[video] Episode 20: In which Bhamba did not enjoy being a mussel man

[angel_junk]

[ Bhamba turns the communicator on with much dedicated rage. ]

I want to file a complaint against the recent underwater event. My research was interrupted, I spent three days in a clamshell and all of my crocodiles are gone!

[ At this point the lab door slides open and Amy lurches past in the background, carrying a chirping baby crocodile in her

Comments

[action] I'M ASSUMING THEY ARE STILL RATHER SMALL?

[usskickass]

[Beiste's pretty good with animals, generally. But she wasn't exactly expecting this guy would show up in her bed and start chewing on her toes.

It's lucky he's cute. Or is it a she?

In any case, here she is, carrying the tiny gator in a newly summoned terrarium, knocking on Bhamba's door.]

[action] YEP~ About 30cm/12 inches

[angel_junk]

[ Bhamba opens the door and his annoyed I-hate-visitors face instantly transforms into an enthusiastic grin. ]

Zelda!

[usskickass]

[She starts, a little surprised by this reception.]

Uh, yep. Found...her? In my room.

[angel_junk]

Thank you, thank you very much!

[ He reaches out to take the terrarium from her. ]

[usskickass]

[Heeeesitation.]

Are you gonna lose her again?

[angel_junk]

[ Hands on hips. ]

What do you mean lose her again? Are you going to tell me I was supposed to know we were suddenly going to live underwater and built her an- an- an Atlantis-proof habitat?!

sorry for being so sloooow.

[usskickass]

[Eeeeyebrow.]

You could've at least put her in a cage with four sides. She's a freakin' gator, for crying out loud! And a baby! [Protective mother hen gesture around the cage.]

Likewise. Again. X_X

[angel_junk]

She is not an alligator, she is a crocodile.

And her mother is perfectly capable of protecting her while the mansion isn't turning us all into freaky fish things!

np <3

[usskickass]

Fine, crocodile. Point is, she's got teeth like razors and she's itty bitty. Somebody's gonna get hurt if she's wanderin' around anymore.

[She looks into the terrarium again, frowning. Poor thing.]

1/2

[angel_junk]

[ At this point mummy comes crawling out of her room, wondering what's taking Zelda so long to get back. She's heard her name after all...

Amy moves up to Bhamba and stops next to him, lifting her head up and addressing Beiste with a low hiss. ]

2/2

[angel_junk]

[ Bhamba nods towards Amy and shakes his head. ]

That's exactly what I've been trying to tell this woman, but apparently she thinks you don't know how to raise your own children.

[usskickass]

[Beiste flinches, taking a step backwards. She then sends an annoyed glare the doctor's way.]

You speak croc.

[angel_junk]

You don't?

[usskickass]

...Not fluently.

[angel_junk]

Then why are you still holding our crocodile?

[usskickass]

[OKAY THIS IS OFFICIALLY NOT WORTH IT.]

Fine. Just don't lose her again.

[TAKE THE TERRARIUM ALREADY.]
