honestly if we didnt hate the same people we would have a friendship based on nothing

[dedikated]

Have you ever just wanted to tell someone flat-out what you think of them as a person? Does your roommate have this one quirk that drives you up the wall, like dripping apathy all over the kitchen sink? Sometimes all it takes to be the best person you can be is a dose of self-awareness, sometimes what it takes instead is a cluebat to the head... and sometimes they just have a stupid name you can never quite spell right.

For all this and more, have I got the meme for you!

THE LOWDOWN
i. Post a header with your character's name.
ii. Comment in-character to other people's headers. With what? Depends on your CR! Maybe they're a good person and really should keep on keeping on, maybe literally everyone can see they need to suck it up and confess already, maybe they'll change their wicked ways if just one extra person casts aspersions on their pompadour. Bring in examples if you want, as with any helpful critique. Be as creative as you like!
iii. Other characters will comment to yours, no doubt overflowing with well-meaning advice on how to be the best person they can be. Your character is free to respond. Excuse you, maybe despair is still in fashion?
iv. Feel free to assume there's a compulsion to speak their minds, if your character's not usually the type to give unsolicited advice.
v. A probably unnecessary reminder, but just remember, this is not a place for OOC crit! There are other, more appropriate channels for that.

You're welcome.

[ c: ]

That is not true. There is an orchard with plenty of edible crops, and you and I have both complained of boredom. I even gave you a quick cooking lesson once.

[Never.]

[lifetothefullest]

[Stop with the logic! It ruins his excuses. :c]

Okay, fine. It's also an area of focus that I just don't care to put the time and energy into at the moment.

[That's much closer to the truth, so be happy. >:c]

[notimpervious]

[Haha no way that is what she's best at!]

Why not?

[She does not understand.]

[lifetothefullest]

[Give him a moment to figure out the best way to explain without saying too much at the same time, although thankfully Brennan isn't the best at reading into things and so he has some leeway on the latter part.]

You know how when you have a case that's particularly interesting, or that you have some personal investment in, taking breaks for eating and sleeping and other things like just seems like a waste of time and effort that you could be putting toward what you're doing?

[notimpervious]

[Lucky Lance tbh.]

Yes, but we've already established that does not apply here, since we are both lacking in projects to work on.

[lifetothefullest]

It hasn't applied much previously, but it does right now. At least for me.

[With the whole Null thing going on.]

[notimpervious]

What are you working on instead of cooking?

[Brennan--










--the point.]

[lifetothefullest]

[...Brennan please.]

People keep trying to murder each other.

[notimpervious]

That isn't all so different from how things are at home.

[Yes it is but she's focusing on something specific here, namely boredom and cooking.]

[lifetothefullest]

At home I normally eat at the diner. Or I get whatever is in the FBI building's vending machines, or order takeout, or just have ramen.

[No need to argue about how different the situation is here when going with this logic works just as well.]

[notimpervious]

I was talking about the murder. Our work is focused on catching murderers.

[Brennan shhhhh......]

[lifetothefullest]

Yeah, and with the situation here being similar to how it is at home, it means it makes sense that I have the same terrible eating habits.

[At least he admits they're terrible?]

[notimpervious]

That is terrible logic.

[ ]

[lifetothefullest]

How is that terrible logic? That makes perfect sense.

[ ]

[notimpervious]

You are repeating unhealthy behaviors because they're comforting when faced with murderers? Sweets, there isn't even prepared food to buy here! Cooking would be much easier and require only a minor adjustment to your lifestyle.

[lifetothefullest]

It'll be more than a minor adjustment when I burn down my apartment.

[He is not even going to try touching the rest of that because how dare she be even partially correct in her psychological stabs in the dark.]

[notimpervious]

[Psychology is not a real science blah blah you know how this goes.]

That is a risk that can be mitigated by cooking with supervision.

[lifetothefullest]

[Um, excuse you.]

I don't need to be supervised while cooking. I'm not twelve.

[No matter how he might look.]

[notimpervious]

Yes, you do! You just said you would burn your apartment down if left to cook by yourself.

[Your age is not under discussion here, your bad logic is.]

[lifetothefullest]

I was being overly dramatic.

[Which is, of course, a total rarity for him. He is never overdramatic.]

[notimpervious]

Why would you use a fire in your overly dramatic turn of phrase?

[You forgot to teach her about hyperboles, didn't you, Lance.]

[lifetothefullest]

[He regrets everything about all of this ngl.]

Because that's typically the end result of someone being really bad at cooking; it's the colloquial expression for that reason.

[notimpervious]

But it is-- a fire could be deadly!

[Help her. Stop her. Whatever. Sorry, Lance.]
