Since everyone's showing theirs, I thought I'd share mine. [She grins, and angles the camera to her very impressive chest, where her T-shirt proudly proclamates:

HIDE YOUR SONS

She then lifts the device again.] I had to get this done on commission. Used to own one of these in Exeter, but unfortunately the City doesn't also move your wardrobe here with you, so this is a new and improved version.

[And a bit of a repentant, sheepish smile.] Sorry, no curse. For once, the City has decided not to air my dirty laundry in public. [Pause.] I don't feel as accomplished as I thought I would after making that pun.

Either way, you all have a ...very interesting past, it seems? But a lot of the things on the shirts people are wearing today are personal, so - welcomed or not, you have my sympathy. One should be allowed to wear whatever inscription one wants on one's T-shirt, with a big emphasis on wants to. Can't they be covered up with a scarf, or a cardigan? Just a suggestion.

[ooc; What she said: not cursed.]

It was bad.

[brobeforehos]

I know. The subtle ones don't generate snorting, though.

[dignity_misery]

I'm not so great with subtlety.

[brobeforehos]

Hey - if it gets a laugh out of people, I'll keep making bad puns.

[dignity_misery]

[Hm. That...]

That's a lot of emphasis on other people.

[brobeforehos]

Well - laughing at my own jokes could be constitued as tragic.

[Carla shrugs. She laughs at her own jokes.]

I wouldn't mind.

[brobeforehos]

Well, at least that's one person.

I assume you've considered what would have been on your t-shirt, had you been cursed.

video;

[brobeforehos]

Yes, I have.

[dignity_misery]

I guess no one really gets to skip some of these curses.

Re: video;

[brobeforehos]

Or any of them, whether by being affected or by thinking they will be - is that what you're saying?

video;

[dignity_misery]

Yeah. It still got a place in your head all day.

[Carla doesn't include herself, not this time.]

[brobeforehos]

Pretty much - this place is one mind control game after another.

video;

[dignity_misery]

[She's laughing, low and miserable.]

Yeah, it is.

video;

[brobeforehos]

Yeah...[She pauses, the mood considerably affected; she's at a loss of how to help, but there's that feeling that she should...Grasping at straws:] Do you want one of these?

video;

[dignity_misery]

One of the shirts?

[She considers it with a shrug.]

If Saya doesn't burn it off me.

video;

[brobeforehos]

True, she might.


We can smuggle it in.

[dignity_misery]

[Another shrug. She's not good for much beyond apathy and bitter amusement at the moment.]

You can try.
