shitposting rave 3: Dawn of the third rave

My daughter is not hitting on you, you smug, self-satisfied creep.

For someone committed to platonic relationships you sure don't seem to recognise platonic hatred.

 

...to be fair, "punch your face with my face" seems to indicate some level of... ah... non-platonic interest, even if it is only a passing impulse.

 

[] If it doesn't. then me and a lot of my kaliginous galhood hoocups were very konfused,

 

They specifically replied t9 me with the 96vi9us expressi9n 9f pitch intent, despite n9t having c9nsulted me 9r 96tained my c9nsent f9r a pu6lic display 9f affecti9n. I'm sure that if @crocellsApostate had replied t9 me with a message al9ng a similar vein, and I had rejected him, y9u w9uld 6e 9n my side. As y9u sh9uld, 6ecause I have a right t9 my pers9nal quadrantic 69undaries. Th9se 69undaries are drawn very wide 6ecause I wish n9t t9 engage 9r 6e f9rci6ly engaged with r9mantic intent.

My reply t9 @aurumIlluminatrix was n9t intended as an attack, simply a reminder that I am celi6ate and am n9t c9mf9rta6le with entertaining c9nspicuent crushes. If after 6eing p9litely inf9rmed that I am n9t l99king to 6e inv9lved with any kind 9f r9mantic affecti9n, they c9ntinue t9 reference it, then I will restate my p9siti9n m9re firmly.

9h, 9f c9urse. I w9uld never miss an 9pp9rtunity t9 pr9vide a metaph9rical stream t9 quench 9ne wh9 thirsts f9r kn9wledge. I especially feel that this is an imp9rtant cr9ss-cultural exchange, as I w9uld 6e very interested t9 kn9w h9w y9ur native language functi9ns and h9w it ev9lves t9 supp9rt devel9ping disc9urse.

Ign9ring y9ur ad tr9llian, I 6elieve that 'punch y9ur face with my face' is a thinly veiled 9sculati9n reference. If AI c9mes f9rward and clarifies that I misunderst99d their intent, I will ap9l9gize for the misc9ncepti9n. H9wever, as the matter rests currently, their message was quite clearly intended in a n9n-plat9nic way. Please d9 n9t attempt t9 derail 9ur discussi9n if y9u d9 n9t have anything c9nstructive t9 c9ntri6ute.

 

[] And. uh. red konkupeskent. too. probably,
[] And pale.
[] Ashen?
[] ...
[] It's a prelude to smookhin', But cisses kan still be platonik!!!!!!

 

"I feel this way" is an expression, yes, exactly. Achromat Nichrome has not yet attempted to act on that expression-- personally construed as an invitation, which may be either accepted or declined; therefore confused by what seemed to be aggressive wording, which I am willing to admit may be a processor glitch on my part. To borrow a phrase used earlier, my threat-flagging malfunctions continue to be "a thing" as well.

Heard and agreed.

Apologies for misparsing, then.

Would be quite interested in sharing, actually, if Kankri has the inclination and time to listen! [Her visor brightens, and she resizes herself to Kankri's height.] Primary area of focused study is not actually my first language, but... that study is mainly focused on reconstructing the language and is as yet unfinished! In any case, would be more than glad to explain the basics of Licentan-- would Kankri prefer to begin with written glyphs, vocalizations, or grammatical structure? Or, more widely speaking, the known history of the language and how it theoretically evolved from PV and the other ancestral languages up the metaphorical chain?

 

-Mituna looks decidedly suspicious.-

If I say I'm personally offended by the hack-job your race has made of psionic interface technology and am all for getting our people together to design something better, does that help any?

 

"She's younger than she looks and she has repeatedly stated that she is disinterested in such matters," Valiska says, scowling; it doesn't help that she can't imagine anyone actually wanting to see what's under that sweater.

"No, you're not wrong to be concerned, I would be concerned. I can tell you that my intent is to prevent the shed of as much innocent blood as is possible, and that if I survive and you survive what's coming to us no matter what we do or don't do, I'll do my best to make sure you get it regardless of whether you're able to help us or not."

 

I'm sorry, good sir, but I'm not quite sure the lady in question did, in fact, mean that. That sounds like quite an awful position for auscultation - you can't exactly listen to the movements of the brain. (That is, if you did indeed say "auscultation" - I'm afraid all of your accents are very strange to me.) And a stethoscope is much more efficient than immediate auscultation, besides.

I'm going to need feedback eventually - and if we're in touch with you in our in-story universe at the point I'm ready for guinea pigs, I will definitely keep that in mind. *smiles* The tech end is really not my skillset - that's Riki, and Brick - but I'm going to be helping with the medical side of the project.

-The smile on his face is a little forced. He knows he doesn't like the idea of Meenah dying -and his dislike for the notion makes him sick- but dislike for the idea of his own death? That's new. -

 

ahaha, wow, helmin talk!! im suer glad i picked now 2 drop buy......

ler GASP!!!! izzat SKIPPY i c ovr there????

-Demmel only gives @saxifragousBrocard a few seconds to prepare before launching himself psionicly at his back. He is not over-cautious about where his sleek robolegs are flailing.-

 

-He levies an amused look at Ilbodo.-

5k1ppy, huh??

 

*blinks*

That's something to factor in, then.

 

-0 No...!

-Ilbodo is not prepared, for either the impact of a surprisingly heavy oliveblood or the metal knee slamming into his gills. He takes a knee, wheezing things like, "every godsdamned time," and "for Lords' sakes why do you do this to me," and "you shrimpy psionic devil I hate you."-

-He glares at him with watery eyes.-

-He gives Sev not one but two thumbs ups to show how extra super chill he is with this development, though the smile now looks more like a grimace. No one else will take it seriously if he doesn't, right? Right??-

-Mituna starts snickering. Nothing like a pissy teenager to shake someone out of their momentary funk. -

 

-Demmel tumbles to the ground on his ass and immediately pops back up to flutter his hands at Ilbodo.-

SORRY!! sorry skippy sorry sorry oh em gee.... oh em geeeeeeee..........

-Despite wearing the expression of a scolded puppy, Demmel is a sympathetic giggler.-

 

533, 5k1ppy?? 7h3y 7h1nk 17'5 funny!!

-After a few more moments of snickering he quiets down.-
