I'm not a prostitute.

[subdues.livejournal.com]

You asked for the definition.

[codenamewiccan]

...What was written above me. Its not a nice word.

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

One of the vendors in the market called me a 'comely wench.' He wanted me to try on some of his wares.

[codenamewiccan]

...And no one smacked him for it?

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

A lot of them are talking strangely since the market changed. I think it has something to do with the atmosphere.

[codenamewiccan]

Could be, I haven't looked yet. I'll pop over and see how its different once I finish this sweep.

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

Good luck encountering more polite salesmen.

How have you been? We haven't really talked since--well, I guess it wasn't a rebirth from your perspective.

[codenamewiccan]

Yeah my luck has never been the best.

...

I've been alright mostly ya know, disoriented and trying to figure out this place. ...More like a cyro thawing or something. I'm calling myself Codename until I know my real name. And I'm sorry I disappeared before, I don't remember that time but I still want to say I'm sorry for leaving everyone behind.

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

A...what thawing?

You don't have anything to feel sorry about. Even if you don't remember, you're still you. We still care. I hope that's not too strange for you.

*arrow to the first definition*

Maybe the guy meant you were a comely (what's that mean anyway?) girl? Not a prostitute?

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

It's possible, but the garments he wanted
me to try seemed fit for a prostitute, in any case. They were very...bosomy.

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

You got that too? Someone wanted me to try on this top that came way too low. I'm too small for something like that!

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

They could make their ogling little less obvious!

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

I don't think subtle is in these guys' dictionary. I told you about the guy in the skirt, right?

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

I don't think so.

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

Yeah, some really weird guy was in a skirt. It only went to his knees.

I'm gonna be seeing that in my nightmares. Urgh.

[lemonshine.livejournal.com]

You too?

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's polite at all.

[lemonshine.livejournal.com]

I didn't think it was either. Guess it's time to ignore a bunch of people in the marketplace.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard that myself, but I keep getting "lass." Do you have a good glare you can give 'em?

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

A fantastic one.
