@Terrana@tootplanet.space For the numbers, I'm not really sure, but Felthry guesses it might be related to the digits being quicker to scan at a glance, while the full spelling is the standard way you're supposed to do things. I can see a couple problems with that guess, but I can't think of any better one.

@Terrana@tootplanet.space There's actually a phenomenon called a legal doublet, where the standard way to refer to something in legal context is to use two synonyms, one of Germanic origin and one of Romance origin (the historical reasoning behind this, I think, is obvious). Phrases like "cease and desist", "aid and abet", "null and void", and a number of others you could find on wikipedia.

That doesn't explain the number thing, though.

@Gaypow They're a joy to work with; I highly recommend them.

@Gaypow I cropped it from the sketchpage we got from @catterfly.

@Siphonay@octodon.social Good morning, Siphonay!

Goodnight, Mastodon and all the people on it.

@korosarum Yeah, I don't think talking about your less-than-pleasant history is the best thing to do when first meeting someone. It's nice to meet you, by the way!

@korosarum The more the merrier, yes?

I'm not sure if I'm always present. There've been extended periods where Felthry (previously Xolroc) was the only one around, but I think it was more that it was suppressing me unconsciously, out of (somewhat ironically) a fear of losing me again. There's a whole history to our system that I might tell you sometime, if you're interested, but I don't want to just unload bittersweet memories on you.

@korosarum There's only two of us, so it's not that hard for us to have a consensus. We typically make decisions from just the person who's fronting at the moment, and there hasn't been a problem with that yet. I'd probably consult Felthry, and I would like to think the other way around as well, for any major decisions, but none have come up yet.

@korosarum We're probably some sort of median system too; I'm not too sure.

One of the things that I'm worried about is one particular person we think might be in that discord, who Felthry has a complicated history with and I don't think I'd be comfortable around because of that.
