[Darin clears his throat because forget typing all of this out.]

Okay guys, I need you all to settle a bit of an argument Zelda and I are having.

See, we were out shopping for furniture for our new place and she tells me I need a bed. I say "you're right, I do! I know just the type!" So I go and I show her the hammocks because back home, I slept in a hammock. So she says [Darin clears his throat and proceeds to do his best Zelda voice] "Don't be preposterous, a hammock is not a proper bed."

Which is wrong. Because a hammock is totally a bed. Lots of things can be beds. So, to prove my point, I made this chart.



As you can see by this chart that I spent entirely too much time on, the parameters that dictate an objects "bedability" are thus. I think it's a pretty open and shut case.

Anyway, I think this explains why I should be allowed to get a hammock in my room. You guys are on my side on this, right?

[Just...you know. Ignore how he casually dropped that they're living together because he's brain dead.]

Darin, my boy, I am going to give you some advice first: listen to the lady.

[This is very amusing, though.]

But you say this is your own room?

[So cohabitation but seperate....for now. How even more intriguing.]

If so, then you have every right to have your own hammock.

[headhunt]

yeah yeah yeah
this is good advice

this guy knows what he's talking about

listen to the lady

[ramuhs]

Really, as much as I want to be on Darin's side, there is only one true answer.

[headhunt]

right
you gotta think about the long term

[ramuhs]

Especially when it's quite clear their "separate arrangements" won't last for long.

[headhunt]

right
who do these two think they're kidding?

they're gonna push those two beds together in less than a week

[ramuhs]

Honestly, I would suggest for the lady to go ahead and get a larger bed, at least a queen. Even if they don't move into one bedroom immediately, she'll at least enjoy the extra space and comfort.

[headhunt]

( nodding at her shellphone because mmhmm mmhmm. )

she's an elf too
and if i know anything about romancing elves it's gotta be done in big beds
with lots of pillows
and fancy drapery

[ramuhs]

I've yet to actually meet this mysterious lady. An elf you say?

[yeah totally ignoring you darin]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

She has a large bed because I bought her one months ago and can we not talk about me like Im not right here? Reading this? In my own post?

[ramuhs]

But that just makes it more entertaining.

[headhunt]

right?
don't ask the audience if you don't want us to answer

[ramuhs]

He's really not doing himself any favors, that's for certain.

[JUST SIPPING HIS COFFEE READING THEIR EXCHANGE DOWN THERE.]

[headhunt]

you bought her a big bed?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Yeah with lots of pillows and a comforter since I wrecked her first one

[Context? Nah, not needed.]

[headhunt]

YOU WRECKED IT?

( huh. good for zelda. get it, girl. )

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Yeah, this is my own room! And she has her own room and her own bed!

Besides, what's not 'proper' about a hammock, huh?

[ramuhs]

I'm going to have to side with the lass on that argument, unfortunately. Hammocks are comfortable, but even I can't say it's a "proper" bed, meaning what most would think normal or expected.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Darin SIGHS DRAMATICALLY]

I'm just saying that I like hammocks just fine. It'd be weird to be in a nice bed.

[ramuhs]

And that's all within your rights to have one.

Now I am going to assume you've already been bombarded with questions and suggestions about whether the lady would stay in your room, so I won't torment you further with that for now.

[For now.]

Instead I'll cut right to a solution that would satisfy both your needs, and wouldn't be bad for you to have should the need raise—

Have both.

A hammock you can put anywhere so long as you have something to tie the ends to. So, just have a pull out bed or one that you can swing up against the wall and pull down if you ever need it. When not used as a bed, you can have drawers in the frame to use as extra storage.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

THEY MAKE TRANSFORMING BEDS?!

[Cid, you have lots of fine points and Darin will get to those in a moment.]

[ramuhs]

[He knew he'd latch onto it.]

I've only seen a handful around, but I could build you one for a lot less.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Screw getting one for the house, I think I need one for the forge with the amount of time I've passed out there!

[ramuhs]

[An amused chuckle.]

That can also be arranged. I foresee the one in the house wouldn't see much use, anyway.

[Smirk.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

OKAY LOOK YOU MADE YOUR DAMN POINT, CID!!

I'll...I'll look into a proper bed.
