LIVE!

[malignstar]

Who: Sunshine and whoever
Where: EVERY DORM
When: Day 74, Early Afternoon

[ The live goes off to show Sunshine, trying to balance several nondescript boxes within his arms, making it somewhat difficult to see his face. How none of them have fallen yet is anyone's guess. ]

"Attention, idols, it's become apparent to me that I've managed to forget the most sacred of winter time polls. As means of apology and under careful analysis of critical feedback, I come before you this winter afternoon with just one question...

Hot or not?"

[ But wait, what is he actually ranking? There doesn't seem to be anything to choose from. That's weird... ]

"Since this is an extra special holiday poll, I'll be collecting answers in person from each dorm. Consider your vote carefully~.

Your adjective is missing a noun.

Hello again, Sunshine. Should we be getting an extra chair for you since you drop by so often?

[malignstar]

Long as it's not one of the cursed ones. Sup, Intensity. Figured out your answer?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

As I said - your adjective is missing a noun. What exactly are you asking about?

[malignstar]

Preference.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Preference of hot or not-hot what?

[malignstar]

In general.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then "Not".

[malignstar]

Interesting. I thought you'd go with hot.

[ But reaching in box to toss a chainmail ring with deep blue and silver scales a few times in his hand before offering it to Intensity between his thumb and index fingers. ]

Your selection.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

[Takes it.

Why?

Why is this Scrooge getting all these gifts? He doesn't understand]

I like to be contrary.

And what's the purpose of this poll again, Santa?

[malignstar]

Surprise, honestly. I guess it's fun to see which one people pick. But this time, it's mostly for the surprise.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And what makes you think I'd pick hot?

[malignstar]

It sounds more challenging than not.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It also sounds like you were trying to set me up on a blind date?

[malignstar]

With a box of paprika cookies?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh, trying to bring them back into my life.

Sorry to disappoint, Sunshine, but me and sweets had a long talk. It just isn't going to work out.

[malignstar]

These aren't just any sweets. These sweets have cayenne pepper and chili powder. Hot, remember?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Why would you ruin perfectly good spicy food with sugar?

[malignstar]

[ Laughs ]

Touche.

But maybe the spice would cancel out the sweet. Or enough of it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Still not convincing me there should be any sweet to begin with.

The ring was a much better choice.

[malignstar]

Guess you lucked out then.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . . Did you really get gifts for everyone then?

[malignstar]

I got cookies and jewelry for anybody who answered. But I got a few special gifts too.
