099 Diagnosis

[vicodincrutch]

Let me guess, you're lonely. You go to parties and sit in the corner of the room looking longingly at the throng hoping that one of them will approach you and begin that fairytale come true. The clock is ticking, all the elasticity is being worn out in your face. You're holding onto your youth as though it's life itself. How much longer til you fall all the way over the hill and hit the bottom? Who knows. Studies have shown that being without close human contact shortens your life.

That's why you need this guy. Take a look. He has all of his teeth and is house trained too. Those are not hair plugs. Take a good look at him. Already you like him. Blond, blue eyed. Not fat. It doesn't matter what his personality is, does it? It doesn't even matter what  he does for a living. (He's a doctor if you have to know.) This is the one. Why? Because he's so attainable. Just for you.

Bidding starts at one Orange.

You wouldn't happen to be trying to get Ms. Montenegro to go higher than an indigo for you, would you?

Still, you make quite an offer--too good, I think, to pass up. One indigo it is.

You have to do it in public or it doesn't count.

She's raised you four more greens.

Ah, a determined opponent, I see.

Hmm. Well, they do say that fortune favors the bold. Will she go as high as an indigo, I wonder?

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

I'll get right back to you on that.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

All right, do let me know.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Sorry, looks like you're out of luck this time. I wouldn't feel right letting you bid more.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I am? Well, drat it all, and I really thought that would do it, too. But at least I have the satisfaction of knowing that whoever won you is paying a worthy price for it, I suppose.

Two indigos three violets. Not bad at all, if they're not expecting any shark wrangling.

What day's good for you?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Far better than a single orange, I should say. I suppose I'm content, then, if a bit disappointed at losing.

Well, anytime, really. I've...mostly just been going about my usual routine lately, and it's nothing that can't be changed to make room.

It's your date, your choice. I finish mid-afternoon most days this week.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Would Tuesday suit you, then?

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Tuesday should be good. Circumstances allowing, I'll pick you up at six.

Barring any curses or strange incidents that make all the lights go out, of course. I'll look forward to it, then.

And I'm glad you managed to get what you wanted out of all this, too.
