I take you aren't feeling any better...? of course, I didn't help things at all.
I should have known better. I feel like a complete and utter fool.
Mmm. I'll be back in a bit. I'm off checking on the cats as well as getting something.
[/Theta]
As a bit of a rough estimate, it seems that, at minimum, 66 per cent of the castle has taken down ill. I wonder how much longer until it starts reaching 90 per cent.
I'm surprised very few people have concluded that you all must've caught something. Considering the fact we were all human recently, AND that there were a high quantity of mosquitoes and unclean water... well, the most logical conclusion is that a grand majority of us were infected with some sort of disease. Something in the bloodstream or the intestinal track, perhaps.
no subject
Of course.
I think it's...part of my charm.
I do like surprises.
[/Koschei]
[wry amusement] Perhaps it likes you.
no subject
I'm just... worried.
It is, Theta. Just sometimes it gets you into a bit more trouble than if you didn't have it.
Then I shall try to make it something to your liking.
[Theta]
[teasingly] If it liked me, shouldn't I be the one ill?
no subject
I...I know. I shouldn't have - I'm...fairly certain I...accelerated it. Need to...make up for that.
If I didn't get...into trouble, I don't...think I'd know...what to do with myself.
[/Koschei]
[written] That's another way to look at it. I'm simply more popular with the bacteria than you.
no subject
No. I'm at fault. Not you.
You'd have to get a hobby, my dear. Something less lethal.
[/Theta]
I think that is a popularity contest where it is much better to be losing.
no subject
You didn't...force me to run after you.
Perhaps I should...take up knitting.
[Koschei]
Aren't most?
no subject
I caused you to run after me.
[he laughs a bit] You're becoming rather domestic, love.
[/Theta]
Ahhhh, some aren't too terrible.
no subject
...Well, yes, but...
[playfully indignant] Rubbish. I can make a new scarf!
[/Koschei]
I suppose it depends on the voters.
no subject
Then I hit you. I think you're less to blame than I.
[purposely exaggerating, rolling eyes] Please, Theta, one of those monstrocities was enough for seven millenia.
[/Theta]
And what type of popularity was being voted upon.
no subject
Hmm, yes, I'll grant you that. [tad pointedly] At least I have no lasting damage, directly.
[the pout is evident in his voice] You didn't like it?
[/Koschei]
How many types are there?
no subject
I suppose when I'm threatened with the thought of losing someone I love...
[head turned up, disapprovingly] I thought it was horrible. Not to mention, I doubt it'd look good on you.
[/Theta]
You can have popularity amongst the intellectuals, of course. The upper crust socialites. The gangs of streets, so on and so forth, but its very rare they have any sort of polling together.
no subject
[he speaks very softly, and very firmly]
There was never any chance of that.
[and the pout deepens] It was very stylish and very handy, I'll have you know.
[/Koschei]
I don't think they need it. Polling rarely reflects the majority anyway.
no subject
I know, but... call it a weakness from an irrational fear.
[he peers down] It'd look terrible on you - unless you used a different, more matching colour, at least.
[/Theta]
It only reflects those who bothered to show up.
no subject
Perhaps if you apologise to Lucy. ...I'm quite aware that she started it all, but you're not the one with a limp.
[gazes up petulantly] Beige?
[/Koschei]
Precisely - and those who told the truth, and those who weren't disregarded...
no subject
I'll not apologise to her. She'll get over her limp soon enough.
[he smirks] Perhaps... [he leans down] I think... you only want the scarf so you can throw it around me.
[/Theta]
At least it proves an interesting insight into mentalities of voters.
