hey kids, you like dinosaurs right?

well for those of you out there who don't have cameras to dodge or shady companies to watch or alleys to get beat up in or w/e you do w/ your time or if you've on a break from that then i have some fun dinosaur themed puzzles for you!

first is a riddle or long word puzzle w/e ok

say you have a several ton dinosaur hiding in a garage. he makes the raptors in jurassic park look like babies. now, hes pretty cramped in there and it smells bad and maybe it's rubbing off on him, who can say, but most important he's getting serious cabin fever and would like to stretch his legs.

how do you move this dinosaur without causing alarm or getting too much attention?

also this dinosaur may/may not have been involved in a few 1000s in car damages

ok riddle two

why would an ancient dinosaur have a silver earring? magic may or may not be involved i guess

riddle three
is there a better way for something w/out hands to write on a laptop other than a stick in the mouth

Riddle One: A. A truck big enough to contain it.
B: If you have control of it, get people with cameras and act like you're filming a movie. It won't avoid attention, but it'll delay anyone being able to properly investigate until its' gone.

Riddle Two: A. Magic.
B. Some sort of tracking tag.
C. Dinosaurs evolves to be the dominant species and it likes jewelry.

Riddle Three: If verbal communication is impossible, I would see about getting a bigger keyboard for the claws.

a. dont think i can organize a truck rental, not for a dino this size
b. where would i find enough of a camera crew for this, also what if the dinosaur isnt great in crowds, also what if people think the dinosaur busted up their car a few months back
hypothetical of course

2
... good answers. not sure about the tracking tag. dominant species might be something but im p sure this dinosaur was around when the others went extinct.
you might be onto something i think this earring is his and not one someone else put in.

where would one find a dino-sized keyboard like this paw is bigger than the laptop

Oh, of course, all just hypothetical.

And speaking hypothetical, does the dinosaur have a place to go and how far it is?

Available fund are also a question.

Though you could possibly get enough volunteers from on the network to be a camera crew. Or if the dinosaur destroyed cars, get enough people in uniform to pretend to be taking said dinosaur into custody.

Well, if he had freedom, he could still like jewelry, yes.

[... He likes you, mystery writer.]

the dinosaur isn't sure where to go but park might be a good idea, or maybe somewhere closer to the city's edge. but if time/money is a factor then a big park is probably the best idea. at night or whenever theres not as many people and it's harder to see

new question - whats the rental rate on livestock transport, that might be comfortable. or hell maybe he can just squeeze into a van, its not like it'll be a long trip.

the dinosaur cant get at his bank account presently but given time he could prob pay things back

dinosaur is reluctant to get this much network help but he is getting p. desperate so he might have to nut up and deal w/it

i think he was def free to wear his own earring. sort of a '800 lb gorilla sits where it wants' thing.

There's a camping area that's just inside the Echo area. Some cabins, some fishing, lots of trees.

[Here are links to rental vans and some price lists.]

Well, there's always ATMs, if nothing else. Network help would be your best bet through. There's a lot of people here with a lot of different jobs. Some people may actually just own a big enough van.

There is that. So he likes it, or it's magic that needs to get it back. Maybe the dinosaur will be lucky and it's shapeshifting.

ahh excellent. thanks, whoever you are.

not sure atms are going to fly or... welll... actually i prob. COULD use them it just might be conspicuous... but theres also rent on my old place hnm

i guess i COULD just ask the network too sighh

... god i hope its shapeshifting magic. and i hope that shape is human instead of like another dinosaur or something

[look, this dinosaur had a silver earring that had to be forged by someone, maybe that someone was human, or close to it. Somehow. Despite remembering the extinction.]

You'd need someone else to use the ATM, admittedly.

There are a lot of helpful people here. With a dinosaur, it's certainly no more risky than doing it all on alone.

It would be rather convenient, at least.

no offense to anyone here but im not desperate enough to give out my banking info

... holy shit I think it might be shapeshifting. or related somehow

ok add 'someone to pierce my ears' to the service list.

Well, I was thinking of using someone you trusted. Surely there's someone on the Network or your life, even with your dinosaur problem.

Might be easier to just get a piercing gun. It seems to be a relatively simple process.

Though if it is shape shifting, you may want to check the Network for shape shifters. I can't be certain, but I'm relatively sure seeing someone perform magical feats can prompt echoes for it if you have something similar.

[... Yyyeah, about that. Doyle's just going to skip it.]

maybe. it might need to be a little bigger than a regular piercing, idk i've never had my ears pierced. i'll have to ask about that b/c i don't have a piercing gun, but that might be easier to order online than a truck.

hmmmmmm. that could be something to look into. it could help, anyway.

[Much as he ~~is afraid of~~ hates echoes.]

[...man, even I think that's paranoid and I KNOW I'm paranoid.]

Maybe one of those animal taggers then? I'm sure that's somewhere, I'll take a look.

It's a direction, at least.

[... It's not so much paranoia as lack of resources, so to speak.] [ (he's a very lonely dinosaur) ]

maybe? this doesn't look like a tag but tbh idk how those things work.

thanks

[Poor, poor lonely dinosaur.]

I'm sure sized can be adjusted, I think those are just more heavy duty.

[Here are more links for piercing and tagging guns.]

You're welcome.
