Echo Bazaar: Twitter Crack

Jan 31, 2011 12:42

Here it is, finally! I did A LOT of copy/paste-ing to make this easier to read.  First, a little back story:

I had mentioned earlier that I was naming Asher's Araby Fighting Weasel Teddy after my cat, who is usually sitting in my lap, walking across my keyboard, or meowing for attention when I am playing EBZ.  On this particular day (September 16, 2010, if anyone's curious) I was playing the Commissioned Portrait storylet in the Palace while also holding Teddy against my chest with one arm.  I decided to mirror this with Asher and had NO IDEA it would start up all this crack!

WARNING FOR INNUENDOS EVERYWHERE XD

------------------

IN WHICH ASHER LEARNS ABOUT THE NATURE OF WEASELS:

# Asher Wilsford
  #ebz Hm, it's extremely difficult ta paint with a weasel lollin' around in your lap.

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @Asher_Wilsford *spews a mouthful of brandy EVERYWHERE*

#   Lady_Noremon
  @Asher_Wilsford You could dip the weasel in paint and let it lol around on the canvas?

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @Lady_Noremon *spews aNOTHER mouthful of brandy EVERYWHERE* You people are enough to make one give up drink altogether, I swear!

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @cl0ckw0rks Oh, my dear. Do not say that!

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @OScarletO *laughs* Well, there's currently more outside of me than inside, to be sure. Lolling weasels, indeed...

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @Lady_Noremon No, 'at wouldn't do. See, 'e's a real affectionate fellow so, for 'im, the whole point o' the lollin' is ta be lollin' on /me/

# Sarah Dumphy [Lady] Lady_Noremon
  @cl0ckw0rks [I don't know how to respond to this, either 'lolololol' or quoting 'Anchor Man'] He could sell it as art! *grin*

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @Lady_Noremon @Asher_Wilsford *both hands clapped over mouth, stifling peals of very loud laughter*

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @Lady_Noremon Hm, 'at's an idea...'Is would prob'ly end up goin' for more 'an mine, the little bugger.

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @cl0ckw0rks *looks a bit confused* I, uh, I'm sorry if this talk is botherin' ya, but surely ya know 'ow weasels are. They jus' like ta get in /everything./

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  *eyes dancing* @Asher_Wilsford Not at all, Mr. Wilsford, I assure you. There was simply some talk earlier about, well, tomb colonists and weasels and bandages... I must be very weak minded, for I could not get it out of my head when you spoke... *grins*

#   OScarletO
  @cl0ckw0rks My dear...I had no idea how excited weasels made you! *winks*

# Sarah Dumphy [Lady] Lady_Noremon
  @Asher_Wilsford Veilgarden would eat it up. The art, not the lolling beast!

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @OScarletO *merry peals of laughter* *wipes eyes* Oh dear GOD my friends are amazing...!

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @cl0ckw0rks *missing all the innuendos* Oh, good, then! I'd hate ta think I was speakin' o' something that might o' bothered ya.

# Sarah Dumphy [Lady] Lady_Noremon
  Now Sarah is loling-not lolling-about :P

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @Asher_Wilsford No No, Asher. Merri is quite an admirer of the fine weasel, especially how delightfully they grace one's lap.

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @OScarletO *stares at Scarlet, mouth open* *claps hand over mouth again as she laughs*

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @Lady_Noremon Well, I've certainly sold stranger stuff ta the people at Court.

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @Asher_Wilsford *still laughing* I doubt you could, Asher -- may I call you by your Christian name?

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @cl0ckw0rks Dear...why don't you pet Asher's weasel? He looks quite friendly.

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @OScarletO *eyes flick from Scarlet to Merri* Well, I certainly wouldn't call Teddy graceful. 'E can be a bit wild sometimes.

# Henrik Paulsen echo_henrik
  @OScarletO ... your pardon; I was distracted by Mr Wilsford's weasel. What were you asking?

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @echo_henrik [Good god, I really did spit out my drink in real life]

#   Lady_Noremon
  @OScarletO @cl0ckw0rks *holds their head in their hand and shakes it* ...

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @OScarletO Perhaps we should pet it together? *grins helplessly*

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @echo_henrik She was distracted by Mr. Wilsford's wild weasel, as well. *howls in laughter*

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @cl0ckw0rks @OScarletO *looks between the two, feeling like he's missing something* Um, if ya want to. He's a fighter, but he's real friendly outside o' the ring.

# Gabriel Morgan GabrielMorgan
  Everyone is simply fortunate I don't bring out my weasel as well.

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @cl0ckw0rks *shakes her head, impossibly keeping a straight face* that wild of a weasel needs your firm hand, Merri.

# Sarah Dumphy [Lady] Lady_Noremon
  @gabrielmorgan [if you did, it might start talk of who will be your babydaddy again]

# Henrik Paulsen echo_henrik
  @GabrielMorgan I don't believe I'm properly acquainted with your weasel.

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @GabrielMorgan Oh, I don't know, dearest... you have a perfectly lovely weasel. *best innocent look*

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  #ebz I guess my brother was right - women really are more likely ta talk to ya if you've got an animal with you.

# Gabriel Morgan GabrielMorgan
  @echo_henrik Perhaps you can help me choose a name. I've been a bit at a loss for a proper one.

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @GabrielMorgan now now- this is no place to begin comparing weasels.

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  [Oh god, my poor innocent Asher, I'm really setting you up for embarrassment here...pfft]

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @Asher_Wilsford Well, at least with a beast in your lap.

# Henrik Paulsen echo_henrik
  @GabrielMorgan It is difficult to begin an acquaintance without a name; is it a lady or a gentleman weasel?

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @OScarletO @Asher_Wilsford -- And friendly, out side of a ring.

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @OScarletO *genuine* Oh? Does it really make a difference if I'm holdin' 'im?

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @echo_henrik I imagine you've a discerning taste in weasels, Henrik.

# Sarah Dumphy [Lady] Lady_Noremon
  @Asher_Wilsford 'Teddy' was it?

# Henrik Paulsen echo_henrik
  @OScarletO They're very neat and clean creatures; I have some respect for the species.

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @Asher_Wilsford Well... I would say so, certainly...

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @Lady_Noremon Yes, that's right.

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @Asher_Wilsford *nods sagely* a lady likes to see how well the weasel in your lap behaves. Is he attentive? Or sluggish? Eager? Or lazy?

# Gabriel Morgan GabrielMorgan
  @echo_henrik A male weasel. Of some Araby origin, I was told.

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @echo_henrik have you had much opportunity to work with them?

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @OScarletO *whispers* oh dear, merciful god... *facepalms*

# Sarah Dumphy [Lady] Lady_Noremon
  @Asher_Wilsford Though it isn't very much like a gentleman if you just whip out your weasel to attract ladies, friend.

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @OScarletO Oh, I see...I guess a pet's behavior really does reflect on 'is owner.

# Henrik Paulsen echo_henrik
  @GabrielMorgan Then perhaps you might give him a noble name from his parent country.

# Henrik Paulsen echo_henrik
  @OScarletO Little opportunity, but consistently fortunate.

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @Lady_Noremon Oh no, I wouldn't take 'im out. Generally, Teddy jumps out on 'is own when he see somethin' if he's hidin' in my jacket

#   Asher_Wilsford
  @GabrielMorgan Oh, an Araby weasel, same as mine! They're very dependable, aren't they?

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @Asher_Wilsford it does- how you've disciplined him shows your skill and stamina in ensuring your weasel is of the best caliber. How he behaves with others shows how well you've socialized him- enough to be good with people but not so much that he gets overexcited, or worse- has no energy left when a lady comes to call.

# Sarah Dumphy [Lady] Lady_Noremon
  @Asher_Wilsford *slow exhale* Well he seems like a very fine weasel. Someday maybe I will be introduced? *adjusts ascot*

# Gabriel Morgan GabrielMorgan
  @echo_henrik I would like to.

# Gabriel Morgan GabrielMorgan
  @Asher_Wilsford Very dependable. I've never had any problems at all.

# Henrik Paulsen echo_henrik
  @GabrielMorgan Might he make a fine little Saladin?

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @echo_henrik Good to hear, most certainly. I hope he has earned you many a purse.

# Sarah Dumphy [Lady] Lady_Noremon
  @Asher_Wilsford I have a weasel of my own, though not really for such athleticism, I am afraid.

# Henrik Paulsen echo_henrik
  @OScarletO Two good purses, before immediate poverty encouraged me to sell him.

# Commodore Creazil CreazilRadioEBZ
  @OScarletO : Lady Weasel-tamer, extraordinaire!

# Gabriel Morgan GabrielMorgan
  @echo_henrik Oh, goodness. Having no weasel in this conversation is simply tragic.

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @OScarletO I see, I thought I was only trainin' 'im ta fight - didn't realize I should be socializin' him. You've given me much insight.

# Sarah Dumphy [Lady] Lady_Noremon
  *Cassius is getting very flustered by the amount of euphemisms flying about, and doesn't know what to say to the young man*

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @CreazilRadioEBZ Commodore- Did I not handle your weasel with finesse and skill?

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @Lady_Noremon [Poor Asher doesn't realize there are any euphemisms haha]

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @Asher_Wilsford you wouldn't want him to bite anyone, frighten them off, or be dull, would you? if you care for him properly, you will have a weasel that ladies might write poems of someday!

# Gabriel Morgan GabrielMorgan
  [Much as Asher's weasel is named after their - cat? wasn't it? I considered naming mine after one of the cats.]

# Commodore Creazil CreazilRadioEBZ
  @OScarletO Quite so, madam! The training you administered was so effective that his coat still bristles when you so much as enter the room.

# Gabriel Morgan GabrielMorgan
  @Asher_Wilsford [I cannot even imagine how he managed to retain his innocence after being an urchin. Oh, poor boy. How old is he, anyway?]

# Commodore Creazil CreazilRadioEBZ
  @OScarletO We think you've coaxed more obedience from him than we ever managed! Most impressive.

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @Asher_Wilsford Did you hear the Commodore? See what a finely trained weasel might do for you?

#   Lady_Noremon
  @Asher_Wilsford [and that is a fantastic, but also sad thing. The 'Neath being as it is! L.S. I think has a face to match their hair atm XD]

# Gabriel Morgan GabrielMorgan
  [One of the cats is named Handsome, which would add an additional degree of ridiculousness to this conversation.]

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @CreazilRadioEBZ Commodore- you are a dear for saying so. I applied all my knowledge to the task at hand.

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @GabrielMorgan I met a man named Hassan from Arabia when I was young. He was very kind to me, I remember. I've always liked the name Hassan.

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @GabrielMorgan [LOL handsome!]

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @GabrielMorgan [A protective older brother & the ability to tune out things he's not interested in haha. He's 22 y/o.]

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @OScarletO I did hear. I didn't think havin' a weasel would affect so many things.

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @Asher_Wilsford *smiles kindly all of a sudden* All things you possess have the possibility of being important.

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @Asher_Wilsford But none so much as your character, of which you are wealthier man than most.

# Henrik Paulsen echo_henrik
  Good evening to you all; your conversation on the care of weasels has been most instructive.

#   Asher_Wilsford
  @OScarletO *blushes* Oh, ah, thank you. I'm pleased ta hear that from such a wonderful lady.

# Scarlet OScarletO
  @Asher_Wilsford It is true. Do not doubt it, and you do not /need/ to do anything more to appeal to others.

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  #ebz I think it's about time for me and Teddy ta head home. G'night, Fallen London!

# Gabriel Morgan GabrielMorgan
  @Asher_Wilsford I agree with her.

#   Asher_Wilsford
  [I had no clue what I was starting when I mentioned a weasel haha I may have to save these tweets too! Goodnight!]

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @Asher_Wilsford Good night, Asher. Thank you for letting us admire Teddy. He's adorable.

# Asher Wilsford Asher_Wilsford
  @cl0ckw0rks You're welcome, o' course. I'm sure 'e enjoyed the attention.

# Merriwether Fawkes cl0ckw0rks
  @Asher_Wilsford I'm sure he did, too. *nods*

# Sarah Dumphy [Lady] Lady_Noremon
  @Asher_Wilsford Good luck on the trek Mr. Wilsford & Teddy, thank-you for the conversation this evening~

#   Lady_Noremon
  @Asher_Wilsford [if you do, you should post them somewhere XD t'would be fantastic!]

------------------

Oh man, this still makes me laugh so hard!  Also, I realized I mentioned Asher's age being 22 here.  That probably fits better than what I mentioned most recently (23-24).  Oh, and I would like to nominate Scarlet as the Weasel Expert, as she clearly shows her knowledge of the proper training of weasels here.

crack, echo bazaar
