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.

And how large would you say this menacing featherkin was? Six fulms high? Ten?

[codecmoment]

None of those words mean anything to me. It's a goose...

[sassian]

What is the usual convention for expressing a sigh over text, just out of curiosity.

[codecmoment]

It didn't have a shining third eye for me to poke out, okay.

Also you can just type "sigh," but your words say a lot.

[sassian]

Ha. Ha. Ha.

There is my laughter for your joke at my expense.

[codecmoment]

To be fair, your one weak spot is pretty high up.

[sassian]

You did catch me in an unusually vulnerable position.

Now, this "honking." Did it induce some sort of deleterious status effect?

[codecmoment]

It's just loud and threatening, like a person chasing you screaming is.

Have you never seen a goose before?

[sassian]

I have, indeed, seen geese. I have simply never been driven into hiding by one.

[codecmoment]

Because for a mere man, geese are assholes and aggressive.

So maybe you're the bigger asshole and they relent.

[envoyoftwilight]

Are you sure that was a goose.

[And not her stupid bat bird thing. It sounds like the kind of thing Charon would do.]

[codecmoment]

Yes! It looked like one and made similar noises, and about the same size. There's a lot of analogous species to ones I'm familiar with here, so... it's a goose... basically.

[envoyoftwilight]

We should catch it and eat it.

[codecmoment]

What? Duck is edible, I don't think goose is as good?

[envoyoftwilight]

You can eat anything if you cook it long enough, can't you?

[Guess who can't cook for beans.]

[codecmoment]

not if it's poisonous????????

I mean if you want to go hunt a cranky animal down for a meal, go ahead...

[envoyoftwilight]

I assume poison is cooked out of poisonous things. Also, I don't do that kind of labour. I'll hire someone else to do it for me.

[codecmoment]

Aren't you lucky/fortunate... I can't do it but I gotta, because I'm just a guy.

[sassian]

There is no need to take your frustration out on me. When have I ever stolen your spectacles?

[codecmoment]

I'm just trying to be cheeky, sorry... text makes it hard.

It also bit me.

Fine, I'll fight the goose.

So I may have hit it hard enough to send it flying.

What are my chances I just made a life-long enemy?

[profanation]

It stole my thermos and dipped it in the lake, the monstrous thing.
I've never seen such intent on an avian face before.
A true menace to society.

[envoyoftwilight]

If you have to do it, then doesn't that mean you can do it?

[codecmoment]

Doesn't mean it's a good job.
