Sad, really.

[ladylight]

I am a sad loser. So far I love my translation class, even as the steam wafts gently off my simmering brain.

In other news, I am still a sad loser, and have done four more of those list things to prove it. XD

"Bubbling paladin" makes for a somewhat disturbing mental image.

I'm a little surprised, actually, that Schiri can lie, but I suppose that's because the concept of saying something isn't when you know it is just makes my brain hurt, and Schiri seems to be a very what-exists-exists sort of person.

[leaves a rubik's cube to see what Alyssa's characters make of it]

Dammit! I left him on the boil again! Turn the heat down, Isaille.

But he's not well-done yet.

*half-opens mouth*

Now, really, Schiri. Don't get lazy. That's just too obvious.

*concedes point and closes mouth*

Ah, but lying is also a survival skill, like non-poisonous bugs with scarlet shells and whatnot. Dark Elven abstraction is quite limited (metaphors often annoy Schiri), but I've always figured them capable of lying. Probably something like the same reason that lets them have some kind of social structure (however tenuous) rather than everything just being a complete 'who-can-does' free-for-all.

*points* What is the cube?

Ooh, yeah, look at the colours on it!

Eh? Oh, it's a tool for exercising the brain.

*recoils*

How?

You have to work out how to put all the same colours on the same side.

What manner of mental stretch is that, hmm?

Without removing the stickers.

Eh? Why not?

Because that's the rule.

Fascinating. I am sure this manner of mental application would prove useful indeed, were Paladins geometric figures

Glad to hear you like your class, brain-fever notwithstanding. ;)

These (top three) were fun.

Cochalyon...like I needed to like him any more, darnit! Number 19! Eee, a fellow language-hater! *swoons* ;)

Also, I think he would probably find democracy a bit 'untidy.' =D

I'm with Maios on 13. He does seems a 'live in the moment' fellow. I've a feeling he and Copper could get in far too much trouble together.

And then there's wonderful Lorannon...
"The prerequisites for becoming one of Lorannon's friends are extremely low: a pulse and a moderate sense of humour are usually enough."
Heh, he's got higher standards than Copper, then! ;P

Thanks for sharing your 'loserness'!

[ladylight]

Eee, a fellow language-hater!

Hmmm, language-hating is fine for people with no interest in or involvement with people from foreign countries, but for a diplomat whose job it is to deal with such people day to day, I find it extremely irresponsible. :/ I actually put it in thinking of it as a negative trait. (Isaille, now ... Isaille hates languages too, and she likewise doesn't have to care about languages, so I don't mind. XD)

*cackles* Oh, yes, he'd think democracy simply appalling. XD Like people can ever be expected to know what they want!

I've a feeling he and Copper could get in far too much trouble together.
-- Hee! We need some kind of room with Copper, Nuan and Maios in it. Or, on second thoughts, we really, really don't. XD (I can see Llao dashing for the bulldozer even now.)

Thankees for reading, me dear! And a lovely Saturdy to ye :D

[sharaith]

Have I mentioned before how much I love Lorannon? *huggles the paladin*

Schiri is definitely the product of a set of sociopathic memes - really, I wonder how the Dark Elven race survived without imploding from all that backstabbing. ^_^

This probably implies that he has some desire to improve them and make them see reason, though they can be forgiven for not appreciating it. XD <--- LOL! Ungrateful humans - though I'm sure they'd be the first to assure him that he needn't trouble himself. :P

[ladylight]

Imploding, or haemorrhaging? XD

Schiri is a freak. This is a long-established fact.

Like that other fact.

What other fact?

Me being fabulous.

I see.

Or hang on ... was it another word ending in '-ous'?

Only if it wasn't 'splendiferous' or 'stupendous'.

I think it might have been 'ridiculous'.

I think it might have been.

Never mind.

[telyanofcelore]

Ah, Schiri. I love how perplexed he is by concepts of ethics. He and Lorannon would get on quite well, I think, if they could lay aside the whole racial hatred and differing perceptions of the importance of ethics thing.

At any rate, I'd like to see it. *gets popcorn and smirks*

[ladylight]

Heh, I think that even if someone invented a machine to surgically implant the understanding of why you really shouldn't kill people into Schiri's brain, these two would just not get along. Neither take too well to other personalities who think they're always right (since the answer in every case is, obviously, 'me'). XD

*... wonders what that machine would look like* O_o
