Did you know that in New York, you can't take a selfie with a tiger? Technically speaking, it's illegal for anyone who owns a tiger, lion, leopard, or any kind of cat that's not a housecat to knowingly allow the public to have direct contact with those animals. You know, since they're wild animals.

[Foggy huffs out a laugh. He's having a slow day in the office at the moment, and there's a list of weird laws pulled up on his laptop that he's apparently reading off. He chortles at a couple, shaking his head.]

And hey, here's a good one: in Washington, if you find Bigfoot, it's illegal to kill him. I'm serious! You'd be guilty of a misdemeanor and then you'd end up facing either a huge fine or jail time for killing Bigfoot. I know, it's nuts, but it's the law.

[He snorts out another laugh, leaning back into his chair.]

Anyway, I'm having a pretty slow day and I've reorganized my files twice over for something to do, so I just wanna ask: do you know if your world has any really weird laws?

And, oh, yeah, I think it's around that time new imPorts start coming in, so: welcome to bizarro America! Or just America if it doesn't exist for you. If you have questions, Ken Kaneki Ported out just recently, but his FAQ's still up, and if you ask another imPort for it we'll send you the link.

Either that, or it's a sign I really need to get a hobby.

Hey, by the way, always wondered—do you just look at somebody in the news and make up a profile for them in your head when you're bored?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I do, sometimes. If they spark inspiration.

[He does, a lot. And apparently is more ashamed of the frequency rather than the fact of committing the act.

Then, with a bit of a teasing tone:]

I'm flattered that you're thinking of me, in your spare moments.

[cigarbribery]

So—often?

[A light chuckle.] I've gotta think of something when I've got way too many spare moments. And what you said made me think, 'cause you're not actually wrong, it's a slow day and somehow I ended up neck-deep in legal talk anyway.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Often would be accurate, yes. [He said such without blushing, although his tone remained a bit sheepish. Foggy was onto him.]

I am delighted to play even a mere supporting role in your antics. I hope it wouldn't be too forward of me to ask if you like the conclusions you've thought of?
