[snakes on a plate]

[namedforthedog]

[maybe it's just because Halloween is coming up, but there are rubber snakes all over the mess hall tonight. There are one or two real ones, and they seem to be hanging out around one man.]

You've got to be kidding me.

[ooc: passing out, I will pick up any new/old threads tomorrow]

[you sir, are crazy]

[walks in and immediately jumps on a chair before noticing that most of the snakes are fake]

WHAT THE HELL?!

[namedforthedog]

[that was his reaction at first, too]

They're fake.

[capslockbutler]

[points at one of the real ones]

That one's not!

[namedforthedog]

[getting up on his chair]

Damn it!

Well, it wasn't exactly the first thing that came to the forefront of my mind when I was contemplating possible Halloween decorations this morning, but I guess it'll work!

[namedforthedog]

I disagree.

[pushing some rubber ones off the table]

[cant_touch_this]

I guess that'd mean you're not exactly a fan of the Suborder Serpentes--

[But before the girl named Chuck could launch into such interesting factoids as snakes possessing eyes that were excellent for tracking their prey, or that their forked tongues were exemplary in collecting airborne particles to pass on to their Vomeronasal organ for examination, she came to the sudden realization that the man before her, who possessed such a disliking for the Suborder Serpentes was none other than--]

[Oh hey, it's... you. Whatever your name is.]

Camp will have its jokes, I suppose. Whether they're actually funny or not.

[namedforthedog]

This one is definitely not funny.

[lol_intertubes]

[It's a good thing you can't see Orochi menacing some of the real snakes, who don't look all that happy to see him at the moment.]

The first word that comes to mind is "puerile."

[namedforthedog]

Exactly.

Indy, you've got some snakes.

Snakes are generally safe to eat, as long as you don't ingest the venom of a poisonous one. They tend to be high in fats, proteins and vitamins. Snake always told me that they tasted pretty good, and I think you'll find they tend to provide pretty good Stamina recovery.

Plus, if you're looking for some new boots, snake skins are fairly popular for certain styles of boots.

[namedforthedog]

...

You want to make boots out of them, that's fine with me. Talk to me when they're done.

[itcamefromcamp]

I don't want to make boots out of them. They're...pretty.

[namedforthedog]

Then take them, I don't want them.
