[Inside the present was... fish??]

[localweirdo]

Oh, how wonderful!

Is that your way of presenting me with good luck?

Wait. Should I be worried about that or not? (ʘᗩʘ')

[fishflakes]

[He chuckles from his end of the text, even if she doesn't see it.]

You're pretty good at this. It's been a while since I saw anyone using emojis like that.

And what, you don't send people fish for good luck in your world?

[Is he serious? Trolling? Who can say!]

[localweirdo]

I do but never as a message!

But if you are sending it my way, I fear something terrible will happen!

[Is she trolling in return too? Who knows!]

[fishflakes]

Nah, it'll be okay. You just gotta do something fish-related to make sure the good luck sticks.

Like make a fish dish, or feed a stray cat. Or put fish in your shoes, idk.

[A troll meeting a troll? Has Toge found a kindred spirit??]

[localweirdo]

Hm...

Well, I do like a lot of fish
And it does make me want to wish
For such a dish
I will want to be nourished.

[fishflakes]

Sick bars. You like a poet or something?

[localweirdo]

You can say that.

I am called Versemonger of the darkest alley for a reason!

[fishflakes]

Versemonger? That's one hell of a title.

If you were to be a rapper that would be one pretty sick rapper name.

[localweirdo]

Indeed, if I were.

Although, it was only recently that I knew what a rapper was. Is it really a privilege to be called such a title?

[fishflakes]

You don't have rappers in your world?

Sort of. I mean, anyone can rap I guess, but to be recognized as a professional one is really hard. It's like asking to be a celebrity or pop idol; anyone can want it but not everyone's cut out for it.

[localweirdo]

No, I don't think so but we do have poets? Does that count?

I know my friend, Xingqiu, and I regularly go on poetry sessions to see which one is better.

[fishflakes]

Poets huh?

Well, poets are basically old-fashioned rappers. There's even a kind of rap called slam poetry. So I guess that counts

[localweirdo]

I see.

In other words, you're saying that I am a rapper in your world. How interesting, I never thought of myself that way. I suppose it'll be something I have to do more of here, no?

[fishflakes]

Why not? I'm sure there's others here who know what rap music is. Why not ask around and get some pointers? You'll be a rap legend in no time.

[localweirdo]

You make it seems like that I should become one here.

Perhaps I should ditch my occupation as a funeral director and go straight into a musical career?

[fishflakes]

Funeral director? You like, deal with dead bodies and stuff?

Well, guess there's nothing stopping you from having a side hustle?

[localweirdo]

More or less.

But I guess I can try to mix the two. I can always 'rap' about death!

[fishflakes]

Hell yeah, now you're talking. Spin those deadly rhymes!
