"Cool!"
"Awesome!"
"Cool. I'm up for that."
"Sounds fun!"
These are not things I want to say in-character in my medieval fantasy roleplaying gaming. Unfortunately, I find myself doing so, as such sentiments are non-removable aspects of my communication. So I need a way to express such sentiments that doesn't sound like this:
"Quite interesting!"
"Indubitably is that exceedingly oustanding!"
"That is agreeable. I shall be pleased to accompany you, my good man."
"Yes, that could be an exciting diversion!"
Or this:
"Excellent!"
"Most Triumpant!"
"Indeed. Let us journey forthwith."
"That sounds unrivaled!"
I don't want to sound like a pseudo-Victorian aristocrat or Bill & Ted. I'm looking for the sort of language any average person could use. In particular, the word "cool" is my biggest hurdle. There just isn't anything I can think of that has quite the right breadth, feel, and connotations. But I do need alternatives for other terminologies and expressions also.
I may have to make up words or gather archaic synonmyms together and pick some, but I thought I'd first check and see how others have dealt with this sort of problem.
It doesn't matter how old the terms are, as long as they are old enough to not be in common use anymore, and don't sound like something only the upper class would use.
Thanks for any help!
