[Leo blinks, watching Stork screaming like a madman. He grabs a cracker he had in his pocket and calls the pooch.] Here boy.

Re: action;

[ The pooch slows, wavering between the larger but faster green chew toy and the generously offered tidbit. Stork uses the opportunity to grab hold of a pipe running up the wall, where he clings like a cartoon 'fraidy cat. ]

[And Leo approaches the pooch to let it sniff the treat and when he managed to get its attention, he throws it away, so the dog would leave the... green-alien-thing alone]

Last resort, ya can always kick it.

[is_paranoid]

[ the canine decides that the cookie is more appetizing after all, and trots away with its new treat while Stork continues to quake ]

But that would require getting in range of its teeth!

Re: action;

[firecandyleo]

Well duh. But it's better than running around like a pansy, no?

Re: action;

[is_paranoid]

Of course it wouldn't be! Better a coward than chewed on!

Re: action;

[firecandyleo]

Can't say I agree with that.

So you're just like every other human, looks like...

I really wonder how a whole race got made without any self-preservation instinct.

[ possibly because Merbs have enough of it for all the Atmos races and then some... ]

I'm not a fucking human. [he hates to be called one]

And I'm not afraid cuz I'm not weak, simple as that.

[ Stork only looks mildly surprised at being corrected ]

Oh, you're not? Okay.

Re: action;

[firecandyleo]

... good.

What... are you? [since you know. you are green]

Re: action;

[is_paranoid]

A Merb, obviously.

Re: action;

[firecandyleo]

... it's not obvious.

Merbs don't usually leave the home Terra.
