So far I've been caught burgling by a cat

Been eaten by a Puma

Tried to save someone from his buddies, who I thought were trying to hurt him (none of them took well to this intrusion)

I have basically mastered Caves of Qud by this point I think

I mean, Vines like me, and what else do you really need in life

I had a conversation with a "dilute salty Glowfish". It went thus:

Fish go blub.

> 1) Live and drink, aquafriend. [End]

..I have no idea what I'm doing but I am verymuch enjoying this.

Petition to rename the Fish clade "Aquafriends"

I mean

"Fish" isn't a very good taxanomic clade anyway, so

I don't see anyone complaining

(Explanation: Phylogenicly, any attempt to categorize "All fish" ends up including "All land-dwelling vertibrates too tho"

And then things get really awkward and people start shuffling their fins/flippers/feet

So we just call them "Fish" and pretend it's a Real Thing, when what we mean is "Aquafriends")
