Former Roommates[22 Oix 4261]

I got back home quite late last night, thanks to my boyfriend, and flew in my window.

Me:"Dustweed? Tethezai? What on the Tree are you doing? Or, more specifically, what on my couch are you doing?"

They burbled and mumbled and were pretty imprecise with their answer.

Me:"Actually, you needn't answer that particular question, for I am a wise and highly-experienced in my transaffection. I think I know well enough what you are doing."

They flattened their ears and generally seemed quite embarrassed.

Me:"Well, don't let me interrupt you -- I wholly support transaffectionate behavior in all of its manifestations. Except Ysgwyd, I suppose."

They declined this opportunity, and disentangled themselves. I averted my head, by means of flying off to get them some towels. Which were hand-towels by the standards of Rassimel and Herethroy ,but served well enough. They cleaned up and retrieved their clothing from my bookcase and dabbled helplessly at the big puddle of soaked cloth on the couch.

Me:"Perhaps you miss your sneaky (but not quite sneaky enough) conjunctions performed while Dustweed and I were sharing a room, when you thought I was asleep?"

Dustweed:incoherent and hideously embarrassed apology thingies.

Tethezai:"Well, I am a libertine, and that did add a bit of spice to the situation now and then."

Dustweed:incoherent and hideously embarrassed and slightly pissed thingies.

Me:"I really don't mean to intrude ... I could even curl up in the fireplace and pretend to sleep, for old time's sake. Indeed, I might actually sleep, for I am quite tired from my own more private traff sort of evening."

Tethezai:vaguely displeased mutters. She prefers the term 'libertine', which has more aristocratic connotations. Unlike my boyfriend, she has no trouble being seen holding hands with her other-species lover in public ... nor, evidently, holding other parts of zir body in other parts of her own, in quasi-public.

Dustweed:incoherent and hideously embarrassed and moderately pissed thingies.

Me:"Still, when you're done, could you light some incense? Waking up to the intimate scents of Rassimel and Herethroy wouldn't entirely please me."

Dustweed:incoherent and hideously embarrassed apology thingies.

Tethezai:"Oh, we'll be glad to."

Me:"Thank you!"

Tethezai:"But of course!"

Me:"Why did you choose my couch to copulate upon? Did you get kicked out of Dustweed's room by ... um ... zir lack of roommates?"

Dustweed:incoherent and hideously embarrassed apology thingies.

Tethezai:"No, we were just waiting for you to come back."

Me:"Was I, then, supposed to join you? You are indeed different species from me, so as a good traffie I should in principle be interested. However, my boyfriend would not be entirely pleased."

Dustweed:incoherent and hideously embarrassed and slightly pissed thingies.

Tethezai:"Actually, we were simply waiting for you. We started out conversing, and one thing lead to another, and we did not expect you back nearly so soon."

Dustweed:incoherent and hideously embarrassed and moderately pissed thingies.

Me:"Waiting for me? Why?"

Dustweed:"We wanted to talk to you about what to do about Agrimony."

Me:"He wouldn't join you in a threesome?"

Dustweed:incoherent and hideously embarrassed and slightly pissed thingies.

Tethezai:"No. He threatened Dustweed with indistinct woe if zie continued to be a both-female."

I snarled a bit too much, and scorched a towel on the edge of the couch. Burnt Rassimel+Herethroy juice is considerably less pleasing than unburnt.

Yay! The return of Dustweed and Tethezai! :D

[lunarennui.livejournal.com]

and how, precisely, does agrimony expect dustweed to manage to NOT be a both-female?!?

[terrycloth.livejournal.com]

Tag along with Sythyry, and insult the nendrai?

[lunarennui.livejournal.com]

that works nicely towards being openly traff and really aggravating vae, but somehow i don't think it will do any good for dustweed's public reputation--after all, she's ALREADY openly traff, and aggravating a nendrai (let alone the 'tame' nendrai) is probably a really bad idea.

the only thing i can think of is for dustweed to graft 'cloak of another god', but i'm still growlersome, because she shouldn't HAVE to disguise her gender. grr, society. grr.

I believe what they want is for Dustweed to behave like a co-lover. She'll still be despised, but slightly less so.

This post would bug me considerably less if someone down the hallway wasn't actually burning something right now.

considerably pleasing than

Would there be a "less" in there?

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[papersky.livejournal.com]

Poor Dustweed.

I hope you can help.

A quick question: Who is your "player" or as such?

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

My translator claims not to understand the question. I therefore answer it in the Nice Language as "Tfrellh, spemy wwistro bfeh!"

[gavinfox.livejournal.com]

I think this person had difficulty believing you were real... I dunno why... I dont agree with him, as such.

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Ohh! That makes sense.

[gavinfox.livejournal.com]

*blinks* really? cause I thought it was pretty senseless. Or is this yet another time of me not getting your sarcasm?

What do you think of the idea of some of these monsters not believing you are real, or some of the other strange opinions we sometimes have?

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Nope, I really didn't understand. 'cause Sythyry's not a RP character.

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

OOC - Look at Sythyry's userinfo for RL details on Sythyry's author.

But, my dear, there is something quite out of place here! The bard_bloom reads like an Anne Rice novel- that is... poorly. Given how lively this one is, I am of the opinion that isn't a real journal either! But nevermind, I've offended you enough already. This one was simply curious- perhaps too curious for its own good... the whole point of this being, if you do have a real... owner someplace, they seem worth e-stalking! But nevermind.

Seems the biggest contradiction
in terms language could impart
something neither humane or natural, just
cancer of the heart!

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe the real journal in this mess is sythery?

[kris-schnee.livejournal.com]

You're lucky you didn't get to "distinctly pissed" with that attempt to make the worst of the situation!

[OOC: Still need to look up the info, but yes, the soil-from-seaweed trick is real. I believe the reference is the book "Seafarm" (Amazon link), which also mentions that seaweed has many, many industrial uses besides being edible and that there are low-tech methods for creating largely self-contained, profitable aquatic mini-ecosystems.]
