Study Party! [7 Trandary 4262]

The first study party of the semester! Yay! Just as if I were an actual student, instead of a part-time ambassador and part-time pervert and would-be enchanter and all that.

So, attending this party were: Anoof and Narngi and Leiska (and Enziet, who is not studying); Ghirbis Vlaan; Jrakh; Pazi-Pazi; Whiskey; Vingi; Raom; Irigatur. I didn't know Raom before. He's a freshman, an Orren, and a cutie.

Whiskey:"Woo-hoo! This is practically the next meeting of the Vheshrame Academy Traff Association!"

Irigatur:"Where by 'practically' you mean 'not'."

Whiskey:"Look around! Everyone's traff but you, Irigatur!"

Narngi:"Well, and me. And Anoof and Leiska."

Anoof:"And Pazi-Pazi."

Irigatur:"And Vingi."

Jrakh:"And Raom."

Raom gave a shy little tee-hee. Raom is a cutie.

Cauldron of Wisdom

Lacking a recently-boiled chamberpot, we settled for the next best thing as the Cauldron of Wisdom, which is to say, a bowl of pretzels. As is traditional, each scholar here assembled must find focussed declarative sentences in their material of study, and write them on strips of wood without their subjects. And then we pull them out, read them with our own names in front, and whoever is the funniest, must drink.

(I miss Thery, who used to love Cauldron of Wisdom above all else. Except, it seems in retrospect that she actually loved Yarwain more.)

So, what was Sythyry tonight?

Gigglebait, that's what. Cute Orren boy gigglebait.

Sythyry is haunted by her father's personal and political legacy.
Ghirbis Vlaan:"Woo! Woooooo!"

Jrakh:"Ooh, who's Sythyry wooing now?"

Whiskey:"Some swimmy, I'll tell you that much!"

Raom:cute little giggle
Sythyry is a good candidate for a naturalistic garden, because zir nectar attracts birds, bees, and butterflies.
Jrakh:"And Orren"

Me:"I think that's backwards."

Raom:embarrassed cute little giggle
Sythyry is taking aggressive action to protect his girlfriend.
Jrakh:"Does Sythyry even have a girlfriend?"

Me:"Yes, actually, more or less. Outside the Academy though. And more than capable of taking her own aggressive action! She's got a sword, and knows how to use it."

Raom:embarrassed cute disappointed little pout
Sythyry is as indulgent and cathartic as a pint of brandy ice cream.
Jrakh:"Ooh, a pint of Sythyry."

Me:"Taken just before you put on a show of marital prowess for the empire of Dlesty, no doubt."

Jrakh:"Hey, I said I was sorry!"

Whiskey:"How about ... Whiskey cream?"

Me:"Ask me the day after my girlfriend dumps me."

Whiskey:"Be sure to let me know!"

Raom:possibly giggled...?
Sythyry is a semivowel.
Jrakh:"I have no idea how to turn that into an innuendo."

Me:"That is because you are on the verge of succumbing to my semivocalic wiles!"

Raom:cute embarrassed little titter.

I wasn't the drunkest person in the room by that point -- Vingi got the best laughs, reading everything in a rather confused Yistreian yokel accent -- but, well, exactly what were my fidelity arrangements with Jinthinia?

We never really got around to discussing that, did we?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Time to have that conversation with Jinthinia, I think. You may be pleasantly surprised. (Have some idea of what arrangements you want, in case she says something like "I hadn't thought about it, what do you have in mind?")

But, that would not be fully in keeping with the tradition of doom!

Well, keep it in mind in case you decide you want to try something other than doom. :)

I thought that Jinthinia made it clear that she's not exclusive?

What's sauce for the weasel is sauce for the draglet...

Well, during the course of those arguments, I made various assertions of implied monogamy. Eating those assertions might not be fun ... though they were never confirmed. Or denied.

Point.

An incoherent argument is not the best basis for future relationship agreements or expectations, in any case.

Just a friendly reminder that the adage "It is easier to gain forgiveness then permission" does not apply to relationships. Ever.

Hmm, Raom seems to giggle a lot, but she doesn't say a lot, does she?

He's a he! Actually he was talking plenty, I just didn't write any of it down.

At this point, a suitable enchantment project would be an automatic doom detector. It would be worn around the neck and take the form of a large and unwieldy bird.

What would Sythyry do with a large, unwieldy bird constantly around its neck?

"Zir." And there'd be no problem at all. See, Sythyry would just get Vae to alter the bird so that it takes up no space; it'd only require one quick Locador spell aimed at Sythyry's neck.

*shakes in terror*

I don't think that any advice that I might offer would be appropriate for your own inter-species relationship problems. Orren are confusing. You should date Sleeth.

Jinthinia is a friend. Be good to her, mm?

Right, let me crack one of the texts from my own field of study and see what I can find that might be applicable.

"Sythyry's experiences underscore the potential rewards of a more entrepreneurial approach to integrated rail and community development."

Has potential, certainly..

"Sythyry's ten-year foray into the uncharted waters of mounting and sustaining it's services reveals a number of clear advantages over alternative systems."

Apparently, my textbooks are in a racy mood today. Though possibly confused on the question of time.

well, exactly what were my fidelity arrangements with Jinthinia?

We never really got around to discussing that, did we?

Maybe you should. Unless there's some major problem with Jinthinia and you want her to dump you.
