text, memeing it up

[rathercommon]

Hullo, all.

So...The days are short, the air is cold (except in Heropa), and all of us are struggling with lingering embarrassment from all those mis-sent texts. So, to give us all a bit of cheer, and in recognition of all the holidays we've constructed to help us deal with winter, I thought we all could give one another a bit of love.

So! How does this work, then? Well -

1. Go ahead and post your name in this post.
2. People respond to you with things they like about you, lovely moments you've shared, et cetera.
3. You go out and respond to others with things you like about them.
4. NO BEING AWFUL. Do NOT give backhanded compliments or secretly troll people or things like that. The point of this is to be good to one another. Go be good to one another!

Are you kidding? That'd be a fucking riot for everyone.

[oceanthief]

It's not really that much different from flying around on a planet.

[helpline]

More of a statement of fact than a problem. It's a hell of an age gap--don't know who'd be comfortable with it in the first place.

[deadtective]

You know that turns some people on, right?

[helpline]

We're just not going to talk about that bit.

[deadtective]

Oh come on, that's like your biggest selling point right now.

"Oooh, fuck me, Daddy!"

So how does this place compare? From what I've heard the City had more freedom and less politics. But more chaos, too.

[musclemothers]

I don't know, I've never pissed one off. What did you do to him?

[musclemothers]

As charming as you are, nobody's charming enough to make that an appealing prospect.

But I can certainly test yours, if you're interested.

[flowerette]

Cruel. I thought we were friends.

[musclemothers]

Do you usually poke around the nethers of your close friends?

[can he watch?]

[wizzardly]

Nothing! I just took a magical seal off someone he put one on. Mostly unwillingly! It's a lot to hold against a person for no good reason.

[musclemothers]

As you said, he's the devil. Not particularly forthright when it comes to excuses, I would imagine.

So what, was the magical seal giving someone neverending herpes or something?

[flowerette]

Well, my CLOSE friends often get to poke around mine as well. Frederick and I are very open so long as the other is present.

[musclemothers]

[ Oh, god. It's just another, shitty version of the Monarch and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. ]

How very adventurous of you.

And it's a proposition I doubt the good Doctor would feel kindly towards.

[wizzardly]

Aren't those neverending to begin with?

But no, it more tethered the person to him. Made it easier for him to track them and such, and know what was happening to them. Like a magical leash.

[flowerette]

And why is that? What did you do to him?

[ Because Chilton is such a perfect angel. ]

[musclemothers]

What did I do to him? That's rich, really! I'm surprised he hasn't told you about me yet.

No, he's just insistent on going all armchair psychologist on my ass.

thanks to you, i got to google herpes, JUST FOR ACCURACY.

[musclemothers]

I mean, I suppose that depends. I should have said neverending painful herpes. Usually it's pretty damn benign. Syphilis would probably be a better example.

So let me get this straight: you saw this clearly malevolent spell on someone, removed it from them, and expected what exactly?

THE MORE YOU KNOW~

[wizzardly]

You sound the expert, I'll take your word for it.

[that implication is exactly what it looks like.]

And I see what you're trying to do, don't think I don't. I got swept up in circumstance, it wasn't my fault. What I expected was to be able to flee several hundred miles away and be well out of reach by the time an angry angel found out about it. Obviously that didn't work out.

Anyway, it's all old news now. Over with. And may Lucifer never darken the Porter's fickle doorway again.

[flowerette]

And that bothers you? If you have nothing to hide, it shouldn't bother you.

[musclemothers]

That's bullshit and you know it.

Re: THE MORE YOU KNOW~

[musclemothers]

I'm trying to understand what happened, so long as we're talking about the literal devil in our midst. Gone or not, he has the capacity to come back.

What exactly would I gain from baiting you?

[ he was totally baiting him ]

Also, STD-free, thank you for your concern. There's no shame in being up to date on matters of sexual health, you know.

[wizzardly]

Temporary amusement meant to alleviate the passing of time and/or satisfy some inner sadism? That's the popular answer, anyway.

And I'd like to cut any talk of "sexual health" off before it even begins.

[flowerette]

I only know that the people who react the most volatile to Frederick's advances are the ones he inevitably winds up treating.
