          You’re as rare a breed as myself sir, if we ever find a Mississippi equivalent we’ll really be in business! Egalitarianism is worth fighting for

            With our good ol boy accents no one will be able to say no to us, and we’ll use our powers only for good.

                    No, but I’ve read more than enough history and fantasy alike to know the third Polite Southern Gentleman will have rizz for days but something DARK and TRAGIC hiding behind his eyes!

                Oh I know it. I’ve got the heavy drawl and I’ve taken it around the world with me. Depending on who I’m talking to I can crank it up and get by with some shit. I’ve also got that Texas preacher cadence when I need it. You know the one, you get really excited about something then drop it down to almost a whisper while smiling. It makes people lean in and pay attention. Think Kenneth Copeland but as an actual human instead of a devil in a skin suit and without religion at all.

                It’s definitely a trick for the snake oil salesman but I’ve seen it so much that I naturally fall into it if I’m presenting. And it fucking works with certain kinds of people.

                  I know exactly what you’re talking about, I absolutely crank it and pull it back in specific scenarios as called for, my lilt is more on the Andy Griffith/Matlock side of thing’s but it’s wild how much more seriously folks take you when you really put it on

                    I really want to hear a conversation between you two as I can only imagine what it sounds like.
