So, dictionaries keep finding their way into my hands, which I took as a sign. But look at what I've found:

EAMES
Pronunciation (US): i:mz
• EAMES (noun)
1. United States designer noted for an innovative series of chairs (1907-1978)
Familiarity information: EAMES used as a noun is very rare.
Instance hypernyms:
decorator; designer; house decorator; interior decorator; interior designer; room decorator (a person who specializes in designing architectural interiors and their furnishings)

Legitimate entry in a dictionary, and all! However, I want to submit a different meaning, considering my vast, thorough research into the matter:

EAMES [i:mz]
adj. Eamesier, Eamesiest

1. Said of a surly, yet (relatively) stylish, rake with a tendency to get in the good graces of anyone despite all instincts warning towards the contrary. 2. A precarious mix of cynicism, imagination and smarminess. 3. Said of a person with a disposition towards changing their mood from lots of fun to the world is ending and everything is a trap in under two comments.

I propose we push this forward as a City-wide accepted definition. All in favour, say-or-type aye.

[ooc; That first definition is real, I shit you not. (He had it coming.)]

That definition makes me sound like a sixteen year old girl. Or, potentially, manic depressive.

[brobeforehos]

Are you asking me to edit, because I will.

Why isn't there anything about my self sacrificial behavior to save you from sandworms?

[brobeforehos]

Because then I'd have to add a subentry about how it was Charlie who brought most of the firepower.

And also, my pan and I had it covered, Eames.

Charles may be a walking lighter, but my gun was very large.

[ :c ]

Covered insofar as providing for the camp afterward, yes.

[synanthrope]

You forgot to mention his tendency towards kebabs.

[signatures]

Don't enable her.

[brobeforehos]

I enable myself, ta.

[signatures]

You wouldn't know of my propensity for kebabs if it weren't for Saya dropping intel.

[brobeforehos]

I might thank her.

Do you want a kebab?

[synanthrope]

Why not?

You should come visit me more, Mr. Eames, and disabuse me of these notions.

[signatures]

My side project may not have enough gusto to power itself, so I might have to come back.

If you'll still have me, anyway.

And because she's made up a definition for me, that's why.

[synanthrope]

Would it make you feel better to make up a definition for me?

You're welcome back, of course. I miss you.

[Well. As much as she can miss anyone]

[brobeforehos]

Ah, yes. But the question that brings up is would all the Eames people tend towards kebabs? Or just the Eamesiest?

[synanthrope]

I leave that up to the definer.

[brobeforehos]

I think Eames is a state of mind, so truly culinary tastes should factor very little into it. But, if we aim for authenticity...






What else can you add?

[synanthrope]

You know he worked for me for a long time, don't you?

[withloadedguns]

You mean the first definition or the second?

[brobeforehos]

The second.

[withloadedguns]

And here I was, hoping for the first one.

[He wants to refer to Eames as a chair. Because...reasons.]

[brobeforehos]

If he reminds you of things you sit on, that's on you.

[Okay, he's still half-convinced that he should be able to reach through these viewing screens and get to the other side. But that tiny superstition aside, he has been instructed in how these machines work and he shows his face with a hazy smile.]

My, this is quite a complicated expression. And yet it is encapsulated only in one utterance.

video; you bet your sweet patootie!!

[brobeforehos]

The brevity of language can be a beautiful thing.

video; ~~~~~~<3

[huichen]

Indeed. We have a word... 光河 [A few syllables long in his bullshit fantasy land accent.] "The gleaming of last light on a river's surface at dusk; the flow of a river in the darkness."

[Beautiful indeed, Mr. High Master.]

Ah, but I've become distracted now. I believe I was meant to cast a vote..

video; :3

[brobeforehos]

[Holy mother of weird words but - oho! New knowledge, of other languages. She thinks, for a second, that Alan would probably like to hear of this.]

Wait - it's a good distraction. What could you possibly use that word for?
