I had a cat when I was a child. Maybe it was Mother's. I don't remember. I remember there being a cat. And I remember I liked it. It could easily be persuaded to do as I wanted when it would ignore anyone else. Useful creature.
I got a snake. I've always wanted one but never had the time. Now I have nothing but time. I might get a couple more. This one hatched a day or so ago, in my hands. Stunning creature. Very smart. Very low maintenance.
I have some new potions I want to try out if anyone is interested in a little science experiment. I'm sure they can't hurt anyone considering whatever force is behind this ship is hell bent on keeping me from having any fun at all.
