There's Reira. She's still here... I don't know. No one's going to be anything like the person most precious to me, so maybe it doesn't matter so much. And they might have talked about something else, when I wanted to talk about my new pet.
<CheeryCherry>
Oh, that's... ]
So since we'd talked about it before, you thought I was a good candidate.
Tell me whatever you want then, okay? I'll listen.
< r.gardner >
Snails aren't boys or girls. Some snails you don't even need two of them to reproduce, they'll just do it on their own. That might limit the names a bit... Or maybe it doesn't matter?
<CheeryCherry>
< r.gardner >
Mm... Both of the pets I was given by others here were named after flowers. I might do something else this time, since it's mine alone.
<CheeryCherry>
Okay, no flowers. Would you want to name it after a person?
< r.gardner >
There's a book on liches I read once. I don't remember the title or author, but I remember it's on the third shelf of one of the stacks against the back wall of the second floor in Bavan's public library.
...I thought about naming it after someone, but if Zack comes back he'd be mad about it, I think. Everyone else has their names already used here.
<CheeryCherry>
There ARE books that cover a lot. I got one for my friend's birthday and he seems to have new things to say every time I see him. Maybe not as much as actual books on monsters, though. How do you remember something that specific but not the title of the book?
No people, then. Maybe naming it after something is a bad idea, then. Is there any name it specifically looks like to you?
< r.gardner >
...Snail words aren't cute. "Gastropod", "mollusk". But that's what comes to mind.
<CheeryCherry>
You could break one of those words down into something cute? No one would have to know where you got it from.
< r.gardner >
That's true. I bet I could even find something that's close to a normal name. I'll make a list and we'll look at it together later.
...I mean my pet, not you. In case you were worried. I think you probably wouldn't like talking to me too often.
< r.gardner >
Like, if I don't want to, I can just tell you.
[ Okay mostly. Usually she's quite the people-pleaser, but. Well, she thinks she can actually keep her end of that this time. Like she doesn't particularly want to talk about Aunamee. Or excessive murder. Or stuff like that. ]
< r.gardner >
<CheeryCherry> ; oh i hecked that previous username rip
I'd ask for the same but you seem like a really honest kid.
< r.gardner > lmao I didn't even notice oops...
...Actually, I know a lot of people that hate liars...
<CheeryCherry>
Is your dad one of them?
< r.gardner >

<CheeryCherry>
You said something before about not letting him know we were talking, though. That it might make him try and push a fight or something.
< r.gardner > ableism
I don't know why he's interested. I don't know if it matters to me anymore. We're not the same even if you aren't "normal" either. The reason I wanted to talk to you this time was something I decided on my own. If that makes him mad at anyone, it should be me for doing something unexpected, and he won't hurt me. You don't have to worry, Miss Riley. If I'm right, you're not in any more or less danger than before.
<CheeryCherry>
Are you sure he won't hurt you? Absolutely sure?
< r.gardner >
[If he wants to be perfect, he won't try to kill her, at least. He won't be like her last father.]
Even if he breaks that trust...it's difficult to hurt a slime. It's pretty amazing how durable this body is.
