Florida Man birthday headlines:

Pick 5 OCs and enter their birthdays into Google (IE: "January 18 Florida man") and share the best headline for each of them, as well as a reaction from each OC.

Here you go!

Avlaroess, June 8: " Florida Man Dubbed the 'Diaper Bandit' Arrested Again"

Avlaroess looks up from the headline with a look of mingled disbelief and disgust on his face.

"Are you quite sure this actually happened? Perhaps this headline is a hoax of some kind?" He almost seems hopeful...

--

Toni, October 31: "Florida Man Arrested for Robbery Steals Oreos and Soda"

"That's it?" Toni almost seems disappointed. "This is tame." A pause. "...Actually that's the best part o' this, isn't it? It's not Florida-man crazy; it's actually kind o' normal. Which makes it unpredictable, doesn't it?" She chuckles to herself. "Florida men need to eat too, you know."

--

Fihn & Tahlen, May 20: "Florida Man with Gun Shoots at Florida Man with a Banana"

For once, both brothers seem to be in agreement - this is absurd and hilarious.

"Does he have something against bananas?" Tahlen asks, visibly trying not to laugh.

"There's gotta be more to it than that," Fihn says once he's fully recovered from a snort that almost took him out.

--

Alexei, December 18: "Florida Man Wearing Red Thong as Mask Kicked off United Flight"

Alexei blinks a couple times in confusion. "That is odd choice," He says finally. "Would not have been easier to just wear normal mask? I do not understand why thong is necessary."

--

Lillianna, November 12: "Florida Man Arrested After Drive-Thru Meltdown Over Lack of Lettuce"

Lillianna scoffs and shakes her head. "Some people have absolutely no sense of decorum. You know, you could replace "Florida Man" with "Karen" and it wouldn't be nearly as news worthy."

She seems upset, and she carries on muttering about "some people" for quite some time.

Do I really get a tag? I just noticed that. I adore that.

I hope you have a nice day.

Tell five random OCs and one rand Rent-Free I love them!

Bye bye!

Of course you get a tag! You are a treasured friend! Very important!

'I love you' reactions under the cut! (Written like the message was delivered for you)

Ghost's face lights up when he hears the message, his grey eyes bright with excitement. "Really?" He squeaks. Before any answer can be given, he turns on his heel and runs away. The sounds of distant muffled squealing can be heard from farther into his room.

Salem stands a little straighter, puffing his chest out with pride. The look on his face could be described as sheer self-confidence. "Well of course they do," He smirks, as if there could be no other possibility - as though he was made to be loved, praised, perhaps even worshipped. With the way he carries himself, there's a strong probability that he really does believe that.

Avlaroess freezes for a few moments before canting his head a little to the side, looking politely confused. "I'm sorry?" He asks, but it doesn't come across as an apology - more like an indication that he doesn't think he heard correctly. If clarification is given, he only looks more confused, as though this was never an outcome he'd predicted. And perhaps it wasn't.

Aquarios lights up at those words, and their cheeks gain a pinkish tint. "Really?" They suddenly seem a little shy, but pleased. "Tell them I love them too!" They chirp in reply after a few seconds, smiling bashfully.

Dezyn seems to be caught off guard. "They what?" He asks, tilting his head a little in confusion. His gaze is unwavering, even though his eyes aren't open. After a while he relaxes, an easy grin on his face as he slouches and fiddles with something in his hoodie pocket. "Well, isn't that something?"

Nyx freezes for a moment and then, in the blink of an eye, all his swagger returns. "oh really?" He drawls, edging forward. His grin has a cocky, smug edge to it, and he practically radiates self-satisfaction. He leans in closer, the light from his exposed soul accenting his jawline with a warm glow. "well why don'tcha give 'em a return message from me?" He whispers his message, his tone sly and teasing. Hmm...it might be better not to relay this, actually.

🌊 Has your OC ever seen the ocean? If not, do they want to? What do they think of it? For how about the dragons? :)

Avlaroess has seen the ocean a couple times, but he's not terribly interested in it. Especially considering he can't swim, it would be a real shame to get tired flying over such a large body of water. He's not afraid of the ocean, he just...doesn't think it's all that exciting.

Salem never had a chance to see the ocean growing up, as his clan is from a land-locked area. But once he was the only one left, he began to travel and learn more things about the world around him. He quickly discovered he enjoys the beach, and he really enjoys sunning, even though he's an Ice dragon and it's not really necessary. He also really enjoys pranking tourists.

Fihn & Tahlen have never seen the ocean. They've lived most of their lives in captivity, being shuffled from cage to pen to cage for the amusement of traveling humans. Fihn would like to see the ocean, if only so he can fall asleep on the sand. Tahlen insists he doesn't care anymore.

Aquarios is from the ocean! He doesn't have many opportunities to see it from the outside, but personally he prefers to be in the water. Humans like to crowd up beaches near the ocean and make a lot of noise and leave their garbage everywhere. Not a fan.

(this one might be a little sad lol)

How would any of them act to an S/o that went missing for a week coming back, and it turns out that they got lost in the woods near their house?

They've got some bruises and wounds, maybe a broken arm, but they're alive.

(This is based a little on something that happened to my brother :D but also not really... it's a long story.)

Heck of a story, I bet.

Toni is glad you're alive, don't get her wrong. But you were gone a week? A whole week! What did you eat? Please tell her you knew that those berries and mushrooms were safe to eat! She's taking you to the hospital, but whether it's before or after she figures it out herself remains to be seen.

The relief when Avlaroess sees you is palpable, and he almost crushes you with a hug. You later learn that he was frantic the entire time you were gone, and though he searched everywhere to find you, he apparently didn't search everywhere. He gets you the best medical attention he can, and for the next (long) while, he will happily provide anything you want or need. Just...please don't scare him like that again.

Salem is glad you're alive, but you could swear he looks...older somehow. It's not just in his face, but his mannerisms too. You were only gone a week but he may as well have aged years. You realize later that it was caused by stress, and once he has you again those age signs start to fade. He doesn't take you to a hospital. Instead he opts to heal your injuries himself - he has magic and some knowledge of human medicine. It'll be a long while before he lets you out of his sight again.

If Alexei had known where you were, he would have happily stayed in the forest with you for that week. Then you wouldn't have been lost, and he would have gone hunting to make sure the food you had wasn't poisonous. He would have protected you. Ah, if only you had told him. What? Yes, he knows it doesn't work like that. He is glad you're alive, but next time bring a compass or something (at the very least).

Violet seriously wishes you had told someone where you were going. He knows what kind of dangerous people hang out in woods like that, because he was one of those dangerous people once. You're lucky to be alive, honestly, but not just because someone could have murdered you. You were gone for a week, what did you eat? He knows firsthand what it's like to go without food, so before any serious medical attention is gotten, he makes sure you eat. He'll spoon feed you himself, but it's not because he thinks you're incapable - it's to ease his own anxieties. He has control over this. See? You're eating. And if you're eating, everything's fine. Once you've eaten, it's time to get those injuries looked at. He wants badly to tend to your wounds himself, partly to remind himself very firmly that he is not one of those dangerous people anymore, but some of these injuries are beyond him, so he is kind of forced to take you to a hospital.

Okay so Avlaroess. I have no idea who you are, but I want to ask a question. How would he react to meeting someone that comes from a line of dragon hunters, but they don't hunt dragons.

They help any that their family catches to get away.

I had an oc like that once :3

Avlaroess is conflicted, but not for the reasons you'd think. Av comes from a line of dragons who tried very hard to wipe out all other dragon clans. In some cases, they succeeded.

Avlaroess is his clan's heir, but he is staunchly against their traditional practices - he'd probably find ways to get his clan mates caught - the older and more stubborn ones in particular. Of course he understands that his situation is unique, and if he can get his dragon hunter friend in agreement, Avlaroess will be more than willing to point out his most stubborn and murderous relatives.

Dezyn: In my defense, I was left unsupervised. Avlaroess: Wasn't Xilixas with you? Xilixas: In my defense, I was also left unsupervised.

Is Avlaroess someone that lies often or does he not lie at all?

Avlaroess looks at you like you've just said something particularly foul.

"I'll thank you not to insinuate any such dishonesty on my part again." He's practically bristling, but once you explain that you hadn't meant to insinuate anything, he calms down.

"I am not in the habit of telling anything less than whole truths." He says, now looking a little sheepish. "Though I will admit, there are times when I may...skirt the truth, just a small amount." He looks off to the side. "In some cases I have found it easier to avoid speaking on a topic that might tempt me toward being deceitful."

What a roundabout way of saying there are some things he just doesn't like to talk about.

How would Avlaroess, Salem, Fihn & Tahlen, Aquarios and Perenia react to a dragon S/o? They look like this but have a human form too, just cause. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/24/30/31/243031f350dea2142afb3cc8a7723e2f.jpg

Lucky for you, all your choices except Perenia are dragons! They love it! Avlaroess loves having a partner who can go on flights with him. Humans are fine (because he can shift), but flying with a human is not nearly as enjoyable as flying with another dragon. Also, since he isn't great with social cues, being with them is less stressful! Human customs are so confusing sometimes...

Salem will brag about them. They're more than arm candy to him, but he'll parade them around like arm candy, especially since their multi-coloured scales complement his all-white scales so well. They're a beautiful couple, and he flaunts it.

Fihn & Tahlen will have to find a way to share them, being conjoined like they are (hard to date one without the other getting involved). Tahlen doesn't like sharing that often, but this dragon is so pretty, and he supposes he could make an exception...you know, just this once. And if they can get Tahlen to behave and be civilized, Fihn will be happy too. Fihn will like them for who they are - getting his brother to be nice is just an added bonus.

It doesn't make much of a difference to Aquarios whether his datemate is a dragon or not. He'll love them just as much either way! Unless they're a water dragon, or can handle being underwater, he'll have to be either on dry land or sitting half in the water to hang out with them.

Perenia doesn't have very strong opinions abut dating a dragon, just as long as they don't torch forests indiscriminately. Her home is the woods, and she takes it upon herself to care for the plants and animals that surround her. Though...those scales are very pretty and shimmery...
