OME... TOT... CHILLI OMMELETTES

[soulping]

[There’s room for seven in this weather-worn hut, with seven chairs around a table long enough for seven people.

The center of the table is adorned with wooden jugs of water and wooden snack bowls. It’s primarily fruits and nuts, although there are a couple brimming with Unidentified Raw Meat.]

I am not a very good poem writer. . .

I do not wish to insult them. They are. . . new.

[lucciola]

I do not wish to insult them either... And I do not know anything about them.

[assimilation]

Perhaps. . this Echo will see it as a passive insult if we don't. . . mention them at all.

[lucciola]

... ah... perhaps. It could be a hit or miss...

[assimilation]

Hrm.....

Dawon....go home...because we really need to win...?

Is that "smack talk"?

[lucciola]

It is a little mean... they cannot go home, can they?

[I'm sorry I'm completely missing the point haha]

[assimilation]

I think. . . we are supposed to be mean and angry, to make a point. Though I am not good at it.

[lucciola]

I do not think I am either. But we do have to try...

Perhaps we could use part of your first... verse, and add a little more. And that "go home" saying? I suppose we also need to, ah, "boast" about ourselves...

[assimilation]

Do we have anything to boast about. . . ?

[lucciola]

. . .

[our team is kind of... well...]

I think everyone is ... nice?

[assimilation]

Alright. . .

We do not know what a hotness scale is,
so please explain it to us
before we....begin to....rap....
We do not win much...but we are all very nice,
and we do deserve this....
Dawon....go home...because we really need to win...
you have not been here long...
so you should give up, and give it. . . to us.

[ nods ]

That seems. . . appropriately mean. But not overly so.

[lucciola]

It sounds all right... Does it say somewhere how long it needs to be?

[assimilation]

I think we get extra points if we make it longer. . .should I add to it?

[lucciola]

It says we can incorporate anything we have talked about... perhaps something vague about memories? Or optimism...

[this is so hard]

[assimilation]

Mm. Let's see. . .

[ it takes her several minutes to consider this, then: ]

We are trying to be more optimistic,
because generally, we are not...
Our memories do not really inspire that. . . sort of thinking
but we will give it. . . all we have got.
Because. . . our team is a good team...
even if our dormitory smells like wine. . .
and our patron plays board games
all of the time. . .

[lucciola]

... I like that. It sounds good. We could combine both of them.

[looks thoughtful for a while]

We... could use happy memories
So let us win this game...
If you... please


... I am not sure what could rhyme with game... do we need more?

[assimilation]

We think the other team's rap is....lame...

I think that should be enough?

[lucciola]

[nods]

It sounds long enough, yes.

[assimilation]

Shall I rap for us...?

[lucciola]

Do you want to?
