voice-testing, decidedly homeless

Burning the candle at both ends? At least you're doing it here, but using your time this aimlessly is idiotic. I don't need to be drifting like a jellyfish while you scramble everywhere - especially since you've neglected the narcissist, and now his indignance is tangible.

Hmph. Though not as much as it used to be, I suppose.

. . .

Well? What are you waiting for? Finish your work! I'll let you know in the unlikely event that anyone is struck dumb by the brilliance of pretentious icon keywords or a Horrible Histories reference.


What do you- why wouldn't I know Horrible Histories?

For what little worth it is, my mundane is howling at the Horrible Histories reference.

[skinnymandria]

From what I've seen she's not hard to amuse.

[axeatyourside]

And all I'm hearing is something about being the province's, "finest governor."

[skinnymandria]

I . . . suppose that's a compliment.

[aversiontoredlights]

Geez... is everyone in this place pissed off at their mun?

[skinnymandria]

Anger has nothing to do with it. I just think she's being stupid and shortsighted.

Though now that you mention it, it does look like tempers run a little hot around here.

[aversiontoredlights]

That's a fuckin' understatement, pal. I don' consider myself exempt though... I'm just more brains than I am finger t'the trigger.

[skinnymandria]

That's sensible. Actions you don't think about ahead of time are just as likely to be useless, or even harmful, in the long run.

[philalexandros]

It's of little use to try to order them around.

[skinnymandria]

That could be, but it's a dereliction not to try.

[philalexandros]

And it requires an amount of patience that not everyone has.

[skinnymandria]

I'm a teacher, I think I can manage.

[hetairoooyjenkins]

Heh.

You still like to give orders, don't you?

I- that-

[What. How. Where did he even come from.]

[skinnymandria]

You're one to talk!

[hetairoooyjenkins]

Of course! If I didn't, then I'd be a shameful king indeed! *RIDER-SLAP ON THE BACK.*

[skinnymandria]

[He manages to stay upright! If barely. And in a way resembling a crane that's been startled. Huffing, he straightens, patting down his coat.]

What's shameful is not even saying hello like a proper person.

[There's less heat in the tone than there could be - much less. It's the curious nostalgia of bruised ribs and graceless flailing, he supposes.]

[hetairoooyjenkins]

*Grinning.* I've said hello like I should! What could be more proper?

[skinnymandria]

[Just stares at him a moment, then sighs. Unlike years ago, there's appreciation, even in the exasperation.]

. . . nothing at all.
