Twenty Purple Files

[proudambassador]

This gold monstrosity, this, it is not a cape.

It is a death trap.

Six times I have tripped! SIX! And my work, it is over the bridges! I begin to think the Sphere wishes for me to fall to my death because of a cape! Who even wears a cape, hm? A cape, it has no use. It has no function. Except to get under my feet.

Maybe the Sphere is trying to teach you coordination.

[proudambassador]

Yes. Perhaps it wants me to dance for everyone, hm? A show. Pah.

[notpissedoff]

You wouldn't fall to your death off a bridge. You'd just keep falling.

[proudambassador]

Until I starved, no? That, it is death.

[notpissedoff]

I highly doubt you'd fall that long without someone noticing and tossing you a rope.

[proudambassador]

You think so? Myself, I am not so sure. Perhaps others, they will think it is some sort of Tree thing, large Centauri falling from the sky.

[sixthsinner]

I don't suppose you've tried cutting it off.

[proudambassador]

Twice, yes. It was restored nearly instantly.

[sixthsinner]

Too bad. Well, I'm sure you look very regal.

[proudambassador]

Regal, yes. Stupid, also yes.

[togana_keiri]

It could be worse. At least it's just an annoying cape.

[proudambassador]

Yes. This is true. I could be in a skirt as well, hm? And what of you, my dear girl? What are you in?

[togana_keiri]

Not enough. Something like what you just said but there's just not enough. I'm not going outside until this goes away.

[proudambassador]

I am not a kind person, and I do not need hangers-on, but if you would like I can bring food to your door until it does.

[desertshadows]

They do go swoosh rather nicely, though!

[proudambassador]

It goes swoosh, I go swoosh, and then I am on the ground. Nice, it is not the word I would use.

[desertshadows]

So, more 'painful'? Does it stay up if you pin it?

[proudambassador]

Yes. That, it is a more accurate word.

Pin it? A cape? This, I had not thought of. I shall try it.
