SHIVER ME TINDERS

Something’s been glitching with everyone’s shellphones this month…! They suddenly fizzle and go black and when they reboot it appears there’s been some unwanted activity happening on them on your behalf.

A network post has appeared and with it, fake social media profiles have popped up too. You didn’t post to it, the shellphones have automatically done that for you. They’ve posted one picture, your age and three random facts about you. Whether or not those facts are true or not is … sketchy at best.

If you’re curious, go scrolling through the network post and see what it says about others! Comment around and ask them about their facts! And maybe make a new friend?

- Oocly, you will post your character to the network post with a picture, name and age and three random facts.
- The facts don't have to be true and can be entirely made up and be random or wild. Or they can be the realist facts about your character. It's up to you.
- Have your character react icly any way you want!
- Post and tag around!
- This is not necessarily a romance/date finding post, we just thought it was funny. Make friends and cr!

THANCRED WATERS (42) PALADIN ☆ Actual spy ☆ Fake bard ☆ Redefining the dad bod

That is quite the list of occupations.

[rathertalented]

And an inaccurate one. I am most certainly not a "fake" bard.

[phoenixdominant]

And what of the rest? Are you a spy... and a father as well?

[rathertalented]

A father?

[He supposes he is, in a very strange way.]

Not by blood, at any rate, but in my life, I have never known blood to form a bond that cannot be sundered. Hells, like as not, the bonds of blood breed more emnity than fraternity.

How does one become a 'fake' bard?

[rathertalented]

[He crosses his arms, looking offended.]

They don't. This is clearly a lie.

[esquim]

[ she raises her hands ]

Then you are a spy and a bard in your world? Or is spy also a lie?

[rathertalented]

I did, at one time, use my training as a bard as cover for intelligence gathering for the good of the realm. We were, after all, at war with an invading nation of conquerors who would see our way of life stifled for their own.

[He shrugs.]

Do I still employ those skills on occasion for the greater good? Of course. Would you not?

[deepstar]

Now how can someone be a fake bard? Unless, of course, you can't sing or play an instrument.

un: deepstar

[rathertalented]

This is assuming it is accurate I'm a fake, which it is not. I'm partial to poetry.

[deepstar]

So if I were to ask you to recite some right now -

Would you?

[rathertalented]

Admittedly, it has been some time since I've recited on command, and I've only just arrived upon this star. I would humbly beg your understanding.

[He is totally a fake bard.]

[beshackled]

...What is a dad bod to begin with?

Video; un: rathertalented

[rathertalented]

I really haven't any idea.

[He says with a flippant shrug.]

[beshackled]

Whoever or whatever made this came up with a strange list for you.

But, as I have been told, some things are innacurate for several people.

What do you actually do?

[rathertalented]

True.

Until recently, I was a member of an organization which tasked itself with the safekeeping of our star. Since ending the threat of the Final Days, we've been mostly retired.

[A pause.]

You mentioned when we met at the springs you knew of the Sundering. Do you know what led to it?

un: midifications

[midifications]

Knew I wasn't wrong when I said you were resting your weary bones. You weren't just warming them!!!

un: rathertalented

[rathertalented]

Ah, yes. Will the young criticizing their elders ever lose it's appeal? A true mystery of the cosmos, that.

[midifications]

Absolutely not. But it's not like I'm saying it's a BAD thing, you're just old. It's something you have to do.

[There's a very sage nod on her end, not that Thancred can see it.]

[rathertalented]

I'll have you know I require no such things. I keep myself fit and hale, thank you very much.

[ Oh hello. ]

So, what definition of 'dad bod' have you landed on so far?

text | un: rathertalented

[rathertalented]

While I assume it's some form of slang, none have given an explanation, unless you might provide one?

[weenwoon]

I do know "dad" is a colloquial equivalent of "father".

[ He's very helpful! ]

[rathertalented]

So it is, though it's news such a figure has a certain body type.
