[OOC] Pieces of 8: Bones of the North

[Clumsywordsmith]

And for the first time in my life I realised that I have been pronouncing "Mischievous" incorrectly all along. Derp.

[Igraine]

So sorry for your shitty week Hellis :(

Wordsmith? PLEASE I have got to know - phonetically, share with me how you've been pronouncing (or rather, mispronouncing) "mischievous" all you life long?

[Hellis]

Yeah. My cat of 18 years is on his last legs it seems. And some rather terrible news struck my family to boot. sometimes, Escapism like this is a real life saver.

[Clumsywordsmith]

Kinda like this:

Miss-chee-vee-ous

Well, that's my version of phonetically -- the kind of phonetic that doesn't require learning a whole second set of letters and symbols. I only realised it when I tried to spell the word 'Mischevious" and came to the shocking conclusion that the i comes before the e, which led to the dire thought that I had been pronouncing it incorrectly all along, and then a brief bit of research concluding my fears that I had, indeed, been a dunce. Worse than that, I'd been thoroughly colloquialized.

[Igraine]

That. Is. Adorable. Poor Wordsmith, all colloquialized and such - but at the very least, it's not something you took to you grave? *bright side, silver lining, finding one!*

And so sorry for your poor cat, Hellis. She's had a long life, I know, but it doesn't make saying good-bye any easier.

[DotCom]

I feel like miss-chee-vee-us is at least colloquially correct, because that's how I was taught to say it. Or at least how I learned to say it. And how I will continue to say it, because fuck rules

Hellis, I hope you feel better soon.

And I will have to postpone posting for another day. I'm feeling rather under the weather myself, so I'm gonna head to bed early tonight. Sorry for the wait.

[Igraine]

Oh no Dot, hope you're feeling some better soon hon. Take good care of yourself, and hopefully you'll be getting to feeling good again very, very soon.

[Hellis]

waiting for them posts. I will likely write something on thursday - friday, I am taking my cat to the vet tommorow to put him to sleep. So i doub i will be feeling very fab and siren like then.

[Lillian Thorne]

I'm so sorry to hear that Hellis, many years later I still recall a trip I took of such a nature. You have my sympathy.

Kamikaze Lycanthropes? What next?

(Seriously, though, that was pretty damn awesome. Expect post soon)

AmongHeroes said .From down the causeway, other figures were now materializing. Hundreds, thousands of werewolves, each drenched in black powder, and each ready to sacrifice their lives and very souls so that the walls of the castle would come crashing down around the heretics it protected.

Somewhere in my mind, I got the image of Jay-Jay jumping up and down going 'Pick me, pick me!'

Lovely posts Heroes, by the way.

[AmongHeroes]

Thanks Panda and TNY, I appreciate that.

[DotCom]

Agreed. Who doesn't like an exploding werewolf before bed?

Is...is that a euphemism?

Only for those excitement challenged... *grins*

Good lord I hope so!

That was a lovely post, Sir. I can't wait to see what people do with it, even the ones who were so conveniently outside.

[AmongHeroes]

Thanks, LT. It was fun to write. How is everyone today?

[Igraine]

Just lovely thank you. Woke up a bit later than usual, put on a pot of [my decidedly average] coffee, began a couple loads of laundry and now settling in to do some writing. All in all, lovely indeed!

[Lillian Thorne]

I am well enough considering that I am off to work and then off to my school to get a pitifully small amount of money back on my textbook afterwards. When I return from all that fun I will endeavor to get a post up for this. I have been chomping at the bit to do so.
