A conversation with 4_20_100 :
"No."
"It is merely a sigil, you know, what's the harm?"
"NO. Real life, Nexus. Real life, Nexus." Insert applicable ne'er the twain shall meet gestures. "Nexians wear it, real people don't." Picking up on line and scansion, I continued:
"I do not want to--no I won't!
Just listen to these words of mine,
'I will not wear your Yellow Sign!'
I do not like this in the least,
So leave me be, you crazy beast!"
"AAAAAAAGH, not Seussian verse!"
But I wasn't done:
"You see yon Elder Sign upon my door?
Why would I need to be vexed more?
I--"
"ENOUGH!" he howled with a great rending of yellow garments between sharp teeth. Eeeesh, what a drama-llama, I thought, before I remembered one of his domains was theatre. Then it made a weird kind of sense. "Enough of this word-smithery!"
"Hey, that's why you moved in, as I recall."
"..."
I took that as a win. No Yellow Sign for me.
For now.
