Don't let it slime on my carpet.

Is there another one of those sending snails then you can use here? Should we all ask for magical snails?

When it's rested, I want to see it.

[bigsmile]

i don't think he'll be going far, but he does love lettuce so if you have some he might move.

only one here. i didn't think the library would send one when i asked. we think he might be a bit broken but we're going to keep watch and see.

come see him any time!

[longitudinal]

I will steal us a head of lettuce for which to feed him then. I might as well bring a gift considering he is now one of my bunk mates.

But broken? How can a snail be broken? Did you damage his shell?

[bigsmile]

they like head scratches too.

yeah i think so, he keeps saying the same phrase over and over. i don't know what it means but it obviously means something to him. his shell is fine!

[longitudinal]

Lettuce and head scratches. What strange creatures.

What does it keep saying?

[bigsmile]

i guess they know what they like.

it keeps saying omelette du from arrge?

[longitudinal]

what

[ oh look he's interested in copying luffy's text style, too. it's easier without having to hit all the buttons. ]

what does that even mean? omlette du from arrge. do you know where arrge is? what strange creatures.

[bigsmile]

(It is so much easier, though one could argue that a future king of the pirates should be using punctuation.)

i don't know what it means but that's all it says. i don't know where arrge is but maybe it'll be in a book in the library. they're the best creatures i can't believe we have one.

you can get smaller ones too to carry around in your pocket.

[longitudinal]

a book in the library, right. i'll look today - or certainly ask for a book about it.

after that, i want to meet your sending snail from arrge.

if there are smaller ones - how big is this one? should i be concerned that we have a snail the size of a gull or one the size of a bear?

[bigsmile]

you can meet the snail any time, he's living with us so you'll be seeing each other often!

this one is about the size of

(Give him a moment to think.)

a cat? a small dog?

[longitudinal]

a snail the size of a cat or small dog?

we'll need plenty of lettuce then i presume. are you keeping him in your room? her? does it have a name?

[ important questions. ]

[bigsmile]

right. or maybe cats are snail sized?

lots of lettuce and he can stay in my room. i think if the snail was a she they would have said by now. and we're working on the name, you're welcome to add to the suggestions!

[longitudinal]

[ well then. ]

snail sized cats - i agree, this is the most logical.

[ it's not. ]

i'll think of some names, but in the meantime i'll let you know what i discover about arrge. maybe you can communicate better with it once we know. it could be homesick.
