_Prompt; "I can see your point, but I still think you're full of it." His face downcast as he spoke, that all-too-familiar smile molded into his features like a carnival mask; Slender hands were occupied with some small object of no particular significance, something he could use to extend his attention to the other by proxy.

     “I don’t really care what you think,” Matt uttered with an apathetic sort of indifference, with green eyes that were shaded by goggles and dark brown hair staring intently at the small device he held. From it came a quiet, cheerful melody and a quick and calculated series of clicks. “You or anyone, actually.”

Hello, I was wondering if you would consider adding my name to the list. I am neonate to the tumblr roleplaying community, however, I have been 'in' as well as roleplaying within the fandom for roughly seven years and would like to be a part of this directory. Thank you for your time.

No problem!

Nasute

"Thousands of generations of Tacottis have this nose!" father screamed. Olivia sunk into her chair at the dining table, her eyes fixed on his nose, that protruding, bumpy, flaring, red and hairy nose. The nose she inherited. The nose of her ancestors. The nose of her future children.

"It' defines us. People don't come up to us and say, 'You've got a great schnozz, there.' No, they look at us in awe. We're a specimen, Olivia. We are proud of our heritage. We don't go off and pay $2,000 for a nose job just to look like some Anglo! What, you want to be Angelina Jolie or something? Marilyn Monroe?"

Olivia imagined the scans at the surgeon's office. She'd seen a Marilyn nose, but passed, thinking it seemed too plain.

"Now, see, Lady Gaga. There's someone you can relate to. She doesn't hide from her beautiful nose. She doesn't really hide from anything, much less wear clothes, but that's not the point. You're my daughter, and I won't have you scarred for life."

Olivia thought her father must have found her Facebook page, seeing the posts she made about Lady Gaga's latest video. Her stomach turned at the thought of him reading her social life.

"Think about what Grandpop would say. He'd collapse right here on the floor. You would be an abomination. There's no way you're getting it done. No way."

Two years, thirty two days, five hours and fourteen minutes, Olivia thought, until freedom. That would be enough time to configure the perfect nose.
