the Awkward Questions meme

 

Does your character have a deep, dark secret? An embarrassing past? A sensitive issue? Something they really don't want to talk about? Well, too bad. That thing is now written on their chest in the form of a bright red sticker, and it won't peel off no matter how hard they try. Uh oh!

Rules:

1. Post with your character. Write out what their sticker says - it can be something dark ("Ask me about my dead dad"), something gossipy ("Ask me about my crush on my friend"), something silly ("Ask me about my fear of clowns") or something vague ("Ask me about my secret identity.") No blank top levels, please!
2. Comment to other people asking about the thing.
3. Have fun and be awkward.

Elijah Kamski | Detroit: Become Human | M/M

[inuthings]

Elijah had fallen asleep inside the lab. Quite a common thing, he worked himself hard often and with the recent events regarding Androids he worked even harder. Falling asleep in odd places was as natural to him as breathing. He’d wake up, consume more coffee and then keep going. It reminded him of his teenage years, back in college where his diet consisted mainly of quick noodles and coffee. Though back then he could pull more long overnights without feeling like he was dragged through the mud and ran over by a tractor.

What wasn’t normal about this napping routine was waking up with a bright red and frankly very large sticker on his chest. Part of Elijah was quite certain that he was still asleep, the rational part of his brain informed him quickly that was impossible. He spun the lab chair around and reached his hand up, pulling at his sweatshirt and attempting to remove the sticker. Nothing. It was almost like it was a part of the sweatshirt itself. Logically, the next step would be to remove the sweatshirt, right? He had a T-Shirt on underneath it.

Grasping the ends of the thick sweater he pulled it off over his head and tossed it down onto his desk before looking to his chest. Somehow, some weird way, the sticker was still there. That defied every single law of physics that he knew and bothered him very deeply. He was partly afraid to take his T-Shirt off and find that stuck to his chest like a tattoo. Elijah didn’t have tattoo’s, the only way he’d ever get one was if Carl Manfred designed it. This? This was the last thing he’d ever want on his body. What did it even say anyway? He twisted the shirt around to try and get a look.

Ask me about RA9.

Well, in his brothers words, fuck that. Hopefully no one did.

Barrington Whelk | The Raven Cycle

[cadereagratia]

[His sticker reads: “Ask Me About the Kid I Murdered”.

[Don’t mind him trying to cover it up with his hands after it won’t peel off. This is what we would call a “highly unfavorable situation”. Yikes.]

[casperdisaster]

[Across the room - someone notices the sticker.

Noah - keeping full eye contact with Whelk - slowly brings his hand up to point to his own sticker.

"Ask Me About The Time I Got Murdered!"]

Ezra Bridger | Star Wars | OTA

[lothal]

[Ask me about being the last Jedi (and also using the dark side and being Maul's apprentice).]

Hajime Iwaizumi | Haikyuu!!

[bluecastleace]

[”Ask Me About Being in Love With My Best Friend”. He hasn’t noticed his name tag yet. This should be fun.]

[game_boi]

[ golden eyes glance between the other's name tag and his own identical one. ]

...

you too, huh?

Futaba Sakura • Persona 5 • ota

[necrocosmic]

[ She has a couple of these things on her and she fucking hates it!! She’s desperately trying to peel off the first, but the others she seems to care less about. Just that first one though... it absolutely cannot be suffered to live:

• Ask me about my traumatic childhood.
• Ask me about my crush on my friend(s?).
• Ask me about my secret identity.

Yeah, it’s no wonder that first one has got to go. ]

[gotbrains]

Ooh, secret identity, huh? Go on, let's hear it.

Seimei Aoyagi | Loveless | OTA

[sacrificinghearts]

[What can he do? He is covered in the damn things.

- Ask me about my problematic relationship with my little brother.
- Ask me why I brutalized the only person who has ever understood me.
- Ask me why I faked my death.

Tread carefully now.]

[measuringdistance]

[Chikai raises an eyebrow, taking in the various options with an obviously amused smirk.]

Alright, I'll bite. What's up with your little bro?

peter grey (petrelli) | heroes x pathology

[vivicidal]

Ask me about...
...the after-hours game of 'guess the cause of death'
...the explosion I rigged that killed my friends (myself included)
...the serial killings that I probably take too much satisfaction from


Yeah, no... [ He'll look entirely calm about it as he tries to rip the sticker off, but on the inside, he's anything but calm. ]

[welladjustedwhitly]

[Ainsley’s sticker says Ask me about the murder I got away with. She tried removing it to no avail, and rather than panic that some in the room might be reacting with (and with much less concerning secrets cared to the world), she looks mildly annoyed at best. It’s unfortunate, but...

Her eyes land on a guy. Cute. A little older, maybe Malcolm’s age. One corner of her mouth lifts in— is it a smile? A smirk? Hard to say...]

I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours?

Hatsuharu Sohma | Fruits Basket | ota

[udderchaos]

[> Ask me about my anger issues.
> Ask me about my family curse.
> Ask me about first childhood crush.

He doesn't even seem like he notices the stickers. He's busy zoning out.]

[pivotpoint]

Family curse?

Lucifer Morningstar | Lucifer

[lightsthesun]

[Lucifer's sticker's straightforward enough - Ask me about Hell - and he looks down at where it's fixed to his lapel with no small amount of amusement.] Alright, go for it. Bet it won't be anything I haven't heard a million times before but if you're up for a challenge...

[At his apparent indifference - it's supposed to make him feel awkward, isn't it? - another sticker appears on the other side of his jacket. Ask me why I hate myself.] Now, wait a minute --

[msadler]

Well, I really feel like I need to go for the second one.

I already have a good idea what hell is like.

Ayame Sohma | Fruits Basket | ota

[snakebusiness]

[The stickers says 'Ask me about my touch starvation!' and 'Ask me about my keeper!'. Ayame is just crossing his arms in denial.]

[chocorune]

[Have a preteen watching you with big green eyes.]

Do you want a hug or something?

Kaname Chidori | Full Metal Panic!

[pivotpoint]

[Ask Me About...
1. How I can change reality
2. How my mom died
3. The time I suplexed a mercenary
4. When I was almost assassinated
5. Piloted a super-submarine with my brain
6. The time I viscerally shredded a man's face with a cheese grater]

[She's focused on trying to tear off or obscure the first two.]

4

[meiliportroute]

Oh wow! How incompetent was the poor guy who was sent to assassinate you, to have failed?

diluc ragnvindr | genshin impact | ota

[wineries]

[Seriously considering burning the stickers off his clothing. They read:

Ask me about my family
Ask me about my secret identity
Ask me about my sex life]

[commences]

( komaeda hums, looking over the choices of topics at his disposal. they all read very... well... interesting, but it wouldn't be komaeda if he just brushed them off and not showed a little curiosity. besides, why else would these questions be out in the open? the other must be excited to get them off his chest.. literally. )

If you want, you can tell me about your sex life. You must be a very open person to reveal such information... or your partner just isn't any good! ( scratch all that, his mouth parts into an 'o' shape as he finally starts to understand their dilemma. )

... Woah, wait, do you need advice..?

Tohru Adachi | Persona 4 | OTA

[gotbrains]

[ Don't mind him trying to blend in with the scenery. There's nobody here and definitely not someone with weird stickers on their jacket.

"Ask me why the world is shit."
"Ask me about TVs."
"Ask me about the only family I had."

Ugh. If the stupid things won't come off maybe he can find a marker... ]

[pivotpoint]

[The second one is the first she sees, and before the others become visible to her Kaname speaks up.]

What about TVs?

Cornelia li Britannia | Code Geass

[knightmare_princess]

[ "ASK ME ABOUT
- My dead sister!
- My violent nationalism!"

Or. Don't do those. Please? ]

rose wilson | titans | ota

[plagued]

[ There's a sticky note over her black eye-patch. Scribbled on the note reads: Ask me about my missing eye. ]

[ambassadorofboom]

Uh... [He raises an eyebrow but here they are, both missing their left eye.]

Weird, but alright, I'll bite. How'd ya lose yours?

Susie (The Legion) | Dead By Daylight | ota

[rulerstake]

[ And here's one small, pink-haired teenager in an oversized hoodie, skirt, and ripped up black tights. She's wearing a mask and so many little tags, it's almost hard to decide where to start. For what it's worth though, she's not trying to remove them or hide them. She's just standing there, her entire body language indicating she's resigned to this.

Ask me about The Entity.
Ask me about The Legion.
Ask me about the night I killed someone.
Ask me about what happened that one Lunar New Year.
Ask me about the other killers.
Ask me about the survivors.

By the way, she is holding a pretty gnarly-looking weapon so approach at your own discretion. ]

[allegedprisoner]

[ Some scruffy looking prisoner with an electrician's toolbelt is staring at the girl in horror. ]

Dear god, not another one!

[ His own stickers seem to be mainly about "his mentor" and an "invention", but what they say get pushed into the very back of his mind as it starts screaming "THAT IS A HUNTER, USE EXTREME CAUTION."

Really, the only reason he isn't running is the terminology on her stickers. He doesn't know about any entity, but judging by context alone the Hunters are being called Killers for some reason... ]

Wait... [ He's afraid to get too much closer to the girl, but he really must ask. ] Did you... Are you familiar with a place called... Erm... Ocular Mansion, I think?

Ruby Rose | RWBY | OTA (Vol. 8 spoilers)

[silver_eyes_rose]

[OOOh, boy. This will be fun because of the stickers and the questions they ask:

Ask me about my dead mom
Ask me about my hidden angst
Ask me about my regrets

YEAAAAAAAAAAH]

[tomes_n_tricks]

[Looking at each of the stickers, The tactician decided to go with option B! Offering a smile they asked:]

Hidden Angst? That seems a bit unlikely! Care to elaborate?

Ushijima Wakatoshi | HQ!! | OTA

[leftwinger]

[There's a list.

- Ask me about my subconscious desire to succeed.
- Ask me about my parents' divorce.
- Ask me about my first sexual experience. It involves a duck blanket and a small futon.]

gonna live in your inbox, don't mind me.

[game_boi]

[ ... ]

please, what was the significance of the duck blanket, and did it play a large role?

Sokka | Avatar: The Last Airbender

[justasimpleguy]

[ "Ask me about my first girlfriend, the Moon."

...he hasn't noticed, yet. ]

[dumpset]

[ Kageyama, unsurprisingly, looks very confused by what he's reading. ]

... How did you go on dates with the moon?

Hades | Warriors Orochi 4

[deathsaster]

[there's all the obvious options and then there's...

Ask me about Cerberus!]

o hi

[callada]

[Somehow managing to drink and smoke at the same time, Rosinante teeters over. Drinking is 100% the only way he can cope with being here and he's had plenty. He's got his own sticker but he's trying to keep his coat pulled snug up around his shoulders to hide it. Sometimes there's a hint of a phrase visible past feathers other than the "ask me about" lead in - his megalo- what?

He adjusts his coat and tips the glass at Hades, spilling some in the attempt to gesture casually.]

Cerberus, huh? A friend? A gang?

Jade | Dragon Quest XI

[xenlon]

[Well, this is silly, but Jade is taking it in stride.

For now.

Go ahead and...

1. Ask her about being a princess in self-imposed exile.
2. Ask her about being turned into a demon for a little while.
3. Ask her about weaponized puff-puffs.]

3

[holeyjudgment]

A puff-puff sounds very cozy. How do you weaponize that?

Luca Balsa | Identity V | OTA

[allegedprisoner]

[ Luca is terribly confused right now. He was sure he was busy working on something before being unceremoniously dumped in a place he definitely doesn't recognize. He doesn't see anyone he knows here, but that sure is a lot of red signs stuck to everyone reading "Ask me about this!" or "Ask me about that..."

... Something dawns on him. He glances down and moves the chain out of the way to find similar stickers stuck on his own shirt:

ASK ME ABOUT MY MENTOR!
ASK ME WHAT I WAS IN PRISON FOR!
ASK ME ABOUT MY DAD!
ASK ME HOW MY INVENTION'S GOING!

Luca squeaks in terror and hastily tries to pull them off. Alas, not even pulling off his glove to use his bare hands will work, and trying to use a screwdriver on them doesn't do a thing!

Then again, he's wearing a prison shirt and a chain on his neck. No amount of sticker removal is going to save him from having to explain his attire... If he can even remember the explanations to all of these... ]

Oh God, no... [ Nothing will save him. He's good as dead. ]

[bluffer]

[ Belial is there to witness him use every device available to tear the stickers off of his chest to no avail. He blinks, a little amused, lips curled into a cheshire-like grin as he decides to ask: ]

What's going on with your daddy?

[ Sorry that he's... gotta ask. Like this. ]

Ordinary Person/Swindler | Akudama Drive | ota

[ippanjin]

[Pull as she might, the sticker reading "Ask me about my criminal record." won't peel away from the front of her dress. A second label stuck on her left sock, just under her knee, says "Ask me why I'm called Swindler." For now, she doesn't notice it.]

I was going to pay for the takoyaki, okay!?



(ooc: Please opt in for spoilers if you wish to cover things past episode 2.)

[bowfriend]

[He just. Squints at her.]

... that's an interesting crime.

chloe decker | lucifer

[detectivemiracle]

[ Chloe finds herself with two labels. Neither of which she's particularly happy about.

1. Ask me about Hot Tub High School.
2. Ask me about the time I almost betrayed and killed the man I love. ]

Uh, can we not?

Reki Kyan | Sk8 the Infinity

[skatecitement]

[ Wow, who snuck these stickers on him when he wasn't looking?? Reki was crouched down, trying to pull these dumb stickers off, not realizing they were also stuck to his back.

*Ask me about my Skateboarding obsession.
*Ask me about my plummeting confidence.
*Ask me about Snow since I'm just the guy seen next to him.
*Ask me about Adam.

Uuugh! Why won't these shitty things come off, was this Shadow's doing?! ]
