OK, since Xion got me a surprise gift yesterday, I think I should make a little PSA.

[He holds up a gray rat with a few small white spots so the camera and thus those watching can see it.]

This is Smoke, the familiar I was given in the last world I was in. And aside from anything magical, that means that he's basically my pet.

So all you science types on board? That means this little guy is off limits as a potential experiment. And for all the cats and other creatures on board who might normally eat rats? That means he's also not a potential meal. Got it memorized?

Everyone else shouldn't have anything to worry about with him though; he's pretty well behaved, as rats go. And I'll try to make sure he stays out from underfoot, metaphorically and literally. Just... don't freak out if you see him peeking out of my pocket now and then, OK?

[So she pressed the ICP button to say something about the rat friend.]

[...]

[But she forgot what she was about to say. Smoke is too cute. She just wants to stare at him.]

[blitzcheer]

Cute guy! Soo, you're saying he can't puff himself into a pile of smoke?

[ A joke, a joke! ]

He is adorable~

[Yes, she thinks he is. But she smiles, she gotta say something else...]

So does he take after you? I mean they do say pets take after their owners after all.

Isn't that a little obvious? The only animals on board this dumb thing are people's pets, yo.

[agoodsoul]

Cute little bugger. If I happen to see him around I'll be sure to return em.

He like treats or anything?

An... interesting choice of roommates.

[Is she judging? Disinterested? It can be hard to tell with Sharon, especially since she's still smiling.]

Well, thanks for the heads up. I suppose I'll be seeing Smoke quite often.

[labcatte]

Oh, he's adorable.

[They pause for a moment, if remembering what they look like.] And don't worry, I'm not going to eat him. Promise.
