oh no a voicetest why

[shallwe]

I believe it is at this juncture you attempt to make a compelling argument for yourself.

Allow me to spare us both your prattle: I have better and certainly more important things to be doing with my time than appeasing your fanciful whims. As I'm sure you perhaps do as well.

So, abandon whatever notions you have at this point and let us be on our separate ways.

The man speaks as if there's someone listening.

[shallwe]

I suppose that is far too much to ask of some.

[lifescratched]

"Fanciful whims" often hold more sway here than the arguments made against them, Father.

[shallwe]

Why yes, they do.

Rationality is rather difficult for naive fools to comprehend.

[lifescratched]

Insults will not avail you to much, either.

[Connor's helpful. So helpful.]

[shallwe]

Well then, Son, I defer to your expertise. Would you be so kind as to bestow it upon me so that I might know how best to proceed with this matter?

[Sarcasm? What are you talking about?]

[lifescratched]

[DEADEYES. Why don't you take your sarcasm and shove it up your... Okay fine whatever.]

Mundanes will choose to do as they please, whether you will it or not. You can advise them, yes, but you cannot tell them what they must do. If your mundane intends to keep you around for some time, you should grow used to the idea.

[penintime]

Damn. That's a really persuasive argument. Trying to figure out what really sold it for me.

Oh wait! I got it.

It was totally the hat.

[shallwe]

[If bland looks could kill.]

[You are not funny, Holder. Stop trying to be.]

How fortunate you are so easily inspired.

[penintime]

Hey, hey. I'm not easily nothin'. I'm serious about the hat. What, I don't look serious to you?

[shallwe]

[Why are you like this?]

Do you always ask questions knowing full well what the answer will be?

[penintime]

[You like it.]

What's that supposed to mean? You don't like the hat?

[givetheslip]

Unfortunately, these folk are very good at interrupting our plans, and even better at deafening themselves to our protests.

[Hi, fellow Templar. ...sort of.]

[shallwe]

[hay gurl hay.]

Ignorance unfortunately remains their choice.

[givetheslip]

A choice that normally I would say they should be allowed to make. I'm less inclined to leave it at that when their actions affect us even more than them.

[shallwe]

It is so refreshing to hear someone talking sense.

[Besides him, anyway.]

[let_it_go]

Mundanes tend not to listen, despite our protestations. However, perhaps yours will be less stubborn.

[shallwe]

One can only hope. I don't place stock much into hope, however.

[She did choose him, after all. That speaks to some larger degree of stubbornness.]

[let_it_go]

[Elsa kept her face impassive, except for that smallest quirk of her brow and the tiniest twitch of her mouth curving into something like a frown.]

I agree. If a resolution to your predicament should arise, then it would only be a happy coincidence.

[shallwe]

[Haytham as a look of dry amusement.]

Coincidence will also have very little to do with it - happy or otherwise.

[And he leans more towards otherwise for either party involved.]

[captainpissoff]

Nothin' wrong with indulging in the odd fanciful whim every now and then. Can be quite a lucrative business if you're one of the lucky ones.

[shallwe]

[Dad. Dad, no.]

And is that what you would consider yourself? One of the lucky ones?

[captainpissoff]

[Don't argue with your elders, boyo.]

Wouldn't go callin' myself unlucky, but then again the wench who calls herself responsible for me's not decided on what she wants to do with me just yet. Better to put on a charm offensive than act as though you've got your breeches wedged too far up your arse.

That's some free advice for you, mate.

[shallwe]

[What are you gonna do? Ground him? B(((]

Free advice that has clearly taken you far.

wild jefferson appears. B)

[red_fox]

...I often align with that precise sentiment, good sir.
