✨ you only get one chance...



THE FIRST IMPRESSION MEME


 


You only get once chance to put your best foot forward. Screw that up, and you'll be forever seared in someone's mind as the person who had spinach in their teeth, or worse!


HOW TO PLAY
1. Drop a top-level!

2. If you have previous CR with someone, you'll have to let them know what your first-impression of them was.

If this is your first time meeting, you'll be compelled to share what kind of vibe they give off. It's okay to be honest! Are they gross? Do they seem approachable? Do you find them incredibly hot? 

3. Find out if your first impression was correct! Maybe that strange loner actually has a heart of gold? You'll never know unless you talk to them!

Impressive, but there's certainly more here than meets the eye initially. Something about your demeanor suggests busyness and a constant flow of motion, and a delight that belies uncertainty.

Whoa, that's a lot! Do you fancy yourself as some kind of psychic?

[Those gold eyes of his, and the strange pupils... They almost remind her of— nah, it's different now that she looks a little closer.]

[ He smiled, and there was an almost-chuckle in his chest. ]

No, though such is often the case with youth, especially those in foreign regalia.

[ He, too, notices a frightening familiarity, but alas. His lips are sealed on the matter. ]

Youth? How old are you, like... thirty?

[Kiana should know better. After all she has a friend and mentor that looks roughly her age, but has lived for many millennia. 50k years is quite the gap!]

You seem strong, but mysterious. Though I know better than to judge a book by its cover.

—Are you saying I'm probably weak and boring?

[Probably the worst-faith interpretation of what he said, but Kiana's not actually offended. Sometimes she wishes she were boring. Too much shit has happened to be envious of a Hero's Glamor.]

Well, that's one way to parse what I said, I suppose..

[ yeesh!! ]

I only meant that I could be wrong.

[As if a light switch was flicked on, Kiana's pessimism seems to dry right up. She even takes an open palm and claps it at his back between the shoulder blades.]

Hey, don't worry! I'm not actually upset. Are those real, by the way?

[The ears. The enormous ears. They look... fluffy.]

[ oof, the clap on his back is a surprise!! tighnari tenses a little, but otherwise doesn't complain. yet. also she sure did change her tune quickly.. ]

Real? You mean my ears?

[ he only knows what she's talking about because he's gotten this before.. ]

Of course they're real.

That's really cool. Do they ever become inconvenient, or is it all pros like super hearing and taking advantage of people who think you're too cute?

[Kiana allows him some space after that briefly bombastic greeting. It seems she's truly interested to know more, however. A small smile on her lips and curiosity in her expression.

At least she hasn't asked to touch them yet.]

[ yeah she's already a head above most people in that regard.. ]

There are advantages and disadvantages. My hearing is very keen, which is nice sometimes, less so other times. I can't say I've ever taken advantage of them being cute..

Why not? You easily could. People with "cute" features get away with it all the time. It isn't bad. Other people enjoy it.

[After all she's been both "the cute object" and "the one doing things for someone cute". Though typically more the latter than the former.]
