Since this is the widely available method in which to reach the others who have come here, I will make use of it. I understand people are still settling into Märchenstraße in order to fulfill these roles thrust upon us and my friend and I are able to further assist.

Where we've taken residency, there is a library that holds the various faerie tales and myths we've become part of. Should you wish to know the details of your character and the story they are from, we are willing to oblige in answering these questions.

[Message down, Naoto lowers her quill and looks around at the books she currently has stacked. Perfectly content to not visit town for a while again.]

[OOC: Kanji or Naoto will be answering.]

Must be an unconscious thought. Still, I can't say. This isn't something one can be walked through.

[cancercarcino]

I GUESS NOT.
IT'S STILL WEIRD AS HELL, THOUGH.

[pishirogane]

I'm sure you'll get it.

[cancercarcino]

I'LL HAVE TO.
I DON'T WANT TO ACCIDENTALLY BECOME A MUSCLEBEAST JUST BECAUSE I THOUGHT ABOUT IT TOO HARD.

[pishirogane]

A musclebeast?

[cancercarcino]

YES, A MUSCLEBEAST.
THEY'RE LIKE YOUR HUMAN HORSES MIXED WITH, UH.
A HUMAN ON TOP?

[pishirogane]

That sounds like a centaur.

[cancercarcino]

YES, YOUR HUMAN CENTAURS ARE WHAT WE CALL MUSCLEBEASTS.

[pishirogane]

I see. Though, why musclebeasts?

[cancercarcino]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHY MUSCLEBEASTS?

[pishirogane]

I mean, why call them musclebeasts? Were they just discovered to be particularly strong creatures compared to others where you're from?

[cancercarcino]

WELL YEAH, A FULL GROWN ONE COULD FLATTEN A COMMUNAL HIVESTEM BY FARTING TOO HARD.
AND IT JUST MAKES SENSE TO CALL THEM MUSCLEBEASTS!
WHAT I SHOULD BE ASKING IS WHAT PRIMORDIAL DUMBASS THOUGHT THAT "SQUIRREL" WAS AN APPROPRIATE TERM FOR NUT CREATURES.

[pishirogane]

Squirrel is a simpler term than nut creature. Besides, nut creature could reference another mammal that eats nuts such as a chipmunk or marmot and while they're within the same family, they're not the same animal.

[cancercarcino]

...WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU CLASSIFY EACH INDIVIDUAL RODENT??
WHY NOT JUST CALL THEM NUT CREATURES AND BE DONE WITH IT??

[pishirogane]

Should you ever discuss them, how would you know which nut creature you're talking about?

[cancercarcino]

CAUSE THEY'RE *ALL* NUT CREATURES, DUMB DUMB.

[pishirogane]

[How old is this person?]

So you'll just go the bushy-tailed nut creature or the striped nut creature? Or maybe a flying nut creature? But wait, you could be talking about a bird in that instance.

[Is he beginning to realize how stupid that is?]

[cancercarcino]

[A whole 7.4 sweeps thank you very much]

WHAT?
NO!
THEY'RE JUST NUT CREATURES!
AND BIRDS ARE FUCKING BIRDS, THERE'S HONKBIRDS AND CLUCKBEASTS AND SQUAWKING SPLEENFOWL.

[pishirogane]

[Sweeps? And it is equivalent to?]

So you differentiate them by their sounds?

[That's unfortunate to the deaf.]

[cancercarcino]

[Equivalent to fuck you is what.]

SOMETIMES.
I MEAN, A CLUCKBEAST IS NOTHING LIKE A HONKBIRD, THAT'S LIKE SAYING A WOOLBEAST IS THE SAME AS A HOOFBEAST.

[The deaf are usually culled or die in the brooding caverns so that's not a big issue on Alternia.]

[pishirogane]

To be fair, a sheep does have hooves.

[cancercarcino]

BUT THEY HAVE WOOL!

[pishirogane]

So do llamas.

[cancercarcino]

WHAT THE BARFING FUCK IS A LLAMA?

[pishirogane]

[Further proving her point.]

It's a alpine animal related to the camel. Large, but not as big as a say a horse, with a long face, long neck, and wool covering its body.
