Hazel eyes peered down, the woman with one part dirt and one part red hair took the glove off her right hand. It was a long glove that was fitted and snug as it released itself reluctantly from within the longcoat’s sleeve. 212 B S W A 36, K2 was smudged on the back of her hand. She had to squint to make out the writing in the low light of dusk, the last of the daylight crept with strange fingers between the low built hovels that covered the street already making ample darkness in the right corners of the street for mischief.

212 Blair Saint Way, Apartment 36. Knock twice. Everyone had their shorthand cheat methods for remembering things.

Karma had a delicate white box with a red bow tucked under her arm. Incredibly out of place with the newness compared to the dirty long-coat and the battered tricorn hat covering her head. She stared at the door which ended at her chest. Reluctantly she knocked twice and waited. She resisted the urge to continue knocking or just leave the package at the door. Business was business and she was trying to be more reliable. Shirley Patrick would boot her tush to the curb if she screwed up too many more runs. Karma wrinkled her nose, wishing that Silk Frost was still alive. Silk would just shake her head, whereas Shirley gave lectures.

While Karma had been spacing out at eye level(staring vacantly at the space above the small apartment door no less), a small throat-clearing brought her back to reality.

“Here you are…” Karma slurred slightly noticing that the gnomish woman before her was short even for a gnome, barely cresting her knees. Karma wasn’t short but this woman wasn’t tall.

Don’t mess up. Don’t mess up. “Here you are ma’am. Delivering your small parcel.” Nailed it.

The gnome’s left eye twitched at the word small but she didn’t say anything. “Come in, I would like to inspect it.” Her right eye may have twitched as well but Karma wasn’t certain because she was wearing a very sophisticated looking jeweler’s loupe over it.

“Sure, no big deal.” Karma smiled, ducking down and almost going to her knees to follow the client through the door. Made all the more uncomfortable because her high boots were sticking out over her pants and almost made her drop the white red-ribboned box.

“Have any trouble?” She asked without turning around.

“Very little.”

“Let’s see it…” There was just the hint of throttled fury in the gnomish voice.

Karma set the box on a table that came up to knees, then stood upright, surprised that the ceiling hadn’t been lowered in addition to the door.

“Ah yes. Mr. Fangleworth’s delicious triple decker chocolate fudge cake…” The gnome replied, opening the box and peering in. “This time for sure I will find out his secret.”

Karma didn’t even bat an eyelash at this point. People were seriously weird about what they thought of as ‘confidential’ deliveries. Her eyes instead wandered over to the left side of the house were a variety of conveyor belts fed into a machine that took up half the apartment. The amount of warning whistles, lights, and fire extinguishers lining the floor near the apparatus made Karma want to stay and watch. Unfortunately her client had other plans.

“Here you are.” The gnome took out a small handbag with some embroidered kittens on it and opened it with a snap, thrusting several paper receipts at Karma without giving her time to speak. “Please count it.”

“I’m sure everything is in order. You’ve no need to short me.” Karma smiled and leaned backward, spinning the doorknob behind her below her hips. With a smile she leaned down and backed out. “Ma’am. Don’t hesitate to contact us in the future. As always it has been a pleasure. We’ll put you directly on our shortlist as a bonus.”

“J-just… leave.”

Twenty minutes later the small gnome looked at the roll of delicate tools on her table and frowned. “Where is…”

Twenty minutes later Karma was fiddling with a pistol on the dock near the water with a tiny fantastically shiny screwdriver used for delicate work. Satisfied with the pistol she casually tossed the screwdriver in the water. It vanished with a ploop.

Eta: ( I don’t know why the first para is in a box. smh. These newfangled forums. )

Dino’s and likes for Ariiah!

:heart::heart::heart::heart: :t_rex::t_rex::t_rex::t_rex:

Also, I discovered the ability to set threads to ‘muted’, which takes them off the front-page and blocks -all- notifications from that thread. It doesn’t make up for the lack of an ignore feature, but I do appreciate it.

I have a remarkable lack of self-control. If I see something that bothers me, I tend to respond to it quickly. Being able to take that out of the equation is really nice.

…Now just add an actual ignore, please!, Blizz!

All the dinos and likes! \o/

That would definitely be a good tool to have. It’s weird that it’s not even part of the forums already…

Like others have said, I think it’s just a result of the template they used for the forums being unfriendly towards that sort of thing. Didn’t blizzard already say something about wanting an ignore feature added in, or did I just imagine that?

Please Mr. Blizzard. May I have my daily serving of Good Girl Points?

HAH! MY LIKES HAVE RETURNED! TREMBLE MORTALS AND DESPAIR! LOVE HAS COME TO THIS WORLD A- …w-wait a moment. Looks at script, blinks, and then scrunches it up and chucks it to one side. …ignore that. Sometimes scripts are written poorly.

I still have six hours of forum enforced virtural anhedonia.
:frowning:

1217

Big words make brain hurt.

1218

It’s a joke, but anhedonia is a term for the absence of feeling pleasure.

1219

Ooooh. I was going to look that up at some point, but I forgot. Thanks for teaching me a new word. xD.

1220

As with all website updates, I’m going to use the new forums for about 2-3 weeks before I pass judgment on them. Much of the initial dislike can usually be chalked up to the dislike of change.

1221

Normally I read on my metro ride home but I was being harassed by a weirdo that kept rubbing his junk at me so I buried my face in my phone to ignore him and read threw a topic w/ a bunch of nerds debating is Sylvanas really a bad guy? and I have to admit that the infinite scrolling was a welcome change. There’s been quite a few improvements to mobile side that I definitely like.

I still am not a fan of infinite scrolling on my desktop but on my phone I welcome it. I get why there’s this hard push for mobile since more and more of the world accesses the internet from a mobile device instead of a desktop or laptop these days.

You should have taken a video of the grossness then shamed him on social media like a boss.

Oh naaahh, I actually didn’t realize it was happening until he got off the bus. I could see in the corner of my eye he was trying to get my attention but I just avoided eye contact and scrolled threw that dumb thread.

Street harassment has increased over the last few months so this isn’t the first time something like this has happened.

1224

People are gross. It’s probably good I don’t use public transportation, the first time someone pulled that with me I’d probably be arrested for beating the stupid out of the person doing it.
