34 - Cluck Cluck Cluck
[ The feed snaps on to a very irritable Karl, sprawled out on a chaise by the pool, a book lying half-open in his lap. There's something of the cooked and crispy variety piled on the table near him. Several somethings. Apparently, Karl thought it simpler to roast the flock of talking chickens than to let them cluck away. ]
[ Glancing at the Device, he scowls, ]
For a limited time only. If you're in the mood for an extra-roasted meal, stop by here and pick it up. No strings. [ He even promises not to attack you. If you leave fast enough. ] Hopefully these feathered rats taste better than the advice they dole out.
[ On cue, a colorful rooster flutters to perch on the chaise. Tilting its head at Karl, it opines, ] Remember, mon ami, you can't court a woman like you’d go at a piece of steak. For many of the fairer sex, less is more. Teasing is pleasing. Light is rig--

She won't break too easily. She never has. And isn't it true that the finest steel must endure the hottest fire?

Come Summer once more when the time calls for such things and outdoor activities?
no subject
A splendid idea. Provided we're still around in this thrice-damned City, come summer.

Making plans early enough out is a sure way to make things happen to disrupt them.
no subject
Disruptions happen regardless of how early or late plans are. In the end, it's best to roll with it. The City is asymptotic to predictability as it is.
