part 348 candles in the lighthouse window

[aphanon_meme]

Hey meme! How are you doing? What is up? Do you also have a candle lit in your window for the return of Himaruya? like anon who is a light house wife! I hope he returns from the sea soon, with stories of adventure and sea monsters and the life outside the island. Ah, Himaruya. Safe journeys. Safe... journeys.

Enjoy part 348!

The piano, perhaps. Or the violin. Maybe knitting.

...that's fer pansies like Austria.

I ain't a pansy.

[Though he kinda likes the fiddle, ;;]]

Instruments are the hobby of the gentleman!

[dixiesrebel]

Well...I reckon I like th'violine...

[(Anonymous)]

You believe, not reckon. We ought to work on your grammar, too...

[dixiesrebel]

That's jus' th'way I was done raised! That's how I talk!

What's so wrong with that?

[NERVOUS. SELF ESTEEM AT STAKE HERE]

[(Anonymous)]

And you can certainly correct it! It sounds so... well. It doesn't sound formal, you see.

[dixiesrebel]

I mean...on paper I write all formal-like...

[Humph.]

Jus' hard t'go quitin' somethin' yer used to...

[(Anonymous)]

You'll just have to practice, won't you? Anything worth having won't be easy.

[dixiesrebel]

All th'humans down South talks this way, though...

They seem t'do pretty alright for themselves.

[(Anonymous)]

Now, now, that's not true! They don't talk as if they're country farmers!

[dixiesrebel]

But I am...a country...farmer...

[Why u do this to him.]

[(Anonymous)]

That doesn't mean you must talk like one!

[dixiesrebel]

If yer suggest I talk like a Yank', I won't hear it.

...but I suppose talkin' bit more like them upperclass gentlemen ain't a bad idea. I do, ya know, in formal company...when th'time calls for it.

[Sorta.]

[(Anonymous)]

The time always calls for polite speech! And the support of gentlemanly arts, like playing the piano or violin.

[speaking of]

'Yank'! What a volatile word. It won't do in polite company, no it won't.

[dixiesrebel]

Er...can I call 'em Yankees, then? That's what they are...!

[THIS IS HARD.]

[(Anonymous)]

[sighs]

[thinks]

No, it has a certain... rude ring to it. Perhaps you can call them "people from the North."

[dixiesrebel]

Bit long, but...I recko--...guess that's alright.

[This is like pulling teeth, believe him.]

What else can't I say?

[He needs to write this all down.]

[(Anonymous)]

[gives you a little clap, oh, learning!]

Hmm... you shouldn't say curse words, of course. And threats are certainly off limits! Derogatory terms of any nature are, naturally, very impolite. Ah, and you should strive for good grammar instead of words like 'reckon' or--

[shudder]

ain't.

[dixiesrebel]

But! Ain't's a word! We got it from the French! [Sorta] So that makes it fancy!

[YOU'RE GOING TO DESTROY HIM FROM THE INSIDE OUT.]

[(Anonymous)]

'Ain't' is not something we say in polite society! If you're ever going to be respectable, you must abide by these rules!

[perhaps :)]

[dixiesrebel]

But who made those rules?

[Pouts :<]

[(Anonymous)]

Why, society!

[taps your cheek]

[dixiesrebel]

[Tapped and sljelksje blush because lady touched him.]

U-Uh, um, right.

Is there anything else I gotta know? [Actually found a pen and pad. He's got this.]

off to bed! good night!

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, yes, many more things! We shall have to sign you up for etiquette lessons!
