Really mun, I'm already convinced human attitudes towards sex are hopelessly overcomplicated and backwards. I really doubt any place you might send me is going to change my mind.

Oh sure, it would be interesting. But you've said it yourself. I find almost everything interesting.

Mm. You'd be surprised at how little inhibitions these humans can have when left to what their body tells them to do. Quite funny to watch, if nothing more. They rut just as much as any hooved beast could do.

[threetails]

Oh I've seen that. But they have so much... ceremony around it. And they can get so obsessed with it.

[illusionary_fox]

I wouldn't say there aren't animals out there that don't have ceremonial type things for it, either. [A soft snort.] Humans are walking obsessions and contradictions, are you truly surprised?

[threetails]

Well, yea, but animal ceremonies make sense. Human ones... it's like they're making up the rules as they go along, but the rules are super serious and deviating from them is this huge social no-no.

You're right. I shouldn't be surprised.

[illusionary_fox]

Take it from someone that has the misfortune of being around humans of all shapes and sizes and usually the types that will crash and burn. It's not worth the headache to try and figure them out.

[threetails]

But they're interesting. And how am I ever supposed to get more tails if I don't at least try to make sense of them?

[illusionary_fox]

[... Well, she has him there.] I suppose they are, at least they can be from a weird broken kind of standpoint, the kids are always better. Though, uh, guess you really got me there on the tails thing. Not that I've really bothered with it in ages.

Attraction... It creates such a strong bond. Unless treated with care, it may also become a dangerous one.

[threetails]

But why does it do that? And always? And why does it mean people have to get so crazy about it?

[beyonder]

It is the notion of power, my sweet. Being attracted to someone grants them power over you. Puts you at their mercy and may they have mercy on you.

[threetails]

I'm not your sweet. Or anyone else's sweet. I don't think so at least. [She licks her arm lightly] Nope. Not sweet.

But I can understand power.

[beyonder]

Then grasp that which you understand. Experience it and learn from the experience... If it does not pull you under.

[threetails]

Oh trust me, I plan to experience everything I can. Even the parts that don't make sense. Maybe especially those!

[population_ctrl]

Human attitudes. As opposed to what, exactly?

[threetails]

Animal ones. Obviously.

[population_ctrl]

That's an odd comparison to make.

[threetails]

Why so? I mean I know technically humans are animals, but you're so different

[population_ctrl]

Meaning you're not?

[threetails]

Well, I am an animal! But no, I'm not human. Just playing at one for a while to try to figure out how you all work.

[element_wizard]

Humans suffer from special snowflake syndrome.

There's nothing really you can do about it. Expect maybe point and laugh.

[threetails]

That I'm good at. But it's also interesting trying to make sense of it. Educational. [She says the last word slowly, as if she's feeling it out]

[element_wizard]

Oh. No. No. No. You'll just drive yourself crazy doing that.

Better to just stick to pointing and laughing.

[threetails]

I don't think I'll go crazy. I've got time. More time the more I learn. So it's worth it to try to learn.

[element_wizard]

Actually the longer you live the more likely you're going to go crazy.

[threetails]

I don't think it works like that. I get more time as I learn. And if you study something long enough, it will make sense.
