[This is not a post from a cursed woman. Lacking clothes she may be, the line of her body outlined by a thin sheet, but the faint flush to her skin, the disarray of her hair, and the softness of her eyes can be attributed to nothing beyond satisfaction. Natural sexy.

All day she's been harassed by you ridiculous damn sexy people though, and she only has one thing to say about it,]

You are all trying too hard.

[That's all. Carry on, children.]

I could do without some of them trying at all.

[ Why, Mr. White. Why. ]

[dignity_misery]

Hm. [She rests her cheek in her hand, turning her head to look at him now that she's tossed the phone aside.] Hopefully this one will stick to twenty-four hours.

[blonderazorshiv]

[ There's a bit of a stretch. ] Hopefully. Weird that the sand didn't go away -- isn't it usually only one curse at a time?

[dignity_misery]

It's still pouring in.

[She wonders how bad it is in the apartment next door if her room and increasingly their bathroom and kitchen are acquiring more and more of it. Its destruction of the water infrastructure, for the entire city, was bothersome to Carla. She had seen about buying and storing some water in the Underground before returning to the city and all its half-naked nonsense.]

No one said anything about multiples during the week, but they seem separate.

[cold_dry_pieces]

That's normal around here.

[dignity_misery]

[Sigh.]

I'm noticing.

[cold_dry_pieces]

You get better at ignoring it, eventually.

[Not that he's ignoring it entirely. Nor is he ignoring this, hi there Carla.]

[Guess who is jealous of all these sexy people today? Yes, this girl! But... it's Carla, and she has a fondness for her, so she will attempt to speak to her.]

What do you mean by that?

[She's not cursed at all, so... she's been just hiding away looking through the network for relevant posts while she reads.]

[dignity_misery]

[Hello, bunny.]

Confidence is hot, but understanding that you don't need everyone to want you is a big part of it. Showing off in order to prove how sexy you are defeats the purpose.

[Either you're sexy or your not. No amount of trying would change that.]

voice;

[firstaid]

[It makes sense. She got the confidence lecture already from multiple people.]

People are attracted to different types of people, right?

[She kind of got that out of her lectures too... kind of...]

[intheblanks]

It's a problem if you have to try at all. Interesting that people are confusing confidence with attention seeking. Two ends of the scale.

[Not that he isn't afflicted. Just slightly more aware.]

voice;

[dignity_misery]

Not everyone is going to like you.

voice;

[intheblanks]

Not everyone's worth being liked by.

[feorge]

No such thing. On an entirely related note, you look fantastic today.

[dignity_misery]

The desire to prove your confidence negates its authenticity.

[feorge]

I'd rather argue the opposite. The confidence to prove your desires is 'round about as authentic as it gets.

[synanthrope]

[Laughing]

[dignity_misery]

They're a little tedious.

[synanthrope]

It's interesting.

[nohometown]

As they're compelled, this can hardly be counted as attempts on their part.

[dignity_misery]

But not their natural inclination all the same.

[nohometown]

Perhaps not, but the fact that people are forced to act uncharacteristically is more concerning than their natural inclinations. If they normally don't behave that way, they can't be accused of "trying too hard".

[wayfarers]

Nah, I'm just a natural.

[dignity_misery]

Look who it is.

[wayfarers]

Yeah, I know, I should start charging for appearances, but this one's on the house because I'm such a great guy.
