✨ 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!

[The Swede is bizarrely wholesome. A wonderful juxtaposition to the stereotypical pirate. People with a certain light to them, a certain purity intrigue Marik greatly.

He shakes his head, offering a reassuring smile.]

I wouldn't tease you about that. I only asked because if we're giving you a makeover, there may be men who... only want you for your body. Not your heart. Does that make sense?

[ourlittlenordicangel]

W... why... why do they want that? [ Probably because his body looks like this and if his face even gets halfway passable he will end up in a brothel. Poor thing is like an extreme butterface and he must never learn. ]

Are they going to want to eat it, like the cannibals? Or sell my organs? [ He doesn't like this. ]

[thetombkeeper]

[He is going to have to teach him the birds and the bees. Gods, no. Why. Why is he doing this to himself.

Because of the challenge. Damn his pride.]

No, Swede. They're not going to want to eat you.

[Not in that sense.

Marik clears his throat.]

... They'll want you for sex.

[ourlittlenordicangel]

[ People have sex on the ship, people go to brothels but whenever they do, Swede always stays on the ship. He just... he is kept out of all of that for everyone's sake. But he should learn, at least about consent. ]

...ja... what is that?

[thetombkeeper]

[Marik steeples his fingers and bites his lip. A sixteen year old should not be explaining this to a... he's not exactly sure how old the Swede is.

But he doubts anyone else will explain it. Better he do it and save the guy from learning about it from someone unsavory. Also consent. Consent is important, even to a sheltered, repressed, evil teen like him.

He takes a deep breath and slowly exhales.]

When you see a really handsome guy, how does it make you feel?

[ourlittlenordicangel]

[ Probably like... 35-40ish?? Who knows. Too old to not know this. But- but- he should learn.... ja? It is better someone at least tells him before he talks to men who might be interested in him. ]

Shy...

[thetombkeeper]

[Nothing like trying to describe arousal to a cinnamon roll. Banish him to the Shadow Realm now please.]

And warm? Kind of tingly?

[ourlittlenordicangel]

...no... just shy... and... blushing... [ He probably doesn't experience that, Marik. ]

[thetombkeeper]

[Probably a good thing.]

Hmm...

[... Oh. His shipmates!]

Have you seen when your shipmates start kissing and doing other strange things to other people?
