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]

Yes, I think that must be it.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

In any case, it's nice to see.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

It is rather interesting to enjoy a curse for once.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I do hope no one's threatened you today, though. That sort of thing seems to be coming up rather frequently.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Konata said that she would hit me, and somehow there were 'bonus points' involved for how I dress. But she seemed to mean it as a joke, so I didn't think it was a threat exactly.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It's an odd thing to joke about, though. Especially if the person you're joking with is a complete stranger, as some people have been doing today.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is an odd thing to joke about, but it's a figure of speech, I feel certain.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, if it's meant to be complimentary or flattering in any sort of way, I think I'd much prefer something a bit more traditional. Even if thinking so makes me old-fashioned.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Was my assessment traditional enough or shall I try again?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, it wasn't exactly Shakespeare, but I can hardly find fault in a perfect score on an assessment, can I?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

It is difficult to argue against, yes.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I don't think I much compare to a summer's day, anyway.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

That is true. Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

More temperamental, more like.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

That isn't how it goes at all.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Of course it isn't, silly. It doesn't fit the meter.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

And that's only the beginning of it being completely wrong.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Why, surely you don't mean to suggest that I'm not temperamental!

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Well, you can be, but that isn't how the poem is meant to go.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

And you've cleverly avoided my trap once again. Drat it all.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

So perhaps I'm clever along with everything else.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Entirely too clever, I would say. But of course, that doesn't mean that I dislike that you are.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Well, that is comforting.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I really am glad you're enjoying yourself today, you know. Speaking of things being comforting.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I am rather surprised at how amusing I'm finding all this.
