Which 80's? The 1980s?

[this might be infinitely easier than d&d, then]

Where do shoulder pads sit on the tasteful spectrum?

[roseapothecary]

Of COURSE the 1980's.
What, did you think petticoats came back in style?

Nowhere.
They sit absolutely nowhere.

Unless you're, like...
Reimaginging Working Girl as a play or something.

[persisto]

Keeping myself open to the possibilities.

Is that a movie?

[only two years into the future and yet!!]

[roseapothecary]

It would be really difficult to make petticoats work. Please don't keep that option open.

It's... yes? Of course?
What women in film did you look up to?

[persisto]

Noted.

Oh, Sigourney Weaver in Alien. Hands down. Maybe not as a fashion icon, but for everything else.

[roseapothecary]

...Okay, I'll give you that.

Though her style in that film is pretty much what we're stuck wearing now, so...

Thanks for those nightmare associations.

[persisto]

In fairness, we have at least twice as many monster hunters stuffed into every corner of this ship.

[roseapothecary]

Okay, that's... true.
And reassuring.

Are you one of them?

[persisto]

Remember to hold onto that.

A little bit. Definitely amateur hour compared to most folks here. You?

[roseapothecary]

Um. No.

Not unless we're including customer service monsters.

What's an 'amateur' monster?

[persisto]

No one's saying those aren't scary.

The ones that don't need to be hunted down, I guess. And, I mean, we were going at it with baseball bats and fire. Pretty low tech all around.

[roseapothecary]

Try owning a store in a town where people don't know the difference between day and night creams.

Sounds sort of like how I deal with spiders?

[persisto]

Is that anywhere other than New York?

How often are you using fire for spiders?
