119 Diagnosis

Sink me! When I believed that all pursuits not physically consumed were tiresome... a ball. Wine and revelry are just the elixir I need.

....In truth I must make haste to the apothecary or perhaps the nearest man of the orient and replenish my portion of opium. Peglegs are never fashionable. I have many a coordinating cane. 

Though what a bind I find myself in. My mind is troubled by two issues. Do I take along the whining, limp-wristed pansy? ...or the wife? Even more pressing, do I wear the dark blue silk or amethyst?

If you decide to wear the blue, wear the amethyst instead. If you decide to wear the amethyst, wear the blue instead. It's the only way to invent a conversation at all.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Both? Lord man, I daresay you may be on to something. The combination is striking and unoffensive... and eyecatching all the same. Blue amethyst it is!

I meant wear one if you decided on the other. That way you'll be perfectly displeased all evening and you'll always have something to talk about.

But if you want to be more difficult and wear both, I suppose I cannot convince you otherwise.

...The what?

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

What are you wearing?

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

What?

I have not a lisp or stutter. A physician such as yourself should be more attentive to his own ears and eyes. Or perhaps you have not the ear or eye for whatever is in style.

Both, Monsieur Château, however, I do not believe one will be appreciative to appear by your side after that insult on his name.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Words, however sharp do not draw blood therefore with no injury to person or clothing a true gentleman would shake off these facts.

[thenormalsquint]

But is there a need to behave like a rotten child, regardless of how one would choose to ignore it?

Another man of the sea?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I beg your pardon?

[forthathorizon.livejournal.com]

You asked to be sunk. I assume it must be in jest because no man who cares for his ship would say such a thing.

[adamantined]

I don't even know where to begin.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Use your best judgement and start at the point of most interest.

[adamantined]

Everything in this is of interest. Everything.

Why, this whining, limp-wristed pansy is flattered that you've considered his company at all.

I fear no other will ask him otherwise. Please console the poor sir.

In truth, I need not your invitation, nor your consideration, monsieur. You paint me far more the pathetic figure than I am.

[dr_conscience]

I am mistaken or have I not seen you just days past? Surely your supply cannot be depleted already.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Days! That is nearly a week. Come now. Am I to wait so long?

[dr_conscience]

Nearly a week, but - if I recall - you purchased enough for a fortnight, at the least.

The wife didn't expect you'd rise from your usual haze for the occasion.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

One could say I rise to the occasion. That would be your bad sense of humor, not my own. Now that I have asked, you deny me an answer still.

[as_damaged]

I was already planning to attend; it's a novel idea, at least, the two of us going together.
