[Ace is on a mission, absolutely set on finding an answer without harassing Marco about this. Twitterpated isn't a particularly common term, and he doesn't get it at all, it's not something he ever remembers hearing before this week. And it's eating at him, he's frustrated not knowing. He's well aware of his lack of formal education, and a lot of words are lost on him, but he hates feeling like he's stupid because of it.] Okay, so someone help me out here. I tried searching, asking around, and I didn't get any results.

What the hell does twitter painted mean? I guess it has something to do with spring? [Ace sighs.] Look, I couldn't find anything about what birds and paint have to do with anything, so if you? Let me know.

Twitterpated.

It means everyone is dopey and lovey dovey in Spring. It's worse for birds. And cutesy animals. And anyone sensitive to others' emotions or the atmosphere. Or showoffs. Especially showoffs.

Are you being all twitterpated? Did someone call you that?

[guitar_hero]

I know I am.

[bigbadrose]

[SUPER HAPPY BLUSHES DESU!!!!]

[This is what she means by showoffs, btw.]

I might be too. A lot. For you.

[guitar_hero]

[he claps a hand over one of his hearts and does a happy little spin]

Warn me before you're going to say something like that.

[burnt_offering]

[Oh, wait, this makes sense. And it was an easier answer than he though, although the word itself is a bit strange.] So why does spring do that to people? Animals I get but... Still! It's just another season.

No one called me that. [They didn't, but he's also not denying that he's being 'all twitterpated'.]

[bigbadrose]

There's a debate some people are more in tune with biological rhythms of planet's turning. Humans have a year-long mating season, but even people from planets' with way different sun cycles can get all emotionally gooey from special triggers. And the more people around who are like that, it can be really infectious for others.

[burnt_offering]

So it's like a dumb disease? And people can get caught up in it? [It does not sound appealing particularly, but it might explain why Marco is being so weird about things.]

[guitar_hero]

It means love. It means passion. Joy. Your heart around your significant other sounds, to borrow a phrase, similar to 'doki doki'.

And it sounds [he brings out his guitar] A little like this.

[burnt_offering]

So it's just a feeling of love? That was pretty simple. I thought it had something weird to do with birds.

[Oh, that's beautiful music. Ace doesn't say a word until he stops playing.] It does sound kinda like how love feels.

[guitar_hero]

Doesn't it? It's not mine. I am just the instrument for it. [he starts to play it again but softer] It does have to do with birds too. Birds sing for their mates in the spring. When the world is young and new. A time for love and, well, feathering the nest. [he bounces his eyebrows]

Why, haven’t you heard? Birds make excellent painters! Second only to cards.

[Video]

[burnt_offering]

Is that so? Never would have guessed. [Wait, what?] How the hell does a card paint?

[riddlemehiss]

Anycard can paint with the right paint [and a whole lot of panic], what an odd thing to ask! Though I haven’t found any Cards in Genessia, maybe you ought to spend more time watching birds. [You know, because that’s totally something humans do.]

ICly late after watching most of the responses [video]

[fierybluebird]

It's when young birds start to leave the nest, and go out and paint the town.

[video]

[burnt_offering]

I kinda got the answer already. Guess it's a complicated word for something simple. [Spring is all about sex and bird innuendos appearantly.]

[video]

[fierybluebird]

[Yes. Yes it is.]

Feeling twitterpated are you?

[cool_skeleton]

AHAH, I THINK YOU MEAN "TWITTER-PATED"!! A CLASSIC MISTAKE!

WELL, IT MEANS, UH...

WHEN A BIRD REALLY WANTS TO SING
BUT CAN'T.

[He's like eighty percent sure.]

[Video]

[burnt_offering]

[He's gotten the answer at this point but Papyrus is hilarious and worth playing around with.] So what could keep a bird from singin'? You're in the know, so educate me.

Re: [Video]

[cool_skeleton]

OH WELL, UM...

[Darn, dogs are more his forte. Even the annoying ones.]

IF IT HAS A FEATHERBALL.

[Like a cat's furball, but...ya know.]

OH!! OR IF IT'S TIRED OUT FROM CARRYING SOMEONE TOO HEAVY ACROSS THE GAP.

[pkmn_hero]

[The kid is literally hanging off a tree on the island, trying to figure out what Ace means.]

Maybe Marco would know?

[Since he is a bird and all!]

[Video]

[burnt_offering]

[Okay, this is the kinda stuff that childhood should include. Looks like fun to Ace.]

Yeah, he would. And does. But I didn't want to go to him for help.

Re: [Video]

[pkmn_hero]

Huh? Why not?

[Marco is a little weird but he knows what he's talking about.]

[chaosimpact]

[Have a bored Etna trying to mess with people.]

It's this form of art where you take a bird, dunk it in paint, and chuck it at a canvas precisely 30 yards away, as hard as you can. Flonne is actually really good at it.

[burnt_offering]

[At this point, Ace has gotten more than one answer. But this is fun, he loves it when people act like little shits and are sarcastic and troublesome for the hell of it.] That so? Gotta say, you're gonna ruffle a few feathers with that kinda art.

[chaosimpact]

I mean, that's the point~! Nothing quite like twitter painting a senator that keeps voting down getting new stuff in the shops.
