week 1; wednesday ( shirasu )

[axilium]

[you know how belph was expecting this day to end?

NOT LIKE THIS.

in any case, belph will be waiting in their room for shirasu to return, his expression making his message clear: explain. because seriously, what the hell.]

Comments

[wagashis]

[okay he could comment, probably, but like.]

--'sketch'?

[as in art?? what?

hey why'd I play a past time period asshole.]

I assume you mean one is more concerning, but...

[axilium]

... We really need to update you on slang.

[wagashis]

There were a couple of words that Stephanie had to explain, as well.

[please update him on slang, god. though those weren't really slang tbf.]

It might not be a bad idea to learn.

[axilium]

... Well, I'm here to enrich your knowledge base!

[someone stop this]

Yeah, "sketch"—or sketchy, if you prefer—means something's shady. Questionable, you know?

Anything else you're confused about?

[wagashis]

Nothing specific that comes to mind. She already explained what sociopaths and PTSD are when we spoke...

[he considers, for a moment.]

What sort of slang do you think would be useful to know?

[axilium]

Hmm... let me think.

[i can't believe this is happening, jan says as she pulls up a slang dictionary.]

There's "lit", which means "cool"—not the temperature kind, that is—or, alternatively to get high. You know what high means, right?

[wagashis]

'Lit'-- as in on fire? But it means something cool...? Your slang is a bit strange.

[things I'm not looking up right now: the etymology of 'getting high'. we're just going with it.]

I'm aware of what a high is, yes, though I never dealt with opium or anything like that myself.

[axilium]

You getting high sounds pretty weird, to be honest. Anyway, if you ever want to describe something as exciting or whatever, I guess lit works?

[what else...]

If you ever hear someone [who, half the game is ye olde] say that they "stan" someone, that means they'd defend them. Not in a physical manner, but more like... well, in our context, one example would be, "There's no way they could've committed murder!" Someone who says would be stanning the other person.

[wagashis]

-oh, so you would say that Dazai was stanning Sharpay, then.

[this is so cursed.]

[axilium]

Yeah! You're getting the hang of this.

[there are so many regrets right now.]

And if you wanted to say that something or someone was being needlessly dramatic, you'd call them "extra".

[wagashis]

He could also be described as 'extra', couldn't he.

...I'm unsure if it's a compliment or an insult to him that he makes such a good example.

[axilium]

... He's a very colourful character?
