Tea Party with Captive Listener

Oct 13, 2011 18:46

[You find yourself sitting at a lovely table with all the trimmings, this unusually warm October evening. Above the table is a sign:]

UNLOAD YOUR PROBLEMS ON THIS DUDE

[The arrow points down to ZEX. He sighs, and pours you tea.]

I suppose you might as well. I have no other plans for the evening.

I suppose that would assume I have some problems, which I don't.

Oddly enough.

takeme2urpants October 14 2011, 01:54:14 UTC

You are in a most enviable position, then. ♥ How do you take your tea?

livedtwice October 14 2011, 01:56:38 UTC

Sweetened, with not too much milk.

... And you are?

takeme2urpants October 14 2011, 01:59:45 UTC

[Preparing~]

I am Admiral ZEX. Apparently I have not been as social as I might have been, and so I am here this evening.

livedtwice October 14 2011, 02:06:34 UTC

It was a lot easier the first time I was here, but I think people were unsettled then.

takeme2urpants October 14 2011, 02:08:52 UTC

The first time? You left and returned, then?

livedtwice October 14 2011, 02:51:00 UTC

I had a brief stay in August. It was when all the others came in, too.

takeme2urpants October 14 2011, 02:55:23 UTC

Oh! Goodness, that was a rather chaotic time, yes. How soon after did you return?

livedtwice October 14 2011, 02:56:28 UTC

A week.

It was properly confusing, and then when I got here, a lot of people were worried about this month.

Perhaps I'm missing things, but there hasn't been a whole lot of anything going on. I don't want to say I'm disappointed, but ... I have to admit I am a little. Which isn't really fair to anyone.

livedtwice October 14 2011, 02:56:50 UTC

Er, I guess I did have some trouble after all.

takeme2urpants October 14 2011, 03:03:28 UTC

It is entirely fair to feel this way. I am occasionally thankful that this place sends us corporeal dangers and evils, as there is something satisfying in being able to make a marked, positive change to this place. If, this year, it decides to hold itself back, many people would be very frustrated. That could, indeed, be the purpose behind holding back.

It is complex, is it not? I am sorry that you, too, feel this way.

livedtwice October 14 2011, 03:04:40 UTC

If it holds back, it might also just be that it's coming later.

takeme2urpants October 14 2011, 03:09:53 UTC

Very true. I do hope that it does not come during the Christmas season, I love that holiday.

livedtwice October 14 2011, 03:11:05 UTC

... I'd like to say I'd be surprised if it struck then, but I really wouldn't be.

takeme2urpants October 14 2011, 03:15:35 UTC

It would be a great shame, and therefore a prime target.

...[Gonna eat a scone now]

livedtwice October 14 2011, 03:19:41 UTC

Then perhaps tomorrow will be quite difficult instead.
