What are you up to tonight?
(( @absintheabsence ))
Currently, trying to get used to a wolpertinger that’s in the room.
I recognise it, it’s the one that always, without fail, every time I came in and out of here as a bird tried to hunt and kill me.
I know it recognises me as well because it’s seen me in both forms.
It’s really quite awkward. Based on its overall demeanour it almost seems like it thinks it’s awkward too.
“I know you, you try to kill and eat me every time I go out the window and now you live here.” versus, “I know you, you’re the one I always try to chase and kill every time you go out the window and now I live here.”
I thought about shifting and flying around the room just to be spiteful, since it’s got a damaged wing and can’t fly but that felt a bit mean as evidenced by the fact that I admitted it would have been spiteful.
I also don’t know anything about wolpertingers but it can’t be good for them to eat what the automation here makes long term. That’s not good for anyone long term.
Can’t even ask someone at work because I’m fairly certain I’ve burned most bridges with the magizoologists at the Ministry mostly on account of them insisting on bringing various animals with them to my office and that just never works out.
Most animals have the damn sense to be properly frightened by everything in the room and things get a bit noisy and chaotic.None of them cared for the indication that I thought their animals had better sense than they did or asked them why they’d subject an animal to something they know will upset them, because “What’s the matter with you? Do you enjoy mistreating animals in front of colleagues?”.
His name is Siegfried, by the way.
