fucking fuck i keep forgetting this damn thing exists
if i had a knut for every time ive mistaken this thing as a thing i could do my homework on would make me a very rich man indeed
my worst nightmares have to go something along the lines of this thing getting handed in instead of my actual homework
oh shit sorry professor strider i totally just fucking goofed up
i gave you the journal instead of my haikus in mermish
or even
oh shit sorry student body at large that i accidentally inflicted my pointless divinations homework on all of you
i thought it was my goddamn dream journal
silly me

ps bro if you make me write mermish haikus
i will not like it and you wont like it when i make it 1000 times worse

Excuse you, don't criticize my language skills. Do you know how often you have to use Fairy? Not very. It'd be easy to get fluent again though. There just ain't a high demand for it. Unless you wanna be the Fairy Princess.

Nope. Have fun winging it.

[strideallknight]

i didnt think there was a high demand for mermish either

i do better that way so its probably for the best

dude do you have a free weekend at all

[plushaeusrumpified]

There's always a high demand for Mermish. People are wild about Mermaids, didn't you know that? Or at least people who ain't ever seen a Mermaid. Did you know they're actually kinda fugly?

Good luck, kiddo.

All my weekends are free, in that all my plans tend to be pretty damn spur of the moment. Any particular reason you're asking?

[strideallknight]

seeing as ive never seen what a real mermaid is like
no i did not know they were fugly but now ive been informed
whenever i meet a mermaid in my life ill forever remember that you told me so and brace myself

well im about to have a free weekend by making one happen
we havent really hung out a whole lot outside of class and whatever break we get in the halls or whatever

You might be meeting one sooner than you think. What's the point of learning Mermish if you don't ever talk to an actual Mermaid? Nah, I plan to gillyweed everybody up and send you all in the lake one of these days. Maybe put on a show for 'em.

It has been a while since we've done shit together, hasn't it? Did you have anything in mind or d'you wanna play it by ear and see what happens when the weekend gets here?

[strideallknight]

i hope nobody in our class has hydrophobia
and this show had better not in some way make them want to kill us for insulting them
or get us into a weird ass marriage

nothings coming to mind
so i guess play it by ear
kinda used to the spontaneous bullshit after 14 years of 24/7 spontaneity

[plushaeusrumpified]

If anyone has hydrophobia, they're gonna have to get over it pretty fast because the field trip into the lake is not optional. And please, give me more credit than that. I would never let a student unwittingly enter into an interspecies marriage like that. It would be downright irresponsible.
I make no promises on the killing thing, however.

Speaking of spontaneous, look up and be ready to jump out the way.

[Nothing is going to happen, but he can't resist trolling Dave with the idea that something might.]

[strideallknight]

somehow i still wouldnt put it passed you
welp
better brush up on stunning spells

[And learn that filter spell Murdoc had been talking about for revenge.

Dave does look, mostly because of habit. Luckily there's nothing more sinister than his barn owl landing next to him, demanding attention.]

oh the inhumanity an owl
dont tell me you trained aphrodite something she shouldnt have learned

[plushaeusrumpified]

I find your lack of faith disturbing. I'm currently force choking you now.

Maybe I did.

Or maybe I'm going to now that you've given me the beautiful little idea.
