Cheer up!: the meme.

[jigglypuffpuff]

The Cheer Up Meme!

Your character is having a bad day (or week, or month, or year, or life). They're in a funk and it's obvious to anyone that comes across them. What's there to do? Why, cheer them up, of course! 

Does your character welcome it? Do they know this strange benefactor trying to make them feel better? Will their efforts work? No matter:

It's time to turn that frown upside down. 

How this works:
→ Leave a comment with the usual information in the subject line: character name, fandom. Any preferences, including what you don't want, should be included as well. For added effect, use their woobie/sadclown/depressed/h+c icons.
→ Congratulations, your character is being cheered up by whoever tags them!
→ Tag around. Please please tag around.
→ Feel free to roll RNG (1-9) if you cannot come up with "methods" of your own. 
→ Have fun, and be excellent to each other!

• 1 — A hug! (You looked like you could use one.)
• 2 — Compliments! (A boost in your self-esteem is a boost for...justice?)
• 3 — Food! (I'll go get the cheesecake.)
• 4 — Joke! (Haven't you heard of the healing power of laughter?)
• 5 — Adventure! (Get your shoes and jacket, we're getting out of here.)
• 6 — Puppies/kitties/foxes/bunnies/etc.! (Because who can turn down an animal?)
• 7 — Drinks! (Nothing like a beer to wash down that sorrow.)
• 8 — Games! (Shut up and jump rope.)
• 9 — Fuck da police. (In other words, the random/whatever option.)

Do you like rice balls? [ yup, plain old rice balls. though even then she still manages to mess them up sometimes--making them too big, too small, putting too much or not enough seasoning inside... ]

[judgejuryexecutioner]

Rice balls are perfectly adequate. [ And he's not very picky, so something that's hard to make actively offensive is a good idea. ]

[spiritua]

Great! I'll get the ingredients ready and we can make some in a few minutes, okay? [ it's not quite smiling-tier yet, but at least he doesn't look quite as grouchy as before. ]

[judgejuryexecutioner]

[ Better than he was, but getting a smile might be difficult. ]

I'll clean up for now, then, and put this all away.

[spiritua]

[ colette trots off to gather ingredients and get the rice steaming from a boiling pot over a fire, also gathering the dried seaweed they had in stock and seasonings.

several minutes later the rice is ready and she brings it in, along with the other ingredients and places them on a clean part of the table. rolling her sleeves up, she flashes a smile. ]

Everything's ready! I think I have enough to make ten.

[ entirely too much for two people, but they can always share with their friends later? ]

[judgejuryexecutioner]

[ Sharing is caring. ]

...that is quite a lot, but we can save the rest.

[spiritua]

[ colette nods, and begins to gather up a large clump of rice fit for her small hands and starts molding it. ]

I brought a few kinds of seasoning, so use whichever ones you like the best.

[judgejuryexecutioner]

[ Richter joins her, shaping it carefully, a thoughtful look on his face. ]

Do you make these often?

[spiritua]

We all used to make them a lot on our first journey. [ she says this with a similar thoughtful expression, finishing her first rice ball. ] Even the professor could make some good ones!

[judgejuryexecutioner]

Then I'm sure these will turn out just fine. [ ...no offense. ]

[spiritua]

[ none taken! ] Look, it's Noische! [ she holds up a rice ball that she attempted to mold into the head of the protozoan, not that it really is all that accurate. Operation: Cheer Up Richter is a go. ]

[judgejuryexecutioner]

[ BLINK BLINK. ]

Is... that what it's supposed to be?

[spiritua]

Uh oh, does it not look like it? [ her brows purse forward as she lowers her hands and looks at the rice ball from all sides. ]
