[trapperkeeper]

[So it's just Lann hanging out in front of the temple of Asteria.]

Hey has anybody just found cool stuff laying around in their god's temple? Stuff that wasn't there the day before, I mean.

[He angles the camera a little to one side to reveal a large purple..... actually what even is that? ]

I found this guy in our fridge the other day.

[Lann doesn't bother explaining how that thing could fit in a fridge in the first place. Instead he then shifts the angle upward. Perched happily on top of his head is this cute little guy. ]

And this one was in my shoe yesterday morning. Pretty neat, huh? I wonder where they came from...

Have you considered mousetraps?

Re: text

[trapperkeeper]

They were kind of already trapped when I found them. In these little round things.

[reformedsinner]

You may still have an infestation!

Although I don't recognize the species.

Re: text

[trapperkeeper]

[There is a very long pause.

The pause is because Lann does not know the word 'species.' FInally he takes a guess. Because it's always better to pretend you can vocabulary even when you can't.]

I think the big one back there is a boy. Not sure about the bird.

[What. Hakkai blinks at the screen in confusion before backtracking a little.]

What kinds of animals are they?

Switch to audio

[trapperkeeper]

[Oh! Okay this one he knows.


............


Wait......]

Hang on a sec

[He switches to audio. Because how do you even spell 'behemoth?']

The big one is a behemoth. And the little one is a chocochick.

audio

[reformedsinner]

Choco-chick?

[He knows the word behemoth, of course, but not as an animal species. Since he doesn't recognize either of them...

... well, he's fairly sure they must be native to this boy's world. He wouldn't be the first to have strange animals appear.]

Are they friendly?

Re: audio

[trapperkeeper]

Yeah, dude. I know the big guy back there looks scary, but he's cool.

audio

[reformedsinner]

I'd be very careful about being late with his supper if I were you, but that's nice to hear!

Are you planning to make pets out of them?

Re: audio

[trapperkeeper]

Good point..

[A slightly nervous chuckle as he considers just how big and sharp the behemoth's teeth are. But Hakkai has pretty much nailed his plans for them.]

Yeah, dude. I mean, what else am I gonna do with them? I just gotta figure out what to to call 'em first.

[reformedsinner]

Behe-kun and Choco-kun?

[Aren't those just diminuitives of the species names?

Well, Hakkai's really bad at names.]

[trapperkeeper]

Hmm...

[Lann is giving those suggestions serious consideration though.]

Behe-kun sounds a little weird. I think he needs something more.... scary. I like Choco-kun though...

[reformedsinner]

Hmm.

"Purple-kun"?

[trapperkeeper]

Dude, since when is purple scary?

[reformedsinner]

Isn't it? Oh. [He sounds genuinely thoughtful.

Is purple a scary color? Who knows!]

What would be a good scary name?

[trapperkeeper]

Uh, I dunno... Fang? Or Jaws, maybe?

[Yeah he's not good at this either.]

[reformedsinner]

Jaws isn't bad. You could call him Beardy, too.... Oh, that isn't scary either, is it?

[trapperkeeper]

Probably not. I don't think that many people are scared of beards. But I would definitely be scared of this guy's fangs or jaws.

[It does have a very large mouth and probably a nasty bite.]

[reformedsinner]

Ha ha, that makes sense. And I suppose "Horny" wouldn't work, either...

[trapperkeeper]

He does have pretty big horns.

[Probably not appropriate though.]

[reformedsinner]

[Probably not.]

But you'd want a name that you can call on the street if he hasn't come home in time for dinner.

[trapperkeeper]

I don't think I'll have a problem getting him to show up for dinner. Buuut... still a good point.

[He hums thoughtfully, then nods.]

I think I'll go with Fang. He looks like a 'Fang.'
