Which is more embarrassing? To be embarrassed in front of a relative whom you respect and look up to, or to be embarrassed in front of someone you've recently befriended?

The former, easily.

[light_of_x]

Even if the latter is someone you very much wish to impress?

[jhanactus_zurin]

Tough call then. Probably the latter, in that case. You'll always have another chance with family unless you make a major mistake, but only so many chances to impress someone new.

[light_of_x]

*nods* True.

[pogo_boy]

*considers the question, answers a bit shyly, keeping his armor in data storage* The second. Family knows you better, so if you mess up they usually know how much of it is something you meant and how much of it is just things going wrong. Someone you just met, they wouldn't know you that well. And it's hard fix things when people get a bad impression of you.

[light_of_x]

But what if the cause for your embarrassment is that you did something to embarrass someone close to the family member you respect?

[pogo_boy]

*he has a bit of trouble with this. the family member he respected the most wasn't particularly social, and his answer is uncertain* Apologize so they won't be mad?

[light_of_x]

I'm not asking what to do - that part is obvious, and your answer there is correct. I'm merely curious as to which one you would find more embarrassing.

[oohshinyobjects]

Getting embarassed in front of relatives. They always know just how to make the situation more embarassing from practice. **nods**

OMFG.. You look shiny. May I scan you? Please? It's totally non-invasive and I don't know why everyone's paranoid about me doing it..

[light_of_x]

Er... hello, Gate. >.>

Yes, family can definitely know which buttons to push. Close friends, too. And some of them seem to get enjoyment from increasing the embarrassment.

Uh, no, I don't think that's a good idea.

[oohshinyobjects]

Exactly! At least people you're relatively new to don't know how to tigger exponential embarassment increases!

Spoilsport.

I prefer to think of it as wise, given that you know next to nothing about cyber elf technology and my systems are having enough problems as it is. =P

[panthalassa]

Another version of X, I presume?

You seem to have...shrunk. *blink*

[light_of_x]

It's a long story. -_-

Hello, Gate. It's been a long time since I saw you. Er... what was the last thing you remember doing before you came here? *trying to get a feel for when exactly Gate is from*

[panthalassa]

...exactly one what one of the Alias here said when I asked her the same question. It still seems like an interesting story, if a long one.

...the sixth uprising has already happened for me, if that's what you're wondering.

[light_of_x]

I see. >.> Interesting, long, and probably revealing more about the future than I want you to know. Let's just say that something happened to my old body and someone in my universe used the cyber elf technology to keep me from disappearing completely.

Does that mean that you're still Maverick?

[wise_wings]

The first.

*slight wince*
