So, uh...

[ Mouse isn't very good at being on camera. He keeps fidgeting and glancing away, down at the rats huddled in his lap and resting on his bare shoulders. A thin tail flicks in front of the camera, and after some encouraging squeaks, Mouse speaks up again, sounding a little more sure of himself. ]

It's getting colder outside, and lots of rats are moving indoors and trying to stay warm. If you see any, don't freak out, and don't call the exterminators or set up traps, okay? I can come get them, and find them a better place to stay.

[ There's a 90% chance that this 'better place' will end up being his bedroom. Sorry, roomies! ]

If you want to be nice, try giving them some baked pumpkin seeds. Not too many though, or they'll get sick.

... I'm Mouse, by the way. Probably should have said that earlier.

You think we could find them a pond or something? And a really small boat?

[fistofthejoestar]

We may have to build the boat ourselves, but at the very least we have the pool in the backyard.

[so, really, the more difficult task is already in the bag.]

[princeofrats]

This is the best plan!

[fistofthejoestar]

[that has him laughing]

I'd wait to see how the boat turns out before celebrating. I've never been particularly good with anything that takes delicacy.

[princeofrats]

They don't care about delicacy. I got them a little dollhouse furniture set once, and they just chewed up all the chairs. They weren't made of metal though, so the boat will probably be better.

In that case we'll both be learning quite a bit about welding in the near future. That ought to keep us busy for a few weeks!
