Eleven Purple Files

[proudambassador]

A top. I have been given a top. Is it meant to say something? This world, it spins about? Or is it just another item to go on a shelf and make me wonder what it could possibly mean? At least it is not as annoyng as the bear, no.

I have made some bids. This, it should be interesting. I much look forward to winning them. And if not, I shall simply have to visit the people myself and see how they are.

[Edited to add a short time later] My dear Stellaris, I fear I must apologize. The last bid on you, it was not my own. Many of them were. But if you are to find extra time, I would still like to spend time with you.

A parade? Like the one in the summer, with the falling pieces of paper?

Ah, you mean a toy of some sort. Have to admit I wondered.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes. That is the one.

Myself, I would not keep a bear. I would not keep a kitten. Too much work, hm? They need attention. I do not do attention well.

So I wasn't the only one left with something puzzling from that one.

I reckon I understand. I have a dragon, after a fashion, but he keeps himself.

What were you left with, my dear Hawk?

There are a great many dragons here, no? I am glad I have not been eaten.

It was a kind of box. Apparently some people use them to pack their food. I'm not sure I even still have it; didn't have much use for it.

None of them would eat you, friend. Havoc's the only one that even subsists on meat.

A box for food? If you find it again, I would like to see it, hm? It sounds most odd.

I am too rotund to go down their throats. My shape, it is a defensive mechanism.

I'll see if it turns up. You might see people carrying them around, though. Just a small metal box, divided in smaller compartments.

Well, now you're jesting with me.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

And people, they store food in these?

Of course I am. I am a jest, this place is a jest, all is jest.
