[The little girl in the mirror's looking rather peeved about something, and she's not going to waster any time in telling you what it is. She takes in a deep breath, and then says the following at ear-splitting volume:]

Quit writin' shit down! We've all got this fancy pymaric what lets us talk like real people from a long way away! Why the hell would you use it to send words on paper? That's like buyin' a fancy plod to carry yer handbag!

[Yeah she's a bit annoyed by all the written missives lately, since she's completely illiterate.]

You should really learn to write dude. It's easy.

[swarmoflies]

Why the hell should I? What can ya do with writin' that you can't by just talkin', huh?

[fionna_time]

It comes in handy, like, all the time. Seriously?

[swarmoflies]

Maybe if you're a ponce who can't just be direct about stuff.

[fionna_time]

...

You know, if I want I can just trade notes about how dumb you are with someone and you couldn't even read it. Or what if it was a spell that helped you steal faster?

[ It is hard for Excellen to tell whether the rant is out of annoyance or out of insecurity. Or both. ]

It can be worth it to learn, hun.

[swarmoflies]

Learn what? How dumb writing is? Pretty sure I already know that!

[loveloveattack]

Weeell, it's a pretty good tool for snoopin' and findin' secrets, especially if everyone else thinks you can't read. Lots of people write very incriminating things that they would never, ever say...

But if you don't want to expand your repertoire of businesswoman skills...

I can just get somebody else ta read it for me.

And if they're lying? It's pretty easy to embezzle money if your boss can't read.

I don't think you're in the kind of business built on trust, hun.

Forgoing the written word that has existed for thousands of years and relying solely on voice and video feed is an indication of laziness.

Re: Voice

[swarmoflies]

An' using writing instead's a sign that yer an annoying git.

Voice

[ritsu_kouyou]

And yet far more educated.

Tell me, do you bay at the moon as well?

Re: Voice

[swarmoflies]

Education schmeducation. You don't look like you could tell the difference between a shiv an' a lockpick, rich girl.

If you're attempting to insult me, you'll need to try harder. Words from a filthy little beast mean nothing to me.

Perhaps if you write them down, I'll take them into consideration.

[cleaningstop]

Does it really matter?

[swarmoflies]

'course it does!

[cleaningstop]

But why?

[swarmoflies]

'cuz writing's dumb, that's why!

[cleaningstop]

How can you say that when so many wonderful literary works have been made?!

[spacejumping]

They both have their purpose.

[swarmoflies]

Sure. The one's for talking, the other's for looking like an overeducated git.

[spacejumping]

Better that than none at all.

[swarmoflies]

But you can just talk! We're doin' it right now!

[spacejumping]

Different situations call for different methods of communication.
