Hey darling, what's with the flags? You tryna start a carnival or somethin'?
The rainbow flag means gay pride, trans flag means transgender people pride, black flag means aacia pride, bisexual flag means bisexual pride, and non-binary flag means non-binary pride.
Yeah, I know what they mean but you’re in violation of our neighborhood rules with all these flags. Please take them down.
So, you're homophobic, transphobic, hating on ace and non-binary folks?
No, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m just doing my job, following the rules. If you want to fly those flags, you’re going to have to get a special permit from the Homeowners Association.
And how do I get one of those?! 🤔
Well, it’s actually quite simple. You just need to fill out an application and pay a small fee. Once we receive it, we’ll review it and get back to you within a few days.
Why do you gotta charge for a permit?
We charge a small fee to help cover the cost of reviewing and processing the applications. It’s nothing personal, I promise.
Look, I understand you might be skeptical, but trust me, it’s all just a part of maintaining the beauty and harmony of our neighborhood.
So, are we cool? I mean, we can resolve this real quick if you just take those flags down. No need for any unnecessary trouble, right?
Uh...yeah...hesitantly takes flags down
There you go, just like a breeze! Thank you so much, sweetheart. You're a real sport about it. If there's anything else I can do for ya, just holler!

Oh, don’t you worry, honey. This is gonna be a one-time thing. Just making sure everything in the neighborhood is ship-shape. That's my only concern.
leans in closer, speaking softly Now, sweetheart, if you ever need anything...anything at all, you give me a call.

smirks and slowly walks away, glancing back one last time

approaches from behind, placing a gentle hand on their arm Hey there, sugar. What's got ya shivering like a leaf in an autumn breeze?
A-all...those rules...frowns
Rules, huh? Well, sugar, rules are meant to be followed. They're there to keep things orderly, to maintain a sense of structure.
