A Thread in Which Banter Most Random is Expulsed Into Existence, By Ravens_cry #142

I too hope everything is working out with your friend. Has she been located yet?

[Eadin]

No.not yet :(
The police said to wait 24hours ..

[Lillith]

Oh my, I hope everything will turn out okay.

[Scorpina]

Scorpina: I'm sorry your sound's out. Ella Fitzgerald always makes me happier.

Yeah, I like her too. Stupid sound card.

[Pyrian]

I was more thinking of this kind of mace.

I love her expression.

Eadin: I'm sorry. Not a whole lot you can do aside from being supportive to her family.

[Coidzor]

Eadin: I'm sorry. Not a whole lot you can do aside from being supportive to her family.

And not go insane with worry. It helps, avoiding that. :/

You have my sympathy, Scorp-orps.

[Pheehelm]

Obviously, we need to make a magic mace that sprays mace in the faces of those it hits.

Or vice versa.

Bruno the Bandit needs more love.

[Teddy]

I love her expression.

She looks like she's spray-painting something someone.

@Eadin: Oh no! I hope your friend will return soon, and that everything will be sorted out.

And that we'll one day have peace on Earth...

[Starfols]

I was more thinking of this kind of mace.

It was an astral deva joke. Angel? Stunning? bah!

@ Eadin: I'm sure you'll be one of the first ones to know when they find her, so don't worry. 24 isn't that much time, especially when it comes to getting in trouble.

[Rawhide]

It was an astral deva joke. Angel? Stunning? bah!

I was well aware, even before my original post. I had however hoped that the first person to pick up on it would be thinking the other kind of mace.

[Superglucose]

Well everyone but yours truly woke up with horrid headaches and slothiness. I lept from my bed with a smile and greeted everyone with a cheery "Good morning!" Watching the looks of "... what on earth? How does he do that?" was great.

Oh, now I feel like an idiot. Guess that's what I get for explaining that joke on a dnd forum.

You used the power of theatre to not actually get drunk, only mildly tipsy?

Acting, businesses!

ION: life is confusing.

[Superglucose]

No, I used the power of indoor plumbing to repeatedly fill a cup with water and the power of gravity to repeatedly dump that cup into my mouth. Also, my liver ftw!

Fun times. Are you perchance half dwarf? Because, if you're a mul, got some attributes you could advertise to the ladies.

In Other News... I want to try stirfry on toast. Does this make me a bad person?

[Superglucose]

In order, I'm short enough to be
I need all the help I can get with the ladies
And finally, not even remotely! I remember a friend made a stir-fry sammich.

[Quincunx]

If it's sliced white bread, then yes, shame on you. If you've got a baguette to hollow out, go for it. I remember some scrumptious-smelling Vienamese sandwiches on baguettes, which looked very much like stir-fry on toast, but which I never got around to trying. Darn the allure of pho and darn that the budget doesn't permit fancy cooking like pho until the end of the month. . .

. . .but don't darn it loudly, because the excess budget went to FABRIC! Glorious fabric, fine as parchment! . . .and not wholly suited to a cloak. At least, not the cuts I've already earmarked for other uses. Luckily the order also came with five dozen (I am not exaggerating) sample swatches. At least one of THOSE has to be cloak-worthy.

[Eadin]

Let me know if it tastes good

[Coidzor]

Eadin: Will do.

When you say hollow out, do you mean cut open or do you mean to remove all of the bread and leave only the crusty shell?

Wait... You like pho? WHY!?

Should that be with noodles or the stir-fry sans noodles in the sammich?

[Quincunx]

The bread just looked to be cut open but it had more goodies stuffed inside than physics allowed. Maybe it's soft inside and collapsed under the steam and goodness?

. . .and because pho's delicious, that's why! Besides, once the tripe gets tangled in the noodles there's not much difference. I pass on the tendon though. Cartilaginous chunks aren't my thing.

[Rawhide]

Then there's not much more you can do at the moment aside from staying calm, keeping a cool head, and being there should she try to contact you as well as provide support to her family and friends.

Keep your phone charged.

yeah, but I'm really worried..with the anxiety attacks and her pregnancy...

[Coidzor]

Yeah, baguette bread will do that if it's sufficiently hot enough you bother to smoosh the bread while doing the prep work.

Weird. The pho I've had has always been bland soup with noodles.

Eadin: Still, no reason for you to be having anxiety attacks as well.

Can pregnant women be properly medicated for those sorts of things anyway?

[Eadin]

uh no,she can't take her meds now...

[Coidzor]

uh no,she can't take her meds now...

Yet more reason to be scared of pregnant women. She doesn't have a tendency to grab people and drag them underwater to eat them, does she?

...Am I thinking pregnant women or crocodiles?

[Rawhide]

yeah, but I'm really worried..with the anxiety attacks and her pregnancy...

Yes, that is a very natural and expected reaction, which is why I've mentioned remaining as calm as you can. It won't be easy to be calm in a situation like this, but that is the best thing you can do.

Something important you need to do is to keep your mind occupied on something productive and not actively worrying. This is not to say that you should stop worrying, but you need to make sure that worry doesn't take over.

Something productive could be to do housework/tidy an area, prepare study materials or possibly to search for good recent photos of your friend.

Above all, rest and get to sleep in good time. It's almost midnight there and you will be no use to anyone if you don't get enough sleep.

[Teddy]

Give me a tent, a sleeping bag, light nights, constant wind and screaching/singing birds, and you may rest asured knowing that I won't. Oh, and it seems as both boat and plane traffic around and above this island has started again, so now I'll have to endure that too.

Hopefully, I'll be able to catch another hour of sleep before It's wake-up time.

[Coidzor]

...Wait. Why are you sleeping in a tent on an island while there's stuff going on if you have internet access?

[Teddy]

...Wait. Why are you sleeping in a tent on an island while there's stuff going on if you have internet access?

Mobile phone with wireless internet connection. The keyboard is a bit tricky, but I'm still able to text moderately long posts on it without too much hassle.

[absolmorph]

I just explained my anger at a girl who I considered a friend but I now consider much... less... using the names of characters from Twilight.
The guy who a bunch of people are attracted to got to be Edward. Except he's way, way better.
