what does cool mean?

yeah. when someone says you're cool, what does that mean?? wondering how people decide a person's cool. looks? personality? style? talk? huh. cool.

suki is cool. she can take a crappy looking old outfit and make it look totally retro, or change her look from goth to anime in seconds. she can scan a bunch of evi and put together a case that leaves the other team going "wait! what??" she can read people and instantly figure out how to get them to talk, even if she doesn't like them. which is a different sort of cool, right?

j-alex is cool in a mindbending way. he stands out in a crowd, sort of got a bubble thing going. you can walk into a huge crowd and instantly there he is. and when you get him really talking about stuff that matters, he has a really twisted way of thinking. you can get a whole convo going for hours and then you sit back and say, huh? yeah. that was cool.

pugerly is cool, but it's kind of like a whole image thing. when you see him, you think, ohh he totally looks cool. if you get him talking though, he's a totally different kind of cool. not the cool like he looks cool, but cool as in, you never realized how personally interesting he is, kind of cool.

the d-god is cool on a whole 'nother level. he's a kind of hits you when you're not looking cool. he can be going off at someone about something totally stupid, and then suddenly say or do something that totally re-establishes his cool.

i don't know. it's easier to describe not-cool. or uncool. or cool-less. but cool? it gets weird.
