✨ you only get one chance...

[liltuna]

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!

[He just nods. What Paul said about leadership is actually a pretty accurate explanation of why Seth's rulership had ended up being such an abhorrent mess. People accused Seth of being willfully evil, but much of what Horus has witnessed was just an extremely bad case of the wrong man at the wrong place.]

I'm a little jealous. Recently I've been thinking that I could have used a lesson like that as well. Maybe we can trade?

[Sometimes it is willful evil, but just as often it’s someone who isn’t ready to wield that kind of power over others or who’s used to unquestioned rule. A tyrant might be a perfectly capable general or politician in another world or time, if their skills were better applied. Paul swallows - he knows better than to believe good intentions couldn’t lead down that road, too.]

Maybe we can. I think we can learn a great deal from each other. And I’d like to take you up on that flying trip you offered.

[He notices Paul's unease and gives him a questioning look.]

Then it's a plan. I will take you flying and maybe I can organize something to eat for us too, and in return you share what you've learned with me.

[A firm nod. Paul noticed the questioning look, but he’ll explain later.]

I like the sound of that plan. In return, I’ll tell you everything you think of to ask or want to know. I think we could help one another. We’re both in a delicate position.

[Hrm. Interesting. Horus notes it, but decides not to press the matter.]

Everything? You might be busy for a couple of years in that case.

[Paul smiles, relaxing a bit. He has enough problems on his plate that he should enjoy the time off.]

I don't think I'd mind that, actually. I have questions, too.

Are you sure about that? A couple of years can be a long time for a human.
