What are the reactions to this question (the question is being asked seriously, but the person is in fact trying to joke around and only reveals that after the person gives the response):

Is a chicken an animal or a bird?

Okay. Decided to treat this like the kids getting texted this. Why? Because I thought it'd be fun.

Hatano -"? bird? " -"am i stupid..." (two minutes later) -"BIRDS ARE ANIMALS" -"right? are you messing around?" (she's kinda unintentionally blunt, but she's having so much fun with this)

Higa -"You arent that stupid." -*if pushed to answer* -"Birds and animals are the same thing, birds are just a more specific category. Unless youre thinking of something more specific, like mammals- and youre trying to reference something like the classification of bats. Is that enough of an answer?" (i think he's going to forever be confused as to why you're texting him in general)

Inori -"birds" -"bc they can get bird flu" -if you question this reasoning -"oh !! look who's shsl biologist now" (sent her first message, then thought she should maybe elaborate. recognized it as a joke, but won't continue the bit endlessly; will start to give you shit for it pretty fast. short answers because she's busy)

Iranami (Takes a good while to respond) -"birds are animals... unless chickens aren't birds, because they can't fly? but penguins are birds, and they can't fly either. so i think chickens should be both." (honestly, may not respond to the question because she doesn't know what to say. thinks you're messing around with her, but doesn't know how to respond in kind)

Kobashikawa -“animal -> birds -> chicken” -“do u want to go eat ?” -“not that i think that’s what you’re asking but it’s on my mind now. we could go downtown.” (Feels the need to demonstrate his taxonomic tree skills)

Kurokawa -“i think they can b whatever they want to b ❤️” (If questioned) -“that is the beauty of being alive !!! tho idk if chickens are cognizant enough 2 ponder self determination. or if they have a word 4 bird. 🐣” (She’s very entertained by the question. Also, note the 2, 4, tho, etc.)

Maeda -“Yeah” (If pushed) -“I mean, like. birds are animals and chickens are birds. therefore, chickens are animals too, because they’re birds. transitive property." “though. I guess that makes you wonder if chickens would still be animals if they weren’t birds? obviously yes, but like… idk, why wouldn’t they be birds, theoretically? if one was born without wings, would they still be considered a bird? again, obviously yes, but idk. it’s weird to think about. what, like... constitutes a bird?" (He’s only sending that third message if you don’t reply immediately- give his brain time to wander)

Maki “??? what does it matter?” “I swear if this is a meme I haven’t seen yet. i Swear.” “can’t wait to see myself screenshotted on twitter” “featuring your fuckass twitter account with seven followers” (This is how she would be with someone she’s friendly with. Silence if she’s only spoken to you a few times/not really one on one)

Mekaru “Hm? Chickens are birds, and birds as a category are animals. Is everything alright? Do you need someone to come get you?” (She’s worried you might be cognitively impaired. Or, more likely, you’re messing with her- but she’d feel bad if she suggested that, and you were injured or something. 

Ōtori “whatever gets them to sell better let’s goooooo” “No but idk. Under what context? Like this is a weird question.” (If you take 20+ minutes to reply) “because” “like” “they’re both” “cause birds are animals” “so…" (Will continue to think about this question until you answer. What are you on about?)

Taira “Idk. Are oranges citrus or fruits?” (Upon reveal that it was a joke) “yeah, i figured” (Will just keep going with the bit. If you don’t end it then neither will she.)

Tomori “Ouh.” “well. what do you think?” (Upon reply) “that is SO true i think i agree!!” (If pushed to answer)  “i wanna say that i think they’re both, but that feels like a cop-out :(“ (Wants to play along but isn’t quite sure of how to)

Tsurugi “OH. well. Chickens are actually the only birds that are also animals too !!! they were given special permission after they ate every last kernel of corn that got thrown into their ancient enclosure, because the kernels were actually magical and blessed the chickens. and thats why everyone loves chickens so much even though they peck and it hurts, its because theyre still magic even now because they havent done anything evil enough to get the magicness taken away” “have you seen all of my chicken things in my room :) i like them bcuz they r yellow !!!! <333 yayyy yellow.” (He’s hijacking the bit. He loves bits! Also, return of Tsurugi’s favorite color.)

Uehara “guess.” “Genuinely. i wanna see your best guess.” (If pushed to answer)  “idk :(“ (If questioned on his lack of knowledge) “i don’t speak japanese that well.. ik chicken but what’s bird + animal ?” (He’s lying to you. He’s fluent in Japanese. Gdi uehara)

Yamaguchi “who gaf they taste good either way” “Uhhh but no lol. chickens are birds and animals.” “And cows are mammals and animals. And sheeps are also mammals and animals. And penguins are also birds and animals but they don’t live on farms. and i don’t know what sound they make.” (I don’t know how to explain this, but this response feels very older brother coded to me.)

[unseeliefaerie]

when will mainstream media be brave enough to let gay villains kiss on tv

[pirate-kwazii]

Watching Ring Of Fire now so here’s more of my thoughts

Is that a fence in the water

Is everyone groaning about the sea urchin and crab or yawning? I can’t tell

Okay I’ve had the Vegimals song stuck in my head for awhile now

Kwazii’s alarm clock shoots tennis balls at him- same

And Dashi starts the day with yoga

Tweaks fell asleep playing video games mood

Shellington what the fUCK

Tf is that- is that lava?!?

Oh ring of fire like the volcanoes- I feel stupid now

They’re doing their role call out of order

What the fuck Kwazii why did you eat 17 kelp cakes

Is the only thing you eat is seaweed

VIDEO TRAINING VIDEO TRAINING

*terrible accordion playing* *everyone winces*

How many cousins do you have peso?!?!

Kwazii: I’m going out and FAST!!!!

Captain: *eyebrow raise*

Kwazii: I mean I’m checking the engine

MORE GUPS?!?!

“Don’t push the Z button” Kwazii is definitely going to press it I bet all 3 of my dollars

Wait why did Peso and Barnacles need a Gup if they were taking the octopod?!

How much time does Tweak have to keep making all these gups?!

Aw Kwazii loves that Gup so much

WHAT IS BARNACLES WEARING WHAT THE HELL NO

Kwazii’s copying it omg-

Shellington and Dashi are such nerd friends it’s actually adorable

Tremors those are probably important

Ring-shape? Like the ring of fire-

Oh no comms are down

A TSUNAMI?!?!

Mateys you should’ve stayed at the Octopod

Kwazii saved Tweak’s life and now it’s flooding

Why don’t they know about the Ring of Fire if they LIVE in the ocean

Oh no the comms are down they can’t reach them!!!!

Damn at least no one is alone...

Of course the Chinstrap Penguins live on a volcano

Well at least Shellington and Dashi are alright and above water so there’s a lower chance of drowning

“How does he know I’m an octonaut?” Maybe it’s because you’re wearing the octonauts colors and the logo all over it

Wow itd be faster to push the stupid thing

Last time you guys followed the screaming sound there was a tsunami

Well at least you found the whales you wanted to find

“I’ve always wanted to see a whale but not like this!” I’d sure hope so Shellington

Of course the volcano erupts

Tweak Kwazii are ya okay?!

THEY DONT HAVE AIR TANKS ON THEM OH NO

TWEAK!!!

Now is not the time to copy Barnacles- holy shit it worked

She just noticed that?!

Shit you guys are stuck

Kwazii beggars can’t be choosers

Why is that the only way to get across Tweak

No Tweak pay attention

ITS ON FIRE

I really hope you guys can hold your breath

She’s pulling a Ladybug and the things she looks at glow now

Improvised fire extinguisher

WHY IS EVERYTHING ON FIRE ARENT YOU UNDERWATER

Eww they landed in seaweed and a banana peel

Why does everyone end in the garbage disposal- sorry compost

Oh he almost fell in-

*opens door and floods room* Guess we’re swimming after all

Tunip leave him it’s natural selection

Grouber just sits and eats during a panic- same

“Lesson Nine- dealing with disasters” what

Why is the background of those videos so bad

I mean it’s rad but also bad

Tunip: *hands the Vegimals a bunch of shovels* good luck

Mateys how did that dirt pile work-

*quickly unplants all the seaweed*

*vacuums the animals*

LEAVE THE SEAWEED YOU HAVE ENOUGH

“You gotta save us!” Why didn’t you get their attention sooner?

Why do none of them notice the volcanoes that they live on/near

We’ve seen the rafts it won’t work

How the hell did you think of that

Is that even possible

They only leave Inkling in charge when legit no one else is there

Kwazii and Tweak: *mimic pirates, rabbits and Barnacles*

Peso and Barnacles: *mimic penguins*

How was the lava that aLMOST COOKED YOUR EGGS NOT A WARNING SIGN

Wow Inkling is not good at this I see why he’s never in charge

Even Kwazii and the Vegimals have managed the octopod better than that

Why is there is Disco Ball

Why does it always switch to the training videos

“Dashi’s so good at this” yeah it’s almost like it’s her JOB

There was a BUTTON FOR THAT EXACT REASON AND YOU DIDNT THINK TO PRESS IT FIRST?!?!?!

Took you long enough jeez

What is they fall off of the “slide”

“Mothers and babies first” anyone else can perish

Well that egg is dead

Oh never mind he got it

WHY DIDNT YOU TWO GET ON THE SIDE TOO TWEAK WOULD UNDERSTAND

I mean she and Kwazii are trying not to be set on fire so I’m sure she’d get it

“I just hope everyone else is okay” well shellington and Dashi are stuck on a volcano that’s exploding trying to get a beached whale out on a very slow Gup, the Vegimals are trying to evacuate the garden, and Tweak and Kwazii are trying to get out of the burning and flooding repair area so no I don’t think anyone else is okay

“This isn’t working” no really Dashi

Oh the crabs know Kwazii that explains so much

Another Training Video?!

The crew all look so nervous when they appear in a training videos

Oh now Dashi and Shellington are mimicking Tweak

Poor Shellington he’s clumsy

“I have to say I.. really like that plan” yea cuz it’s the one that doesn’t involve you burning in the lava

Shellingtons getting a workout in oof

He’s about to fall into the lava

Now the crabs about to fall into the water

Oh god he’s screwed

Crab jump on the whale- now he’s flying

Shellington get out of the lava!!!

Alright some people are safe

Oh never mind the other volcanoes are erupting too

That water level is dangerously high are they gonna be okay

Kwazii don’t phrase it like that it sounds like you’ll die

KWAZII!!!!!

Oh god oh no his tail

Mimicking Barnacles saved the day

TWEAK!!! KWAZII!!!

Oh they are alright thank god

They’re gonna be traumatized from this- *angst time*

“And how will we get up there” Kwazii making good points again

Kwazii with a grappling hook is a terrifying idea please get one

And now they find out the comms are down

Kwazii trying to be helpful

WHY DOES SHE HAVE AN EMERGENCY CARROT STASH

KWAZII GOT ONE TOO

Another video but this ones useless-

TWEAK YOU TURNED OFF THE POWER

They sounded the octo alert together!!!

Babies

EVERYONES OKAY!!!!

OF COURSE THERES ANOTHER ONE

Kwazii and Tweak: ya we’re good

Also them: *trying to not to drown or burn*

They are all gonna connect to each other like Voltron aren’t they

KWAZII DID PRESS IT IM NOT LOSING MY $3 TODAY!!!

Tweak: I got a plan

*crashes through the hatch*

Kwazii: *excited cat sounds*

Yeah they’re going together naturally

“Mega Gup Z” epic naming skills Tweak

“Seat swap” “wait a minute- WHOA”

“It’s completely covered in sea creatures” there’s no way you get all of them

Oh good some are swimming away

“Sit tight” they can’t really do anything else Captain

Do we know where they go after being S U C C E D into the mega Gup z?

And now rocks are everywhere

Kwazii’s excited cat noises are giving me life

Couldn’t the crabs walk away?

Oh no they’re getting stuck in the volcano-

Oh they’re good thank Neptune

Dashi: yea it’s bout to erupt we gotta go

Peso: I saw something inside there we gotta go look

Does Peso want them to die

Of course the animals sound snobby

“Why ever would we do that” CUZ ITS ERUPTING i swear all the creatures have the IQ of a walnut

“I didn’t even make a button for it” bruh

Yeah just like Voltron

Kwazii: *even more excited cat noises cuz he gets to destroy things*

Why do you all name the moves with the word “mantis” in front of them?

They all share one braincell and Barnacles and Peso have it 90% of the time

Tweak gets the other 10%

Everyone else runs on pure chaotic energy

“Tweak Status Report!” Tweak: WE ARE FUCKED

Let Tweak say “Fuck” 2k21

Kwazii: *e x c i t e d c a t n o i s e s*

*throws sea creatures at whale*

*blows up into five gups in massive explosion in front of erupting volcano*

Is all that sea urchin thinks about is food

“You know what I’d like? Dinner” “you know what pal, that sounds great”

“Have the eruptions stopped” “yea but that’s not what I called about”

Is Inkling trying to be more than that guy who sits in his library all day?

Yea it’s not hatching because of the bandage all around it

Please say the egg doesn’t die

Oh it’s alive good

Octonauts: remember that island that got destroyed by a volcano? Would you like to live on an island that volcano created?

Penguins: not really

Octonauts: too bad

Vegitoa? Wow

ITS THAT STUPID SONG AGAIN LAST TIME IT WAS IT MY HEAD FOR TWO WEEKS

“It still felt like we were working as a team” maybe cuz you were all copying each other the whole time

“You really, really need to update those training videos” yeah fair enough

Of course the Vegimals still remember the dance

I see what the hype was about that was a fantastic movie mateys... though everyone’s probably gonna have some problems after that

[celestianstars]

eeeh so I imagine in that scenario that little!reader would wear this cute chiffon pink two pieces or sundress with butterflies! i love this style so much it makes me wish it was summer so much 💕💕💕

but basically you have been on your best behavior all week! taken great care of yourself and prioritized your health and found a balance with your work! 💗 been the pretty, well behaved, smart and sweet you stevie has loved since he first saw you and that deserves a reward! 💗

he takes you out on a shopping spree, wearing your cutest outfit and doing your hair all nice and cute getting you in a mood to get spoiled and be cute will doing so 💗💞 getting whatever catches your attention, your little designer bag swings side by side in your grasp you and your daddy keep a distance from the others to uphold the social distancing 💕

you get bags, shoes, outfits and your nails done but then you pass by a specific store that catches your eyes when you and stevie drive by the city in his sleek black car. 💗 the store has you screaming in joy and stevie almost crashes the car but you just respond with your giggles and tell him with a point to the build-a-bear store when he asked you what’s the matter 💖

so of course you larks the car and he takes you to the store, whatever you wanted you got. he was never going to deprive you from what your gianantic heart wanted and you’ve been begging him that you wanted a new stuffie so this was a fortunate upbringing 💓 going into the store he knew from the sight of the bears and other stuffed animals that you wouldnt be going home with just one stuffed animal.

not by the way your giving him those puppy eyes and that pretty pout that melts his heart 💞 so of course he lets you get as many stuffies you wanted, which lead to as many accessories, shoes and clothes for your precious stuffies 💘 your skirt//dresses helm is catching way too many eyes of the dads at the establishment and it takes as much willpower for Steven to snap back to not look at you that way.

for goodness sake they were undressing you with their eyes and your cute bum peaking out through the designer cloth and the view of your cleavage if you were to lean down would be present. 💘 it’s now that Steven begins to notice that the brushes of your ass against his thigh arent accidental and your hands playing with the belt straps of his trousers arent to keep yourself occupied. 💓 you’re purposely doing this as you innocently told the women what you wanted stitched on the heart of the penguin stuffie as what you wanted your stuffed pig to say 💘

Steven of course can’t do anything about it now but as the minutes went by it lead to him carrying the bags of stuffies to the Bentley. driving through the city with his hand at your thigh, gripping the flesh every now and then that would make you stutter or pause from your conversations with him as you two arrived at the lavish apartment complex 💓

no matter how many bags and trips he’s going to take to get your gifts to your separate room and your shared room with him he’s glad that your smiling that glorious shining smile 💖 it’s pure starlight but he has to teach you a few things from teasing him back at the shop 💓

taking the stuffies into your playroom to introduce them to your other stuffies your fortunately isn’t he same outfit you went in since you were out and daddy!stevie takes actions to stand besides you 💓 waiting to devour you as you slip deeper and deeper into your soft space, just inciting him with the devious vixen sparkle in your eyes.

begging him to make you regret pulling that stunt back at the stuffed animal shop 💗💫 ooh sorry if this is too long!!!

Those outfits are to dieeee for oh my goodness! Exactly the kind of style I want! And omg this was amazingggg and no not too long at all don’t worry! 💕🥰

Daddy!Stevie driving you around in his pretty Bentley getting anything and everything you desire? Pleaseee sign me up that sounds like heaven!

And that’s very much a mood, just teasing very subtly and acting all sweet and innocent while practically asking him to make you regret it with that doe look in your eyes 🥺😈

Your separate room for all your little stuff is very much filled after you and Steve get all the bags inside and you introduce your new stuffies and he lets you give him a little show of your designer outfits he got you and the cute shoes you got with them but soon enough he’s got his hands all over you, picking you up to bring you to your shared room bc you’ve been a tease for long enough today!

Besides he wants to reward you in a different way for being such a good girl all week, he’ll let your antics slide a little this time cause he knows you’re probably a bit pent up as well as he is and he just wants to keep that pretty smile on your pretty little face!

Omggg just thinking about him laying you down on your back and getting his mouth on you, kisses everywhere while you hang onto his biceps and wrap your legs around him and the world just vanishes around you cause all you can focus on his your daddy and the soft groans and honey like words he’s whispering against your skin

You just know you’re in for it when he brings up the fact that you were quite the little tease today and you try and hide your smile but can’t because of the knowing look in his eyes and the way his hands are gripping you 🥺

In loveeee with this and he lets you hold onto one of the new stuffies you got while he teases you right back ahh!

The Lost Waterbender ch 2

The Fire Nation celebrated its victory over the Avatar cycle when they killed the very last Waterbender in the north pole. With no host to be reborn into, the Avatar cycle ended with Avatar Yangchen's execution.

Until 100 years later, when Elsa found that Ahtohallen was more than just memories.

2nd chapter done. I hope you guys like it :) Especially who I introduce.....

[[more]]

Anna stood at the cliffside overlooking the fjord and held on so tightly to Kristoff she knew she was bruising him.

Arendelle’s destruction was absolute. The rushing water had all but swept it away. The castle was in ruins. The relics of her family, surely lost. All of it was gone due to Anna's decision. Now she would have to lead them as Queen, if they didn’t cast her out. She had no idea how she would live up to Elsa's-

She couldn't even allow herself to think too much about Elsa or risk her knees collapsing beneath her. It had been three days and there were no signs of her sister's return. The Northuldra spiritual leader had told her they believed Elsa to be the 5th spirit of their legend and that she had brought balance back to them all.

At cost of her life.

It was all Anna could do to keep moving.

 

When Elsa dropped into the icy water below Ahtohallan, her first thought was she needed to find Anna. The voice she had been seeking was her own.. somehow. The fifth spirit. The Avatar. Elsa struggled to understand. She had lived before? The people from her dreams were her past lives? As soon as the voice spoke to her and unlocked this new certainty inside of her, she had lost consciousness.

Then she had visions of Anna in her dreams, while she was frozen in the glacier. Anna had woken the earth spirits and destroyed the dam. Destroyed Arendelle to calm the spirits and right an ancient wrong. She believed Elsa had died. Elsa’s heart broke, she needed to find her sister and help her. And Anna might be the only one who could make sense of what she had found. She kicked towards the light above her, determined to reach it despite the strong current.

Elsa broke the surface with a gasp.

It was all wrong.

When she caught her breath, she saw she was in a bright, frozen ocean. There were a few floating icebergs, but no sign of the glittering glacier of Ahtohallen. Elsa called out for the Nokk and it didn’t show itself either. She was alone. 

She pulled herself onto an icy platform and faced the sky. It was clear. The sea was calm, not at all like the dark sea she had crossed. Her heart lurched with questions. Had she drifted that far beneath the icy water? How long had she been inside of Ahtohallen? Is Arendelle really gone-

Her breath was coming in short gasps and she crossed her arms over her chest. Breath. 'I need to focus on something else.' She forced herself to slow down.

Ice sprang from her fingertips into the air and exploded into the bright fractal patterns that she loves, high above her. 'Alright, that still works at least.' she thought. She tried to empty her mind and focus on the ice for a while. 'Anna is safe for now. I am safe for now,' she thought.

It was odd that the Nokk didnt respond. She thought it would be waiting on her. Even odder was the calming of the dark sea and that she couldnt see Ahtohallen anymore.

She settled on not worrying about it for now. She only needed to get home. If the spirits had changed something about the world, it would be clear soon enough.

Watching the ice twist above her reminded her that of course she didn't need the Nokk or anyone else to get home anyway. If she could get back to land she could figure this out and she would be back in no time.

She stepped off the iceberg, the touch of her feet freezing the water beneath her.

“No matter, I can walk to land.” Saying it out loud made it real. She tried to shake the feeling of wrongness. She just needed to see Anna.

“Aang, this is the worst idea you have ever had,” said Sokka, “and youve had some pretty bad ones.”

"Just a few more days here. You saw the Fire Nation ships. They know something has changed too." Aang said, "Besides, arent you supposed to be descended from the water tribe? Where's your 'icy constitution' now?"

"Being related to the extinct water tribe doesnt make me immune to the cold! Especially since you keep hogging all the food and wouldnt let me bring any meat. How am I supposed keep going?" said Sokka, laying flat on his back in Appa's saddle.

"How about I set you down and if you can hunt us one of those tiger seals down there, I will personally cook and eat it with you. I promise." Aang smiled back at Sokka before focusing his gaze back to the ice. His friend was right though. They had been flying Appa over the frozen ocean for three days and seen nothing but penguins, ice, and blue water. It was starting to worry him.

"If we don't miraculously find your Avatar soon, the monks are not going to be happy about our sky bison heist. We can't stay out here forever. I told you all I knew about Ahtohallen from my grandmother and even she never thought it was actually real, just a fantasy for a dead tribe." Sokka continued, "We have to talk about giving this up and trying to beg the monks for forgiveness." Aang wasn't listening anymore, he was looking at a Fire Nation ship far in the distance that wasn't moving. "-we havnt been gone that long. We can just pretend Appa got stuck in a tree and we were saving him-"

"Sokka stop."

"No really, the monks can't prove we went all the way to the south pole with one of the last sky bison-"

"Sokka look at that Fire Nation ship. They never bother to patrol this deep into the ice anymore. What do you see?" Something in Aang's voice got Sokka's attention. He grabbed for the spyglass and aimed it where Aang pointed. Sokka was completely silent for nearly a minute and Aang held his breath the entire time.

"They are fighting someone," he said, voice shaking. "I think its... its a waterbender." He didn't need to tell Aang the significance of that.

Aang nearly shouted. He pulled Appa around and urged him towards the ship as quickly as possible before grabbing his glider. He hoped they weren't too late.

[agentoperationblackout]

Part two of an archive of a conversation between three EPF agents.

721: so… if you don’t mind me asking………

053: pfft its no problem dw

053: obviously i wont tell you exactly who they are cause even if im wrong thats gonna possibly endanger them

053: but like… you know how our usernames have numbers and stuff?

053: they used to correspond to when you joined

053: like thats why REALLY old agents have lower numbers, like me!

053: like agent d for example, shes been working here for a super long time right?

053: ive talked to her before, her number is in the 20s

053: to put things in perspective, jpg is in the 60s

053: and im obviously 053

721: woahhhh

721: wait but there’s no way theres over 700 agents, i feel like things would be really different if that were the case

053: yeah! like i said this was the old system

053: once they migrated to the epf they obviously lost a lot of info from the psa

053: which included the system and how they regulated this to make it automatic

053: at that point with everything else that was going on, g probably just gave up on what was effectively an organizational system

053: there were bigger issues to deal with as you could imagine

053: so now you just get randomly assigned a number thats not in use

053: which means you could get agents who just joined after the popcorn explosion who are number like 998 or somethin

053: and also have agents who just joined before the blackout have like 012 just because the original holder of that number retired or somethin

053: just to name a few examples

721: woah…

721: okay that’s all super cool but what does it have to do with who The Agent is?

053: im getting to that

053: youve read the reports right?

053: i dunno if those are mandatory to read or anything since obviously they didnt exist when i first became an agent

721: wait which reports

721: sorry there’s kind of a lot

053: oh sorry yeah

053: the missions having to do with herbert

053: like when he tried to chop down the ski ledge

053: or when he dug all those holes under club penguin

053: they arent special clearance i dont think but im not sure

721: i think some are since when i’ve read through them there’s always gaps

053: oooo yeah

053: i actually have special clearance since ive worked here so long

053: doesnt really matter anyway though since i lived through most of it

053: but like one detail i always noticed about the reports is that they always omitted the name of the agent doing those missions

053: i know the way our agency works

053: they would have assigned the same agent to deal with herbert pretty much every time

053: cause like

053: that way they wouldnt have to reexplain things to the new agent

053: plus that agent would already know how herbert works and could figure him out better

053: now, i dont know if they were gonna do it anyway, it was some error, or if the agent in question requested their identity be omitted in the reports

053: but im SUUUPER leaning towards the agent in question requesting their identity being omitted

053: since im pretty sure that The Agent is the one who’s dealt with herbert for so long already

721: wait you’ve lost me sorry

053: no its alright!

721: why do you think that The Agent is the same agent who was in the missions with herbert? Sorry

053: no its fine! i should have made that clear eheh

053: so like, think about what we know about The Agent

053: what comes to mind?

721: uhh…

721: they were close with the director, they’d have to be really high up for the director to trust them with that chat client thingy they were using

721: especially since they said that thing about assuming control of the epf, also they knew for sure before the rest of us the director had been taken

721: they seemed pretty insistent on people not knowing their identity, don’t know why that would be though

721: from what i can tell they know herbert and how he operates pretty well

721: also overall they seemed to really know what they were doing and the protocol and stuff

721: oh yeah they mentioned they knew some high up agent that was captured but that might just be the director

721: then again if that were the case they probably would have just said “the director”

721: from the way they talk they clearly value the epf and our island above anything else, even more so than most agents do

721: that’s… that’s about it honestly

053: mhm i came to the same conclusions about them

053: now, and this might be a bit harder,

053: think about what we know about the agent who faced herbert so many times

053: and also what kind of penguin would they probably be

721: hmmm

721: they’d have to be pretty good at thinking on the fly

721: and if i remember right from some of the reports, they had a rather unorthodox way of solving problems?

053: indeed

053: they’d do some of the most irrational things and always end up on top

721: jet pack guy must’ve hated it

053: oh he did dont worry

721: okay also uh…

721: they’d have to be pretty smart i guess? or just know herbert really well in general if they were able to beat him so many times

721: hmm…

721: i don’t remember the details of the missions so well off the top of my head i’m sorry

053: nah its understandable!! you newer agents must get really overwhelmed with just how much stuff you have to read through

721: yeah…

053: but yeah youre pretty much right

053: and looking at it it just… makes sense?

053: like forgive me i know i sound like a conspiracy theorist but it just all fits together so nicely if the agent is also the same agent who just went against herbert so much 053: i forget where i was going with this

053: i am so sorry give me a minute let me read back what started this

721: omg it’s fine!! this is all so interesting :O

721: also it’s nice to see you so excited about something!!!

053: eheh im glad you think so!

053: awww sappy

053: what can i say, this has always been just what im interested in

053: its just been such a nice reliable constant thing, its nice

053: i mean, ive told you why i joined, havent i?

721: yeah and i still wanna hug you for that

721: you didnt deserve that crap

053: eheh…

053: thanks…

053: but yeah its just

053: i guess im doing what an agent should never do

053: but it’s just what seems and feels right?

053: i think ive said before but im a big believer in cosmic fate and destiny and things like that

053: so i dunno

053: i guess it’s just a nice idea that the same agent who first met him could still be fighting against him now

053: especially in a time like this

053: if i have nothing else to hope for, i wanna hang onto this

053: i believe in the agent. i really do

053: gah, im sorry, im really rambling now arent i!!!

053: i didnt mean to go on such a tangent whoops

721: :00000 no it’s really okay!!!!!

721: like i said it’s really nice seeing you be passionate about stuff really anything

721: i’m sorry if this comes across as rude or anything but you just… always seem so distant i guess

721: i always worry about you, but… kat said this was just how you were and that i shouldn’t worry…

721: but i always did anyway

721: so i really am glad to see you enjoying yourself like this

053: aww, thank you

Other excellent candidates.

SEAGULL. Must act LIKE a seagull- ie. stealing all food from NPCs and PCs whereever possible. Unbelievably loud cawing at 6am

SWAN AND/ OR GOOSE. Must act LIKE seagull and/ or goose I.e terrorising everyone and everything. Hisses.

GIANT ISOPOD. Can be summoned on land or water, but for limited time on land. Every NPC is fucking terrified of it and suspects that your player is the antichrist. Most DnD games take place in functionally medieval towns. Can you imagine your just chilling and this stranger puts a giant hellspawn on your table. He's just chilling though and hes good at exploring underwater enviroments. Your best friend :))

ROADRUNNER have you SEEN these things. Have you seen how they run. Their little head crests. Its so funny to me to imagine a grand wizard in a fancy cape and one of these fuckers running behind him

In fact, LITERALLY ANY SNAKE HUNTING BIRDS. With their silly long little legs. SECRETARY BIRDS are a prime example. BLACK NECKED SILTS are marsh birds, not snake hunters but they have silly legs so im putting them here anyway. AVOCETS also. HERONS and especially PELICANS. I imagine so many creative on game uses for their big big mouths.

GIANT AUSTRALIAN BAT/ FLYING SILVER FOX. Enough cute little fruit bat familiars (sorry fruit bats ily). More bats the size of a five year old child. Can you imagine how unhinged it would be.

NAKED MOLE RAT

PLATYPUS. Now i know what your thinking. This is a lot more tame than some on this list. And they're so cute and a bit wish fufillmenty right? And you're correct. But the platypus has two redeeming elements. 1. You are playing in fantasy medieval times. NOBODY on gods green earth has any idea what this creauture is possibly including your character. WAIT HAS FUR AND LAYS EGGS? All the party are worried its possesed or smth but its literally just a platypus. Also 2. Venemous. Need i say more.

FLY. Only for the brave of heart. Incapable of affection. Terrible vision. You could use it for stealth but the BZZZZ gives you away everytime and it has 1 hp. Everyone is convinced your player is a stinky boy because he constantly has a fly on him. No upsides. But it IS funny.

MORE WEIRD BIRDS. SPOONBILL. HOOPOE. WESTERN PAROTIA (with their silly mate dances!) VOGELKOP SUPER BIRD OF PARADISE (with /their/ silly mate dances!!!!) GREAT CRESTED GREBES. GREATER SAGED GROUSES. PHEASANTS. ROCKHOPPER PENGUINS. A MOTHERFUCKING FLAMINGO!!!

...op really likes birds you guys.

NEWT

MANED WOLF (player insists it is a malformed fox. Nobody sure whether to believe them.)

ELEPHANT SEAL

DIKDIK

TAPIR

ECHIDNA (can deal piercing damage in battle!)

PORCUPINE (can deal piercing damage in battle! Also to the player. Porcupines are really big in person you guys.)

TARSIER (would you get persuasion advntage or intimidation advantage???? I feel like you should get one but which i have no clue. Take psychic damage if you look ag its eyes for over 3 minutes. Theyre hypnotising.)

JUST LITERALLY A REGULAR MOLE. Vision is bad, but advantage on all dogging related checks.

ARMADILLO

ANTEATER

WOMBAT

POISON FROG (To prevent it from being overpowered, the DM only let's you use it once, but whoever you use it on is insta killed. If the player handles it for more than 5 minutes consecutively they also insta die.)

AYE AYE

CAPYBARA

OKAPI (bonus points if DM let's you ride them)

Literally a regular HORSE but the player sticks an ice cream cone on his head everytime they summon him and everyone has to roll an insight check to see if they are convinced

MARKHOR (bonus points if DM let's you ride him :])

FAINTING GOAT (has to roll a con save everytime they are mildy frightened. If failrd they are down for the next round).

DODO (Extinction isnt real and you can help)

PTERODACTYL (Extinction isnt real. The dramatic sequel. (If anyone says "arent they Extinct?" they instantly go to 0hp and cannot be resummoned.))

SAIGA ANTELOPE (bonus points if DM let's you ride it)

FOSSA (can be used in battle to unleash hell, if pursuaded to listen.)

QUOLL

TENREC (its just so so funny to me look at it can you imagine a grand high wizard or warrior pulling one of these bois out their cloak can you)

JAPANESE SPIDER CRAB (NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE. ADVANTAGE ON ALL INTIMIDATION AND PERSUASION CHECKS.)

SUNDA COLUGO (Advantage on all persusation checks look at its sad wet little eyes).

RAT- hey this one is pretty tame? I thought you said rats were boring. Yes but. If you put them on your head you get advantage for all and any cooking checks :P

AARDWOLF

AARDVARK

BILBY

RACCOON DOG (ADVANTAGE ON PERSUASION THEYRE SOOO CUTEEEEE)

WORM/ SNAIL (1hp. 1 move speed. Why???)

Strongly believe that people should be getting sillier with their dnd familiars

The original - Chapter 1

Min Jung-Soo, more known for his stage name of Sydney was attending a college to major in choreography. He had moved the few things he owned into a dorm that he was going to share with someone else that he had not yet met. He was practically bouncing with excitement at the thought of having a roommate other than his own family members. He set his bag down next to the bed he had claimed. He then spread his bedding over it, the sheets being a faded pastel pink color and the cover baby blue along with the stripped pilllow. He sat on the edge of his bed, swinging his feet as they were too far back for him to touch the floor.

Oliver had really hoped his roomate was from canada. They would be able to connect then more no? He made his way to the dorm door with his twin sister Olivia and heard small movement inside, so he figured he should knock. Almost as soon as he did the door opened, and he was met with a slightly smaller figure. The other was korean too, just like Oliver.

Jung-soo registered the other, giving a small smile then bowing almost on instinct. He looked up. "Are you my roommate?" He asked slowly, almost as if to make sure he was using the right words. He was pretty fluent in English but sometimes nervousness got the best of him. He smiled a bit, also bowing to the girl that...looked almost identical to his roomate.

The shorter female looked up at the other, beaming with happiness and nodding over at her brother. Oliver seemed to be observing Jung-soo, not seeming to pay attention to his twin that was tugging on his sleeve.

"Oli!" She pouted upwards at him and frowned. "Stop doing that, it creeps people out. Remember your last roommate? She said she was uncomfortable even reading near you." Olivia continued to spout, Oliver not seeming to break the trance until he lifted her up teasingly and glared over at his fellow peer. He said a simple hello, waving as he peered inside.

"You already claimed a bed? Probably the good one..." He murmured. "Did you just get here, or?"

"Actually, I claimed the smaller one because I wasn't sure if you wanted the more comfortable one or not. I got here around 30 minutes ago." Jung-soo explained, stepping aside to let the other in. Had he already said something rude to his new roommate? That would be getting off to a bad start. He said nothing as he let the other look around.

Oliver nodded, going back outside to get his things as his sister looked around the room in curiosity. She was like a child in a candy store: excited, curious, touching...everything.

"Hey, what's your name? How old are you? Do you play any sports? Oli started playing lacrosse once we moved here..." Olivia blabbed on, her brother looking at the two and snickering under his breath and putting everything down. He didn't seem to speak, simply keeping his usual stoic stare and closed mouth.

"J-Jung-soo. I'm 19. I don't play sports but I dance..." he answered the questions as fast as she fired them, almost as if used to the bombardment of questionnaire. He chuckled a bit, running a hand through his smooth hair. A bit stressed but overall happy, no matter how tired or shy he was. "I moved here from South Korea on a dance scholarship." He explained, struggling a bit with the last word.

"Oi, you're old," Oliver chuckled from behind, his sister rushing to him for an embrace. "But hey, you're lucky that you got a scholarship. I've been saving up for this right after I graduated...but we're all equals, right?" He tilted his head as to ask for Jung-soo's approval of his claim, sticking his tongue out teasingly. His sibling bounced around, looking up at Oliver's roommate and grinning with delight as she played with a stuffed penguin Oliver had brought with him.

"Definitely." Jungsoo nodded and laughed a bit. "I had to save up forever to get the plane ticket. Honestly glad I'm here." He smiled a bit, and laughed a bit as the girl bounced around, her energy becoming somewhat contagious. "That's a cute stuffed animal." He commented on the penguin.

Oli flashed him a quick smile before peering back over at his sister. "She has her own giant collection at home, but she always likes mine," He explained quietly as he walked over and sat on his bed. His sister beamed up at him and giggled, making it clear that no matter how old she was, Olivia would always be a child. He rubbed her head quietly, asking if she wanted to leave early so her friend could pick her up. She seemed to pout and looked at Jung-soo, rushing to him quickly to say goodbye along with a small hug.

He said goodbye and returned the hug, surprised at the sudden physical contact. He smiled. "I had a bunch but I had to leave half of them at my cousin's house.....I really like them though. I don't know why." He chuckled a bit. "Uhm....do you need help unpacking?" He asked Oliver suddenly.

Oliver watched his sister leave, smiling as he shut the door. He shook his head in response and began to unpack by himself as he hummed something under his breath. A man of few words he was, simply glancing over at the boy every few minutes. Only when he was done did he speak.

"So...Jung-soo, right?"

"Ah ! Yes." He nodded slightly. "Min Jung-soo." He answered the others question as he finished the last of his unpacking, mostly just school supplies left. He didn't seem to own much although that was somewhat normal I guess. He unpacked his house slippers and sat down, slowly taking off his sneakers and sliding his feet into the house slippers, setting his sneakers near the door.

"Korea?" He questioned, knowing the answer already. "My name isn’t as...well, traditional to my origins." Oliver let out a slight chuckle as he looked over at Jung-soo quietly. "Did I already introduce myself? I’m Oliver..."

"Nice to meet you Oliver!" He chuckled and smiled a bit. "most people have assumed I'm from China or Japan which is funny if you ask me. Names are completely different." He shook his head a bit as he laughed. "Oliver is still a nice name though." He looked around the house questioning what to do next. "Should we go grocery shopping today?"

Oliver sighed, changing his shirt quickly and nodding. "You’re not allergic to anything, correct?" He asked as he got his wallet out. "Because I’m getting a giant jar of peanut butter cookies. And I’m not sharing...."

"Ah. No need to share. I can't have nuts." He laughed a bit. "Some foods give me migraines but it's are really the only things I'm allergic to that I need to watch out for. You can have it in the house and stuff but just be sure to keep it on a separate shelf please." He explained, grabbing a black jacket to go over his beige turtleneck.

Oli nodded quietly as he opened the door once more. His sister was just leaving, getting into her friend's car. "Soo...I don’t have a car." He giggled sheepishly. "Where’s you’re...?"

"Well I have a motorcycle. I got it recently. I used to take the bus." The other admitted, almost as if embarrassed about it. He chuckled. "If I get my backpack we can carry the groceries home." He suggested.

Oliver pouted, knowing he would have to ride in the back. He nodded nonetheless and waited for the other still, looking through his wallet for cash and sighed. "You have an extra helmet? My hair's going to fly everywhere..."

"Yeah. I do." Jungsoo showed the male a white helmet that looked like it had black stars splattered across it. "Is this good?" He asked, showing the helmet to the other. He pocketed his mouth mask, not wanting to forget it even if he wasn't in Korea anymore. He could still be identified anywhere else. He grabbed his wallet and phone.

"Oi, hurry your ass up." Oliver rolled his eyes, nodding over at the helmet and sighing. He was more impatient than others, as far as his sister had told him. Oliver simply hated to wait.

"Okay okay. Let's go." JS laughed and grabbed the keys, slipping on his shoes and opening the door for Oliver. He didn't want to be impolite by making the other wait long, so he'd try to make it up.

Oliver huffed and crossed his arms as if a child that didn't get the toy it wanted. "C'mon hurryyyy!" He whined. He saw that Jungsoo had put on a mask and tilted his head confused.

"Why the mask? You arent like a superhero in disguise or something?"

"No, i just get regonized a lot. Famous dancer. Even more in America than i do in Korea. It's ridiculous." Jung-soo laughed as they started to ride off.

Oliverr had a good feeling.

So, You Got a VR Rig. Heres All the Other Stuff You Need

Virtual reality presents a new set of rules and conditions for its users. Television and movies are passive, but VR requires one to be active, engaged, and immersed in a virtual environment that renders them blind to the one theyre actually in. As a result, the VR viewer needs some additional gear. Here’s a list of devices and accessories to enhance your VR experience.

01

Swivel Chair

The chair is to VR what the couch is to TV. Youre going to want something comfortable to sit in while you explore the virtual world. It should swivel, provide ample lumbar support and have a comfortable recline. The Gesture, by Steelcase, checks all of these boxes. Not only that, but it has a sleek design and comes in a variety of colors. $998 and up.

02

Bluetooth Headphones

Seeing isnt the only component of believing when it comes to VR. Sound is crucial to cultivating an immersive viewing experience. Mobility is important too. You dont want to get tangled in a cord while beheading zombies or flying through space. The Bluetooth-enabled Siberia 840 from SteelSeries meets both of these requirements. The immersive sound stage fully surrounds you, and the cushy memory foam ear cups provide maximum comfort. $330

03

Headset Cover

One of the biggest complaints about VR headsets is their lack of comfort. Spending just 10 minutes with a computer strapped to your head can leave your face feeling sore. VR Cover makes these little sleeves with foam padding for the Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive headgear. If you have a PSVR, sorry, youre out of luck right now. $29

Grip Socks

Picture this: youre in a crazy virtual world and something sneaks up behind you, jolting you backward unexpectedly. If youre wearing regular socks, theres a real possibility you’ll slip and fall. That wont happen when wearing grip socks. With their little rubber nubs to provide traction, Barre Harder’s socks are primarily designed for yogis and ballet dancers. Maybe they should start marketing these to VR users too. $14

Voice Assistance

Repeatedly putting the headset on and taking it off is a chore, especially if you just want to check the time or your email inbox. If you have Alexa in the room, Amazons digital assistant can do that stuff for you. Just ask out loud and you shall receive. $180

Futon

Creating the ultimate immersive setup comes with one downside; you may enjoy it so much that you overdo it and wind up with VR-induced motion sickness. While lying down isnt a total cure, the best way to recover from the woozies is to take a load off and stare at the ceiling for a bit. This Splitback Sofa Bed gives you the option to lie down, sit upright or lean back. Plus, it’s great seating for guests while they watch and wait their turn. $1,255

Water Bottle

A simple task like drinking water is a lot more difficult when you have a headset on. Youll need a straw to make sure you dont spill all over yourself. Any water bottle with a straw can do the job, but this one is insulated, compact, and BPA free. $29
