I've never celebrated Thanksgiving. I'm not from North America, after all, and even though the holiday isn't exclusive to this place, it's where it's most common. So, I have never observed this day take place. I wonder if the news will be full of stories for it. I like that.

'Birds?' asks Oscar. [The interest of the snake is piqued.] 'You enjoy birds as well, human?' asks Wilde.

[Though Snake is more wondering what this "Thanksgiving" business is all about.]

[heartdissonance]

Hmm, [she says, annoyed at being called human, but that's really her own fault.] Shijima, I am Shijima. But birds are very good, yes.

[A dry pause follows, until: ]

Hello, Oscar. Wilde. I can hear you on your own, your keeper can speak for himself if he wants.

[Oh wow. Wow not sure how to handle this. Never had this happen before.]

You can hear us?

[heartdissonance]

That's what I said. I know you're snakes, but yes, I also know what you're saying.

Why do you want a bird?

[voice]

[heartdissonance]

To eat it.

[voice]

[1800deadguy]

That's what I thought.

Do you mean like a chicken, or some other type of bird? Chicken does sound pretty tasty, now that I think of it.

[voice]

[heartdissonance]

Chicken would be good, but it's a turkey bird I've been hearing about.

[omnisciens]

Nor have I! How exciting, a new holiday to observe! This celebration involves vast overeating until one passes out, or so I've heard.

[heartdissonance]

I don't see what's wrong with doing that anyway.

[omnisciens]

[ neither does he, really. ] Is that so... you must be one of Sensei's type. If you eat so very much every day, you will get tired of that food after a time.

[heartdissonance]

So when I get tired, that is when I'll fall asleep. [She's fully amused by it.]

Do you not have someone to spend Thanksgiving with? [Shijima's always been a strange bird for Tifa. She looks like a little girl, but talks like an older woman, which sets Tifa's maternal instincts spinning in confusion.]

[heartdissonance]

I do not have someone to spend Thanksgiving with! [she announces, like it's something important for everyone to hear, like she doesn't care an inch.]

[meteor_heart]

That's no good, it's much better to have friends for the Holidays. Would you -like- to have thanksgiving dinner with someone?

[about3seconds]

[Does she really think... Someone's going to give her a bird? Does it actually work like that? Because damn, he's been going about this the wrong way... For-like-ever.

Or maybe she just needs educating.]

You ain't gonna get nothin' if you gotta ask for it.

[heartdissonance]

I might, [she says, and blinks. Big-eyed, she follows up with: ] Cat.

[about3seconds]

Maybe when Piloswines start flyin', kid. Anything in this world, you want, you gotta take it or else you ain't gettin' it at all. [Yeah. Kid. Good job deducing that one.] ...And my name's Meowth.

[heartdissonance]

I'll take a bird if I need to. [Peering.] I'm Shijima. Tell me about you.
