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.

Hey, congratulations!

[ She gave him a smile and a pat on the back. ]

Hmm... "Preppy" normally does give off a dependable look, but considering the rest of your appearance, it might make you look a little bit older than you are. Honestly I think there's nothing wrong with that and that you can wear whatever you want! But it doesn't quite fit in with a "rugged" appearance, if that's what you're going for.

[azuhi]

I guess... I don't really know what I want.

[Being a teenager is awful.]

[love_the_smell]

[ Aww. Youth. She loved it! Nemuri clapped her hands together. ]

That's okay! That means you get to find out, and that's just as fun!

How about a shopping trip?

[azuhi]

A shopping trip? [He repeats, somewhat alarmed.] Y-You'd come with me, you mean?

[love_the_smell]

And why not? I'd like to see if the clothes suit you, after all.

[azuhi]

["Why not"? Maybe because she's an adult woman, and a stranger? But then again, Asahi isn't sure he wants to turn down the help. He figures he needs the advice.]

Well, okay. A-As long as it's not a bother to you. I don't want you to go out of your way..

I don't recall if they've introduced themselves to each other oops, doing it again for posterity

[love_the_smell]

This is all a part of youth, which is my favorite thing of all. It's not a bother at all!

Ah, by the way - you can call me Kayama. Or Kayama-sensei, if you'd prefer.

[ Going out shopping with him in her hero persona would guarantee no privacy. He might even get stalkers. ]

They haven't, I don't think lol

[azuhi]

K-Kayama-sensei... are you a teacher?

[That's the easiest part of all this to tackle.]

whoops! well better late than never!

[love_the_smell]

Indeed.

And you are?

[azuhi]

O-oh! Ah, Azumane Asahi! [He says, bowing just a bit to apologize for his disrespect.]

If I may, um... what do you teach?

[love_the_smell]

How nice to meet you, Azumane-kun.

I teach Modern Hero Art History at U.A. High School.

[azuhi]

U.A.? [Asahi had heard of it; everyone in Japan had.] Wait, so-- are you a pro-hero??

[love_the_smell]

Ah, yes, that's right.

[ She wasn't accustomed to people asking when she was out of costume. ]

[azuhi]

T-then you probably have much more important things to do than help me go shopping!

[love_the_smell]

Believe it or not, we do get days off.

[ Rare as they were. And basically, being a hero was all about doing good in this world - if that meant taking someone shopping to help them discover their style, Nemuri was 100% up for it. ]

But if you're shy...

[azuhi]

[Well, that really did get to the heart of the matter.]

Um... h-honestly.... a little, yeah..

[love_the_smell]

Well, we don't have to go shopping right now. You can always come by U.A. whenever you feel like paying a visit. But do say you're looking for me at the gate - there are cameras there and they'll pick up what you're saying. If you enter without a pass the security system will kick in.
