#WordWeavers Apr. 8 – Do any of your characters tell jokes? If so let them tell us a joke, please.

Joking seems to be the preferred mode of courtship for Jozi, the butch servant from my upcoming short Between One Word and the Next. Here's what she might have said to her girlfriend Dandi if she knew the King was working on the creation of a Korean writing system (which would evolve into Hangul):

Jozi: What's the use of reading and writing for the likes of us, eh? Though if I did learn, I'd send you letters for your right pleasure, lil lady. (Waggles eyebrows)
Dandi: And get us both beaten within an inch of our lives by palace guards for how filthy they be?
Jozi: Right you are.
Dandi: Ooh, and now you GOT to learn it. I want me letters dirty enough to get half kilt over!

Hmmm so I guess they're more of a joking duo, and also kids could you lighten up a little 😬

She was born of foam and sand, of waves crashing by the shore. The only mortal child of two sea gods, her family’s divinity constantly loomed over her, a storm in calm waters. Her sisters were ageless immortals, but vowed to use their endless years to protect the weakest of the daughters, the unruly youngest.

‘Oh, it’s Pete now is it? You put a lot of faith in his taste.’
‘I think he has OK taste.’ She takes a sip of wine and places the glass on the coffee table.
‘What about that jacket and tie the other night? I saw the reel you posted. You were cringing.’

We were introduced at a mutual friend’s birthday party in mid-February, a cramped affair in a student flat adorned with balloons overflowing into a clinical blue corridor.
