messmer and nico

[marriagebroker]

Messmer and Nico are taken to the zoo. The production is a little unsure of this one because isn't Nico a vampire? Daylight? So, they'll probably ask Nico first if he's okay with going in the day but if he is not, they will take them at night.

Highlights

• Seriously, we're not here to kill the vampire.
• At least the animals are still mmmmostly awake.
• The penguins are cute.

[ A night time walk at the zoo is just fine for Nico, who’s frankly just happy to be here… or anywhere. He has a map of the place in his hand, peering at it thoughtfully. ]

I wonder if your companions might enjoy the reptile house…?

[ The snakes also deserve to have a good time. ]

[anathemaw]

[ on the other hand, Messmer looks less than enthused to be here with poor Nico... probably. He always sort of looks less than enthused. The nighttime display with all of the lights is rather pretty, at least, and while the snake by his legs keeps its eyes on the ground, the one near his shoulders is curiously pointed at them.

What "the reptile house" is, exactly, he doesn't know, but he can make an educated guess. ]

They are no common serpents.

[crimsin]

I know that. I want them to have a good time, too!

[ Maybe they want to see some friends! He doesn't know! ]

[anathemaw]

Concern thyself not with them. We are of one mind.

[ the serpents will have as much fun as Messmer is having, which is ???? ]

... Let us see what this menagerie hath hidden.

[crimsin]

Very well, then.

[ He'd been thinking the snakes were some sort of familiars this whole time, not necessarily a part of Messmer.

Hol' up. Is this why he can never seem to spot their tails? Hello??? ]

Where would you like to start, mon ami? I will let you make the first pick!

[anathemaw]

[ much to think about...... ]

The map displayeth the route as a loop. We need only follow the path. [ a beat. ] The animals of this land art unknown to me besides.

[crimsin]

Well then! They look quite similar to what I know, so I am happy to give you the grand tour. These funny ones here are giraffes.

[ Look at these tall guys. Taller than Messmer even. ]

[anathemaw]

[ huh......... the higher serpent extends outwards towards the fence to look at the giraffes more closely. ]

A bizarre beast.

[ Messmer wonders what he's doing here... himself, not the giraffe, but also the giraffe tbh. ]

[crimsin]

[ There’s probably some poor zookeeper nearby wondering if they should fear for the safety of their animals. ]

The world is full of silly creatures. I think that is part of what makes it delightful.

[anathemaw]

[ nico is kind of a silly creature, when you think about it... Messmer sighs, his eye closing. ]

Thou art full of strange whimsy for thy years, Nicodeme.

[crimsin]

Do you truly find me so strange? I have not always been this way.

[anathemaw]

Only a stone would sit unchanged for a thousand years. Yet most creatures trend towards bitterness, while thou remainest sickly sweet.

[ you don't have to be mean about it, messmer... ]

[crimsin]

I suppose so.

[ Said as he casually begins floating while they walk, so he can hang out near Messmer's eye-line again. Gravity seems to be a suggestion rather than a rule for him. ]

I made a promise once, to learn to love life for all it was worth. I could never go back on that.
