"Hey! Welcome to Starberry! Have you been in before?" She's excited to see someone maybe seemingly interested in checking Starberry out. "I'm Ismael. I'm the owner and founder of Starberry. What can I do for you?"

use ask meme replies as starters. if starter calls stress you out, encourage your followers to send memes instead! that way you can pick and choose which meme suits you best, searching for the little sentence prompt in your inbox that most inspires you in the moment. at the same time, not every ask meme reply needs to be continued. sometimes they make better one-shots and drabbles, and that's okay! as long as you and your writing partners are having fun creating and telling stories together, that's all that matters!

#rp psa #roleplay psa #rpc psa #rpc help #in my Wise Old Opinion as an rpc veteran from 2012 #using ask memes as starters is SO much easier #than putting out a sc and having to come up with new scenarios each time #memes help guide the story #use them!!! #BUT ALSO!!! MY GOD!!! #if someone just wants to use them as drabbles? let them #let these ask meme replies exist separately IF YOU WANT #maybe they don't nEED to be continued #maybe they're just a little glimpse into your characters' dynamics #AND THAT'S OKAY #don't guilt people for not replying to ask meme replies #like let them do what they want :) thank YOU

instead of supporting disney's latest cash grab can i suggest watching The 7D instead? it's a spinoff series that came out 9 years ago that disney cancelled prematurely during season 2. it's hilarious and well animated and some of the writers worked on Animaniacs so that's how you KNOW its good.

#u guys are gonna have to sit back for this cuz the 7d was my first tumblr fandom #snow white and the seven dwarfs #the 7d #when will the live action reboots stop bro come on #its actually amazing how disney finds ways to screw the 7d over tbh #like leaving them out of the anniversary tribute for starters. dont even get me started #thankful it exists online in good quality so we dont have to depend on disney+ ever deciding to acknowledge the series #actually for some reason its on the japanese disney+ but not american

@mistralxsoul continued from here!

Today was, decidedly, a little bit strange. And even that felt like it was putting it mildly, Guy thought.

His travels had brought him to a city called Zaphias for the time being. It was a much needed break, considering everything he'd been helping to achieve back home. Finally putting a stop of Van's plans and concluding everything at the Absorption Gate hadn't been an easy task, after all. Even without that, he'd been kept plenty busy in Grand Chokmah in the immediate aftermath. Whether that be with walking Emperor Peony's rappigs or settling into his own life, it had been a busy time for Guy. Fortunately, the Emperor had understood his need for a break. Much the same as his friends would have, he imagined.

So far, the stay had been pleasant! Zaphis itself was a nice enough city, or at least was presenting itself to be. In some ways it reminded him of Baticul. That likely had to do with the way the city was structured, Guy concluded. Nobility higher up in the city and the rest of the citizenry further down. In turn, the similarities had reminded him of Luke.

Oh, Luke... he hoped his friend was doing okay now that he had a chance to try and figure out what to do with his life. Knowing his friend, though, that wouldn't be an easy task. So, Guy shook his head and decided to go about his day. Luke wouldn't want Guy to dwell on wondering what he was doing with himself, Guy decided.

Ever since he'd arrived in the city, though, people he had taken the time to talk to had kept mistaking him for someone else. Someone called Flynn, he'd gathered pretty quickly. First it had been some of the knights he'd seen, then just regular citizens. Each calling him that name. One particular man who'd had a dog with him had greeted Guy like they were old friends before realizing the mistake. He hadn't really understood it, but politely cleared up the confusion before the man and his dog were on their way again. Apparently the two had had somewhere they needed to be outside the city.

Still. To repeatedly get mistaken for someone? Strange...

"Whoever this 'Flynn' is must be pretty well liked," Guy concluded as he continued to walk. It was still bizarre, but he could brush it off. Still, as he started to make his way down one particular street, his mind wandered. People kept mistaking him for someone who, he imagined, must have looked remarkably similar to him. Back home, given everything that had happened before he'd decided to take his trip, there would have been an easy explanation. But surely that couldn't be the case here... right?

All too suddenly, Guy became aware of what sounded like a scuffle. The familiar sounds of someone in armor was among the mix. Guy figured it was one of the knights he'd run into earlier that day, and from the sound of it he thought maybe they had it handled. He could help, but as he started to turn his head to see just what was happening, it happened. A yelp first, then a sudden weight crashing into him.

The knight in question, a blond man with his hair styled in an oddly familiar way, had gotten knocked right into Guy. The additional weight of his armor added to the force to the collision made it, in a word, memorable. Guy's own yelp mingled with the knight's as he fell to the ground with the armored man on top of him, and for a few long moments he took in the pain. Not the worst thing he'd ever endured, Guy knew, but it still hadn't been pleasant to get knocked into.

Fortunately, the knight's apology reached him as he found himself being helped to sit up.

"Don't worry about it," Guy told him. "I'm just as much to blame since I wasn't paying attention." Then, he got a good look at the knight in question.

For a heartbeat, Guy was stunned into silence. It almost was like looking in a mirror when he really took in Flynn's features. From the way Flynn's hair was styled to his eye color, they looked eerily similar.

A replica...?

No... no, that couldn't be the case, Guy reasoned with himself. The more he looked, the more he noticed differences. Flynn seemed a little more youthful in his facial structure. His eyes were a slightly different shade of blue. His voice, too, Guy realized as he was asked if he was okay, was different.

Van hadn't replicated him. He couldn't have. Guy knew there was a possibility of everyone having a sort of twin in the world somewhere, but he never thought he'd actually be seeing living proof of that.

"Oh, yeah," Guy finally answered, giving his head a small shake. "I'm okay. A little sore, but I think I can manage. This is hardly the worst thing that could've happened." A light laugh punctuated the thought. Getting knocked over and having a man in armor fall on top of him certainly wasn't as bad as the pain he'd endured when the curse slot seal had been at its worst, after all.

He looked past Flynn for just a moment, noting the fallen dagger and the nick on Flynn's cheek.

"What about the guy you were after? Is it really all right to let him get away?" If he could, he wanted to help. It was the least Guy could do after what had just happened.

#ic #mistralxsoul #There in a Flash (Guy) #Worlds Converging #This is perfect! :D Thank you so much for the starter! #Guy instantly just like 'Did Van replicate me and I didn't realize??' #But also like 'Wait no... definitely not' #Flynn is such a good man omg #Also do not feel obligated to match my length on this! I got carried away setting up what Guy was doing xD

⚜@lostusagis liked for a starter!

Nara's hand instinctively goes to her sword, fingers carefully wrapping around the scabbard, thumb poised to flick the blade from it's sheath in a moment's notice.

"You would be wise not to pick a fight with me." She couldn't get a proper reading on this man, but that only makes her more wary.

*trying not to sound desperate* what's your system for not struggling with social relations?

people like it when they're given subtle compliments and when you let them talk about their own achievements, so, as long as you can get someone to think you're genuinely interested in their life they should come out of it with a good opinion of you + also people love complaining together so if you can try and bring up something you both dislike enough to have a fun rant on

#my formula if I have to talk to a peer is open with a compliment or a similarly nice sentiment then ask a question related to it #and once they answer then make up one thing you have in common with their answer: that usually manages to be a decent conversation starter #like 'your handwriting looks nice' 'thanks!' 'do you write in cursive because it's faster?' 'no i just like the style more' 'ah me too!' et #<-very oversimplified but. yeah. that's my typical attempt to talk to someone that I don't know or that is an acquaintance #when i'm /required/ to do so of course. #I try to keep it at a 60/40 ratio of talking about them and about me also. It's an exchange of information so you do also have to share #+ try to gauge someone's sense of humor by the first few interactions so you can apply it when you talk to them as best you can #and try to come off as friendly and in a good mood even when you're really really not. That of course also helps #[.asks] #anonymous #oh and also try to remember what people tell you so the next time you can bring it up! That also helps your reputation.

@spirits-of-nature16 liked (x) for guest muse Margo!

"...And I think. That's. Everything!"

The girl grunted as she tried to force the last few items into her already-bulging backpack. Maybe she was over-prepared, the brunette was aware; but all the same. For her very first official AVL mission? Even if she was just tagging along with Gru and Lucy, even if her role was just to find a safe corner and provide support for them by hacking into the security system of the lair they were infiltrating?

Margo wanted to make sure that she had all she needed.

Finally forcing the zip to close over the last few supplies she'd just purchased, the bespectacled girl let out a breath of satisfaction, slung the heavy bag over her shoulder--

And almost clobbered the girl who was exiting the shop behind her with it. Margo's hand flew to her mouth with a gasp.

"Oh, I'm so sorry--! Are you alright?"

As much as she was sure that Gru, in this position, would have just laughed and moved on... Margo didn't have it in herself not to care about the fellow kid who she'd almost knocked down.

"The sea creatures in my world weren't entirely different from the ones here." He says in thought. He raises a finger to his chin and raises his eyes upward to the sky. "Though, I guess when I look back on some of them, I do remember spotting a fish with a halo and some wings. I believe there are such things as fish called angel fish, but I think ours were literal? If I'm not mistaken, they are a rare sight."

@eusyram

it's a gorgeous day- so beautiful it's almost picturesque. the blue sky stretches along the horizon endlessly, puffy, fluffy white clouds blowing along by a gentle, cooling breeze. the sun is warm but not overbearing, and at the boardwalk, the salty tang of the ocean permeates the air comfortably. it's almost like the day was out of a painting, or a novel, or-

at least, it was.

the air sours almost on a dime as a golden door materializes on the boardwalk's edge, and when it opens, a man steps out and under the frame. the air suddenly has a horrible, death-like chill, and the smiling, happy people that populated the area suddenly begin to disperse at the vile air the man begins to exude.

maybe it was just convenient, but a cloud drifts over the sun, blotting out the area in a gloomy gray. the strange man, tall and languid, tugs at a few ragged stitches stapled into his skin. he looks around as if confused as to why everyone was moving away from him, but doesn't seem to especially mind.

then he drops, arms over the wooden railing, and stares moodily out into the water.

@magnifiico liked this post for a starter!

((these two are so excited to get at each other asfdjlsd our hearts could never have been ready T~T))

"Mi rey?" Amaya's voice, soft as it was, still echoed in the king's cavernous office, joined by the muted thud of the ornate door as she closed it behind her. Immediately, her gaze found Magnifico ever-poised at his work station across the room; and immediately, the stern expression she'd worn on her way up the stairs softened with affection. A sigh fluttered down to her shoes: mostly fond, but with a whisper of exasperation in its final notes.

"I understand why you have such...rigorous qualifications for your apprentice," she began as she crossed the room, "but it really creates quite a spectacle when the candidates you've rejected are seen fleeing the castle in tears."

Admittedly, the childishly dramatic crocodile-tears of the young lady whom Amaya had just escorted off the castle grounds were proof of being an ill fit for the position. Still, a delicate grimace sullied the curve of the queen's lips by the time she stood beside her king.

"What happened this time?" she asked, gently expectant.

Ugh. This sucks.

When she'd first heard about the trip, Neptune had thought maybe it wouldn't be so bad. A visit to a city full of museums... well, it's not really her thing, but she can think of places that'd be a lot worse, so. Take what you can get, right?

But through some stroke of bad luck, both Venus and Jupiter ended up sick. So now here she is, stuck on her own with a bunch of shitty teachers, boring classmates, and Jesus somehow shoehorned into every conversation. Great.

At the very least, having a moment to herself like this is a blessing. ...She hopes Venus and Jupiter are doing okay. It's their own fault for working so hard lately, but. Still.

Neptune had decided to sit down for a drink, but the cafe she's found herself in is surprisingly busy. Suppressing the urge to sigh, and holding back a cough tickling her throat, she eventually chooses a random table with only one other occupant in the back.

"Hey. Mind if I sit here?"

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRINK A VAMPIRE'S BLOOD?

" now, why are you wondering about drinking vampire's blood, carissima? do you have a secret lover, or are you just curious? " warm brown darkens as lips curve into a teasing smirk. cyrillo's closer than before, and you swear you can feel heat emanating from him despite knowing vampires are cold to the touch. he leans away as soft laughter escapes him. " don't worry, i am only poking fun. there are many rumors surrounding my kind, so i understand you might have questions. "

" drinking a vampire's blood will do nothing to you but create a connection between you and the vampire you drank from. our blood is magical to some extent, after all. ah, you look confused -- by connection, i mean you'll feel what they feel, and they'll feel what you feel. it can be rather... intense, to say the least. " cyrillo grins. you wonder if he might be implying something.

but it can't turn you into a vampire?

the mage hums. " well, not right away. "

what do you mean by that?

" exactly what i said, carissima. " cyrillo's tone remains light, yet his gaze is heavier as you meet his eyes. " drinking a little here and there won't turn you into a vampire, but drink enough, and it's possible. ' enough ' is quite a lot, really, if you want to be sure the change will happen. as i said, our blood is magical, and if you want that magic to take, you need a lot of it before you die. "

before i die?

he smiles. it lacks its playful tilt from before. " we are undead, remember? corpses brought back to life, lost souls returned to their flesh. " a small pause. " despite my own experience, i understand why some choose this life, but i hope it is a choice that is never made lightly. "

#shakes cyrillo like a rag doll!! #i was 100% trying to write this like a conversation you might have with a companion character in a game bc i have a #big time hyperfixation ASDF #and isn't it just fun!! to learn lore through a lil convo!! i love writing it tbh!! #maybe i'll do a more textbook explanation but i mean that's the gist of what happens if you drink vampire blood :' ) #anyway if you read these long blurbs i'm kissing you so sweetly thank you <3 #OH BTW if y'all wanna use this as an open starter/interaction idea pls feel free to! #that wasn't my original intention with this but if it inspires you i encourage you to roll with it! #headcanons | dórverold
