You told me it would be better than showing up at the elve's place. We don't know that yet, as we haven't been to the elves nor ummies.

Seeing as we know both of them feel about as kindly towards hydras as King Arthur would have felt about a demon...

The dwarves might be upset when EVERYONE TALKS AT THE SAME TIME.

We are talking in turns. See? The posts are in order. Besides, several of us are referring to each other.
Besides, if the dwarves have politicians, they'll understand.

You just don't understand my picture message. It basically states that we came on an exploration mission, and we wish to forge a peace agreement and possibly other such agreements in the future.
A picture is worth a thousand words.

If they can be shown, aye. However, hydras aren't notable artists. Unless you count interpretive bellows as art.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

snip demons

Neither of us knows that.

snip turns snip

That's one way to interpret it.
The other is we're all chattering at the tired, hostile, impatient bear-riding dwarf with archers at his call at the same time. We're all answering his question in our own ways, not commenting on what the others said- why would each of us take turns saying the same thing? Why would he listen to us if we were?

Speak quickly, or the archers will fire

(drawings)
Hydras aren't notable artists YET! In the interim he grips it with his mouth!

Neither of us knows that.

Humans and elves view us as a horrible abomination and a blasphemy. I'd say that's a good analogy.

Some of us are. I think. I know I did.

Politeness?

Good luck with that. I'd try using your mouth for talking, though.

Unless they're 'scientific, pacifist vegetarian space people with Jesus-esque generosity.'

politeness

To expect politeness is folly! It's ours to give, but not expect- they just finished their battle, and right before they get to go in for warm ale and a tasty bed some hydra shows up. Euch. The last few were a doosy to deal with.

Now we jabber at him like a flock of 12-yr-olds, drawing pictures in the dirt & trying to hug him. We gotta get our shit together.

That or we really are taking turns and he really is patiently listening. I'll hope for the best and expect the worst.

mouths are for talking

Don't need to talk if you're drawing pictures old boy!

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Since they're a dictatorship ("military"?)

More of a coalition of generals that have shown exceptional ability in strategy and tactics than a dictator.

[Remuthra]

Put these in the OOC thread!  Also, Remuthra, you need to post what you are saying.

That was what I was saying, I'm currently only communicating through picture messages.

Good to know, then there's hope! We gotta get more info if we're going to impress them with our strategies and tactics. Mmm, this might be interesting.

I meant the things in the parentheses.

Are you willing to bet our life on that?

Agreed. Also: Note the question marks.

Well, words are generally more effective than a hydra's first mouth-drawing.
And they're more easily comprehensible.

We have now switched positions. You are now arguing my point from literally a couple days ago. Do you understand where I'm coming from now?

Hey, that's like, your opinion, man. Also not technically his first mouth-drawing. ~20th or so.

It's more fun to participate.


Where's that alliteration guy?

[borno]

Is it OK if I change my wait listed character? I want someone more interesting. If so, then I switch Mr. Dapper with
Head name: Muse
Personality fluff: Only speaks in song lyrics.

We haven't switched positions as far as I'm aware.

Fun fact: Mouths are meant for eating, not for fine manipulation.

Questioning the other's speculation, yep.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Still makes them a better bet than humans or elves.

You may want to hedge that bet....

Lies and slander.


-edit
That panic roll..
Elves are shaping up to be assholes...

+1 for goldie!
Calling them gents might be civility overkill. After all, dwarves are dwarves by god!

I hope the last hydras were as wacky as us...greeny made his appearance, F.Y.R. prolly will too. Try not to kill FYR, he's got military connections.

Are we still being followed around by our priests?

[Dariush]

BTW, Zanze, could you please PM me if my head grows?
