GASP. COULD IT BE?

sonoci's quest for poutine: Part 1

It is!

Once upon a time, in a distant land filled with moose and inferior superior currency, a young girl thrived. Her room was an absolute mess, and so was the rest of her house was a bit messy but not quite as much, so the girl could find nothing to eat.

*casually fixes things* :x

"I'm hungry."
And with those words, a legend was born.

Wow, we have a lot of legends then if it's as simple as me being hungry :xx

The girl traveled far and wide, from continent to continent, when suddenly she was stopped by a wandering Phoenix: "Uh, can't you just go to the store?"
The girl's eyes burned red with anger, the Phoenix was struck down where she stood with the fury of 1000 gods.

Nuuuuuu D: Phoenixxxxx ;3; the irony is that if I hadn't traveled, I could have just ordered some from a restaurant :x

Her travels took her to some random place in England, where she came across a young Pokemon fan with a mesmerizing voice, the lovely young lady turned to her hand said... "'ello govna' care for a spot o' tea?"
sonoci snickered and went over to the girl, when suddenly, a tea cup smashed her in the face
"Ouch!"
The girl was about to hit her again. "no'body makes fun of me accent...govna'!"
"I wasn't! I think it's actually quite lovely"
"Really?"
"Of course! Also, I'm on a worldwide quest for poutine, would you like to come along? I can't explain it...but I feel like...we're destined to be together."
"Well when you put it that way, I'll join ya!"

And with that, she got a new partner! But she felt like...one was missing.

That was the Parkus side messing things up, I swear D: But yaaaay, manga joined the team! \o/ btw, I thought that youtube link was going to be to a Daily Lives of Highschool Boys clip. Y'know, the one where the guy makes the overly long jingle? :x sorta disappointed it wasn't that *tsk tsk*

[Stopwatch]

You've not yet realised...? Oh wow, I feel so sorry for Parkur . But still, I'm not planning on stopping her .

EDIT: And... does the 'English' girl have a Cockney accent or something? o_O

[me=Akonyl]doesn't get why stop just blankquoted herself  :-X[/me]

edit: ah, looking at the minor change, guess she meant to edit instead :V

[mangaluva]

At first I thought that Stop was in the story, but Parkur said it was me... hence the teeth-breaking. And maybe a couple of fingers.

Only time stamp I can think you mean is my edit just now to ask about the accent the 'English' girl was talking in

*attempts to muster up some sympathy for you*
*fails*

So it's totally okay to make jokes about how stupid Texans are, but giving someone from Scotland an English accent? HOW TERRIBLE. But then again, I guess I should be used to you Europeans making "lol look at those dumb Americans" jokes.

PART 2 MIGHT JUST BE COMING TONIGHT!

THE RISE OF THE PHOENIX?!?!

So it's totally okay to make jokes about how stupid Texans are, but giving someone from Scotland an English accent? HOW TERRIBLE. But then again, I guess I should be used to you Europeans making "lol look at those dumb Americans" jokes.

I don't see how it's that type of joke (as in, dumb American ones *generally prefers to ignore stereotypes and figure out people separately*) when Parkur has been told several times already that England and Scotland are different places. If he can't remember that, then I can sorta get Manga's reaction. It's not like she's going to literally do what she's saying after all, just reminding Parkur to actually pay attention next time.
Besides, it's not just an accent, it's a nationality. Think of it like people saying Canadians are American...
Plus... I have no idea how Texan jokes are related to this? Have me or Manga ever said they were acceptable?

[PT]

Manga made a joke about Texans the other day, ftr. Hence my reaction.

And there are better ways to remind someone than threatening to break their teeth. Oh and hey, I shouldn't have to remind people that making stereotypical jokes about how dumb a group of people are because they live somewhere isn't right.

[Stopwatch]

I don't think Manga meant in any way to imply anything about 'dumb Americans' and fairly sure the 'breaking teeth'... isn't going to happen . Over the internet, that sorta thing shouldn't be taken as seriously as in rl, though the intent counts...
I can't really say anything about the Texans thing though . Maybe it has a context that explains it, but I don't know .

[PT]

Well, obviously the breaking teeth thing isn't actually going to happen. Doesn't mean it's any less hypocritical of manga to get all high-strung over Parkur basically saying "all Europeans must be British" or whatever after she herself made an "dumb people must be Texans" joke herself. Just sayin. In fact, Parkur's thing was much less of an offense, imo. At least he's not mocking her intelligence.

Painting a group of people with one big brush works both ways, you know.
