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!

I must know awful scum, then.

[deadtective]

Not surprising, considering it's you.

[helpline]

Someone's got to scrape the bottom of the barrel of knowing scum, might as well be me.

[deadtective]

That's a nice way of saying 'all the good scum was taken'.

[helpline]

I'm two thousand years old, all my good scum's in a retirement home by now!

[deadtective]

What, scared if you cross the threshold of one they're not gonna let you back outside?

[helpline]

Nah, I'm scared that if I cross the threshold, I'll be dragged into yet another bit of alien nonsense. It's amazing how many retirees are homicidal metaphors.

[deadtective]

Not really. Old people are all about death.

[helpline]

Death and complaining.

[deadtective]

Everyone bitches.

[helpline]

Not at the level of old people. If I hear that so and so doesn't call or the iPad's not connecting to the internet one more time....

[deadtective]

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[helpline]

She forgot to save the password.

[deadtective]

I was talking about the old lady, not the tablet.

[helpline]

I'm afraid I'd need help with that, you can't really sonic people.

[deadtective]

Just unplug the medical equipment for like, five minutes. Works every time.

[helpline]

That works for the sick ones, it doesn't work for the ones who are well enough to bug me.

[deadtective]

No one gets that old without fucking black magic or surgeries. Just fuck with the pacemaker a little, it's fine.

[helpline]

I'm older than all those old people, you know.

[deadtective]

I know what I said.

[helpline]

Well if your options are black magic or surgeries then I suspect I'm a magician.

[deadtective]

Oh, really? And here I thought you were a doctor.

[HAR HAR walked right into that one, buddy]

[helpline]

[ The Doctor just GROANS, the sort of groan of someone who's just done with bad puns. ]

Very funny.

[deadtective]

You gotta stop making it so easy, dude.

[helpline]

It's hardly my fault that all the good jokes around your name are Halloween based! You can't make a Christmas Hazel sort of joke in retaliation.
