So do you guys ever still think about how bizarre this place is, or do you pretty much just get used to it after a while? It's weird as hell, the stuff you just start accepting after a while – you don't even think about how most of us came from a place where cats don't hatch out of eggs.

(...I say "most" because some jerk out there's going to pop up and prove me wrong, you just watch. Even if you also hatch your damn cats, I'm pretty sure there's something here that's out of the ordinary.)

I don't know if there's much point to this, but there's not much point to anything that goes on around here, anyway. I don't know, even if this place is better than whatever's going on back home, sometimes you miss being useful, too. Another thing to get used to, I guess.

...No, really, I am getting sick of the kittens-from-eggs thing. I'm going to have more cats than I do Swablus at this rate.

She said it was supposed to be a more efficient way for people to give birth, or something.

Apparently, it went very badly.

[fatalissimo]

...You know, the worst part about that is that I'm actually not sure if it would be or not, if you could actually get it to work.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

She said it's supposed to work, but it's like you need to be extremely careful with it. Apparently someone else tried it with a bunch of other people.

[She'll just leave it like that.]

My world is pretty weird, compared to this place.

[fatalissimo]

Well, if that's the sort of shit people can just kind of decide to do, I'd say so.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Fran (my sister) said it involved some scientist who stole her work? People who steal info from my sister usually have bad things happen to them. I guess it's karma or something.

[fatalissimo]

...Either karma or your sister really likes revenge, maybe.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

No way. That's not her. I've seen it happen a few times to people that tried to cross us. My sister just stands around and acts smart while people die.

[fatalissimo]

Well, that just makes her sound like a guy I know. That's pretty much what he's there to do in life.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Someone like fran, huh?

[Now you're saying weird things.]

[fatalissimo]

Sorta. He's not bent on experimenting on people but people who mess with him tend to die a lot. He's also usually the guy acting like he's the smartest person in the room, whether it's true or not.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Sounds pretty like my big sister. But she usually is the smartest person in the room.

And she doesn't kill people. She likes to save them. It's just how she saves them that's sometimes horrible.

[fatalissimo]

...What, like with the egg thing?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

No, no. That was someone else.

And it ended really really badly. Plus.... no one listened to Fran when she proposed it.

[fatalissimo]

In summation: science is weird as hell where you come from.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

...Yeah. It is.

There's whale people.

[fatalissimo]

...Now I need to know. What?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

My father was the greatest doctor in the world, and he did a lot of illegal stuff. Like making whale people.

My sister had to preform a heart transplant on one, once.

[fatalissimo]

...Heart transplants on whale people.

I've heard a lot of shit since I've come here, that's probably one of the most bizarre.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

It was really weird.... and we had to deal with it twice.
