Question One: How do you view the community?

Is it malevolent or simply a force? Are its viruses and who they affect randomized, or does it have a goal? When it chooses to allow some people's fates to be altered and some others are stuck as they are, why is that? Or do you just not think about it too much?

Question Two: Is being missed by a romantic virus for once worth breaking out one of my better teas for?

One of those mixed blessings, I guess that's how I see it...I haven't given it much thought.

As for the tea, I can't think of an occasion where tea wouldn't be appropriate so it's as good a time as any to break out the good stuff.

[unknownrival]

You may be happier that way.

Very well. For a small, personal celebration - the good stuff.

[chuanifrinn]

Well, it's not a regret at least, I'm glad for a temporary escape.

Atta boy!

[unknownrival]

I would have hardly any friends if this didn't exist.

[chuanifrinn]

Charming as you are? Get outta here!

[unknownrival]

I'm not charming. I've just been here long enough to wear people down.

[didiscareyouyet]

A book! [Misunderstood the question.]

[unknownrival]

Not quite what I meant.

[didiscareyouyet]

Oh. What did you mean?

[unknownrival]

More like what you think about it.

[didiscareyouyet]

It's really neat, huh? There's a lot of nice people here who would usually be scary.

Don't you like it?

[unknownrival]

I like the people, not so much the community itself.

[aquaticrush]

Um-- congratulations, I think!

[unknownrival]

Thank you.

[aquaticrush]

Maybe it decided to make you happy this time.

[unknownrival]

It kind of owes me.

[aquaticrush]

I'm still really sorry.

[unknownrival]

In no way is it your fault.

[second_star]

You're thinking about things too much. Far as I see, it's random as hell.

[unknownrival]

I start to see patterns after a few years.

[second_star]

Yeah? How so?

[unknownrival]

I've been a woman four times. I have a bad reaction to being a woman. It's almost as if it's entertaining.

[second_star]

That's not a pattern. Sounds more like plain bad luck. Besides, it does sound kind of funny.

[remembermeandrun]

Just a force, I'd say. Haven't seen it do anything particularly bad, and well. 'S nice to have a bit of proper human contact. Sort of begs the question of why it chooses the people it does, though.

[unknownrival]

Oh, I'm glad to have my friends here as well. It's the only thing that makes it worth it for me.
