No, I'm kind of enjoying how weird you are without the benefit of drugs. Like me.

[loveandlanguish]

You know, I think that's the nicest compliment anyone's given me in a long time.

[C'mere, let him kiss your head and give you a little squeeze, you're so cute.]

[just_displaced]

[Oh no, now he's blushing. And he can't even hide it.]

Well, uh, thanks, I think. Although I don't know if comparing you to me counts as a compliment really.

[loveandlanguish]

Why not? You're perfectly lovely.

[just_displaced]

Yeah, but see, not everyone thinks so. I mean, do you have any idea how many times I've been fired just for being me?

[loveandlanguish]

How aggressively were you 'being you'?

[just_displaced]

Well, um, one guy fired me because I insisted on calling him by his first name instead of calling him Mr. Whatever.

[A pause.]

I also may have called him a fascist pig and told him that he should be lucky there wasn't a hell because otherwise he'd be going there.

[loveandlanguish]

That is a little bit fire-y, you've got to admit.

[just_displaced]

My other bosses haven't fired me for similar, uh...

[How does he phrase this?]

Liberal outbursts.

[loveandlanguish]

You must have proved yourself good enough at your job to excuse a few eccentricities.

[just_displaced]

I'm a genius. Well, in regards to that. Otherwise, I'm pretty much so-so at most things.

[loveandlanguish]

Nothin more attractive than confidence.

[Taking the piss? Maybe only a little.]

[just_displaced]

Having confidence in one area's pretty good, I think. And it's more than a lot of people have!

[loveandlanguish]

It's very good. Especially if it's true. Having it in more than one area's even better, though.

[just_displaced]

You have any suggestions for areas I could branch out into?

[loveandlanguish]

Mustache growing? That's been rather successful.

[just_displaced]

[He strokes his mustache, looking pleased.]

Why, yes, it has. Thank you. I'm fond of it.

[loveandlanguish]

It's more dramatic on you, 'cause your hair's darker, obviously.

[Facial hair - always the best conversation topic.]

You're clearly something of a knitwear aficionado, as well, that's something to be proud of.

[just_displaced]

Yeah, I am. I'm a big fan of sweaters and vests. I've thought about teaching myself how to knit, but I'm way too clumsy. I know they're not exactly the fashionable thing right now, but I guess I don't really care.

[loveandlanguish]

Fashion's a weird concept anyway.

[Not really surprising coming from someone in his outfit.]

It changes so quickly, who can keep track?

[just_displaced]

That's why I pretty much just wear whatever I want. And yeah, sometimes I wear a suit, but they're always a little...

[Plaid. Ridiculous.]

... different.

[loveandlanguish]

I like them! There's not enough colour around anymore.

[Maybe why he paints his nails at least three different colours at once. Or he's just slightly crazy. Or both.]

So we've got three things so far. Adverts, mustaches, and knitwear. Sounds pretty impressive to me.

[just_displaced]

Yeah, those aren't bad. I guess I could put all of that on my resume.

[loveandlanguish]

I know I'd be more likely to hire the guy with cool facial hair.

[just_displaced]

Of course you would. It'd fit your whole... brand? Aesthetic? Whatever.

[He gestures to the very impressive beard.]
