Gaara Application [Part 5]
[info]inhumanresource
2009-06-09 09:37 pm UTC (link)
He prefers to be alone, though he would benefit highly from having one or two good friends. He's not one for social groups of a big party or gathering. He isn't afraid of large crowds, but he doesn't like them. He likes to feel safe and secure, and doesn't like being in a situation he doesn't understand.

He's never experienced stress, but he has experienced worry. He does tend to worry about some things, which comes from thinking too hard about a particular subject. He's afraid of being miserable, because he thinks it's possible to die from it. He doesn't want to die. He idolizes his mother, because of how Yashamaru would talk about her and what she did for him. He will take offense if someone ever says anything negative about his mother, but chances are that will never happen. He has respect for his uncle, and for most authority figures because he was at least taught that much.

But having respect doesn't change how he treats people. Basically, everybody gets the same treatment unless you've managed to get him to like you. So instead of the usual blank face and disinterested tone, you might be able to earn a small smile and get him to actually respond to you rather than give a one-word reply to everything.

He likes sitting alone in his office with his potted plant, and organizing the same files over and over. He likes hearing what people complain about, though he doesn't like giving them advice on it because he has no idea. He likes raccoons and wants a pet one, but has no idea how to go about that. He's a little afraid of having an animal live with him that depends on him. He likes to try to cook, though he's not by any standards good at it. He ends up getting takeout more often than not, but he will try and watch how the cooks in the back do things, so he can go home and mimic it. He likes the TV, and likes to watch educational programs. He likes to recite random facts that he's heard on television as well. He also loves reading books, and visits the library often.

He's always had trouble sleeping, even as a baby. Because of this, his immune system is highly weakened and he gets sick very easily. Which is another good reason for him to remain inside most times. Because of this, he often has circles under his eyes, and almost sickly pale skin. He often takes naps through the day, and sits awake all night watching TV and the same infomercials over and over again. His energy level is very low, as is his muscle mass. He's very small at only 5'1" and 110 pounds.

Gaara Application [Part 6]

Sample Post:

First Person

Today I have made the following discoveries.

The term "hillbilly," came from Ireland in the 17th century. It was intended to insult supporters of King William. By calling them "billy boys," or "hill billys." I am still not sure about it's common origin. I need to do more research.

Vikings often wore pink into battle because they believed it was a color of the Gods, and thus needed to be worn to keep the Gods happy. I do not know how much pink they wore, though I have a hard time imagining it to be a vast amount.

They say if you shake the hand of a corpse of a crusader and wish him well, you will be granted good luck. I would like to do this. The luck comes from the fact that not many crusaders had hands by the time they died. They were often lost in battle. Corpses of this time often had the feet cut off, as well. Coffins were made to be one size. If they did not fit they lost their feet. The feet were then thrown out.

I am enjoying the History Channel today.

Third Person

While Gaara was always told to be frugal with his money and to always keep it saved except for when he needed something, now that he was on his own, he just couldn't help but give in to the occasional splurge. It was just the matter of finding right right one. There were plenty of strip malls in this area for him to choose from, and of course he went for the most upscale one, assuming that if it was good for people with loads of money then it should be good for him.

Though he wasn't impressed with what he saw. While some things said discounted, they were only about $2 cheaper. Was that even a discount? Wasn't there like, a certain percent that needed to be taken off? Taking off $2 was like saying it was a 0.46% discount. Well. Maybe it was best to just say "clearance," in big bright letters to attract people over. And it seemed to be working, people only looking at the new bright red price rather than the boring black one on the bottom of the tag.

He'd noticed something similar, too, when certain grocery stores would do "buy one get one free," promotions. While you did indeed get one free, you also had to pay more for the one. So it wasn't as free as you'd think.

Gaara Application [Part 7, FINISHED]

And while he'd notice these things, he did nothing about it. He liked that customers were being deceived, and that he was the one to notice and and avoid the deception. He liked to watch the women run for handbags that weren't actually on sale, and to watch the housewives flock to the Triscuit boxes because they were buy one get one partially free.

But that aside, he was here to give into one buying impulse. Since he was getting tired from all the walking, he decided that the first thing to catch his interest would be what he bought, and then he would call the taxi back to pick him up. Gaara didn't know how to drive, and likely never would unless someone took the time to teach him. But in a city as big as this, driving really wasn't required when you had public transportation to rely on.

Walking a bit further down the perfectly polished tiled floor, something finally caught his eye. A mannequin fully dressed in head-to-toe in sheer, lacy lingerie. The material had caught his attention because it looked soft. And since it was the first thing that caught his eye...

Doing a b-line straight to the woman's store, he approached the clerk, face as unchanged as ever. When she raised an eyebrow very slowly at him, he pointed to the mannequin up front and said, simply, "I want that." Blinking twice, she tried to open her mouth to say something in questioning, but decided against it when his expression didn't flinch. She assumed, and hoped, it was for some girlfriend or something... though who would date someone so scary. Gathering some composure, she asked him which size he needed. Looking back to the display for a moment, he returned his gaze to her and restated, "That size."

Doing her best not to wince, the woman went to the back and retrieved the items, and rung them up for Gaara, who paid by debit card. He'd been excited when he first got it, and his first purchase had been a Kit-Kat. After the item was bagged, he turned to walk away but then stopped abruptly, nodding at her in what was supposed to be a parting gesture. "Thank you. Have a pleasant evening."

And with that he left the store, not caring that he'd just spend $120 on woman's lingerie that he'd never use or wear. It was a splurge, after all. And weren't you not supposed to use those? Right. It had been a successful shopping day, definitely.
