Hello? Hello, is this thing on?

Huh, cool.

Anyway, uh. Hi, I'm Wrench, and this newbie has two questions. One, is there anything the Wicked Witch of the West might not have shared that might be important? [he means Karsa] And two, what's to stop a guy from using this piazza thing to share a few dozen dick jokes with the entire city?

[he probably won't actually do that. maybe. maybe not. someone please talk him out of it]

I have no idea who you're talking about but the answer is "almost certainly" anyway.

And absolutely nothing's stopping you besides shame, though you might get kicked out afterward. Maybe wear a mask you're not going to get recognized in.

[in_theworks]

The sorceress chick. [he could probably recall her name, if he tried hard enough, but -- well, he's not a fan. he also doesn't want to be turned into a frog or something, so he'll just be as vaguely disrespectful as possible, that in mind] Either way, you wanna share with the rest of the class?

Also, the mask thing isn't going to be a problem.

Though, it's kind of recognizable.

HM.

[sergeant_slick]

Karsa? Barely had anything to do with her. If you want more about her, ask somebody else.

You're new, right? Don't know what basics you've gotten, but to sum it up: lots of us are from different planets, yes that's a thing that's possible, we've been told we can get home if we keep heading east, but I haven't seen any real confirmation of that yet. Also things keep trying to kill us on the reg, so keep an eye out.

[in_theworks]

Yeah, I kinda got that much.

Also the whole weird House of Cards vibe this place has going.

[look, that was the first political drama he could think of, off the top of his head. so what if he's never watched it and therefore has no real idea if it's apropos? so what if Slick has probably never watched it? it's the principle of the thing]

But like, has anyone ever thought of just trying to steal the transporter thingy we need? [instead of all the politicking]

There is nothing stopping you from anything, good sir, except maybe common decency. If it seems in short supply though, far be it from me to hold you back. One must find their amusement.

[in_theworks]

[if Moran is going to do voice, so will he! twinsies!]

Pfft, decency. Have you met me? [there's a pause, seemingly largely for effect, and then:] Wait, no, you actually haven't.

[beitangmoran]

An astute observation, Young Master.

I take it you are newly arrived, alongside the merry band who was prisoners in the dungeons.

Master Wrench, as to the first question, I would guess quite a lot. As to the second, I hear the citizens of Taravast can be rather fond of reaching to touch the codpiece of whoever has caught their attention - if such or similar seems to your taste, go ahead and focus their attention in such a way?

[in_theworks]

Anything worth sharing?

Like where I sign up for the bad touching, maybe?

[topoiran]

If she had told us, she would have told you, I am certain.

And are you that desperate, you poor dear?

[chosenfordarkness]

hey wrench
i have no idea who you're talking about.

i guess nothing is stopping you, but what's the quality of these jokes? can't share bad jokes and waste an opportunity right?

[in_theworks]

The sorceress chick.

And, huh. You may have a point, my dude. Especially since this is, like, my maiden voyage. I need something GOOD.

[out of all the arguments (or lack thereof) that he's heard, thus far, Anakin's may be the first that's actually given him pause. congratulations]

[chosenfordarkness]

oh, her. yeah, probably.

so let's hear them. i'm all ears. or uh. eyes, i guess.

[downswing]

Shame and decency.

[in_theworks]

Yeah, sorry, I missed that day in class.

[downswing]

A life's learning.

Without that Wicked Witch of the West, you might not have found your way to us.

( show some respect. )

[in_theworks]

Yeah, no, pretty sure that was all on the zombies, but thanks for playing.

[him? show respect to an authority figure? perish the thought!]

[valeas]

I am not playing, and neither should you.

( if he'd like to make absurd jokes and jeopardize his ticket home, though, he can be her guest. )

(that actually earns a laugh out of diego)

i guess no one has had the balls to try that yet, so i don't know what's stopping them

[in_theworks]

Lucky for me Balls of Steel is my middle name.

The-Balls of Steel-Wrench.

[fortunately or maybe unfortunately, depending, the urge to post dick jokes in earnest has mostly passed. he's just -- look, he's a scared kid, coping with his culture shock by being loud and obnoxious]

[gladiokinesis]

colorful name you've got there. i'm just diego

(formerly number two. he thinks he likes diego better.)

[rumorate]

Probably nothing, but some of the higher ups take it super personally if you direct anything remotely disrespectful at them.

[So be careful if you do.]

It's honestly pretty Shakesperean, and he was never afraid of a good dick joke so ... use the power wisely?

[in_theworks]

Exactly!

[because emulating someone as (dubiously) lofty as Shakespeare is definitely why he feels the need to make dick jokes in a public forum. definitely]

Maybe I could start a whole, like, literary revolution!

[rumorate]

[Oh, Allison has no doubt that he's doing it to troll everyone, but she sees no issue with giving him amunition.]

The people around here are a little stuffy. They could use a shake up. Just be careful who you bite your thumb at.
