Hm.

I bought a turkey.

Comments

[cryopathic]

Living, or dead?

[tread_the_earth]

Quite alive. It spent its first hour in my care relieving itself in XI's garden.

[cryopathic]

I think I like that bird.

[tread_the_earth]

Yes, it's shown itself to be quite smart. For a turkey.

[cryopathic]

Hm. You haven't gone and named it, have you?

[tread_the_earth]

... ... ...

[cryopathic]

...should I take that as a yes or a no?

[tread_the_earth]

I hadn't thought of it.

What do you think?

[cryopathic]

If it's going to be consumed. I think it would be good to name it something appropriate.

Like 'Tasty' or 'Delicious'. You are what you're named for, after all.

[tread_the_earth]

What you're named for, hm? Perhaps it should be called Devourer of Eleven Gardens, then.

[cryopathic]

Vexen is an archaic form of 'vexed'. I don't believe I need to expound any further.

How large is that thing?

[tread_the_earth]

I thought you chose the name because nothing else worked well with "Even"?

It's on the small side; only about 10 pounds. I suppose I'll have to make sure it's fattened up in the next few weeks.

[cryopathic]

There's that, too.

Hmm. Make sure no one feeds it any of those Halloween 'treats', or your turkey may not live that long. Those candies can get rather stuck.

[tread_the_earth]

I will keep that in mind. Especially with a turkey. Apparently some turkeys have drowned from looking up at the rain and forgetting to shut their mouths.

[cryopathic]

Definitely a creature you should be keeping an eye on, then. Wouldn't want to have to prematurely roast it, after all.

[tread_the_earth]

... If that happens, I suppose I'll have to buy another one.
