( there's a slight sound of rustling after the feed clicks on, as oz makes himself more comfortable on a seat in the observatory. why he's there late at night — night by circadian rhythms, anyway, simulated nights on the moon — is anyone's guess, or maybe it's obvious enough. in any case, when he speaks up a moment later, he sounds to be in a good enough mood. )

What's your favorite story? Scary ones are probably best for late at night, but what I really want to hear about are everyone's favorites. For instance, something about a princess and a dragon, or maybe a mystery with a twist ending, or something out of history....ah, if you make it up or adapt it from a book, that's fine too! Or even if it's a real one that's happened to someone you know, ( and a light laugh ) — don't worry, I don't tell anyone!

But it's rude to ask without giving my own preference, right? I can start with mine, if anyone wants.

( he'll tell people about holy knight. all about it!!!! don't ask him about it. )

[See Fondue? Normal cat. It's okay.

... Fondue is okay with this, though he still gives a half-hearted 'wrof' at the thought of a cat.]

That's good, actually. Can you imagine taking care of a cat that could turn invisible or something? Talk about a challenge.

( he laughs at that image. )

But that sounds fun! You could play a lot of exciting games ( and pranks ) with a pet like that, and it'd never get boring.

Getting them to do things they didn't want to do might be more challenging though, like bathes and even grooming.

[Fondue loves the attention so he doesn't mind.]

How about a pet that can go super fast? Or one that could change colors? Flying and supersonic voices - there's a number of weird powers they could have, even combos!

[-- Actually this is starting to sound REALLY FUN. Maybe he'll pick up a super powered pet for Charlie.]

That's a good point! But as long as they're making noises, you'll be able to find them.

( he finds the notion as exciting, so he listens to the options eagerly )

All of those powers at once! Or ones that are super strong or can even talk back to you!

[All of them at once?! My, Oz, you are adventurous!]

Fortunately, Fondue and I know each other well enough to be able to talk to each other without any kind of secret power. [Woeuf!] But this is only the tip of the iceberg. If there were any that were affected by the radiation in a physical way, we could have pets that had anything from wings to fur that shot off like pins. Or extra limbs. Undead animals too.

( ah, getting into talk of radiation is starting to inch closer to why he's awake in the first place. )

I've heard about undead animals here once, but that was before I got here. A lot — I've never been to the Outlands ( while fully conscious anyway, shh ) but there were a lot of radiation-affected animals there.

[The Outlands - a ruin filled area with animals of all shades and size and scarce clean areas of rest. Raphael remembers reading about them. Not a nice place. Then again, anything outside of the city wasn't very nice, and the city itself wasn't very nice...]

And I'm guessing not many people bring them home as pets. So how did you get your normal cat?

No. Ah, except! ( it actually makes him laugh ) Two of my friends brought back a whole herd of sheep for the wool and milk.

As for my cat, I won him in a game.

A whole herd! I don't think I've seen a whole herd of animals in my life. [Being born and raised in the city does that to you. Plenty of artists though.]

But they have games like that? I'm surprised to hear that.

( you know what before he addresses anything else, he's just going to rustle up and then send along a link to the broadcast break and gilbert made about the sheep.

that is what a herd sounds like, raphael, though they're usually (hopefully) significantly less scary. )

[Raphael laughs openly at it, while Fondue ops for growling at the broadcast. They're-- They're terrifying! It's kinda amazing. Even without having seen a herd, he knows that the ones back home aren't half as monstrous as these.]

Fondue, Fondue, it's fine. We won't be meeting anything like that around here for some time. [Hrrroeuf.] Was their milk good?

[The important questions.]

I never found out!

( MOURNFULLY )

There wasn't a chance to milk or even shear them properly.
