brockton bay, meet glam

[mxglam]

It's the anniversary. Glam would very much not like to celebrate.

It’s their last day on Winslow High - they’re being transferred to Arcadia on Monday - and also their last day without a patrol schedule assigned.

And the PRT released a small announcement on its website about Glam joining the Wards. Now their wiki page doesn’t get erased, of course - they’re no longer speculative. They wonder what it’s got on them.

"Is getting attached bad?"

[thinkering]

"It means I can't change it if I think of something better later."

[mxglam]

"...isn't that an argument against ever naming it?"

[thinkering]

"No, it's an argument for having a really high threshold, so if I think of the perfect name later I won't be too disappointed at merely having an excellent name. I just have to think of an excellent name."

[mxglam]

"Oh. Do you have a list of characteristics a name must have to be considered excellent?"

[thinkering]

"Not as such, why?"

[mxglam]

"'Cause then I could try to help beyond just suggesting a bunch of names until one struck your fancy."

[thinkering]

"Well, you're still welcome to suggest a bunch of names until one strikes my fancy."

[mxglam]

"Alright! Later, though, otherwise Chevalier will get on our cases again. Besides, some of these people are interesting."

[thinkering]

"Good luck sticking to those ones."

[mxglam]

"Thanks!"

Mingle mingle. More hors d'oeuvres.

[thinkering]

Lorica resists the temptation to crack her helmet open enough to try them.

[mxglam]

Glam thinks she really should!

[thinkering]

Glam is welcome to save her some if they really want.

[mxglam]

They just might.






"Sssooo... I have a question..."

[thinkering]

"What?"

[mxglam]

"If I got the chance to make out with Dauntless, would that hurt my chances with you?"

[thinkering]

"That depends on whether you take him up on it."

[mxglam]

"Er. Yes, okay, I amend the question to 'should I take him up on it, would that hurt my chances with you?'"

[thinkering]

"Little bit, yeah. How much depends on other details."

[mxglam]

"Hrrm. Details like what?"

[thinkering]

"...I'm really uncertain how much detail it's appropriate to go into here."

[mxglam]

"...alright, for the time being there will be no makeouts."

[thinkering]

"I can't exactly quantify into numerical terms how good your chances are to begin with," Lorica says. "It doesn't necessarily make sense for you to be - I probably should've just told you to go ahead."

[mxglam]

"I'm not sure you get just how bad I got it."
