( 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. )

( 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.]

[velveteened]

I never found out!

( MOURNFULLY )

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