Potato.

I can't say I've heard of that flavor before.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Neither had I, but I'm not going to complain.

[ooc: LMFAO. Beauty. =D ]

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you got a flavor you like! It seems a fun enough curse, as long as your flavor isn't too popular.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

The Luggage hasn't let anyone get close enough to me to test it.

...

I wonder if the Luggage has a flavour.

[ooc: You've had it? I crave Walter's flavor - jasmine, but I've never had potato.]

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's handy!

. . .

I suppose there's only one way to find out. As long as your Luggage doesn't overly mind. Wouldn't want to tee off a man-eating luggage.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

When it's in the proper mood.

...

I'd get splinters in my tongue if it didn't just bite my whole head off.

[ooc: You've intrigued me. I wonder if it's possible to find in the states. I live in an area with a very diverse demographic. And jasmine ice cream is lovely, very subtle.]

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

I hope it's in a proper good mood often, then.

. . .

. . . . . maybe not such a good idea then.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Have you ever met a dyspeptic badger?

[ooc: If I come across a source, I'll be sure to link you.]

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

. . . . . I can't say that I have?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Take my word for it - the badger has the better temperament.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

That... that.... remind me never to get on the bad side of your luggage, then. But at least it seems to be in a helpful hungry? mood today!

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

I think it's almost as glad as I am to see the Patrician gone.

Strike = Not There

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Oh, he's gone, is he? That's convenient. I suppose it's quite a feat if he managed to intimidate your luggage too.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Finally.

Er... I mean, yes.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Ah... better luck with your next roommate then?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Someone other than the Tyrant of Ankh-Morpork would be a treat.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Yes, generally one doesn't want to bunk down with tyrants and.... that was actually his real title?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

No. His official title is Patrician, but I think when it's "one man one vote" and he's the one man, tyrant works.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Heh, well, monarchies tend to be like that, but in that case, I'll congratulate you on your sudden roommate vacancy. Although it makes me wonder what he may or may not have been doing while here...

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Oh no. It's not a monarchy. Patrician isn't hereditary. We haven't had a monarchy in a very long time.

But having him gone makes me happy. Ever since he made me babysit a tourist, my life has gone to the... well, it would have gone better if had just gone to the dogs.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

So, it's an elected office? Couldn't he be bounced out then?

Well, I'm certainly glad for you then. . . . . . . . . . . the tourist was that bad?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Remember what I said about one man one vote?

Twoflower? Yes. I mean he means well, but... yes. He's that bad.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Sounds like some of the republics from back home.

Bad luck? . . . . he isn't somehow responsible for you ending up here, is he?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

He does a good job. Crime's down and the city runs well enough. I just wish he'd never known my name.

Twoflower? No.

... At least, I don't think so. I didn't hear "Wait, let me take a picture" or anything before I ended up here.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Well, at least this place can be considered a sort of vacation from that now.

That's good at least? Although it might be enough to put one off cameras for awhile.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

As soon as I get comfortable, I'll end up back in Fourecks, I expect.

Cameras, dragons, sailing, travel, trolls...

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

. . . . you know, that would be one clever way of finding a way back.

That sounds like quite an adventure. You ever consider writing down your memoirs?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

It's just the way my luck works.

It's too depressing.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

My lucks tends to go really good or really bad too.

Ah well.... not sure if others would consider that so, but I suppose something to keep in mind if you'd ever need the potch money.
