It'll be reassuring to have my feet on solid ground again, even if said solid ground is sand and thus not really very solid at all

This is the sound of me completely ignoring the rest of your entry...Aren't I charming?

I cannot. Believe. You just said wrote. Piffle.

Oh, and I pretty much think it means "Pip pip cherrio, you old sot!" in Argent-speak.

[twoninths]

When I say piffle, I mean piffle, Throne. Were I to mean "Pip pip cherrio," I believe what I would write is "Pip pip cherrio."

Also, there is nothing wrong with piffle.

[child_proteus]

Okay then, Mr. Britain. Enlighten the ignorant masses. What exactly do you mean when you say piffle.

And if you say "I mean piffle" again, so help me god...

And, I didn't say there was anything wrong with you saying piffle, might I add. It's just the thought of you saying piffle out-loud. It's kind of. Precious. Funny.

[twoninths]

I mean piff

Piffle. The sound of me rejecting and belittling that particular suggestion.

I don't think there is anything funny about being belittled, Throne. Do you?

[shouldve_didnt]

An adventurous spirit, eh? You don't happen to have a job yet, do you? Because if you're this daring, then I wouldn't mind having you on one of the adventurer teams. Might as well take every opportunity to find what we can in that ever-changing wilderness, after all.

[twoninths]

Your offer is quite appreciated!

Though, let's see how I acquit myself first, hm? Admirable intentions aside, I can't think I would be much good to you if I get to the islands and spend all my time cowering behind trees.

[shouldve_didnt]

Sure, if that's what you'd like, although I'd hardly consider you a burden. I'd learned early on through experience that if one remains alone in the wilderness, he becomes completely lost and unable to return to the elevator of his own accord. It's probably a strange characteristic of the wilderness, so it'd be best if you had some companion with you at least. Wouldn't want you getting so lost that you couldn't return, after all.

[twoninths]

Ah! I would enjoy company! Certainly, I would enjoy it more than being irretrievably lost.

[child_proteus]

Trust? See, this guy is British. Say hello. Maybe get him to say "queer" in a sentence.

SO ARE WE.

[child_proteus]

Well. If you want to get technical, I'm pretty sure queer meant strange way before it mean you-know-what. They're kind of old school and repressed. British means you come from Britain. Which is part of the world where I'm -- and assumably Argent -- is from.

Unless, of course, Argent comes from a world somewhere where everybody is just inherently British. The prospect of which is kind of freaky.

what mean mystical fairy power?
and piffle?

[twoninths]

Ah, mystical fairy power is the magic that fairies use! As far as I can tell, it involves sparkles and rainbows and being very cryptic. Also, they have wings and can fly.

Piffle is quite different. It's more a sound than a word, for when you think something that someone has said is utter nonsense. You sort of spit it out: PIffle.

[bearhearted]

oh
like the one who writes in rainbow?
that mystical fairy power?

piffle useful word
claw remember
thank argent for good word

[twoninths]

There are quite a lot of people here, so I'm not certain I have run into the rainbow-writer.

However, my understanding is that rainbows indicate fairies, elves, unicorns, leprechauns, or possibly Isaac Newton. Do any of those seem likelier than the others?

And you're most welcome, as always, Claw.

[meveningstar]

What does hyperbolic mean?

[twoninths]

It's when something is exagerrated. But in this case, I really do find having sand in my shoes more uncomfortable than any of the other things I mentioned.

[meveningstar]

But at lest you can make sand castles with sand.

[twoninths]

Not if it's in my shoe, I can't!
