I've never thought about Elmo like that. Never considered what sort of muscles he has under all that red fur.

That's fair. Three year old's (Elmo's three and a half, technically) are scary strong, like little tanks. I don't know how they do it. They just fall and get right back up, not a single fuck given. Crazy.

A chocolate worm? You could try killing and eating it. In fact, I'll help! I doubt a wriggling worm is a threat anyway. Unless you think it's Do you think it's scary Unless you're, like, scared of a worm? LOL

How do you kill a chocolate worm? Melt it? The sun is out and it's doing a shit job, how can we do better? What kind of chocolate do you think it might be? I'm not scared of normal worms, nah. But whatever this shit is, sure, it has me rattled but I'm not scared-scared of it.

[pm] I'm definitely on to something. Do you need someone to help you make friends? I know this old guy who probably Maybe you should get really into classic cars or something.

[pm] Yeah, maybe so. I go every Wednesday morning to get new comics when they release. That counts, right? And what hobbies do you have?

[pm] Still do— I'm with the circus. Acrobat and trapeze artist. Got a hoop and some silks hung up in my apartment. Never seeing that safety deposit again [...] Working on getting back there. This is just a really fucking long rest stop. No moon stuff for me. Had a pair of brothers in the show stuck on that monthly night off schedule. Hard to juggle and throw knives with paws.

[pm] Oh wow, shit, that's really cool. And you can do that all at home? It'd be cool to see that sometime. It always looked intimidating to me, like the amount of control and strength required for that is just...wow. Wait. Does th No fear of heights or anything? I hope you're able to get back to them one day. I'm sure you will. One of us has to be able to go back ho And they...just came back like normal, to be able to perform and go about things like they did before they shifted? They were able to be ok

Oh, a graboid?! Chocolate!? My attention is set to focused for the first time in forever. How big was it? Did it look like it might fly some day? You should punch it, to see if checks the vibe with it's continued existence at your place!

A what?

....wait. CHOCOLATE WORM?!?!?! Well what's the big deal then?? Why don't we just eat it??

The whole it being a giant chocolate worm is kind of a big deal, I guess. Do...Do you want to go eat it? Is that safe? Does it feel?

Me? What makes you think I was asking for myself? [... ... ...] Wouldn't know, really. Trumpet ain't much of a standalone instrument in many genres. Probably some shit that'd make folks feel like they're somewhere in Italy, haha.

Oh, my bad for assuming, I thought you were taking a survey or something. I think people wouldn't mind a trumpet. It doesn't have to be full Italy, it could get to ska pretty fast. Like trumpet-only covers of Reel Big Fish, y'know?
