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. ]

[ 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!! ]

[ 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. ]

[ 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??

[epiprocta]

[ Is she serious. Sounding more weary and skeptical than he does truly annoyed: ]

Didn't pin the guy as the type to appreciate a photobook of selfies or whatever. S'all.

[ Well, whatever. No skin off his back if she gets yelled at for wasting the Regent's time with a lookbook or whatever. And since it's easy enough to feign cooperation with this mundane bullshit, he does follow up his comment with a mental snapshot.

Freshly showered (after getting rolled around the training grounds by Eustace) and dressed in plainer clothes, with his hair down, Lottie might notice he looks younger than when they last spoke. Much more his age than the surly thug he'd probably seemed and acted like before. ]

[ Lottie has to refrain from commenting that these selfies aren't for the Regent, because she has a feeling even if she did this guy will still think otherwise.. Which is a dumb train of thought itself - she hates how much she cares about how other people think of her!!

It means she's a little more Judgmental™ when he mentally sends that selfie over. And she does notice his face, but Misty's (her bestie from the ye olde verse, god rest her cute soul) skin is as smooth as a baby's ass and she's thirty, so, this guy is probably older. Secretly crustier, she childishly concludes. ]

You wear your bangs down?

[epiprocta]

... kinda surprised you're asking that.

[ Especially after that last conversation they had. What kind of good organized-crime-affiliated thug wears their hair down? The only saving grace here is probably the fact that that smarmy response is said pretty blandly; he's too tired to give her too much attitude at the moment, and he does answer her properly afterward. ]

Not usually. I was ... [ Ugh. 'Training' sounds so dweeby. ] -- working out. Gets in the way if I wear it down.

[ He only bothers when he needs to pretend to be a 'normal student,' and that's really not very often. ]

Are you thinking about how to give everyone matching makeovers or something?

[oomfies]

[ What, like, squatting? Or lifting? Is that what guys like this do when they 'work out'? Lottie squints at a random spot on her wall, imagining it's Gen's face there instead. Eventually, she gives up and throws herself back on her bed, rolling around as she listens to him in her brain. ]

No..

[ Really, Lottie only knows how to give one person a makeover - and that's herself!! Perfection is never achieved waking up Like This™ (runny nose, dark circles, drool marks, blurry vision, dried out hair and a frown on her face). ]

I can do makeup, but I'm not a makeup artist.
