☾ 002 - Bechdelblocked ☽

[spiritblocked]

[So Korra came home yesterday, checked in with some important people, and now today... today she wants details. What happened while she was gone? So Asami tells her a few things, and then gets to that whole Man Who Wants 50 Wives gossip.]

So I heard there was a guy who wanted to collect fifty wives. Can you believe that?

Jeez, is that really the kind of guys who are here?

I wonder if anyone of them are actually date-able.

You know what? 
[Korra shuffles around to get her journal. Grinning she opens it, and makes an entry. She's about to do something stupid when Asami stops her. Together they work on a girls-only filter.]

[Voice: Filtered to Girls]

Hey, Luceti! Tell me, what boys do you think are the most date-able? Most attractive? Come on, give me details!

[ooc: As with Ling and Richard's post feel free to name drop and threadjack. GO FORTH, GIRLIES. Also only what is after [Voice] is recorded on the journals.]

[Chizuru blinks curiously.]

Does that mean you're looking to date someone new?

[Has she given up on that other guy?]

[/just here no need to reply]

[powdersup]

[Sitting next to Korra... someone new? Hm. What could this be about? Yes. Glancing with eyebrow at the book.]

[ filtered ]

[herotypical]

[ oh. tricky. ]

Most attractive and most date-able aren't exactly mutually inclusive. I'm occasionally partial to a taken man.

[ already taken by her, of course. but the joy is in the twisty language. that and she and jack are on one of their annual bumpy roads, so she'd best speak carefully. ]

[ filtered ]

[hismasterpiece]

I am partial to taking men who take you later. Do you think about that often, slayer?

[godbent]

Someone really ought to ask out Minato already. It's gotten to the point where I actually feel bad for the guy.

[repudiate]

Despite how stupid this post is, I at least have to agree with this much. Hasn't he been here for ages already?

[wannabolt]

Dating's not really my thing, especially since there's kind of a lack of ponies around here, but if I had to pick... somebody who isn't all sleazy.

Feels like a lot of the guys here are all about treating girls like objects instead of people. At least, that's sure what that guy who wanted fifty wives sounded like.

[From Richard's explanation.]

But anyway, it'd have to be somepony cool. And somepony who could keep up with me!

[powdersup]

Has it been your experience where a lot of guys are like that- I haven't, but if you could tell m---e. [...thatvideo.]

Ponies? [...Yeah there's a lot to address here, clearly.]

[voice]

[alabastajewel]

It's not something I've really thought about before. There are a lot of nice people here, but...

[Dating's not very high on her list of priorities.]

[voice]

[spiritblocked]

Not even hypothetically? Or guys you think would be good for other people?

[filter]

[losthorn]

[fifty. wives. Hopes Zidane never sees this and gets ideas]

I think someone who is always supportive of you and encourages you is the best sort of person to be with.

[filter]

[spiritblocked]

Names! We're asking for names! Is there anyone who would be like that in Luceti!?

[voice]

[seakingbait]

Oh, um... I don't really know that much about dating. But they'd have to be really nice, and supporting. They have to like you for who you are!

[voice]

[spiritblocked]

That's not what we're asking for.

[voice]

[piealchemist]

Um ... Maybe Batbat? He seems like a nice guy, and he really likes girls, too.

[Never mind that that's a nickname, and she's not interested in Battler in that way. Rorona just figures this girl is looking for a boyfriend or something.]

[voice]

[spiritblocked]

Batbat?

[Written, Anonymously]

[shieldsup]

[There is ABSOLUTELY no way she can take this seriously. A bunch of teenagers talking about dateable boys, that's amusing as hell. She's feeling a little bit impish, and figures...maybe its time to have a little bit of fun.

Sue covers the camera, and then responds in writing, carefully disguising it with layers of false flourishes.]

You know, I find Wolverine to be a prime piece of Canadian beef. Have you seen those sideburns? Drives me wild, girls.

Oh, and you can't forget about Steve Rogers. He's got such an amazing body, and he's such a sweetheart. Those eyes too...they make me melt.

[written]

[noexit]

You mean Logan? He's kind of short, don't you think?

[rocketpunch]

Huh...a certain someone to avoid comes to mind, buuut...let's see...Yellow's pretty cute, but a bit young, you know? [She is so wrong on this one. She still thinks Yellow is a boy.] Claude's pretty cute, too. Oh, and Zack, too! Maaan, what a hunk, you know?

[moehealer]

[Yellow got a little curious and decided to poke at this entry a bit, only to find Precis' response and... w-what... SHOULD SHE.. say something..]

..Uhm... Precis...?

[Voice]

[healedbythelight]

[Oh no... Another entry filtered to girls, and this one is even more focused on romance. If Sophie sees this, she's definitely going to ask questions. Not to mention, the subject in general is making Cheria a little flustered.]

Ah... Are you sure we should be talking about things like this?

[Voice/Action]

[promisebythetree]

[Fortunately, Sophie hasn't been on her journal today to notice this.

Unfortunately, she walks into the room in time to catch Cheria's comment.]

Things like what, Cheria?

[voice]

[tenerezza]

That would depend on what each lady's individual preferences are. What one person finds appealing, another may detest. The important thing is to find someone that makes you happy, yes?

[ Susanne doesn't quite understand why there's all these discussions about romance, but it's fascinating to see what other women have to say on the subject. ]

[voice]

[powdersup]

I agree, actually. I mean... it's true, everyone has individual traits they like and when it comes down to it, the compatibility between two people's really a personal thing. But... I also wouldn't a suggestion or two. That's just me though, ma'am.

I don't know if anyone here is my type exactly [meaning emotionally-neglectful workaholic pieces of work], but I can't deny that some of the men here are very easy on the eyes. Just don't let them know that, 'cause it will go straight to their heads.

Let's see... Zack definitely has a lot going for him, especially in the arms department. Heisuke is pretty cute and good for a drink or ten, plus he's one of the Shinsengumi. Kratos is kind of quiet and grumpy, but if you look past that he has a great butt.

voice

[thestormishere]

Zack is taken.

[ Same as above, yes, though perhaps just a little testier this time. More than one person eyeing her boy? Yeah, it grates on her nerves a little. ]

[mythmaker]

Hmm... Akamaru-kun is really cute, isn't he? And Caius-kun is so friendly. Chien-kun is really friendly, too.

[She's missing the point. Oops. She's also just naming dogs.]

[noexit]

"Friendly", huh? Just don't let them get too friendly with you.

[voice]

[seleniahymn]

Would listing men even matter? Regardless of how attractive a man may be, you may dislike him anyway.

[voice]

[spiritblocked]

It never hurts to have a menu.

[allseeingdeath]

Hmm...

Depends on what you want, really.

[powdersup]

Personally, I'd settle for a nice date to go to that Night Club here with.

[Serious? Nah, she's not looking for serious right now]

[powdersup]

To throw in my yuans... some nice guys I've met who're easy on the eyes are Michael [slight name fubbing] and this fellow who ended up in our house during the experiment named Steve. [...Man these names. She shakes her head] Sadly, a lot of the other attractive guys I've met here are sort of from seventy years in the past and I can't help but be a little... well, it's strange.

[And there's Tahno.

But no1curr about Tahno-- actually]

Though someone else comes to mind - does anyone know how old a boy named Peter [But her pronunciation of the name might make it sound like "Peeta" if anyone wants to play with that] is? [First boy - first anyone - she spoke to on the journals. He was... sweet. But she never actually has seen him in person yet - but he was pretty nice. She should check up on him somehow]

[markofthebrave]

[hachikuji]

Attractive guys? Is this a trick question? There are none!

[Says the 11 year old who has zero interest in that sort of thing.]

[gleamed]

[See, Rapunzel has a pretty narrow understanding of dating. Or attractiveness. Basically she knows what falling in love is and that love stories are just wonderful, but it kind of ends there. So.

Her outlook may or may not be slightly skewed.]

Soooo...you want to know who is fall-in-love-with-able? Fall-in-love-able-with? Ooh--never mind. Well, I've met a lot of nice boys around here! And they aren't in love yet. I thiiiink.

[okay, so let's see.] Umm...there's Asch. He's a little grumpy, but very nice when you get down to it. Aang is a lot of fun, let's see...Oh--Cyborg is very nice! And so is Rockly. Beast, too! Even if he is, well, a beast...

[Actually, that reminds her.]

Yes! Beast is very VERY VERY date-able! He is the most fall-in-love-with-able of all, in fact! Everyone should want to fall in love with him! I mean--well, really only that one special person can, but--um! It's worth a try!

voice;

[touchofrogue]

[...it's almost impossible NOT to be gentle with this sunshine girl.]

Are ya sure Beast doesn't have someone special waitin' for him back home?

[Voice]

[bubblywishes]

[Oh, Norma is all over this. She grins the worst kind of grin the very moment she hears that question and settles down at her desk to read and respond. This is gonna be good.]

Well, if you want someone that's really, really hot, I'd suggest Ho--uh, I mean--Ace. He's kinda dumb, but he's not too bad. Real sweet when it counts, and he's great in the winter if you don't like the cold. Super cuddly! [And warm, but details.] What else...uhh... I guess he's not bad to look at, but I can't really judge on that. He's tall? Got a nice hat, too, but you can't have it, I called it.

Oh, then there's Curly! Uh...wait, I mean-- [What...was Curly's real name again? Started with an S, didn't it?] The chef at the restaurant! He's got a curly eyebrow that's kinda cute and really funny to look at, but oooooh man, his food's the best on the planet, no lie! And he dresses all super duper classy and he's tall, too, and he's really nice! Knows how to really treat a girl. [Despite Norma only knowing him when he cooks, so she's unaware of Sanji's doting attitude outside the cooking biz as well.] But seriously, ooooh....his cooking's sooooo good~! I've never tasted anything as tasty as the stuff this guy makes.

So, you can't have him either, he's on my list now.

[Who else does she know?] I'd say Turtledove, but he's taken--plus, he's old and kinda weird looking... Dragon Boy's not too bad! A little nerdy, but really sweet, and lots of fun to be around for the most part.

[Voice]

[markofthebrave]

[Oh, Sanji. Katara doesn't know how you'd feel about this, but... she finds it kind of hilarious.]

Sanji - that's the cook you were talking about, right? He is an amazing chef.

[video, same filter]

[revolutionarygirl]

[This is a really weird topic, though Wakaba would probably be eating it up if she were here.]

Well, I don't see why it really matters. If you fall in love, you fall in love, right?

[video]

[ribbonbon]

Well, yeah, but like, it helps to have a starting point, you know? It can be hard to meet a nice guy and if somebody can help you out, all the better, right?

[Says the girl who has zero experience.]

[Voice]

[thatsnotcute]

[...Fine, she'll bite. Because gossip is fun, especially if it's about available bachelors. Even if Perona's never really been interested in the guys she's met. Hell, maybe she'll get lucky and find someone that fits her own preferences through browsing the lists.]

Hmm...well, Fire Fist Ace is attractive, I suppose, but he's not very cute. And he's a little scary, too. [Only when you piss him off, Perona.] His freckles are a bit cute, I like those, but I'm not sure I like him very much. I don't think he'd like me, either...

Oh, and another one from the Grand Line that's notable is Mr. Cook! He's a perverted swine sometimes, but most other times I really, really like him! He'd make a good servant if he stayed as a denguin! He's very nice, and treats me well - the only one to do so from that heartless bunch - and his food's always so tasty! I've never been disappointed by it! Ah--...I should return his clothes I took. [lol, oops.] Oh, well.

Oh! And there there's a person a lot like Mr. Cook! He's much younger, I think, but he has the same flourish and energy and stupidity that Mr. Cook has when he approaches me. It's funny! Horohorohoro! Ehhh...and then I met another very nice boy on one of the drafts, but I forget his name.

Sabo-kun is very cute, but much too young. It's a shame, too, he's very polite, and kind, and simply adorable! If he were older, I'd keep him all to myself! He even dresses nice! [A top hat, tattered cravat, and a dark coat. *u* Perfection.]

[metalbends]

...Wait, seriously? You're feeding into this? Who cares if boys around here are date-able, anyway?

[Clearly her answer is NONE OF THEM.]

[spiritblocked]

It's just a little fun!

[kickingcatcher]

[... is this going to become a thing now? Talking about the attractive and date-worthy people on Luceti?

Oh well.] Didn't a lot of the girls just get mad for the boys doing something like this?

[voice]

[powdersup]

We're not exactly looking for fifty husbands though.

[voice - filtered]

[want_take_have]

From what I've been seeing, the pickings are pretty slim.

[as in, everyone seems old (she's looking at you, Buffy), or unwilling to go for a one night stand. ...She wasn't really the dating type] Place could use some livening up.

[voice - filtered]

[herotypical]

...The pickings used to be better.
