shitposting rave 4: (almost) anything goes

[he narrows his eyes and glares]

This would be pretty boring prey, though, aside from the magic. It's just sitting here, practically begging to be eaten! How dull. But...I suppose, if you're not a skilled enough hunter to catch anything livelier, I can't blame you.

Have at it, but do take care not to claw me up while you're going about it. Some of us work to maintain our appearance, you know!

 

*He looks from Mistoffelees to his own impeccable manicure.*

I've decided the bird is much too thin to be worth the minimal effort required to catch it. The Rum Tum Tugger only feasts on the best of the best, the likes of which would tempt even Bustopher Jones himself.

 

[he grins]

The Rum Tum Tugger needs to discover the first person, I'd say.

 

It´s interesting!

So? Doesn´t make it wrong!

 

Henceforth, the Rum Tum Tugger will remove the words "me", "myself" and "I" from his vocabulary until such time as he ceases to care.

 

Stupid.

 

The Rum Tum Tugger invites the "eloquent" young human to express their jealousy in a more constructive manner.

 

[helpless shrug]

There's no doing anything about it! I walked into that one.

 

Yes. It exists at the edge of the realm of Man, untamed. Only witches and Woodfolk live there.

 

'Caer,' shortened from 'caeryyn'-- Ultimal Vernacular, 'stronghold, safety' and later 'one who inspires safety, confidante, mentor'; absorbed into Primal Vernacular sometime before the splitting of the Tribes. Often found in conjunction with 'atta' or 'attarim,' also Ultimal, something like 'vigilante'-- a protector unrestricted by reason or laws, one who would fight to the last to defend their own.

...When are you from, that these definitions are lost or confusing?

 

That sounds quite like the junkyard, yes! That's fascinating, I've never encountered a place like it before.

Are you a witch or Woodfolk?

 

A witch. Woodfolk are more like you.

 

[he glances down at himself]

Like Jellicles? Or like me, specifically? With the magic and whatnot.

 

...It's not that, it's that it also refers to my alt-mode.

 

Your kind. Many shape themselves from animals, and appear as them to outsiders. All have magic though, but some use it more passively.

 

*There is now a vase on his rock, that he casually shoves off.*

*Someone pay attention 2 him.*

 

A carrier is a stronghold of a sort, though...?

 

Exactly?

 

I'm... not sure I follow. What's the problem with mech-born non-cassettes using 'carrier' for the mech who carried them throughout gestation?

 

Oh, I see! Some of my kind--

[pointed glance]

--Ahem. Are distinctly less magical, though. Most of them, in fact. I'm sort of special!

Did you choose to be a witch or were you born that way? Do you have a cat? I know a couple witches' cats.
