having the cathouse nowhere near your place didn't stop you from attacking us the last time, red.

Hah

Yeah! Hah!

rumaging around in the sewers, comes apon a trolloc. hmm. snags it and puts the snapping fiend into a safety carrier. It's a young one. will start training it as soon as she finds out what it is.

Is that a Fericulungos I see over there? They're quite shy monsters that only eat people who walk down dark places on there own, who frankly deserve it.

<BB<

well, if they only eat people who deserve it, then we'll leave them alone. they have a place in the environment.
Just got back from Patrick's tale where I discovered that trollocs are sentient creatures. released that one into it's natural environment.
you aren't afraid of monsters, are you? being dead already, I don't mind being eaten, I can just phase out of a monster's belly. here, take this.
::hands bluebottle a tastful gothic pewter medallion. it has 2 buttons.::
I got these from einstein's ghost a while back; gave some to the dogs. you push one button to phase through things, one to teleport. I forget which button does which, though.

One advantage of being a Bluebottle is that, if I'm ever killed, all I have to do is shout out "You rotten swine! You've dedaded me again" and I automatically come back to life again.
But thanks for the medallion. Hmmm... Pewter.
You know, pewter has a very undeserved reputation in the UK. Since Victorian Times, Silverware has been fashionable, and pewter has been regarded as a poor comparison, leading to the death of pewter craftsmanship in Britain. It breaks my heart to think of it.

we've got some really cool sculptures in pewter. it's not as expensive, so a lot of amature sculpters use it. You see their stuff at art fairs.

My dad does some pewter work, very small stuff, mainly. Yet no-one in the area seems interested in it when they could get something tackier that has the advantage of being silver. America has a respectable pewter market, but in comparison, in England no-one cares.

<BB<

that sucks.
I always wanted to try it myself. I just get caught up in everything else and never get around to getting the supplies.

creeps up on an albino aligator that is eating. takes notes, like a good conservationist. wonders if they can get merl perkings or that other fellow from t.v. to come down and do a special.

Who's Merl Perkings?
How about David Attenborough? Or David Bellamy?
All good wildlife reporters have "David" as their first name. It is the law.

<BB<

the law of David? I thought he only wrote poetry.

Maybe...
