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.

Text

[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.

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

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

Text

[unflagging]

Oh yeah. That too.

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Were you unlucky enough to get stabbed yesterday?

Text

[unflagging]

Nope! I'm one of the lucky few who only has the holes he's supposed to and no extras.

What about you? Or are you nursing a gaping wound?

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Remarkably, I avoided it too. Congratulations.

Hey--good for us.

Maybe we ought to give some advice on How Not To Get Stabbed to everyone else. What do you think?

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Only if we can charge for it.

[Free advice? Never.]

Text

[unflagging]

We can charge for it.

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

The first piece of advice probably starts something like 'avoid people with large knives.'

Text

[unflagging]

Or small knives. You have to avoid the small knives too, you know.

I'd say we should say something like, "Try not to make too many enemies" but I don't think that's very good advice from what I saw yesterday.

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Sad that it even has to be said, but "Think before you stab" might apply to a fair number of people here.

Text

[unflagging]

If they even CAN, man.

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Which is why my other piece of advice might be "If you stab someone without thinking about it first, apologize profusely and then run."

Text

[unflagging]

"Be sure to keep the number of a good florist on hand because you will probably want to make some apologies after the fact."

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

And for the person who got stabbed: "Whatever you do, don't stab them back, or you'll get stuck in an endless cycle."

Text

[unflagging]

Oh, come on. Isn't that how the world works? I stab your back, you stab mine?

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Some worlds. Mine included.

Text

[unflagging]

So it's accurate.

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Accurate, but unfortunate. Do you actually charge for soothsaying?

Text

[unflagging]

Let's call it "fortune-telling."

I have been known to :)

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

That's a pretty good scam.
