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]

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.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

I was going to spare you the details.

Any other day, maybe it would be threatening. Today nobody's got a pause button between their mouth and their brain.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I appreciate that, really I do.

And you're right--which reminds me, it's only a matter of time before I say something about you, so I apologize in advance for whatever it is when it happens.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

You're alright. It's a fair bet I'll have heard worse.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It's not that I'm worried it'll be worse, just that it'll be embarrassing. Or silly. But it's not as though I've gone around saying I wanted to hit anyone, or anything like that.

Mostly it's just things like saying you're wonderful. And that I'm glad to have had the chance to meet you. And that you're one of the few people here that never fails to make me feel safe, when you're around.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

I'm really not--

Making someone feel safe is a good thing in my book. I'm glad. And I'm glad to get to know you, too. I don't know any princesses back home, just girls who act like them.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh? Now I'm imagining your patients coming to you with all manner of princessly worries, like the one who finds herself covered in bruises every time she sleeps on something rougher than a pea, or the one who fell asleep on her sixteenth birthday and hasn't been awake at all since.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

I've... had weirder cases. The princesses I'm talking about weren't raised so well.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

But they're not the sort that have been locked in towers all their lives, I hope?
