[ And once the picture's saved, she skips back to where she was standing earlier, which wasn't really that far. ]

It totally was! Now go, go. Go get your prize, and I'll take another picture.

[shacklebreaker]

[So bossy, gosh. But after a few moments of contemplating the many choices on offer, he comes away with an owl plushie.]

...I think this one will do nicely. [Quick, get a photo while he's actually smiling!]

[psycholawgy]

[ THE PHOTO HAS DEFINITELY BEEN TAKEN. ]

You look like you're having a hoot over there.

[ Eh? Eh? Ehhh???? She looks rather proud of her pun. Please laugh. ]

[shacklebreaker]

...

[TUMBLEWEED...........]

That was truly dire.

[psycholawgy]

I thought it was good!

[ She needs a better audience. ]

[shacklebreaker]

It was a valiant effort, I suppose. [The answer is always to be your own audience and laugh, even if no one else finds it funny.]

Seeing as though I suggested a name for your prize, why don't you choose one for mine?

[psycholawgy]

[ That is the worst advice. You are the least bit helpful. ]

What about Chouette?

[ French for owl!! ]

[shacklebreaker]

What does it mean? I'm afraid I lack a French roommate to consult.

[psycholawgy]

Then I guess you'll just have to ask the whole network.

[shacklebreaker]

Must I trouble everyone over one paltry word?

[This is Athena, so of course the answer is already "yes"...]

How is it spelled?

[psycholawgy]

Alright.

C-h-o-u-e-t-t-e.

[shacklebreaker]

[He tucks his new owl under one arm, and dutifully pulls out his Cerevice, typing it in for later reference.]

[psycholawgy]

Did you get it?

[shacklebreaker]

I did. I shall ask the network about it later.

[He folds the device and replaces it back into a pocket inside his surcoat. There has to be at least one other French speaker around here, right?]

[psycholawgy]

¡Muy bien! I hope you get your answer. But I'll probably respond to it if no one does.

[ She's so nice ;_; ]
