I can't take this anymore. I can't.

First it's raining, then it's blazing sunshine, then it's raining again. It's like the weather's gone on a bloody bender.

At least I haven't been bitten to hell. The insects just love William and Phineas at the moment. It's keeping them distracted while I do some last-minute packing.

Heh heh.

Where is it that you live?

[mo_cara]

PeNcLaWdD!

[And Wales is even more notorious than England for its rainy summers, especially by the sea.]

[rule_britannia]

That explains a lot.

[He knows this very well indeed]

[mo_cara]

oH, mAn, DoEs It? HoW cOmE?

[rule_britannia]

The stereotype of the Welsh really plays out in you.

Not that I ever particularly minded the Welsh.

[mo_cara]

HuH?

[The only Welsh stereotypes that comes to mind for Gamzee is that all Welsh are labour-voting Methodists, or that they all can sing. Oh, the sheep shagging thing. Gamzee hopes Alfred doesn't think he has sex with sheep.]

[There's a small blot of ink on the page, the only indication that Arthur just burst out laughing]

Bloody hell, Gamz. Trust your mind to go to the sheep first. That isn't what I mean.

The Welsh have a good reputation for being decent people.

[mo_cara]

[ .... nope. Never heard that stereotype, at least not from the English. Huh.]

That certainly isn't a secret.

Hah!

You're a bloody hoot, do you know that?

[mo_cara]

nAh, BrO, i'M a HoNk.

[rule_britannia]

Ah, of course.

How foolish of me.

I do apologise.

[What appears next looks like something that's attempting to be a word, but it's far too wobbly to be made out - Arthur's shaking too much with suppressed laughter to write properly. After a moment, he strikes a line through it and starts writing legibly again]

Sorry. Bloody hell. I can't laugh too loud or Will and Phin will hear.

[mo_cara]

AiN't YoU aLlOwEd To GeT yOuR mIrTh On, BrO?

Not in the middle of the night, I'm not.

You know what they're like with me.

Not worth it for a cuff around the ears, brother.

Oh, blimey, I really have been talking to you for too long.

[mo_cara]

oH, yOu GoT tO bE gEtTiNg YoUr LeAvE oN?

[rule_britannia]

No.

I'm picking up your speech habits.

[mo_cara]

[Relief! He doesn't want to stop chatting with Arhtur. ... though, that's kind of sweet and makes him feel a little squirmy for some reason.]

tHeY aIn'T sUcH bAd HaBiTs To Be HaViNg!
;o)

[rule_britannia]

[Arthur can be sweet..! When he's not being a jerk, and he doesn't tend to be a jerk to people he likes. Unless they deserve it. Sometimes when they don't.

And unless it's Alfred]

You're a bad habit all on your own, Gamz.

[mo_cara]

[rule_britannia]

That's true enough.

You manage to be a bad habit without actually being bad.
