[Betsy is spending her afternoon at a zoo. Which means a cute animal picture is incoming.]

I have a very important question— Which animal do you relate to most?


Just look at this little bugger. Isn't it cute??



Its mood speaks to me today.

[subroutined]

He sits funny.

I don't know if I relate to an animal. Maybe an Irish wolf hound? Because I'm Irish.

[violetnce]

it looks so chill, like it wants a beer and to watch football.

[Obviously she means real football. Not ... what Americans call football. Not something she has to clarify when speaking to an Irish person, obviously.]

That can count, though. No rules here.

[subroutined]

He looks silly. Like we've interrupted him in the middle of something.

I don't think I'm much like a dog, though. Maybe in some ways.

[ He was kept like a pet, that much is true. ]

[violetnce]

Could be that too.

Hopefully in the best ways.

[subroutined]

That depends. What are the best ways?

[showshismetal]

A cat!

[violetnce]

why cat?

[showshismetal]

They are bouncy and agile and cute and fun and purr a lot.

[violetnce]

that's fair :D so a housecat, not a big cat?

[showshismetal]

Yes, or a wild cat.

[ghoulking]

A Cockatie, I think? Mostly because it was the first pet I ever had.

[ghoulking]

Something like that.

[violetnce]

aw :') what was its name?

[ text ]

[ghoulking]

[ uh.... ]

Loser.

Not because he was a loser! It's because that's the only word he could say.

[vanto]

I feel like he's judging me.

[violetnce]

Maybe he has an imPort gossip column to keep up.

'so this purple haired rude bitch took a picture of me today'.

I'm always fond of hounds, but there's something about mules that speak to me.

[violetnce]

Not a bad thing to have speak to you. Cute ears, hard workers.

Lion, f'course.

[violetnce]

Why's that?

[battysitter]

King of the jungle - super strong predator. And with amazing hair, too. [ so, he and lions are totally similar ]

[centelha]

Okapis. They look so happy when they're running free, I just really relate to that. Or maybe envy that? One of the two.

[violetnce]

Little of both, maybe. I wish we could all have such a carefree life.

[centelha]

Carefree, if they survive. They're extinct in countries they didn't use to be. And nobody's sure if they'll ever get back up to their old levels.

But they're very loving towards their family, so I still kind of feel like I relate to them, even with the less pleasant factors.

[violetnce]

Well, I guess I can relate to that too. In my world, my species gets the short end of the stick a lot of the time; we're always going to be feared, hunted, hated.

[centelha]

I don't know if people with superpowers are a seperate species in my world scientifically speaking, but we've had a lot of the same. My country hunted down and killed everyone with powers for thirty years. I was just fortunate enough to not get on their radar.

It's... really depressing to think your world might be heading in that direction. Nobody deserves that. I'm sorry. For what it's worth I don't hate anybody based on species. That concept is just dumb.

[magneticxman]

I'm going to go with elephant. Mostly I just want to eat plants and roll in mud, but if you mess with me I will freaking end you. Then I'll step on you and go back to eating plants.

[violetnce]

[That makes her laugh out loud.]

No answer is topping this. Everyone can go home,
poll closed.

Also now I want a salad.

[magneticxman]

I didn't know there was a competition, but I'm glad I won.

I could go for a salad too, actually. But I can always eat. It's a talent.

[calltheundertaker]

I been told I'm a coyote, but I think that little feller's got the right idea. He just needs a beer and he's ready to chill.

[calltheundertaker]

There we go, now he's ready to chill.

[violetnce]

coyotes are badass.

also, no he's not ready; that's not even real beer.

[her british-ness is so offended rn.]

[calltheundertaker]

I got told it was because we're both 'scrawny scavengers that don't know when to fuck off' but thanks all the same. I ain't so scrawny anymore, but I figure it still works.

I mean, it ain't good beer, I'll give you that, but he don't look like the picky kind.

[Sorry Betsy, McCree is Very American and thus has limited taste in beer.]

[violetnce]

Not knowing when to fuck off makes things more fun though. Especially if it ends in a bar fight.

Why would any human or other animal even drink beer if it's not good beer?? It's fake and nasty.

[calltheundertaker]

Now that you mention it's been a minute since I been in a good bar fight.

He's a meerkat, he ain't got money for fancy beer. Probably just wants to get drunk. Or maybe he likes how it tastes, I ain't going to tell a meerkat what kinda tiny beer he should drink. Pretty sure they eat bugs anyway.

[violetnce]

Wanna find a place to get into a bar fight in sometime? I live in Maurtia Falls, so, prime candidates here.

He should still have standards.

[calltheundertaker]

I ain't usually the picking fights sort, but I'm sure there's some folks I could make an exception for.

Maybe he does, they're just real low. They live in dirt holes, I'm pretty sure their beer standards are "is it booze and does it get me drunk?"

[McCree will not add that those are his beer standards 99% of the time]
