Things Your Character Is Tired of Hearing

[Aya]

"Tell 'em the story of how you got your legs!"

 

Sure, let me just relive the most horrifying and painful thing that's ever happened to me for your amusement.

YOURE WELCOME.

 

Everyone just wants to hear stories of your heroics, silly Roegadyn!

[Virella]

"Why did Ishgard not join the battle of Carteneau?"

 

Yap. So tired, oh so tired of hearing that.

[Melodia]

*states she is an open marriage*

 

"But aren't you married?"

 

"Did you get permission from your wife?"

 

 :frustrated:

[D'aito Kuji]

"Get out of Gridania you damn dirty cat!"

 

"You're not one of those poachers are you?"

 

"Are you a tribal or city Miqo'te?"

 

"Stand up" (I am usually already standing)

 

"Aren't you a little short for a marauder?"

 

"Want me to get that for you?"

 

"Do you want a booster seat?"

 

"Can I touch your tail?"

 

"Can I touch your ears?"

 

"Can I see your ax (sword, shield, etc)?"

 

"Do you purr?"

 

"How high can you jump?"

 

"I can tell by the way your tail looks that you are in a good (bad) mood."

 

"Do you have fangs?  I thought Miqo'te had fangs.

 

"Your ears look more like fox ears instead of cat ears."

 

"Is it true that you can't wear spectacles because Miqo'te are missing ears on the side of their head?"

 

"Is there a secret Miqo'te language that only Miqo'te understand?"

 

"Will you be here in the morning?"

 

"Are baby Miqo'te called kittens?"

 

"Can I be your Nuhn for the night?"

 

"I know some Miqo'te are sensitive about their mating practices but could you explain...?"

 

"If the breeding male is your sire, and you want to have children, does that mean...?"

[Ruran]

"Please, just call me [name]!" in response to Locke using 'miss', 'ma'am' or 'sir'.

 

Just let him be polite!

[Aaron]

"Aaron is emo"

[xelliexell]

"Host Club? Isn't that like a brothel?"

[Flashhelix]

"Why's your cat so fat?"

"What are you feeding him?"

"Sir, it keeps chewing on my foot, can you make it stop?"

"Oh dear gods, my leg!"

 

also

"How'd you lose the eye?"

Not because he doesn't like to talk about it but he can never remember which lie to tell about it

[ChewableMorphine]

"...So is like... y-your junk... is that made of metal too?"

 

[Dogberry]

"Tell 'em the story of how you got your legs!"

 

Sure, let me just relive the most horrifying and painful thing that's ever happened to me for your amusement.

YOURE WELCOME.

 

Everyone just wants to hear stories of your heroics, silly Roegadyn!

 

Getting your legs bitten off isn't a heroic story! He has plenty of better stories!

[Brynhilde]

"Is that your natural hair colour?"

 

Bryn: "Yes."

 

"What about your eyes?"

 

Bryn: "They're natural, too."

 

"What ab--"

 

Bryn: "Yes."

 

"You're very pale for a Highlander."

 

Bryn: " ... Thank you?"

 

"You're very reasonable for a 'Mhigan."

 

Bryn: *Resists acting upon fantasy of removing speaker's head, wearing it as a trophy on her belt for her foes to look upon and despair.* " ......... Thank you."

[Hyrist]

I love this thread. I'm going to use it as a guideline for all of the questions Hyrist asks people.

 

Using Bryn as an example.

 

Hyrist "Is it true...?"

 

Bryn: *exasperatedly* "Yes.."

 

Hyrist: "(So they ARE flotation devices...) Hey, then how do you ever drown?"

 

 

Hyrist tends to be the one that asks the annoying questions. For instance, a pair of friends in the Free Company he works for gets married and he had the gall to ask. "What do you get when you mix a Duskweight with a Midlander anyways?" With genuine curiosity and enthusiasm.

[Spethah]

"Careful around her, she might set you on fire." - She doesn't and actually hasn't, but that doesn't mean she hasn't thought about it. She tends to think about it to stop her getting angry.  

 

"She's probably blown herself up again." - Only happened once and not one person has let it down yet. 

 

"What do you mean you don't have real arms? They're right there." And then proceeds to point. If she answers that they're prostheses then it's "Oh, how did you lose them then?"

[Aya]

 

Getting your legs bitten off isn't a heroic story! He has plenty of better stories!

Losing your legs in a victory over a primal is ridiculously heroic!!  And he can use it to lead into other tales of heroism if he wanted!

[Maril]

"N'velhi stop picking on the new guys."

"Velhi stop picking your nose."

"N'velhi stop scratching your groin in public."

"N'velhi stop urinating against trees."

"I have no idea what you just said. That's too much of a Limsan accent."

"N'velhi stop setting off smoke bombs in peoples' houses."

"Why do you only use one of your blades? You're twice as strong with two."

[Anyone using a throwing knife]

"N'velhi stop fucking up so much."

"What was it like being a Nunh?"

"Velhi stop baring your fangs at people you don't know."

 

Velhi, stop throwing bottles at random girls in public.

Velhi, stop punching your co-workers.

Velhi, stop going to the sparring room without spotters to vent your frustration against people so you wont get in trouble, because it's getting you in trouble! -.-'

[Blue]

For Blue:

"Can't say I really remember you. There's just so many of you Miqo'tes..."

 

This has a little of OOC involved in the way it irritates me. It's just a comment that I don't find very natural and believable to be said. It'd be as if IRL someone told me they didn't remember me because there's just so many caucasians here in Italy. Who'd ever say that?

[Kellach Woods]

"...So is like... y-your junk... is that made of metal too?"

 

DO YOUR CIRCUITS GLEAM?

ARE YOU PERPETUAL?

DO YOU KEEP THE COUNTRY CLEAN?

 

YOU'RE PROTECTED - ELECTRIC JUNK.

When I worked in retail, there was this rather pleasant elderly couple who would always ask me if I had a sister that worked at the electronics store, about a mile south from my location. Out of curiosity one day I took a trip there myself, only to find that we shared virtually no facial similarities besides skin tone, and maybe eye shape....maybe.

 

It's a thing, it does happen.

 

I'm pretty sure we've all heard

 

"All ______ Look the same to me"

 

at least one point in our lifetime

[Renata Turner]

"Oh my god you're tiny!"

 

"Shortlander"

 

"Oh, I thought you were a midlander"

 

-cue one of her taller highlander friends using her head as an armrest-

 

One day she'll get her revenge. One day.

Eorla is a short short Highlander. I feel your pain. *fistbump*

[FloriaRaine]

Floria > "You seem nervous."

 

Snowel > "You should socialize more"

 

Yumei > "I think you have an alcohol problem"

 

Koi > "*sound of garleans breathing*"

 

Pyha "We're actually not hiring any more ..."

 

Tukiko "Do you dance in the nude?"

Hipster RPers.

[Mercurias]

M'sato: "Shut up and do something!"

 

Solomon: "Non-alcoholic."

 

Soren: "My problems are more important because x."

[Zelmanov]

Hearing "boy" When he is 28 and most people  RP as 18-24 year olds >_>

[Michikyou]

Mahana: "..Pardon?"

Dumb-butt 1: "Listen here, child."

Mahana: "..I'm thirty seven."

[Cliodhna Eoghan]

clio

seriously. if she doesn't know you very well or you just met, use her full first name. for a long time that version of her name was for only two people, its slowly growing to her friends using it and she's okay with that. but those that don't know her; she feels like they're taking a liberty they haven't been granted.

 

 

yeah sure it could be considered nitpicking; but let me ask ANYONE that has a name that can go either short or long and i'm betting most of them have a preference on which one they like (for one reason or another) and it gets under their skin if someone uses the less liked one (even if they don't make an outward big deal over it)

 

EDIT!!! to clarify! ooc i'm good with clio, luv it in fact. but ic she's a bit of a stubborn butt and that's one of her minor hangups ;p
