there's seven things i hate about you....

[hypercompetent]

shut up i totally didn't quote miley cyrus THE TEN THINGS TO TEN PEOPLE MEME
1. post a comment detailing 10 things your character has to say to 10 people! Or more, or less. Do whatever number you think is necessary!

2. don't designate who each number is for! they can be as specific or vague as you want, but no names, just letters/numbers.

3. Other characters can respond (hey is number 3 me? You jerk!), or wonder about the other numbers (you got into a fight with your number 9? who was that?) et cetera, et cetera.

4. Let the heartfelt feelings/awkward miscommunication/passive aggressive bitchiness begin!!

I can't tell whether I should be claiming 4 or 6.

[snakesroarquietly]

Both would apply but I was thinking of someone else when I wrote 6.

[burning_love]

Well that's a better opinion than I was expecting.

[snakesroarquietly]

If it makes you feel better, your helpfulness is disquieting.

[burning_love]

Well, I live to serve the public. And you count as the public, I guess.

[snakesroarquietly]

Thank you...?

[burning_love]

No thanks needed, it's just my job.

[snakesroarquietly]

You have a very odd job.

[burning_love]

Well I'm also a waiter but they're both really the same job. Information, money, fire and cooking are all involved in both. Not to mention the helping people bit.

[snakesroarquietly]

So you do a house elf's work.

[burning_love]

...Guessing you mean some kind of wizard slave. Uh, no. I fight criminals, rescue citizens and make sure everyone's safe. Or, um, would. If I'd actually graduated from hero school.

[snakesroarquietly]

That makes you sound like a Gryffindor.

But you cook and wait on people as well, which is house elf work.

[burning_love]

It's also waiter work, haven't you ever been to a restaurant?

[snakesroarquietly]

There is no need to patronize me, Muggle.

[burning_love]

Nor any need to patronize me, ~wizard~.

I get that your world wouldn't need superpowers if everyone's got magic, but you'll just have to assume my job is cool and a lot of people would literally jump into a vat of toxic waste to have it.

[snakesroarquietly]

Of course people would want magic. It makes us superior.

[burning_love]

...Not with that attitude, it doesn't.

[snakesroarquietly]

Wizarding superiority is a fact.

[burning_love]

So is wizarding snobbery, apparently.

[snakesroarquietly]

You sound like my brother.

[burning_love]

I think I can live with that, he's pretty cool.

[snakesroarquietly]

I suppose there is no accounting for taste.

[burning_love]

Hey, at least you've got a brother. A good brother, who helps people. Your family is something you'll never lose, no matter what happens to you or them. Whatever fight you guys have going is fine, but you'd better figure out when to stop. Because when you lose everything else you got so used to - your house elves and whatever else - he's gonna be there to drag you out of the ashes. And some people don't have the privilege of that.

[snakesroarquietly]

I know. I lost it as well.

[burning_love]

Aw come on, don't start that defeatist attitude with me. You can't do crap about anything if you go in with a loser's spirit.
