[All Justin had wanted was lunch. Unfortunately, the café seems to have embraced a clothing-optional philosophy... along with the rest of the City. So much for lunch or, for that matter, ever leaving the apartment again once he gets there.]

There's a... a curse today, I assume. If you're not affected and you haven't been out today--if you haven't seen anything yet--just stay at home.

Don't check the network, either.


[ooc: Decidedly not cursed. Mortify at will, action as you like if your character is in the vicinity of Café Juliet or just running around outside.]

Why, by all the things the eye shouldn't see that you barely just mentioned. Of course.

[othersdie]

So you checked the network or looked out of a window. I can't do anything about that.

[shall_yield_us]

You could have warned earlier, or come in person and held my hand and steered me away from such evil, but nooo. No, no, no. You. Couldn't be - bothered.

What've you to say for yourself?

[othersdie]

When it comes to curses like this, you're on your own.

[shall_yield_us]

Some champion.

[othersdie]

You're not the first person to be disappointed by my shortcomings and you won't be the last.

[shall_yield_us]

But I'm the one who matters. Ergo.

[othersdie]

Ergo what? I should stop being disappointing just for you?

[shall_yield_us]

...yes.

[othersdie]

No.

[shall_yield_us]

Name me one person more deserving.

[shall_yield_us]

...and I might rip their head off. Hmmmm.

[othersdie]

[Anyone.]

It's not a matter of who's deserving and who isn't. I'm human; I have limitations.

[shall_yield_us]

And what do I care? Should I care? No.

Do I tell you my limitations? Give you their measure? Ask of you to consider them? No.

[othersdie]

No, you shouldn't care. I don't care about your limitations, either. The difference is that you seem to expect me to do what I can't to improve your life.

[shall_yield_us]

Why else would you exist on this world?

[othersdie]

Other than to serve you? I have no idea.

[shall_yield_us]

Finally, we meet agreement.
