[voice-to-text] un: Linneus

Hello everyone. I've a slightly irregular circumstance I hoped someone might help me with. I debated whether or not I should ask, but-- well, it's been a few days and if-- I suppose if it belongs to someone it's unfair I hold on to it just out of embarrassment.

It's this:


[and here, he attaches an odd image - a photograph of an eggplant, carved out of stone. An unusual subject as stone-carving goes, and certainly an odd thing to be so uncomfortable over that he doesn't seem to want to show his face over the network... but voice to text seems to be doing a great job of catching all of his hesitance over this.

Because the problem is that for Linneus - and only for Linneus - it looks like a giant stone penis.]


It is not the first thing I have had abandoned outside my house, but why this, I haven't much of an idea. There was no note, no explanation, so if anyone could suggest where it might have come from? Whom I might return it to...?

It is a... "distinctive" ornament, so I suppose it's also possible Lula might have taken it.


[which leads to the slightly horrifying thought of Lula proudly running around who-knows where, for who-knows-how-long, holding that]


((tl;dr, Linneus' ACP reward was an enchanted jewellery box shaped like a erection - a dildo of holding, if you will - but only he can see that it's basically a giant phallus. Everyone else sees an eggplant.

Help. Help him.))

I dunno. You can display it in a place everyone can admire it, maybe. Or you can put it in your kitchen.

[Produce statues belong in the kitchen, right?]

Why wouldn't it be? Do you hate 'em that much?

It looks fine to me. It almost looks as good as the real thing.

I'm no expert, but it's art, right? It doesn't have to be.

[Dylas pauses, the audio only picking up his breathing.]

Maybe it's a bit simple, but...it's not bad. But I wouldn't know art if it bit my tail and introduced itself.

Alright. Just what is it that you hate about it? Did an aubergine bully you growing up or something?

It...it is?

[He's still not sure. He feels like he's missing something here.]

Are you alright, Linneus?

[personal profile] sullenstallion 2018-06-17 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
So...you're seeing something else. I know art is subjective, but it's pretty clear that's an eggplant.

[It's not often Dylas sounds concerned. Savor it.]

Did you hit your head or something?

What do you see?

Do eggplants look really different where you're from? I'd understand. Sheep where I'm from walk on two feet, not four.

[personal profile] sullenstallion 2018-06-17 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
And you're sure you didn't hit your head? ...Is it cursed or something? How could something like that be a body sculpture?
sullenstallion: (69)

[personal profile] sullenstallion 2018-06-18 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
If you were cursed, you can fight it off. Curses aren't tough.

[He just wants to get that out there. Ghosts are weak. Punch all ghosts.]

I, uh. Don't really know what to say. I hope you feel better?
