Steven Squawking shared an album. 4/8 near Cabin 11

so, what's the weirdest thing YOU'VE received from these jerks? 'cause I'm pretty sure I win but hey, at least it's not alive like some of the other things I've heard about

Comments

[parodeity]

i can show you if you want
mostly i store things via numerical value based on what i call them when i store them
and then
can get them out by talking them out or
yeah
its extremely stupid tbh

[chiseler]

...and I thought using frozen hot dogs for pi was stupid
what's with you and numbers?
I want to see it btw, I'm curious how the whole thing works

[parodeity]

idk math is apparently my thing these days
and sure ill show you
i mean like do you want me to come to the bar or smth
its a weekend im doing fuckall

[chiseler]

math is your thing and mine is "collecting weird stuff", so it seems
but stop by whenever. you know me, I'm usually at the bar especially on a weekend and minor hours are longer on the weekends anyway

[parodeity]

all right ill be there in like ten or something
to show you my stupid inventory system

[ WHAT WILL LUKE BE DOING WHEN HE ARRIVES. ]

[chiseler]

[Thank you, Dave. For that reason Luke doesn't bother texting back and instead ten minutes later when he shows up Luke's going to be working on making him a drink because that's what you do for people you're friends with. Luke, make more adult friends holy shit. But anyway when Dave enters the bar Luke looks up with a nod.]

Sup. This something you can show me here or out back again?

[parodeity]

Depends on if you want me to show you my sword in addition to my inventory system?

[ AND/OR IF LUKE CARES IF DAVE PULLS OUT A SWORD... ]

[chiseler]

[There's a pause for some consideration here.]

When'd you get the sword, Strider. [Why does everybody have a good weapon. When's it his turn for a cool weapon???] You wouldn't be the first to pull a blade out in this bar but how big of a sword are we talking?

[parodeity]

About a week ago. And like...I dunno, less than arm length by a bit? Not totally ginormous video game style, but still a damn sword.

[ also: ]

Why the fuck are people pullin' out swords in the bar.

[chiseler]

Not bad. I'm keeping a list of what weapons are showing up in the mail and stuff, see if there's a correlation between size and whatever. [He lifts an eyebrow though.] People keep pulling weapons here though because they're family and they're freaking out, what do you expect?

[parodeity]

See, you just said "people" and I went "random customers" not family. Family makes more sense.

[ he was just ????????? at the concept of random people pulling out weapons, like. WHAT BAR STORY WAS THAT. ]

[chiseler]

Random customers could pull weapons, too, if it gives me the answers I want. I'm not too worried about it especially since someone told me some girl received a fork in the mail. But okay, so maybe that was a little misleading.

I'm still waiting for the day we get someone else's weapons in the mail instead. Unless that's happened already and I'm missing out on hearing about it.

[parodeity]

Huh. I don't think I know too much about people gettin' shit that ain't theirs, tbh. Except for Yuri's stuffed animal...things. I think they were "his" anyway, I know a bunch of us got those in the mail. But those aren't, uh, weapons.

[chiseler]

[He's going to gesture a little ways down the bar where one of Yuri's cats is perched there. Yeah, he got one, too. He's also ignoring that Dave just said tbh out loud.]

They're not weapons but he didn't have a good explanation either. [Hm.] My sister got a dagger in the mail. It's hers, technically, but it's one I apparently gave her if our memories are to be believed. Wondering about cases like that. Gifts from people, etcetera.

[parodeity]

[ YOU CAN ONLY IGNORE HIS CHATSPEAK FOR SO LONG, LUKE!!! SOMEDAY YOU'LL HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT!!! ],/small>

A'ight. So here's fine? [ just to Confirm ]

[chiseler]

Here's fine. Sometimes I wonder if people are even paying attention anymore...and it's my bar, I can do whatever I want. Lay it on me.

[parodeity]

All right.

[ AND SUDDENLY, CALEDFWLCH because he just grabs it out of his sylladex which means it effectively just Appears. much wow!!! ]

So, I think it's welsh.

[chiseler]

[FUCKING HOMESTUCK, I SWEAR TO GOD.]

Dude. I didn't think you could just magically make it appear even after what you've told me. [But okay, cool, we'll casually talk about this welsh sword.] This is some kind of weird Sword in the Stone shit. What makes you think it's welsh anyway?

[parodeity]

[ YOU LOVE-HATE IT. ]

Uh, mostly a brief argument I remember havin' about it bein' welsh. As in it was, and I didn't see why that would be someone's weakness??? Welsh things is a stupid weakness. How is it a weakness. Do you like keel over dead when someone asks you to pronounce the name of a welsh sword or?

[chiseler]

[I do, apparently. But Luke's taking this into serious consideration given everything else that's come up lately.]

It could have something to do with some properties infused in the sword itself? Like those rumors about those magic stones you can kiss in Ireland or whatever, or how werewolves are weak to silver. Maybe whatever your sword is made of has some special toxins. Dying from pronunciation just sounds stupid.

[parodeity]

...Okay, why the fuck does your stuff sound more plausible? I prefer dyin' from pronunciation because I feel it sounds stupid enough to like, encapsulate how fuckin' dumb this all is, you know?

[ DON'T MAKE IT SOUND PLAUSIBLE, LUKE, HE CAN'T BITCH ABOUT THAT okay he's mostly joking ]

[chiseler]

The fact that it sounds plausible at all is the pretty fucked up part. [Listen. Luke has zero probably saying "fuck" around Dave but won't around his own baby sister. Be honored, etc.] For all we know maybe it's both. Have you tried testing that theory on anybody else yet? Making them pronounce the welsh name and tracking their stats and stuff. I don't know how this stupid RPG kind of stuff works.

Besides. Given everything else around here that's about the most I can get from it. What'd your siblings say about it?

[parodeity]

[ tbh dave has been saying fuck since he was a kidlet so luke probably just gave up if he ever tried... ]

Dude, I can't even pronounce the name of this sword, how'm I gonna try to make someone else do it???

[ THAT SOUNDS HARD. ]

Uh...Dirk thinks Welshness is probably not a real property.

[chiseler]

It's a big city. There has to be someone who can actually pronounce Welsh names, and as much as I admire your brother's brain how does he know Welshness isn't a real property? After everything else it actually wouldn't surprise me. Did he already take a look at it?

[That's. Not how that works, but okay.]

[parodeity]

I hope it actually is a real property just to prove him wrong, actually? [ DESPITE COMPLAINING AND NOT WANTING THAT TWO SECONDS AGO? ] And yeah, I showed it to him, but he didn't like have any welsh-related revelations.

[ why is he focusing on the welsh thing ]
