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.

Exactly. That really sums the feeling up: people are watching as if waiting for me to slip up and reveal some secret awfulness, like everything else is just a front I'm putting up. And it's kind of ridiculous if you sit down and think about that for a second, because people who are bad don't really put up airs of goodness most of the time. That's not usually a thing.

Well, that's depressing. Are you alright? [Concern mode is go.]

[Her smile is reassuring, or she tries to make it reassuring.]

I'm fine. Most of the assholes I meet aren't anyone I have to deal with ever again.
