We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

They will make a charming as hell geeky trio.

That they will.

if we're not allowed to wear logos on our clothes, I'm probably not allowed to wear my superhero belt buckles, which is woefully disappointing.

Huh. I mean, technically speaking you are totally right, but somehow in my head there's a difference between a bat belt buckle and the word "juicy" written in glitter across your chest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This reminds me of my mom's dress code, where women could not where khaki's, but men were to wear "Dockers or Haggar pants". Which is sort of weird, because I think Haggar is a (sears?) store brand. She worked for a county department of Social Services.

That's bananas.

What about a Louis Vuitton purse?

Oo, good point. Most any designer purse, come to think of it. Weirds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The exact line from the dress code is "Logo clothing (sport teams, cartoon characters)" But my belt buckles are chrome and classy! Srsly. Totally better than Gucci or Bizon (wait, no, that's a gun--do I mean Birkin? silly brain) or Louis Vitton.

Jeans aren't allowed to have any fading or fraying, which, oops. Mine do have a bit of both, but only a little. I should probably get off my hiney.

"Logo clothing (sport teams, cartoon characters)"

I know I am being pedantic, but a cartoon character is not a logo. The superman "s" or the Bat signal might be a logo, but isn't the character not a logo by virtue of being a character?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Can you even buy jeans that don't have fraying or fading anymore?

But I think you're probably out of luck on the belt thing.

Yeah, that's ridiculously worded. They want you not to look like an ass, they should say that. I bet your belts are fine.

I also never understood the "no fading"- does that mean they all have to be an indigo wash, or are solid color lighter blue jeans OK?

I remember getting dinged at work (but only in a review, not ever talked to about it) for wearing chambray pants when denim was not allowed. It was the 90's and they were palazzo pants. They also dinged me for wearing a Shurfine coat when I was cold (the customer service desk was near the entrance and exit). The funniest thing was that the person who had to give my review told me that she was told my the store manager to put those things in because they did not want to give me a big raise, because I had worked there so long and was making "too much" so they had to come up with something! They should have gone with the fact that I read magazines under the counter and then put them back!

Art Crawl!!!

They couldn't get you for that - I have to believe that everyone who works at a bookstore does that. . .not that I would know or anything.
