[Public Channel] Radio Mingle, Day 48+ after closing time

'evening, Carnival!

Since we'll want ta help each other out while we're out here in the stacks, 'n since not all of us have been here years or however long you vets have been hanging in there, why don't ya introduce yourselves before ya read off anything interesting ya've found? Seems like a good time ta get ta know each other, right~?

I'll start!

Shima Renzou, reporting! And rright nnoowww.. [A pause and there's a shuffling of loose papers, possibly being rolled on or swum through.] I've found the biggest mountain of old newspaper clippings I've ever seen. Do Fae have newspapers? Ah, some of it might be poems--let's see...

"A few young sages one bright day..."

'Sages' is promising, right?

"Disputed, doth an old tale say,
Which is the prettiest part of women:"


Oooh...

"Some said the cheeks, and some the eyes,
And so they sought the beauteous Lais,
And asked her to award the prize.
The lady said, perhaps displeased,
These thoughts I cannot understand.

"If you could have them where you pleased,
I wonder where you'd put your hand?
'Twould be, you would see,
On their..."


...Oops, ehehe! I can't say that out loud ♥


((ooc: Mingle! This post is for sharing readings with everyone--dumb stuff, little plot stuff, 'anonymous' CR-related stuff to accidentally embarrass people in the carnival if you've found something on them, whatever your character might put on the air. Thread jumping encouraged! Shima will respond to anyone to who addresses him directly, feel free to show up just to roll your eyes at him.))

Of course not.

[He can't even imagine what that would be like, troll woman and men having their young grow inside them. Disgusting.]

Well how would I know, there are people here with all sorts of animal, characteristics who were born at least some form of mammal. That's what I'm trying to determine now, since you've mentioned it.

[Well that's a fair enough point. Begrudgingly he lets the mammal assumption slide.]

...Trolls are evolved from insects.

Dominance glands were how the queens controlled their hives back when we still lived that way.

[There's a pause, because Herbert is writing this down.]

In that case, why would the males of your species also have vestigial glands?

They don't.

[He answers, confused, trying to determine why Herbert would even ask, before suddenly realizing the cause. He laughs.]

I meant just the chest when I said men's were fine too.
With the proper muscle tone.
