️‍🔥 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!

done i'm sorry

[peoplewatch]

[ First, make a good impression as he tries to understand the situation. Best not to comment on that last picture right away. ]

10/10! You look very beautiful in those photos. [ but screaming at the last one ]

[axethrows]

Thanks! No idea where that last one came from, I didn't include it myself.
Folks don't normally see that look from me, but hey the more you know~

[Girl, this isn't helping your case (even if you don't know the case you now got going on right now).]

[peoplewatch]

[ the more he knows ...... ]

The implant seems to be adding things without our consent. Is that a doctored photo, however ...?

[axethrows]

Oh, no it's real. I dunno how it got captured in picture~

[that doesn't explain anything and still doesn't help your case....]

[peoplewatch]

[ What's with LILITH and bringing in all these monsters?? They're supposed to be fighting monsters instead??? Good thing she can't see the face he's making. ]

I see ... So you're not entirely human?

[axethrows]

I'm 100% human! Unless there is something I don't know about myself, but still mostly normal human! Walk, talk, and bleed like one!

[peoplewatch]

[ Any monster can claim that though!! ]

I'm quite curious now. Is that the result of a spell?

[axethrows]

Something like that! Like you kind of used it too much and it backfires on you in a way~ I'm usually very careful so it doesn't happen a lot, so don't worry about it!

[peoplewatch]

That sounds a bit like dark magic.

But it isn't permanent, is it?

[axethrows]

Nope! It's temporary!
My co-workers and I kind of deal with the same type of 'magic' so we know when things go wrong or someone starts to feel off. We help them out so they don't lose themselves or if we are too late, we avoid their attacks or fight them back until they go back to normal.
Yeah, we got hurt and it may sound like trouble, but these skills do help us in the long run.

[peoplewatch]

[ The one downside of these mind letters is that without non-verbal cues, he can't tell whether or not someone is lying. It doesn't sound like she is, anyway. A person who is lying would not be sounding this casual about it. ]

The ability to temporarily turn into a monster ... I know someone who would enjoy that far too much.

[axethrows]

If I had control over the transformation, I could make good use out of it and like it better, but nah. We have no control over it. It's like we become a puppet.
You got a friend who likes that? I guess monster fans do exist once you think about it...

[Like how Don back home is a huge nerd on Fixers... If she runs into people who are way into Abnormalities, she will be surprised and not surprised at the same time.]

[peoplewatch]

[ he and laios are not friends unfortunately ... ]

His name is Laios. You might see him around the Everlight dorms.

... Wouldn't that be rather terrifying, though? Losing control over yourself?

[axethrows]

[wdym not friends..... but her focus goes to the later half of the message.]

I won't deny that it is terrifying, but stuff still happens even when you try to be careful. Part of life!

Back home, I didn't have to go through it alone. [yet.] There's risks and all of that, but coming back to your senses and having someone there for you... It's a relief.

[And if she ever becomes unrecoverable, she knows the others would put her down with their joint efforts.]

[peoplewatch]

I see ... [ there's a pause as he decides whether to ask this or not. ]

How does it feel ... to be in that form?

[axethrows]

Mmm. Kind of hard to say.
Like your mind is blank yet your body keeps moving.
I did say it's like being a puppet.

I don't really like losing control of myself, but not being 'awake' during the process kind of makes you think about the feeling.
