if theres one thing ive got to say about the gods its that theyre punctual
as soon as things calm down we always get the semi biweekly flood of noobs
noobs who should save us all the trouble and check out this supplemental guide so we can skip some of the dumber questions
it needs to be updated but unfortunately ive got to let my rapt audience down
im a busy guy and hopefully your deductive abilities arent that spectacularly shitty
still im nothing short of magnanimous and thats why im gonna offer to teach you sorry schmucks about earth pop culture if thats a thing youre missing
actually what im really offering is how to deliver burns so sick not even the healers from sigyn can save your enemies with the most potent of their suspect magics
were talking the art of how to throw down only the illest of rhymes and dish out only the harshest of flows
these lessons can be yours for a heavily discounted fee if you show up by hels welcome hall a couple days from now
though if youve got a problem with the avian inclined you can preemptively show yourself out the figurative door
this includes allergies and cats

[Man, she's trying so hard to decipher what on earth it is you're saying, Mr. Sprite, but it's hard.]

Are you talking about poetry?

[feathery]

if you want to be degrading about it

[proudofwhatiam]

There's nothing degrading about poetry.

[feathery]

yeah but im talking about rap

[proudofwhatiam]

What is that?

[feathery]

do i got to explain it again
can i just show you in person in a couple days and make everyones lives way easier and more interesting
or is that too much suspense

[proudofwhatiam]

An explanation would be nice, but I'm willing to attend your recitation either way.

[feathery]

ok well i can tell you youre close
as close as you can figure it anyway
and im not too sure how much youll appreciate my rhymes but its all good

[proudofwhatiam]

And why do you think that?

[feathery]

you got kind of haughty over my word choice before and its a kind of pretension ill suited to my variety of verbal pulse

[proudofwhatiam]

Are you trying to tell me you can't write poetry without swearing?

Shakespeare managed to do that, you know.

[feathery]

shakespeare was a byproduct of his era
you cant expect centuries to pass and keep us using the same kind of diction

[proudofwhatiam]

Of course not--Yeats is nothing like Shakespeare, and no one would expect him to be. There's a difference between modern diction and foul language, though.

[feathery]

so its alright if i tell someone hes a repugnant toad footed ignoramous with what looks like a lice infested rat on his ugly mug and it would be more flattering on a donkey as long as i dont swear

[proudofwhatiam]

It would certainly be a more impressive show of vocabulary.

[feathery]

i can show off my vocabulary and still swear
just say youll try to keep the disapproving looks to a minimum
they get distracting and youll ruin the lessons groove

[proudofwhatiam]

As few disapproving looks as possible. I'm not as schoolmarmish as you might think.

Speaking of school, do you plan on attending when the academy opens?

[feathery]

no its kind of got no purpose for me
especially when i havent been to school in over three years

[proudofwhatiam]

Three years? Then school's going to be vital for you, especially if you have any hope of university.

[feathery]

say what
no look trust me
university is not a thing thats ever gonna be an issue in my future

[proudofwhatiam]

Then you should learn for the sake of it. You'd certainly be welcome in my courses.

[feathery]

why what are you even going to teach that most kids dont find hideously boring
if its science you should probably be talking to jade instead even if she knows enough to talk genius level astrophysics

[proudofwhatiam]

My specialty is Egyptology, not science.

At the moment, it looks likely to be a class on Egyptian history, though if someone here is just desperate to learn Latin, it might change.

[feathery]

nah
history and dead languages arent my thing either
im more about sick beats and using my predilection for business to rake in mad bank
but let me know if you get some actual mummies and maybe ill reconsider

[proudofwhatiam]

That's unlikely to happen unless you're interested in making your own.
