Character: Molly Hooper
Mun: Risa
Plot specific: Nope!

[There was no way that Molly was going to out herself on this so she'll pretend to be anonymous right now]

So recently, I've been having a problem.

Can anyone tell me what's the best way to get someone to notice you?

But isn't there another way without doing...something like that?

[catblog]

Yes...I suppose he is the type who doesn't know until I just tell him.

[catblog]

[Spilling a drink...she could do that but...]

Wouldn't it make them mad at you?

[catblog]

[...And that's not the end of her problems]

Until I have the courage to go up and talk to him, I think I don't have much of a choice.

[catblog]

Oh? What kind of style would you recommend?

[Please don't say walk naked in front of him....]

[neverbloomed]

Depends on how you want them to notice you?

But changing your hair always works.

[speterman]

Good, you should smile instead of being upset over some person that doesn't notice you, alright?

I have like a million and one horrible jokes if you ever need cheering up.

People talk all the time; it’s hardly the same as actually connecting in conversation. “Hello, how are you?” “Isn’t the weather lovely?” “My, what a nice jumper you’re wearing!” Utter drivel. Dull. Awful. It’s a waste of everyone’s time and a complete write off as far as speech is concerned. Conversing should be the exchange of ideas and higher thinking. Not about whether or not it looks like rain.

[bonafide_divinity]

Well, Hooper.

Have you tried introducing yourself?

[3houseswatson]

Well, he can't notice you if you're so dead-set on not being noticed until you pluck up some courage. If you focus on how self-conscious you are, you might never get up the nerve.

It's a nasty cycle.

[strongestoftheturks]

If he's interested in you, then he does. If not, too bad.

[di_intraining]

Hang out with your other friends and don't have anything to do with him. Crushes don't stick around for long and they go faster when you're with the right group of friends.

[aldhgpahgpiaghpoag]

...Yes, yes I have especially to that person.

[catblog]

Hm...

I think the best way would be something exciting? I am rather plain compared to a lot of girls so anything that pops out would be nice.

[catblog]

Then that's it?

I can't do anything to change his mind can I? [Hm...is there really nothing she can do?] I don't want to believe that but I think I have to accept that fact.

[bonafide_divinity]

Well, if that didn't work, I don't know what will. Good luck in your endeavours!

[catblog]

Yeah, I should. It can be difficult whenever I talk to him but I think I'll be fine. I might have to accept that he might not like me but...that's for another time!

[catblog]

[While that is true, there was another question that was bugging her]

Then what do you suggest that I do if...he rejects me?

[catblog]

I guess that would be the best way. I had a crush on him for a while now but I hope that this might just be a phase I'm going through.

[And yet, she doesn't]

[catblog]

Yes, I do agree but... [Oh man, how does she even describe it? Okay, you know what, let's try something else. She's going to take someone's advice!]

Hm, let's say...what would be your idea of a good conversation between two people? What would you two talk about to get certain ideas about something?

[catblog]

Certainly, there must be something even if introducing yourself doesn't work.

[3potionproblem]

Me? Not exactly what I could call a good example of normal men. I prefer conversations about means of death and execution. Rate of decomposition, the kinds of insects that lay their young in dead tissue and how the larval stages can give clues to the time of death. Macabre things, traditionally, but I have a mostly academic interest in them.

[bonafide_divinity]

There probably is, but introducing yourself is essentially he long and short of what I'm willing to suggest.

Who's attention are you vying for anyway?

[3houseswatson]

That... depends on a lot of things, I think.

Are the two of you already friends and you just started feeling more or is this a secret admirer kind of thing?

[psychiclilies]

You could always punch them. That usually works for me.
