#18: The road very much not taken

[horrible_phd]

If there's a blonde princess or maybe just someone who was a princess during the curse a few days ago, I'm very sorry about the whole trying to tie you to the train tracks thing.  I mean, I couldn't really help it, but still, sorry.  Also, I think everything I was trying to say yesterday came out as Latin.  I don't actually speak Latin, but I don't

Mmm. I believe that would be me. And curse or not, I'm glad to see you have the decency to apologize for it anyway.

[horrible_phd]

I would have let someone save you eventually, whatever happened. At least I'd like to think so.

Er, cursed today?

[primrosella]

Yes, well, it was fortunate my friend Blue was there, even if he was acting a bit silly himself. You weren't injured when he leapt to my rescue, were you?

A bit. Don't worry, though. I'm hardly dangerous.

[horrible_phd]

No, no, not at all. Actually, I was a bit worried you might have been when I, um, shoved you at him while he was still holding a sword.

What is it with felines today? I keep getting spammed with pictures of kittens. And a kitten with a lion. And also some other weird things that aren't felines at all.

Ah, so it was Latin.

Good idea, a welcome center.

[ooc: All links are IC, they all go to random macros as Mickey's cursed with the Meme Day curse today.]

[horrible_phd]

That's a lot of macros.

I thought so. I guess people would have to be convinced to donate money towards it to get it going, so that might be difficult, I don't know.

[lovingmybamfgun]

Or we should start paying taxes.

[horrible_phd]

But...the money would go to the deities, right? And I bet they want people to be confused as possible when they get here.

[livingmyths]

Hi! I was dared so...

[horrible_phd]

You were dared to post a lolcat? Not that I mind cute pictures of kittens or anything, I just seem to be getting an awful lot of them today.

[livingmyths]

I was! I think he's cursed. Me? I just want to play truth or dare!

[horrible_phd]

Okay. You might be cursed too, you know...

Truth--what's your favorite place in the city?

[somekindofsin]

You know, a welcome center is a brilliant idea. You ought to find someone with organizational skills and convince them that it's a worthy endeavor.

[horrible_phd]

If you can think of anyone in particular, let me know.

By the way, have you had any luck getting rid of the smell of smoke?

[ooc: going with the assumption they've experienced the consequences of their escapade, which he remembers, if not exactly as it happened.]

[somekindofsin]

Certainly!

Hm? Why would you want to get rid of it?

[ooc: Assume away. ^^]

[horrible_phd]

For one thing, my roommate's been complaining.

Seriously, it doesn't bother you at all?

[mis_match]

I hope you aren't planning to spend Valentine's alone, Dr. Horrible, just because your lady friend isn't here.

[horrible_phd]

I probably will, I mean, unless I end up hanging out with other people who don't have anything to do. I don't really mind, I mean, I miss her but it's sort of nice to know I have someone special, even if she's far away.

You seem...different today.

[mis_match]

Aren't you sweet. I would be more than happy to keep you company, in case the pang of loneliness becomes too much to bear.

Is different a bad thing?

[horrible_phd]

Er, thanks for the offer but that's really not necessary.

Well, not always, but around here someone being "different" generally equates to someone being cursed.
