Hey, everybody. I'm Newt, if you're new here. Welcome aboard, I guess. I've been studying the monsters coming in through the Door every month. Hope sort of messed up my plans and all given that he eliminated, like, the entire monster population a few months back, but the bestiary's ready for it's public debut now. So, uh, here!

[He attaches a file.]

I nixed all the monsters that were in the caves and crap before I got here. Didn't see the point in including 'em since my research was, uh, limited. They're gone now, anyway. Some quote-unquote extinct monsters are still on the list, but only if I was able to really spend some time with them. I haven't gotten down to the coliseum to check out the new arrivals yet, but everything else that's currently in town is on the list.

[He's... pretty sure? It'd be tough to miss anything these days, what with the islands and all.]

Anyway, if anyone has biology experience—I'm talking, like, hands-on lab work, people—I do my research down at the lab. I'm also never gonna turn down a, uh, fresh or well-preserved monster specimen. Living is cool if it's something that's, y'know... Manageable. Can fit in a bedroom, or I guess a now-empty paddock outside that I used to keep the death worms in. Nothing too deadly, okay? Thanks.

[Newt pauses, because he doesn't really know either.]

Oh, come on. You know what you're getting at.

[Another pause before he switches this conversation to private...an act which is mostly pointless at this point]

Newton. Did you think I was referring to indecent acts on a countertop?

private

[completelycrazy]

[............]

Well, yeah! Jeez! What the hell were you referring to, if not that?

Re: private

[bespectacledsnake]

[.....Alright. Upon review he can see how this has happened. After all he's made a pastime of flirting with Newt so taken in context he can see how this might have happened though it was genuinely not his intention.]

I was simply referring to a test of strength. But I'll concede that given my past actions perhaps it seemed otherwise.

[A pause]

...That would be very uncomfortable though, Newton. The logistics...are not ideal....

[completelycrazy]

Not always about comfort, dude.

[Some things are worth it.]

Oh, hey, we're getting a couple new additions to the house, by the way.

[Look at him, being a good(?) roommate.]

[bespectacledsnake]

[This may not be a video call but the intrigued and amused arch of his brow can practically be heard through the phone at that first comment. However for the time being he's going to let it slide without further remark.

...It may be revisited in later conversation though. One never knows.]

...and those additions would be....?

[completelycrazy]

Some of those birds that can mimic voices. Jabberjays. Cash says they're you're average bird outside of the mimicking thing.

[So nothing too horrific there. But!]

And one, maybe two of those rust monster things that showed up this month. That one's a work in progress.

[Because finding a way to hold it is going to be a challenge.]
