006 ❀ We need a little pretty 'cause this country’s insane

[Chidori, for once, looks on the more pleasant side of stoic, fingers idly taking the measure of some fabric as she speaks. It would be a lot more pleasant, of course, if one of her axes and a whetstone weren't settled on the side opposite the fabric.

But oh well.]

Jade, if you would like to start your lessons today, I will be free this afternoon. Should anyone else like a sewing lesson, feel free to stop in- we'll be in the workshop.

Dave, perhaps you can be my model again for this.

[She hesitates before the next part, but only for a moment- negligible to most people.]

...Strega... Dinner, perhaps?

[floreatnoctem]

No, not really. Just thinking aloud, don't mind me.

[knightime]

now im going to be suspicious of all your actions
all of them

[floreatnoctem]

Oh but whatever for?

[knightime]

im onto you
you and your motives

[He has no idea what he's talking about.]

[floreatnoctem]

Oh no, I have been discovered- no more of my nefarious plans will ever come to fruition!

[knightime]

foiled again
you would have gotten away with it too
if it werent for those pesky kids

[floreatnoctem]

And their little dog, too.

[Mixed metaphor, so to speak, but damned if she cares.]

[knightime]

you rose on the cool echeladder just now for getting the reference

[floreatnoctem]

I suppose there are some who wouldn't here, aren't there?

[Sad, tbqh.]

[knightime]

my pop culture references are wasted on them

[floreatnoctem]

I'm sure you'll find another person or two who appreciates you reminding them of things no one can really get into anymore.

[knightime]

its a hard job when most people dont
its like my pop culture references arent even culture
my material is outdated
im working with stuff thats lost their importance

[floreatnoctem]

Things only lose their importance if you let yourself believe they have. So long as it's important to you, it's important to someone, right?

[knightime]

its not was fulfilling if youre the only one who gets your references
its like trying to school little kids on how to do brain surgery

[floreatnoctem]

I don't know- I think that's still better than losing the references entirely, don't you?

[knightime]

it gets boring after awhile if they dont get it

[floreatnoctem]

Ah. I suppose it would get dull having to constantly explain things to people.

[knightime]

its nicer if people actually get it i guess

[floreatnoctem]

Easier too. It sort of ruins the joke explaining it.

[knightime]

my genius is wasted on simpletons obviously

[floreatnoctem]

Clearly you need sharper minds to challenge your rapier wit, Dave.

[knightime]

or minds that didnt come from the medieval times or something

[floreatnoctem]

Perhaps. Or perhaps you should just make the jokes and if no one understands then it's their own problem.

[knightime]

its less awesome if only youre the one that thinks what you said is pure gold
sigh

[floreatnoctem]

Well, your decision in the end whether or not it's worth it.
