SC: Ladies. Ladies!

SC: Why are we talking xn here when we’re all in the same building?

SC: Serixusly, I’m right xver in the library, and Kayata is hanging xff my arm. Pretty sure she’s twx secxnds frxm dragging me tx Carnival, actually.

SC: Please cxme save me. I can’t gx tx Carnival. Dx yxu knxw what that paint will dx tx my skin?

FS: 1. [ANNOYED] i am certain you are capable of freeing yourself from them through your own actions, liable. they are insistent, but ultimately harmless to ones of our blood caste.

SC: I mean, I cxuld just shxve them xff, if that’s what yxu’re saying. That is txtally an xptixn here, Marduk.

SC: But they’re chewing xff my fin.

SC: Literally. It’s great.

DI: (! In the library ~ ? At a TABLE ~ ? Good heavens ~ Hxw very salacious ~ !)

SC: Shouldn’t that be scale-acious, Sapphy?

FS: 1. [ANNOYED] no. that is a terrible pun.

DI: (! How very SCALE-ACIOUS !)

FS: 1. [???] :|

FS: 1. [ANNOYED] i would like to remind you that excessive fraternisation in the library is directly againsnt the posted rules. and being chased by the chaperone droids will not be accepted as an excuse for leaving this chat.

FS: 1. [ANNOYED] also, kayata is afraid of water, so invoking the droids is an ill-advised proposition. unless you do not actually enjoy continued possession of your aural shell? i suppose that is an option that we should all consider, given that we do not know every element of your life.

FS: 1. [CALM] despite your attempts to ensure otherwise.

SC: Xh, wxw, lxxk whx’s gxt a bee in her bxnnet. Are you saying yxu dxn’t lxve my liveblxgging? Because I’ve gxt twx thxusand stalkers xn Twitter whx think it’s great.

DI: !) :o! (!

DI: (\ Not to Brag ~ But I have five thousand ~ You are lagging behind ~ Liable ~ Try to keep up ~ ! /)

FS: 1. [COURTEOUS] and we are discussing this online, liable, because studies have found that it is far easier for trolls to remain a positive tempermanet when engaging in disagreements when there is the enforced distance of a computer screen between them. visual exposure

FS: 1. [COURTEOUS] to aggressive stimulus can result in emotional mirroring between individuals, which is then further excaberated by the number of people involved. with all three of us within the same room, this could very quickly become

SC: Xh gxd.
SC: What did I dx?
SC: Did I leave a pail xut again?

DI: \) No ~ ! ~ Or else I would have words for you ~ That is simply foul ~ and a Tramuatising Event for us all to experience ~ ! ~ ~(@n@)~ /)

SC: Lxxk, hxw dx yxu think I felt when I saw yxur lusus playing with it? Let’s try tx think abxut ME for a minute.

FS: 1. [COURTEOUS, A GENTLE REMINDER OF THE TOPIC ON HAND] this could very quickly become HAZARDOUS.

SC: I mean, I had tx thrxw it away after. Cxuldn’t even lxxk at it withxut getting all skeeved.

FS: 2. [COURTEOUS] and if you refer to page eighteen of our hiveblock handbook, it is noted very specifically by proctor sungazer that all aggression is to be restricted to a public sphere, else we will risk infractions, unless it is of a romantic nature. given our caste differences and the caste gap rule, of course, this could not be agrued

FS: 3. [ANNOYED] agured

FS: 4. [ANNOYED] arrgued!

DI: _) Argued ~ ! ~ It could not be Argued ~ ! ~ (_

FS: 1. [???] thank you, sappho.

DI: \) A thousand most heartfelt apologies for interrupting so callously ~ But ~ I must insist upon Cutting to the Heart of the Matter ~ ! ~ This is no personal flaw of your own ~ my invertebrother ~ ! ~ My shell-mate of another caste ~ ! ~ My most beloved of all our erstwhile clowns ~ ! /)

SC: I’m nxt a clxwn!

DI: \) You will be if you keep Kayata on your lap ~ They are quite adept at prosleytizing ~ Even I found myself considering a life of face-paint and mirth after an hour of their sermons ~ /)

SC: Xh my gxd.

DI: (\ ~ No ~ But ~ Marduk has Invited Us Both to speak online ~ Because ~ My dear Liable ~ because of matters that relate to us all ~ ! ~ /)

DI: (! The Fact of the Thing Is ~ If she had to lay eyes upon our faces ~ I am Afraid that Our lovely Mardie ~ WOULD CULL US BOTH ~ ! ~ ! ~ ! ~ /~(QvQ)~\ !)

SC: Aw, dxn’t start glubbing.

SC: Yxu knxw I can’t deal with yxu when yxu start glubbing.

DI: (! It is too late ~ I am Overcome ~ My respiration sacks are filled with only the greatest of unadulterated woe ~ The heaviest misfortune ~ The most distressing excretions that a feelsgland can excrete ~ My eyes are filled with tears ~ !)

DI: (! And my mouth is full of !)

DI: (! GLUB GLUB GLUB ~ /~(QnQ)~\ )

SC: GLUB GLUB GLUB

DI: (! GLUB GLUB GLUB !)

FS: 1. [CURIOUS] sappho. what is your location?

DI: \) I am in the labs ~ sweet Marduk ~ preparing for our Biological Dissection exam ~ /)

FS: 1. [CURIOUS] and liable. you are in the southern library? on the east quadrant?

SC: Uh, yes?

FS: 1. [???] marvelous. you know what? i have decided this chat is over.

FS: 2. [???] liable, please remain in the library. sappho, please remain in the labs. since your autovascular systems are filled with glubs, i will travel over there manually

FS: 4. [PEACEFUL] please stand-by while i come over.
