Quest 162

[primrosella]

Drat it all, now this is just getting ridiculous.

Really, I understand that there's a curse today and we can't help the actions we take when we're cursed, but must we all be so violent about things? Honestly, I can understand that being rated by someone else isn't exactly the nicest feeling in the world, but that's no reason to go around threatening to hit them! And particularly not like--oh, what was it? "The fist of an angry god"? Goodness, it's just terrible. What could anyone possibly do to deserve that?

Or that other one. I don't even know what I did to warrant it, but earlier today someone walked up to me all of a sudden and threatened to hit me so hard that it'd take the next King of England to pull him off me again! Really, of all the terrible things... It's horrible! And makes me even more convinced about taking steps to prevent things like this--

Honestly, it'll be over at midnight, and I'm sure we'll all be thankful for that when it comes. But can't we all just try to get along until then without losing our tempers?


[OOC: Yes. Yes I did. And yes, she is a bit cursed today, though she hasn't quite realized it yet. Feel free to rate her if you want, and she'll rate people who reply in one way or another, depending on what fits best. Or just, y'know, break her brain trying to explain "I'd hit it". =D]

Good. I'm glad to know.

It isn't right, by any stretch of the imagination.

Oh. I guess you're... um. Thank you?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. I'm afraid I'm cursed, as you might've guessed.

[had_not_lived]

Yeah, I figured. Well. I don't need to be cursed to say that I consider you one of my best friends, Rosella.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

And I do as well, Neil. I'm so very glad I had the chance to meet you here.

[mumbled_truth]

Who would want to hit you?

audio;

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Plenty of people, if the day I've been having is any indication. It's utterly ridiculous.

[mumbled_truth]

That's horrible. And... I thought people were cursed to rate each other, anyway. What does hitting have to do with it?

audio;

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Apparently some people think that sort of thing is a compliment, but I really don't see how. And I don't care if it makes me old-fashioned to think so, it's really no way to talk--and especially not to a lady.

audio;

[mumbled_truth]

But... but that sounds like a threat. And of course that's no way to talk to anyone, but especially not to a lady, and especially not to you.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It does. Really, it's rather frightening, having someone walk up from out of nowhere and say something like that without any warning. I certainly don't understand it at all.

[princess-crow.livejournal.com]

A fist of an angry god? What kind of threat is that?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

A frightening one, I must say, if you're not expecting it. Angry gods aren't things to be trifled with, in my experience.

audio;

[mumbled_truth]

Neither do I. I'm sorry that anyone would ever talk to you like that, though. I mean, you're too good of a person and a friend for me to ever imagine anyone hitting you.

[princess-crow.livejournal.com]

I never meet anyone. I met an insufferable insane angel and creatures called "Endless" that you should avoid.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

It wasn't a threat. Inventive, but not actually violent.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It's sweet of you to think so, Todd. And I'm glad you do, because I think you're just wonderful--even if you don't always give yourself enough credit--and having you for a friend is one of the nicest parts of being here.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

My goodness, neither of those sounds particularly pleasant, either. If I ever hear tell of them, I'll be certain to avoid them.

And just so you know, I think you're absolutely beautiful, Rue.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It certainly sounded like one, coming out of nowhere like that.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

It was a euphemism. People say a lot of strange things, like bad meaning good and fat meaning good.

Means they liked you.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

A bit more than just liked, I think. I've heard tell it means they wanted to have a casual se--

...

That. Um. No, you're right, I think it'd be better to stick with they liked me.

audio;

[mumbled_truth]

Oh. Um-- ... well. Thank you.

[You totally cannot hear him blushing.]

audio;

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

[LIES SHE HEARS EVERYTHING.]

And I'd never throw you off a cliff, either.

Has someone explained "hit" to you yet?
