Unfiltered Story #105189

(I am meeting a coworker for the first time, and we discover we are in the same major. We start talking about our respective novels.)

Coworker: “I have this one character, he’s an Igor type of character to the wizard, I’m thinking about naming him Boris. He’s… not very bright, and he speaks in third person. I imagine him hitting a bear over the head with a rock and being like-” [In Russian accent] “BORIS FIND FOOD. COME, BORIS COOK.”

Me: “David, in mine. Melody’s a witch, Callie’s a guard, Kai knows medecines because she’s so sickly, and David kind of… is there?”

Coworker: [Still using the accent] “DAVID COOK. DAVID SPEAK IN THIRD PERSON NOW. IS THING.”
