[The feed cuts in to a very agitated growling.]

Hnnnh...?

[The growl continues, punctuated by tiny reptilian chirps.]

...Old Lace? Girl... what's wrong? [Gert's voice makes it obvious that she was just waking up. The dinosaur's growls and chirps continue after a brief pause.]

Girl? [There's some rustling of bedsheets and clothing, followed by ( Read more... )

[ Well... that definitely captures his interest. ]

I'm not a veterinarian, but I've got more than a passing knowledge on them.

What's the exact species?

Deinonychus. [There's a pause.] Deinonychus antirrhopus if you want to be particularly idiomatic.

Deinonychus antirrhopus. It is really? No, never mind that of course it is, because you just told me. [ The Doctor pauses, looking contemplative. ] Early Cretaceous? Of course, that also begs the question as to how you managed to obtain a deinonychus antirrhopus from the early Cretaceous period in the first place...

[ and with barely contained excitement, almsot forgetting what the point to her question was... ]

Do you mind if I see her?

[The feed clicks on, and Gert is petting Old Lace's snout, trying to get her to calm down. It seems to be working, though the dinosaur's eyes are still moving around the room warily.]

Originally, I thought she was a velociraptor, until a friend much more knowledgable in dinosaurs corrected me. As for how I got her...

Inheritence from time-traveling parents. They commissioned her to be genetically engineered in the 87th century. [Completely straight face to go along with that explanation.]

Says the blue rainbow-maned pony.

She's not a dragon; she's a dinosaur.

Dinosaur. Giant lizard-bird missing links that lived 65 million years ago?

They didn't have dinosaurs in.... [She can't believe she's asking this]...in Ponyville?

..."Extinct species"?

Well, I've never seen any evidence to support that the events in 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' could actually take place, so I'm going to say dinosaurs count as an extinct species.

There still are some in the Savage Lands you know.

The Savage Lands are a gray area, at least ecologically-speaking, due to the whole 'alien tampering' aspect. Though I guess we can up it to 'endangered.'

But how many Savage Lands are there, besides the one in our home world?

Re: voice makes_asteroids August 16 2011, 18:59:00 UTC
Depends on how many alternates there is to ours. Several hundred, at least.

Probably a thousand more with dinosaurs.

Sometimes, I wish I came from a world where all this sounded strange and far-fetched.
