Recommendations for what to do with shed antlers, go.

Can they be used for magic? Weapons? Something like that. I've heard they can make good chew toys for carnivores.

And before anyone asks: they are mine, not some deer in the woods. I did not go hunting down something and take its antlers.

Alright, folks, one more question:

What's your favorite food that doesn't include meat? I want to try some new things and am getting bored of the same-old.

I'm a red deer.

[ That straightforward. ]

[scotch_egg]

Why not. Makes as much sense as anything else.

[if a talking mouse, why not a talking deer]

Losing antlers isn't painful at all?

[disasdeer]

You're human then?

[ because of course ]

A little, but they mostly just itch. I mean, it's not like I can stop it from happening.

[scotch_egg]

Aye. Most days. [a pause and then] That was sarcasm.

[another pause]

Do you get many humans where you're from? [What were those words he was typing? Why did he suddenly step into a fantasy novel?]

[disasdeer]

Good to clarify, given text.

We get 0 where I'm from. The humans here are the first ones that people from my world would see.

[scotch_egg]

...Well. Same goes opposite. For the most part. I mean there are deer and...people who wish they were but...[he's just going to stop writing about this now]

Good luck out there.

[disasdeer]

Humans who wish they were a different species, huh?

[ You opened this door, sir. ]

[scotch_egg]

[he is going to try and close it. Or at least avoid it]

Never happens with you?

[disasdeer]

Not really, no. Why would it? We're glad to be who we are.

[ though he knows it probably does happen sometimes, he's never personally checked ]

[scotch_egg]

I doubt that. There's always someone somewhere who wishes they were something a little different.

[that was the nature of hu-- of sapient beings]

[disasdeer]

I mean, even if that's the case, it's not like it's something people really talk about. Or...share. It's just not like that.

And everyone is an animal where I'm from. So there's not like the option to be human.
