031 - All The Young Dudes

[heretic_hamlet]

[The page begins as a near-illegible mess of sentences begun, scratched out, and restarted. After quite a few tries he just lets the words fall as they do.]Oi blimey! I do say, Stoneface, ol' bean- and me fellow Watchmen- I might have a wee bit o'trouble for me coming shifts. It's my sword, guv'nah; it's stuck fast in its bloomin' sheath, and

Struck out very quickly

[spandexisyouth]

I am sorry, Reed. I do not think I understood most of that. Your sword is becoming flowers? There is a governor? If that is the same as mayor th If your pants are hurting perhaps you should change into other pants.

[heretic_hamlet]

Words is words, youth, and they don't make a bloomin' lick of sense! My paper is being most disagreeable and makes me words sound flippin' stupid! I say, I don't even know what half this rubbish is supposed to mean!

[spandexisyouth]

Words are of course words. They could not be something else. I do not get how all of this fits together. There is too much going on. Perhaps my cousin will understand it more.

[heretic_hamlet]

Mayhap the thing what makes our words all nice-like is cattled.

A cousin? Wot's all this, then?

/SCREAMS WITH LAUGHTER, OH MY GOOOOOOOD ILU

[stonyfaced]

Good gods, man! You sound like a... I have no idea what you sound like. But for what it's worth, I can understand you well enough. [...better than usual, actually.]

I'd assign you to paperwork, but not if you write like this.

This is way harder for me than his usual speech

[heretic_hamlet]

Oi, guv! If the other balmy blighters wot we're fending off can't hold a blade, then we've no need for the jitters. No weapons at all is better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick.

[Pause]

The blooming blazes did I just write?

I can see why XD Also, Stoneface is pausing between words, because he's, like. Crying laughing.

[stonyfaced]

Huh. You seem to be going between an old soldier and street urchin, there. But even if some of us are affected, it doesn't mean everybody is. How's your hand to hand?

XD I'm just amused he makes more sense this way

[heretic_hamlet]

Ace enough to knock a lad off his block and onto his back, old bean.

[live_ringer]

...Had a bit too much juice to drink, have we?

[Wait, what the hell. He did not mean to write 'juice'.]

[heretic_hamlet]

Old bean, I've nary an inkling, but despite my blathering I'm not all bevvied up. I'm smacking my gob well enough for it.

[live_ringer]

...Right. Maybe it's that gob smacking that's the issue?

[heretic_hamlet]

Verily methinks it's not my bloomin' head that's cracked.

/so very, very, very entertained

[inthecenterfold]

[Attempts to write variations on 'wtf' and fails]

You sound like somethin' alright.

[heretic_hamlet]

Tell me what I sound like and I'd be chuffed to bits.

[inthecenterfold]

[A series of attempted letters and words go here]

All the words I can think of are banned right now.

... Weirdo.

Well there's one. At least there's no bubbles this time.

[heretic_hamlet]

And you're just sweet as a nut, are ya, sunshine?

[feathered_earth]

[that

what

under normal circumstances she'd spend a good few minutes laughing but THIS IS REED AND HOW DARE THE SPHERE.]

Now that's just not fair!

[heretic_hamlet]

Not to whinge over it. Blimey, I sound like a nutter.

How's your shop? Or has the grand old oak naused it up along with my sword?

[feathered_earth]

I'm sure it'll go back to how it should be soon.

[...]

If "naused it up" can mean "turned everything into a lollipop," then yes.

[heretic_hamlet]

I haven't the foggiest what it bloomin' means. My words all seem to have gone 'round the bend.

Lollies? Pip-pip, mayhap my inkling was spot-on.
