Two of those weekends in one month. I don't remember that ever happening, for as long as I've been here. Does that kind of chaos better serve the Deities' aims, I wonder? Is it due to sensory adaptation, to the fact that curses don't shock us as much as they used to? One would think bringing new Citizens into captivity would compensate for that, but maybe isn't enough.

Or maybe it's just a clerical error.

Needless to say, I hope it doesn't become a pattern. Though, at least if it did, we'd just get used to it.

Patterns, patterns.

[as_damaged]

Do you find them trustworthy?

[synanthrope]

It depends entirely on the patten, Dr. Cameron.

[as_damaged]

Patterns of curses are what I have in mind.

[synanthrope]

How does one trust a curse?

[as_damaged]

That isn't what I meant.

[And she's fairly sure you know what she meant.]

[synanthrope]

You ought to be clearer.

[A pause]

What size shoe do you wear?

[as_damaged]

Why do you ask?

[synanthrope]

Curiosity.

[as_damaged]

Seven.

[orangetoughguy]

You think a lot.

[as_damaged]

Talking about curses has replaced talking about the weather, here. What else is there to think about?

[orangetoughguy]

What do you do for fun?

[as_damaged]

A lot of thinking.

I watch old movies. I exercise a lot. I read. Why do you ask?

[orangetoughguy]

Good to hear cause I didn't think you were that boring.

[as_damaged]

Glad I could reassure you.

Depends on what their aims are.

As for the curses, well, I'm only speaking for myself but I still find them pretty shocking.

I don't mean to imply that curses aren't a problem, or that novel ones can't be shocking. But it's psychological fact that when you've been exposed to a stimulus long enough-- no matter how bizarre-- its intensity seems to lessen.

Also depends on how you think of it to begin with.

Been here a long time?

audio ][

[as_damaged]

About two and a half years. I'd call that a long while, though there are others who've been here much longer.

They weren't too bad. At least you were only meant to be the dog's stepmum.

[as_damaged]

Being only tangentially involved was still more involved than I'd have liked.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Come on. It was funny. Shame they didn't keep it - think of the paychecks spent on dog therapy.

[as_damaged]

I think it's Ed's dog, actually.

Then there's still a chance he could sue House for fees.

[as_damaged]

I have a feeling it won't come up.

Curses aside, how's it going?

[as_damaged]

Curses included, it's the same as ever.
