regarding homelessness

[monoculi]

So your game plan consists of... scrutinising various options and flapping?

Y'know, I hate to break it to you, but flapping does not an application write, my friend.

P.S. Congrats on the icons. Of course, not a single one has the patch, but I'm sure you won't let a basic requirement like that get in the way of your crazy.

You'd know all about flapping. Isn't that what you do all the time with those gums of yours?

[monoculi]

Three words, Cordy: Pot. Kettle. Black.

[tact]

[ SO YOU MAY HAVE A POINT. ]

And yet when your gums flap, only uselessness and the sudden desire to yawn seem to follow.

[monoculi]

[damn straight!]

Uhuh. And when your gums start to flap, nothing follows. Because everything is fleeing desperately in the opposite direction.

[xenamorph]

Take it with a grain of salt. My mun didn't give me a bashed-in head, either.

[monoculi]

Oh don't worry, I'm definitely savouring the salty flavour of indifference. I just appreciate a little consistency from time to time.

...also, sorry to hear about your bashed-in head.

[xenamorph]

In fairness, I kinda knew I'd die going on. I got the guy I was supposed to get before I went, though, so I'll take it.

[monoculi]

[Xander looks a leeeetle bit nervous about this talk of 'getting' people.]

...you knew you'd die 'going on'?

[bigbad]

Flapping.

I'd ask about it, but that'd involve caring about the answer.

[monoculi]

Why don't you invest in a dictionary, Spike? You'll find it under 'F'.

[bigbad]

Oh, I can think of all sorts of good f-words without the aid of a dictionary. But you and your pals never seem to limit yourselves to what words actually mean.

[monoculi]

Well, in this case, the meaning was literal.

[magnifies]

The patch? Something tells me that's not an attempt at kicking the habit.

[monoculi]

Alas, no. It's an eyepatch - for my eye. Or rather, for the socket formerly known as my eye.

[magnifies]

Oh. Wow. Okay, that was totally not tactful of me at all.

[ awkward. ]

Sorry.

[monoculi]

[have a reassuring smile!]

Oh, pfft, no - don't be sorry at all. I'm not. I mean, having two eyes does have its advantages. But on the other hand, I have an icebreaker for life at parties.

[herotypical]

Hey. Don't diss a good flapping. It's good for the soul.

...I think.

[monoculi]

Sooooo, next time we're staring mortal danger in the face, can I expect you to greet it with some spirited flapping?

[herotypical]

[ wellll thanks to the game she's stuck inhabiting, she does happen to have wings now. and they do flap. rather prettily, she might add.

but she won't. won't add. ]

Hey. Mortal danger? A few notches higher on the priority pole than application writing. There may in fact be a threshold of allowed flappability.

[destinedtosee]

Well, it could always be worse. If your mun were anything like mine, she might have been tempted to paint a parrot onto your shoulder simply for her own amusement.

[monoculi]

I don't know, Giles. A parrot might bring some welcome comic relief to the situation.

[destinedtosee]

Please don't encourage her.

[watchher]

I'm afraid that insanity seems to be a common affliction among them. It's something of a prerequisite for this... hobby.

Though the, ah-- the young woman at the keyboard does offer her condolences, regarding... the difficulties of finding icons. Or-- making them, for that matter. She's just spent a truly alarming amount of time searching the internet for, um, images from when I was younger.

[ jpeg caps of shows from the seventies. The things I do for de-aging events and Giles' humiliation. ]

[monoculi]

[Oh dear, Xander actually looks slightly intrigued.]

Images of when you were younger, huh? Sorry Giles, I'm with the typist on this one. My interest is all kinds of piqued.

[watchher]

Oh, for god's sake-- don't encourage her, she's difficult enough as it is.

[ Yes, there's nothing to see here.

But seriously, look how adorable he is. ]
