Chapter One, Act 9

[seekthebird]

A strange event indeed. It was as if I was speaking another language... I'm still not quite sure what a "rofl" is. "Btw"? "Brb

It was chat speak.

[seekthebird]

I've never heard of it. Is it native to your world?

[idkmybfftony]

Kind of!

More so it's an abbreviated way to speak so that you don't accidentally get killed while you're playing. Typing long sentences in some games is really hard and time consuming!

So like.. 'rofl' is 'rolling on the floor laughing', 'brb' is 'be right back' and 'btw' is 'by the way'!

There's a lot more of them!

[seekthebird]

...Normally the solution for that would be not to speak, but I digress. What else is there?

[trolling forever] IE: Video

[souchouofcurry]

Ku ku ku...hearing you say those things sounds ridiculous.

[videooo]

[seekthebird]

Then perhaps you'd like to enlighten me on the meaning?

[Switched to Text for a moment, then back to Video]

[souchouofcurry]

[Text]

ROFL - Roll(ing) on the floor laughing.

BTW - By the way.

BRB - Be Right Back.

[Video]

There are a lot of other terms too... ku ku ku!

[video] ohgod that icon is glorious

[seekthebird]

...Abbreviations? Peculiar, though I do not recall actually rolling on the floor.

What about "lol"?

[nailsareawesome]

I...don't know what any of that meant either. It's so weird.

I said 'lol' a lot too. Huh...

[seekthebird]

'Tis frustrating. I can't even be sure if I've been insulted.

Hmm... someone here must know. It came from someone's memories, after all.

[nailsareawesome]

It's pretty annoying...

I'm sure someone'll come and tell you. Unless they want to laugh at you or something.

[hatebirds]

I'm sorry for bothering you during the event. I was not myself.

[seekthebird]

...It's fine. Neither was I.
