First Purple File

[proudambassador]

[The writing is full of flourishes and swirls, making it look in some places elegant and in some overdone and ridiculous.]

So I will write on this and then people will write back and we will all be good friends, no? Somehow, I do not think that is the way the universe works.

We are all in a tree. We are tree people. This is stupid. But, if there is a place with wine, then I will not mind the stupid so much, hm? And we are not in a tree right now, but we are. I do not like paradoxes.

So. My friends. My soon-to-be dear, good friends. I am calling myself Ambassador. It is a stupid name, but I have never named myself before. There is a first time for everything, I believe it is said. So let us have a drink to firsts, and write on paper that writes back.

Yes, yes. I know, I know. No matter how tempting, it is always stupid to shoot the messenger.

Does this messenger have a name?

[smokesordie.livejournal.com]

Close enough.

Eyepatch. Another stupid name.

[There's a pause.]

Or it is a most helpful name, hm? If you wear an eyepatch? Then people know who you are when they meet you. Mine will not help you in the least.

That'd be a great idea if there weren't, like, five other dudes with eyepatches.

Besides, Ambassador has a badass ring to it.

Oh. Then it is, perhaps, half-helpful? If I see a man with an eyepatch, I will know that I have a 20% chance it is you.

Does it? Then I will be more satisfied with the name.

[smokesordie.livejournal.com]

I guess, though now I'm wondering how much that happens.

There you go.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I will have to see when I see someone with an eyepatch. I do not have many friends here yet so I will keep an eye out for you.

[smokesordie.livejournal.com]

Guess I'll see around then. Eventually.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes. Sooner or later, that seems to be the way here.
