2. Domesticated

Feb 07, 2010 18:11

Having recently returned a lost kitten, I find myself wondering: how many of you on the Barge keep pets or other such companions, and of what species?

I ask because I have a quantity of veterinary knowledge and a certain affinity for animals, and would be more than willing to lend my expertise to anyone whose pets appear to be in poor health or low ( Read more... )

The glass "dome" is known as the "Enclosure" or "CES", though I cannot tell you what those letters are meant to represent. It is a place where the nature of the outdoors is replicated for the purpose of increasing a person's comfort and happiness. If you an inmate, however, you will need to be escorted.

How very interesting. Thank you, Miss...?

Miss Elizabeth Bennet. May I inquire as to your name?

Have you recently arrived? I would be glad to offer you further assistance if it is needed.

laws_of_nature February 8 2010, 16:12:57 UTC

I am called Count D. It is pleasure to make you acquaintance, Miss Bennet, and you are quite right; I have only been here a few days.

I have a tribble. I'm a bit worried about her in general, but she seems healthy enough. We are not supposed to feed them, and I she's been modified so I think she won't starve.

Miss Libby tells me that they can live without feeding, although I have not encountered such a trait in any animal before. Does she seem distressed?

They don't emote very well. She purrs just the same as she did when I first got her. And I am certain she was less than a few days old then.

gah sorry this is so late laws_of_nature February 11 2010, 14:56:34 UTC

Animals rarely make a secret of their discomforts, but I could examine her for you, if you wish to have you mind put at ease.

Do you know how to determine reptile sex in a... less invasive manner than is conventional?

Private laws_of_nature February 11 2010, 14:55:07 UTC

I have means. Why do you ask?

Private stopthat_destro February 11 2010, 14:57:20 UTC

Because I've come into possession of an Eastern Indigo Snake. Young, still growing... beautiful. But I'd rather know its sex before I name it. Of course, I could do it myself, but I was told to try asking you.

Private laws_of_nature February 11 2010, 15:12:36 UTC

Ah. Yes, I believe I could spare him or her a little unnecessary discomfort, if you would allow me to pay a visit.
