Just curious who my other guards are, specifically on the S&R and Surveyor guards.

Like to know who's on my team.

I mean like. Could you have an attack animal that you take with you, keep it put somewhere safe until you need it. Throw an attack tiger at someone's face, ya know?


[Listen, she's suddenly very interested in attack tigers being thrown from seemingly nowhere.]

[alchemyfreak]

You could just get a pokemon for that,
they store in balls until you need them.

[whosthemonsternow]

I mean.
Yeah.
I could do that.
Of course I could.

[Don't mind her, she's just going to look up what the fuck a pokemon is, no big deal]

[alchemyfreak]

[He's sensing that she has no idea what he's talking about, but he kind of expected as much since she seems pretty new.]

They're pretty easy to catch with the right bait. I'm no expert but there's a guy here that offers classes on them so I guess he is one.

[whosthemonsternow]

Class. Yeah, hard pass there.

I'll just wing it.

[alchemyfreak]

He gave me all the information I needed in conversation. Where to get the balls to catch them and all that.

[He'd been quick to dismiss the class subject too.]

Once you have that I don't think you need much more. We have a few on our floor, they seem to be getting along okay.

[whosthemonsternow]

I might have to talk to him, then. Be good to have an attack animal.

Can they be kept as pets, too?

[alchemyfreak]

Yeah, they're pretty handy companion animals.

One of mine's a giant snake, so that one stays outside usually.

[whosthemonsternow]

Thanks for the info, kid

[alchemyfreak]

[He should be used to this, and he almost dismisses it but figures it'll just get confusing later if he leaves it alone. He doesn't know how old she is and some people just use kid pretty casually, but-]

I'm nearly 22, you know.

but sure, any time.

[whosthemonsternow]

And I'm nearly 30 so

[alchemyfreak]

Last I checked 21 wasn't a kid, that's all.

[whosthemonsternow]

You've been a legal adult, what, 3 years? I've been an adult over 10. You're a kid

[alchemyfreak]

Legal adult's little more complicated than that where I come from.

[but whatever, they've established she's going to view him as a kid either way and he's gotten pretty used to that here so he's not going to argue the point further.]

[whosthemonsternow]

How so?

[Regardless, he'll still be a kid, but she's curious]

[alchemyfreak]

When you factor in the age of "legal adult" is different on every world I've been on including this one, the fact that I went from being maybe 17 for four years without aging and the fact that I enlisted in the military at 12 it's all pretty complicated.

[whosthemonsternow]

...Yeah okay, that's. Intense.

Still. You'll be 'kid'. Younger than me, you're 'kid'.

[alchemyfreak]

Right.

As long as we're on the same page.
