It all makes sense now… I rather like it.

The second part comes to sound like a cereal ad. CRUNCH! IT'S NUTRITIOUS AND GOOD FOR YOU!
I couldn't help reading this in the voice of Ed from Ed Edd n' Eddy.
(account deleted)I really wanted to take this seriously… but 173 sounds too much like a retard here…
The irony of it sounding like "a retarded" is stunning.
But I have to agree with you on this point. I could not read the story without my mind jumping to the image of a psychotic Tarzan.
I'll give Enma a pass on that one since she's not a native English speaker. I'm also giving the story a pass on not using "to be"— at least he's saying I and not me….
Huh? What irony? Did I wrote my previous post in a way that made me sound like a retard? I apologize, I'm not really seeing it…
Enma, in the US, a retard (noun) is retarded (adjective). (It's also a politically incorrect term, but that's a different discussion.)
It's pronounced the same as retard (verb), whereas with a US accent retarded (adjective) sounds like retard dead (magic spell).
Sorry Enma, I didn't realize you were not a native English speaker
I imagined a Hulk voice, myself. 173 mad! 173 crunch!
And now I can't read it without hearing that. Thanks a lot.
Well what did you expect it to sound like? "I will assimilate your necks all into my belly" or "I'll have a spot of tea with my intestines today my good sir. I have three hours before I start discharging feces and blood and I'd like to enjoy it thank you very much.
its a sentient rock
what you expect, it to think in Shakespeare?
Alrighty, I am sober and have orange juice in me. Having re-read it, I cautiously like it. I almost dislike the idea that it gives 173 a motive, instead of it being just this mysterious killing machine. Still, it is well written and sensible. Upvoted.
I also find it amusing that weeping angel wrote a story about 173 that basically explains its ability to be identical in mechanics to that of a weeping angel. Amusing.
I still want to change that name to Gargus, like I have in chat, but as of yet, have found no means of doing this.
As for what you said, thank you.

You may only do this twice.
I like it specifically for its ambiguity and anonymity. I love the idea of it being 173, but since we only assume that and it never declares itself to be I like it all the more.
