☆006-Between the half and the half nots.

Feb 09, 2010 20:22

Y'know, I've got nothing against the auction itself. Hell, it's a fun little idea. A good time had by all, etc, etc.

There's just one little thing.

Two-for-one deal? Really?

I'd ask if this was a joke, but if it is, it looks like one that it's too late to take back.

Well, maybe they can split you up if there's a bidding war.

live_ringer February 10 2010, 02:42:40 UTC

Well, that's one way to deal with a tie-breaker, true.

feathered_earth February 10 2010, 03:25:41 UTC

It's not that terrible, is it? I think it'd make for an interesting date, really.

live_ringer February 10 2010, 03:42:57 UTC

It's... the principle of the thing.

[There are too many reasons why it bothers him, not all of which he remembers but if she asks he'll elaborate. Or try to.]

It is rather annoying, yes. What if the bidders only want a 'date' with one of you two?

live_ringer February 10 2010, 02:47:29 UTC

Good question. Either they're stuck with extra baggage or one of us gets thrown back like the fish that's too small?

burntorangesky February 10 2010, 03:15:45 UTC

I suppose that would be Aim, then? Since I hear tell you are a smidge taller.

live_ringer February 10 2010, 03:24:20 UTC

That he would be. If there's any extra height then that's the one difference I have a hard time telling, but then, I'm at a shite vantage point to see it.

desig_survivor February 10 2010, 02:59:05 UTC

Are you two related or something? Seems a bit crass to set things up like that.

live_ringer February 10 2010, 03:13:55 UTC

Well, there is a bit of a family resemblance. Just a touch.

desig_survivor February 10 2010, 03:28:53 UTC

Oh. [Sudden surge of envy.]

And someone's still buying your time together? You're marketed like a matched set.

live_ringer February 10 2010, 03:39:32 UTC

So it seems. It's the matched set pitch that irks the hell out of me. It's not as if looking alike means we're one unit.

Hey, I'd take both of you.
I would, but my money is a bit tied up right now.

live_ringer February 10 2010, 03:57:54 UTC

I'd almost say that's flattering, but considering I have a good idea of who's got you 'tied up' I have to wonder.

grab_my_bells February 10 2010, 04:08:18 UTC

I didn't think there was much to wonder about. It should be very flattering. Two brothers in one go.

If he even bids on me, then we'll see if he'll really tie me up.

live_ringer February 10 2010, 05:01:32 UTC

Ehhh. Forgive me for not seeing the appeal.

Have fun, you crazy kids.

Am I the last person in the sphere that didn't realize you had a twin?

live_ringer February 10 2010, 04:22:48 UTC

Nah, probably not. Not like we publicized it.

But hey, that is a plus. People will be less likely to mix us up now that there's a photographic comparison to pass around.

man_genius February 10 2010, 04:26:42 UTC

Must be nice to have a real twin. Think of all the pranks you guys could play. Does make the date weird though.

I'll keep that in mind if I ever meet him in person.

live_ringer February 10 2010, 05:13:17 UTC

It's... something to get used to, here. Though, I assume I was more familiar with it at one time.

Good to know.
