--you're an eleven, at least.

[There's a pause, and then--]

Oh, God, did this thing turn o--

... so who's the eleven?

[had_not_lived]

I didn't mean to post that.



...Five.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

I'd probably be offended if I were in my real body today. I could totally be outraged on Hanna's behalf, though.

[had_not_lived]

Well I don't know you-- either of you, I guess-- all that well.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I didn't know the scale could go up to eleven...

[had_not_lived]

Five. Oh god I can't help it, I'm sorry...

Aren't scales arbitrary?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I thought most went up to ten.

[had_not_lived]

Well eleven is better than ten...

[inmyothertights]

Who's a what?

[had_not_lived]

Nothing, it's just-- I-- oh, damn...

You're somewhere between a 7 and an 8.

[inmyothertights]

Wh----

Oh.

[had_not_lived]

I'm sorry, I really can't help it.

[mumbled_truth]

[Todd, of course, is right there; silent for a few moments after Neil hits the button before he whispers.]

... it is off, right?

[had_not_lived]

[Looking more than a little horrified, Neil nods.]

[mumbled_truth]

[Todd nods also, staring at the diabolical device. He's still talking softly, not entirely trusting it.]

It wasn't video, was it? And-- and it only caught you, right?

[had_not_lived]

[Neil is already checking, his jaw tight, expression pale.]

It's... I mean-- it could be worse.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, it's that one, is it?

[had_not_lived]

It is, and I can't help it, I'm afraid.

Nine.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear it. I've had that one before, too, and it always manages to make an ordinary day into a terribly silly one.

And, er...thank you.

[adamantined]

Well, at least they're not over nine thousand.

[had_not_lived]

Wouldn't it be about the same? I mean, off the charts, scale kind of stops being important eight.

[adamantined]

I think that depends on who you're rating.

Thanks. I'll pretend you didn't say that to cut back on any awkwardness.

I can't believe you missed out on making a Spinal Tap joke.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah. [Pause] What's eleven?

Neil's about, what, 25 years too early for that. xD

[had_not_lived]

...Five.

A number higher than ten.

THAT IS NO EXCUSE.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

But wha-

Oh! This's that five curse that I had a while ago.

It's not too bad.
