Not bringing down the house

Right then, alternative suggestions.

Avatars chat to Jillis. Jillis backstory, more wacky avatar theories, poetry book or mixture of all three.
Injured villager takes a downturn.
Marril turns out to be spying for the enemy.
Philosophical arguments about killing.
Rain of duck.
A new amulet victim turns up on the shoreline.

I wasn't serious about Marril.

I want...

Avatars chat to Jillis. Jillis backstory, more wacky avatar theories, poetry book or mixture of all three.
A new amulet victim turns up on the shoreline.

With optional rain of duck if Kell goes bonkers.

Remember when Weaver quoted some random poetry at the harvest costume party?

Yeah. :D

I can't help iiiit. Pretty words often get stuck in my head, even if I disagree with them.

You never told me that about yourself until I wrote the sentence that first said it. [sulk] (But it fits, oh yes, it fits.)

You think a bit of poetry is bad? I can still hear Cezi's voice when he used to talk about freedom.

And then there's that old poem that talks about chullic silk when it patently means floss spider - argh argh argh wrong wrong wrong, and still it gets caught in my head because the language is beautiful. So there.

They fuck you up, your authors. They may not mean to (though I suspect this one does) but they do. There's some poetry for you.

[offers shoulder]

... I'm glad I'm blissfully oblivious IC. At least that's one of me.

[slouches back-to-back with Ferrl and looks dramatic and moody]

(Mutt: Sorry, kid. There was a point to what I'm doing with Jillis - it just depends whether we ever get to it...
Oh, and Fenty, you make a nice kitty prop.
Ferrl: That's me - Ms. Scenery.
Mutt: Scratching post?
Ferrl: Costs extra.)

I'm rather glad I'm not totally oblivious.

I don't understand a single word you three are saying there.

Well, I understand the single words, but not what sense they're supposed to make put together. @_@

[Gives English-Sebbie-English dictionary - a signed copy at that]

Suit yourself, Sebs, but... eeech. No offence.

I mean, you may be more bearable than most alien males I know and all, even though that's fairly much a given - still, it's not going to work.



...Which "you three"?

[never ever gives out Weft-ese dictionaries to anyone, mua ha! Suffer the kitty logic!11]

Everyone. You five, then.

[hits self in head with dictionary]

[shakes head]

[throws dictionary at Sebbie's head and giggles maniacally]

Weft-IWC-Weft dictionary has three pages:

D
Denial - Everything Weft says when confronted with facts
H
Hissy fit - Everything Weft says, screams, snarls or snaps while snitty
W
Whining - Everything else Weft says while unhappy or annoyed

He has no other moods.

No. You just don't engender any other moods.

... OK, let's see if I understand that last exchange...

---

quote:

Weft: You're argumentative, that's good.

Jillis: You say it's bad?

Weft: It's not bad if you try to weasle out of arguments at the right times.

No, you've got Weft completely backwards.

Ddi you get that it was meant to be delivered in increasingly bitchy tones of voice? I hoped I'd been obvious enough that he was insulting her - i.e. quibbling over every little detail is not a good thing.

Weft's line(s) ending with "you're argumentative enough" looked to me like he was trying to defuse things, with Jillis getting offended without any reason. :/

Added "...he bitched", 'cause that's all I can bear to do. (That post took me annoyingly long to write in the first place, so I'm sick of it. [shrug])

"he sniped", on second thought, 'cause the previous verb doesn't sit right with him at the moment.
