King Buttpipes: man what does a HAPPY rifle do
King Buttpipes: what other moods do rifles have and how do they express them and how does that get expressed by the human body the rifle is now using :V shiiiit.
Engineer: a happy rifle works :B
King Buttpipes: lol a pleased rifle just WORKS BETTER so beaty's all at attention movin neatly this reads as being Serious until you know him :V
King Buttpipes: simulpostin :B
Engineer: happy rifles are rifles that are being put to purpose; a rifle that is not being used to purpose is just not happy
Engineer: they cannot be happy unless they are working or have the promise of being worked.
King Buttpipes: yeah
Engineer: they can be not sad, but not really happy.
Engineer: if dat makes sense
King Buttpipes: Bee's happymood behaviour reads as Srs Bsns because he is bein Efficient and Gettin Shit Done and but once you get to know him you realize that no that means he's happymood, it's just that happymood and Gettin Shit Done are neither different nor separable concepts. The longer he's peopleshaped the peopler he will get and he will learn how being happy works in a larger sense, and be able to be happy about things that aren't /just/ Getting Things Done Proper (even if those things are, like, still /getting things done/, like Make The Person I'm Bonded To Laugh or something) but he still automatically expresses that as Straight-Spined Efficiency even after he figures out grinning without looking like a corpse :B
Engineer: he is so straight-laced
King Buttpipes: he's an Enfield, he can't help it :B
Engineer: he is a Good Upstanding Boy (any grandma would call him this c/c)
