*chuckles* Dear me. I had no idea we were at war. XD If such is the case then I fear you’ll have to mark me down as a double agent and court martial me, as I do indeed have accounts on both KP and SE.
That said, I haven’t been around as much as I’d like on either, even since before SE came on the scene. You can blame life in general for that. ;P
*folds hands with aggrieved sigh* Very well. What is my sentence to be?
we have a series of questions to check your loyalty and see which side you are spying for…*glares suspiciously*.
*props boots up on the edge of the prisoner’s box and leans back, smiling faintly at the ceiling* Ask away.
What is the new Kapeefer battle cry?
*polite coughing* Hm. My dear Border Patrol Chief, I really have no good excuse other than life. *fatalistic shrug* I have not indeed moved to Story Embers, and don’t plan to (it’s even more writer-specific than here), but I was already far less active on KP even before that came up. Just…’cause. Life changes. And it’s sad. *wipes away a furtive tear* But I’m not planning on utterly abandoning the Kingdom. Just…observing and popping in at times. I have a feeling this won’t pass muster. XD
All right, done with the mock drama. *sticks chin up and glares back* Bring on the loyalty checklist.
what is the name of the best coffee shop/cafe in the Kingdom?
what is the name of the best coffee shop/cafe in the Kingdom?
@emma-flournoy I understand how life happens. That’s a perfectly ligitimate reason. And if you don’t even have an SE account, I won’t question your loyalty. @kate-flournoy on the other hand…
ah, very well. @emma-flournoy this is an optional test for you
But…but doesn’t @Alia have a SE account? *disarming grin* I see nothing wrong with having both. But I have no idea whatsoever what the name of the best coffee shop/cafe in the Kingdom is, so you see how woeful my knowledge of currents events is. If you were asking questions about things from a year/year and a half ago I’d ace them all. XD But I like tests, so continue to fire away.
@alia *boots hit floor with a crash* Wow, look at that. I’m a traitor and I didn’t even realize it.
Heh, some double agent I make. XD
*coughs* I can, in fact, answer none of those questions with confidence. *humbly bows head* What is your highness’s pleasure with me?
@alia @emma-flournoy @kate-flournoy I have an account at SE too – and that is okay as long as you continue to remain loyal to KP, which is why we have some questions. 🙂
and there are a few of those questions I would not have known if I was not on the Writers Corner as much as I am. so be a bit nice – after all we only want KP to be the peaceful place it is.
@alia and if they prove themselves loyal, add them to the list of loyal kapeefers
Hmmm… no fear. I’m content to simply remain the KeePer I always will be at heart, even if I don’t make the list. 😉 You don’t forget places like this. Even if you move on.
@Ariel-Ashira Aha, totally got it. I hope I prove a loyal KeePer, despite my absence. Though I don’t frequent the Writer’s Corner much at all, so I may prove quite unknowledgeable in national traditions originating there. ;P
(And just for your peace of mind, in case you start worrying about it like I know I would, I’m not offended in the least. XD *gives you chocolate and raspberry ice cream*)
@emma-flournoy Oh, good. I am glad you feel that way! Yeah, a lot of stuff originates in the WC.
@emma-flournoy, yes I’m on SE, but I am what you might call an…intelligence officer for KP
good news for @kate-flournoy and Emma, we have decided that even if you ask for the answer to the questions it still means you’re loyal. However, you must answer four total
First answer, Writer’s Corner. Second question, what is the new battle cry. (can be found in Writer’s Corner 17 at the beginning)
‘I’m a Kapeefer, ’til we’re old and grey!’
Is that it? Or simply, ‘TIL WE’RE OLD AND GREY!’
Congratualtions! Because surely you are loyal (and absolutely not because I’m lazy) I have decided you have passed
Why thank you. *tips hat* Thank you very much. XD
