Third Floor Common Room; Monday Morning [05/17].

There was, that morning, a low, disgruntled humming sound emiting from deep within the throat of the young, broad-shouldered man stooping slightly to peer into the refrigerator that seemed to no longer hold any of the fine produce and ingredients that he had picked up for Monday morning breakfast anymore, but instead held a lot less and nothing that seemed particularly appetising.

Least of all because Wayne got this distinct feeling that things had changed again, and, really, now, if you were going to be a weird island with things like aliens and talking cats and dogs and magic and whatever the fuck else, it seemed that the least you could do was just stay the same type of weird for a while instead of going and mixing it up and giving everyone fucking whiplash all the time. It just seemed impolite; get your shit together, island. Clean it up.

The cabinets didn't seem to fare much better, though he did find a few bags of potatoes and an exorbitant amount of potatoes (not very good potatoes, really, they were some of the saddest potatoes he'd ever seen, but they'd do) and canned gravy in there.

And if a good old Canadian country boy like himself couldn't make do with potatoes and gravy (and some mystery meat, too), well, then, he might as well just turn in his citizenship right now, pack up, and move on out to El-Laaaay to go eat tah-cos and go hiking, fuck.

Vette blinked, and then broke into a little laugh.

"Besides delicious?"

This was a helpful reply, right?

"Big, big shaggy desert animal. People keep them as transport animals and for food, mostly."

"I... have no idea what a camel is," Vette admitted, smiling a little crookedly. "Maybe? Do people eat camels?"

chirpchirpchirp: (Think Think)

"Ohmygosh," Vette whispered as she leaned in for a good look. "They're so round!"

Look at those big squishy camel bellies!

"... But those don't look anything like bantha do. Those are closer to eopies, maybe, only eopies have little trunks." She considered for a moment, and then added, "Bantha are much more broad, all over. Maybe as tall as the ceiling in here, but they do have the four legs, and big curling horns?"
chirpchirpchirp: (Joking)

"Ooh, the horns are right on," Vette said, nodding with enough enthusiasm that her lekku flopped around behind her. "Buuuut yeah, you want something way more heavy-set than that. Those spindly little legs would never hold up a bantha."

Vette blinked as she looked at the picture.

"Oh, wow," she replied, nodding. "Make it even more shaggy than that, and you've got almost the perfect body shape, actually. Then you give it a big long tail that kinda drags like a lizard's, and a mouth sort of like a frog's."

Bantha!
chirpchirpchirp: (Oh Yeah)

"Deathsticks, probably," Vette replied with a shrug. "I don't know, but if you think bantha are weird, maybe I shouldn't tell you about rancors or acklays."

Was she smirking? She was smirking.

"Maybe someday I'll be able to get home again, and I'll totally drag everyone to a zoo to prove I'm not completely nuts when I talk about these things."
chirpchirpchirp: (Slightly Smirky)

"Blurrgs," Vette piped up. "They've got two legs and little tiny arms, kind of like some of the reptiles that were around the other week? But besides that, they're pretty much all head. They're pretty great."

Who didn't love a good blurrg?
chirpchirpchirp: (Smug)

[personal profile] chirpchirpchirp 2019-05-28 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, sure," Vette laughed, "though it'd be really weird to see a blurrg in space." A pause. "Or a blurrg with a neck, for that matter."
