[Video opens on a ceiling. That's about it, really. Some smoke wafts about on the screen from time to time, but it's still, really, just a ceiling. John's voice comes from the side.You know...waaaay back when I first got here, I addressed everyone here as assholes. Some brat with a superiority complex called me out on it, but it didn't do much.

She said she was intimate with people as a service which mentions some sort of payment. That is a prostitute. A geisha very rarely had sex with people for money and those who did were usually of a lower class.

[Here her tone leaves the calm area. There are two important things to her: family and culture. You just insulted one of them, John.]

Do not speak of things you do not understand.

[Good job, Misaki, at not doing your homework.]

She mentioned getting picked up at a young age. Religious studies, dance, martial arts, calligraphy, music. Isn't that what a geisha had to do to take on her status? Did you totally miss her talking about companionship outside of sex? Or the fact of the matter that she could pick and choose her clients?

But all that aside, dear God in heaven, the fact of the matter that you, a young woman, are more insulted by the idea that history was written by the winners and geisha totally never had sex ever at all unless they were low class, instead of being offended by the lack of class, manners, and the all-out slut-shaming that's going on is fucking astounding. Good job at helping to set women back by being more ticked off that it may not be exactly akin to a geisha rather than the fact of the matter that a woman, new as well, is being harassed...good fucking job.

[You seem to be of the opinion that she cares about this person who she does not know. Silly John.]

You are speaking about a subject that you do not understand. The woman compared herself with a geisha, however, it was only the geisha outside of Edo who had sex with men for money. When you exchange sexual favors for compensation you are a prostitute.

If her feelings are hurt that is unfortunate. However it does not change the truth.

[And since she believes John to be the type to refuse to accept that he is wrong she cuts the feed.]

[John a knight off-white armor. These things do happen.]

You wanna do it now?

[Christine is... proud for lack of a better word.]

Wow, that was unexpected. It's a good thing you're doing. Most people have no right to judge anyone else.

[Video]

[satangotmylungs]

[John is still out of the frame.]

Not so much the judging as the total disgusting behavior.

[Video]

[nurse1701]

Agreed. For once I'm think you are absolutely right.

[satangotmylungs]

And here people say that miracles never happen.

[Colour McCoy very proud.]

You know, I have to thank you for saying what you've said, Mr Constantine.

[Aw, was this all he had to do? Really?]

Nah, you ain't gotta. It's really just good manners.

[Video::Locked]

[spacedrmccoy]

Sadly manners doesn't seem to be shared by most.

Ehh, different worlds may have their different things, but you'd think some things would be universal.

What are you, champion of prostitutes?

[At the new voice, John sits up to see who's talking. Oh dear.]

What if I am?

[axecerbic]

I'd say you're wasting your goddamn time, that's what.

And why the hell would I give a damn what you have to say?
