[fistallday]

[inject]

A dodo?

[ She can't help it. Those are extinct! ]

[fistallday]

ya shes just a baby right now

dodos get REALLY big, like i might be able to ride one and im a big guy

[inject]

Fascinating. [ She wondered if Dave would be able to speed up that process, and see if the creature would be big enough for that. ]

They are extinct where I'm from. You'll have to pardon the interest in it, and not in your cramped predicament.

[fistallday]

nah mate i know my home place is weird for folks. i forget sometimes hahaha

dodos are birds that live in the coastal regions around my home city. they have nests n stuff. can use their eggs to cook. i have a baby one i bought from a merchant cause she was cute. i love fat birds

[inject]

[ Shame it'd be unethical to dissect the only living member of a species. She wouldn't care, but she was doing well making a trustworthy name for herself. Not something to throw away over a fat bird. ]

I see. I imagine she might be quite the little terror if you were to take her to Floater Island.

[fistallday]

HAHAHAHA

shes not very clever. best she does is peep and take a ripe shit.

[inject]

[ She literally just told you to go to the island. Oh well. He hadn't seemed too smart in the dreamscape. ]

Manure on a habitat unused to it? Oh dear.

[fistallday]

[ Did he look like the brainy sort, Valentine? Please. ]

itll be fine. i should take her for a walk though. we travel together everywhere so it must be weird to just hang out and not have stuff gettin killed around ya

[inject]

And I suppose you won't bang your head out there.

[fistallday]

by the twelve, i hope so. cant even shit in peace anymore without a bump on me head

[inject]

If only there were a huge area nearby with no ceilings for you to use as bathroom facilities.

[fistallday]

what like the ocean?



























yeah i guess but ye ever had salt water in ur rear exit, not fun

[inject]

Now now. I'm sure it's good for it in the long run.

[fistallday]

aye thats true like things die and rot and the plants grow

unless its dead bodies then you can end up with voidsent n shiet like that

[inject]

Not a problem from my home, but I think I can understand the concept.

[ Thank goodness this is text, and Dori can't hear the furtive, quiet, 'heh'. ]

[armoured]

[Someone else who feels the pain of being too tall!

It takes him a while to respond, as he's still really not good with the text function.]

As lon g as you definitelyagree to stay dressed, I don't like to think of anyone whout a bed. Brother and I havefound a room and we ar eusing it until someone says we can;t.

[fistallday]

[ It's okay, he's used to talking into a magical headset (a "linkpearl"), so having to use BIG FINGERS to convey a message is rough. ]

i promise! me bird is quiet and doesnt make a mess but she might wanna cuddle if youre warm

your brother okay with it

[armoured]

I haven;t aske dhim but I dontthink he'll mind.

I like animal sand birds so that's not a proplem.

[fistallday]

good she keeps to herself but popoto is my darlin so we come as a pair

which says a lot cause im the size of two men stacked together

[armoured]

Do;t worry I'm tall too.

[This conversation is so frustrating already, stupid text.]

Wher are you ?Maybe we cn mee tup?

[fistallday]

uh i hang out near the kitchen

i like eating hahaha

i'm the big guy with the dark skin and pink eyepatch. hard to miss

[armoured]

Ill be thre soon.

[Well, relatively soon. Al doesn't know the layout of this place yet, and so it takes him a while to find the kitchens, but eventually a seven foot plus suit of armour is poking his head in and spotting the pink eyepatch.]

Uh, hello? I think we spoke earlier about a place to stay.

[fistallday]

[ Dori's seen paladins in similar armor, but it's still odd they'd be in it running around the base. He tilts his head slightly, and puts down the slice of buttered toast he was midway through eating. On second thought, he puts the toast down on the ground and his fat, round, googly-eyed bird companion squawks and starts eating it.

Dusting off his crumb-coated hands, he offered one massive, calloused hand to shake. ]

Doeranka Agatbraenasyn, but 'veryone calls me Dori.

[armoured]

Wow, I can see why.

[That's some name. Al holds out his hand in return and shakes it firmly, the metal and leather grip of his fingers strong.]

I'm Alphonse Elric, but you can call me Al. The room would be shared with my brother too, Edward, is that okay?

[fistallday]

'course it is. 'm jus' glad ter have a place ter call me own. I'll even keep me pants on.

[armoured]

Um, yeah, definitely do that.

[He does not want to see strangers with no clothes on, thanks.]

So why haven't you claimed one of the free rooms as your own?

[fistallday]

[ His eyebrow quirks slightly, and only the sound of his bird munching happily can be heard. ]

Ye can just... do tha'?

[armoured]

Well... nobody told me that I couldn't, and you have to have somewhere to stay, right?

[He figures it's okay.]

If they need the rooms for something else, then I'll move.

[fistallday]

Huh. Nae somethin' I'm used to, tha' s'all. Guess I dinnae need ter bunk down wit' ye after all!

[ He laughs, all rough, dry and gravelly. ]

Thank ye, sir. Been a bigger 'elp than ye realize.

[armoured]

Don't worry about it, I'm glad I could help even if it isn't by offering you a room.

[He would still do it if needed, but it seems like the guy will be happier on his own.]
