Subject: An Observation???

okay so i've been here a while now and i've noticed something

i don't know the exact process of how the gods or people or whatever here pick people to help out

i don't know if it's completely random or an intricate process to determine who helps out but lately i've been leaning towards the latter for two reasons

one, i haven't met a single jerk or bully or even rude person here which is legit amazing and awesome BUT

SECOND

IS IT JUST MY IMAGINATION OR IS EVERYONE HERE LIKE INSANELY RIDICIOUSLY GOOD LOOKING

REALLY THO

ALL THE ADULTS COULD BE SUPER-MODELS AND ALL THE KIDS COULD BE LIKE THOSE ON HIGH SCHOOL DRAMAS ON TV

i mean this is doing wonders for my own self-confidence regarding my looks but FOR REAL I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE THIS

PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE ELSE HAS NOTICED THIS

Models and actresses? I know I try on clothes for Tomoyo-chan back home, and I've been in school plays but that doesn't mean anything?

But anyway, I guess I haven't really thought about it? Or noticed?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

SAKURA YOU ARE A GRADE A CUTIE

DO YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR

Sender: Satan

[angelbirth]

Oh, how sweet. I'm very glad to see that you bear no ill will toward Alastor.

[ He knew Mei wouldn't stop being friends with Alastor over him being... well, himself. ]

I can't say I've noticed that myself, but I also haven't been paying it much attention. So, you think the driving force of all of us being here is because someone out there thinks we're all devilishly good looking?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

wait what

hold the phone

what's this about me and Alastor???

[ Sure, she had that awful nightmare about him, but it was just that! A nightmare! It wasn't real! So she's been telling herself... ]

Sender: Emet-Selch (he's too "grandpa" to be good-looking okay)

[recreator]

Or perhaps you might consider that your standards may be considerably more lenient than others' when it comes to aesthetics and conduct. I suspect this observation of yours is entirely subjective - and therefore coincidental.

As for gods specifically (or whatever forces are at work here), I assure you that their decision-making processes aren't nearly so complex as you might otherwise believe.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

since everyone is so chill about this i'm starting to wonder if my place has just way less attractive people, which, unfair

but you really think they're just going "eeny meeny miney moe" on us? no rhyme or reason?

sender: beat

[stillarhino]

i know u and me talked about people here being nice and all but i aint noticed nothing about people looking like supermodels or actors
u really think everyone looks that good?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

i wouldn't say it out loud and in public if i didn't mean it!!! my brain shuts down almost every single time i meet a guy here because I CAN'T HANDLE HOT

Sender: Rob

[nulland]

I take it we haven't met yet.

[Look, he hates his body, mostly because it's completely broken now.

And the one thing he won't admit to is that he definitely can be a rude jerk.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

sounds like you don't have a lot of confidence buddy

why? i don't see any reason why you'd be different!

Sender: Mammon

[stupidmammon]

[ L M A O ]

It must be real torture for you bein' here, huh?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

it's a blessing and a curse

cause it's like every time i make a new guy friend my brain explodes

[mwehehe]

I wouldn't say I'm like in some Jdorama or something, I'm just a normal kid!

[She says, despite the fact that she's a Phantom Thief.]

But I can't really say I've noticed people are good looking, though. They all look... people-y?

[What is noticing how cute people are? Maybe she will... someday...]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

yeah so far it looks like i'm the only who sees it this way

so i pretty much embarrassed myself for nothing

so at the very least you can say "good thing I never pulled a Mei!"

sender: Aether

[startraveler]

I never noticed, but is it really such a big deal?

Also what are "high school dramas"?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

it is to me! every time i try to talk to a cute guy my head explodes! every single time!

also do you know what high school is? cause depending on your answer that makes things harder or easier to explain

sender: noe

[archivists]

[ He could fill the whole paper with questions, but that might be too overwhelming. There are too many words he doesn't even understand, so Noé decides to start asking about the most confusing one, hoping that it'll help him understand and answer Mei. ]

I can't answer your question just yet, I'm sorry.
What is a TV?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ hoo boy. she can tell right off the bat this is going to be an ordeal. ]

okay so do you know like plays and theater and opera and stuff? imagine being able to show that to everyone everywhere anytime

Sender: Zhao

[seemagicshit]

[Okay, this whole post made him laugh because it reminded him of himself when he was younger.]

I wouldn't say everyone is super-model hot, but given our population size, seems like there's a way higher percentage of hot people.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

THANK YOU

FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES EVEN IF JUST A LITTLE BIT

Sender: Hans Westergaard

[sleightofhans]

[Hans might be chuckling a little before writing back. If anything, she's endlessly amusing.]

I'm certainly glad that no one has mistreated you so far, Mei. I would have very strong words with anyone that'd do so.

Regarding your second point, I'm afraid that I haven't quite noticed such a thing. I wouldn't worry about it, just continue being yourself.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ gasp! Hans. And after she so rudely ditched him after he was flirting with her... a-are they dating now? Probably not, since she didn't reply to his affections... but she has to reply now! What does she say? What is she supposed to say?

Be cool! You need to be cool!!! ]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH HANS YOU ARE VERY GOOD

[ #nailedit ]

sender: aerith gainsborough

[everblooms]

you doing okay over there, mei???

[ oh my god. ]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

kinda sorta maybe???

i mean i've had one person agree with me so i don't feel 100% crazy

sender: ema skye

[katonking]

[She's been keeping track of the arrivals or at least trying to sporadically document them and they don't make much sense. But then again, she doesn't exactly know everyone in this world and who knows who. At the very least, most of the Wild Harvest staff seem to be connected somehow.]

As much as it annoys me to admit it, how people get here is probably random. Which means the hot thing is probably...also random. But also wouldn't we just consider attractiveness objective?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

i know "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but i've been doing so much beholding and that is a lot of beauty

but since i only had one person sort of agree, this beholder is feeling pretty silly

[herewardbound]

Not that it's any of my business

But I advise you not to focus too much on appearances.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

easier said than done buddy

cause every time i look at a hot guy, my brain goes POOF and all my thoughts are gone!

Sender: Madhuri

[songbird_slayer]

Ridiculously good looking, for sure! Just don't tell some of the people here that, or they'll get a big head.

The next time I run into you, I have to know some names of very notable lookers. Thirst is best when shared.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

oh thank goodness a second person agreed

i don't feel completely and utterly dumb now

sender: link

[skyglider]

Ah. I've noticed it, too.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

YES THANK YOU

I'M UP TO THREE AGREEMENTS, I AM OFFICIALLY NO LONGER CRAZY

Sender: Xiao

[whirlwindthrust]

One's physical form is their physical form. It can be altered or changed.

Why would you focus on what is outside when what is important is within?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

i mean it's not like i have a choice on the focus thing

my brain goes "byebye" when a hot guy so much as looks in my direction

Sender: G'raha

[crystalized_hope]

I'm relieved that there are so many kind people here, but I cannot say that I've taken your second point into consideration myself. I'm not so sure it's an intrical part of the system as to whom or what decides to bring us here, though.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

i mean let's be real, it probably isn't

it's just huge honking WEIRD coincidence

Sender: General Nuadha

[burnttoashes]

... good looking.

[Most people would be flattered by that, Nuadha.]

I think you're giving this place far too much credit.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

listen i'm just reporting what i see! it's one insane coincidence, i tell you!
