In amongst all these awfully important questions, I think a riddle is in order. An oldie, but a goodie, in my humble opinion.

Everyone was on a first name basis until suddenly someone got something in his eye. What happened?

If you get the right answer, you'll get nothing but the satisfaction that you got it right.

[No, wait, he can make it fun for him, too.]

...That and a mystery gift.

I've noticed. [Just the thought of it makes Dairine sound grumpier than before.]

I don't see why it should be that way though, or why you should imitate it.

[onlyanapple]

It's that way because it is. There's no getting around it. And I imitate it because I am one of those beings that keeps running things as they're supposed to be.

I apologise for tiny Dairine ;;

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine thinks back to memories of getting shoved into the asphalt while others laugh, and mentally decides she doesn't like this guy. Not if he's helping keep that cycle going.]

Anyone smack your head in for it yet?

never a need for this :3

[onlyanapple]

Most of them are unaware of my existence, so no.

thank goodness for that because she's only going to get worse :3

[wizard_redfive]

They should. [Blunt, as usual. Tiny Dairine has even less know-how of when to keep her thoughts to herself.]

How are they unaware of your existence? You like the Boogeyman or something?

[onlyanapple]

No, I'm not. I just work in the shadows, if I don't want them to see me, they don't.

[wizard_redfive]

But you're not actually invisible.

[onlyanapple]

I can if I want to be.

[wizard_redfive]

How does that work?

[onlyanapple]

I don't know, infernal powers. It's like me asking you how you breathe.

[wizard_redfive]

Powers? Are you a mutant or something?

[onlyanapple]

...No. Not even slightly.

[wizard_redfive]

Oh. What a bummer.

[onlyanapple]

Why? Do you have a fetish or something?

Sorry for the lateness, rl kicked my butt for a bit there

[wizard_redfive]

Because mutants are cool. There are comics for them and everything.

no worries, I was away anyway lol

[onlyanapple]

Oh. Comics. People tend to enjoy those.

Nerdy people.

[fearbringer]

No, he's not.

[wizard_redfive]

Well you said you were invisible.

[fearbringer]

Ah. I thought you were asking if he was the Boogeyman.

[wizard_redfive]

Of course not. I still don't believe in that kind of thing.

[fearbringer]

You're too young to be so skeptical.
