Passive Aggressive Criticism

THE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE CRITICISM MEME

• Comment with your character.
• Other people, cross-canon or canonmates, will reply with their character's biting observation.
• But really, it's none of their business, though.
• Keep it IC, keep it cute, and keep it fun.

[Irk.]

Nah, I just... trust in your... sense of... humor?

[He's not even fooling himself with that one.]

[afterlaborday]

[Just have a nice, looooong pause, before Rufus finally grins]

You're too easy.

[itsaliving]

[He's going to hold that awkward Business Smile throughout that entire loooong pause. The relief that comes with an overdone, full body sigh ends up looking more annoyed than relieved.]

Or maybe you're just that much of a hardass.

[afterlaborday]

Not really. I'd say I'm fairly lenient on you guys.

[itsaliving]

There's that distance, you know? I can't normally give you the same shit I'd give Elena or Rude.

[afterlaborday]

So what would you prefer? I still have a position of responsibility, so it isn't as if I can act a child.

[Though he totally does]

[itsaliving]

ShinRa ain't the empire it used to be. There ain't any good reason to be so "above" is there? We all know who the boss is. But if you're worried about actin' like a child...

[Rufus should know better than to trust or humor that grin that forms.]

[afterlaborday]

Just because you can present the face of a fool, doesn't mean I can Reno. I even wonder sometimes if it is just a face you put on.

[A raise of the brow.]

Whatever you are plotting, do remember I own a gun.

[itsaliving]

If that's how you respond to gettin' asked out for a drink then stay home drinking apple juice the rest of your life, Kiddo.

[afterlaborday]

You don't want to drink with me, Reno. I could drink you under the table, easy.

[itsaliving]

[After a few moments of stunned face silence, he doubles over laughing.]

There you go! Joking's a good first step to comin' down with the rest of us!

[afterlaborday]

Who said I was joking? [He smirks] I'm not a light-weight.
