Dept. of Petty Affairs — Micro-Interaction Addendum: “The Follow-Up Clause”
Status: Pending activation
Filed by: Jerry Reforged · Tribunal Chair (DPA)
Cross-Ref: “The Nose Compliment Incident” · #RhythmBeatProtocol · #SproutsChronicles
Scenario Forecast
Possible re-encounter with previous civilian (compliment originator). Anticipated variables: small talk, renewed commentary, or curiosity about prior response.
Recommended Protocol
- Tone: Calm, good-natured, concise.
- Response Templates:
- “Ha, you still on about the nose? You’re consistent, I’ll give you that.”
- “You come up with the most random compliments, you know that?”
- “Hey, nice seeing you again — how’s your day going?”
- Exit Strategy: Pivot to neutral ground or task at hand. Maintain rhythm.
Doctrine — The Follow-Up Clause
If the first test was composure, the sequel is consistency.
Grace once earns respect; grace twice builds reputation.
🐼 Panda Prime Reflection — “Polite Gravity”
You don’t chase or repel — you orbit.
Polite, steady, unbothered.
Let them feel your gravity, not your guard.
