Character Study: Embarrassment Prompt

[Timisc]

The responses from the annoyance prompts came out about as expected. Most people retaliated with anger and violence, so this time we'll try something different. These prompts are supposed to embarrass your character, something I hardly see in roleplay personally. The same method as before applies, simply write how your character would react to the following situations.

• 1st: You walk into a pole or a wall.
• 2nd: You take a spectacular fall on stage.
• 3rd: You were only pretending to know about something, and then somebody asks you detailed questions about it. The person happens to be an expert on the subject.

Vallesyn Elenajil

1st: Vaellsyn isn't usually one to get embarrassed, however, walking into a pole, lamp post, or something else may cause him to get a little rosy-cheeked depending on who saw the act occur. If it were to be complete strangers then he would simply brush it off and be on his way. If it were his friends or someone he was trying to woo then he would attempt to play it off with jokes about himself, hoping to keep the mood light and brush past the topic quickly. Overall he would be shook briefly and attempt to rid the topic of the conversation quickly.

2nd: Unlike a pole or wall, this would cause Vael to go wide eyed as he saw the amount of people who had just seen him take a spill. Assuming he was uninjured he would get back up in attempts to play it off and continue the show to hopefully take people's mind off of it. Afterwards, when the show was complete, he would seek to find his way home hastily.

3rd: Vaellsyn often pretends to know about things he has no clue about, and upon being caught freezes up slightly. Having to go into detail is easy for him though having spoken these lies to an expert would catch him off guard. His first move would be to convince them he was joking or simply testing them. If that failed he would hopefully brush past it by asking them to correct his mistakes then. Lastly, if the situation grew to new levels of awkward he would simply flee the scene, likely going to find a large mug of ale.

Darcie Miramonte:
1.) After shaking off her general confusion, Darcie would simply dust herself off and hurry about her business, praying to the Spirit no one noticed her rather abrupt assault upon the wall that could not fight back.
2.) Certainly a groan would escape her as she laid upon the stage or floor, wherever she had fallen and lay there until she decided to get up or someone helped her up.
3.) The woman would stare down the 'so-called' expert, before slowly backing away. Slowly backpedaling away, never breaking eye contact with the one who had spoken to her.

AZELGIO VALLETA

1st

If Azelgio ran into a pole, he wouldnt care to be honest. He would most likely get up and make a quick song or tune about it. Or use it as an excuse to meet someone who is laughing at him.

2nd

Once again, he would simply use this to his advantage.

3rd

Azelgio would most likely start stuttering and speaking in Dressolini cursing the day and trying to find a way out of it.


Kept them short and sweet, too lazy to do much more xD

Ryu Nanso

1st: Glare at the pole like it offended his mother, and walk away like nothing happened. He meant for that to happen in fact, obviously. Why would he do that in the first place, if not to show that pole who's boss? Yeah that's right pole, cry to mother pole.

2nd: Attempt to shoulder roll it and look like he meant to do that. If roll fails, just flop down and get right back up, brush self off and smile at the crowd for comedic value. Dontya know everyone loves to laugh?

3rd: "...What do I know about (X)? Well, I know plenty about (X)! Y'see, you put the thing there with the other thing, and then when the conditions are right, you hope that it works out and makes (Y). And then, the better part here, get this- mix (X) and (Y)... And there you got your nice, grade A (Z) in your face. Hah, betcha didn't know THAT, huh?"
(In other words, completely bull something that might maybe make sense)

Spoiler: Aaayyydddaaa

1. Ayda would get a little flustered, but would try to brush it off and act like its no big deal. If anyone asks, she will hastily reply that everyone does this on occasion, then try to change the subject and move away from the offending pole.

2. Ayda would become incredibly flustered, much more than if she walked into a pole. She will pick herself up, get whatever she had to do on stage done as fast as possible, then flee to some secluded corner and snap at anyone who tries to interact with her all while having a bright red face and look of mortification.

3. Ayda would not really be bothered by this. If anything, she would be glad that someone who actually knows what their talking about is there so she does not wind up making a bigger fool out of herself later. She would probably play along as well, nodding and acting like that was what she meant to say, she just forgot. If the person is being a jerk about it though, then they will get snapped at by a flustered Avanthar.

Spoiler: A Wild Theo

1. Theo would likely squint at the offending pole, then move past it and blame her crash on her eyesight. Even though she probably could see at least a blurry outline of the pole or was wearing her glasses, she would still blame it on her eyesight. If anyone tries to question it further, then she will try to change the subject or just keep blaming it on her eyesight. Throughout this whole ordeal the tips of her ears would likely be turing a bright shade of pink, a sure sign that she is embarrassed by the whole ordeal.

2. Theo would pick herself up, then turn around and stiffly march off stage while her face and ears turned a bright shade of pink. After getting off, she would try to avoid people and refuse to go back on. She would not care about what she was doing or how important it was, there is no way in the void she is going back out on that stage.

3. Theo would slowly turn pink and retreat into herself, only replying with "Mm" or some other noise. The Altalar would take any opportunity to leave, clearly mortified. She would not care if this was on opportunity to learn or better herself. She messed up, and could care less about that. She only wants to get out of what feels like an incredibly awkward situation and talk about something she actually knows about.
