✨ 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!

You know what, it's probably best you left it on the ship. [ The thought of Swede running about with a knife on him is alarming. I mean... would he just put it in his pocket? It'd be a disaster all around. ]

You can't hide behind your hair, but this table should keep us safe for the time being. [ He says it to reassure Swede, they're completely visible but ssh it's fine. This is fuckery anyway, they're not in any real danger. ]

I'll make sure they won't turn you into a frog, mate. I'll use my charm. Maybe that'll work? [ Not likely. ]

[ The Swede contently sits down, swinging his legs over the side and smiling toothily. The table is safe! ] Oooh... you know so many things about witches, Frenchie...

Ja, that works! Then you can have a witch girlfriend... [ Swede no that is what Frenchie DIDN'T want! No Swede! ]

I will not hide behind my hair... I will stop twirling my hair so much... [ It is time to be more confident, even faced with witches. ]

I don't know that much about them actually. Just bits of information I've gathered over the years. [ Which is just piratey superstitious nonsense, but it's not like he's met an actual witch to tell him any different. ]

Never really thought of that. But what if she gets angry with me and decides to turn me into a frog?

That's good mate, that's progress. Just... here... [ He reaches forward and sort of messily pushes the parts of Swede's hair that are sticking out from the bandana behind the bandana, because isn't that what it's for? To keep the hair out of his face? ] There. Now you won't be tempted to try and hide behind it. [ Solid logic. ]

Then... you have to make sure she likes you... [ Swede has no idea how to make a witch like you, Frenchie! He knows nothing about ladies or witches.

For some reason, that bandana is not used for that because all his hair is always in his face. When Frenchie tucks all his hair behind his ears and the bandana, he suddenly has to face the world in it's entirety. Now, Swede's entire face is visible, including freckles on his cheeks and some very worried little eyebrows. ]

I don't know about this.... [ But there is proper eye contact now, that's a plus. He's looking directly at Frenchie! Look at him go. ]
