Who: The Babylonians who make better decisions, an unfortunate moss lion, you??
When: Day 30, evening
Where: Coming down from the fourth floor ...
What:

[There's a bit of a commotion at the top of the stairwell if you're passing. Gilgamesh and Enkidu (the ones who haven't been dead or armless today) are dragging an at least completely unconscious and chained up Moss Lion down the stairs. Both of them look pretty beat up, bleeding and dishevelled, possibly on account of not appearing to have anything especially sharp or pointy on their persons. They appear to also be in hot debate.]

Less impressive than other lions it might be, but once we got the dirty vegetation off it'd still make an excellent hat. Or a cloak. Or a coat. It's just a waste to put it back.

Comments

[familiarized]

I think I must disagree.

[originalhipster]

[tugs on the chain a bit more, making sure it's secure]

About which aspect?

[familiarized]

It was more impressive than I would have thought, firstly. Even if it is just because everything here seems scaled down . . .

[ REGARDS GILGAMESH ]

And secondly I believe it would make a poor cloak.

[originalhipster]

Clearly you don't share the king's creative vision.

[familiarized]

If the king is going to skin the lion himself I would be happy to indulge him in his vision.

[originalhipster]

[. . . pulls a face . . .]

[familiarized]

It is not so much your color, either.

[originalhipster]

I can wear whatever colours I desire. However, since you feel strongly about it, I'll let you have your way.

The question remains as to what we do with it.

[familiarized]

I imagine you will, as you always have. But a real lion would suit you better.

[ p. . . onder . . . ]

We could keep it.

[ticking]

[presumably Yuri has gone to find Gil, so wandering past, less covered in blood that before



paaaaause.


watch]

[originalhipster]

[after some debate the conclusion SEEMS TO BE that we will keep it as a pet and call it Rambo

you're welcome for the constant entertainment.]

[ticking]

[That is why I keep you around]

A pet, your majesty?

[originalhipster]

[I guess Enkidu is carrying the WHOLE LION now also. that's something. Shrugs lightly as he heads down the stairs.]

Enkidu had some reservations about it becoming a hat, so a pet it is.

[ticking]

I don't think even you could pull off a moss hat, it seems he's done you a favor.

[originalhipster]

You'd be surprised by what I can pull off. I did assume there was fur under the moss, though, is there not?

[ticking]

There isn't. That is their fur.

[originalhipster]

. . . that would have been a fashion mistake.

[eyeing him] So you've solved your earlier problem?

[ticking]

Ah yes, he's been found.

[familiarized]

[ carrying a lion i guess hi ]

Hello again.

[ticking]

Hello again. Are you going to be keeping it chained up like that?

[familiarized]

Probably not.

[ticking]

I wonder how long it will take it to become a hat after all.

[familiarized]

I think we're skipping the hat part. I don't believe he'll get his hands dirty over something like that.

[ticking]

That's really a pity. [I still think he looks good in red] But the animals here aren't exactly tame...

[familiarized]

There's no real point in keeping a tame animal, we both agree on that point.

If it comes down to a fashion disagreement Rambo will just die.
