What would...be a good name for a pet? A pet squid, I mean!! I still don't know what to call it? I feel bad just calling it squid. Please give me some names to choose from! Thank you!! (人´口`)!!

But also would anyone like to hear a joke?

[ Shigeru, no. He is totally preparing for his joke contest against a certain clown. So he needs the practice. But he's also really bored at the clinic right now? ]

Please tell me some jokes too!! I'd like to hear ones other people have, especially their favorites!

[ Shigeru do you really want to go down this road?! ]

Some have been known to eat such things. You could always name it 'Dinner.'

[A joke. Caim is moving up in the world.]

[mysophobic]

[ Caim, no?! ]

I!! I would never call him that! Unless...he really liked it and even then it seems a bit too cruel to call a pet a food name.

[ Shigeru is too pure to actually do something like that!! ]

[voiceofanimus]

You may have no alternative but to eat him at some point. It would be wiser not to invest too much of yourself in him.

[Do it. Eat your pet.]

[mysophobic]

Why! Why would I ever have to eat him??

[ Sure there's been some crazy stuff happening but nothing to the extent of not having any food available to eat! ]

I don't want to think of having to do that. But...realistically you might have a point. Still I don't know if I can even eat something like him. He's not exactly a...normal looking squid.

[voiceofanimus]

You have no guarantee that you will not need to.

[Caim suspects he need not drive home his point any further.]

You also use the term 'normal' as if that ought to apply here. There is likely nothing normal here. It is plausible there is little 'normal' where you come from either.

[And there's nothing normal to others where he comes from either.]

[mysophobic]

I...guess you're right about that. Normal is relative right? Especially when we get into all the different worlds people are from. Even back home I'm not considered normal, but at least here people don't know what I am and that's nice.[ Shigeru that's way too deep, what the heck?! ]

It's nice being in a place where people aren't afraid of you.</font

[voiceofanimus]

[There is truth in how he finishes that.

It's nice being in a place where people aren't afraid of you.

Caim is, frankly, unaccustomed to it. He is used to people steering clear of him and usually it is for the best that he does so. It comes as no surprise that others are likely the same.]

Normal is relative.

Anything that you are here is likely comparable to what others may be like.

[mysophobic]

I don't know about that. I don't think people here turn into...monsters if their powers go out of control.

[ At least not from what he's seen and not under an outside force like Majestas. Shigeru's gate is very much damaged so he could lose control at any time. But he's trying his best to make sure that doesn't happen. ]

[voiceofanimus]

Not everyone turns into monsters or beasts here. My younger sister, for instance, does not.

[Well. Not to him, anyway. It's a little on the nose, but Caim can't help thinking Furiae with her slight alterations is a little more on the divine side of things.

Perhaps that is simply a brother's perspective, however.]

[mysophobic]

Your sister? You mean your family is here with you?!

[ That has got to be hard to deal with for sure??! ]

[voiceofanimus]

My sister arrived some months ago. Other than that, no one from my world is here.

[But if he's honest, Lunatia is leagues better than anything waiting for them in Midgard.]
