I need a favor.


[ public: ]
$100 to whoever can completely define the word "what" in three sentences or less without bending grammatical rules for longer sentences.

Vaguely related to that, what's your favorite word? It doesn't matter what language it's in or why you like it. I'm interested in hearing about it if you have one.

Oh, well, not exactly. I have a few ideas I'd been kicking around before, and reams of notes I've been collecting the past months that I haven't yet been given the opportunity to practice.

So I have options, I just haven't chosen one yet.

[bests]

Chosen one or chosen which one you're going to do first?

[professorlionface]

What can I say? You know me too well.

[bests]

[ she just smiles at that. of course she knows him well. ]

It's good to see you so excited about things.

[professorlionface]

Well, why not? I have $100 and a world of possibilities before me!

[bests]

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

[professorlionface]

I can't go spoiling the surprise just yet, I'm afraid you'll just have to deal with the anticipation for now.

[bests]

What, no sneak previews when it's almost done?

[professorlionface]

I'll take that under consideration, especially for an investor like you, but I'll need to get started before I can be almost finished!

[bests]

Then you best get to decision making.

[professorlionface]

This is why I generally prefer my research to be done independently! No deadlines, no one breathing down your neck...

Once a donation's been made, you feel as if you owe it to the person!

[bests]

You know, you don't have to take the money.

[professorlionface]

I'm just giving you a hard time, really. I could probably use some oversight every now and then, even if it's entirely optional.

[bests]

You sure you want to do that? I've been told I can be kind of bossy sometimes.

[professorlionface]

I like to think it's a point of endearment.

[bests]

Aw, how sweet.

[professorlionface]

Aren't I just?

[bests]

I'm not going to go easy on you because you're sweet.

[professorlionface]

You say that now, but we'll just have to see once it gets underway!
