[Console, whatever. Sure she got the run down on the thing but Mai's pretty much been ignoring it for the past day. She hasn't even bothered to really look on the network itself even if she has no intention of making an entry to it.

Now she's bothering though, mainly because she just wants to ask:]

Nothing. They aren't exactly plentiful though. ... Where I'm from, I mean.

Well, I can't say I've seen any ostrich horses as far as I remember either.

[The teen makes a slight amused sound.]

So we both just know a bunch of strange animals then. And what about this place, what's odd here. Beyond the turtles anyhow.

Well, if you don't count lizard-swans, then there are the big, man-eating rodents that live underground. Do those count?
