Video 003: Well I guess I should...

[claws_n_teeth]

[Here comes a very serious-faced catshark. Very serious.]

Humans!

Tell me about yourselves!

[This isn't asked, or even stated in a friendly manner. It was an order, meant for the 'humans' of Somarium. Except Kamina. He didn't want to know about him. But he figured he was stuck here and that 'Fang' person was right. There were humans all about him. He

[she is faceplaming mentally in her head]

When I said "get to know humans", this wasn't what I meant.

[claws_n_teeth]

This works.

[Tsun tsun. Have a grumpy beastman. Of course this would work. What else would have worked?]

I'll probably learn something.

[rendtheskies]

[just sighs and shakes her head]

You've never held a decent conversation before, have you?

[claws_n_teeth]

Define 'conversation'. And 'decent'.

[rendtheskies]

[sigh] You really don't get out often, do you?

You know, just talk to people. Get to know them better without tryin' ta kill them.

[claws_n_teeth]

...Define 'get out'.

No, but really. What sort of things would I talk about if I have never held a conversation before? I'm sure this is a decent start.

[rendtheskies]

Oh it's a start all right. Still questioning the "decent" part.

[and now she's giving a small wry grin]

Well there must be something you could connect with others. What are some of your interests?

[claws_n_teeth]

I don't know! I fight. That's it. It's all I do.

Sometimes I hunt for food, but I don't like it as much as fighting.

I... Nope. I got nothing.

[rendtheskies]

... [wow Viral. just. wow. she's not sure if she should be impressed or feel sorry for you.]

You really need to get some new hobbies.

[claws_n_teeth]

[He frowns again at that. At first, he'd be persecuted for talking to humans, and now he's basically being persecuted for not talking to them? He can't be what everyone wants! And he's not certain why he should feel obligated to change his ways.

Other than for him not to get bored enough to try and take out the city anyway. It wouldn't work, but it'd be doing something.]

I enjoyed the company of Enkidu, I suppose. Even if he doesn't talk. And isn't technically sentient.

I had to bang out dents, and while that wasn't exactly 'fun', it wasn't unpleasant. Does that count?

[rendtheskies]

Depends on what this "Enkidu" thing is. Sounds like some kind of machine.

[claws_n_teeth]

'Machine' is sort of a word for it, though I prefer to think of it as my 'partner'.

[Now that he really thinks about it... it's sort of sad that his only 'friend' wasn't even sentient. It had never bothered him before, but now, being around people who place a value on interaction...]

Whatever. Just forget I said anything.

[rendtheskies]

[tilts her head a bit. she can tell something's wrong]

All right, if that's what ya want.

[claws_n_teeth]

[You won't get him to admit it. Ever. But it's nice that you notice.]

I guess it is.
