[text/video] un: linneus

Good day, everyone.

While I hate for my second of these... missives to be another message asking for help, I fear that is precisely what it is and I do beg your patience.

I recently came home to find a large egg sitting on my doorstep. With little idea what to do I brought it home, kept it swaddled and warm and eventually it hatched. The animal that emerged... I have never seen its like before. It appears to be a sort of horse, but much shorter, with a longer neck and a smaller face. And a good deal... fluffier? Than any horse I've ever seen.

She has taken well to eating grass, and has shown to particularly favour munching on my flowerbeds. It seems she is managing well enough - flourishing, even. But I had hoped someone might enlighten me as to what kind of creature she is, and whether there might be other foods I can provide for her?

Also a name - I confess I have always struggled terribly with naming things! So any suggestions would be quite welcomed.


[the text is followed up by a brief video clip - slightly wobbly, as Linneus turns the camera on himself-]

So that you have an idea of what it is you are naming...

[turning the camera around, the scene is quite cosy now that his home is settled again. A fire crackles away, and there is a small table near his armchair bearing a cup of tea, his feet resting on a small stool. The cosiness would be complete perhaps with a blanket, but his "creature", dozing with her head on his lap, is more than making up for the lack of one.

To those familiar, a llama indoors is probably a strange sight - stranger still this llama's size, as she can't be more than three feet tall. She snores, and there is the sound of Linneus chuckling softly before the video feed is cut.]


((Please feel free to flood Linn with name suggestions for the miniature llama he now has? ))

That's so cute!

It looks kind of like a llama! A lot smaller, but that doesn't say much on this planet...

Well, it's not like I'm an expert... I just know roughly where they lived on my former planet, and that they're herbivores - you found that out already!

[Quick, think of something more! Something fun!]

And they spit!

[Nailed it.]

oh God, my sympathies :/

M-Maybe so! [There's really no being sure about anything on this planet, but now Atsushi feels like he's summoned spitting by upsetting some kind of cosmic balance - like calling it has made it true.] And if she does end up spitting, maybe you could train her to spit on burglars? Look - like a guard llama!

[He really, really needs to stop talking - but he can't! He's on a roll now, and trying to fix his mistake only makes everything ten times worse, as usual - which makes him want to fix things ten times harder, etc. etc. It's a vicious circle.

Fortunately there is actual good news to focus on.]


That's great! I'm glad that you're getting along already.

[personal profile] gekkajuu 2018-02-05 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Yeah, he's just. Not going to say anything. Ever again, if he has a choice...]

It's... not like she could bite anyone.

[So spitting is her best option! Probably. Maybe... At least Atsushi is talking again? And with Linneus talking about his past, Atsushi can feel genuinely happy for him.]

I see. I'm glad that you found a new companion.

As for names... I don't think I'm any good at those. Maybe Curly...?

[Alternatively: Larry or Moe??]

That looks like a llama, but it's much smaller than any sort I've ever seen.
Any clue who left the egg?

Oooh, she's cute, though I've no idea what kind of animal she is.

[ Never mind that Reign was over here fawning and cooing over the tiny llama. ]

She's hatched from an egg as well? Hm, funny how some of us received these strange eggs. I would have suggested "Cotton", but she doesn't have the look. What about "Woolie"?

A cute pet should get a cute name.

[ It was only right! ]

A friend of mine also had his pet tiger hatched from an egg, and I've got one myself too recently.

[ There must be some kind of explanation for this, though Reign didn't know what. ]

Hm, she is indeed. But I'd suggested that name before to someone asking suggestions for a cat. It would be more special if the name is uncommon. What about "Cotton Candy"? She does kind of remind me of it.

Yes...

Sorry, that wasn't a very good suggestion.

Even so, I think she deserves a better one.

She looks a little like a cloud? But I don't know if that would work as a name, especially for a girl...

I don't really know any languages except Japanese... There, it would be kumo.

[Not necessarily feminine. Still kind of cute.]

Ah - of course! My name is Atsushi. Nakajima Atsushi. It's nice to meet you!

[heyyyy, it's the guy who helped him off that olympia roof! not that linneus will recognize him, considering it's. text. but still.]

you should call it akuma, because something that cute could only be secretly evil
it's already eaten your flowers with impunity, that's probably just step one of its master plan

That's the one! With the pretty blue eyes and all. I would have named her "Duchess" myself, but said person thinks it's not good enough.

[ Huff huff, but then again, the cat wasn't his.

Speaking of tigers though, Reign could only sigh blissfully. ]


They are, but Daifuku is quite small, and seems to stay that way. He's a white miniature tiger, very friendly and lovable. If you've the chance, you should meet his owner, Atsushi. I'm quite certain Daifuku would never harm your cute creature.

Oh? Duchess Cotton does have a nice ring to it.

[ What was naming sense? Reign likely had it as bad as Linneus, but he would definitely agree that cats should be given special titles. Or the very least, all pets. ]

Is that so? What a pleasant surprise! If I remember correctly, Atsushi said it's a name of a food. A sweet dessert made from rice cake called mochi. Maybe your pet can be named after some kind of sweet...
