Since we have our new marching orders, and are preparing to depart relatively soon, I feel as if I should go on record admitting my one weakness.

[she makes an agitated noise.] I'm not good at blending in.

[she holds up her hands, suddenly excited.]

But! But I have learned that the one thing that sets me apart is that I'm considered to be very funny. So by using my natural gift for comedy, I will surely keep the natives off guard while we plan out our strategies.

The problem is I don't have many jokes. The one about the chicken, while hilarious, will probably lose its charm after awhile, so in the name of preserving teamwork, I ask of you, my fellow Audentes, to give me, the great and lovable Peridot, your best jokes.

Yes, yes. Tell me all the secrets to comedy.

[wait until Amethyst hears about this!!]

Then brace yourself.

[whatshimadayou]

I would tell you a chemistry joke but I know I would not get a reaction.

[ !!! omg hanzo olivia is SO proud of you!! ]

[competing]

[ so how sad is it that both my characters would be hella surprised and pleased by this... ]

[slapfight]

[wait for it. wait for it.

and after a second, cue the laughter.]

That's one of those wordplay things! [cackles] Oh my stars, that's a good one.

[whatshimadayou]

Yes. They are also known as puns.

I can write down the ones I know and give them to you, if you would like.

[who doesn't like puns?!]

[slapfight]

Yes, yes! Feferi's been teaching me about them. And Papyrus tried to keep this knowledge from me. HAH! What does he know? This is great!

[you can pretty much see her vibrating.]

[whatshimadayou]

I am surprised that Papyrus would not proudly shout his knowledge. [he's a silly skeleton, why would he keep that a secret. That seems baffling to Hanzo.]

I will keep some of them basic and easy to understand. I am aware that some of the ones I like do not exactly translate well.

Perhaps also consider coming up with some of your own. Sometimes during the spur of the moment in a conversation.

[slapfight]

[maybe a traumatic incident with puns...]

That's a good point. It would prove how multifaceted I am. Heh.

[rock puns. so many rock puns. you all have opened up pandora's box.]

[whatshimadayou]

Hmm. I would advice caution. Someone may take the jokes for granite.

[slapfight]

Please. If I'm going to do this right, I'll need to be... [snort] boulder.

[whatshimadayou]

[Hanzo does the unspeakable: he laughs quietly.]

True, but do not forget your manners. In some situations, you will need to remain pelite.

[slapfight]

[she does not understand the gift she has been given, as she just cackles away.] We should stop before we hit rock bottom.

[whatshimadayou]

True. It is possible that too many of these might aggregate someone.

[slapfight]

That's epitaxy what I was thinking.
