️‍🔥 HOT OR NOT: DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE NEO TOKYO'S HOTTEST OUTSIDER? ️‍🔥


HOW IT WORKS:

1. Post a photo: Upload some photos, any photos, preferably ones that showcase your unique style. Keep it safe for work, folks!

2. Get rated & rate others: Are they hot, hot, hot (10)? Or are they not, not, not (1)? Share your thoughts using anything from a sliding scale of 1-10, to ✅ or ❎s, to whatever else you can think of. Agree? Disagree? Tell us why!

what the HELL

[ wow maybe this wasn't intentional at all ]

@hottie

[transmit]

It could always be worse, Miss Gebura. It could always be worse. Positive thinking!

[ it could be round 3 of sexy bunny, ]

[bemist]

[ don't you jinx it ]

I'm positively thinking that I want to punch you right now

[transmit]

[ IGNORING ]

These are all flattering shots of you, aren't they?

[ is he including the last one? yes ]

[bemist]

I don't know. I don't really think about how I look

[ Like. Ever. ]

[transmit]

Objectively, they're great.

[bemist]

It'd be better if I could just delete this whole thing...

[ ugh ]

I don't need a bunch of people I hardly know telling me I'm hot or not

[transmit]

Have you considered muting it?
Though, with how often these things glitch… I wonder how long that'll last.

[ still, a reprieve's a reprieve?? ]

[bemist]

Probably not long. This implant feels like it's got it out for me specifically.

@crow

[laevateinns]

A mistake?

[bemist]

There's no way in hell I'd post something like this willingly

[laevateinns]

I believe you, actually.

[ she sure hadn’t seemed the sort. ]

Regardless, I’m sure you’ll get many comments.

[bemist]

Which is the last thing I want.
Seriously, how do you delete this?

[laevateinns]

[ oh no… if you can delete it that means he can’t pretend he posted his on accident and leave it up anymore.

dilemma. ]

Let me know if you find out. Still, it seems unlikely to be possible.

We’ll just have to deal with it.

[bemist]

[ You could just acknowledge doing it yourself, you weirdo. ]

Shit, of course
I guess I'll try to ignore it for now

[laevateinns]

[ you're asking a lot, here, from said weirdo. ]

If it bothers you that much, by all means.

Thankfully most of your responses seem to be positive.

[bemist]

I don't really care about what people think about me
Especially how I look

[laevateinns]

I gathered that much.

Still, if it's nice things then it's not so bad, is it? Better than hearing criticisms or rude remarks, at least.

[bemist]

If it was criticism and they're not willing to say it to my face
It's as good as air to me
I wouldn't put much stock into what people say, anyway

[laevateinns]

[ he's once again reminded that she lives on a completely different wavelength than him. ]

Even if you don't care what people have to say, there's nothing wrong with accepting a compliment every now and then.

Although if you're worried there are ulterior motives... I understand that, as well.

[bemist]

[ If she's worried-- ]

Aren't there always ulterior motives?

[laevateinns]

A good point, really.

I suppose people compliment for some sort of ulterior motive... even if it's just feeling better about themselves, at best.

[bemist]

What, to make themselves come off as a nice person?

[laevateinns]

Exactly.

Or, in some cases, to get something out of you. For people who do care what others think, sometimes compliments and praise can be an affective form of manipulation.

[ ha... ha... ]

[bemist]

Effective manipulation, huh? Believe me, I'm aware. There aren't too many people in the City where I'm from who are kind without wanting something from it.
