[ So, Roy hasn't been around that long, but he's gotten to know Keeliai, the natives, heard about the Emperor and definitely picked up on the tension between foreigners and the Kedan, but just out right asking about What The Hell Is Wrong With This Place seems a little too obvious. And lame.

And this way is much more fun. ]


Okay so is there a part of living on the back of a giant magic turtle that isn't supposed to be completely awesome? Because a lot of you seem to be really bummed about it, and I'm starting to think it's more than just a strong case of Stick Up The Ass going around.

[ And frankly, Roy likes looking like the idiot. He raises up a hand holding some kind of Kedanian smoothie in the cafe he's seated in, and gives an 'okay, humor me' kind of gesture. ]

Let's pretend for two seconds that you're all actually the most boring people ever and the part where we're on a monster turtle isn't enough for you - you're getting what's practically a free vacation. A beautiful city on a tropical island that's really more like a cruise, and even a space you can go sit near Yurtle's massive head and zen your neurotic brains out. The closest we have to that at home is legalizing pot.

I know I'm inviting a sea of sarcastic quips to kill my buzz about the whole badass Suessical adventure, so let's try to be organized and civil about this - there's only so much scathing sardonicism I can handle at once. Please fill out the attached form and get back to me:
Your Name: Self explanatory.
Your Age: It'd probably explain some things, I'm jussayin.
Level of Suck of Your Homeworld: On a scale of Fantasia to Bambi. Just trying to keep some perspective.
Your Complaints About Our Magical Turtle Adventure: Let it all out, brothers and sisters. Testify.
Notes: Whatever. How's my hair?

Thank you for your participation! Here is a wavier for your free snow cone! Not really. Sorry.
[ Oh wait, just this last piece here: ] Also, if you know anyone who likes to run around in tights and a mask, maybe a cape, let me know? Thanks! [ A little salute, and he signs out. ]

[[ ooc; If you could, please fill out his permissions post ova hurr, and here's the html for his little questionnaire thing :>

[Henry's idle—genuinely idle—and has only just now discovered this. Cue amusement. His age many or may not be accurate.]

Your Name: Lord Henry Wotton
Your Age: Forty-five.
Level of Suck of Your Homeworld: I am afraid I am not familiar with this charming piece of argot.
Your Complaints About Our Magical Turtle Adventure: As others have stated, the rationing and the increasing tensions are by far the least enjoyable aspects of our stay here. The desolation of the scenery outside the city is also singularly depressing.
Notes: Are you in need of a barber, dear fellow?

Slang? Jargon?

Far be it from me to prescribe a hair style; I was simply attempting to address your question.

[He's still confused, but gives up.]

Well, I am from London in the late nineteenth century; all other things being equal, I suppose it is no better nor worse than anywhere else.

So far as I can tell, your coiffure is acceptable.

Naturally. What gentleman does not? Though I gather that men are disinclined to wear hats in the latter half of the twentieth century.

I see no reason why it should not.

[Henry's amused.]
