ITP: Traditional Weekday Observances

[say_thee_nay]

[Hey, how long has it been since some superpowered yahoo with an axe hammer to grind decided to take on the Barrier?

TOO LONG.

Those aware of such things may have recently noticed a sudden sharp spike in the ambient Phenomenal Cosmic Powers bandwidth, neatly coinciding with a big damn ka-boom sound that should likely have alerted everybody else

What the... ?

[never stays in the car misses the chance to check out the scene of the crime, so off to the barrier we go!]

[say_thee_nay]

[I empathize with your robot boyfriend.]

These feats e'er do seem to draw a crowd...

[thecarisboring]

[if I did listen, he'd have been dismantled a long time ago]

...

[thecarisboring]

...Gee, I wonder why.

[say_thee_nay]

...

I assure thee, milady, I am no exhibitionist.

[thecarisboring]

So that huge explosion a few minutes ago, that was just coincidence.

You normally a frog?

[say_thee_nay]

Say rather a byproduct of tremendous--if ultimately futile--effort.

I say thee nay, milady. Though this amphibious form may cloak my true self, more commonly am I Thor Odinson, the Prince of Asgard.

[thecarisboring]

[looks at you]

[looks at dissipating smoke from the explosion]

[looks at you again]

...okay. Seriously.

[say_thee_nay]

... I beg thy pardon?

[thecarisboring]

You're kidding, right?

[say_thee_nay]

I do not jest with thee, o skeptical maiden.

[thecarisboring]

Assuming I believe you because I have no idea why you'd make that one up - why a frog?

No offense, but if the cure's a kiss you're talking to the wrong girl.

[say_thee_nay]

Because of my station--from thy muttered commentary, I should think thou'rt familiar with the "fairy tale" in question.

... I would not ask it of thee, milady. 'Twould prove unchivalrous.

[thecarisboring]

Yeah, camp has a thing for the classics. How'd this happen?

And it's Ro. Just Ro. "Milady" is too weird.

[say_thee_nay]

I tested my might 'gainst that of the Barrier, and for the nonce I proved wanting.

... "Ro." Thy name seems oddly truncated, if I might say so.

[thecarisboring]

It's what my friends call me.
