can't believe this username wasn't taken tbh

[spearcarrier]

Hello! I'm glad you decided to try playing me. My voice can be a little tricky, I agree, but don't get discouraged. Just think about how I'm different from your other characters, no matter how nice and... Canadian (is that what you called it?) I may seem. There are as many ways for a person to be kind as there are for them to be cruel, after all.

...Is there anything else for me to say here? Sorry, I'm not entirely sure how all of this works yet. But I think that's everything important.

T-this seems relevant to me, so I think I'll speak up. My mun also has a hard time with nice characters!

But the point isn't for us to be interesting, it's for us to be who we are. I think.

[spearcarrier]

I'm sorry to hear that, and I hope things will get easier for them soon. Do you think practicing with me would help?

Though... I think we can be interesting, too. We might not be as... flashy as some other characters, but we have our quirks -- things that make us who we are -- just like anyone else. And the longer we talk with others, the more those become apparent.

[giant_strides]

Yes! Diligent practice is the most surefire way to success. Natural talent is good too, but...!

I don't have an opinion formed on that. Flashy people? Of course in real life, interacting with a kind person is best, but if you think of it in terms of a story you want conflict.

[spearcarrier]

I suppose that's true. But we can still be needed to help resolve that conflict, or to form conflicts of our own.

[giant_strides]

It's easy to start a conflict, but cleaning it up is on our shoulders. Even if it sounds inglorious, figuring out practical solutions can be our strength. S-so, even if a good person is the norm, we should still be around. Don't you think?

[scraggly]

... "Canadian"? What's a Canadian?

[ clearly THAT is the most pressing matter being addressed in this post ]

[spearcarrier]

I... am not entirely sure. My mun doesn't seem to want to explain it, if it means she can giggle about it instead.

[scraggly]

Well if it has to do with you being nice, then I guess you're pretty Canadian after all!

[spearcarrier]

Thank you, but I think there must be something more to it, because otherwise there would be a lot of Canadians. At least, I'd like to hope there would be.

[launcher]

Does Canadian mean you sure can? [hold the smile hold it]



I really have no idea.

[spearcarrier]

[snrk] You've been hanging out with Yang again, haven't you?

But I don't really think so, either. It sounds might be a country, only I've never heard of it before, so I'm not sure why she seems to think I might be from there...

This is a competition I cannot lose, Pyrrha.

Huh. Well, we can just find one and ask them, right? Maybe look for people who are like you and challenge them for the Canadian Title.

[spearcarrier]

I haven't seen any of them so far. Maybe they're hiding?

[ruby_roses]

[Ruby is just going to get all up in your personal space for a second, Pyrrha, staring deep into your soul... before stepping back and giving a big grin.]

Nope. No matter how hard I try I can't imagine you of all people being cruel.

[spearcarrier]

[Now that she's on the opposite side of one of these.... man this is kinda awkward.]

Oh, no, of course I wouldn't-- I was just talking about how hard my mun finds it to play people who are kind, because... she says the voices run together too easily.

[ruby_roses]

[Ruby just shrugs and grins.]

You worry too much. Your voice is unique and your own. I can't see you blending in with anyone.

[Especially if vol. 1 was anything to go by...]

[spearcarrier]

I suppose that's true. But I think she worries a lot over these things, so it helps to talk it out, if I can.

Someone call professor killjoy?

[shining_beacon]

From what I understand, Canada is indeed a country in the world our muns inhabit, and one of the most prevailing stereotypes is an overabundance of politeness. For instance, someone writing "sorry" in a wall would be considered "Canadian graffiti."

[Sip.]

[spearcarrier]

Oh. That... doesn't seem quite as serious as I thought it might be.

[shining_beacon]

They also have a reputation for being frontiersmen, thriving in near arctic conditions, however their penchant for apologizing seems to be the most common trait to be commented on.

[Siiiiip.]

phonetagging fyi!

[spearcarrier]

I...I'm not sure how much arctic experience I have, so it's probably the latter...

[curse you vague backstory]

[monkeystowaway]

Those soda cans that you used as weapons would definitely say you were cruel. [He's just joking with her, of course. Soda cans opinions don't matter.]

Also hey, Pyrrha.

[spearcarrier]

Oh, I didn't clip you with a tab, did I? [She might be kidding right back. It's hard to tell.]

Hello again!

[monkeystowaway]

I think a tab might have hit my shoe. Anything else probably landed on Neptune.

[spearcarrier]

Things did get a little bit out of hand. I hope he didn't take it too badly...
