Discovery of the week: You're not allowed to sign for packages in blood. Even if it's the only thing you have on hand.

_Ha Ha ^Ha.

Fucking pansy-asses. Did they at least give you a pen or some shit?

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

He just threw the package at me. _{Almost damaged my breakables.}

Fragile means nothing to these people.

[blackdestroyer.insanejournal.com]

Fuckers. Did you at least bleed on the bitch?

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

It was tempting. But not quite.

(Taking care of the package came first, you see.)

[blackdestroyer.insanejournal.com]

Eh. Too bad.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Hmm, well, I can understand that. Blood writing is messy, usually illegible, non-permanent, not to mention the whole biohazard aspect of it.

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

Funny, blood-writing was always considered binding to my kind.

Good enough for soul-binding pacts with infernal spirits,

but not for the UPS guy.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Well, yes, but it doesn't work so well for writing out alphabets on scraps of wood, for instance.

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

I suppose not. Unless you carved it in first.

Is that something you did, then?

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, afraid so. The very first oghams were written in blood, for the reasons you cited earlier: blood has power. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold up well to elements. I used ink and carvings for the next batch.

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

Cool story, bro.

Where'd you come up with the idea?

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

You'd be amazed how hard oral tradition can be to keep constant, especially under the influence of heavy drinking. So, I thought it would be great if there was a systemized way to standardize it all. So, I took some trees, created symbols that could be put together to reflect the different sounds--I wanted a syllabary at first, but then decided an alphabet would be simpler.

Gotta like a guy that respects the classics. Sadly few appreciate it these days.

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

It was worth a shot. _{Just doing our part to brighten someone's day, really.}

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

On hand. Good one.

[multitudes.insanejournal.com]

Thank you. ^{Glad you caught it.}

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

Great minds and all that.
