BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH!

The Ides of April don't look too good either.

--That's your free soothsaying for the day. I might have to charge for the next one.

[ooc: Yeah, meant to post this yesterday but...life. He thought you were all quite great yesterday, though. Really! I should note that he's actually pretty good with the soothsaying thing. Fortune-telling by cards too. Just sayin'. If you, for some reason, want that to happen >:3c]

The Ides of March was exciting enough -- hopefully April will be more reasonable.

You never know around this place, though!

I hope the Deities are at least creative, even if they make April unpleasant too.

[unflagging]

Yeah. It'd be a shame if they kept using the same tricks over and over. I think I'd get bored. Even in this place.

I'd also prefer to limit the amount of times I'm in danger of being stabbed in any given month.

...You mean that's why my friend tried to stab me with a spoon yesterday?

text

[unflagging]

Wow. A spoon? Terrible choice of weaponry there. Or excellent. I can't decide. I hear that being stabbed to death with spoons hurts more.

But I'd venture to say yes, that's exactly why.

The knife and fork had already been stabbed into him, thankfully, so I got lucky there. I can imagine death by spoons would be especially painful, though.

So soothsaying's like fortune telling or something, right?

\text

[unflagging]

So you were sort of relegated to death by spoon. By process of elimination. I'm still not sure if that's better or worse.

Pretty much, yeah.

I guess it makes a more interesting anecdote than a knife, either way.

Is that magic? I've been told there's lots of magic people here, but I haven't met any yet.

The Ides are just a date. It's irritating that they've become so symbolic just for one line in a play.

And the house winning is not a betrayal.

Text

[unflagging]

You got stabbed, didn't you? Or did you stab someone?

Re: Text

[deadmanbusiness]

If I had stabbed someone they'd be dead. Especially if it's being curse directed.

They tried to stab me.

Text

[unflagging]

"Tried," you say.

Re: Text

[deadmanbusiness]

People try to stab me all the time back home. I've gotten good reflexes.

[Such is Theo's life.]

I'm not that powerful, but I know how to get out of the way.

[makingastatement]

Charging the stab-happy? Not the smartest thing I've heard, pal.

[unflagging]

I'll charge them when they're not stab-happy. Easy-peasy.

[makingastatement]

And what do you charge for stating the obvious?

[unflagging]

Nothing--for the people who realize it's obvious.

[makingastatement]

You're either a good con or a bad businessman.

[hexuality]

I don't suppose you've got a crystal ball to go along with that, have you, Rory?

[unflagging]

No, I don't. Which is too bad, really. It'd add a lot to the act, wouldn't it?

[Yes. Yes, he does. Do you want the pink one or the black one? Or maybe the red one?]

[hexuality]

I've got a professor back home who'd be offended if she heard it called an act.

[unflagging]

Clearly, it's not an act for her. Such, I think, is one of the differences between worlds.

[hexuality]

Not too surprised to hear it exists, hm?
