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]

Ten, easily.

[instrumentals]

Ah-- They've really said those things to you today?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Easily? Mm, now I suspect you're exaggerating.

But thank you, I'm flattered you think so.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I've been hearing it all over today. Really, I understand that things like this can get tedious, but that's no reason to resort to physical violence.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Not at all, and you're quite welcome, of course.

[instrumentals]

Yes, I can understand that they may feel hurt by what others have said about them, but making such threats really isn't defensible.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

You're enjoying yourself today, aren't you, Cain?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Is it so obvious as all that?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Especially not when they just come out of nowhere! Honestly, I don't know what I could've said to warrant such a threat, but someone felt it necessary to make one, nonetheless.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know. Perhaps I just know the signs to look for, by now.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

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.
