          I don’t understand why people have a fixation with “brown-chicka-brown-cow”. It’s like you enjoy associating attractiveness with a cow. I think “Bow chicka wow wow” is a much better onomatopoeia.

            I think that version is actually meant to associate it with country music. Sadly my place of work pipes coutnry music almost all the time and that phrase comes up in a song about bumping uglys in a barn.

              Syr’nj Sakamoto does have a nice ring to it.

              His fury’s like an ocean
              The brother axes sing so clear
              She made a clouded potion
              So he won’t slay his teammates dear
              She drowned his rage in science
              “She drowned his rage – with SCIENCE!”

              She seeks to cure his berserkerdom with science. Rendering him blind hopefully won’t be a side-effect. That won’t stop people from deleriously claiming it has done so though.
              That phrase seems to be a thing… but it is a thing I don’t get.

        Well, recall her avatar is a Death Knight. Assumbaly one with the storyline I can barely swallow about how Arthas was able to force Death Knights into creation, so he is technically something of a God to them. Note “A” God. Warcraft is notoriously polytheistisc with Titans, Demons, Naaru, Old Gods, etc all running about willy nilly.

        Speaking of which, I should do something about my avatar, adorable as it is.

    To all of those with the Gravatar of Gravedust so you only see his eyes. It adds a minor hilarity when I see said Gravatar because I feel like he’s sneaking a peek while giving commentary.

    For some reason, what popped into my head aside from the obligatory “Awww” was Sry’nj’s indignant “I’m FEMALE!” from the first or second chapter.

    I’m suddenly reminded of the MU*s I’ve played on in the past where sex was coded… and on random rolls your female toons could get pregnant. LOLZ.

    First thought: Aww . . .
    Second thought: Would they taste odd to each other?
    After all, she bleeds sap and has root toes.
    Third thought:You know, I bet they wouldn’t care.
    Fourth thought. Alt text: Agreement.

    I think this will be more beneficial to Byron in the long run than anything else.

        Think Puck might have been referring to Syr doing in Byron, but moot point.

    “This other potion will increase your stamen-a.”

    I wonder if Syrn’j will let him put the ‘haft in the knothole’ on the second date…

    I further wonder Syrn’j can get ‘carpels tunnel syndrome’ from repetitive motion…

    I further further wonder if wood elves do it like trees: Standing up and in broad daylight where everyone can see.
