Welcome back to Feng's. You know the drill. Without further warning, here's

The BEARD AU Meme

Hello, your character now has a beard. Probably you want to know why. Please pick one of the options below and post accordingly:

1. Shut up, I just have a beard ok.
2. PIRATES. On a pirate ship. Arrrrr.
3. A beard is the most feminine thing it is possible to have.
4. A beard is the most humiliating thing it is possible to have.
5. Office oyajis! You have beards b/c you're old and white collar.
6. Heh, this beard is just.... a face wig! /rips it off
7. Spock with a beard? I think not (You're your evil twin.)
8. Whatever reason you want.

Tag out and be ludicrous please. Thanks.

There maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay or may not be NPCs rolling around in this meme. (Probably, yes.)

[It's odd, being old. Getting old has never really factored into his plans; for a long time, he thought he'd be lucky to make it to thirty without a knife in his back. (He hadn't. The knife had been ill-aimed.)

It's odd, therefore, being old; and not just old, but the kind of old with a respectable office and a respectable wardrobe, and a job that is civilized in process if not in nature. He's never been the directorial type -- if working with people had been difficult, then managing them was worse. But there was a void, and, as former Chief Kirihara had explained to him, she needed him to fill it, and anyway, what else was he going to do, drink away the rest of his life?

He'd refused. It hadn't mattered.

And so here he is: Old, wearing a suit, and wrestling with paperwork. Supervising people. Having a secretary who brings him coffee, and lunching at the same hour every day. Some days, that's fine, even almost good. Some days, it's claustrophobic enough he almost wishes for that knife in his back.

Today is the latter, which is why he is out of his office and taking a stroll among the cubicles. Care to catch his attention?]
