Hey! If you're down by the Groves, be careful: there's a really mean goose there! Or, goose-like animal, since this is an alien planet. It chased me around and took my glasses and I had to get a new pair. ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

Hopefully the Grove staff can deal with it, but avoid going for any nice autumn walks today. I heard it honking at some people as I was stumbling around blind.

Did it bite you, too, or just take your things like a little thief?

[codecmoment]

No! It's just an animal being mean! (｡•́︿•̀｡)

[torsion]

Did you drop your glasses or did it pluck them off your face?

Eyeglasses aren't cheap, last I checked.

[codecmoment]

100%, but it's just an animal... they do animal things. It may be territorial.

[codecmoment]

It bit me and chased me around and then I tripped. It was a series of events where it took them. (╥﹏╥) Just my lot in life I guess, but I could use some new frames.

[torsion]

You didn't answer.
I'm sorry that you were attacked by it, though.
Even if it's kind of funny.

Is it just normal otherwise? Is it really big? Does it look like a normal goose?

[codecmoment]

Yeah I'm the wimpy nerd, of course a goose would bully me.

But yeah it's just a goose-like bird on an alien planet. Noisy. Long neck for grabbing if you have to.

[torsion]

Didn't say anything like that.
My partner's kind of a dweeb. I'm pretty fond of that kinda guy.

I can't tell if you're encouraging me to choke it or not. I don't exactly have a game plan for it, but I've hunted for food before. And goose is pretty tasty.

[codecmoment]

So you CAN eat it... huh.

I'm not sure if it'll be frowned upon or not since it's kinda park land there.

[torsion]

What? You've never had goose? It's a lot like duck.
You want to try to cook it in its own fat. Crispy skin is good, too.

Not even going to encourage vengeance? Spoilsport.

[envoyoftwilight]

I never said it was good. Why not just have someone else do the cooking for you?

[codecmoment]

I've never been lucky enough to try. Lived on a simple diet for a long time... here I actually get to eat whatever I want. It's nice and luxurious.

I'm not that sort of person, especially to an animal. (ﾉω･､)

[codecmoment]

Here? I can do the takeout things. Back home was the same. That sort of skill isn't... a thing I do, and I don't expect any potential partners to pick up my slack.

[torsion]

It's considered pretty simple, but I understand. Been about four years since I've been able to do that sort of thing myself.

I take it you can't help but indulge a little, too?

You're too nice for your own good.

[sleepinglotus]

I wasn't even IN its territory! It ran at me and my puppy and bit him!

He's okay now and slamming an angry goose with my Aura was probably a bit of an overreaction but come on, that's my pet.

[sassian]

Oh dear. I do hope it let all your various limbs intact.

Shall I fetch you a chirurgeon?

[codecmoment]

I've been told that before.

But yeah, I do. My roommate and I take turns, when he feels like eating, or... remembers...

[codecmoment]

Some animals, like people, are just kind of assholes.

Also, it went after the baby, it should have been prepared for the protector to take offense.

[codecmoment]

... I don't know what that word means, but I think you're being a goose right now.

[torsion]

Maybe it's a hint to kick the goose next time.

Fine, I'll take you out for some goose and dim sum. Since I'm apparently not allowed to fight it, even if I feel honor-bound.

[codecmoment]

[ Wait what. ]

Really? Why? Was my stupid app that good?

[sleepinglotus]

True on both accounts.

I do think it recovered.

About fifty feet away.

But that means it's still alive so I don't feel -that- guilty over hitting it.

[codecmoment]

I won't tell the police.

[sleepinglotus]

I appreciate your discretion.

Were you able to get around without your glasses alright?

[codecmoment]

Absolutely not. Maybe I'll get laser eye surgery, apparently I look better without glasses...
