THE HELP DESK MEME


Have you tried shoving it up your arse?

No man is an island. Sometimes, you really, really need help on something that none of your friends can help with. In times like this, it's time to turn to a help line! Sadly, just because you call a HELP line doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get a helpful PERSON. Likewise, whether you realize it or not, you may be subjecting the person on the other end of the line to some amazingly stupid lines of inquiry.

Of course, it could all just go normally. But when has THAT ever made for interesting RP?

Standard meme rules here:

1. Post your upper level. Note what type of help line it is in your title, NOT your canon/character name.
2. People who tag in are calling into your help line.
3. Hilarity. Maybe.

[Being a human or having relatives who are is always a problem when talking about those things.

...Well.]

And you have no solid ideas how to control them, either? [Not that anyone has come up with something that worked, so far, but...]

[questionablewit]

You're looking at the problem the wrong way, as though all humans have the same interests and priorities as each other. Arguments that appeal to some aren't going to convince others, it's not like you're talking to a group of fish and trying to persuade them all to swim in the same direction. What race are you, exactly?

[...that's fishy.]

Why?

[questionablewit]

Because if you're an elf or fish then you'll need to go about it differently than if you're, say, a dragon.

[finalizes]

...Neither.

[He deeply distrusts this now and figures that it is safer to hang up on her. Don't trust a human. Sorry, Hawke.]

aww

[Another hang-up. People are always telling Hawke her phone skills need work, but usually it's when she's being sarcastic, not when she's actually trying to find a solution.

Oh well, nothing she can do. She hopes he doesn't try to exterminate all humans. She'd have to try and stop that, and it'd be a shame, because she was sympathetic to the problem. A lot of humans were annoying and thoughtless and destroyed everything in their path.

She'll remember his voice, though. Just in case.]
