shitposting rave 4: (almost) anything goes

Are Too! Times Infinity.

 

Pooh, she's one of those people. The ones where the fourth wall doesn't apply to them.

 

Sloane smirked.

"....yeah, you're a kid by my standards, but fifty thousand is. Really very not. Humans have short lives," Sloane informed Averagius.

 

それはあなたが一生懸命やっている

Yeah. I'm really not a kid. But I sometimes act like one.

 

What? That's upsetting! D:

 

???

okay, look, if i stop doing the accent, vwill you explain vwhat the fuck youre talking about.

 

Prior to rediscovering the colonies No one of our kind was known to be younger than... somewhere between two and one million years old. I forget when the last batches of MTOs happened.

 

Valiska's ears prick up. "Yes, I'm fine. I was worried about you. Hopelessness is exhausting."

 

Approximately 500,000 years ago was the last occasion any cold-constructed sparks were thawed into frames. I was one of the final waves.

 

"And why wouldn't you? It's fun."

"Woah, wait, did you not know humans have short lives?" Sloane asked, alarmed. "Uh, I mean...no, it's okay, it's fine, because...life being short just means we value it more! Plus, humans aren't really cut out for super long lives....we just couldn't handle that much. Not built for it, you know? Lives as long as Norm's would be bad for us."

 

... so, I don't need to talk to you in Japanese after all?

 

the fuck is japanese.

 

The language we were both speaking in before.

 

you mean beforan?

 

"That's the worst Japanese I've ever heard. And his is no better than yours," Ford says, once again trying not to crack up. "But you lost him when you used 'shigoto'. That means an actual job."

 

"....true," Sloane said after a moment, "but you learn to live with it. I'm seventeen, I think I'm pretty well adjusted for my circumstances....seventeen years of hopelessness and it stops getting to you so much. You just accept it as your life. Plus, I'm here now, at least for a bit, so....it's not all bad." She shrugged.

 

I guess?

*laughs* It's been a while since I've needed to use the language.

 

because that vwas beforan. just vwith an excellent east beforan accent on my part and a terrible one on yours.

 

Ah. My bad.
... Would it be tasteless to say "I'd hoped they stopped that earlier"?

 

East Beforan? Accent?
