Right, so it's been brought to my attention that those bloody awful reports have been floating certain rumors around about me, and I'd rather just end those before they even get going all right?

[because even Rincewind's starved sense of self-respect has to draw the line at people thinking he fancies dishware.]

So, to be clear: I'm pansexual.

[which is an admittedly backwards linguistic for declaring one's lack of attraction to tea cups and related sundry, but there's just no accounting for etymological taste.]

There? [he arches a pointed brow.] Shall I assume that just about does it? All questions answered? Jolly good.

[honestly, the people in this place really will believe anything, won't they? Lucky that Snart fellow pointed this out when he did - things really could have gotten out of hand.]

Comments

[devoutish]

I've seen them, yeah, but I haven't appeared in any of 'em. Lucky, eh?

[wizzardly]

Look, I was only trying to say I don't want to have sex with pans.

[wizzardly]

Oh.

[p a u s e]

...Then what does pansexual mean?

[wizzardly]

Yes, "attack". As in ruin people's otherwise sort of nice days. I read about that, you know. And that whole bit about you not being the scary Crane - that was just for a lark, was it?

[wizzardly]

[that deserves a grimace.]

...I suppose it's only lucky I wasn't using my reputation to begin with. You know, you barely know you have a thing until you set it on fire.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I wouldn't say you had no reputation -- in the fandom, I mean. Just perhaps one that would not suit your tastes.

[huntergames]

Definitely!

What is Rincewind talking about, though...?

[wizzardly]

Oh, yes. "Fandom". [he scoffs.] I've been familiar with some addled monarchies in my time, but that one still takes the biscuit.

How do you manage yours?

[wizzardly]

What, you don't believe in those, um.... sweet creamy dreams anymore? [that's what they were, right?]

[wizzardly]

[Rincewind looks positively queasy.]

Right, you are no longer allowed to use that word; I'm revoking your "frisky" privileges.

[rathercommon]

Ah.

[ As kindly as she can: ]

It's nothing bad or embarrassing. But I think that also it might not be what you actually are. So don't feel bad about saying it, but - probably don't say it any more. Because it's not accurate.

[restingstitchface]

No. I was curious about people's capacity for rational thought in the face of bias. Simply put, I found myself intrigued by a conundrum and decided to investigate further.

[And revel in those dumb enough to fall for it.]

[brushoff]

Would you prefer I use 'fucking' instead?

[ because he's got a feeling that Rincewind won't really prefer it either... ]

[marriedmedium]

Congratulations! A toast to you and your pan sex!

[Sadie raises a glass. It's basically an involuntary movement at this point.]

[monge]

[Sweet creamy...? Oh! He means soft cream. He could never betray soft cream.]

N-No, I do, I really do, zura! I still help that city whenever I have the money, I don't think I could ever stop, z-zura!

[But.]

But...if I won, I probably would've had to move there...by myself, and I would've been really sad... and kinda lonely if I couldn't stay with my friends, zura... S-So I can just help in other ways, zura!

[plasthmatic]

[She squints. Something niggles at the back of her mind, because that name sounds...awfully familiar. She can't pinpoint why, though. Something about television.]

I think you're lying. Are you being a truth-teller, Sir Fucks-It-All?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I find that humoring them often staves off their hunger... You do not want them ravenous, Rincewind.

Just imagine what the starving will create.

[baetiful]

That does not make it any less of a woman's shirt. It does, however, make you a bit less of a man.

[Will is aware he tends to Know Things, and that Sasha is used to Will Knowing Things. Or knowing how to find them out. It comes with the territory of not living inside walls under attack from cannibals...okay, not in a physical sense anyway, Will was like that emotionally. There is a difference. But this time? Well.]

I'm...not actually sure.

[aggressiveapathy]

Only if they seem normal.

[aggressiveapathy]

You're right.

It all must burn.

[sleight_of_hand]

I-I'm not scrawny! I'm thin!

[ There was totally a difference, and it totally wasn't because he subsisted on cabbage and ramen or anything. ]

And I really don't care what people think, so it wouldn't bother me enough to put out a message like this.

[infomodder]

You're flipping the usual housing discrimination on its head with that one, babe.

[aggressiveapathy]

If only normal people could come in, we'd be out of a house.

[infomodder]

Touché.
