Uhh...

Are the lights super bright for anyone else? Like you've got to the eye doctor and they put those drops in your eyes... but you haven't gone to the eye doctor?

I was hoping it was just me.

Now I'm worried its a side effect of something.

[darkforcerising]

I guess... buy sunglasses?

[bearshermark]

I don't.. think that's going to solve anything.

[darkforcerising]

Lights won't be as bright?

[bearshermark]

Yeah.

[darkforcerising]

See! A problem is solved.

[bearshermark]

You nailed it. Thanks.

[darkforcerising]

If we're all experiencing it, maybe it's Bureau related?

[bearshermark]

I really, really don't like this.

[temptationaccomplished]

Oh, good. I thought for certain my fridge was on the blink. I'd hate to have to replace it; it's long since out of warranty.

I don't understand what could be causing this.

[darkforcerising]

Would I be the asshole if I started wearing sunglasses inside and at night AND playing that song?

[temptationaccomplished]

It seems a bit unnecessary to wear sunglasses all the time.

What song is this?

[darkforcerising]

Okay, when I met you, I was pretty sure you weren't that old.

I apologize if terrible 1980s pop didn't immediately spring to mind.

[darkforcerising]

Haven't you heard, the 80s is back in vogue.

[temptationaccomplished]

Oh good lord, no. I was rather hoping we would revive the 1920s instead. Both were eras of excess, but at least the 1920s had better music and certainly better fashion sense.

Still, better than the 1990s.

[darkforcerising]

It seems like you have a lot of resentment for the 80s and 90s.

[neverjedi]

Yes.

Under spotlights.

With ice glare.

I'm taking the week off.

[darkforcerising]

Have you tried skating with sunglasses?


[His solution apparently...]

[neverjedi]

And let soccer mom's think their child's coach is high?

No, thank you.

[darkforcerising]

What happens if this doesn't clear up in a week?

[neverjedi]

Then I'll see an optometrist, get an official recommendation in writing, hand it in to the arena, and have a verifiable medical condition on record to point anyone who has concerns to. I may even have the administration send a notice out to the parents of my younger students and do the same myself for my private coaching clients.

Meanwhile off the ice, I'm wearing sunglasses.

[darkforcerising]

Wow, that was extremely thorough.

Tell me you're humming the song.

[neverjedi]

You asked.

Sunglasses at night? No.

Bright Lights? Yes.

[darkforcerising]

I am so disappointed.
