New screen name, new icons!

[materialgirl]

Okay, girl, listen. Not to say I'm not worth 240 icons - I am so with you on that one. And the whole "Clover makes the best faces" thing? Uh, yeah? Not like that was up for debate anywhere. There's a reason I'm totally one of the most photogenic ladies at Bev High.

Thing is, you and I have very... different ideas about what a best face actually looks like. I mean, seriously? Way more than half these shots are so unflattering! You actually expect me to flirt with a selection like this?!

[wallcrawler]

I'm with you on that one. Mine takes way too much pride in finding some of my more embarrassing ones.

And teasing about having "puppy dog eyes."

[materialgirl]

Ugh, for real. What is it with them trying to embarrass us?

Least you've got the puppy dog eyes to back you up. As cute and sweet as I look, no way I can pull off that innocent and vulnerable look in a lot of the shots she grabbed.

[wallcrawler]

I don't know. I think it's some kind of game of oneupmanship they play with each other.

...hey! I am not innocent and vulnerable!

[Y'know, it's not just a river in Egypt, Pete :|]

[materialgirl]

[Tsk!] Aw, but you already mentioned the puppy dog eyes! You've got the perfect baby face for them, too. You should totally play that up! Some girls are really into that.

[wallcrawler]

[All the lineface, Clover. All of it.]

[materialgirl]

See, that's just it! That's adorable!

[wallcrawler]

"Adorable" doesn't exactly help you survive high school.

Well, you it might. Me, it just results in public humiliation.

[materialgirl]

Ooh -- yeeeeah, I can kinda see what you're getting at now.

[wallcrawler]

Yeah.

[That and SHUT UP CLOVER HE IS TOTALLY NOT ADORABLE OKAY? yes he is]

So, what's your mun got in mind for you when you show up? General confusion and disorientation, or are you going to get attacked by the local wildlife?

[materialgirl]

Well, like... are you in any clubs? Sports? Maybe you could build up a reputation to kinda build up an anti-jerk barrier around you. Seriously, half the game is attitude.

[wallcrawler]

Not really. I intern over at ESU and take photos for the Daily Bugle, but that's pretty much it.

[That he can share, anyway.]

[materialgirl]

Oh, intern? Well, that's... sorry, but the whole "hardworking and studious" thing is kind of a turnoff for the more party-minded popular kids.

Oh, but hey, the photo thing is cool! That's better than any stuffy old retail job the jocks might get. The money and prestige that comes with having your name printed can totally up your place on the social ladder!

[wallcrawler]

I...don't actually keep most of that money. Most of it goes straight to bills to help Aunt May, so...

[across]

Ugh. I, Elgala, know exactly how you feel.

[materialgirl]

Oh, good. 'Cept I totally don't know whether to be bummed this problem is catching or happy that it's trendy.

[across]

[ But trendiness is the most important thing!! ]

I would not call it trendy... a blatant disregard for respecting others, more like.

[materialgirl]

[Oh, absolutely!]

Yeah, seems to be the in thing with these muns. Know a way I can get in on this fashion and turn it back on them? Because I'd really love to right now.

[across]

Being rude is tres passe.

If you want to fight back, you can always use that little 'random' button there to really confuse them. It helps with mine.

[materialgirl]

Hey, that's a great idea! Although a lot of the icons she gave me are angry ones. So hope you don't think I'm mad at you or something.

[across]

Not at all!

[ SISTERRRRS DOIN' IT FOR OURSELVES ]

[materialgirl]

VIVA LA REVOLUTION

[ocd_reaper]

At least your screen name isn't open mockery. [Points unhappily to his own.]

[materialgirl]

[Aww, it's her little pet project! Adorable goth babbu~]

Oh, wow, rude much? People have like, legit problems and here she is just ANNOUNCING it to the world.

[ocd_reaper]

[Nice to see you, too, Clover!]

I know it's pretty much on display for everyone to see, but...[Unhappy noise.]

[materialgirl]

[kdfdsfkl WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE, KID. Come here and let your new big sis adopt you.]

Aww, well, don't you worry! When I'm through with you people will be way more interested in your fabulous looks than any old obsessions you've got.

[ocd_reaper]

[It's a self-defense mechanism: Be so adorkable that a potential enemy will decide they want to snuggle him instead of wail on him.]

You really think you can make me symmetrical? [Hopeful smile.]

[materialgirl]

Oh, you're not just gonna be symmetrical, you're gonna be perfect boyfriend material for any girl you want!

[Because that's what really matters!]

[ocd_reaper]

...boyfriend? [Guess what never crossed his mind.]

[materialgirl]

Aww, you're still little! But trust me, you're gonna be way grateful down the line when you find that special someone and you're already hot enough to grab her attention.

[ocd_reaper]

I'm young, but I am a teenager like you. [Never mind that, in the grand scheme of things, he's practically a baby when you think about how long his kind can live.]

[adarkfallenstar]

Tell me about it.
My Mundane also thinks I make the best faces.

Sometimes this is true. Other times...we agree to disagree.

[materialgirl]

Well, uh, can't say I'd call that much of a face.

[adarkfallenstar]

Yes, we'll...it is better than some other options, I assure you.

[materialgirl]

It's a whole lot worse than some other options, too. You could have least stepped up from the whole Rocketeer vibe and added a little detail. Or, like, a smile.

[adarkfallenstar]

Maybe you should give me a reason to smile.

I might oblige you.

[materialgirl]

What, my pretty face isn't reason enough?

[adarkfallenstar]

Well, there isn't any denying it is pretty, I just need...motivation.

[materialgirl]

Well, what did you have in mind? I can be pretty motivating.

[adarkfallenstar]

I like your attitude.

I am sure you are capable of it.

I'm something of a hugger.

Care to indulge?

[materialgirl]

Yeeeeah, had some bad experiences with people in full battle armor getup before, so gonna have to be a big no on that one. How 'bout I blow you a kiss and we see where that goes?

[adarkfallenstar]

[Not what he was hoping for, but he'll play along. He was a little bored.]

Sure. Why not? Let's see where it goes.

[ledgerdomained]

"Best face"?

Actually I found it to be quite hideous.

[materialgirl]

Girl, if you dressed yourself like that, I'm surprised you can see at all.

[ledgerdomained]

You can hardly talk, Let me guess, You got your mother's hand me downs?

[She chuckles to herself] Oh well at least it's not some tacky red school sweater.

[materialgirl]

Least I can tell the difference between "vintage" and "the eighties threw up in my closet!"

Here's a hint: You're not vintage.
