Please don't pet the goats. It's habit forming. Bring them to the Kuma-Ko for the bears to take care of. I'll offer my heron feather to whoever brings in the most.

Yes, the magic kind that provides one-time protection from harm.

Yes, you'll need it.

Bonus points if you tape the goat's mouth up so I don't have to listen to it.

The bears? What would they do with a herd of goats?

[canttrustliars]

I have no clue, but they're dressed for the occasion, so I figure that's where they're supposed to go.

[pimp_hat]

I t'ink I prefah my way of solvin' dis problem.

[canttrustliars]

As long as you're getting rid of them.

I can trust you to make sure Hazar doesn't try to keep one, right?

[pimp_hat]

Wait, she be tryin' to keep dem? Oh fuh da love of da Loa, she be havin' enough animals already.

[canttrustliars]

I don't know if she is, but knowing her she probably will. If there are any left around the ship when they get rid of them, people will end up fighting over the remaining ones so they can sit around petting them.

Of course, that's assuming that they do get rid of them.

[oblique_wisdom]

You... are going to take them to the restaurant for...

[Zelda knows what she means to say, and she understands, but there's a part of her that feels it's a little harsh. It'd be harsher to let them be all cramped.]

...All of them, Sir?

[canttrustliars]

I have no idea what the bears are doing with them. It doesn't really matter.

And yes, all of them. What, you propose we leave one or two so we can have some sort of war over who gets the stoner goats?

[oblique_wisdom]

...No... I suppose it does not.

I was not implying a war, Sir. I was just... I thought... It seems a bit primitive to kill all of them. Even if they are a bit... eccentric.

[canttrustliars]

Well that's what leaving them here will end up doing.

Don't worry, I doubt they'll kill them all. They might just move them all to a lower deck where they aren't an annoyance.

[missmimmi]

Is giving something like that away really that safe?

[canttrustliars]

It's incentive. I have other things to keep me safe.

[missmimmi]

Oh, well, I suppose that is fine then. Go away. Shoo.

[Goat eating her shoe laces fff]

Do.. things like this occur often? I'm nearly expecting it to rain ducks by this point.

[canttrustliars]

No, usually it's just on holidays.

[Poor Herz, addicted to goat petting. He passes Hajime with a cwute little jabbering goat in his arms and a huge goofy smile on his face.]

[Commentlog!]

[canttrustliars]

[You see, this is exactly what Hajime is trying to avoid. He catches Herz by the arm, giving him an unimpressed look.]

Herz.

[Commentlog!]

[meinxxherz]

[Herz smiles down at the Japanese man he doesn't recognize but recognizes him. That's cool!]

Hey!

[He dissolves into a short burst of giggles that sound kind of strange in his deep voice. He's still pettin' that goat, y'see.]

[Commentlog!]

[canttrustliars]

[Any other time, this would be hilarious.]

It's Hajime. Do you remember my voice?

[Herz is just as big as always, unfortunately enough for Hajime. Better do this carefully, just in case losing the goat made Herz momentarily forget his gentle nature.]

Ah! Look! I think something's wrong with your goat!

[He points at the creature, faking panic.]
