ain't no time for moping when we're working and we're coping

[isawallflower]

[ Here we are, another meeting! Noon comes fast (sorry to the stake-out folks!) and Riley's got everything...well, there's not much to set up besides food and drink (no Mountain Dew this time) but she has a clipboard and a cheery attitude, nevertheless. Hosting Mode is on. ]

Welcome, everyone~! I know we've all been looking around into...everything. So! I thought it would be important to share anything we've found with the group, so we can all put our heads together, to try and. Solve this whole thing!

[ #NailedIt ]

Let's try and keep this civil and relaxed, okay?

An... Angry lightning disk? Like some kind of magic spirit?

[can we get a brain cell? Can we PLEASE get a brain cell??]

[heathencall]

Yes, exactly like that. And a vengeful one at that.

[Does he know slightly better? Maybe. Is he going to miss an opportunity to mess with Richard? Absolutely not.]

[superbeliever]

Hm... Probably for the best the beast is contained at night, then.

[Will it ever lose its sheen when he realized Richard is very slow to realize he's being fucked with? Probably not.]

[heathencall]

Imagine if it got out. Perhaps we need a great and noble king to slay it?

[superbeliever]

Oh. Well, of course, I'd be happy to.

But you know, I'd need my sword.

[heathencall]

I can give you a trombone.

[superbeliever]

I don't think that's quite the same thing...

[Whatever a "trombone" is.]

[heathencall]

Angus and Stephen thought it an adequate weapon. If a prince and a commoner could wield it, why couldn't a mighty king such as yourself?

[superbeliever]

Well- because I don't even know what one looks like, let alone how to wield it.

[heathencall]

[There are approximately 228 trombones running around, Richard. How.]

I'm sure Angus would be happy to teach you.

[superbeliever]

Why don't you teach me, if you're so keen to see me do battle with one.

[Bluff. Called.]

[heathencall]

A King of your great stature should only learn from the best. I am ill-experienced in the art of trombone wielding.

[justmeheere]

That's 'cause you were treble when you walked in.

[#sorrynotsorry]

[heathencall]

... I was what?

[Whoosh.]

i'm so happy the song came out in 2012

[37773972]

[hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm~]

[justmeheere]

Treble! You know, 'cause it's brass and - like the song? All about that bass, bout that bass, no treble.

[He is a) extremely off-key 'cause sometimes you're the drunk girl singing Whitney and b) actually about as coherent as normal right now so. There's that.]

[heathencall]

The what?

[justmeheere]

Sometimes, Meph. Mephi. [Fuck it.] Mephy, you gotta. You gotta hit the high notes. It's the, you know, opposite of a trombone. Stephen's a trombone and you! You're a, a, a triangle.

[This metaphor made more sense in his head.]

[heathencall]

I am giving you 5 seconds to make sense, or I am removing you from this meeting myself.

[37773972]

And that's enough from you today, Jeremy.

[Just gonna put a hand over the kid's mouth]

[justmeheere]

[Rude!!! Rude he was contributing!!!!!!!!!!]

[isawallflower]

[ holy fuck she's cursed ]

[etincelledefierte]

No, it’s a -

[thinking. How to translate this.]

It’s like a broom, only instead of brushing aside the dirt, it sucks it up. Only this one is equipped with a taser, which could give you a nasty shock.

[superbeliever]

...Oh.

Well, that's not a fearsome beast at all.

[Mephisto.]

Why not just remove the "taser," then?

[etincelledefierte]

No, normally the worst that will happen with a Roomba is that it gets stuck somewhere. They don’t come with tasers. I am going to guess that nobody could get close enough to the one in the kitchen to remove it without getting shocked.
