Does anything rhyme with silver? [somebody's finally trying his hand at writing poetry]

Also if anybody's seen the SS Huntress's welding torch, please let me know! It is a wreck in here, honestly. ...wait, maybe we don't have a welding torch.



[ACTION]

[Sorey can be found half-buried in the guts of engineering, muttering words to himself as he tries to fit them into his rhyming scheme. Occasionally he'll crawl back out of the maintenance panel to write something in a grease-smudged notebook that contains...truly dire but very enthusiastic poetry.]

Clay, epic poetry is hard.

[geonomy]

I know! I was the worst at poetry in my English class!

[He just kinda talked about stars and shit so that helped, but still! WHAT RHYMES WITH JUPITER???]

Maybe you could go with something like it? Like, um... something to do with stars?

[monolike]

[bro]

I knew you'd suggest that.

[geonomy]

[He gives a sheepish little laugh, and then - okay! Focus on the poetry!]

Come on, I'm being serious! Like, um... What's the line you're trying to do?

voice;

[monolike]

Skin soft as silk, pale as snow
Awash, alight with heaven's glow
Hair spun from the finest silver...

But I'm having a hard time rhyming that. Maybe I should just move on ahead to later verses and come back to this one...

[geonomy]

[Damn that's purple as hell and Clay kind of cringes at it, so good thing this is voiced. But he's a bro, so let's see...]

Hair spun from the light of the moon...

Uh...

It really makes me... swoon?

voice;

[monolike]

[what]

Why would it make me swoon?

voice;

[geonomy]

[shut up]

I don't know, I mean, with the silk skin and heaven's glow and stuff, I thought -

Wait, hold on, I got this.

Hair spun from the light of the moon
Like that of a summer night in June.

...

Wait, does that month exist in your world?

voice;

[monolike]

Oh Clay. [man who cares if it does or doesn't] Clay, that's beautiful. Oh man. You must totally be in love to be able to write lines like that. I can sense the passion in your words.

voice;

[geonomy]

I - What? No, get out of here.

[ARE U TROLLIN ME]

voice;

[monolike]

Really, I can! I mean, it's already really obvious that you have a zest for life and all its mysteries, but that's passion right there. You'd be a great romantic poet, I'm positive.

I don't know if stuff about swooning would fit into what I'm going for [are you serious you lil shit] but I like that summer night in June line, that's really vivid. I like it.

Re: voice;

[geonomy]

[are you serious you lil shit

but also:]

Ha, no. No. I have a passion for space, not poetry. Definitely not romantic poetry.

You, on the other hand, are really great at it!

voice;

[monolike]

Do you think it's necessary to have a passion for poetry to write it? I mean, it's all about putting your feelings to words, right? You could write romantic poetry about space, I bet it'd sound awesome.
