008 [Voice] | Killer fruit?

[ice_harpy]

I just had a tomato try to chew through my trousers. A tomato.

[There is a faint rustling of fabric.]

Hmm. It did a pretty good job, for something that's supposed to be dinner.

...I wonder if they can be trained?

I doubt they can. They're tomatoes. They don't have anything like a proper consciousness.

[ice_harpy]

Well, they aren't supposed to have teeth, either. You never know.

[tarot_umbrella]

I do know. I'm a mind reader. I know when a thing is thinking and when it's merely reacting.

[Voice | Joking, probably]

[ice_harpy]

Yes, well, many things that don't have a proper mind can be trained. Animals, males...you name it.

Re: [Voice | Joking, probably]

[tarot_umbrella]

Animals do have minds, albeit not of the same level of consciousness as a human.

Human males generally aren't trainable, but it has less to do with their minds and more to do with testosterone.

[ice_harpy]

Some animals have minds.

Of course, it's possible we have different definitions of the word, hmm?

[tarot_umbrella]

I suppose it depends on the animal. I have a butterfly that I would wager is smarter than most people.
