[d33tached]

[You're not imagining things - that is D33's username attached to a video post on the network. He doesn't appear in frame, though. Instead, the video opens up to a couple of cats snoozing on a couch. D33's voice comes from off screen, deep and flat as usual, stuck in his perpetual monotone.]

Greetings. [He sound about as awkward as you'd expect as he says this. He's really not used to giving greetings at all, but it seems a little weird to just start talking without saying something first.] I am addressing you this evening in regard to an abundance of animals that Kaneki and I have recently found ourselves saddled with. [Is that a pun? Probably not.

[The camera turns, then, to a large fish tank containing one red-tailed black shark.]

The fish is being offered as well as the cats. In addition to that, we've-- Ah. One moment.

[The camera shuts off for a few minutes. When it turns back on, the scenery has changed to that of a barn, in front of which Kaneki is currently being devoured by a hungry goat (it's chewing on his hair).]

Goodness, Kaneki-- Push that thing away from you. [The camera fumbles a little and goes dark, but the sounds of a brief struggle can still be heard until it comes on again. This time, the goat is on the ground, chewing on Kaneki's pant leg instead.

[D33 sighs, turning the camera away from the goat to face a pen containing a couple more goats as well as a few medium-sized pigs. There are a few chickens hopping about as well, pecking at the ground for seed.]

As you can see, we are quite overwhelmed with current situation. All of the animals you have seen filmed are available to be taken as soon as possible--

[Just then, with an excited bark, a cheerful dog bounds into frame, tail wagging as it runs through the chickens.]

Tommy--

Not that one. Come here, will you?

[The video shuts off there.]

((Ooc: Kaneki and D33 will both be responding to tags on this post!))

[Abigail grins widely,not trying at all to hide her amusement.]

D33? Is that really you? Sounds like you. Have you taken up farming?

[She pauses, then lets herself be more serious]

I could take the cats. I think they'd be happy here and get along with Wizkers. And they'd be good company for me.

[d33tached]

[Joke's on you, he's back to texting now that he doesn't have to advertise any animals.]

Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?

No, I haven't. The individuals with which Kaneki and I used to reside have been ported out, thus leaving us with their animals.

Is Wizkers a cat that you already own? I don't believe I've noticed it during my visits to your home.

[am_i_a_monster]

It's unusual for you to use videos.

[She switches back to video, showing her kitten Wizkers playing with a toy mouse.]

He is. His full name is Wizkers Khalifa. And he's beautiful.

Are you keeping Tommy for yourself? I like the thought of you having a dog.

[ghoulking]

They are house cats - they have never been outside.

Would that be alright?

What's the fish's name?

Text

[d33tached]

I haven't the slightest clue. Is it typical for fish to have names?

That seems rather ridiculous to me.

[It definitely does have a name, but he doesn't know what it is. Maybe Kaneki will.]

[ghoulking]

It's Megalodon. [ D33 doesn't know its name, but Kaneki does ]

[ghoulking]

[ kaneki is in the process of trying to get the goat off him, and after he moves to grab Tommy before he hurts one of the chickens. They have far too many animals, he swears-

He finally looks back at D33 ]

What are you doing?

[d33tached]

[D33's lowered the camera by now. He gives Kaneki a confused look.]

I'm recording footage of the animals which you've expressed interested in ridding yourself of. We discussed doing so only this morning.

[littlemissfutility]

Whose were they?

[So many animals, and from Kaneki's place, where Daryl...look. She just wants to know. And if she's more solemn-faced than she normally would be when presented with adorable animals (and, you know, a fish), that's just how it is.]

[ghoulking]

Daryl's, Mako's, Carl's and Enid. Though most of them used to belong to other imPorts as well.

[d33tached]

From what I know, the vast majority of them belonged to an ImPort by the name of Daryl Dixon. He resided in this farmhouse prior to my doing so and for a brief period of time while I was present before being ported out.

Truthfully, I know little of the man.

[Daryl and D33 just sort of kept to themselves when it came to each other.]

[onlydoubts]

How did you wind up with so many animals to begin with?

[ The top of his own dog's head is just barely visible on camera, and Bodhi himself looks thoughtful. ]

[ghoulking]

[ HE WISHES HE KNEW

But ]

They used to belong to other imPorts who have left. My latest housemate kept them all and he was Ported out too, so I wound up getting all of them.

[admemoriam]

[With awe-filled eyes - ]

I want a goat. Can I have a goat?

[ghoulking]

Y-yeah, sure. You can have a goat or two- [ they have two, so REALLY, just keep them all ]

[d33tached]

Why ever you would find yourself interested in such a thing is beyond me, but, by all means, take the both of them if you will.

[He hates those stupid goats.]

[dejerate]

You.....live in a zoo.

[Kaneki had mentioned animals, pets. Yuu just hadn't. Realized how many there were.....]

video;

[ghoulking]

Aha- it's just a farm. The last owner wanted it to be self-sufficient.

[fauxmarth]

Goodness, Dee Thirty-three... [she won't laugh, but she will be amused all the same.] What sort of circumstances led to you having so many animals under your care? I don't think I've seen livestock at all since I've been here, yet there you are with a goat...

[ghoulking]

They are all from imPorts who have left. Somehow I ended up with all of them at the farmhouse.

[d33tached]

Were it my decision, I would have nothing to do with that animal, nor the vast majority of them. [Except for Tommy.] From what I've been told, they were left behind by former ImPorts that used to reside in the farmhouse.

[fehus]

I think you should have just opened a petting zoo.

[d33tached]

You're all quite funny, but we've hardly enough animals to open a zoo, let alone the desire to do so.

[He doesn't get that a "petting zoo" and a normal zoo are two different things.]

[ghoulking]

That would be even more work.
