Daeus

@emma-flournoy More like I’ll be creeped out and want to run for my life.

@kate-flournoy Well, I am a reckless gambler at heart. Gotta at least try the last ditch efforts.

*looks at hand* Excuse me while I go rub off this wing print.

Alrighty. *shakes hands* All’s right. It was getting rather difficult to lie nonstop anyways. I guess it’s not my thing. You were right, Kate. Maybe I should just be honest. *Takes a deep breath* I shall try.

Kate, now you’re just being impertinent.

Hope no doubt hopes she were gone by now, I’m Schmidtin with horror, and I’m so lacking for a proper metaphor for this situation I’m just going steal from Emma and call you a bird of prey.

*looks very depressed at palm of hand as if I’ve never seen it before*

“steal” is my life motto however.

Now,…[Read more]

@winter-rose Cool. I should be able to find time to join you this afternoon.

Ahgh! You literally are the creepiest person I’ve ever met.

@kate-flournoy Hmm, still no idea.

@emma-flournoy Does your sister really look like an owl?

@emma-flournoy Drat. I thought you might be.

“I was terribly exasperated, but it was the laugh out loud exasperation.
Oh no, Daeus! Were we exasperating you?!”

*Facepalm* Don’t even try it.

@kate-flournoy I literally have absolutely no idea what you just said.

Well good. I was terribly exasperated, but it was the laugh out loud exasperation.

@emma-flournoy

Oh, you’re only flustergated? Whew. I was afraid we’d been causing your feelings to hurt terribly.

Wait, really?

If so, I’m greatly excited because I was totally bluffing.

You’re all such amazing flatterers. *warm sigh* I really need to take classes from you.

Ooooooh… I get to have a reforged sword? *Hyperventilates* Does thi…[Read more]

Well, there you go. The doctor has spoken. You are obviously abusing my mental frailties and need to stop.

@kate-flournoy *is flooded with relief* Thanks. Snickering is much better.

I happen to enjoy flattery. You’re incredibly good at peeving me. So much so that I want to take classes from you.

@aella Ok, I see what you’re saying here. I did pretty much that exact thing myself. I never did any articles myself though, just small stories and some poems. When I started editing my novel though, I pretty much forgot about it, but it was great while I was still “building” my writing.

@aella What’s your goal?

Well, thanks. I do like that sword after all.

But stop chuckling. This is not funny.

*weeps*

Hope y’all understand I’m not offended and all, just a bit flustergated. Especially at you, Kate. *scowls*

Ok, maybe we don’t need to solve this with a sword fight after all. I guess you and Kate were more perceptive than I thought (I’ll be up all night thinking of ways to be more subtle). You both win whatever awards are awarded for this type of thing. So, I guess I’m just feeling totally incompetent at this type of thing. It wasn’t my best try of…[Read more]

@the-bean I don’t think I’ve heard that term before, but do you simply mean the cultivation of trees? That’s pretty neat stuff. Love trees.

Howdy Bean,

Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet.

I think forestry’s awesome. What’s your profession goal with that? Are you into agroforestry by any chance?

@kate-flournoy *folds hands* *smiles lightly* I wouldn’t try it.

@emma-flournoy Well, I wouldn’t exactly call it faking. I prefer to think of it as being selective with my impressions. I guess you can phrase it however you want though, but that’s just you.

@emma-flournoy Yep. Those describe me perfectly, though what’s even more true is that I play through possible future situations with people and converse back and forth with them, generally saying something wrong and then talking my way out of it. My favorite mental game is playing myself conversing against a friend and then trying to avoid…[Read more]
