I really like birds. My favorite is the evening grosbeak male but the female is pretty cool too.

One of my friends is teaching me how to make bird sounds but I really suck at it and I'm still trying to do the first one she showed me. I'm better at bird watching.

What's your favorite animal? Do you have a hobby you that's related to them?

That's another thing I love about birds. It's a whole thing.

[ Stan had always struck her as a particularly thoughtful child. This cements it. ]

I never thought about it before. I really like my dog. Does that count?

I think it counts. People usually do a lot of activities with their dogs too. I've never had a dog.

Yours is pretty.

[a_shadow]

Isn't he? I call him an idiot sometimes, but actually he's probably smarter than I like to think. He did manage to get us to adopt him, which is not something you can say about the other 20 or so dogs that lived in the vents on the Moira.

hey did u get my gift

[stantheman]

And your note. I keep them by my bed.

You didn't have to do anything, you know... I didn't really do the gift thing...

[beeped]

sure i did. you're my friend and that's the normal thing to do during holidays.

plus everything's been so goddamn fucking weird. i thought maybe it might cheer you up?

[redshitlord]

Uh are cars animals ?? Cause I pick those.

[stantheman]

Not really. They're not exactly alive.

But why do you like them?

[redshitlord]

Cause I turn into one.

I don't really have much experience with animals, but where I'm from, we have these things called Bits which are binary entities. They're pretty cute and can be useful at helping with simple processing.

[stantheman]

I don't understand what this means but I'm curious.

[actuaryonline]

Can you tell me more about these evening grosbeaks in turn? I haven't come across them before and they're very pretty and sound interesting.

Bits are capable of only positive and negative so you can only ask them yes or no questions. They can exist on their own or with a program, in which case they can do simple processing tasks upon request.

Why is it your favorite?

[stantheman]

[ He smiles at her when she replies, always happy to talk to her despite himself lately. ]

At first it was the coloring... I really like those shades a lot. But I like their calls too. It's a good sound. You can find them even in winter most of the time... they like to stay together in big flocks.

[coercive]

So they are like you and your friends.

[She finds the connection there and smiles, because she thinks it's a nice thought.]

[lefthandfree]

Birds are nice. I don’t know about favorite, but hawks are pretty cool, I think.

[Or falcons. Ha.]

I like a lot of animals too. Like wolves. And tigers. And bears. Those are too dangerous to be a whole thing though, haha. Unless the zoo counts.

[stantheman]

Hawks are very smart.

There's always the circus too.

[nishizono]

fucking why bird noises? what the fuck?

[stantheman]

What?

[nishizono]

BIRDS

why fuckin birds

[ex_bossily211]

I ought to tell you about actual phoenixes I saw on a volcano planet once. I'm not sure I have a favorite animal, exactly, but if I did I think it would rank pretty high on the list.

[stantheman]

Real phoenixes? I thought they were just a story...but how could you be on a volcano planet?

[ Stan, you're on a space station, stop getting surprised by these things. ]

What about them makes them rank high?

I like dogs a lot. I've never owned a dog but I would like to some day.

[stantheman]

Why haven't you been able to own one?

[culver]

I lived in a church in my home. I don't think Bishop would have let me have one. And I have never seen a dog here that I could have.
