can someone tell me what kind of animal this is?



i've never seen anything like it before and i don't think it likes me very much but it lives here now?? not in my part of the quarters though

something completely different
i've been trying to get the bar into working shape and i used to work as a bartender back home, which i liked
if i can be more useful doing something else, let me know, but if not
would anyone mind if i try to keep the bar in shape and run it? not for money, just for something to do
some of the bottles there have stuff that's still good so we might as well

you know a lot about them
i just heard my roommate in the bathroom and then there it was
do you think i should throw out my toothbrush??

let me ask peter if he minds visitors
he seems to have some experience with the racoon?

[splinten]

I read about them. They used to be a thing on Earth before it all went to shit.
If you can get an easy replacement, sure. If not, see what we have for sanitation.
All else fails, you can give it a rinse and then I'll hold it out in the vacuum of space long enough for any bacteria or viruses to die.

Sure, no problem.
They seemed common on Earth back in the day, so maybe that's why.

[spinals]

what do you mean you can hold it in the vacuum??
don't put your hand out there

( the rest of his message does not compare to that bit, sorry )

[splinten]

I mean I'd go out of the airlock completely.
It's fine, apparently 'space survival' comes with my power set.
A raccoon, accordingly, isn't a foe I'm concerned about losing to.

[her priorities are, perhaps, wiser than his]

[spinals]

how can you go out??
i mean
how do you not die

[splinten]

That's something with a long answer, a stupidly long answer, and a short answer.
The short answer is I have magic powers that make space flight a thing for me.

[spinals]

that's cool
how did you get those?

[splinten]

It's kind of stupid.
I played a video game that interfaces with the fabric of reality, and the video game had me die and get resurrected as a God.
Divinity apparently includes space flight powers by the game's rules.

[spinals]

i'm just going to pretend that made any sense at all to me

[splinten]

Yeah. It's basically all like that.

[spinals]

and i thought my life was weird

[splinten]

Is your life weird?
It lacks raccoons, so I guess you could count that as one point towards a kind of normalcy.

[spinals]

stuff used to randomly float around me sometimes
that was pretty weird
though i know why that happened now so it's less weird i guess

[splinten]

Are you telekinetic or something?

[spinals]

i didn't think so
but i guess i kind of am
i mean, not really me but
yeah

[splinten]

It sounds kind of like there's a story here or something.
What do you mean by kind of, but not really you?

[spinals]

i had an accident when i was younger and got this implant
that's what's doing the stuff, not me

[splinten]

Huh.
Do you control what it does?

[spinals]

i'm learning how to!!
or i was

[splinten]

Did you stop learning here or something?

[spinals]

yeah
brand isn't here
he was teaching me
i mean i'll still try to figure it out and practice and get better

[splinten]

I guess that would be tough to adjust to.
Let me know if there's anything some random guy who thinks raccoons are cool can help with.
At the least, I have a lot of experience in autodidactic education.

[spinals]

maybe?
i'm just worried that if i do something wrong, it'll
blow a hole in the station or something

[splinten]

Ok, that's a pretty fair concern.
Maybe you can figure out a way to try it out in space away from things.

[spinals]

maybe? but then what if i blow a hole in my suit
i haven't figured it out yet but maybe i will
thank you for helping!!
