12 - He worked hard on that ugly

[umgekehrt]

[What can fairies do? Glamour. For the next hour, we've replaced your usual Chief Stildyne with Folgers Crystals a handsome, healthy young man with no scars to speak of and a voice that doesn't sound like rubble being stirred. He does, however, sound annoyed.]





So. Ignoring them annoys them. Fighting them annoys them. I'm too old to play with them the way some have been. [Please ignore that he's looking more 27 than 47 at the moment.]

Anyone had success with ducking them?

...Chief Stildyne?

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[And what a pained and grudging 'yes' it is.]

It's not harmful and it's only visible. But damn it.

[truth_is_cold]

..That's Chief Stildyne? [Overhearing Marquis there.]

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

Don't rub it in, Mister Rhade. Men in unassuming suite ought not throw stones.

[Audio] Was supposed to be audio but I am a derp. Not that he wasn't out in public...

[truth_is_cold]

As stones go, it wasn't an accusation so much as unfettered surprise.

[Audio] We'll just assume Stildyne saw him while he was out?

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

Bit of a nasty shock. Isn't it.

[most_feared]

[Kay turns on the video. Only for a moment. But he's pretty much wearing a giant Time Lord fuck you collar, complete wish skullcap, and the robes.

He is frowning.]

Nope.

[And turning that back off to just audio.]

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

[He has nothing but sympathy for you, Kay.] Little pests. [He won't even mention the collar.]

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I ducked some, Comrade.

[Video clicks on, and Prefect... appears to be looking down at the communicator, while hanging upside down in mid air. He's got one arm locked around a table leg, and is keeping himself moderately close to the floor with it. Two fairies are hovvering just beneath him, yanking on his hair.]

I'm not certain that it made any difference to them.

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

Well, hell. I'll have to hope I get my face back sooner than later, then.

Doing all right there?

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

They changed your face? [SQUINT.] What do you normally look like? [Yeah, Prefect didn't read/listen to the other comments. He responds to the question with an awkward little shrug.]

I'm all right, Comrade. Slightly dizzy. [What with all the blood rushing to his head and all. One of the fairies gives his hair a particularly savage yank, and Prefect winces.] Also, I may need a shower.

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

The name's Chief Stildyne, and if that doesn't bring a face to mind then I obviously had better get out there more once this is over.

...you need any help there, comrade? [His inflection's a little funny, the closest adress he knows being 'cousin', and that's a religious one from someone else's religion, but he's game for people's preferences.]

[jillykitzinger.livejournal.com]

Hello, handsome.

I just woke up in the hospital with them using my body as a ski resort. So, no. No ducking them here.

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

[He scowls at 'handsome'.] No need to be unkind about it, ma'am.

[jillykitzinger.livejournal.com]

Who's being unkind? You look good.

I have fairies skiing down my legs.

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

I'd trade off with you. I've spent nearly fifty years getting a really appalling collection of scars and I don' like looking like some pretty piece of decoration.

[scentbombed]

...Hello, Stildyne.

[More like "Hellooooo, Stilyne!" Amirite?]

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

Oh, get it over with. [He's radiating curmudgeon. This is deeply, deeply embarrassing.]

[scentbombed]

Oh, all right, if you're going to be like that about it. You'd probably look better with a few more scars.

[audio]

[theviralsource.livejournal.com]

No.

And killing them only brings more.

[audio]

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

So the gentleman in warpaint and feathers indicates.

Hell with this, I'm going to the gym.

[audio]

[theviralsource.livejournal.com]

Figured I wasn't the only one trying to get rid of them that way.

Let me know if you come across any there.

Ignoring them annoys them?

[You'd think he would have figured this out before they'd stolen all of his clothes, braided his hair into pigtails, and put his furniture on the roof.]

audio

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

Apparently. I was watching my step and being polite and they slapped this face on me. [He glowers wrathfully. It's... not super-effective.]

Re: audio

[darknessb4me]

Maybe you're not ignoring them hard enough.
