99th Devotion: SCIENCE!

[favoritetraitor]

[Back-timed to mid-morning]

ARTEMIS is interested in acquiring a few of today's specimens for study. To this end, we are willing to pay for anyone interested in capturing a living dinosaur, and delivering it to the City Lab in relatively decent condition. If anyone is interested, please contact me for further instructions. And please, considering

Interesting offer~! May I inquire about the reward?

[favoritetraitor]

Depending on the species being brought in, we're prepared to offer anywhere from 50-200 Oranges. Please understand that anyone interested would be doing this at their own risk and we expect them to take the greatest care.

That is so very thoughtful of you, Master! To warn everyone so~

I ignore the breed of the darling creature that has become... attached to me. Yet perhaps you will be able to identify it? He is rather large.

[favoritetraitor]

'Master'? ...

You have one of these animals as a... pet?

[1001teatimes]

We stumbled upon each other in the forest and have been together ever since~! I would not call him a pet but an accidental companion!

[favoritetraitor]

How remarkable... And yes, by all means... why don't you bring him by so we can see him?

[1001teatimes]

If you kindly provide me with directions I will be glad to oblige! Yet I have only one question.

[favoritetraitor]

And what might that be?

[1001teatimes]

I am not as familiar with science as I am with enchantments, but would this research you intend to conduct involve dissecting and stuffing the poor little dear? Killing him, in any way?

[favoritetraitor]

Please don't be concerned. I gathered that in your case, you would prefer for your 'companion' to stay out of the laboratory.

But, if you like, I'd still be willing to see if I can't determine his species.

I see. So your research will be impossible to do while keeping him alive...

Well, that is quite sad~! Yet if it is for the sake of science I trust he will consider it a sacrifice to a good cause!

[favoritetraitor]

Well, my research in particular would mostly consist of a full blood panel. I specialize in such matters, amongst other things.

But it's important for us to learn as much as we can about these creatures before they vanish once again. It is possible that we might get another such opportunity another time, but then again, it might never occur again.

[1001teatimes]

Blood studies, mm~? Is that not quite fascinating...

I understand the uniqueness of this opportunity like you have no idea~! I shall mourn for this child's noble sacrifice to it with all my heart after I lead him to your quarters, I assure you.
