[ sounding kind of... reluctantly amused... ]

Dunno I'd call that good of mankind, really.

voice

[atrumcanis]

Yeah? And how does it detract from mankind, eh? It doesn't. Therefore, process of elimination, by default, ipso facto, it must be for the good.

Don't argue with me, I studied philosophy.

[girlyboywonder]

Detracts their shoes.

[atrumcanis]

The shoes of womankind. Not mankind. A subtle parsing, but there you are.

[icy_heavens]

[Not amused at all, unsuprisingly.] That hardly seems like use for the "good of mankind."

Voice

[atrumcanis]

So you're seeking restitution?

Voice

[icy_heavens]

No. I just think you're being an idiot. [And he very much did not look at that woman falling out of her shoes.]

Voice

[atrumcanis]

Yes, well done, and I think that you haven't a sense of humour, but you don't see me going about making direct statements about it--because what does personal feeling have to do with the good of mankind, eh?

What a public service from you...

If one person derives pleasure and enjoyment from my efforts, mate, I consider it a job well done--though how the masses complain!

[phaseshifts]

A simple celebration of all your powers being back to normal?

[atrumcanis]

A celebration of a great many things. Powers, normalcy, safety, happiness, springtime, goodwill, mankind itself.... I can think of any number of things that require celebrating. And what finer way than helping my aforementioned fellow man!

Why would you do something like that? And you better not send me a dead cat!

[atrumcanis]

Why would I do something like that?

[quackery]

I mean the shoe thing!

[atrumcanis]

Oh, well. I didn't do something like that, so don't worry your darling head, darling.

[proxysearch]

Remind me not to take that way home.

[atrumcanis]

Oi, darling.

[proxysearch]

Hello, Sirius. How many have you gotten so far?

[atrumcanis]

Nah, what I was going to say was, "oi, darling, don't come this way". But if we're moving straight to pleasantries--well, I'll still have to decline to comment. You can't expect me to entrap and tell. I am a gentleman.
