[Miriam waves. She's currently hanging out in Delight's bar, surrounded by brightly colored bottles and a mess of playing cards spread across the table. The arrival of Hadriel's newest scaly residents has gotten Miriam thinking that this right here? Is a prime opportunity to play the card shark.]

Hey people! Hope nobody's dead yet.

Also there's a bunch of dragons and they're probably gonna eat you if you get too close. So watch out for that, 'cause getting eaten would suck.

[She bats her eyelashes at the camera. Barnaby the dog just grunts, laying his head on her lap.]

Also you all should totally come and play cards with me if you're not fighting dragons. It's poker time, baby.

Oooooor if you're fighting dragons and don't die nasty, can somebody get me a bit of dragon steak?

[She fluffs Barnaby's ears.]

Baby boy's never had dragon.

And somebody should totally kill those things. I believe in you!

[Go forth and slay! Just don't do it by the bar.]

Have you ever been to a zoo?

[dogsanddaughters]

whats a zoo?

[verinumeri]

That would be a no. A place where humans stored animals, often endangered, to pay to look at. There were often conservation efforts as well for the endangered. Even if they were dangerous, there was thought to be a value to preserving life.

oh

we dont really do that anymore back home
i mean maybe the emperor used to
they said he had gardens and stuff
but the sons burned everything
we still have some dogs and a few of the plants have farms


did they have tigers?

[verinumeri]

Terrible, if they burned the animals as well. The planets must have their own ecosystems, their own wild life, even if most of Earth's is lost?

Yes, most do have tigers. Humans tend to like the big cats.

[dogsanddaughters]

yeah theyre bad people

most of them do if they have air
but for some reason they dont have as much stuff as earth did
like
only a couple planets and animals
dunno how thats supposed to work but it does??? apparently

tigers are cool! i mean i think they are i never saw one. just pictures

[verinumeri]

Were they terraformed?

They certainly have an aesthetic appeal. I was less drawn to zoos than certain museums, myself, but I am sure Newton could wax poetic about the evolution of the majestic tiger.

[ Something like that. ]

[dogsanddaughters]

yeah
but they did it a few different ways
didnt always work so good

really??? he knows stuff like that?
also gilly said that tigers have spots on the back of their ears
white ones
so the babies can find their parents in the dark
is that true?
