I think I have a good number of exit routes in the maze marked. If anyone is having trouble, I'm happy to serve as a guide as long as you're okay with meeting me at a snack station.

	Yeah, I've bitten my fair share in there. They taste about as good as they look. It'll take me a while to find you, so sit tight. If you see a coyote wearing a fanny pack, don't panic. It's just me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A fanny pack? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apparently they're "in" again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you wearing it like a cross body bag? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aapisi_okos 2019-10-09 06:33 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. It doesn't slip off when I'm on four feet that way. Makes running a little more difficult, but I'll take the trade off of having a phone handy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know, that's slightly better. Wearing it around your hip is so 90's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And difficult to pull off when your waist size isn't constant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So do you turn into a coyote often? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aapisi_okos 2019-10-09 06:52 am UTC (link)
	Pretty regularly, yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	quattuor 2019-10-09 07:43 am UTC (link)
	That's cool. Unless it's not. Hard to tell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aapisi_okos 2019-10-09 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	Depends on your point of view, I think. It's just something I can do. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh that was you? Good to know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aapisi_okos 2019-10-10 12:01 am UTC (link)
	That was me. I'm not usually so open about it, but extenuating circumstances. You and your friends looked like you were okay or I would have stopped. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With situations like this, it makes sense some people would be more open than they might be otherwise. Appreciate it. Can't really speak for the rest, but we all managed to walk out so that's got to be a good sign. How are you holding up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There's a lot less fear within the general populace here... things and people who are different seem to be pretty common. I think that helps with the decision.

It's always a good sign when you can walk away.

If I say what I'm really thinking here, someone somewhere will take that as a challenge to make life more "interesting" for me, so I'm going to plead the Fifth, if you don't mind.

~~I'm waiting for that to change. Just because you take humans and others considered people of any kind out of their world doesn't mean you remove their prejudices, fears, and basic natures. Eventually~~

It does seem like this place has a general tone of acceptance for what might be considered different.

Agreed.

~~Does that work in this case, or is that different in your world?~~

Understandable. Basically a "it could be worse" or "what could go wrong" or "well that wasn't so bad" and then it turns to shit.

	So far. We'll see how it plays out. In my case more often than not, an ancestor of mine gets involved and decides to put me in the path of something that needs to be taken care of. And if I'm lucky, it won't kill me in the process. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That we will. Sounds a little bit like my dad but with far more ominous undertones than he had (and he had a few). Does this mishegas with the maze seem like something one of your ancestors would do? (Reply to this) (Parent)
