Saturday, November 24- Live from the North Pole

[solo_sword]

Jaina had decided to spend a few days back home while the island was quiet for the holiday, since it felt sort of weird not to go up and back between two places all the time. It was a good visit, too, not as awkward-feeling as it had been before with everyone checking up on her, so she had no complaints.

Until she was trying to come back, anyhow. Apparently thanks to airline strikes a lot of people had booked portals instead at the last minute on an already super busy weekend, which meant she'd been bumped from her first portal and forced to take another one that had ended her up in an Old West ghost town before getting here. Where she was going to have to wait for at least another hour, and the worst part was there was no ticket counter here for her to threaten somebody.

@JainaSolo_: At North Pole. Fewer elves than expected.
@JainaSolo_: ...Are gnomes and elves related? Asking for a potentially threateny friend.

@a_tton: Your message popped up on the feed and I don't have anything better to do. I mean, really, what do you think this IM platform was invented
@a_tton: for?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: To appease narcissists and to allow people like me to complain.
JainaSolo_: Gotta admit, I've got a point.

[suitably_heroic]

@a_tton: I'm failing to see how 'appeasing narcissists' and 'entertaining me' are mutually exclusive.
@a_tton: What's an elf anyway?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: They're supposedly "Santa's" helpers. I don't come up with these things, I just pass them along.

[suitably_heroic]

@a_tton: Earth thing, got it. So who are we threatening?

Who was she threatening. One of these things.

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @a_tton Portalocity and those who work for them. They've earned it.
JainaSolo_: @a_tton (I'm not SUPPOSED to be at the North Pole, see.)

[suitably_heroic]

@a_tton: Sure you read all the fine print? I hear that one's always gonna bite you in the ass.

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: Read it, AND they're usually terrified of me. Obviously someone has a death wish.

[suitably_heroic]

@a_tton: Well, don't let me stop you from the massacre they clearly deserve.

(Take a boy out of the Sith...)

silvertongued: @JainaSolo_ @a_tton They are creatures with pointed ears and the unfortunate inclination to threaten mine brother. I believe the right term here is 'they mad'

[suitably_heroic]

@a_tton: So why hasn't anyone killed them yet?

IT WAS AN HONEST QUESTION.

[abitlowkey]

silvertongued: @a_tton That would be called genocide and I have been informed it is bad.

YES, LOKI. IT'S BAD.

[suitably_heroic]

@a_tton: Bad is relative.

Yep.

[abitlowkey]

silvertongued: @a_tton It would upset mine brother. He would FROWN at me.

[suitably_heroic]

@a_tton: Anyone ever tell you you're kind of a pushover?

[abitlowkey]

silvertongued: @a_tton No.
silvertongued: @a_tton I do, however, have a sort of reputation of wanton murder and destruction.
silvertongued: @a_tton Though that me died. So it is most unfair that I live in his shadow.

[suitably_heroic]

@a_tton: ... Yeah, as the locals say... fight the power, kid.

[abitlowkey]

silvertongued: @a_tton Which power?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @silvertongued @a_tton I thought they were supposed to make toys?

[abitlowkey]

silvertongued: @JainaSolo_ @a_tton ...they do WHAT now?

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @silvertongued @a_tton Make toys for Santa to deliver to good kids, if you believe in that sort of thing.

Jaina did not, no.

[abitlowkey]

silvertongued: @JainaSolo_ @a_tton ...
silvertongued: @JainaSolo_ @a_tton Are you certain of this? For it is the dwarves who are more suited to creation than the elves.

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @silvertongued @a_tton I've never SEEN it but it seems to be pretty widely accepted.

[abitlowkey]

silvertongued: @JainaSolo_ @a_tton Were the Greeks involved? Very little makes sense in that pantheon.

[solo_sword]

JainaSolo_: @silvertongued @a_tton Not that I know of! Ask around, I'm sure people will back me up on this.
