Practice threading for Distant Skies!

[jurisimpudent]

I'll not waste my breath pointing out the utter idiocy of your plans to join this game; such words are, to my way of thinking, trite by virtue of their inevitability. Yes, you - like nearly everyone else - have comparatively limited time. And, of course, you wish to play the martyr over this, agonize and complain, so that others will know just how busy and important you are. I'm not going to enable such self-indulgent behavior.

Rather, I'll merely tell you this: if you think you're so utterly and terribly busy, if you think that you've so little time, then don't waste it further with whining. Instead, make it count. I've no use for someone who will dither rather than be a productive member of society.

I think you're lyin', actually. I think you might be twistin' words round just to suit your argument.

[jurisimpudent]

I'll wait. "D" comes after "C," if you've not studied that far yet!

[allucinator]

[He grins a little, but bites down on it.]

Do you got one on you?

[jurisimpudent]

[A slight pause, but then he reaches into his jacket for a pocket dictionary.]

[allucinator]

What is wrong with you?

[jurisimpudent]

Do you not want it, then?

[allucinator]

Why do you carry a dictionary around?

[jurisimpudent]

For a situation like this!

[allucinator]

What the hell would make you think this would come up?

[jurisimpudent]

It came up, did it not? Ergo, my precaution was justified.

[allucinator]

And how long have you been carryin' this dictionary?

[jurisimpudent]

...Several months.

[allucinator]

Well, you showed me.

[jurisimpudent]

Look up the word.

[allucinator]

Don't think I will.

[jurisimpudent]

Then I win by default.

[allucinator]

Nope.

[jurisimpudent]

Yes, I do.
