Fashion Crisis [Video]

[dictator_ko]

Just what's going on? First gross slime then pink snakes [though she'd found the snakes kinda cute] and ghosts, now dinosaurs! I almost died! Speaking of, thanks mysterious speedy masked guy whose name I didn't get, for saving me.

[She suddenly perks up.]



Quick emergency Mina's Fashion Corner tip:

I've seen some people selling clothes with dinosaurs on them. And even a few wearing them. Do not do that. Seriously, it's a total fashion no-no. It's just tacky.

If you really want to go with a dinosaur theme, try wearing dinosaur colors! Besides, green's the in color right now. Loose clothing is also in, but it has to be stylish, okay? You can deviate from the current fashion, but that's not for amateurs. Only the stylish and cute can get away with it.

Fine, weirdo, I'll keep that in mind.

[numberedshepherd]

I'm not that weird. Why do you think I am?

[dictator_ko]

Seriously? There're plenty of reasons.

[numberedshepherd]

I try to be good, helpful and kind. I don't think that's so strange.

[dictator_ko]

No, that's not weird. But the way you do it is really weird sometimes.

[numberedshepherd]

How would you change it, though? To make it less "weird?"

[dictator_ko]

I don't know, figure that out yourself.

[numberedshepherd]

If you don't know, maybe it's not weird. Maybe you're just not used to it. Isn't that a possibility?

[dictator_ko]

No, you're definitely weird. I just don't feel like telling you how to fix it.

[numberedshepherd]

You can't define it. You're masking your laziness with contrived apathy.

[dictator_ko]

[That just now was incredibly accurate, and Mina doesn't like it.]

Well, just study someone not-weird and act like them!

[numberedshepherd]

You have any recommendations?

[He bets he can guess.]

[dictator_ko]

Well, it's just a start, but you could start with me. ♪

[numberedshepherd]

How do you feel about being normal? Do you realize that it also implies that you are average?

[dictator_ko]

I'm definitely far above average. I didn't mean average. I meant not-weird.

[numberedshepherd]

So we can deduce based on that attitude that "weird" can be defined by unusual attributes that are socially undesirable or make others uncomfortable, correct?

[dictator_ko]

That's right! You got it totally. That's what we're talking about.

[numberedshepherd]

Hm. I guess it makes sense.

So you don't think that geniuses and supermodels could be considered freaks?

[dictator_ko]

Of course not! Unless they're weird.

[numberedshepherd]

But they're freaks. Don't you think so? Whether or not they're weird, nature's endowed them with something that most people don't have.

[dictator_ko]

They're cool, not freaks! Well, some geniuses can be kinda weird, though, but that's nothing to do with their smartness.

[numberedshepherd]

Maybe it's everything to do with it. A lot of times certain traits go hand in hand with other ones.

Maybe geniuses spend so much time studying and honing their skills because they're awkward and don't have very many friends, for example.

[dictator_ko]

I thought they just were geniuses. [Guess who hadn't put that much thought into why 'geniuses' are like they are.]

[numberedshepherd]

I don't truly believe that anyone is "just" anything. Nurture has more to do with it than I think people truly realize; nature sounds too close to fate, and even getting back what we are, as we are, the concept of free will is very important to me.

If behavior is learned more than written, there's hope yet.

[dictator_ko]

Well, but some people just have advantages.
