ok guys listen i got something i've been thinking about, no one's been able to answer it for me yet
check it out: deer dildos
???
do they use them? it doesn't have to be dildos anything sexy in general, that counts. i'm not buying there's any sentient sexually reproducing species out there that hasn't invented sex toys, so what do deer use. does it have to do with antlers?? i haven't put much thought into deer sex so i'm not working on much here, just tossing out ideas. lemme know, thanks



oh wait one more thing, i really wanna get off this island. i've seen everything and it's boring. these guys suck at technology right? and swimming. oh my god they're so pathetically useless

but WE are way better at both those things! so here's my proposal: we team up and use our evolved smarts and build a floating litter, or popemobile, or something, and get me over to the next island. good, right?? i think we can do it! we got science grandpa AND nerd granduncle running around here, and probably half a dozen other nerds i haven't dug up yet. we can do this. i believe in us. if there's any parties going on on the other islands, let's get me to them.

Your world must feel remorse, losing such a multi-faceted mind.

Why would you protract your stay here when there must be hundreds calling out for answers about inter-species mating rituals?

[heavyhitter]

Wow, hold up, why's everyone so into me fucking these deers? I'm not into that, I'm concerned about their sex lives.

There's a saying where I come from about what comes of walking into the middle of a Flight your dragon isn't attending, which roughly translates into putting your nose into matters that shouldn't concern you.

[There's also a saying about the quickest way to get into a dragonman's heart is to get into his Weyr that is extremely bawdy, but Lessa's trying to refrain from those kinds of jokes because she doesn't want to feed the troll!]

Maybe we could stand to step back a few beats--you and I want the same thing, after all.

Aside from inane questions being answered for the sake of an over-active imagination. We all suspect that the currents are causing trouble, but has anybody attempted to cross them with what abilities they have at hand?

[heavyhitter]

I dunno if anyone's tried it yet, but it's looking like plenty of people got the know-how to do it. [ she's a little smug about all the answers she dug up on that front, actually ] I'll let you know what I find over there.

[queenofsalt]

If you don't, you can expect me to track you down, even if I must listen to every sour-mouthed woman who is, presumably, not a Nalawiian, to do it.

[heavyhitter]

Good presumption, seems solid to me. I mean, it's either that or I'm the most sheltered deer on this island.

[By Faranth's first egg, not this again!]

If you're so well sheltered, I'll know not to intrude.
