TT: Interesting. TT: Would you ever be inclined to share? UU: ohhhh, no no no no no no no. UU: i woUld be far too embarrassed to do that. TT: That's cool. I'm not trying to pass judgment here. Just curious. TT: Do any of these stories about us by any chance involve... TT: Romance? UU: well... UU: maybe jUst... UU: Um. UU: a wee bit. :u TT: How wee? UU: a smidgen or two. TT: Which is it? One smidgen, or two smidgens? UU: OK A WHOLE BLOODY LOT OF SMIDGENS. XU UU: i'm sorry. unu TT: Ok, I am seriously curious to read some. TT: I won't show anyone, I promise. UU: bUUUt... UU: yoU woUldn't even Understand it! UU: my species has a completely different Understanding of romance than yoU do. UU: it woUld probably offend yoU deeply. it might even sicken yoU! TT: But that only makes me want to check it out more. TT: Really, there's no way it's going to sicken or offend me. Whatever it is, I've seen worse. TT: I'm not judging you at all here. I'm genuinely curious about your work. UU: no, i'm sorry love, i jUst CANNOT abide. UU: if i let anyone read it, i woUld cUrl Up and die of shame. U_U TT: K, no biggie. TT: Is there any kind of work you will share with me? UU: hmm. UU: well, when i find myself immersed in specUlation... UU: i do often enjoy drawing the things i imagine. TT: Oh, really? UU: yes. ^u^ TT: Any you'd be willing to spare a peek at? UU: well... UU: yes! UU: yoU've talked me into it. this sUddenly soUnds fUn, and i have jUst the thing to show yoU. TT: Awesome. UU: yoU were asking aboUt whether yoU woUld ascend to godhood. UU: and withoUt getting into whether yoU do or do not, i have specUlated on yoUr hypothetical appearance, since that oUtcome is jUst as cloaked to me as it is to yoU. UU: given what is docUmented for the typical accoUtrements and cUt of the prince garb, and palette for the heart aspect, i think this is likely spot on! UU: http://tinyurl.com/dirkisthisyoU TT: Holy shit. TT: Do I actually have to wear that? UU: perhaps. it all depends Upon how mUch of yoUr inner greatness yoU wish to realize. u_u TT: Ok, what is with the butterfly wings? UU: we sproUt them Upon ascension! aren't they beaUtifUl? TT: Uh. UU: i have seen many depictions of sUch heroes with wings, Unless they happen to be hiding them beneath their clothes. UU: i gUess i can't be absolUtely sUre, bUt i believe it's reasonably likely the Upgrade is Universal! TT: I should sure as god damn Christ hope the fuck not. TT: What about this knickerbocker bullshit? TT: Is that legit? UU: yUp! UU: one hUndred percent princely canon. TT: God dammit. TT: I guess those asskicking gloves are pretty cool. TT: I dunno. I can probably make it work. TT: How much of this shit is compulsory by game law or whatever? TT: Am I obligated to traipse around in fucking tights and puffy little asshole pants forever? UU: no, silly. UU: they are jUst clothes. yoU are free to swap parts if yoU like. UU: or, if yoU wish to be free of it altogether, change back into yoUr plain clothes, and bob's yoUr Uncle. like it never even happened! TT: Ok. TT: Well, don't get me wrong, I think the drawing is great. I'm only taken aback on some finer points of fashion. UU: ^u^!!! TT: Also, TT: Bob's my uncle? UU: oh... UU: no, love! it was a figUre of speech. TT: Yeah, I know that. UU: ah. UU: did i Use it incorrectly? TT: I don't think so. TT: I mean, I guess not? UU: say, what is an Uncle, by the by? TT: It's sort of like this weird, superfluous dad. UU: hmm. TT: Like a strange man in your life that barely has anything to do with you, but is just there for some reason. TT: They're practically always douche bags. UU: i sUppose i'll jUst have to take yoUr word for it. :u TT: Ok, but just one question. TT: Not to do with the future or anything, just about you. UU: yes? TT: Are you British? TT: Or pretending to be British, in a sort of ironic or stylized way? UU: doing what now? TT: I mean, I guess it doesn't make sense for an alien to be British. TT: Or for an alien to be American, for that matter. UU: hmm... UU: no, i fancy neither of those things make mUch sense at all. TT: Just the way you type is making it seem that way is all. UU: oh! UU: yes, that woUld be my qUirk. TT: Quirk? TT: So like, TT: Deliberate affectation? UU: no! a qUirk!!! UU: qUirk dirk. UU: heeheehee. ^u^ TT: You pretending to be British is a quirk. TT: What the fuck is a quirk? UU: we all need a qUirk! UU: it adds spice to oUr voices and helps Us stand oUt as individUals. TT: That's stupid. TT: I don't have a fucking quirk, and I don't want one. UU: oh, well of coUrse YOU woUldn't. UU: yoU're hUman. UU: hUmans are notorioUsly strange. :U
