[well there's still new landmarks to explore, new teammates (and new ragged individuals) to meet. occasional gunfire's been resounding through the woods sometimes, scaring birds up into the air and sending wandering pygmidillos in the meadow askitter.

what are you up to this fine day?]

It looks like you're suffering but trying to act relaxed.

[featherduster]

It's actually way better than laying in all that pointy hay all the time!

[mykidisthebest]

You know what? It does look way more comfortable than hay, I'll give you that. But I don't know why you'd be lying in the hay all the time if you have beds in your barns.

[featherduster]

Our mattresses got kinda bloody a few days ago, so . . .

[mykidisthebest]

It's been a few days! Why haven't you cleaned them yet?!

[featherduster]

[ Thousand yard stare ]

Easier t'throw the whole mattress away.

[mykidisthebest]

[disbelieving gaze]

How bloody are they that you don't even want to clean them? Mattresses are expensive.

[featherduster]

. . . It was raining blood from the sky . . .

[mykidisthebest]

[...it feels like a cruel waste of resources to throw them away, but...]






It might be a lost cause, but let me try to clean one anyways. Just to see.

[featherduster]

What . . . really? I don't see why not, but . . .

[mykidisthebest]

You've got kids in your barn! Have you been making them sleep in the hay? It's important to make sure they get a proper night's sleep, you know. So if you're not going to get new mattresses then you should at least try to clean the ones you have.

[featherduster]

We can just herd mentality some new ones . . .


. . . Do you black collar guys not have that?

[mykidisthebest]

Even if we did have herd mentality I don't think we'd ever get anything out of it. We all pretty much do our own thing.

[featherduster]

[ Tttthinks about Vicious for a second ]

Well, I guess that suits some of 'em.

What about you, though?

[mykidisthebest]

I can make it work. I've been in weirder situations with weirder people.

[featherduster]

[ Sorta just

Looks around ]

Yeah?

[mykidisthebest]

[nods, completely blithe]

Yeah, of course. The talking sheep is a new one though.

[featherduster]

Man, wait til you see the meat flower . . .

[mykidisthebest]

The name kind of gives away that it's a flower made of meat.

[featherduster]

Yeah ................. I don't like it.

[mykidisthebest]

[vash aren't you a plant made of meat]

Why not? We've only got so many fish in the lake, and not everyone knows how to hunt. Being able to get protein from a plant seems pretty good.
