silent protagonist syndrome

Jul 15, 2009 18:09

[ You look about the room. Not only is this not your bedroom, but someone actually took the liberty of changing you into your school uniform while you were sleeping! How awkward. In a last minute attempt to save your manliness, you decide not to think about it too much.

As far as you can tell, no one's around.

[ You see the man outside the hallway, and are vaguely startled. However, you do not show it, since you are a silent protagonist and silent protags don't show emotion.

In your brief moment of shock, you note the difference in animation and CG styles between you two, but decide not to bother humping the fourth wall too vigorously because that isn't quite in your nature. You forget the thought of it and continue on, nodding back at the man and turning towards him.

> Don't say anything.
> Ask him how it's going.
> Ask him if he knows anything about the place.
> Rub up against him.

You remember that you are not Kanji and the game makes your sexuality clear through your assortment of girlfriends. In addition, stranger danger.

> Don't say anything.
> Ask him how it's going.
> Ask him if he knows anything about the place.
> Rub up against him.

You ask the man how it's going. It's a polite start to an undoubtedly very confused conversation. ]

[ You raise an eyebrow.

> "If you call this 'enjoyment' then you've got some pretty shitty standards."
> "You could say that. Nothing wrong with a change of scenery."
> "....."

OOC.

> "If you call this 'enjoyment' then you've got some pretty shitty standards."
> "You could say that. Nothing wrong with a change of scenery."
> "....."

You give a dry chuckle at the remark and respond with a weak joke about scenery. Nothing wrong with being positive.

Afterwards, you ask the man if he knows anything about the place. ]

[ You're tired and bored, as always. Though you're unsure of exactly why you're here you decide to wander around aimlessly. You don't care. You've got that bad-ass-rough-edge.

Oh! There's a white-haired boy at the end of the corridor.
> Don't say anything.
> Punch him in the motherfucking face.
> Say 'hello'.
> Ask him if his hair is naturally that color.

You figure the most practical thing to do would be to say 'hello'. It doesn't confine you to a conversation, but it doesn't necessarily avoid one either. ]

[ Sensing a kindred spirit down the hall, you turn towards the boy as he walks up and greets you.

> Don't say anything.
> Kick him in the motherfucking balls. Asshole.
> Smile and respond.
> Ask him if his hair grows over his eyes naturally, and what his thoughts are on trimming the bangs.

You catch yourself before saying anything that would suggest that you spend all day in the salon getting your nails painted and chatting it up with the gay hair stylists and cutters. Of course you don't.

> Don't say anything.
> Kick him in the motherfucking balls. Asshole.
> Smile and respond.
> Ask him if his hair grows over his eyes naturally, and what his thoughts are on trimming the bangs.

You smile warmly towards the boy, who seems to be about your age. You give him a nod of acknowledgment, as most silent protagonists are known to do. ]

[ You politely nod to the white-haired boy in return.

> Be an ass and walk away.
> Check him out.
> Ask if he has a boyfriend.
> Ask him of his name.

Your eyes trail up and down his body, and he is either one of two things. A boyish girl, or a girlish boy.

> Be an ass and walk away.
> Check him out.
> Ask if he has a boyfriend.
> Ask him of his name.

Before you ask, you decide to look the boy over once more just in case; you realize that no, this is not a butch girl, but a very effeminate man. You take this into consideration and remember that you are not Yukari, and balls do not excite you.

> Be an ass and walk away.
> Check him out.
> Ask if he has a boyfriend.
> Ask him of his name.

You kindly ask him his name while shoving your hands in your pockets, giving you that laid-back appearance. ]

[ For a brief moment, you feel yourself being undressed by your current companion's slitty Asian eyes.

> Back away awkwardly.
> Sweat profusely.
> Wink.
> Do an eyebrow raise.

Liquid does not seep out of your glands on command.

> Back away awkwardly.
> Sweat profusely.
> Wink.
> Do an eyebrow raise.

And you're one of those weirdos where when you try to wink it looks like you're having a stroke. You decide against it.

> Back away awkwardly.
> Sweat profusely.
> Wink.
> Do an eyebrow raise.

You raise your eyebrow and give the very laid-back looking boy a brief look of indignation. If anything, he's the lady in the relationship! But you push the thought aside, as thinking over it too much will only increase the internal storm and torment.

Eventually, you quickly bow your head and give the boy your name, giving you that polite, nice-boy appearance. You ask him his name and pause before starting to pile on the questions. ]
