Time is a dare, and I'm trying too...

[allfireburns]

Oh, fine, fine, flist, I give in.

Step One: Look at Ye Olde Character List.
Step Two: Break out your character journals and have them ask my characters questions. If they have no questions, have them... I dunno. Say a word or random phrase and I'll throw a character at them to talk about that word or phrase and they can have existential debates about paperclips if that's their kink. The point is random, pointless, stressfree CR. If you demand an explanation out of one of my characters or have legitimate questions, personally and OOC-ly, I can also deal with that.
Step Three: There is no step three.

I feel like my character list is missing things. Huh. Also, for some reason, LJ hates Barrowman. It has EATEN most of the icons that belong to my Barrowman characters. ...All two of them.

Is it appropriate to use the universal law of increasing entropy to explain why, no matter what, the universe only gets more fucking INSANE from day to day?

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

[Ida] That is the best explanation I've ever managed to find. Then, I thought it might just be a side effect of my job.

[jexec.livejournal.com]

At least it gives you one thread of sanity to hold to in an insane universe. Then you get smartasses like Poul asking if clinging in the first place is a sane way of dealing with things.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

[Ida] And the alternative to clinging is... what? Stepping over the edge of the cliff?

[jexec.livejournal.com]

I don't even know any more. Never questioning anything? Just going with it? Yeah, those are all ways to say stepping off a cliff without the metaphor, aren't they.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

[Ida] More or less. If it helps, the literal action of stepping off a cliff doesn't always end badly. I still wouldn't recommend it, though.

[jexec.livejournal.com]

It'd kinda depend on the cliff, though. You know, some go down into dense-atmosphere pockets, some go down into gravitational singularities, some go down into the burrows of really unhappy velkers.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

[Ida] There would have to be something extremely nasty at the top for me to consider taking the risk. Unless you're the type who does that sort of thing for fun on your days off - in which case, by all means, enjoy your unhappy velkers.

[jexec.livejournal.com]

Yyyyeah, I'm not really a cliff sort of guy. Usually by the time you hit the ground, you've really started to regret jumping in the first place.

...did we wind up dealing with metaphors again? Fuck. I can't even tell any more.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

[Ida] We may have. We can stop, if you like, before we pack on a few more levels of metaphor and nobody understands what's going on anymore.

[jexec.livejournal.com]

...to be honest, I'm not sure I understood what was going on when we started.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

[Ida] You started the conversation and you're still not sure? Do you have this trouble talking to people normally, or is this an off day?

[jexec.livejournal.com]

Maybe that was the point of what I was saying. In a kind of... recursive... way.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

[Ida] Somehow that's not as believable as I think you'd like it to be.

[jexec.livejournal.com]

Or maybe by virtue of the fact that it doesn't support a prevailing sense, it instead supports the spirit of the conversation much better? No?

This is why I should never have a conversation without knNEVER MIND

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

[Ida] ...No. Although that was impressive. I'll give you high marks for effort, at least, even if it's a bit lacking in substance.

[jexec.livejournal.com]

Well, high marks in something are appreciated. I think.
