      @valtmy All right!  Here I go. 🙂

      "Sylvester - Sylvester!"

        @valtmy I got 383 words.

        My last sentence:

        A few words were spoken in hushed voices between themselves, but no one spoke to her.

        "Sylvester - Sylvester!"

          @rochellaine

          I have 244.

          She heard the sleeping Hyunjoo whimpering below and could not help the sickening swell of regret that bloomed in her chest.

            @valtmy Is it going any better after the word war?

            What is a Hyunjoo? (I’m being lazy and not looking it up like I did with @seekjustice’s “brumby” a few days ago.)

            😛

            "Sylvester - Sylvester!"

              A little, I guess. 🙂 But I’ll be going off for brunch in a bit. I will be able to talk to you still on this forum but I won’t be doing any more writing until afternoon.

              Hahaha… Hyunjoo is the name of one of my characters. 😛

                @valtmy Okay.  Should I tag you as “brunch”? ( @catwing ) 😉

                Haha, I guess it wouldn’t have done me any good to look it up, in that case. 😛  Good thing I asked you.

                But did I hear aright?  Did your little, selfish Myeongwol actually feel pity for someone other than herself? 😮 😛

                "Sylvester - Sylvester!"

                  @rochellaine *leaps in through the window* BRUNCH!!!

                    @rochellaine

                    The sentence stated that she felt regret, not pity. @seekjustice has read Part 2 so she would know who Hyunjoo is so the sentence might make more sense to her. Not that either of you would be able to really tell what’s going on. These kinds of sentences only make sense in context. 😛

                    But yes, I’ll be worried if Myeongwol has gotten absolutely no development until now.

                        @catwing Hello! 😀

                        Brunch is amazing, isn’t it?  I mean, for breakfast, your choices are limited, but brunch can be anything!  There are so many possibilities!

                        Are you writing now?  Or did you just come for the food?


                        @valtmy
                        Ah, big difference there. 😛  I see.  Yes, context is everything. 😉

                        "Sylvester - Sylvester!"

                          Hi, like I told @rochellaine I’ll be going out for a while so I won’t be able to word war but I will be able to chat if you want.

                            @rochellaine

                            I recall reading some article somewhere about sentences which make sense in context but sound really weird/hilarious/nonsensical/criminal when they are just put out there by itself. That’s the sort of thing that happens when we put out the last sentence of our word wars 😛

                              @catwing I can probably word war in a few minutes.  I’ll let you know when I’m ready.

                              How’s NaNo going for you?

                                  I’ll write a bit! I’m not up for a word war, though. 😛 (And no, I’m not doing NaNo.)

                                  You can pronounce it however you want.
