@chaosprime@StevenBrust@stevenhalter whereas I merely STRONGLY HOPE for a ballista -
@jenphalian@chaosprime@stevenhalter There is zero chance of that. And, alas, it is too late now for me to rename the House. -
@StevenBrust@chaosprime@stevenhalter So you're not going to start calling it House Velbuchet? -
@jenphalian@chaosprime@stevenhalter Actually, maybe I'll write a different book now, and just not have to deal with it. -
@StevenBrust@chaosprime@stevenhalter *is very chastised* -
@jenphalian@chaosprime@stevenhalter My own fault. I'm the one who got sloppy picking out names 30 years ago. -
@StevenBrust@jenphalian@stevenhalter it's a perfectly cromulent name! tbh it's kind of unreasonable how typical constructed names are… -
@StevenBrust@jenphalian@stevenhalter …usually never close approximations of or identical to modern English words. it'd happen. - 2 more replies

@chaosprime@jenphalian@StevenBrust@stevenhalter Isn't a ballista the person who serves you klava? -
@MrPersimmon@chaosprime@jenphalian@StevenBrust A Vallista ballista serves the best klava. -
@stevenhalter@chaosprime@jenphalian@StevenBrust I used to know a Vallista ballista named Callista. -
@MrPersimmon@chaosprime@jenphalian@StevenBrust She called herself Cal but everyone knew her as Nancy.
