Hey... could someone... help me... build a thing...

... Or not... don't worry if you can't.

Anyway... thanks... if you do...

... Or if you don't.

Oh! Good idea; not all the live fish we collect take kindly to being raised in an indoor tank, either. And if it's consolidated with the farm, that location's probably large enough...

[napstablook]

That's what I was thinking... I didn't want them to get anxious and depressed? So being mostly outside, but safe from predators... seemed like the best idea...

... you know... maybe...

[oneandmikleonly]

It's pretty considerate.

Probably more complicated than the setups for the plants, though...you'd want the water still able to flow through naturally, right? Maybe some kind of netting would work...

[napstablook]

But the predators would be able to get through nets...

... I'm no good at ideas...

[oneandmikleonly]

You're not no good; it's a fine idea. Just needs some planning and knowhow...I don't know how fish are kept for farming in a safe way either, though, you've got a point about the predators.

But maybe URSULA would be able to recommend an ideal way to go about it? She has a lot of knowhow.

[napstablook]

URSULA thought it would be best to make a room on the base for them... I don't know... it seems like it'd make them too anxious...

[oneandmikleonly]

Hmmm. Actually...are you planning to let them essentially forage for themselves, or gather food for them and feed them regularly?

[napstablook]

From what I've read... and seen... you can't really... do that with Peepers? They're too... nervous... and not really able to be trained...

But Rabbitrays might be able to be herded... I could try it with them, but give some sort of free range supply for the...

... Peepers...

[oneandmikleonly]

The Rabbitrays are pretty amenable, yeah. Have you tried speaking to them in the dreamscape? Perhaps the Peepers would be a bit less anxious if you explained the arrangement simply to them as well...just, stay in this area and there'll be food. I don't know how well they communicate, but it's a small enough task with the telepathy's range, maybe...?

[napstablook]

I'm

a bit

shy...


... Sorry...

[oneandmikleonly]

Hey, no need to apologize...would company help? Or the opposite of that?

[napstablook]

It might... I mean... most people are better at talking to people than I am... so I don't see why it wouldn't help.

[oneandmikleonly]

Well...I wouldn't mind going out with you to ask. It's not a big thing.

[napstablook]

That's really kind of you... ohhh...

... Just... just let me know when you have the time... I don't want to impose...

[oneandmikleonly]

Anytime's fine. It's not often I'm on a tight schedule or anything, so...as long as you let me know when you want to do it a little in advance, it's no imposition at all.

[napstablook]

Well I guess... maybe... a week or two... from now? If that's okay...?

[ Give them some time to work up to the idea and then panic anyway because working up never works. ]

[oneandmikleonly]

Sure. Just ask for Mikleo, I'll answer.

[napstablook]

Ok, Mikleo...
Um.
We - my bandmate and me - might be performing... sometimes... if you want to come listen... maybe after a performance we could... go... do that...

[oneandmikleonly]

Sounds good to me. I'll keep an eye -- and ear -- out!

[napstablook]

Thanks.........

Well, bye...
