  • ...Funny story: It's nearly 3am here, now, and that most likely means that I'll get up really late tomorrow. While it does mean I'll miss half (or more) of a day's holiday, it does bring my metabolism to a higher level of efficiency, since I'll be home alone most of the day, and I can't be trusted to cook for myself.
    While I was looking through our VM archive, I came across just how thoroughly they got you last year. I'm surprised you fell for it, to be quite honest.
    THE REST OF THE FORUM IS UP-IN-ARMS WITH APRIL FOOLS'

    AND WE'RE JUST SITTING HERE RP'ING LIKE NOTHING'S HAPPENING.

    This strikes me as amusing.
    To quote GLaDOS the Potato:

    Okay, now he's not even trying to be subtle. ...Or, maybe he is...In which case, that's kinda sad.
    Well, I did look through our archive of VMs, and it was this time last year that TEE memes were first popularised.
    Such fun.

    ...Or 'sʊch fʊn', as a Yorkshire-folk-person would say.
    ...Actually, I think they'd be more likely to say 'give me a fʊcking chip or I'll fʊcking stab yer', but hey.
    Frankly, I'd prefer it if you just maintained the not-quite-Randy accent you've been doing so far.

    Also, if it helps: Midnight's psychokinesis is not common knowledge, even amongst his fans. He doesn't use it in his professional life, so people who don't know him personally don't know about it.
    It's an utterly hideous accent, I assure you.

    I suppose the main feature is that, if a word ends in an 'ee' kind of sound (like 'quickly' or 'Wesley', but not 'free'), they substitute the 'ee' for an 'eh' kind of noise. Imagine 'quickly' pronounced 'quickleh', with an almost tangibly pronounced 'h' at the end. Similarly, they don't have the sharp U sound (as in 'up'); they pronounce it like the double-O in 'book'. And, in words like 'bath' and 'castle', they use a short A sound ('cassle' as opposed to 'cahsle' like the rest of England). As you can imagine, it gets very aggravating very quickly.
    Well, whatever.

    You could have just asked me what a Yorkshire accent sounds like. F*ck, I've had to live in a cess-pit of Yorkshire-speakers for about half my life as it is; I know it well enough.
    I thought you said Wesley was Canadian?

    ...Well, every rose has its thorns, I guess.
