Interesting. Would you ever be inclined to share? ohhhh, no no no no no no no. i woUld be far too embarrassed to do that. That's cool. I'm not trying to pass judgment here. Just curious. Do any of these stories about us by any chance involve... Romance? well... maybe jUst... Um. a wee bit. :u How wee? a smidgen or two. Which is it? One smidgen, or two smidgens? OK A WHOLE BLOODY LOT OF SMIDGENS. XU i'm sorry. unu Ok, I am seriously curious to read some. I won't show anyone, I promise. bUUUt... yoU woUldn't even Understand it! my species has a completely different Understanding of romance than yoU do. it woUld probably offend yoU deeply. it might even sicken yoU! But that only makes me want to check it out more. Really, there's no way it's going to sicken or offend me. Whatever it is, I've seen worse. I'm not judging you at all here. I'm genuinely curious about your work. no, i'm sorry love, i jUst CANNOT abide. if i let anyone read it, i woUld cUrl Up and die of shame. U_U K, no biggie. Is there any kind of work you will share with me? hmm. well, when i find myself immersed in specUlation... i do often enjoy drawing the things i imagine. Oh, really? yes. ^u^ Any you'd be willing to spare a peek at? well... yes! yoU've talked me into it. this sUddenly soUnds fUn, and i have jUst the thing to show yoU. Awesome. yoU were asking aboUt whether yoU woUld ascend to godhood. and withoUt getting into whether yoU do or do not, i have specUlated on yoUr hypothetical appearance, since that oUtcome is jUst as cloaked to me as it is to yoU. given what is docUmented for the typical accoUtrements and cUt of the prince garb, and palette for the heart aspect, i think this is likely spot on! http://tinyurl.com/dirkisthisyoU Holy shit. Do I actually have to wear that? perhaps. it all depends Upon how mUch of yoUr inner greatness yoU wish to realize. u_u Ok, what is with the butterfly wings? we sproUt them Upon ascension! aren't they beaUtifUl? Uh. i have seen many depictions of sUch heroes with wings, Unless they happen to be hiding them beneath their clothes. i gUess i can't be absolUtely sUre, bUt i believe it's reasonably likely the Upgrade is Universal! I should sure as god damn Christ hope the fuck not. What about this knickerbocker bullshit? Is that legit? yUp! one hUndred percent princely canon. God dammit. I guess those asskicking gloves are pretty cool. I dunno. I can probably make it work. How much of this shit is compulsory by game law or whatever? Am I obligated to traipse around in fucking tights and puffy little asshole pants forever? no, silly. they are jUst clothes. yoU are free to swap parts if yoU like. or, if yoU wish to be free of it altogether, change back into yoUr plain clothes, and bob's yoUr Uncle. like it never even happened! Ok. Well, don't get me wrong, I think the drawing is great. I'm only taken aback on some finer points of fashion. ^u^!!! Also, Bob's my uncle? oh... no, love! it was a figUre of speech. Yeah, I know that. ah. did i Use it incorrectly? I don't think so. I mean, I guess not? say, what is an Uncle, by the by? It's sort of like this weird, superfluous dad. hmm. Like a strange man in your life that barely has anything to do with you, but is just there for some reason. They're practically always douche bags. i sUppose i'll jUst have to take yoUr word for it. :u Ok, but just one question. Not to do with the future or anything, just about you. yes? Are you British? Or pretending to be British, in a sort of ironic or stylized way? doing what now? I mean, I guess it doesn't make sense for an alien to be British. Or for an alien to be American, for that matter. hmm... no, i fancy neither of those things make mUch sense at all. Just the way you type is making it seem that way is all. oh! yes, that woUld be my qUirk. Quirk? So like, Deliberate affectation? no! a qUirk!!! qUirk dirk. heeheehee. ^u^ You pretending to be British is a quirk. What the fuck is a quirk? we all need a qUirk! it adds spice to oUr voices and helps Us stand oUt as individUals. That's stupid. I don't have a fucking quirk, and I don't want one. oh, well of coUrse YOU woUldn't. yoU're hUman. hUmans are notorioUsly strange. :U
