Having leapt out of his chair and tumbled a safe distance away within a heartbeat of his window bursting open, Entreri warily regards his ruined morningfeast, jeweled dagger in hand. He cautiously circles to the edge of the window and uses the cover of the still-swinging shutter to invisibly assess the situation. His keen eyes immediately recognize a small retreating figure, skulking into the shadows.  

[[ Hi Anonymous, happy Munday to you too! Thanks so much for sending me an Ask! :D I’m going to make some assumptions for answering your question and I hope that’s ok. >_> First, since it’s a Munday ask, I’m thinking that you’re asking what I would do if I were turned into a chinchilla, and not what Artemis would do if he were turned into a chinchilla. XD If that’s not the case, feel free to correct me and I’ll write something for Artemis. >_> Second, I’m going to operate as a domesticated chinchilla and not a wild one, because in the latter case I think that it’d be more a matter of what I needed to do to survive rather than what I wanted to do. >_> Third and lastly, I suppose I’d have my own human mind in this hypothetical, because otherwise my answer probably wouldn’t be very different from a guide to chinchilla behavior. XD 

Let’s see... I’d definitely want to give that agility and speed a spin! Chinchillas are natural-born experts at parkour, you see. :D As much as I’d like to try free running as my present self, wisdom dictates that I not do so unless I’m amenable to becoming seriously injured. XD I’d also like to give the flying saucer wheel a try. The flying saucer’s unconventional design means that not all chins will take to it, but those that do seem to really love it. My chinchilla Baron really gets his flying saucer to top speeds, and while chinchilla-me definitely wouldn’t be as athletic as the little brown ball of fuzz and muscle, I think I could do more than fail to jump into it like my fat white chin Reiss. XD

I’d also let loose and sing the song of my furry chinny people. XD Chinchillas have such a wide range of sounds and I dunno, I would like to bark and buu into the twilight hours for no reason at all. It’s not something normal chins do but I’ve never claimed to be normal, human or chinchilla. >_>

And of course... DUST BATHS!!! It doesn’t sound at all appealing to me as a mostly hairless creature, but seeing how EVERY chinchilla goes nuts when they sense a dust bath coming, it must be the most awesome thing ever. I mean just look at this little guy. Tell me that you wouldn’t want to try it if you were him. >_>

[11:35:57 PM] Sand: bib inclusion is optional

[11:37:03 PM] Klara: Well if that vegetable is called Entreri... -waggles eyebrows-

[11:37:25 PM] Sand: he'll munch that stalk any day

[11:37:36 PM] Sand: nibble his cob

[11:37:42 PM] Sand: okay that was too corny

[11:37:52 PM] Klara: The stalk, or the root~?

[11:37:58 PM] Sand: ;DD

[11:38:14 PM] Sand: Penis

((Yup. Yes. Precisely what you just said!))

((I can guarantee killing Ophelia would not hurt Bashaa’s feelings. Not one bit. XD))

((Ophie sends regards, she dislikes him too. XD

I meant that all more in the context of her working in a team with others, because Ophie can be extremely rational when others are involved (once she rushed to fight without thinking and Sand ended up dead, so we’re not having that again, nope, NOT EVAAAR!). It’s sometimes quite odd to write Ophelia because fear, that most basic primal of survival ‘I fight for my life because I desperately want to live’ doesn’t work in this way, and she has different motivations for doing things.

((Well… “Intimidating” is a relative concept anyway so what’s intimidating to anon might not be to us, and vice versa. Now that aside, I am not saying Artemis Entreri but… :p ))

((*coughs* Agree to disagree. You write scarily gud. ))

{ Aw shucks, now you’re making me blush. ;-P 

((Totally more of Sand-Ophelia BroOTP with gloriousleadersand . 8D I have plans!

Also, right now with thelostsonofkitiara we have an… interesting development with Teacher’s Pet AU. Both of us didn’t really expect things to turn out this way but we’re far from complaining. On my side, I am ready to go on that journey and see, where it leads.
