[The writing is messy, as the writer is being jostled quite a bit. It probably wouldn't be recognizable if the sentence structure wasn't so distinct.]

This, it is ridiculous! There have been ridiculous things before, but this, it is the most! My chair will not stop! I cannot sit without them taking off and playing music of all things!

I need a gun. To SHOOT MY CHAIRS. EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM. If they are shot, they cannot run, hm? Or must I leash them now?

This is the most undignified, ludicrous, utterly stupid thing that has ever happened in this Sphere.

I think I begin to hate my life.

[[ooc: Musical chairs event. Ambassador is currently a hostage of one of his sturdier table chairs. Feel free to see/laugh/mock/be in the path.]]

The shouts of "Stop, stop, you bastard son of a thrice-damned peasant" were not warning?

The chair, it has arms. And I am clinging to them with all of my might since I do not care to be flung off an island.

[live_ringer]

Considering it happened in the Bazaar, I thought it was someone getting robbed.

Never tried jumping and rolling away when there wasn't an island in sight? Might have saved you a trip or two.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I am being robbed! Of my dignity!

Jump and roll? My dear Gene, is this another jibe at my size? Look at him, he's rotund, he must have lots of padding to roll with?

[live_ringer]

Yeah, I hear that's a common occurrence here.

Jump, tuck, and roll is standard procedure for exiting a moving vehicle with minimal injury. Sort of a one size fits all deal.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

One day, our revenge, we will have, hm?

A moving vehicle? Into the vacuum of space? Why would you roll? You float.

[live_ringer]

One can hope.

...A moving vehicle that's close to the ground. Space crafts tend to have evacuation pods for that sort of thing. [Small pause, and then.] You've traveled in many space vehicles, have you?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Why would you have a vehicle close to the ground? Surely it would hit things. Unless you are crashing onto a planet? And the pod, it does the landing for you.

I am from a space station. This, I have even seen.

[live_ringer]

It's for traveling across the ground. You know, set on wheels and propelled so that it rolls on them?

Huh, haven't run across many others familiar with space travel.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Wheels? You mean, like a cart? Those, they are just for farming now.

Nor have I. I did not know you knew it.

[live_ringer]

I mean like a car. Just. Think of somewhere between the cart and a shuttle, and you'll have a general idea of what I'm getting at.

I've gotten a hint that I do, at least.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

How quaint and backward.

Perhaps, when I am not stuck on this abomination of accursed wood and fabric, we should discuss this, hm?

[live_ringer]

It beats travel by chair.

I wouldn't mind it. Got a time and place in mind?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes. But crawling, it too beats travel by chair.

Perhaps you tell me more about how one safely 'tucks and rolls' and then, when I am clear of this damnable furniture I would have more ability to think.

[live_ringer]

Crawling is a bit impractical if you're traveling a mile or more.

Aside from advising that you bend the knees when your feet hit the ground then rolling along your side when the momentum takes you forward, I don't know what to tell you. Guess it'll just be a matter of playing the waiting game till then.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes. But if you are to go one mile for something, why not have tht something brought to you?

Bend my knees and roll on my side. How long do you think the chair can keep going?

[live_ringer]

I don't think everything comes with a delivery service.

You would be a better judge of that than me.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

It should. It would be much better.

I will wait a little while longer. Leaping, it is not my thing.

[live_ringer]

Maybe you could start up a delivery service and make up for the lack.

Probably wise.

just reject if either of you don't want this IC/OOCly

[lingeringlegacy]

Perhaps you can join us in the teahouse? I also would want to hear more stories of space.

Works for me!

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Does this mean that I will see you then, and then another time, my dear Stellaris?

[lingeringlegacy]

That sounds good.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes, I believe it does.

[live_ringer]

That works well enough.

[lingeringlegacy]

Pic Meet me at work?

[live_ringer]

Will do.
