text; siri how do i tell everyone i know i'm a werewolf but like, casually

[woofdad]

So, I was wondering - what's something from your world that's been really weird to find out isn't universal? For example, I'm a werewolf and I've been kind of surprised by how many worlds we apparently don't exist in. It's a weird feeling.

Related, is cats having extra eyes a thing where you're from or not, asking for both me and my boyfriend.

It's definitely weird not to see some green in a crowd.
Not that there are exactly a lot of other goblins where I am from, but orcs are pretty common.

[Common enough that the all-human crowds feel wrong to Riz, at least. Like those TV shows that got made before diversity on TV started being a thing and the casts were always all humans and elves unless they maybe needed a villain.]

That sounds super weird, but then, the cats here can breathe fire and stuff, so maybe that's just what cats are like where you are from.

Man, I can only imagine, that must be really offputting.

[He's definitely imagining an impression along the lines of those old shows where the entire cast was just... white, non-magical humans. Creepy.]

Yeah, it's just a part of how they work for us. Though, I can confirm ours DON'T breathe fire, it's not like they're goats.

[Hey Grant you maybe wanna run that one by again]

Okay, just FYI, because the cat thing took you by surprise too
but I'm pretty sure goats breathing fire is a pretty specific your world thing too.
At least, I don't think goats do that where I am from.
Lots of other things that breathe fire, but not goats.

[Though, in all fairness, being a city boy, it's not like Riz spends a lot of time around goats. Unless you count Satyrs, but he's never heard about Zelda breathing fire either.]

Oh i mean it's not all goats, just one kind.

But I guess you're saying it's... none of them where you're from? Huh.

I think it would've come up in our classes if they could breathe fire.
I guess some satyrs can cast, like, fireball and burning hands and stuff.
But that's not breathing fire.
And they are only half goat anyway.

Oh yeah I don't mean satyrs, i'm talking plated goats specifically

Come to think of it do you guys have plated goats at all?

text;

[nightyorb]

Uh. No. Our goats just have, you know, fur.

[woofdad]

Oh, ours do, too. Plated goats are a specific variety, and just also have... well, plating, kind of like what you might see on a crocodilian.

And they breathe fire.

[Y e a h.]

For obvious reasons, they are... not kept as livestock quite as frequently as non-magic goats.
