Who: anyone
When: Day 27, evening
Where: Apartment Z
What: TABLEGASM

[So there's been drama, there's been hangovers, there's been nature violence and there's been the drudgery of daily life. But who cares about that. The door to Z is open and Noric is in the middle of the room, studying the ebony, fancy looking furniture item that just appeared there.]

...I'm almost loathe to admit this... but I kind of want to sleep on it, just because I can.

[Oh yes. Apartment Z got a table.]

Comments

[intellectum]

As long as I get to tease you about it.

[untempered]

Oh, you'd just be jealous.

[intellectum]

Jealous. Of a table.

[untempered]

Yes.

It's a very nice table.

[intellectum]

I do not get jealous over inanimate objects. It's like you being jealous over one of my books.

[untempered]

You get jealous over books. That's a terrible comparison to make.

[heroictale]

That reminds me of a story.

[carting his bedroll and stuff over]

[intellectum]

Everything reminds you of a story.

[heroictale]

It does not.

Which room is unclaimed?

[intellectum]

The one to the far right.

[heroictale]

Thank you.

[Goes set up there... after telling Noric the story]

[intellectum]

Don't ruin his good mood.

[untempered]

Does it now.

[heroictale]

Yes. About a man and a table.

[untempered]

If it's an explicit story I don't want to hear it.

[heroictale]

It's a silly one. About a man who made an uneven table. So he sawed off the other ends to make it even. Unfortunately, he sawed off too much on one end and it continued to be uneven. This continued until he was left with nothing but the surface.

In the end, he had to prop the table up on stones.

... and it was still uneven.

[. . . I picked the best time to visit]

My, should I come at another time?

[intellectum]

Tempest.

[hyanaimne]

Good evening, my dear scholar. How are you?

[intellectum]

I'm fine. You?

[hyanaimne]

Quite well, thank you. I thought I would stop by to visit.

[untempered]

Now is fine.

[hyanaimne]

But I would feel horrible, really, interrupting your moment of joy over your new furniture.

[untempered]

Thankfully, furniture is a lasting thing, so the joy will keep.

[hyanaimne]

Oh, that is true enough. But I was hoping to catch you wax poetic at it, at least before I was caught watching.
