Hennes These Days, Aye just Don't Know

Mostly for the benefit of littlebluefish, tho I suspect there are one or two others who will enjoy it.

Oh but they do make me laugh :p This started last night when I was explaining to someone that she got an ot.dir tm from flying because she is the one steering, not the broomstick, which is, after all, just a stick.

This caused some Consternation...
channel Witches.

The eyes mutter about your bad memory.

Helena wisped: its a STICK
Tohya wisped: It's a *magic* stick!
Cheeky wisped: winces and waits for helena to make a crater
Callia wisped: And magic on Discworld has a tendency to beat you up if you're
disrespectful.
Minnie wisped: laters
Helena wisped: over time dearie, it has learnt to Respect me
Thistle wisped: never disrespect your broom
Helena wisped: you're not getting the it's just a stick part really, are you?
Thistle wisped: if you think its just a stick then you chose the wrong guild i think.
Helena wisped: have a look at a it dearie

This continued in tells with Uppity young Thistle, who after telling me I was in the wrong guild tried to educate me in the concept of 'roleplay' and well. Made me laugh a LOT.

You tell Thistle: yes dear, but its YOU that tells it where to go, the stick
does not read maps
Thistle tells you: yeah but its called roleplaying. to witches their broom is
nearly sentient
You tell Thistle: i don't recall our emse ever thinkin' her broom could think
Thistle asks you: our what?
You tell Thistle: Our Esme
Thistle asks you: and what or who is that?
You ask Thistle: are you a lancre witch dearie?
Thistle tells you: i joined in bad ass yes
You tell Thistle: then I suggest you do a bit of research on your local witches dearie
You tell Thistle: particularly if you're attempting to roleplay one
Thistle tells you: there is no witch named esme in lancre history unless its
just in the books
You cackle at Thistle.
Thistle tells you: because its not mentioned in game

At this point I was very much in the state so often referred to as ROFLMAO. Our Sera got in on the act and after some Merry Japes and Pointed Mentions on the channel, the penny finally drops with poor Thistle
(10 minutes later)
Thistle tells you: unless your refering to esmerelda (granny
You applaud Thistle wholeheartedly.

Never disrepect your broom my arse. Where DO they come from?


Hmm. It has occurred to me I have been SUCKED BACK IN. Posting logs, oh dear :p
