- I'll watch your career with great schadenfreude.

"Suffering with meaning. Lessons hard learned turned to something useful." "And my own work, of course. I'll own narcissism with pride. Pride being the same thing as narcissism. The recursion is fun."

"I'd hope. I try very hard to not try hard at being cool."

"... He would know how to respond to that better than me. He's... been through quite a bit, when it comes to memory." "Unfortunately, due to circumstances... he is laying low, at the moment. And for being a big tall sportsdog, he's really good at not being found."

- I just want to see how far you can get into every predator.

"Alternate Kemonotown, or something along those lines, maybe? Sparky has a whole theory about it. He says all the important choices that happened in a short span of time... what with the Massacre, and all..." "... It means things split off into other possibilities, and such."

- Glorious. ( He steps off to the side, and... yeah that's a camera. )

- You'll want to keep an eye out over the next few days. They've been around for a bit. Maybe a couple of them will jump at the chance to make a strong friend?

"... Hm." [ He closes the book, paying more attention to the tiger. ] "You just looked distraught... and I thought I recognized your face. A shot in the dim light, but you wouldn't mean Sparky Fritz?"

[ ... There is a dog hereabouts. Reading a book. ] [ He looks like a husky? But he also looks middle aged. He glances up... ] "... Something ailing you?"

- There's a big experiment going on I like to call "How Much Fun Is It When No One Is Having Fun." - Basically a bunch of people get their souls transported here from another world without their consent and now they're stuck and dying a lot.
