Haha. Don't say I never did anything for you. ♥

[electricflock]

Would never!

[pins the leg down with his whole body weight and starts tearing in, using the sharp tip of his beak like a raptor to rip off strips]

[wants_the_phd]

Are you keeping well?

[electricflock]

Have been well. Usual chores, usual hobbies. Planning to get a tattoo. And Quetzal is better, so I’m better too.

[wants_the_phd]

Planning to get a tattoo?

[electricflock]

Got idea during ritual with the points. Want to cover my whole limbus arm.

[wants_the_phd]

Do you already have a design in mind?

[electricflock]

Was thinking lightning clouds? But haven’t decided yet.

[wants_the_phd]

That would be neat.

Who around here are you going to get to apply it? Or will you do it, yourself?

[electricflock]

[chitters]

Could not do it myself! Would look awful. Need to find artist okay with doing that visible a tattoo. Is big ask! Biscuit recommended Rubato. I thought you maybe.

[wants_the_phd]

I might be able to help you with the design, but I don't know the first thing about applying tattoo. Though if you can get your hands on the equipment, I guess I could start practicing.

[looks at this legless dead deer like "I could probably put some art on this if I tried.]

...No promises about the quality, though.

[electricflock]

[chirps!]

Yeah, still have to quest for it anyways. Stuff Tater and Tot created for ritual is gone now.

[wants_the_phd]

Which is a damned shame. I liked getting stuff for free.

[electricflock]

But got to keep bracelets! I liked those.

[wants_the_phd]

Yeah? Been getting much use out of yours?

[electricflock]

Am saving it for special occasions. But got a lot of use in ritual!

[wants_the_phd]

It was an illuminating experience, wasn't it. I feel like I learned a lot, but still, somehow, not as much as I wanted.

[electricflock]

Was anyone you especially wanted to learn about?

[wants_the_phd]

There are a handful of people I have difficulty understanding, so I would have liked to get a peek at some of their deeper motivations and worldviews. But most of them I either wasn't able to find during the ritual, or I was only able to get a surface-level impression of them. Like our shepherd, for example. We played with each other a little but I don't feel any closer to understanding what his deal is.

[electricflock]

Could spend more time with bracelets? Would be good herd mentality, I bet.

[wants_the_phd]

That's true. I wonder if they'd agree to something like that.

I suspect some of them might, but I don't know about all. I have the feeling some of them hide their hearts on purpose. ...Which is understandable, but annoying to me, personally.

[electricflock]

[gnaws thoughtfully on a strip of venison]

Really good herd mentality. Guess lot of people are like that. Let people see only what they want them to see.

[wants_the_phd]

Which, again, is understandable. There are plenty of reasons not to share your inner thoughts and feelings with others.

But it's also so boring. I've tried so many times to learn more about them, but they nearly always shut me down or give me the runaround. So at this point I'm starting to feel like "oh well. Fuck 'em." --Which I'm sure is the point, and a sentiment they're fostering on purpose. But it makes me feel like the only way to interact with them that would give me any satisfaction at all is if I were to start physically pulling pieces of them off for my own entertainment.

[electricflock]

I um, would much rather talk about feelings than get parts pulled off.

[flits his wings, spreading and closing them like a mockingbird scaring up bugs]

But— ...is shortcut here? For um, making someone open up or taking parts off. Works either. Not all the time, but you know? People do anything if is for Red or Blossom quest.
