Suffering a sudden pen shortage?

[Ferdie]

I have more news.

[...] Pens that write smoothly and don't smear are a precious commodity in the left-handed community. I must protect them.

Rosy/Ursula

[cecaelian]

From the dangers of mingling with a marabou pen?

Rosy/Ursula

[browbeats]

That would be the prudent choice, wouldn't it?

Rosy/Ursula

[cecaelian]

It would, and yet.. perhaps that pen would enjoy a walk on the wild side? Ruffle some of those feathers?

Rosy/Ursula

[browbeats]

According to my graphs, denim marabou pens fall a little closer to the mild side.

Rosy/Ursula

[cecaelian]

And yet somehow they seem to be hotly trending this season.

Rosy/Ursula

[browbeats]

Kind of flies in the face of logic, doesn't it? My pen used to be so dignified.

Rosy/Ursula

[cecaelian]

Its descent into the denim and marabou gutter has been quite a tale to witness.

Rosy/Ursula

[browbeats]

Could have been hanging out with one of those nice fountain pens people get when they retire. Maybe I should just put it out of its misery.

Rosy/Ursula

[cecaelian]

Funny though, I've never found one of those left behind in a closet.

Rosy/Ursula

[browbeats]

It happens.

But then they write you poetry.

Rosy/Ursula

[cecaelian]

The nerve. I'm still shocked they didn't ask to open a joint checking account.

Rosy/Ursula

[browbeats]

Now that sounds a little too wild.

Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

Oh god.

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

I'm wounded. Now you have to guess.

That flour the sophomores were flinging earlier this year was actually radioactive. They're growing extra limbs and everyone's dying.

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

Less students to prefect. Good news, right?

Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

But more paperwork. Evens out.

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

Arguably only a temporary inconvenience. Not sure how I feel about those extra toes you're developing though.

Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

I'll wear shoes.

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

All the time?

Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

Yes. Constantly.

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

That sounds drastic. I could probably grow to love an extra toe or seven.

Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

Or there's always amputation.

What's the real news?

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

Nothing more romantic than amputation.

The bar's been set so high, I'm not sure I can compete, but here goes. [...] My mother's a tad bit miffed, but I'm all yours for Spring Break.
