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

Okay, well, I wasn't warmed up.

[ A beat, as she looks over at the snake making a valiant attempt to do... something. ]

Uh, try to make sure your snake friend there doesn't break his teeth on the ball.

[anathemaw]

[ at the comment, he glances over at the snake, then gently tugs it back towards him, walking over to pick up the bowling ball himself - which he does as easily as if it was a football instead. Messmer's fingers are too big to go in the holes, but his bigass hand has a decent grip on it regardless. This is one way of keeping the snake from swallowing it? ]

The creature is merely curious.

[fireball]

[ Geez he really is just picking up a bowling ball like that. Okay then. Poppy blinks. ]

Creature? Doesn't he have a name?

[ ... it was kind of cute watching the snake try to. swallow a bowling ball whole, or something, though ]

[anathemaw]

[ why is everyone in this place so insistent on giving his snakes names?! This is at least the third time it's come up, and he remains perplexed by it. ]

Wouldst thou name thine arms separate?

[fireball]

My arms don't have their own eyeballs. Or mouths. Or... brains?

[ ... seems like a fair assumption? ]

[anathemaw]

Yet they remain part of thee. So too are the serpents; we are as one creature.

[ as Messmer says this, he goes ahead and bowls, heedless of any turn order or anything, because he doesn't know how bowling works. Also, by "bowls," I mean he straight up lobs the bowling ball like it's a dodgeball at the pins, where it manages to knock over most of them but mainly just makes an enormous hole in the lane with a loud crack of snapping wood.

Everyone stops and stares. Messmer gets the feeling that wasn't a legal move. ]

[fireball]

[ She would have had a rebuttal, except Messmer is then chucking a bowling ball through the lane. Poppy is among those stopping and staring.

A long moment. ]

... Okay, that was cool.

[ And broke like, so many rules, in addition to some of the actual structure of the place. But also, you know. Cool. ]
