Hiding the Sun [23 Hispis 4385; Eigrach, Srineia]

Vae had just written a whiny letter to all of Eigrach, on a huge fireball which she had tethered over the city.

Most of us just sort of stared at it. Some with the bogglement of, "Aieee! Vae is so very very scary!", but most with the bogglement of, "Aieee! Vae is so very very emo!" I was in the "so very very scary" camp myself. I officially allow her -- or anybody -- to be emo for at least nine hours after getting a hand cut off.

Phaniet reminded me, "Hey, Sythyry. You're on the Eigrach payroll for dealing with nendrai messes now. Gonna go fix it?"

"Oy, yes. I suppose I ought to," I said. "Kantele, could you see if Vae can understand that she should take it down?" Kantele tried, but Vae couldn't.

So I flew up there and crammed the fireball into a pocket universe. This is the right approach because (1) that way nobody will accidentally fly into it and get fried, as might happen if I made it invisible or something, and (2) actually breaking the spell is hopeless 'til I get that cursed artifact made.

After which, I flew back down and curled up in Arfaen's lap and demanded petting like a Sleeth all through dinner, despite getting a few scowls from Mellilot. Which is going to be a problem later for at least one of the three of us, and probably more.

And I'm sorry if this is coming out whinier than usual. I officially allow myself -- or anyone -- to be emo for at least nine hours after getting pinned to the ground with a sword through the heart.

I think I would allow a person to be emo for at least 81 hours after being pinned to anything with a sword through zir heart.

You might want to specify literal sword through the heart, otherwise you may get caught out with a bad case of self sustaining emo syndrome.

It won't help: the kind who would demand that slack for metaphorical ones aren't waiting for my permission to be emo. (Nor do they need it: they can spend the next 9 years being emo, somewhere out on the Island: but I don't have to listen.)

Hum. Your translator is translating this in an odd way. Um. I think most people would translate how you are acting as "whiny" or "morose" or maybe "depressed". He is translating it like you were acting like, well, "a particular subgroup of people who are supposed to be whiny in general, especially because all the music they listen to is supposed to be whiny."

She is being whiny in exactly that way -- 'everyone hates me because I'm so horrible, pay attention to me!'

Well I would say Vae is fitting the description more than Sythyry!

...Aside from the music, that is!

I was being interested in the idea that the World Tree has a musical subculture that is translatably equivalent to Earthly emo. I'm trying to picture what it would look like.
