(M): why are there no snacks?
(M): WHY!
(M): NO SNACKS!
(K): they were eaten
(M): well it's a travesty.
(K): or possibly carried away by mutant ants
(M): i will step on the whole.
(M): of them.
(K): but they can type!
clarentine: LOL
(K): you could train them to take dictation
clarentine: ::imagines ants climbing into and out of an ink pad::
(K): hee
clarentine: ::ants diving off a pencil eraser onto the paper::
clarentine: ::ants leaving little ink marks all over the place, like tiny freckles::
(K): *g*
clarentine: Oh, hey, you could do pointillist drawings with ink ants.
clarentine: That would be fun.
(J): heee
clarentine: But perhaps not for the ants.
clarentine: Ah! The Fred Flinstone version of the copy machine - ink ants.
(K): if you gave them food for drawings
clarentine: How hard can that be, if you can farm them?
(K): ::scatters fine dusting of glucose powder::
(T): in a pattern!
(T): and then release the inked up ants!
clarentine: I could use some to ink my drawings for me.
(K): ::grins::
clarentine: It'd save me getting ink all over myself.
(K): clearly the age of the ant is at hand
(K): forget nanites... the future is ant-ite!
clarentine: *g*
clarentine: Cheap to maintain, easily transportable.
(K): self-replicating
clarentine: That, too.
clarentine: If you want thicker lines, just use the bigger ants.
(J): *eyes Chris and Kat*
(K): they come in varying sizes
(K): ::eyes Jaime::
clarentine: ::tosses ants at Jaime::
(J): *pulls out the raid*
clarentine: eeep!
(K): eeeeeeeeeeeeee
clarentine: ::rescues ants::

Fun, innit, this being a writer thing? *g*
