I already have two potential things that could cause Aerion to go postal. But we'll have to wait and see if that happens.

Ashara has (IC but not OOC) come perilously close to one of hers triggering, a grey-area one has had it's preconditions met but not yet fully triggered, and there's a 'probably not so much bad as way off the rails' ticking time-bomb in need of defusing. It will be amazing if she makes it more a than a few chronicles the 'sweet' innocent maid that she started.

greatbastards.boards.net/post/7460Ashara talked so fast she lost the ability to incite afterwards. Must.... drink.... wine.... throat too parched to make persuasive argument.

It actually isn't that bad of roll, below average but not extremely so. She's just not good at conveying herself honestly to men. That -4 disposition penalty is harsh. Also 'fast talk' doesn't actually mean talking fast For the non-native English speakers, it's an idiom from the 40's that has (in my experience) significantly fallen out of use. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fast-talk

I do find it amusing that the example given in the dictionary would likely be just as confusing to non-native speakers. 'Why would buying citrus fruit be so bad? Isn't fruit healthy?'

True, I didn't think of that. MW has entries specifically for English language learners (there's a link on the page I linked to), I should have used that one.
I think they mean 'lemon' in the colloquial for a junk car... idioms on idioms.

They definitely mean junk car when they say lemon.

Well, there could be a shady citrus seller... maybe the lemon was a painted green and called a lime ;p
