Are you sure about this? I mean-- okay I get it, but I'm just not sure it's going to work out as well as you think it is.

[...]

Not that I really have much of a choice in the matter right? [He lets out a long-winded sigh through his trunk. Which is obviously not going to sound anything like when a human does it through their nose.]

[He doesn't... This is actually an elephant? A talking elephant? He doesn't think he's soused enough to be imagining it. Doesn't think he's dreaming, either.

Walker reminds himself not to stare; it wouldn't do to be discourteous, after all. It isn't the elephant's fault he's an elephant. Probably.]

What is it? I mean... What is this 'it' that probably isn't going to work out?

[bestmemory]

[An elephant in a trenchcoat even! He doesn't mind the staring honestly. He's sort of used to it by this point.]

Just the whole... "playing" me thing. [...] Is that the right word? "Playing" me? ... Is "roleplaying" better?

Anyway, I don't know if me being in a game will work.

[cledonomancy]

[Oh, okay, good, because it's awfully hard not to look at least a little bit surprised. Especially when the elephant responds, brushing aside any doubt that Walker had imagined it in the first place.]

Oh. That. Sure.

I don't really know what the word for it is. Playing or guiding or speaking. I guess we name it to the best of our abilities. Better than focusing on how much we can't do anything about it.

Do you want to be in a game?

[bestmemory]

I guess that's one way to look at it.

[There's a pause at thequestion as he thinks about it.]

I don't know. That's what most muses want though right? To be sent to a game so they're not stuck in someone's head all day? I just don't know if me being sent to a game with all or mostly all humans will work out too well.

I kind of stand out sometimes. Maybe it's the trenchcoat.

[This... elephant, guy has a sense of humor. That's nice. Probably not all elephants have a sense of humor about being elephants. Walker smiles a little, genuine though distant.] You don't see many trenchcoats like that anymore. It's a shame.

Maybe some of those games have-- [What's the right way of saying it?] I mean, if you're here, there are probably others, right? Maybe some of them even have trenchcoats. Or maybe you could start a trend.
