shitposting rave 3: Dawn of the third rave

THAT LIKE TOTALLY SMELLS NICE.
ICELEAF? OR WHAT DID YOU JUST PUT IN?
[she sits down next to the nice lady with tea. Afficionados of feel good beverages should always make time to exchange tips after all.]

 

Do ya gotta know him to think it's funny when a jet falls flat on his face? I swear the video is solid gold, I mean OBVS or I wouldn't be tryin' to sell it I have like a quality standard ya know

 

Ratio. Stop trying to sell Lord Starscream's sparkling videos to people. It stopped being funny the first five times.

 

Caaaaaaap, you are like so totally a spoilsport like I can almost not believe that from someone I have on tape doing--....
[Oops suddenly there is a hand over his mouth muffling the flood of words. Just what did he get a tape of the Captain doing? The world may never know.]

 

"I can smell coffee back there," Angela judges, and looks for it. Ah, there. She pours herself a mug and sips at it black. "Not bad, Mama Ana."

 

Acerbic? A bit, yes, but not too much so. Keep in mind my culture offends and scandalizes the rest of the world on a regular basis though, dear.

Never mind that now though. As to the coffee, I figured that its scent would call you over. It is a bribe, you see. Now here. Take one of these things before I fret too much. *gestures to the donuts*

Oh? You think so! That's good! It is mint. There is sugar in it as well. Bi'sukr wa na3na3.

 

"Your plans to fatten me for market won't work, Mama Ana."

But she takes a donut. Whoo. Caffiene, starch and sugar, the diet of residency. "Feels like old times, almost."

 

IT DOES! DO THEY CALL IT MINT WHERE YOU ARE FROM?
ALSO LIKE SO SORRY BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT LAST BIT?I KNOW LOTS OF LANGUAGE BUT NOT THAT ONE!!

 

"Ah, you're another ... troll, was it? The insect people. I just find it odd that you would have evolved to be so human-looking." She smiles at Loreli. "Dr. Angela Ziegler."

 

Bah. There goes that plan to get this negative influence away from my darling Fareeha. I will have to make another.

And it is...A bit.

They call it mint in English. My language however it is na3na3. It's 3arbiya, Arabic. What is it in German again, Angela? Mint but angry sounding?

 

YUP! WE ARE INSECTOIDS! ITS NOT SUPER LIKE OBVIOUS EXCEPT WHEN YOU HEAR HOW ALTERNIAN SOUNDS I GUESS?

[she rattles off into a series of clicks and chirps though they sound oddly... glubby? Her fishtroll accent isn't strong but it is there!]

AH! SEE ALTERNIAN ONLY HAS DIALECTS NOT COMPLETE OTHER LANGUAGES! THAT'S LIKE SO COOL THOUGH!!

 

"Pfefferminztee, Mama Ana. Why do you think German sounds angry? It's a beautiful and expressive language." She grins as she says it.

"That sounds fascinating! I imagine humans do very poorly at it. Different structures. But we have thousands of languages."

 

Yes, yes, a beautiful, angry language to compliment my choking on my own phlegm. Or my tongue. It depends on the word of the day!

Only dialects? How does that work? Are you insects more agreeable than we are? At least linguistically. You can't even get us to agree about whether it is giim or jiim or shiim.

 

"Likewise. I'm Valiska Pines, and I live on the planet Pennarion in Dimension 52. My mates are human; they're from two different Earths. We're dimensional travellers."

 

Oh, pardon me. I am an old friend of Angela's. A mentor, you might say. Ana Amari. Would you care for some tea? There are sweets as well.

-the cup is already poured and held out. you do not refuse amari hospitality-

 

"What's wrong? You needn't fear me, child. I don't normally behave like that, but I'd had quite enough of his disrespect for women and children." Valiska smiles gently. "I am not sure I should drink that, though; if there is a lot of sugar in it, it could make me ill."

 

"I would love some tea, but I am a cat and cannot have sweets." Valiska takes the cup and drinks.

 

...

...the tea is sweetened, dear.

 

Would you prefer some coffee? Or should we seek medical attention? There are two of us medics on the scene conveniently. I'm sorry, I didn't realize you weren't able to have sweets and you had taken the cup...

 

"Oh dear," Valiska says. "It is. Well, fortunately this is a dreamspace, so I will just have to will myself not to be badly affected." She smiles. "I can have a little more than usual since I am pregnant with half human kits, but I put rather too much stress on my pancreas when I was a young girl and far too careless."
