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.

Fine, I'll fight the goose.

[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]

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.

[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･､)

[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.

[codecmoment]

I've been told that before.

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

[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?

[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.

[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?

[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.

[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?

[codecmoment]

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

[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.

[torsion]

That was a joke, you know.

Anyway I'll pick you up when you've got the time.
