I'll probably regret bringing this up, but have you abandoned the whole "bird with a funny bill" thing?

Good, because I still say my soul would be something slightly more menacing. [ more menacing? ] Yeah, alright, maybe that's not the best word choice.

How about "less ridiculous?" [ there's something strangely familiar about all this! ] Wait -- haven't I said this before?

...And everyone rallied to defend the birds. Right. I remember now.

COME ON NURSEBRO :|

[slewthetyrant]

Mm, no, you don't really strike me as menacing at all.

ONE DAY NURSEBRO ONE DAY

[theprettyone]

Yeah, no, menacing wasn't right. What I really meant to say was anything not this.

[ oh god he's just sealed his own fate by saying "anything," hasn't he? ]

[slewthetyrant]

My highly scientific research - by which I mean typing "animals with big noses" into Google - suggests that you might be lucking out. Can you even imagine being one of those monkeys?

[keptbiting]

If anything you'd be a duck.

[theprettyone]

Care to explain how I'm the least bit like a duck?

[ DON'T ENCOURAGE THEM AMY 8( ]

[keptbiting]

Really very cute, bit stupid looking, beats up anyone who messes with their ducklings.

[ofdrumsthesound]

My soul is probably something out of Lovecraft . . .

[theprettyone]

Gallifrey doesn't have its own animals, then?

[ofdrumsthesound]

It did, but I don't think any of them were horrible enough to fit.

[badpenny]

Rory, I feel it's important to embrace the bird with a funny bill.

Not literally. Unless that's your kind of thing.

[theprettyone]

No.

[ It's not his thing and he will not embrace it. Ever.

Unless... ]

Perhaps if you embrace whatever big chinned animal they'd think up for you.

[ Which according to google images should be Jay Leno. Congratulations, Doctor. ]

[badpenny]

Mun says she'd give me a platypus, which I find delightful.

[He claps an arm around Rory's shoulders.]

Go on, then, Rory the Roman. Your turn.

YES COME JOIN US

[remembermeandrun]

[Ooh~. Someone she knows going to the same place she is and an opportunity to tease.

You're too good to her, Nina.]

Dunno. Didn't really call you Beaky Boy for nothing, did I? [Then again, her mun's chosen a little yappy dog for her, so Oswin really can't talk too much, can she?]

[farflunghope]

Well, that's the thing about birds, isn't it? Always rallying to get people riled up, with their beaks and their soulless staring eyes that seem to remind you of a moment not too long ago when you remembered you left the oven on and subsequently ended up burning down a bakery when bakeries weren't meant to exist.

We all have stories like that.

And anyway, it's better to be a bird than something that can't fly at all.

[comeonthensexy]

Because there's nothing wrong with birds. Not enough to be like that, anyway.
