[Event: meet and greet meme!]

[behindthemask]

Welcome to Ghibli Hills Dressing Room Event Meme

In this post: meet new friends. (If you need a code to make a character journal, try this post.)

> Post with a character-- you might want to introduce them by name, canon, and AU if applicable in your comment title.
> Tag around! Tag canonmates, tag people from canons you've never heard of, tag original characters. Do what you want and have fun.
> If you're having a hard time thinking of hooks, feel free to use one of these:

1. The sign you cannot remove. Your character has somehow acquired a mysterious sign that cannot be removed by any means-- until the post is over, or until you get tired of it. Suggestions include, "Will sell soul for [a new laptop]", "Ask me about [that one time in band camp]", "Needs [a hug]."

2. The helper. A robot has come up to you and very politely insisted that you help other people! Whether you have the best disposition for it or the worst, you've been chosen to go around making sure people are happy and comfortable and well-fed… and have possible been given a box of ultra-bland nutritional bars to assist in this task.

3. The clubhouse. Everyone wants to belong, right? There are some tables set up with brochures advertising clubs with bizarre titles like "The Died Multiple Times Club" and the "Experimented On As A Child Club" alongside the more mundane "Handicrafts Club," etc. Which one is your eye drawn to? Which one are you avoiding?

If none of these sound appealing, tag around with your own ideas!

Easy?

[goeatworms]

[takes a folding chair, unfolds it, and sits down across the booth from him.]

Easy.

[bondingspirits]

I'm easy...? I'm not sure I understand.

[goeatworms]

[picks up a brochure and flips through it instead of answering.]

[bondingspirits]

[ . . . uh ]

If you have questions, I'll do my best to answer...

[goeatworms]

[lolololol]

All right. What was your childhood like?

[bondingspirits]

. . . it was a little rough at times.

[fists tighten]

[goeatworms]

Is that so.

[bondingspirits]

[nods]

...maybe a little lonely.

[goeatworms]

Never heard that one before.

[bondingspirits]

...it might be better that way.

[goeatworms]

Are you really that stupid?

[bondingspirits]

What?

[goeatworms]

Plenty of people's childhood's are shit.

[bondingspirits]

...I understand that. I only wish that it did not happen so often.

[goeatworms]

Keep dreaming. The world isn't a nice place.

[bondingspirits]

[Pauses]

I can't agree with that.

[goeatworms]

[raises his eyebrows and leans forward on the table.] No? Tell me more.

[bondingspirits]

I admit, I used to think that way. I didn't understand . . . but someone was able to show me kindness and slowly, I've started to see the good things in this world.

[shakes head]

There are times where it isn't a nice place, it's true. But definitely not all the time.

[goeatworms]

Interesting. What's so good about it?

[bondingspirits]

Warmth. Kindness. Friendship.

[goeatworms]

[without missing a beat.] Murder. Hatred. Torture.

[bondingspirits]

Loneliness. Pain. Lies. I know that they exist.

[goeatworms]

[raises his eyebrows.] So you're an inspirational story?

[bondingspirits]

[shakes head]

I was lucky to have experienced it. I know some people who had to suffer through it longer than I have.
