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 some aspect of your character's reputation they might be trying to shake. Maybe it's something they're tired of people assuming about them, blaming them for, or pigeonholing them into, etc. Say it in person or over text.

Comment on any surprising, or not so surprising declarations.

You wanna go now, settle upfront? There's a lil' place I know that has onomichi ramen with pork back fat and flat noodles, it's pretty fucking boss.

Are you paying? I'll go if you're paying! It's time for ramen!

[rank1]

I'd be an asshole if I invited you out and then made you pay with your pocket money, kid. Let's go!

[ You know what, she's gonna clamber onto his back like an absolute lunatic. At least she's skinny, and pretty light? PIGGYBACK RIDE, LET'S DO THIS ]

Onwards!! To dinner! You're eating my vegetables, that's my third presidential mandate!

[Oof! Travis's spine snaps in two. No, just kidding, he's had a lifting routine for like twenty years, he takes her weight with little more than a grunt, looping his arms under her knees. It's the least he can do for a future president.]

What? I gotta draw the line there, you gotta eat your veggies. Not having enough fiber in your diet will fuck with you, you know.

[thefinalpower]

Tch. Blood Devils and Fiends are above base human needs like fiber.

[ Is this true, or is Power blatantly making shit up because she just doesn't like the taste of vegetables? It's the latter, it's definitely the latter. ]

But you gotta eat, right? So you might as well eat what puts your body in top fighting form.

[Is ramen part of healthy eating? Maybe not typically, but good for the soul is good for the body.]

[thefinalpower]

I'm already in top fighting form, and they're revolting. I don't know how you stand the taste of them!

[ Sorry dude, she's a brat at heart! ]

Look, the vegetables in ramen aren't usually there for taste, anyway. It's about texture. You don't love the crunch of a bean sprout between your teeth? Or scallions, that little crispy feeling when you bite down, but with a peppery freshness that something fried wouldn't have? The way the broth gets tangled in a wilted spinach leaf, leaves you with a pocket of goodness in your mouth? Menma, those fermented bamboo shoots? They hold onto the broth's umami taste like crazy!

Tell me to stop, Power! Tell me you aren't imagining all the ways veggies enhance the ramen.

[thefinalpower]

Traviiiiiis!

[ now she is just straight-up whining! ]

Stop! You're making it worse! Any more descriptions and I'll be sick! On your head!
