If you've lived here for a while, you probably understand what's going on as much as any of us can understand the things that happen in the City. If you're newly arrived, either today or within the past month or two, this is probably more confusing.

There is a high probability that this is a two-day curse. People who have arrived today will likely leave after Sunday night. There's a history of this kind of curse in network postings if you go back far enough.

What I'm saying is that if there are people you don't want to see who have just popped up, they'll probably be gone soon and you can breathe a sigh of relief. If there are people here you want to see, make the best of this time, because I'm sorry to say it's probably limited.

Text Addendum
This guy: [link] is a few fries short of a happy meal. Just walk the other way if you see him and contact the police force.

Text Addendum 2
This guy: [link] isn't my favorite person when he isn't turning into a screaming beast apparently intent on eating me. If you run into him, it might be him, and that's enough reason to avoid him, and it might be this (link to a screencap from this conversation) and you really want to avoid that.


[ooc: Bring it on.]

[pimphandoftheking]

I see.

[Except no, not really. In fact not at all. None of this information means anything.]

I take residence at King's Landing.

[Nevermind the year.]

You condolences. There are other pleasures far sweeter than anything in a bottle you must partaken in besides.

[hulkbusted]

[It's okay, Tyrion, Bruce doesn't get anything out of King's Landing, either.]

You'll be back there in no time. As for other pleasures, I have other responsibilities, but thanks for your concern.

[pimphandoftheking]

[Damn these brainish types.]

A little reprieve is welcome. I'm learning to appreciate it.

[But seriously though, the real issue at hand.]

Are you a priest?

[hulkbusted]

No. It's a long story, but take my word for it, I'm better off staying straitlaced.

[pimphandoftheking]

Not even sweet meats?

[Uh oh. Now this is a game. Oops. Sorry Bruce. :( ]

[hulkbusted]

You mean like candied ham?

[You're no Tony Stark... yet.]

[pimphandoftheking]

No, not candied ham. Though now I wonder if that is also within your acceptable indulgences.

[What a very odd man you are, ser.]

I mean sweet meats like comfits.

[hulkbusted]

Yes.

[You don't know the half of it.]

Candies? Yes, I like sweets. Sometimes I even go wild and have ice cream for breakfast.

[pimphandoftheking]

Peacock?

[He's not a priest though? He must be a eunuch or something. Tyrion is trying to work it out and will never guess. May as well keep the game going.]

Sweets meaning cakes and pastries as well.

[hulkbusted]

It's never come up. I guess I'd try it if it were put in front of me.

[Since coming to the City it sometimes seems like it would be easier if he were a eunuch.]

I don't have anything against cakes or pastries. I don't have anything against most foods with a few exceptions. Why are you so fixated on food now?

[pimphandoftheking]

Do. You won't regret it.

[No wine. No women. Song without the other two is hardly worth mentioning.]

What manner of vice is acceptable for you, ser? I suspect it must be something consumed.

[hulkbusted]

I'll keep it in mind.

I did say I have ice cream for breakfast sometimes. Other than that I have my work.

[pimphandoftheking]

What manner of work?

[Because it sure as hell is not being a pimp. Maybe he is someone's banker.]

[hulkbusted]

[Given the nature of this guy's questioning, he's not going with "particle physics, biochemistry, and a recent focus on quantum physics."]

Science. I've been studying how this place works lately.

[pimphandoftheking]

And enough pleasure comes from the study of your science?

[He just wants to be completely sure he's following this line of logic because it does sound like an interesting hobby but would never be something to take to bed.]

[hulkbusted]

You're pretty hung up on the whole pleasure thing. I get by, but hedonism isn't a priority.

[pimphandoftheking]

Call it what you will, I prefer to enjoy what's worth enjoying while I am able to do so because we have no choice in the conditions we die. Only how we live our lives outside of circumstance and station. If your pursuits are fulfilling, I have a toast for you. My tastes run more expensive.

[hulkbusted]

If you think science isn't expensive... [A laugh, considering the lab he's been enjoying since coming here.]

I don't have the time or inclination to judge every person for having that kind of attitude. I just don't have the luxury of being like that myself.
