oh hell i fucked up

i fucked up

staying up so late last night was a bad idea

i'm on duty for another seven hours and that museum's big opening is tonight too

why is time moving so slow

i drank some kind of weird neon energy drink thing that's supposed to make your body feel like it's made of lightning or some shit but it hasn't kicked in yet

fuck


[OOC: Please assume this post takes place on the morning of Tuesday the 25th! Alas, poor Jotaro, he stayed up late and now it's morning and his ENERGY LEGS haven't kicked in yet.]

[Sorry, Louis, he's probably at work right now, so he can't be sending video. Text will just have to do.]

it's the name of a movie
never cry wolf
it's about wolves obviously

i like wolves they're pretty cool

[disasdeer]

Never heard of it. [ but why would he have ] Are they? Why's that?

I mean, the wolves I've known I'd never describe as cool. [ he loves them, can't you tell ]

[starmark]

i don't mean like sanguis wolves
i mean real wolves

anyway a lot of people don't realize it but wolves are actually pretty social
that whole "lone wolf" thing is kind of bullshit
also their senses are amazing
they can smell something from over one and a half kilometers away
and they can hear things from almost ten km away

their sense of smell is forty times better than a person's
and they're pretty friendly if you don't harass them
they're actually kind of shy around strangers

[disasdeer]

I figured you didn't mean the Sanguis wolves.

Wait - so those things are what make them cool?

[ he cares, really. he swears. ]

I would have thought it'd be because they're strong, have powerful jaws and claws.

[starmark]

well
they do
but wolves are way more interesting than just stuff like that

most people have a wrong idea of wolves i think
they show up in folktales and stuff and they're always the bad guys
like the big bad wolf or whatever

but wolves aren't really savage
they can be friendly
they just have a bad reputation because of some people's assumptions

[disasdeer]

[ oh no he can't stop himself from laughing because the idea of the big bad wolf? it's too funny to him. way too funny. ]

I guess it depends on what lesson the folktale was trying to convey and who it's for.

Man, you're a really big fan and know a lot about them.

It's weird to imagine them as bad guys, though.

[starmark]

i guess?
i just like them
like i said, wolves are cool

you've never heard stories like those?

[disasdeer]

I mean. Not exactly like that. We have folktales, but everyone where I'm from is an animal...

So there's ones that are suitable for every species, and ones like Nashitarou.

Uh... I think I saw something like it in the library here. Momotarou?

[starmark]

i wonder if it's the same momotarou that i know

was nashitarou born from a peach





wait what do you mean everyone is an animal

[disasdeer]

A pear, actually. But - it's pretty similar.

I mean... everyone's an animal. I was a deer pre-arrival here. I'm actually Sanguis myself. ...I wasn't kidding when I said I know wolves.

[starmark]

wait
you were a deer before you came here
but now you're a sanguis

so what happens when it's sanguis
do you turn into a wolfdeer or something

[disasdeer]

Yes. [ a pause ] And yes.

It's - yeah, a hybrid between a wolf and deer. A little weird, to be honest. Oh, on two legs. Maybe I should emphasize that. I understand people are used to the four-legged variety. I understand you're human, then.

[starmark]

seems like it'd be pretty weird yeah

i know someone who normally has a lot of sanguis-like traits
who ended up as an iris
seems like maybe this place has a strange sense of humor that way

how do you walk on two legs though
deer aren't really evolved to be bipeds?
at least not where i'm from

[disasdeer]

[ There's a slightly amused tilt because yes, he thinks of his friend. He was a wolf who went Iris. ]

It seems that what we were has little impact in the matter. Would have been nice to just stay a deer.

But, I walk the same way you do, probably.

Unless you don't walk like other humans I've seen. Then I walk like them.

[starmark]

...

is it weird to ask if you still have hooves

i'm not sure if that's a thing that's okay to ask
i've never talked to a deer before

[disasdeer]

No hooves. Just fingers and toes. I'm pretty close to human really. You're not the first to ask about that, either.

Uh, would it be rude if I asked if humans had hands or feet? Think... of it like that.

It's weird to ask, probably, though. Give I have seen a lot of humans and hands and feet.
