quick poll, what's your favorite animal and on a scale from 1-10 how badly do you want to see one again?

[He's doing a poll in the stupidest way possible, what of it. At least this time there isn't naked people involved (yet).]

Dogs. 10.

[laidtocrest]

decisive! i like it! any particular dog you got in mind, or...

Dragon. But I'm biased and only want to see one particular one again; a generic just won't do.

[laidtocrest]

yeah, i get that, i miss my horse too.

[What, it took him a moment to remember what a dragon was, but a dragon is just a wyvern with extra legs, it makes sense.]

[nichocolatine]

[ aw damn he missed the naked people? ]

pigeons
miss them chubby lil fuckers

[laidtocrest]

[For now, but the clown show is sure to produce more naked people sooner or later.]

right? where's all the noise? why are my lunches so peaceful? it's like i eat outside and nothing comes up to me trying to steal my sandwich, it throws a guy off.

Cat. 6/10. I'd rather see my family before a random cat.

[laidtocrest]

yeah, way i see it i'd rather be back home with my friends instead of stuck here, but if i had to pick someone to come here with me i'd rather it be a cat instead of someone else i know.

but now i think about it that's probably not the case for everybody? there's probably some people better off here than wherever they came from

[A moment and.]

and that's way too much for a poll about animals and cats.

[theskyaccepts]

Lions, I guess.
Maybe a 6?

[One lion in particular, which is where most of that is coming from. He's fine not seeing the real thing.]

[laidtocrest]

why a lion? not arguing with it, i kinda got a lion bias too, but now you got me thinking about it i never actually saw one in person.

dogs i guess? Dogs are inoffensive
5, I have no real strong feelings on it but seeing a dog would be pretty nice

[laidtocrest]

you don't know what i'd do to see another living thing that isn't us or something like a tree. it's really starting to get to me. doesn't even have to be a dog or a cat or whatever, i'd settle for a fly or mosquito.

Why?

[ This is not answering the question. ]

[laidtocrest]

one, that's not answering the question. two, you gotta have an answer to this question, everybody does. and three, come on, at least i'm not asking another question about death or gods or casually revealing something like how the washing machine just tried to kill me. it's funnish? vaguely fun. breaks up the monotony.

[ Yesod is here to perceive this poll, thank you Sylvain. He also decides that he might as well answer it himself with something borrowed from Don Quixote because of how earnest a source of information she has been. ]

Rabbits, 10.

[laidtocrest]

a practical answer, i like it.

[Easy to keep, easy to breed, easy to cuddle, in the worst case easy to skin and prepare for cooking and reasonably tasty.]

i'm not sure what it says that i hit the point in which i'm liking practical answers with something like this, won't lie.

Tigers. 2.
It would have to be well kept and I don’t trust this place and also I don’t want to tempt fate I’d rather not have one running around loose…

[laidtocrest]

yeah, now you got me thinking about it, everything here's either so easy it's unbelievable or out to get us in the pettiest way possible with no in between.

either way, relax: i don't secretly have a tiger i'm hiding in my room, so if any tigers come to kill you they'll come from someone or somewhere else.

Swords, 10.

[laidtocrest]

if it turns out you're a guy i know i'm gonna laugh.

[He's not, the guy he's thinking of is back home and would be calling him an idiot if he was around.]

just so we're clear, by sword you mean the sharp pointy thing you use to stab people, not some kind of weird creature i never heard of, yeah?

( congrats. this is now THE best poll in the planet. )

i have to pick just one???????
ummm
how broad is your definition of animal

[laidtocrest]

pretty broad and i'm not a knight of seiros, i'm hardly gonna keep you from picking 20 if that's what makes you happy. go for it.

[firstwaters]

Is it okay to call amaro animals? They're very clever. And some of them can talk.
But they do really like pets. And belly rubs.
But maybe so do some people. I don't want to judge.

Amaro, I suppose! If that isn't too rude. And
Three out of ten if it's just to see one.
Ten if it's to give one a belly rub.
And zero if it's to eat.

[laidtocrest]

okay i'm gonna need you to draw one of these for me

[This thread would be going in a whole new direction if he knew he was dealing with a cute girl. He doesn't, everyone's luckier for that, so instead it's an art thread.]

[nomoresharks]

It's a tie between the ambystoma and the oreias. If you'll forgive my poor artistic skills, I've a drawing of them here.

[Attached: IMG001.jpg]

The ambystoma is the pink one near the top (a newer and quite charming creation) and the oreias (which I've heard to be quite the mischievous thief of shiny objects) is at the bottom.

The oreias is much more charming in person. I've hardly done the poor thing justice.

Oh, and the ambystoma is a 10, while the oreias is more of a 4 for practiacl reasons.

forgive the delay(s) on the 2x threads, inbox exploded

[laidtocrest]

don't take this personally but the oreias looks like the sort of thing i'd find stealing my laundry or my shoes or my lunch or my roommate. it just kind of feels like that sort of creature

Birds, maybe.
1

[laidtocrest]

kay, different question, why the maybe

[uglybug]

My abilisks!

Is one good or bad? I don't understand the scale.

[laidtocrest]

1 bad 10 good, my question is what an abilisk is? i'm using the chicken scale. if you got them, how much like a chicken are they like?

I suppose almost any creature would do if it made this place feel even slightly more alive.

[laidtocrest]

right? i realized i hit a new low when two people told me about some guy who's like a cat and i was getting my hopes up expecting it would be an actual cat, but it's just some guy who acts like one.

and it's so quiet. makes the noises, when i hear them, all the worse. is it just some guy doing whatever it is he's doing, is it another murder, or is it some statue being possessed by the spirit of one of my enemies here to kill me again?

text; un: InspectorConstable

[cupperty]

Horses, I think. Or possibly geese! I haven't actually seen either in person, but I've heard wonderful things about them. Does that still count?

[laidtocrest]

you've seriously never seen a horse?

[Deep pity.]

how about a cow?

[They're going to explore the entire fucking farm ecosystem, be prepared.]

[cleansewithfire]

Cats. I am not sure if I should give a number when there is at least one cat here. In a manner of speaking.

[ "Cat" Some guy who is very catlike probably counts, okay. ]

[laidtocrest]

people keep on telling me about the cat guy!

wait are you talking about the guy with ears or the other cat guy? i know the cat ear guy. he helped me break a curtain rod once. but all i know is that the other cat guy exists and that's it.

I never paid much attention to animals. Now I realize I do miss hearing the birds chirping and the dogs barking.

A friend of mine had a cockatiel named Loser. I suppose I'd like to see him again.

[laidtocrest]

once i got used to being here i actually had problems getting to sleep at night cause there wasn't any cats yowling outside. stupid, isn't it?

never had a bird, my family mostly stuck to practical animals

Video / un; Geilt

[hardestbattle]

My favorite animal?

I'm not certain I understand. But... salmon?

now it's video

[laidtocrest]

[Now, here he had been, shitposting a post onto the network, not anticipating that it would go places, in the process of contemplating the horror which is American cheese, and trying to decide whether or not he wants to grab some for his roommate to try-

When there's a video call! His first video, and in his attempts to match with a video of his own-]

Shit!

[Senua is treated to a view of the dairy aisle in a grocery store as the phone falls, gently twisting in air, but he picks it up.]

Sorry!

[Hi.]

Hey. [You saw nothing.] Salmon's good. I like salmon. Some guy asked me to do a poll so I figured, hey, might as well ask people about animals.

[Yes, all of this shitshow is a direct result of somebody chasing the plot, believe it or not.]

I think I am morally obligated to say "fox."

Though I would enjoy any type of wildlife, truthfully.

[laidtocrest]

decisive, i like it, but why a fox?

and i think we're all desperate enough that if one of the cat guys were to actually turn into a cat morale would go up with everyone
