mean to send it, but Lottie ends up projecting a moment of when a fan asked her to sign one of her interviews (it's only relevant because it was published in a Japanese magazine - and she does see Kyoto on that page - but Lottie remembers thinking doesn't matter if she can't read it, still looks good!). ]

Thank you for showing support, Misa! You look flawless. [ As usual, her tone implies. ] I was thinking something along the lines of that. If I want to get a look at clothing being made, I'm definitely gonna need measurements.. What do you think?

[lachtara]

[ Ah, one of the Kenoma with 'no combat skills'. Perhaps she has other useful skills? ]

Perception can be an important component of success. What are you proposing?

[oomfies]

[ Lottie doesn't even really care that she doesn't immediately recognize this voice, she's just glad to see a change of pace. It's why she sounds equal parts surprised and delighted when she projects her voice, ]

Well, Misa suggested profiles! I was more focused on making sure we stay relevant and freshen up our look to be more iconic.. [ The impression of matching outfits for different, official, occasions comes to mind. Public events to remind everyone yes, they are baddies. ] But having a directory of each of us and a list of stuff we can do can make getting in touch easier?

[zauneyete]

[ Flatly: ] I have no idea what a "selfie" is.

[ And then a pause. ] Do you really think PR is needed? I would have thought the ones here were committed. You disagree?

[oomfies]

[ Ugh. Now Lottie is really regretting having ever said that bit - maybe Ciel had a point when she was bullying (read: rightfully questioning) her about it. But instead of getting defensive, she thinks Silco is fairly neat, so she opts for the safer option: ]

Just ignore that.

[ It's not relevant, her tone implies. She's dismissive towards it mainly because she wants to help - and by help, Lottie means sending Silco a selfie. Yes, the hot pink lips are freshly painted on! ]

A selfie is just a photo of yourself. Like a portrait, kinda!

[baltimores]

[ There's the sense that this message has been marked as read. Heard. Whatever.

... Yeah, that's all he's got. ]

[oomfies]

[ You know, that is technically the kinder of the replies she's gotten to her idea so.. He'll sense that Lottie is acknowledging him leaving her on read, with her own leaving him on read. But, you know, respectfully. ]

[galdorleod]

I couldn't agree more.

[ No communion message this far has spoken to Howl the way this one has.

His response is delayed, but eventually he sends Lottie a carefully curated picture of himself. Yes, he did spruce himself up in his room just now for the sole purpose of this image. And congratulations Lottie — after more than a month of being too apathetic to dye his hair, you've motivated him to go blond again. ]

[oomfies]

[ Oh! This one's in text. And also, this one has an image projected? Lottie smiles sagely, finally seeing her fellow Kenoma for who they really are: hotties. She can really tell he had fun arranging his space, just as much as she thinks he did posing, and it reads well to her. ]

10/10. i love the concept and so should everyone else!
although, i have to ask. we don't get breezes in these rooms.. did u get your intern to fan your hair for that effect??

[epiprocta]

[ Even before getting into the question of why the hell PR matters for war: ]

You saw everyone at that dinner, why d'you need selfies to pull off whatever bullshit you're planning.

[ It's said at a deadpan, but the undercurrent of skepticism and 'why are you wasting my time with this' still comes through thick, sorry-not-sorry. ]

[oomfies]

[ She recognizes this voice.. She thought you'd at least support her. The #shade of it all - ]

Yeah, but.. There's a LOT of us. It's easier for me to keep track of what to do if I at least have a photo from everyone.

[ Support your elders!! ]

[semicharmed]

[ One might get the sense that Matt's been ... psychically lurking, through some of these conversations. He's unsure what he has to offer combatively speaking, and even less sure that anyone would want to hear from him.

But if beautiful Lottie (also known as just Lottie) is asking him for a selfie--well, that's only as fraught as Tinder used to be. So Matt tries to channel his psychic focus towards projecting his self-conception into an image.

... Oh God, not that one.

Here we go! ]

Sorry, the second one is my submission. Psychic communication is ... only selectively my forte.

[oomfies]

[ This is.. An interesting misfire, if only because Lottie was instinctually expecting a selfie and got. Well, an interesting perception of the self?? Is that how she should phrase it? A good concept for a shoot, too, she decides after lingering on the first photo for a moment. ]

It's no problem! Psychic communication is new to me, too. Haven't been without a phone like this in years..

[ Understatement of the century! ]

Nice pic, though. [ She draws back to the second picture, brows raising at his choice of fashion but in a less judgmental way, more huh, wow, alright. ] The sweater vest is cute?
