[152] BEST PORT EVERRRRR // Video.

[stopthat_destro]

[The camera turns on to show a shot of a grassy clearing from behind some cover, where it captures the final moments of a fight between a t-rex and a triceratops in the distance.  The triceratops puts up a valiant effort, but the t-rex ultimately wins and begins feeding.  SO AWESOME.  Rex-- the person, not the dinosaur-- keeps the camera on this

An egg or what?

[stopthat_destro]

Compsognathus longipes. It's a small dinosaur, about the size of a turkey.

[inhumandog]

You're not getting an egg. [Maybe.] Or a dinosaur.

[stopthat_destro]

[SAD FOREVER.] I can manage a small dinosaur. I know how to care for reptiles.

[inhumandog]

I know you can. But I can't drag around a dinosaur all through port. [Even if he wanted to. Which...he wasn't sure if he did.]

If you want one, bring it back yourself.

[stopthat_destro]

I have to find one first.

[inhumandog]

[Pause.] Who are you with?

[stopthat_destro]

My warden. [And possibly Sarah and Amanda, but he'll keep that to himself until it's confirmed.] What about you? Had any run-ins with a predator yet?

[inhumandog]

This whole place is filled with predators, Rex. Of course I have.

[stopthat_destro]

Not all reptiles are carnivores, you know.

[Pause.]

If you happen upon a titanoboa, will you film it for me?

[inhumandog]

A what? [Sigh.] Tell me what it looks like.

[stopthat_destro]

I thought the name spoke for itself. [So disappointed in you now.] It's the largest snake ever to have been discovered. It's at least ten feet longer than the reticulated python. [This could all be incorrect, as I can't fact check right now :V]

[inhumandog]

I'll find it for you, Rex. [SEE HOW HE CARES.] But only if you pretend to care if it eats me.

[He loves these survival ports. So much.]

[stopthat_destro]

I'll care...

But practically speaking, you can die more than once. And the chance to glimpse a titanoboa is a once in a lifetime thing...

[inhumandog]

I'll let it eat the communicator. Then you can see it from that perspective. [He wasn't being entirely serious, as he didn't plan on getting that close to it if he did stumble on one.]

But it is nice to know where your priorities are.

[stopthat_destro]

I would never lie about my priorities with you.
