Muse is not looking forward to a certain event.

[thepoweroflove]

Mun, I know you want to do this, but Doc just got here. Can't you wait at least a few weeks before you do this to me? I don't even see why you still plan on doing this unless it's a plan to get everyone to hate me. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the point, actually... But you said it yourself that you hated the idea of it lasting forever. So why not just wait a little while longer until you feel more comfortable with... this, okay?

[He can't help but chuckle a bit at that.] Really? Why?

[thepoweroflove]

Because one of his partners owns a living Dodo and I guess you'd be into that kind of thing?

[He honestly doesn't know if he is, he's just going by what his mun told him.]

[beingthecreature]

[Oh Marty, you've gone and done it now.]

W-wait. Am I... hearing you right? [Just listen to the barely-contained excitement in his voice.] A real, breathing dodo?

[thepoweroflove]

Yeah, I don't think she'd lie about this sort of thing.

[beingthecreature]

[The restraint is starting to slip...] Oh maann, this is amazing! Incredible! The dodo hasn't been seen for over three hundred years!

Oh, he's GOT to bring it to the city! It's a matter of scientific curiosity, of LIFE!

[thepoweroflove]

[In the distance, you can hear a "That's what the last one said!".]

You think it would be safe there, though?

[beingthecreature]

Yes, of course it'd be safe! Even if my brother and I have to do it ourselves. There's no better place to have an animal than the Tortuga.

[thepoweroflove]

Yeah, I have no idea what a Tortuga is, Chris.

[beingthecreature]

[He laughs softly.] Right, sorry, though I doubt most would in this case. [He messes around briefly with a device in the glove on his wrist, which then projects a screen showing an image like this.] The Tortuga is our HQ. When me and my brother Martin arrive in the city, we'll be bringing it with us.

[thepoweroflove]

That's an... interesting looking headquarters.

[King of tact, this guy.]

[beingthecreature]

Well, it suits our needs, that's for sure.

[thepoweroflove]

Yeah, and you can tell what it is supposed to be for the moment you look at it.

[beingthecreature]

[Snickers.] A mobile creature research base?

[thepoweroflove]

Yeah, that's what it looks like, I think.

[beingthecreature]

[Chuckle] Good, because that's what it is. We're able to go all around the world in it, and it's got all the, pardon the pun, creature comforts a person could need, as well as a research lab for our Creature Power Suits. [Lesson learned perhaps, as this time he explains himself ahead of time by gesturing to the odd vest that he's wearing.] With a little animal knowledge and the right power disk, we can become almost any animal in the known animal kingdom.

[thepoweroflove]

So... you're animal super heroes?

[Because that sounds pretty weird.]

[beingthecreature]

Not really, no. We're actually researchers, looking to learn everything we can about every creature out there. That includes about how they move, and what makes them tick.

[thepoweroflove]

Huh, didn't know that people could research animals like that.

[Of course, other universes.]

[beingthecreature]

Honestly, at first? Neither did we. We started out doing it traditionally-- you know, traveling around the world with nothing but ourselves and our packs. But then Martin and I met Aviva- the one who developed the Tortuga and the power suits, among other technology -and everything changed about how we worked.

[thepoweroflove]

Wow, sounds like someone that Doc would love to talk to.

[beingthecreature]

My mun's nodding, so you must be right. Maybe one day she'll come to the city, too. [With any luck once we can enable somebody.]

[thepoweroflove]

Well that's one thing for Doc to look forward to, at least.

[beingthecreature]

So what's Doc like, anyway?

[thepoweroflove]

He's this big science-y type. You know, the kind who's life is devoted to inventing stuff.

[beingthecreature]

Hah, yeah that sounds just like Aviva. Sometimes I think her inventions are her first priority, and our safety second. [He pauses for a quick thought, then chuckles and sighs.] In fact, I know so...
