Psssst. Got a question for all of you.

[ silence - background static - for a few seconds. there is the sound of a page turning, a deep breath, and then- ]

"If you were an animal, what kind would you be?"

[ guess who found the Big Book of Young Children's Icebreakers in the library. ]

	Maybe a dolphin. Just so I could experience swimming in the ocean like they do. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No, see, that sounds more like "if you could be an animal, what kind would you be." That question's bullshit. I'm asking- Actually, hold that thought. Why a dolphin? Is getting some air just that important? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Honestly, it was the first animal that popped into my head. I've always liked them. [But to address something else he said.] The swearing isn't necessary and I'm pretty sure the other question could be considered legit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ahahaha, are you serious right now. "Isn't necessary?" [ for a moment, he's sorely tempted to launch into a diatribe on the rhythm and flow of cursing. ...too much effort. fuck that. ] Well, whatever. I guess it works, since dolphins are pretty rad and all. You can train them to jump through hoops and stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ for that, he gets a look to show that she is not kidding. She doesn't take crap from anyone, no matter who they were. However, Bonnie is reluctant to start anything so she relaxes her expression, keen to move on. ] Exactly. Swimming with them is said to help people as well. There is a place in Florida.

Probably pretty fucking shitty. I mean, shit, just think about it - you're just some arctic tern, flapping around and trying to have a moment of peace, and all these assholes swarm you and try to feed you crackers. And that's not even considering the asshole kids who pull out the Alka-seltzer when they see you.

But hey. I guess the eating, flying and shitting everywhere life could be worse.

Now see, that's where I'm coming from. Crows are fucking badass. Get a pigeon, and all you have to your name is a load of birdshit. But crows, man, they're sharp as hell. Even if they end just flapping around and making a mess of your room and shit.

[ and then you accidentally stab a sword through them and send them flying out the window, thanks to your bullshit inventory storage.

Uh. Pretty much, yeah.

	A snake, of course! [Answering Questions Literally: a cherubic lifestyle.] [Calliope decides that since she didn't use her imagination to think of a more different animal, maybe that doesn't count. She tries again.] I wouldn't mind being a dog, either. They rather carefree, have soft fur, and are occasionally omnipotent. (Reply to this) (Thread)

[ THAT'S WHAT HE WAS GOING FOR god marina, no sense of creative literal interpretation. ]

Nah, see, snake is good. Dogs, on the other hand, range from "small but harmless" to "fucking assholes in the first place-"

[ wait ]

So hey, just making sure here, but the omnipotent devilbeasts you're thinking of wouldn't happen to live on deserted fucking islands and play radioactive fetch, right? Just throwing ideas out here.

[ as a mentat, he has had many, many, many things asked of him in his life— but never has he been posed a question such as this. ] Ah, but does that not beg many questions in return? For what reason are such genetic mishaps being produced, and for what reason would such a brawl begin? Are the animals, perhaps, bred to fight— or could it be that they are menaces to society and must be obliterated? [ cue the most sassy of eyebrow raises.

for the record though: the former seems simpler to piter. if one is deft in his movements and wears sturdy footwear, he is quite sure that such small horses would be quick work. but he refuses to dignify such an asinine question with an answer. ]
