bad rap

The things we become known for aren’t always what we’d like to be known for. Reputations are hard to run from. Sometimes they’re not even deserved. So here’s your chance to set the record straight. Clear up some misplaced assumptions, debunk any rumours about yourself and defy your stereotypes.

how to play:

Top level with something(s) your character is tired of people assuming about them, blaming them for, or pigeonholing them about, etc. Say it in person or over text.

Comment on any surprising, or not so surprising declarations.

There are levels of understanding that people do not consider when they make such an assumption.

[ourlittlenordicangel]

I... I don't... understand nothing on purpose. [ He really tries so hard. ]

[thehunterd]

I'm sure there are things you understand just fine. Do you work?

[ourlittlenordicangel]

[ Oh now he has to confess to being a pirate, which he happily does. ]

Oh yes! I am a pirate!

[thehunterd]

[There's worse ways to make a living where D comes from, so he seems unconcerned by the admission.]

And your job as a pirate?

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Polishing the canon balls and making the deck clean? And climbing up the rigging, that- that as well. [ He's like a deckhand. ]

[thehunterd]

[The first two are a bit hard to work with, but the third...]

You are an excellent climber, then, I would presume?

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Oh yes! Very fast. [ It's mostly due to him being pretty light, that he has to go up there. ]

[thehunterd]

Then that is a skill. Skills must be learned, and thus understood.

[ourlittlenordicangel]

S... so I am smart now?

[thehunterd]

In that area you are.
