The chat engages in some rhyming:

(This was during the Fortune Festival. Spelf won a dye and a pie from the scratchcard, and I made a joke about "the dye is a pie". Lampy wanted to dye the pie... and it all went forward from there.)

Nightlightscrolls: I'm gonna go grab some water
SpaceElf1: Why?
Lampyridae: It is blue like the sky, so you should dye the pie.
Sookiejane: tired and delusional lol
Lucyredfox: Pet: ID #5503657 Lampy.....a present for you Big smile
Anitsa: 94 turn but its down and out and looted
Sookiejane: cute rikki!
Gaj: More gifts for Lampy Pet: ID #5506785 and Pet: ID #5511164
Gaj: and a third for good measure Pet: ID #5387377
Iyashi: The poor pie dyed
SpaceElf1: I defy your reply that I should dye the pie!
Iyashi: Oh my
Nightlightscrolls: I'm back and I bring tomatoes
Lampyridae: I respond to your denies with a sigh
Nightlightscrolls: Why are you all rhyming?
Nightlightscrolls: Is it Doctor Seuss Day and I missed it?
Lucyredfox: Lampy...did you see your presents?
Lampyridae: Pet: ID #5456858 Thank you Gaj, but I have decently-statted pets, I'm just not using them because they--
SpaceElf1: If it is, will you comply?
Lampyridae: If you do not, we will cry.
Anitsa: and the keeper dei
Nightlightscrolls: I'm putting this on my profile, it's good
Nightlightscrolls: *gold
Iyashi: I can fly and steal the pie so there will be no dye
Anitsa: cementing a story that is told
Iyashi: in that pie
Lampyridae: I spy a pie thief on high
Lampyridae: And now I ready a battle cry
Nightlightscrolls: What did I walk into?
Iyashi: Pies and dyes and LIES
Lampyridae: To bring down the thief of pies and dyes
Nightlightscrolls: Player: ID #138701 It's all here now!
Anitsa: and all the Whys
Squeak: sounds delicious >.>
Anitsa: I feel malicious
Nightlightscrolls: Sadly I missed the first bit of the chat
Nightlightscrolls: where I asked if the dye was a pie
Iyashi: Yes, pie dye can be quite vicious
Lampyridae: Don't you think this rhyme is a bit ambitious?
Anitsa: only if we are fishes
Iyashi: Yes.
Iyashi: Doing the dishes
Lampyridae: That seems a bit suspicious...
Lampyridae: Are you sure it is not ficticious?
