ITP: Haiku

[slashing_canon]

I guess it's a bit
like writing a song, but I'm
not really very--

...already I can't
do it right, I guess, so, um.
Sorry, everyone.

((Camp may be able to force you to speak in haiku, but that doesn't mean it can force you to speak in haiku well. ETA: And I'm out! Merci beaucoup tout le monde! <3))

What are you doing?
It doesn't seem like it's hard.
A bit weird, maybe.

[slashing_canon]

Well, maybe not for
everyone, but I'm not used to
something like this.

"yet", I meant to say,
but now I guess I need to

...stop while I'm ahead.

[dosciencetoit]

Well, it isn't normal
even here, I would expect.
...wonder how it works.

[slashing_canon]

Camp seems really good
for things you usually
wont do back home, right?

[tarnished_salt]

I don't think you need
to apologize for camp
affecting your speech.

There's a pattern, right?
I'm trying to figure it
out but I'm a li--

[tarnished_salt]

I don't think I've heard
anything like it before.
Poems that don't rhyme?

I don't really mean
to do it, but it seems camp
is forcing me to--

[slashing_canon]

Right! Right! Yes! Like that!
It's really annoying to
just cut off like that!

[throwawrench]

Aah! It sounds like it's
a fun story - if you can
tell a story like--

[slashing_canon]

W-waugh! Don't just yell!
Geez, you could really upset
someone like that, right?

[throwawrench]

Upset? If someone's
upset, that's good, because it's
an upsetting stor--

What? Aah, I mean, meant--
Upsetting stories are good!
Being upset is a--

[tengu_topper]

The best poetry
comes from your honest effort.
Cheer up a little!

[slashing_canon]

...My best effort, huh?
Well, I don't know if I'll be good,
but I guess I'll try.

Thanks, um...I don't think
I've met you before, right? So
I should ask your name.

[tengu_topper]

My name, eh? Well then!
I am Ichinomiya
Kantarou.

But! Of course that means
telling me your name as well.
What should I call you?

[slashing_canon]

Oh, right, that makes sense.
I'm "Capell the Soother", but
Just Capell is fine.

[deepinthered]

What are you doing?
I didn't know you wrote songs
That's really coo--... oool? . . .

[slashing_canon]

Of course I write songs!
Words, not as often, because
I'm a flute player.

I guess that's why I'm
really bad at it right now,
huh? You're okay though.

[deepinthered]

... Oh yeah, I've heard you.
Once. I'm sorry, I forgot.
But, I don't really...

... I don't really get...
it? Something kinda funny
is going on here.

[slashing_canon]

That's fine. Probably
everyone here does something
really special, right?

I can't expect you
to only pay attention
to me, all the time.
