Listen up... I'm only gonna ask this once before I get the answer myself.

[There's a half second pause as he breathes in.]

Which one of you assholes stole my tiger?!

[ Yikes, must've struck a nerve there! ]

... You don't have to if you don't want to? I asked because it sounded cool and tigers are rad, but I'm sorry if I came on too strong. I talk to squirrels, if that helps?

[iamtetsuo]

[He's always like that.]

...What?

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

[ Such a charmer, Tetsuo! ]

Squirrels, my dude! I talk to 'em!

Need any help finding that tiger? I can send a bunch of them out to look around.

[iamtetsuo]

You serious? You can make squirrels do shit?

[He's not sure whether to mock this or use this. It's a very, very tough decision here.]

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

I don't make them do anything. I politely ask for help because I'm not a big jerk.

[iamtetsuo]

[Okay, this is too much. All it takes is the mental image of someone crouching down earnestly begging the assistance of a bunch of long-tailed rats to get him to crack up.]

And they actually listen?

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

They do, yeah. We get along pretty well, and they're usually very friendly and obliging.

I'm sorry for the delay

[iamtetsuo]

But they're squirrels! Squirrels are dumb as shit - I ran over one of 'em once!

np!

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Don't say that like it's anything to be proud of. They're way smarter than you give 'em credit for, you just try going up against a car that's twenty times your size, weight and speed, and see how well you do!
