i heard there were talking animals on this network!

are you guys like people's spirit companions or something? do you have telepathic links to your bonded humans? what's it like having paws or hooves, can you type with those??

i've never seen a talking animal before so mainly i'm just curious!

[SO MANY QUESTIONS]

[keep it together Russel! don't be rude!]

oh the animal companion thing is just the most common form talking animals take in fiction so it was the first thing i thought of. i guess that's kind of offensive, sorry!

[ ... it's like talking to an overeager pup. unfortunately, stella has no such qualms about being polite. :( ]

[ text ]

[pianistofraielin]

umm i don't have footpaws, just regular human feet, so i guess technically no?

[the sentiment of the accusation is very true tho :( ]

[ text ]

[seabeast]

technically

anyhow
i type with me paws when lyalls computer is about and i tap at letters on a page when he isnt
both ways suit me fine

anything else

[ text ]

[pianistofraielin]

so you can't talk out loud?

[writing animals isn't the same as talking animals! and typing animals? who ever heard of that!]

[ text ]

[seabeast]

i would if i could
typin gets more than tirsome when ye have to stretch for half the keys

[ text ]

[pianistofraielin]

oh! they make phones with tiny keyboards that slide out, i bet that would be a lot easier for you to use if a regular keyboard is too big for you!

[ text ]

[seabeast]

[ ... for someone so perky, he was being annoyingly helpful. ]

where can i get such a thing

[ text ]

[pianistofraielin]

hmm it should be pretty easy to order one off the internet. phones can get pretty expensive though, i don't know what your financial situation might be

here, this should help you find one that suits you!

[ text ]

[seabeast]
