FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Alistair
RECIPIENT: Everyone around the Gallows
WHAT: A survey
WHEN: Nowish
NOTES: This is only partly my fault

[ Let it be said that Alistair has backed down from all manner of challenges and dares and weird games of chicken, if they were stupid and he wasn't in the mood, but also let it be said that he hasn't backed down from this specific one. ]

I know we're all very busy preventing the world from ending, but if I could have a moment of your time for some important questions—

First, I need to know what sorts of things you consider good-looking, in a man, generally speaking. It doesn't matter if you're attracted to men or not, before anyone feels the need to explain their love lives to me. I only need to know what sort of man-faces you think are pleasant.

And then I need to know if you think Byerly Rutyer is good looking enough to make up for not being a nice man.

And he'd also like to know how much money each of you have. I think that's important for you to know before you answer the nice man part.

[a little tiredly,] Are you going to parade him around for those of us who haven't seen him yet to judge?

[byblow]

And spend that much time with him? Absolutely not.

[faithlikeaseed]

You could always gull someone else into doing the parading--

But also, aren't you spending rather a lot in the sound of his voice already?

[bouchonne]

I could do with a parade.

[faithlikeaseed]

[in a wholly innocent way that has nothing to do with anything else, ever, at all,] How much of one?
