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.

Probably better than my world's alternative.

Bionic eyes don't seem as cool when they're massive goggles that need fairly constant maintenance.

[codecmoment]

Oh! That sounds kind of steampunk. No, if I really needed to, I could get cyborg parts... but that's a bit much for me.

[sleepinglotus]

I'm not familiar with the term but I'll take your word for it.

General Ironwood of the Atlas military has some pretty extensive cybernetic work, though I've never been privy to the reason why. A woman that was traveling with us back home named Maria had to get the eye replacements due to a particularly gruesome attack that left her blind otherwise.

She does alright with them but they tend to malfunction often due to age.

I can imagine there's just as many cons as there are pros of going that route for anything really.

[codecmoment]

Sometimes you don't have a choice if something happens to you.

Laser eye surgery, where I come from, just kind of makes your eyes feel dry all the time while they heal. I don't know a whole lot else. I'm just so used to glasses at this point.

[torsion]

[ Yes. ]

I mean, it's okay. What, has no one given you anything for it?

It was more because you got ruffed up by a goose, but if no one's even gotten you a drink for that then I'd be remiss not to. Consider it my cheat day, pal.

Maybe it has a nest close by? I doubt the staff would be inclined to move the avian terror around if it has decided to settle there.

[codecmoment]

That was my guess, honestly. Protecting the babies.

... baby geese...

[sleepinglotus]

Of course. I just worry about her getting in a dangerous situation and having them break. She's not a young Huntress anymore.

I don't see a problem with sticking with what you're used to.

Unless a goose steals them, of course.

[tropism]

So it's going to cause traffic and havoc for generations to come? We have come to the wrong planet, truly.

[codecmoment]

Just sass for it not gathering data. There's enough problems with that back home, I'm not gonna take part.

That's... really nice? I'm not used to being asked out suddenly. Do you have any particular day in mind or anything?

[codecmoment]

The bite hurt worse than the theft, really. I have no pride left to hurt.

[codecmoment]

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic because text is hard for that, but it gets a lot worse than mean waterfowl here.

[torsion]

You'd probably get shit regardless. Even if it was opt-in data. Volunteering your time to make something doesn't mean you should be volunteering all your time.

I mean, whenever you're free. I don't exactly have a schedule/steady job in this place.

Do you drink?

[codecmoment]

Only socially. I've been doing it more often, and it helps when the moons are out.

[tropism]

I'm joking. Obviously, the waterfowl is probably more an annoyance than anything. Your post is just so ridiculous compared to the rest around here, though, and I'm sorry for your glasses but it made me laugh.

[torsion]

About the same. I don't drink much. I prefer my liquid calories to come with creatine.

Not exactly embracing the bullshit either, I take it?

[sassian]

"Sigh"

The thanks I get... I am rather tempted to come honk at you personally.

[codecmoment]

Is that a threat?

ASScian?

[sleepinglotus]

That's a worrying statement.

[codecmoment]

I just roll with it. It's been an interesting month, wrangling... nonhumans.

[codecmoment]

At least it was funny to someone...

[torsion]

More flexible than I am.

What time do you get off?

[codecmoment]

Whenever I want, I don't have a set schedule. I like making sure I'm in the apartment around six, though, because my roommate forgets to... eat.

[torsion]

Can I meet your dog?

[codecmoment]

I don't have a dog.
