That.

That was absurd.

I feel so unclean having spent a second as that pathetic excuse for a Dwarf. Enslaving himself, virtually, out of apparent 'kindness' to a human woman. Pah. Pah. He was a fawning, worthless excuse for a Dwarf ( Read more... )

Have you humans stopped killing each other yet ( Read more... )

[video comes on. Ardent's room is relatively well lit. For Ardent's room. Meaning about three, four candles dotted around the place. He's tossing two pieces of plastic between his hands as he talks,]

I am really quite sick of ports which make me human. Apologies to anyone I was rude to, I think that might have come with the territory of losing ( Read more... )

So that's what passes for education on the Roundworld?

[paaaaaaaaaaause]

That explains a lot.

[Private to Narvin]

Feeling any better?

We should meet, I'm sure there's things you want to check up on. [Meaning, there's things he wants to check up on.]

And... thank you, Narvin. [He means for the bread.]

[Ardent sounds positively excited.] Well, this is a refreshing change.

[Ardent turns on the video, and he is a perfect, sort-of-threatening chav. He's sat in a McDonalds, wearing Ray's Cubs hoodie, hood up, stuffing a Big Mac into his face. Dwarfs like fast food, it turns out. He chews for a moment, then looks up at the camera ( Read more... )
