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. ]

[oomfies]

Yes? Of course there is.

[ She is woefully vague if only because she can feel that 'ugh' from miles on end, even in her nice little room. ]

I'm not doing photocards, though.

[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!! ]

[lockedon]

[ He opens his (metaphorical mental) mouth to ask what the hell a photocard is, thinks better of it, and closes it again. ]

The Regent specifically asked you to do this?

[oomfies]

No? I said I was putting this together for them.

[ In other words: she's doing this of her own free will and definitely for brownie points. Because one thing she witnessed at their super awkward dinner was that, above all, the Regent loves cute girls. So even if she fucks this up she should still be fine! ]

[lockedon]

[ That explains a lot.

Enough, actually, that he doesn't even bother responding and, like Amos, opts to mark the rest of this entire nonsensical conversation as ✓ read.

Have fun, Lottie. 👋 ]

[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!

[oomfies]

[ Frankly, she hopes you get fleas and a rash somewhere uncomfortable. Her brain broadcasts this fairly loudly, so much she hopes that his neighbors and dumb little knives hear it!

She'll remember this when your cat boy fur gets matted! 👋 ]

[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?

[epiprocta]

[ Sorry Lottie, you probably should've known better than to have any faith in a horrible Youth. 😔

Lottie can probably feel him rolling his eyes at her through this transmission, even if his response is fairly bland. ]

What 'thing' are you trying to make, anyway. Don't think that guy [ the Regent, he means ] is gonna like it if you're wasting their time with something dumb.

[ And she might hear a low mutter of 'where's the mirror ...' from his end, so at least Lottie's eventually going to get the support she wanted if she waits a few more moments. Not like he thinks this is going to be a good plan in any way, but he's curious just how much of a ridiculous idea she's come up with. ]

[oomfies]

[ Damn!! That was such an easy and simple explanation of what she wants to do.. She wishes she could've heard this sooner so she could steal it and brand it as her own. Her opinion of this strange man with beautiful hair has skyrocketed to the very top, feeling both moved and seen. ]

Um.. Yeah!! Yeah, that's basically it. Exactly, it, actually.

[ And miraculously, Lottie does manage to sound apologetic when she asks: ]

I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name? What is it?

[ After all.. He hit her with the 'miss'!! This is a polite lad!!! ]

[oomfies]

[ She respects you more and more everyday Howl, and she only just met you today. ]

[lachtara]

A directory of information could be useful amongst ourselves, yes.

[ He by no means is discouraging the outfits. A bold look to make an impression on those who saw them - A memorable impression - can be valuable. As long as they are tasteful and make him look good. Ahem. ]

If you would like to appeal to those outside of our ranks, it may take a different approach. Have you spoken to any of the locals? Perhaps conjured some ideas of what they would find memorable?

[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??

[zauneyete]

[ He can shrug off the suggestion. He wondered if she heard something, but if others could hear, perhaps she's concerned about letting that one get out. It's logical.

He'll perhaps ask later. ]

Do I have to wear lipstick? [ Lottie, it's really hard to tell if he's joking or not in this moment. ]

[expiera]

[Some of us may be skeptics but we're at least not skeptic assholes?? This still feels rather pointless, but it's not like it's some harmful or complicated suggestion that would really boggle down on resources. They've spoken before and Lottie admitted to not being great in combat, so it made sense for her to try doing things from a different angle. She deserves the benefit of the doubt, at the very least. That's why there's no need to be super dismissive or rude!

Ciel is not coping, her reasoning is perfectly sound.

...]

Approachable for anything? I'd try to answer questions and help in whatever ways I can. Whether it's learning how to fight, information about this world, or just sit down for a break and some small talk... All this can understandably be very overwhelming, but we can see each other through it.

[Like a senpai tutorial NPC, she really said she'd jive with that ~brand~ the most... Is she even doing this right,]

[oomfies]

[ She forgets to stop astral projecting™ her feelings, much less her words, and he can hear the loud, delighted, laugh of surprise that leaves her lips. It'd make sense for him to have some, right? She's seen his makeup before.

..Was he wearing a natural lip that night? She can't remember, but she's curious - ]

Do you have some??

[lifespanned]

[ and she is just vain enough to project more images of herself to everyone once she sees most of the kenomies actually following Lottie's lead. Plus, Eustace deserves to get annoyed more in her mind. this one's for you eustace ]

[lockedon]

[lifespanned]

Hee hee, you do too! I was wondering if you were into fashion. Your hair color is so trendy. And you totally have a model's proportions!

[ From America, at least. She sees that little "fashion blogger" note on her website. Inwardly, she's excited to know someone else from the same trade - it's a little comforting, even, given that a lot of the people here are soldiers or wizards or something else outlandish. Look, she even has spreads in Japanese magazines! How wonderful!! ]

But I think it'd be great if we all had similar wardrobes. Wouldn't it be easier to tell us apart when we meet up with the Pleroma if we're all wearing something similar? Kind of like a uniform? Or are you thinking more about things we should wear around the city...

[ Because in the heat of battle or any conflict, she can imagine it would be difficult to tell who is on their team from just a glance, unless they were all wearing something that obviously identified them as Kenoma. ]

[zauneyete]

Do I look like they type that does?

[ It's a touch more sardonic. ] I don't wear lipstick, I'm afraid, so I might be lacking in the key element, if it's required.

[galdorleod]

Hah! That would have worked too. But, no — just the employment of simple magic. I'd wager every Aion has the power to produce a momentary breeze for themselves, if they need it.

If you are not familiar with it yet, I could teach you.

[ Transparently trying to pick her up. But he isn't trying to hide the fact, either. She's beautiful. How are there not more people hitting on her? What a shame. ]

[oomfies]

Your eyebrow looked pretty clean, I dunno!

[ There's a smile to her lips, easily heard and felt through the conversation. ]

Lucky for you, selfies don't require lipstick. All it needs is you, and a clean mirror. I just miss putting on colors like that, I guess..

[zauneyete]

One must look their best for the Regent, and I'm quite certain they wouldn't be pleased, if I hadn't drawn it in.

[ He's been doing it for seven or so years, it should be good at this point. ]

I'm surprised they don't have colors like that here. [ A pause. It's like he's thinking, trying to figure out how this works, before... Lottie gets a very begrudging image. ]

Like that?

[oomfies]

[ If anymore possible, Lottie's smile would be wider at having that instant validation of someone recognizing hard work when they see it. It isn't easy to maintain this hair, and it isn't easy to keep her figure. ]

Thanks! It's hard work but.. Well, I think you know how it goes.

[ This is said like they're really only sharing a secret between themselves which, considering no one else in this faction is particularly normal, it might as well be. ]

Definitely both, though. I think having a set standard for outside clothes versus around the town clothes would be perfect. Something easy to move in but still identifiable and chic?

[oomfies]

[ Lottie feels she already explained that first bit, so she doesn't answer it!! Instead he will spiritually feel her roll her eyes, as well, before pausing. And then zoning in on - ]

It won't be dumb. Why do you assume something I do would be dumb??
