new rule: if your character is a sassy little rebellious spitfire who likes to talk shit, you better be prepared for your character to get hit. 2018 is the year that muns with these kinds of snarky characters accept that there should be consequences to smarting off at the mouth to another character who could easily ruin their fucking day.

if you’re writing a character of high status, immense power, incredible skill, or just someone that you generally would not want to antagonize for shits and giggles, it is not fun feeling as though you have been written into a corner by someone who wants to show off how sassy and badass their character is when you know that your character could DEMOLISH them :T

like, damn, maybe plot together first, or — if you’re flying by the seat of your pants here — let the other person know it’s ok if they fuck up ur muse for being a disrespectful little shit. life is more fun when u get to write fight scenes anyway tbh.

anyway pls respect other muns w/ characters who could fuck your shit up b/c it’s really not fun for them when every other character comes at them with their fists up (verbal or otherwise), yet so few people are willing to let their characters face the consequences of their actions.

Papers were littered all around her as Minnie kept switching between textbooks. There was a half empty pot of coffee at the corner of the table. The girl looked haggard, hair pulled into a messy bun, tired eyes, hands slightly shaking from how much coffee she’d consumed. She barely looked up when a shadow loomed over her workspace, “If it’s about the mess, I promise I’ll clean it up once I finish. Just a little behind schedule.”

[crikee-fu]

Cri-Kee was simply looking for a place that he could work at. Which, honestly, shouldn’t have been too difficult. Maybe it was a spout of bad luck (even though he always considered himself to be lucky) but his regular spot was completely taken over by another student. He slung himself over the seat across from her. “A little?,” he raised an eyebrow, “It looks like a hurricane hit the desk.”

[burningcalcifer-deactivated2021]

“No matter where they are, those ideas are just dumb to me.” He commented. “Nice to meet you, Cri-Kee. I’m Calcifer.” 

[crikee-fu]

“I would say everyone to their own, except I agree with you,” he shrugged, “What’s your major Cal?”

[hermes-kharmophron-blog]

“I know I’m alone, but do I look lonely? Do I look like I feel that kind of thing?”

[crikee-fu]

“You look like the same as me.” He smiled, “Yes.”

[elsa-van-helsing-dutchgirl-blog]

“And how do you do that with stories?”

[crikee-fu]

“You tell me three stories except one of them is fake. After you tell them, I try to guess the one that’s fake. Supposed to encourage the craziest stories that you have.”

[bucky-til-the-end-of-the-li-blog]

“To give an excuse? Like ‘I’m a whatever so of course I’m going to act like an asshole’ type thing? I don’t. I don’t pay attention to that sort of thing.”

[crikee-fu]

According to the vibes he had been reading on the Internet, the man seemed to be a Capricorn—hard-working but a bit...boring, so to speak. Cri-Kee raised an eyebrow with a lighthearted fashion, “Then what do you pay attention to?”

[wmushu-blog]

“It was an honestly naive mistake.” he corrected, teasing right back with a lazy nod in agreement. “Well, one out of three isn’t so bad. Can’t say I understand how you came to those conclusions though.”

[crikee-fu]

There was always something funny when someone called him naive—after all, he had started playing pokers with millionaires while in middle school. Probably something about the face.

He rolled his eyes. “Simple word association. Like how both benevolence and benediction means something good. Not my fault that the same didn’t apply to the zodiac signs.”

[burningcalcifer-deactivated2021]

“It is the latest fad. All I hard is people talking about how some moon is somewhere and the sun is elsewhere. Doesn’t make any sense to me.” 

[crikee-fu]

“Granted, the moon is somewhere and the sun is elsewhere.” he smiled impishly. “But I get what you’re saying. Oh, by the way, the name’s Cri-Kee.”

[hermes-kharmophron-blog]

“Do I look lonely?”

[crikee-fu]

“You certainly look alone. Don’t know if that means you’re lonely.” Cri-Kee shrugged.

“I think for halloween I might be a bad-ass bitch. I wouldn’t even need a costume. I could just go through my closet”

[crikee-fu]

Cri-Kee tilted his head and smiled. “I don’t think that ‘bad-ass bitch’ would be a costume.”

[spots-and-dotts-deactivated2017]

“Oh, I don’t doubt that - they can be quite fun in a non-educational setting.”

[crikee-fu]

“Maybe for them, but I’ve been trying to understand the difference between a Virgo and a Libra for the past thirty minutes.” He slumped in his chair. “I need a break.”

[elsa-van-helsing-dutchgirl-blog]

Elsa was hesitant to sit next to someone she didn’t know, but her love of telling stories got the better of her. “I’ve got hundreds of stories.” She said as she sat down.

[crikee-fu]

Cri-Kee loved stories. They also told a lot about the speaker: how charismatic they were, their ability to notice detail and how good they were at noting said details. All was amplified in their storytelling ability.

“Really? In that case we should play a game,” he smiled, “Two truths and a dare if you please, but with stories.”

[wmushu-blog]

“You thought they were, what?!” He asked shocked, eyeing the boy next to him with a raised brow before spitting out a laugh. “That’s adorable— Nah man, well, some are obviously gonna be virgins. But not all. That’s like saying every Cancer has cancer, or every Taurus is a Pokemon.”

[crikee-fu]

Cri-Kee stuck his tongue out at the stranger. “It was an honest mistake!” he smiled teasingly, “Don’t worry, I do know my Pokemon; I didn’t think Taurus would’ve been a Pokemon. I’ll decline to answer the Cancer part though.”

[elsa-van-helsing-dutchgirl-blog]

Elsa shrugged. “It is pretty stupid. But basically, yeah, they’re essentially blaming stars. People tend to do tons of stupid things.”

[crikee-fu]

“You make yourself sound like an expert observer of people screwing things up.” Cri-Kee grinned and patted the seat next to him, “Come, do you have a good story?”

[burningcalcifer-deactivated2021]

“Pretty much. I think it’s mostly used my twenty or thirty year old women who just need an explanation for the problems in their lives.” 

[crikee-fu]

Cri-Kee laughed, surprised but still delighted by his reply. “That’s unfortunate to hear. I did hear that zodiac signs were the latest fad right now though.” he shrugged. “That’s why I bothered to look it up in the first place.”

[wmarnie-blog]

“Don’t be silly.” she replied with a careless kind of giggle as she turned on her heels to face the boy that had questioned her actions. “My roommate will know me well enough– a silly name on a silly list means nothing.”

[crikee-fu]

Cri-Kee smiled pleasantly, quietly noting how much times she had said ‘silly’ in the span of one breath as well as the giggle. “And how will they know that? Unless you’re planning to look for them first.”

[hny-lmns]

Annie found herself smiling at the comment. “Yeah I know. But if I remember correctly that makes you a Aquarius … yeah I think that ends on the twentieth. It’s the tenth zodiac in the cycle and actually the most down to Earth.” Annie said. “If you go online it can tell you all the personality traits most Aquarius have and even who suits you best as friends and for relationships.”

[crikee-fu]

“Down to earth you say?” Cri-Kee mused, thinking about the splendor of certain gambling areas. “I can see the truth in that. And these zodiac signs foresee who your compatible with? That seems very...intense, so to speak.”
