[Video] ♉ Summoner: Settle a dispute.

[rebull]

Well hello~

[From what looks like a tree... The feed clicks on and it looks to be Summoner's usual back drop of sky and some branches. The troll finally woke up and immediately got out to spread his wings, though... all the kittens in his hive sure was nice to wake up to.]

[Also, one MIGHT notice a rather distraught looking squirrel on his right horn. Well, if you might by chance know what a squirrel looks like when it's distraught.]

And how is everyo-! [He starts, the squirrel soon kicking the side of his head. Summoner glares to the side and sighs, looking back at the screen.]

Right, since my company is off his nut about this issue. [Smirks.] I'll get to the point.

My esteemed company and I were having a discussion about the proper percentages of types of food best to be stored by furbeasts of his nature. This discussion works under the uh, the assumption, that, this situation is ideal. As in there is no limit on what can be collected in the right environment. So for example, all the acorns, all of them, all the bark, the weather is always fair, and uh, and so on.

It ended up becoming a discussion about how I do not know anything because I am not a nut gathering furbeast, but I think that since I have spoken to a lot of them that forms some basis, for um, my, opinions, on this matter. He disagreed, so I'm here to ask. Do you think I have enough evidence to properly discuss this with my rather befuddled nut gathering acquaintance? [A flinch, feeling the squirrel tug on his hair.]

UGH, and, he opens himself up for questions too, I'll translate, no worries. He seems to be concerned with this being one sided, so uh, feel free to ask either of us questions, unless you think I'm right.

Because, well, heh, I am. [Hair tug, twitch, scoff.]

[f8tal]

Are you fucking serious?

[rebull]

Uh, why wouldn't I be? We're honestly having a discussion here and he wanted a third party vote.

[aim_exorable]

I'm glad to see you woke up.

[Enjoy his mechanical cats, Summoner?]

[rebull]

That I did! Pretty excited to wake up under a bunch of cool cats pawing at me for attention too.

[Snickers, sending a hooded gaze at the video stream.]

I uh, heh, I assume that'd be your doing, Tink?

Video

[littledoctor]

Assuming ideal conditions, a squirrel would do well to store enough food to last through a sickness, injury, or pregnancy. You can't ever be too careful!

[Don't worry squirrel, David will understand your replies too.]

video

[f8tal]

Why does it even matter? It's just a squirrel.

[aim_exorable]

There was no alternative option. I had to watch after the children, and there was no way to remove you from your hive.

For... obvious reasons.

[A quirk of his eyebrow.]

[life_binder]

[ Okay, you win. You've earned a real and sincere laugh from her. ]

Well, under ideal circumstances, it would come down to the given creature's personal preference, would it not? So I think the real question is, do you prefer nuts over bark, or are you the sort to prefer berries? Same to your friend. Whatever your answers, I imagine they'd both be right.

Video

[rebull]

[Oh man, that is so awesome, someone else that can understand squirrels...]

Well yes, the topic was more about, uh, that some types of foods are more ideal in larger quantities than others? And uh, the thing I am asking now is about how I should have enough experience to be able to discuss this.

Having spoken to a great deal of his kind.

Well, yes, of course! That's assumed, I am pretty sure, lots of food, but this is more about, how this guy, this, guy, red haired grey skinned guy, human, person, not human, it's about how he's wrong! Like, really wrong. He is not a squirrel, he doesn't know me, he doesn't know what I've done! [Distraught squirrel babble~]

video

[rebull]

[Oh nice, he quite enjoys that laugh, thank you! It gains a rather wide smile from him in return.]

Well that part of the topic was more centered around nutritional value? And not, uh, personal preferences. Also what he's mad about is that I shouldn't even really get to discuss this.

Because I'm a troll and not a squirrel. So uh, I'm apparently always going to be wrong even though I have experience talking to squirrels besides him. [A pause, random chittering, Summoner giving an agitated look.]

Yeah, ...always wrong. Though someone doesn't have to be so rude about it. [Sarcastically said, and with a strange squirrel like sound leaving Summoner's mouth after wards. That of which makes the squirrel chitter a lot more and pull his hair again.]

[bestestfurrend]

I have a question!

Mister furbeast, what kinds of games do tree-dwelling furbeasts like you like to purrlay?

[Oh wait, was that supposed to be relevant questions? Nepeta seems to have missed that part.]

And hi, Lysunder! I'm glad you're awake again!

Video

[littledoctor]

Now now brother squirrel, is he really hurting you any by just talking? You might even be able to learn something!

[Oh squirrels, they're always giving their opinions to everyone else and ignoring it when the reverse happens. He looks at Lysunder, highly amused.]

I'm not sure you're going to get a squirrel to take your advice easily.

video;

[rebull]

Oh...

Uh.

Yeah.

Well I don't want to wear them all the time, that'd be weird... And I can't lose my sense of balance? Like, if I were not have smaller horns all the time, I probably wouldn't do well when they were big again.

That'd be pretty uncomfortable and awkward.

Video

[rebull]

[He's going to just stare a you very seriously with a very annoyed expression.]

Video

[rebull]

Don't now now me! Now... now nownownow me, whatever! Don't! I think I seriously have a point here, a serious one, a very serious point. As in, he shouldn't get a say really and this whole discussion is moot. MOOT.

[Summoner is just side eyeing you squirrel. Side. Eyeing. Why do you have to be so rude.]

Oh no, he's gotta understand, we have to reach an agreement here. We can't let this tarnish our record!

video;

[aim_exorable]

I can understand perfectly. I'm simply giving my explanation.

You know... you missed quite the party on the island not too long ago, at least, I have been told that it was very nice.

video

[life_binder]

My apologies, I had presumed nutritional value was already factored in. In that case, I would say you both stand equal chances of being right or wrong but unless you or your friend have medical knowledge beyond common sense, neither can say for sure.

Video

[f8tal]

What????????

[Video]

[last_lombax]

...Okay so exactly what is the problem here?

[rebull]

Nepeta that has... nothing. Okay.. [A rather loud sigh, staring off for a moment. The squirrel soon replies back in chitters with Summoner translates.]

He said that a few games- [Hair tugging. Summoner winces, lifting his hands to make quotes.]

"A lot of uh, yeah, games, games are pretty fun even though, they, um, they they don't really-" Do I have to fucking repeat it word for word?! [Said outloud and trickles through his commune, that of which makes the squirrel angrily climb on his head and tug his hair again.]

UGH. FINE. OKAY. Fucking.

Okay...

"Games like 'which place' which is a basic game of um, taking things, and finding them, and and and, we play a lot of games that are like racing and hopping! We like to hop and run around a lot, and beat eachother to different trees and places! It's pretty fun! Lots of moving and hiding and jumping and and and fun! And then there's the games of finding other squirrels during that certain time of year so we can do the thing that makes young ones and that is pretty fun too but I am not sure if it is always meant to be like, um, fun nice? I have fallen out of trees. Taht is not fun, no, falling out of trees is not fun." [Summoner looks pretty fucking angry the whole time he rattles off that, letting out a long, obvious sigh when he's done.]

Video

[littledoctor]

[Don't mind David, this is funny. It doesn't sound like he's mocking anyone, though.]

Well then, why shouldn't he have a say? Even if he's not a squirrel, he still eats berries and nuts! I know that I try to not store too many berries at a time. They might rot!

[He doesn't expect this discussion to get anywhere, squirrels are nature's planters. They'll always feel compelled to store more than they need. It's fun anyway. A troll taking the time to talk with a squirrel... he never thought he'd see it!]

Video

[rebull]

That's really rude. You should apologize...

video;

[rebull]

I missed what...

video;

[aim_exorable]

A party. A festive gathering. A boat somehow made its way inside the barrier and rested against the beach. I believe the locals were trying to make up for the fright on the first of this month.

Video

[rebull]

[David's obvious light hearted amusement seems to do well for Summoner's nerves. Which is good! Because constant hair tugging by this squirrel is starting to get really annoying.]

Oh, well, he... He's still not a squirrel and this is about squirrels and SQUIRRELS AND WHAT WE, uh, what WE want and need and need to store and eat! So, he... Berries do rot, don't they, I don't like that. They are my favorite, I do not like that they rot.

[Summoner is once again side eyeing. But this expression looks a little awkward. Squirrels man, getting off topic already.]
