The Meet And Greet Meme For Characters


The Meet and Greet Meme
For Characters

 This is the IC version of the The Role Call Meme




[The Rules]

1. Find the thread for the canons/fandoms of your character. If you don't see one, make one!

2. Post with all of your character accounts. Yes, all of them. Throwing in your entire musebox is totally fine in this meme. (Please write down the name and canon/fandom of the character in the subject line, and also if they're canon, AU, crossover or OC, etc.)

3. AU characters are totally OK. Crossover/fusion characters may post at all the fandoms/canons their crossover/fusion is derived from. Fandom OCs may post at their fandom/canon's thread. Original Story/Universe OCs will have their own thread.

4. Tag around all over the place - Canonmates, non-canonmates, everything is OK!

"Ah, I see. Well, I like a good boxed wine, it never gave me any trouble before," she said with a light laugh. Looking around the room at all the people. "Well, Julie Child seems like a very wise woman, and I shall take that advice to heart," she said firmly, smiling toward Vanessa.

Her next question blows her mind, it was like opening Pandora's box, and Karen wasn't sure if she wanted to go there? "Well, there is one guy, but I don't think he knows I exist that way. Here? Gee, I don't know. I mean, it is really hard to choose," she said shyly.

"That's the beauty of it, my dear, you don't have to choose. Think of a party as window shopping, a little cobweb of a dream, nothing more. How would I look with that draped around my shoulders? Is it too form fitting? Too loose? Does it come in my favorite color?" Letting Karen in on another secret, "It is what they're all thinking in their various ways, just a game that some play for fun and others quite seriously, looking for ways to get ahead. Everyone wants something and right now some of them want to know who you are and what we're talking about that makes us laugh as we survey what is on offer. Are we talking about them? Admiring them? A thought that makes them stand taller, straightening shoulders? Or are we mocking their enemies. They are the stars of their own movies, the camera always on them, showing the world from their point of view." Lips quirk, another smile in the wings, "We are only co-stars from their perspective, while in actuality we are the protagonists in our own movies."

Karen lets out a laugh, shaking her head. She never thought of things like that, and it made her look around the room with new found appreciation. "I see what you are saying, but these people must be so bored that they need to play such games," she said genuinely, not wanting to insult anyone here.

Karen was a simple creature, some beer, or some scotch, a good movie, or a good book, maybe some friends, a little daydreaming about a certain someone, working hard, and doing it all again. That was her life, so looking at the people that had money, and time, and hearing how they got by. It kind of blew her mind a little.

"I think you've just blown my mind a little," she said honestly.

Summed up the majority of the attendees in these words, "They shop for clothes, shoes, yes even art, because they are bored and searching for contentment. Vainly hoping that the things they buy will make that feeling last, but it never does. Most are unhappy in their marriages, ones that may have started with infatuation, but that too is temporary. They're together because of harsh conditions in prenuptial contracts or because of young children, fighting and bickering behind closed doors, or worse, cold and distant. They may agree to look the other way for temporary liaisons, as long it's nothing too blatant." Vanessa shook her head, "Games and money are all they really have."

Amended, "Although there are notable exceptions and they don't need to be here to have influence."

"Wow," she had thought that being so rich would have had a lot of pros and cons, but hearing what she was saying right now made Karen's head spin. "I guess there are more cons, then pros in these sorts of lives, which is sad. I'd rather be broke, and happy, then rich, and unhappy," she said with a shake of her head.

"I guess money is not all that it is cracked up to be," she said finally. "How do you know so much about all of these people? I mean, do they confide in you? Or do you hear things? I mean, how do they do it, and how do you know it? It all seems like a giant ball of string that just got jumbled together, and can never get unjumbled," she said with a sigh.

"I watch and listen. It doesn't take being in their homes to see what happens behind closed doors. The glances they give their current lover are self-evident as are the ones to their current spouse. Money is not happiness, a little can help, but too much...it defines them, confines them, causes them to search for a purpose that is not fulfillment in their marriage or a job, which they no longer need to have." Confessed, "At one time, I played the game, searched for a happiness I learned they could not give me. Very few would be contented with an evening of reading a book, sipping a drink and just being quiet together. If they have such a difficult time accepting themselves, then in the end, they cannot fully accept the qualities of others."

"Now," clearing her throat, "I did not mean to make you depressed, but you should know, if you play, do it because it is fun for you, not because you hope to find anyone to keep. Should you find that one loyal person, keep them because they are a rarity."

Karen smiled warmly at the other woman, raising her glass toward her for a moment, "you are very wise," she said warmly.

"You see more, know more than I do. I just look around and see a bunch of self important people who want to snub their nose at you, or they want to step on your while they try to get to the next, great step," she said in an unsure, unsteady tone of voice. Shaking her head, she sighed and took a drink from her wine. "Though your plan sounds nice, reading a book, sitting at home, just being near on another," she said with a sigh.

"I am not sure, I don't think this is my kind of scene. I mean, I would love some money. I would. But, not at this expense. It doesn't seem worth it, it seems like such a hollow life. I want a life that means something, that's done something wonderful," she offers candidly.
