I didn't know John could make particular ones. Although writing it out, it seems silly I didn't. It suits you well.

Silver isn't a problem, but we're not invulnerable to regular bullets, either. So I guess it kind of evens out. We do also heal up faster than most humans, but it's hardly instantaneous. More like 'oh, I thought that looked more serious.'

Oh, they can all shapeshift, apparently. I found the default form with no face a little creepy, no offense to them all. But I love this little darling, its name is Ancient Egyptian for Sweetheart because it's a little Sweetheart ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

It sounds like it's mostly upsides, then? Good for you, well done with that. I like that you've managed to make all sorts of unconventional connections to people here, it's really nice to hear about...

Okay, please tell me what that name is, because that's downright adorable.

Unconventional connections seem to be the only ones I can make, so it's lucky for me that they're much easier to find here.

Oh, it's Nedjem! That's also the first ever recorded name for a companion animal - from Puimre, buried in the Theban Necropolis. He had a portrait of himself, smiling, and a picture of his cat, little perky short-haired thing wearing a cloth collar. And labeled with her name! Ancient people were really just like us, when they weren't owning slaves and having loads of royal brother-sister marriages and things like that.

It's one of the things I'm really really really enjoying about the Barge! Zero people have told me to stop texting them. You texted me on purpose!

Sounds like humans have always been prone to seeking companionship with animals. Say hello to Nedjem for me?

I did. And I have to admit, I've been really enjoying the conversation. I'm not usually so chatty on these things.

It says hi and that it's whatever the it/its version of a very good girl is. Very good cat.

I am too! I think you're really fun. Do you play any Go? I just realized I haven't been able to use my app in ages because I'm cut off from the internet.

No internet's mostly been good, though. I don't know if you've checked on Earth news since you came here, but 🚫d🚫o🚫n'🚫t🚫.
