Ask me about my memes
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 on top of a bright red sticker, and the sticker won't peel off no matter what. Uh oh!
Rules:
- Post with your character. Write out what their sticker says - it can be something dark ("Ask me about how many people I've killed"), 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!
- Comment to other people asking about the thing.
- Have fun and be awkward.

Metaphor crap for sure.
[Another chuckle as she says that.]
I’m twenty years old and no one wants me to do anything other than be a pretty princess. I want to do more, be able to help but I’m always shoved aside and kept away from anything real. Purely meant to look pretty and marry someone they decide they wish to be King someday.

So where's the hiding come in? Is there actually some deep dark secret here or did you just decide that you're too good for the stuff your family needs from you?
[He knows he's trying to provoke her even as he's saying it. Things like duty and responsibility don't always work the same way out here as they did back home, so she's not necessarily in the wrong for whatever it is she doesn't want to be a part of. Still, feels good to pretend he doesn't know any of that, at least long enough to get a little of his own back.]

More like I actually want to know what the world is really like. I want to be able to actually make decisions, even mistakes and learn from them. Any time I try and do anything outside of their picture I just get locked in my room until they need to parade me around again.

So what's there to lie about? If you're not going to get the stuff you want either way, why not just stop playing along at all?

Fear.
If I don’t at least pretend to do what they want, to be what they want they’ll likely kill me. At least alive I can try and do some good.

Shit. That sucks. And being a princess and all I bet there's a lot of security, right? Makes it that much harder to slip out and fake your death or something. What kind of stuff do they want you to do?

Smile, look pretty, tell everyone that everything is perfect. Marry the man of their choosing and pretend to be madly in love. Then bear an heir, a spare or two, and however many daughters they decide they want to marry off for political means.

[It's a neutral sound. Not feeling right in the role you grew up into's something he hears more often out here outside the Qun, but every time he does hear it he gets more certain it's not something he's ever going to really understand, not deep down. Still, it would be a dick move to say so. His bad moods, the times they do get turned toward other people, always run out fast, and feeling wrong in your role isn't the kind of thing he would really want to poke at anyway.]
Not your thing, I guess? What would you be doing, then? If you could do anything.

Some of it might be nice, if I had a say in who my partner would be.
I’d like to be able to actually help my people. Try and make things better. I just don’t know the best way to go about it. The most I am able to do right now is occasionally volunteer at charity events because that helps promote the image they want.
