I think I need some assistance. I've gained Animal magic as my type of magic. The problem is that my knowledge in animals is pretty limited. I didn't even know what sort of an animal my own familiar was until he told me.

So, would you tell me about what kind of animals you know of? It would help if you have a way of showing me what they look like... but just descriptions can probably carry me a long way.

I know basic farm animals, some forest animals and cats and dogs. I also remember otters from the previous place I was at. Oh and some birds.

[But that's pretty much it.]

Just assume I don't know something.

You know, there's probably a library in the castle with books on the subject. Or in town. This is a pretty modern place, after all.

[rustyhonesty]

Probably, but I wanted to ask through here first. Doubles as meeting new people.

[theonlyrealthing]

I guess if that's how you want to do it.

[But hey, while they're here.]

Doesn't seem like animal magic is useful for much besides mediating troubles between farmers and their livestock, or maybe scouting.

[He hasn't learned that shapeshifting comes with it, or found enough animals willing to follow his commands to know that particular use, yet. Also, he's not admitting quite yet on the network that that's what he's got, too.]

[disasdeer]

So like - what type of animals are you talking about here? What do you need to know?

[rustyhonesty]

[Fortunately, Jean has met talking animals before in Verens, so seeing a talking deer doesn't confuse him too much. And he might as well keep it on video too.]

Mostly I want to figure out what I can transform into. I tried a few, but I think I just need more options to suit different situations better.

[disasdeer]

Are you wanting something that's more of a carnivore or herbivore?

[getstoned]

Oh yeah? What kinda place were in before coming here?

Also, animal magic users unite I guess! Like isn't this going to be a fuckin' wild ride?

So like what sorts of animals are you looking to learn about? Sea animals? Small mammals? More birds--Oh shit! Do you know what a dinosaur is? I wonder if we could do dinosaurs, that shit's fuckin' sweet as hell.

I was actually in a place similar to this before. Where people from different universes came to be in the same place. I thought I'd be going home, but apparently my journey isn't over yet. Which is good since the place I actually am from is a nightmare.

[He'll explain better if asked, but won't overshare if he doesn't get prompted.]

Yeah, I never thought this would be possible. It's kind of cool. [He shrugs.] Uhh... any that might be useful to know about? Though sea animals might be good since I'm still not a very good swimmer.

No idea what a dinosaur is though.

  Say hello to frog.

[ He's helping. And he's spent 10 minutes to make this. ]

[rustyhonesty]

[Drawing with text... that's interesting.]

What kind of an animal is it?

[fooligans]

[ Bordom ignites inspiration sometimes... ]

It can be found in ponds and lakes, usually.
They make funny croaking sounds.
And jump a lot.
Maybe you'll get to meet and talk with one someday.
Oh, I guess there's also that fairytale about kissing frogs.

[This kid sounds too old to not know types animals. It's odd. Makes him wonder where this guy originated from.]

It would take a long time to list all the creatures I know. You could try searching for them on this device or in a book. Both may give you some insight.

[rustyhonesty]

[It's a long story that he will tell if prompted, really.]

On the device...? We can search things with this?

[casaposa]

Videos popped up easily enough.

[He can vividly recall the haunting sound of Baby shark coming through his speakers. For better or worse, this phone can look up a great deal of information.]

It would be worth a look.

[deliveryhawk]

You mean other than otters?

[Yes, he is grinning and snickering here Jean.]

[rustyhonesty]

[Thanks, Takao, thanks.]

How long are you still going to laugh about what happened?

[deliveryhawk]

[Welcome Jean!]

Forever or until something funnier happens.

[callyourname]

Oh, that was you...

[And this is a voice from a way too serious sounding girl. Hello.]

[deliveryhawk]

What was me?

[Hello serious-sounding girl, meet amused sounding point guard. He is pretty sure he knows what she is referring to but he is not one to give other people's business away, though he did tell his friends about the awkward, funny first meeting he had with Jean.]

[grylls]

There are 8.7 million known animal species. This is a difficult question.

[ How does he even begin to decide where to start, that's like. A lot... ]

voice;

[rustyhonesty]

[That sure is a number to just drop.]

I doubt there's that many in my world... but uh. Do you have any ... favorites?

Re: voice;

[grylls]

For consumption or as companions?

[ Those are very different answers. ]

[hopticulture]

There is really no reason for you to turn into a rabbit, so take that as my personal advice.

[rustyhonesty]

Uh, well the first animal I turned into was a hare. So kind of close.

[hopticulture]

Hares are a bit different than us rabbits, even if we’re in the same family. They’re a lot bigger and stronger.

I get why other animals think we’re similar though.
