#39 - Plus without the minus

[inthecenterfold]

Okay, I get it. The sphere gets its jollies off by watching a bunch of guys flail around because we've got new parts to deal with. So why the hell didn't it go all the way with mine? This is part of the punishment isn't it?

... Sorry for whatever you saw, bro. Hope the scarring's not permanent.

I'm uh... gonna try to see if I can go to work today... if any of my clothes fit... how the fuck do you even walk like this...

Sometimes these things are mercifully quick. Sometimes they drag out a helluva long time.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

A few days can be a long time, when one is particularly troubled.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Most of a month is worse.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

And longer?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Well yeah, but the worst I've ever had was most of a month.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

There is no correlation, I hope, between the severity of the effect and its duration.

/need this icon lol still Kanzeon

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Depends on what you call severe.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

In your own estimation.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

I think it depends on how much you pissed off the tree. Really bad stuff may not stay with you for awhile, but sometimes that's all it takes to mess with you. Goofy annoying stuff may stick with you longer, but at that point you can still mostly go through life, it's just... humiliating.

Piss off the tree enough and you get a long-term bad-news done to you. Like dying, not coming back for awhile, and losing memories on top of that.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

You are referring to the tree as an entity, directly responsible for these going-ons. I assume that that is a figure of speech.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

I honestly don't know anymore, man.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

I see.

Thank you for this information, Smoke-jūn. I hope your recovery is swift.

[holy-androgyny.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Huo-kun. Good luck figuring any of this out. Keep me posted, huh?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Most assuredly.
