To be fair, this one is mostly a DM quote:
(edited for Tells and clarity, and also to remove numerous emotes of laughter. JohnTomMary is a hideous construct)
Johntommary: I AM JOHNTOMMARY OR A BELIEVEABLE LOCAL ALTERNATIVE.
Johntommary: I AM A LOCAL ENGAGING IN GOSSIP ABOUT RECENT EVILS. MY REASONS ARE BELIEVEABLE AND CONVINCING.
Isaac Dane: of course, don't you know we locals have makers?
Taruma: Perhaps you could tell us some of the local gossip you know? about *rolls her hand* evils and whatnot
Johntommary: YES. OF COURSE I KNOW. I TOO HAVE A MAKER.
Johntommary: GUBBLEBUB LIFTSLAMMER OR A BELIEVEABLE ALTERNATIVE.
Johntommary: THE MAYOR LOCAL TO ZVIDURETH HAS INFLICTED RESIDENTS WITH; *pauses then lists between pauses*
Johntommary: NAY THE FOUNTAIN.
Johntommary: NITHLINGS.
Taruma: *laughs* *long and hard and bright*
Isaac Dane: *laughs*
Gann Eider: *a groan that burbs and warbles into a chuckle*
Johntommary: REVOLUTION IS NOT RECCOMENDED HOWEVER. REMAIN LOYAL TO LOCAL MAYOR.
Taruma: *tsk* How does one expect to affect political change with that attitude?
Johntommary: I AM FORBIDDEN FROM INCITING REBELLION. ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS MUST BE FOUND.
Taruma: That sort of thinking is how entrenched power stays entrenched. Even if you don't actually want a revolution, removing the option from the table limits the power of the governed over their governors
Johntommary: *fixates on Taruma*
Johntommary: PROCESSING.
Isaac Dane: Taruma, I'm blaming you if the constructs rise up to take over Negaria.
Johntommary: ....
Johntommary: ....
Taruma: *grins*
Johntommary: THREAT OF REBELLION IS A VALID TOOL.
Johntommary: LOCALS.
Isaac Dane: I'm serious. I'll lead the angry mob.
Johntommary: ACQUIRE THE FOLLOWING:
Gann Eider: *folds his arms and smirks*
Johntommary: TORCHES.
Gann Eider: Pitchforks!
Johntommary: PITCHFORKS.
Gann Eider: Scythes!
Johntommary: DEFAMATORY SIGNS.
Johntommary: SCYTHES.
Johntommary: ADOPT EXPRESSIONS OF DISSATISFACTION. OBSERVE ME FOR A REFERENCE.
Gann Eider: Oooo, don't forget the chanting.
Johntommary: *twisted face becomes an awkward grimace*
Taruma: Yes, you'll want a good slogan, I expect
Johntommary: YES. A SLOGAN. LOCAL TARUMA, WHAT IS A FITTING THREATENING SLOGAN?
Gann Eider: *tries to copy the construct's face, making a horrid frowning and shakes his fist*
Gann Eider: Err, depends on yerr point o' disastasfaction, right?
Taruma: Well, it's best if you make your own. Who is the object of your rebellion and what rhymes?
Johntommary: MAYOR LOCAL TO ZVIDURETH.
Taruma: Well *gently* at least one easy rhyme suggests itself. can you find it?
Johntommary: PROCESSING.
Johntommary: ...
Johntommary: ...
Taruma: *is having a lovely time*
Ernst Tcharov: "Cut the Millstone from our necks!", perhaps?
Taruma: Oh, I like that one
Isaac Dane: Were you a revolutionary in your youth, magus? or perhaps a rebel?
Johntommary: MILLSTONE; GIVE US A FOUNTAIN HOME.
Taruma: *smiles* well, it has passion behind it anyway
Taruma: Now, this is important- what will you offer as an alternative to the current government? Even if it's only a philosophy to guide
Ernst Tcharov: If by "a rebel" you mean "an extremely studious youth", then certainly
Isaac Dane: *chuckles at Ernst*
Johntommary: LEADERSHIP THAT PROVIDES FOUNTAINS AND KILLS NITHLINGS.
Gann Eider: How's about, "We want the right to rebel, or we'll make hell!"
Johntommary: PROCESSING.
Johntommary: ...
Taruma: *wipes her hands to indicate a job well done*
Johntommary: ...
Johntommary: NEW SLOGAN: 'MILLSTONE IS A BORE, IT IS TIME FOR TOR.'
Gann Eider: Oh by the nine gods and the nine hells. *cracks up, clutching at his sides*
Ernst Tcharov: What is your definition of a "nithling", Johntommary?
Isaac Dane: Yes, enlighten us, please.
Johntommary: DEFINITION OF NITHLING KNOWN TO TOR.
Johntommary: AS BELIEVEABLE LOCALS WE ALL KNOW THE MEANING AS WELL. LET ONE OF YOU SHARE IT WITH ME THAT WE MIGHT ALL CONFIRM THAT WE KNOW ITS DEFINITION.
Gann Eider: Mmm, 'Nithinling' anyone who Tor suspects o' 'aving a larger vocabulary or more brains.
Gann Eider: I.e. everyone that ain't Tor or a cockraoch.
Johntommary: *fixes its gaze on Gann*
Gann Eider: Which sadly my friend, probably includes you, Johntommary.
Johntommary: PROCESSING.
Johntommary: ...
Johntommary: ...
Isaac Dane: *chuckle at that*
Ernst Tcharov: [Whisper] Convincing this thing that everyone is a nithling...
Ernst Tcharov: [Whisper] may result in it trying to kill everyone.
Johntommary: DEFINITION INTERNALISED.
Johntommary: FELLOW NITHLINGS.
Gann Eider: *seems far too amused to be moral about this*
Johntommary: LET US ALL FIND AXES TO EMBED IN OURSELVES AT OUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE.
Johntommary: I AM UNABLE TO DO PHYSICAL HARM TO LOCALS. YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THIS YOURSELVES.
Johntommary: FOR NOW I MUST RETURN TO MY OVERBEARING MATE FOR LIFE.
Ernst Tcharov: [Whisper] Liftslammer is taking the lessons of past failures to heart, it seems.
Johntommary: THEY ARE A MURDERER. IN A METAPHORICAL SENSE.
Taruma: *ruffles Gann's hair*
ni dieu, ni maître.
