He just chuckled. "we can handle it. The man never was that bright. He just tries to buy his way to everything he wants..."

"Well, if you're sure..." Joan replies doubtfully.

"On a lighter note, know any good places to see around here?" He asked.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 6:25 am

"Sixtoes, Lucky? You've been here the longest, haven't you? Care to answer that?"

Cinnamon warily emerges from under the awning, head craned to check the rook's nest.

"Answer what? Oh. You can see pretty much everything from the top of the ridge up there, just inside the park."

"Rev wanted to know what you can see and do around here."

"Not much, really, the most exciting place in town is your garage, you know, because of all the neat old junk and the haunted car and all. When I say haunted, I mean it's only a possible haunting, OK, and I don't think ghosts are like movie monsters that suck your face off and stuff like that."

Flynn shudders. "I hate those kinds of movies. I did like Watership Down though - that John Hutch fellow who played Hazel-rah was brilliant. I'm not sure why that Richard Adams human came up with the idea of us having our own language though."

Koa just sitting quietly eating his veggies and thinks to himself. This is a big group. Slightly too big.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 8:30 am

"Maybe rabbits and other animals did have their own languages, long ago, before humans came along and took over everything. How did that happen anyway? It's not like they're any smarter than other animals, and they're so slow. I mean, look at me, if I was human I'd still be learning how to tie my shoes. Not that I wear shoes, of course, but you know what I mean, I'd like to see a six year old human do Java bytecode injection!"

Joan and John look at each other and shake their heads.
"We have no idea," they say together.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 8:59 am

"That's what they always say. It's some kind of human conspiracy. Secret masters of the universe stuff. Humph."

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 9:05 am

John laughs. "Oh dear, you're on to us. We'll have to lock you up in our secret US-Government-funded experimental bunker now."

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 9:14 am

"Same story, they always point to some other secret conspiracy, Masons and Moonies and Mafia, oh my!"

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 9:38 am

Joan and John look at each other again. "What would you have us say, then?" enquires Joan.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 9:41 am

"I don't expect you to say anything! If you're in on it, you wouldn't tell us, and if you're not, you couldn't tell us. That's logic!"

Cinnamon bobs his head in a satisfied nod and scurries back to the awning before that crazy rook decides to divebomb him again.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 9:52 am

John laughs again. "Can't refute that logic!"

Rev sighed and hummed to himself.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 10:35 am

Cinnamon beckons Flynn over to the edge of the porch, and whispers to him. "Did you notice how your owners took over our conversation, as if they didn't want animals talking about the human mystery at all?"

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 10:54 am

Flynn whispers back: "I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill, Sixtoes; they were just trying to join in. Why should we try to exclude them? Besides, I personally reckon that it was just luck that got humans where they are now - I don't see any other way they could have done it."

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:05 am

"Everywhere, all at once? And they're such an unlikely species, too, so slow, so fragile. Even rabbits have better claws and teeth. Uh, no offense, but you know what I mean, right? Oh, sure, they live a long time, but there's other long-lived species. It's almost like we're in a fanfic written by humans from a more normal world, some kind of epic fantasy like Pridelands, except with apes instead of cats."

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:15 am

"I always thought rabbit's claws and teeth were pretty good. Anyways, it could be worse. The world could have ended up being taken over by octopi. I hear they're quite intelligent too."

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:26 am

"Huh. People say the crow clan are 'highly intelligent' too. You can't prove that by me. Look at what that stupid bird did!"

Cinnamon leans over and tugs at the fur on his head and neck to show Flynn his still-oozing puncture wounds.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:42 am

"Ooh, nasty, Dracula." jokes Flynn, shuddering. "Please put that away. Well you can thank your lucky stars it's not the crows instead of the humans running the world."

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:50 am

"Why do they say that anyway?"

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:54 am

"Say what?"

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:58 am

"Lucky stars, Is that some kind of breakfast cereal? I never pay attention to food I can't eat."

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 12:11 pm

"I would think it's a reference to astrology. I don't follow any of that rubbish though."

Hearing the two talk about smelling like a rodent broke the lioness out of her trance.
"Err... I usually sleep someplace where the ground is cool. Like a cave.". She said.
"Do you think we can put a cave in here?". Senka asked thoughtfully.

"That was good lunch, said Lucky, "Thank you."

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 2:01 pm

"Huh, I never made the connection. Got enough trouble keeping up with real sciences to bother with debunked ones."

"Thanks for the food, it's good." Pyre said finishing off a sausage.

LovingCorgi · Post by **LovingCorgi** » Mon Jul 08, 2013 7:23 pm

After finishing his meal he went over to John "Excuse me da.......Joh......" Koa felt really nervous, and had trouble talking to him. ".....Mr Porter? I was wondering if we could go get my stuff right now."

Mercury dropped his cleaned plate into the sink and thanked his hosts, "Thank you for repeatedly feeding me!"

"Personally, I reckon that science is in the doldrums. I mean, if you compare it today to the rate of advancement we had from the 60's through the 90's, all that seems to be changing now is the apperance of the OS with very little hardware or funcitonality change... Anyways, I'm going to get another veggie burger. Want another sausage?"

"You're welcome, everyone. Glad you liked it." smiles Joan.

"Mr. Porter is my grandfather, Koa. Call me Dad or John or idiot like Joan does, whichever makes you feel comfortable. There's no need to be so nervous - I won't bite. We're friends, right? Your stuff... I'll have to have a good look through the paperwork for your adoption first, sign on the dotten line and all that to make sure it's all legal but once I've doen that I suppose we can... Was there something you urgently needed or can it wait until after we've seen the vet?"

"Maybe, but I think there's a lot of potential in loop quantum gravity and spin networks... Sarumpaet's quantum graphs are amazingly evocative... and of course dark matter and dark energy, especially if I get my dark light detectors working properly, without wacky birds distracting me... oh yes, absolutely, more sausage, can I have a bun this time, it's less messy."

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:26 am

"I dunno... I've not looked a lot into that kind of stuff. Without the background in physics a lot of it just goes over my head." Leading Sixtoes back out to the barbeque he helps himself to another burger. "We don't have any buns defrosted, by the look of it. There might be one in the freezer though. But there's plenty of sliced bread here already."
