In Honour of Frog...
« on: October 06, 2009, 02:00:15 pm »

Onward, ye rouges of all hues and tints!

This be a post related to times of lore long lost.  Prithee be not incensed by the manner which mine word be spoken.  'Tis but the common means of speech crafted by the denizens of all shires and villages.

'Tis also a challenge to those who dare.  From here on, be this the only manner of tongue ye speak through the thread.  Ye can relate current or past affairs which have fancied thy mind, yet... Ye cannot stray from the flock and leap beyond to the present when spinning such yarns.

Ye might ask, what motive doth I carry for such a venture?  I reply that 'tis but a simple jest.  The slightest zephyr hath more direction than this post be. 

The gauntlet awaits.  What fool-hardy lads and lasses shall approach?

Albeit fragments and bits be spoken here, whole conversations can form up as well.

Be not of fear for the waters ahead.  Wade in, youthful sprites!

Mine friend, dear GenesisOne, I accept your challenge with great honour and dignity. Why not partake in such a masterful game such as this? Thine speech is quite well, but I have spoketh thine tougne for many a year now, despite thy social awkwardness, and I shan't foul the ancient art of speaking in such a manner.

But my fellows I must asketh a question of thee...

Ye might ask, what motive doth I carry for such a venture?  I reply that 'tis but a simple jest.  The slightest zephyr hath more direction than this post be. 

Oh my! I do beg your pardon, mine eyes seem to have wandered beyond this particular part of dialect. Dear me, I feel foolish.

Very well, carry on!

'Tis true that mortals do
relive their most profound memories
before death claimeth them.

Yet those memories most often are
sad ones.

As from earlier times doth I retract several a word I have spoken.

Aft much searching of the soul, I do declare that mine purpose for this thread be to test the mastery of the dialect of Glenn, and not just to jest athwart. I prithee now that each entering rouge and bard now knoweth the design of mine acts.

As thou were, Onslaught.

Thine hine doth shine, could'st be mine?
Sayeth thy wanderer whom wonders just fine.
Be hither, or thither, thy wanderer doth grow fonder
of yonder, of yonder home shrine.





Does thou protest mine accuracy?

I protest not, albeit methinks thou shouldst venture to sharpen your archaic grammar.

http://dan.tobias.name/frivolity/archaic-grammar.html

OOC:
"Thine" actually refers to the person you're adressing. (2nd person possessive)
"Sayest" instead of "Sayeth"
Did you mean "wanders" instead of "wonders"?
Don't confuse "Thy" with "Thou" <-- (2nd person subjective)

Other than that, you got some good words in.
Hine = Servant
Hither and Thither = Here and there

IC:
A most splendid attempt, wayfaring bard.  A tad amiss in deliverance, but none combined to be of shame about. I dost look on to your next effort.

Doth I sense a rebuke of mine stance of thine poetry?

If so, then a verbal jousting it shall be!

If not, then be it as it were, bard.

I concur, a verbal jousting is in order, methinks!

O, wretched Squeenix, how the years do linger! Our patience wearies and our vision dims. Verily, get us a fucking sequel already!

Prithee good sir, do hold thine tongue, 'else the foul and wretched demon Squeenix shall his righteous fury called "Cease and Desist" upon us rain!

We must appease this ogre to gain our long awaited sequel. So gather up thine tarin and make an offering to this odious beast!

It probably doth not help that I insult it so, however, I am past the point of this readily wardship. So smiteth me Great Lord Wada, if thou findest mine word too blasphemous!

EDIT: OOC: Just saw Boo's post. Double irony here.
