So how does it feel to have legs again Mr. Merman?

	>> In my world, most fairy tales aren't just stories. I don't think any are, actually. >> Babies and lights... yeah, I heard they go hand in hand. >> It's nice. Home. I've never thought much of it as a tourist attraction, but I'm sure there's interesting stuff to do there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	>> Really? That's....that's kind of interesting. >> That they do, he loves all the colors. Sometimes it helps him get to sleep, so we'll take a nightly stroll sometimes. >> Yeah that's how I felt about LA. All this stuff to do but the tourists were just all crazy!

	>> And kind of shocking when you find out that everything you thought was fake turns out to be true. >> Just don't go out of the castle walls too late. I'm not sure what crime is like in NC, but I know that the rule of thumb is that the crazies come out after dark. >> Isn't that the point of being a tourist? To let loose and go a little nuts?

>> I guess so, so what kinds of things or fairytales?
>> Oh well, we don't always go to New Creandi at night, sometimes the lights of the city can be seen from the castle grounds. I know all too well about crazy people, almost got killed by one.
>> Yeah that is true. I mean when I go someplace new I always go a little wild and crazy. So I get it. Its just weird when you live in the area.

>> Like... I've met the species that create the Big Bad Wolf motif. You know, from Little Red Riding Hood and Three Little Pigs. I've also met the pig species. The species that is responsible for most if not all of the evil witches in stories...
>> I've even met a species that descends from dragons. That's who I thought you were.
>> Was that here?
>> Well, when I get back and I somehow manage to remember any of this, I'll try not to act too crazy if I ever get to LA.

>> Really? The three little pigs? Oh a descendant from dragons? That's pretty cool, well, probably not for you.
>> So tell me, do these fairytale creatures look like their fairytale selves? Like three little pigs look like pigs and such?
>> No, it was back home. A crazed killer who was very good at what he did. Held me hostage and a knife to my throat to get to my dad.
>> I hope that I can get back to LA soon. But I'm not so sure that's going to be possible quite yet.

>> Yeah. I mean, sometimes it can just be really cool. Other times... it just makes my life and my job very difficult.
>> A little bit. They're usually like human-animal hybrids. So, the pig looked like... a human-pig.
>> Oh. That's awful. Well, if you ever get into any trouble here, let me know. I plan on sending in my application to the local PD soon.
>> Yeah, and it doesn't sound like we have much control of the situation either.

>> I bet it does. But its got to make your job a little bit more interesting.
>> Now that would be really cool to see.
>> Oh I will, luckily my dad got him to drop the knife and everything. He was really crazy. I'm sure you'll get the job. So anyone you arrest, I'm sure I'll be helping with the paperwork for their lawyers.
>> No we don't, believe me. People have tried.

>> Well, it's not like I started out as an accountant. Being a detective isn't usually boring unless you count the paperwork. But... it does bring a certain amount of humor to the job sometimes.
>> It's probably everything you'd imagine it would be.
>> I'm glad to hear it. More about you being safe than what you do. So, are you working on becoming a defense attorney or a prosecutor?
>> Yeah, might as well roll with the punches.

>> I can only imagine. If I wasn't studying to become a lawyer, a detective would be my second choice. Getting to catch people, what a thrill.
>> I don't know. I have a pretty impressive imagination. Even with fairytales. My son loves the story about the gingerbread man, I have no idea why though.
>> Exactly. I'm working on becoming a defense attorney like my dad.
>> I like the way you think.

>> It's not always a happy ending on the job, unfortunately... But the rewarding days, that's why I do it.
>> Never met a gingerbread man, as far as I know. But I did meet one of the descendents of Rumpelstiltskin? At least, I think I did. I never actually asked.
>> Well, just don't blame me if we end up on opposite ends of a case. I have plenty of defense attorneys back home who think its my personal mission to make their jobs hard.
>> Thanks.

>> I think that with that job you have your good moments and then you just have those cases where its going to end up not being so good or happy.
>> That's interesting. I wonder what it would be like to have ran into the gingerbread man. Alex loves the story, I think he loves it because of the ending in every line about the run run as fast as you can.
>> You have my word that I won't blame you. Your just doing your job. But it won't be for a while. I'm still taking college courses.

	>> Or those cases where the guilty guy goes free, and you know he's the guilty one, but there is a whole lotta nothing that you can do about it. >> I would imagine... that he'd at least smell somewhat good. >> How far along are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

>> Yeah and that's why my job is going to be hard. I now know what my dad had to go through knowing his clients were guilty and having to try and get them off.
>> Oh yeah and I'm one if those people that if the story is about food like gingerbread man I will take my son into the kitchen and will bake gingerbread man cookies.
>> I have years to go. But I know that this place doesn't have a law school so after I finish school my bosses said that they would help train me.

	>> Just focus on how you'll be helping all of the guys that I wrongfully arrest! >> That's a joke. I'm never wrong in my arrests. >> Also a joke. >> Sounds appetizing. >> Well, some of the best tricks I learned from being a detective came from hands on experience, so I think that sounds like a much better plan than 4 extra years of lectures.

	>> Maybe! It does happen. >> You are just full of jokes today aren't you? >> Surprisingly I am a very good cook. Was always home alone because my dad always worked late. >> That's exactly what I was thinking. I just have 2 more years and then I'm going to be trained after that. Hopefully within the next 4 years I'll be ready to go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	>> Well, I have legs again. It's a good day. >> Unsurprisingly, I am not. I won't burn down the kitchen, and I can whip together a thing or two... but most of the time, I just go with takeout. >> Doesn't sound too long at all. Just focus on how amazing everything is going to feel when you're done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	julie_stark 2013-04-30 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	>> That's true! So were you out walking and running most of the day? I would imagine most people turned into half fish would be. >> Takeout? I do that on occasion but I find cooking and baking to be very therapeutic plus I love experimenting with food. Haven't had any complaints yet. >> Nope not too long. I can already see the light at the end of the tunnel. (Reply to this) (Parent)
