I'm too tired to say what I usually say with greeting posts, and I think that's going to be the new norm, so hello there. I'm Twistey. Newish-bie, approaching my first Boardaversary. Lots of fandoms. Hi. Welcome back.

-Twistey

Put on a good show though.

... against superior/subordinate relationships? (is how I was imagining this)

- Tomash

I'm about 180 cm tall, physically male, Asian, not particularly muscular. My hair is medium length (reaches eyes if not styled), and I wear contacts. Usually wears jeans and an unzipped black or grey hoodie. Shirts are usually in dark colours.

I'm fine with being shipped with anyone.

No, I'm not going back to the chatroom. But if anyone wants to add me as a friend to chat with over PMs, I'm Iximaz#4689.

Yeah, that makes sense. Also, it's funny. So that's always a plus.

ONE CARD. ONE CARD AND I WOULD HAVE BEATEN GRANZ.

Do you have a very large cat, per chance? :P

Also, *waves from her very large pile of MtG cards*

Go ahead and ship me with any people, software, or other things that seem like they might be funny to ship me with.

For a brief description, I'm male, not quite thin, and I've got short brown hair and thick glasses. For all we know, I'm secretly an AI (which I remember being done last year). I also own a dog collar but no dog ... draw your own vaguely lewd inferences.

Now, the fun part, ship suggestions:
- Calliope/Granz. If you've been in a voice chat with the two of them, you know what's up.
- Granz/Thoth. Since all the other permutations of Cal, Granz, and Thoth have been suggested, and this one's somewhat more plausible.
- ... Cal/Granz/Thoth, because decisions are hard.
- Delta/Ix, because of all the RP they were doing in the Discord before Ix left the chat.
- doctorlit/Skarmory. One's a zookeeper, the other's an intelligent bird, you do the math.
- If he shows up, Katlyn/Avarice - oldest Boarder/newest Boarder
- hS/Katlyn/Novastorme/... - Britship. Featuring copious amount of tea and creative uses for scones.
- Guardsman Tom/Akrinor/Hardic/... - Euroship.
- (Commander) Horvat/Guardsman Tom - Sure, that's BLAMworthy in the Guard, but when did that stop anyone?
- Phobos/Thoth/[people I can't remember] - Surely someone can turn a game of MtG into shipping?
and finally
- Thoth/parentheses - He's a LISPer, this should be obvious.

- Tomash

For appearance, I'm a 190 cm tall, blond, blue-eyed white man, not exactly muscled. I typically wear jeans and T-shirts, though with my screenname I'm wouldn't be surprised if I showed up in Guard Flak armour.
Let's see if anybody cares about those details though.

No limits on who or what I'm willing to be shipped with.

I need a picture of a ham sandwich in a corset.

It's very useful to know that the things I was aiming at you landed as intended, so yay! ^_^

Select responses:

- I think the only Pyro Derik knows is Agent Huinesoron, and he's a twitchy elf who's afraid of dragons (and fire-demons in general). Perhaps not the best example. *g*

- The bullshit is basically everything about it. She is jealous of all that time not spent on her, for one thing. She also thinks it's stupid and pointless—and we probably have a shouting match with her to thank for driving Derik to keep at it even while he's still skeptical himself, because he's not about to let her win like that.

*approximately the second or third session* "Heading out to meet Thoth, see you later."

"What, again? What the hell are you two doing, having an affair?"

"If you really must know... [somewhat embarrassed explanation]."

"That is the stupidest thing I ever heard."

*secretly agrees; enters Defense Mode* "It isn't stupid. It's Serious Business."

"Serious bullshit, you mean."

*cue shouting*

... At the point of this ficlet, though, everyone has more or less gotten used to the idea, and Derik's response to Gall's token attempt to bait him about it is that of someone who is in fact too secure in his orientation to be baited on that subject. {= )

Having now looked up both on Wikipedia, I guess I was imagining an aileron roll. I think it would be funny if the kids were expecting that and Gall took Fellrazer through the actual maneuver, though. Extra stomach-turning, hilarious, and educational! There is no downside to this! {= D

I promise she's responsible about not letting the kids get hurt, though. Perhaps surprisingly, she really likes kids. It's her Token Redeeming Quality. {= )

~Neshomeh

Male, white, short and muscular (but more on the lean side), fluffy brownish hair with a (natural) silver sheen, blue-gray-green eyes. A little stubbly, but not too much. Looks about 16 years old. Usually wears graphic tees or a sweatshirt and jeans.

I'd rather not be shipped with women, thanks. This is one very gay guy. Other than that, feel free to go wild!

I don't really have any suggestions. I mean, I do get stressed a lot, so I guess Hurt/Comfort is quite a possible one, but just do whatever you want to do.

Have fun!

Dunno why, but I generally enjoy the kind of "rambling-goes-nowhere" type of story. And this was a good example of that.

Honestly, I don't have any real criticism for this (as usual: I need to be better at finding things), so here's some stray observations:

-I have a soft spot for characters that reject reality and substitute their own. As such, Gall's dragon logic amuses me.

-I am actually a worse singer than Gall. In any case, that is a magnificently fun description, which is always a thing you tend to be good at. Writing fun descriptions, I mean.

-Honestly, I'd trust a pyromaniac the most with fire safety. A pyro who doesn't do safety well is a dead pyro.

-I knew that Gal would get a line of mockery over Thoth and Derik at some point. It's as amusing as I expected it to be.

-What bullshit? (No really, what? I'm not entirely sure what Gall's referencing here, just that it as something to do with Derik and Thoth's arrangement. I'm kinda curious).

-"Would it help if I gave you all the sordid details of what we get up to, locked away together in that exceedingly tiny response center for hours on end?" This line is even funnier for me, because I know PRECISELY what they get up to. And- gah, that sounded innuendo-ey, didn't it? I meant the exact opposite!

..."Use adverbs like they cost you a toenail?" Or was it adjectives? I don't have my copy of A Slip of the Keyboard on hand...

Heh. Sorry Gall wasn't cooperating, but I do like the outcome nonetheless. Conversation streams, even when nothing really "happens," are a nice relaxing read. And it's fun to just let the characters walk our fingers across the keys once in a while, eh?

—doctorlit wonders if Fellrazer does real barrel rolls in response to the kids' quote, or the aileron rolls the Star Fox games call "barrel rolls"
