Now look, I acted a little stupid last week. But to be perfectly fair, you kids could have been a lot more cooperative. I think we all learned something valuable that day. That you kids should avoid people with bags and that I don't like any kids but my own.

Anyways, we'll be getting new feathers soon. Anyone care to make a gentleman's wager on what the first one will be like? I'm going to go with teenage girl, perky and annoying, and dressed way skimpier than she ought to be. Any takers?

Hm... if you're going to go the skimpy route.... hm. I'll say a teenaged boy who only has his mind on perky teenage girls who dress way too skimpy.

[hageshii]

Nice try, but that's all teenage boys. Care to try something more specific?

[goldenglasses]

But the broader I am the more likely I am to win!

[hageshii]

It's a gentleman's wager. The only thing you win is respect. The amount of respect you win is directly proportionate to how close you are to the mark.

[goldenglasses]

Hm. Fine. How about a giant lizard with six eyes and smelly feet.

[hageshii]

You're on!

[goldenglasses]

I think... I'm going to hope you win.

[hageshii]

You're one of those teenage boys, huh?

[goldenglasses]

No; I just don't want my place stepped on.

[hageshii]

Fair enough.

Are you betting on New Feathers?

[ voice ]

[hageshii]

Something wrong with that?

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

I think all female New Feathers show up dressed skimpier than they ought to be.

In the snow.

[hageshii]

Yeah, but I was talking about their normal preference for clothing.

[herotypical]

Are you seriously betting on who'll get stuck in this hell-hole?

[hageshii]

What of it?

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

I wasn't aware you were an arbiter of tasteful clothing choices for young women where you came from.

I thought you were an entertainer.

[herotypical]

Just seems a little...ubercallous.

[hageshii]

Every father has a built in instinct for knowing exactly what a young woman shouldn't wear. [Even if the only kid you have is a boy.]

[hageshii]

We haven't met. I'm Goroh and I don't give a damn. Nice to meet you.

[herotypical]

I'm Buffy, and I've been trying to not give a damn for years. Turns out it doesn't work that way.

[Pause.] But, sure--nice to meet you, too.

[ voice ]

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

Oh no, that's such a perfect legitimate past time.

[goldenglasses]

Although honestly it would be best if no one else came here I guess.

[not_meatbuns]

Mr. Goroh... do you place bets like this every time new feathers come in?

[hageshii]

As you can see, it took me a lot longer to become the desensitized asshole I am today. But don't worry, it'll come to you in time.

Care to make a wager?
