....it means something?

[ englighten her, claudia ]

1/3

[shaft]

The sound a friend makes when they're unable to continue:

"I'm falling asl..."

2/3

[shaft]

Or could it be short for "Annette Saves Lives"?

[shaft]

For example, every time you do a good deed, you sign off with ASL!

[overannchiever]

i'm pretty sure that's not what it means
or what it should mean
you're just teasing me, aren't you?

[shaft]

Why would you think that? Unless you secretly do know the meaning and you're the one teasing me.

[overannchiever]

of course i don't!
that's why i asked you

[ what is happening here ]

i wouldn't tease someone i've never met anyway, that's just rude

[shaft]

Ah, so you're accusing me of being the rude one.

[overannchiever]

yes
no
i don't know!

[ why you gotta be like this, claude ]

you were just trying to help

[ even if it didn't feel like it ]

[shaft]

I was.

So what do you think?

[overannchiever]

about what?
annette saves lives?

[ and everything else ]

i don't know...it sounds kind of self-important, don't you think?

[shaft]

There's nothing wrong with tooting your own horn once in a while.

But... I agree. It does bring to mind some other characters I know.

[overannchiever]

other characters?

[ please elaborate ]

[shaft]

Yes! Characters that presume to be the key to the world's problems.

Characters that love to grace you with their unsolicited opinion.

[ Characters that just happen to be on the tdm... ]

Who wear unconscionable amounts of purple.

[overannchiever]

[ .....................

This sounds very specific. And also very familiar. ]

is this character a friend of yours?

[shaft]

"Friend" is a bit of a stretch. I suppose you could call us old acquaintances.

You don't know any characters like that?

[overannchiever]

i guess i do
he's kind of a pain though

[ The less she thinks about Lorenz, the better. Sorry, bud. ]

i hope yours is less annoying

[shaft]

He's incredibly annoying, don't worry. If you do ever take up saving lives, I would appreciate you salvaging our relationship.

[overannchiever]

[ she'll do her best.... ]

why don't you guys try talking out your problems over a pot of tea?
i find that always helps me

[shaft]

Oh, he doesn't shut up about tea.

"How you could consider such watery drivel a beverage worthy of consumption, is frankly beyond me! I would have prepared a blend from my own collection if I had known I was to be given garbage, but obviously it would be wasted on such an unrefined palate."

That kind of thing.

[overannchiever]

wow, your friend sounds exactly like my friend
does your friend also think nobles are the greatest people to ever walk the land?

[shaft]

I've definitely heard him say something to that effect.

[overannchiever]

[ wow, truly amazing how the list of coincidences grow! ]

hey
what's your friend's name?

[ asking for a friend. ]

[shaft]

Florenzia.

[overannchiever]

[ wow, that even sounds kind of like lorenz.


wait a minute. claudia......florenzia........ ]

you don't happen to also have a friend named hatilda, do you?
