Mine do. The frame is weird, and they don't stay behind my ears sometimes. With a mask, they can just slip off.

But, that's just these glasses. It's not really a common thing.

I'm a social reculse, I don't plan on going out to see other people anyways.


Indeed

Staying at home substantially reduces the risk factors of the Frost Gaze; though it’s not eliminated

All I need in life is a internet connection, a bit of land to call my own, and whiskey. The deal grants me whiskey and the money grants me the other two, I'd go weeks probably years without interacting with other people if it weren't for work and social obligations.

I can't remember the last time my glasses fell off.

I can think of several occasions when my glasses fell off, and I haven't worn them in years.

Why not? The entity said that only water would turn into whiskey, but said nothing about soda, juice, or milk. And it never specified exactly how big the cup can be. Loopholes. Eye contact? I don’t really like to make eye contact anyway. Floating while I sleep? I’ll just tie myself to the bed at night.

Now give me the money.

But if you do make eye contact with someone, they'll die.

Get a strap for them, or buy a blindfold. Or wear a veil if you want to go full Victorian-widow badass. There's lots of good options.

I feel like the problems with it could be resolved by having a short conversation with loved ones or co-workers about your new condition (perhaps offer them a demonstration on a rat or something so they take it seriously), and it might even get you a fairly lucrative contract murder business.

I think that if someone in my life told me that they'd decided that putting me and everyone else around them in life-threatening danger for the sake of a few million dollars, I'd kick them in the stomach(punching them in the face would be too dangerous) and thereafter cut them out of my life as much as possible.

People put their families in a lot more danger for a lot less money on a pretty routine basis, idk if it's that crazy

If your family points guns at you all the time, maybe find a new family.

Yes, it can be managed most of the time, but on the off chance there is one day a mistake and someone I love does look into my eyes for some reason, their life would surely be worth more than that amount of money.

I assume this is in USD, and seven million isn't what it used to be.

Of course, I could establish a very lucrative career as an assassin and make much more.

I accept.


It is in USD.

By the way, a thought has just occurred to me. What’s with me and the US dollar????

I’ve literally never even used this currency in my life. When I went down to the States, my brother paid for everything. 0_0

I think somehow the USD has become the default currency but I can’t think why


I have regularly argued in your threads that I wouldn't do it for the USD, but I would do it for EUR.

So here it is 7 million euro.

Hmm, let me think.

The frostgaze is pretty cool, I know some hotheads that need cooling off. Mostly, anyone that tries to steal my money, self defense 8)

The water into whisky, hmmm, I hope it's a good whisky and not just Jack Daniels.

So that leaves me sleeping with the birds.

Yes they do. But more often they will slip down the nose.
